Shadows seem to exist in a big circle around me, based on where my camera is. Third image is what the range is supposed to look like. I'm on an Arc A770 and just started with Debian. Anyone have any insight?

Hi, I've been trying to get Skyrim working on my Linux laptop and running into a weird issue I can't find a solution for.

System: Acer Nitro AN515-54, Intel i5-9300H, NVIDIA GTX 1650 (discrete GPU), Nobara 43, KDE Plasma 6, PipeWire

What works fine: - FPS is normal and stable - UI is instantly responsive - Player-triggered sounds (footsteps, jumping, but not fighting) are immediate (if noone nearby is moving their lips) - Background ambient sounds play continuously with rare statters

The problem: All NPC speaking is delayed by approximately 5 seconds (lips move first, and only then there are subtitles and voice). Other NPC-triggered events and player using weapons are delayed even more (sometimes minutes). This includes NPC voice lines, combat sounds (weapon clashes, screams), and visual effects like hit blood splatter. Crucially, the sound and the visual effect always arrive together — so it's not an audio sync issue, it's the entire game event being delayed.

For example: during combat, everything is silent and no visual effects (spells are okay, but no on-screen blood splatters). Then several seconds after the fight ends, I hear all the sounds one by one with pauses between them, and simultaneously see blood splatter as if I'm still being hit.

Another example: in the starting carriage scene all these delays accumulate (lips, sound, then lips again). As a result, the dialogue lasts twice as long as it should. The carriage has already stopped but the wheels are still creaking and Ralof hasn't yet started speaking about Tullius who is already out of sight.

What I've already tried: - Vanilla game, no mods, no SKSE - Skyrim AE (1.6.1170) and downgraded to SE 1.5.97 - Proton 9.0, Proton Experimental, GE-Proton (latest) - X11 and Wayland sessions - PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 - WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_9=n,b;xaudio2_8=n,b;xaudio2_7=n,b" - Papyrus budget increased to 3ms and even to 30ms (log confirms it applies, VM shows no overload) - Blocked Bethesda.net in Wine hosts file - gamemode - PROTON_NO_FSYNC and PROTON_NO_ESYNC - SSE Engine Fixes with bLipSync=true (loads successfully per d3dx9_42.log)

Papyrus log shows no errors and the VM is not overloaded — maybe it's waiting for something rather than being too busy.

Has anyone seen this? Any ideas what could cause all game events to be delayed like this specifically under Wine/Proton?

The icing on the cake is that Red Dead Online has been playing just great for over a month.

I'm running Linux Mint 22.3.

Steam is installed via the system packages.

inxi:

PU: 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (-MT MCP-) speed/min/max: 3081/558/4208 MHz

Kernel: 6.17.0-14-generic x86_64 Up: 3h 4m Mem: 4.58/31.26 GiB (14.7%)

Storage: 1.62 TiB (31.0% used) Procs: 437 Shell: Bash

I don't feel like this is a video card / graphics issue as the game has launched (and does launch) without error(s).

vulkaninfo - doesn't appear to be in the system package manager,

glxinfo - dumps out a TON of info! Not sure if there are specific lines that would be helpful

Additional info:

Last night, after having played earlier in the afternoon, the game seems to refuse to connect to the service. The game launches as expected, the Rockstar launcher windows appear and close without erorrs. The online menu opens and I pick a join option. After the loading screens go by for around a minute, I get the message that the connection to Rockstar was lost.

At the same time, two other computers on the same network behind the same modem continue to work. I've played dozens of hours with all 3 machines online fine at once.

Other things I have tried while searching for possible solutions:

Renaming the compatdata folder and swapping from Proton 10.4 back to Proton Experimental - no luck.

I have made sure IPv6 is disabled in the wired connection settings.

I have disabled the firewall as a test. It was working fine with it on and I had the commonly recommended ports set to allowed as well.

Also, least desireable -- If I reboot into Windows, it works just fine.

Nobara

What is a good Linux alternative to Cheat Engine/Art Money, just a simple little tool for gamers to enjoy a single player game the way they want. Looked at PINCE but the lead seems to not want people to think of it as a Cheat Engine alternative.

Hello!

I've been fighting this for the last few days, and am running out of ideas and google-fu.

I'm running Fedora 43 with a 5070 and the nvidia drivers from rpmfusion. I'm having really bad performance when running games (so far tried X-Plane 12 and CS2). Both seem stuck around 10-20fps, and nvidia-smi show really low gpu usage (10-15%). I'm launching sway with --unsupported-gpu -D noscanout, and the following envvars set:

WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1 WLR_RENDERER=vulkan _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 XWAYLAND_NO_GLAMOR=1 QT_QPA_PLATFORM="wayland" QT_WAYLAND_DISABLE_WINDOWDECORATION=1 CLUTTER_BACKEND=wayland SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 GBM_BACKEND=nvidia-drm __GL_GSYNC_ALLOWED=0 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia VDPAU_DRIVER=nvidia NVD_BACKEND=direct

To get another datapoint, I tried two things:
- Installing the hyprland from the available copr repo
- Installing gamescope and launching the game through gamescope on sway

In both cases, performance is as expected with high gpu usage and around 100fps in x-plane.

I've tried setting allow_tearing on and adaptive_sync on for my main display, but I saw no difference.

Does anyone have any pointers or ideas? Am I better off just biting the bullet and trying a different wm?

Thanks!

So I’m trying to change my aspect ratio to 4:3 and the resolution to 1920 x 1440 in counter strike, but whenever I try it the game has a huge black bar only on the right side of the screen. I’m using Pop OS, my xdg session type is x11, and my gpu is a nvidia rtx 5070. Also, I have a innocn 240hz monitor. Does anyone know how to fix this? I’ve already tried looking in the nvidia settings within the CLI to change the scaling output, but there’s literally no option to change the scaling output.

so far ive only really noticed this in kovaaks(only game that gets high enough fps for latency to matter to me), which has native linux support, anyways, i notices my latency felt weird so i started checking if any settings were fucked and eventually on a whim i checked proton, and despite it originally having been off, it was on, turning it off fixed my latency issues

not really an issue as i fixed it, but it is weird

cachyos, not sure if this matters

System freezes when downloading games on Steam (Linux, AMD GPU)

Specs: - Distro: ZorinOS 18 (Ubuntu 24.04 base) - GPU: RX 7600 (amdgpu / RADV) - Kernel tested: 6.17 and 6.14 - NVMe SSD

Problem: When downloading games on Steam, at some point the system freezes. Terminal stops responding and sometimes shutdown doesn’t work. Already had a kernel panic once.

Logs: - amdgpu: Overdrive is enabled - EXT4 remounted read-only once after freeze

Notes: I use a mild undervolt that was stable before recent updates.

Question: Could this be amdgpu power / kernel regression / NVMe issue? Anyone seen freezes specifically during Steam downloads?

I am heavily into Skyrim modding and have got most of the standard modding tools working under Linux. But I am having major issues with BodySlide and Outfit Studio, which is absolutely critical to my modding efforts.

When I start up Outfit Studio the render window is black and does not render the model that I have loaded. Everything else seems to be fine.

I have a 4090 and am currently using the 580.119.02 drivers. I've talked to Ousnius directly and they've stated that OpenGL 3.3 is used and it's probably a driver/OpenGL issue. I've tried the 590 drivers in CachyOS and run into the same issue. I am currently on Fedora 43.

Has anyone managed to make this work in Linux? I really, really don't want to go back to Microslop.

Hello, a few months ago i moved to fedora KDE and ever since i installed it i have had a weird issue sometimes when i boot up a game it runs at like 20 fps instead what its suppose to run, at first i thought i needed to do a reboot to fix it but i also found out if i change my monitor refresh rate and go back to what it is it also fixes itself,any idea what might cause this? before this install i was running linux mint with cinnamon and it did not have this issue, also this FPS bug applies to both steam and heroic,i am using proton-ge and specs are RX 6600 and an intel i3-13100F also a 1440p 180 hz LG ultragear monitor if that is related.

Hello all. I’m sick and tired of using windows and I’ve really wanted to switch to Linux for the longest time now. My biggest issue however that’s holding me back is I do not know a good way to transfer all of my data from Windows to Linux. I have a lot of data (about a TB worth) not including games. I was wondering if there’s any methods anybody has used that works really well for transferring data?

Hello,

I have a big problem. I play Hunt Showdown and get from time to time freezes.

I think it was because the startoption in Steam but now I try to play without startoption and get it too.

If i get the freeze i must switch to desktop and than again to the game to solve it.

I try many things out but nothing helps.

Can anybody pls help me?

This game runs otherwise better then on Windows 11. I love to play on linux but with this issue i cant.

I previously installed Freelancer and an HD mod on Faugus and it works great. I go to install D2 and when I launch the game it says:

Diablo II failed to run. Please make sure your Diablo II Expansion Disc is in your CD-ROM drive, then click on 'Retry'.

I'm using a DRM free installer with a key that does not require a CD. It has previously worked for me on Lutris but after a recent update neither game works for me there. So I would really like to get it working on Faugus. Any help is appreciated.
