Does the Ultimate Doombuilder work on Linux Mint or CachyOS?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Mai 2026 - 02:01

So, the missing Doombuilder-compatibility was the only thing keeping me from switching completely to linux.

Is it still an issue?

How hard is it going to be running it, without using a Terminal?

oh, and:

I've read Creative Soundblaster Soundcards don't work on Linux?

is it still true?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Mai 2026 - 01:03

Since a recent update on Overwatch i've noticed that whenever i exit a menu such as the comms wheel, my view snaps upwards and about 90 degrees to the right.

I run Linux Bazzite Gnome and im not really too knowledgable on compatibility layers

Any idea what could cause this or how to fix?

Advice?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Mai 2026 - 00:40

Now I've mostly been using windows my whole life but recently it's become more unusable then normal, It uses a lot of ram and it's not like I can just buy more, I've been told to constantly switch to Linux, but my problem is that I mostly play modern shooters on my pc (fortnite, battlefield 6, r6, etc) and I know those don't work on Linux, I've been told to use cloud streaming but my internet sucks, also making them unplayable, any advice?

Fixing Xbox Controller random disconnections with TP-Link UB500 / RTL8761BU Bluetooth Adapter (F*CK REALTEK BTW)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Mai 2026 - 23:53

I'm writing this post because I think it might be useful to many people in the future.

I’ve been recently struggling with random Xbox Controller disconnections on my TP-Link UB500 Bluetooth Adapter. After digging through various forums, messing with xpadneo, etc., I think I’ve finally found a rock-solid solution.

IMPORTANT NOTE: TP-Link UB500 has different hardware revisions, some use the rtl8761b chip, while other variants (like mine) use the rtl8761bu. This fix is specifically for the BU variant, though the process might be similar for both. Check your dmesg to see which file your kernel is looking for!!

The fix that I used:

  1. Verify your chip and firmware version: Run sudo dmesg | grep -i bluetoothand look for the specific filename. If you see RTL: fw version 0xdfc6d922, you likely have the buggy firmware provided by recent kernels.
  2. Download old firmware: I used the firmware from the liberodark/rtl8761b repository: https://github.com/liberodark/rtl8761b
  3. Navigate to /lib/firmware/rtl_bt/ directory. Move any existing rtl8761bu files to a backup folder and copy the new rtl8761bu_fw.bin and rtl8761bu_config.bin from your extracted folder into it.
  4. Open terminal in this folder and set these two files permissions with chmod (sudo chmod 644 /lib/firmware/rtl_bt/rtl8761bu*)
  5. Your system won't load the new firmware unless you refresh the initramfs. In my case, I'm using Fedora 44 so i'm running command sudo dracut --force --verbose.
  6. Reboot your system and run sudo dmesg | grep 'RTL: fw version'. My version changed from0xdfc6d922 to 0x09a98a6b.

With xpadneo active (you install it from Getting Started section on it's GitHub page), the controller should work perfectly in all games. I've been using it for a few days on Eden emulator and it's working flawlessly!

Battle.net Broken

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Mai 2026 - 23:32

Lutris, Steam, Wine.. It doesnt matter.. When I run the installer it gets to 45% and throws this error.

BLZBNTAGT000008FC

I even went from POP! OS to Cachy OS to see if maybe it was debian versus arch.. absolutely not. Anyone else encountered this weird thing? I'm beginning to think it does not like my AMD GPU for some reason.

Cyberpunk 2077 freezes at a specific point during a mission

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Mai 2026 - 22:37

I'm playing Cyberpunk 2077 on Linux and I'm stuck in a main mission right after escaping Arasaka Tower, during the car chase with Delamain and Jackie.

The game always freezes at this exact same moment:
Right after I destroy the last drone, when Delamain says "Enemy aircraft eliminated." (or something like that since my game is in portuguese)

https://preview.redd.it/c3nebp4q8syg1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=03c3487266c44e90f12cd182d773b6c2d5eab42c

The subtitle appears, but then the game stops responding completely (no crash, just hangs forever).
Tried on Bazzite and now Nobara (same issue), and it's 100% reproducible, happens every single time. My hardware is more than enough to run the game, i have an RTX 5060, 16GB RAM and an I5-11400f.

What I already tried:

File verification

Full reinstall

Proton Experimental, Proton GE (latest) and other Proton versions

Deleted shadercache

Deleted compatdata

Low settings

Windowed / fullscreen

Ray tracing off

Changed voice language (EN ↔ PT-BR)

Disabled spatial audio

For launch options:

PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60

PIPEWIRE_LATENCY=128/48000

SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa

PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b"

The freeze happens only when the dialogue starts. If i just don't kill the drones, the game never freezes (and i can't continue the mission, of course) since the dialogue never happens. The game also doesn't close on its own like a normal crash. As i said, it stops responding (the "finish program or wait" window appears).

Has anyone experienced this specific freeze or knows a workaround?

At this point it feels like a Proton deadlock or script issue specific to this mission.

Any help is appreciated!

Zenless Zone Zero modding on Linux Mint performance issues

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Mai 2026 - 21:59

hey all,
So, I've been using linux mint for a while now, and I truly love it. However, I've had some issues with performance when it comes to playing Zenless Zone Zero on Linux.

I launch the game via steam, no mods, and the game runs really well. However, when I open the game (with mods) via lutris, all of a sudden I experience really bad performance issues. Would anyone happen to have a fix for this?? I tried adding the modded ZZZ to steam via lutris, but the game doesn't launch when I click the thing Lutris added (after I click the "add to steam" button thingy).

Hope for HDMI2.1?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Mai 2026 - 21:50

Am I getting too overexcited by this or does it really seem like we have hope for HDMI2.1 on Linux? Could really up the game of the bazzite-boxes, steam-machines and chimera-consoles if this does pan out 🤞🏻

Controller as mouse

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Mai 2026 - 20:44

So, when I want to use my controller as a mouse in game via Steam Input, in KDE Plasma i get a popup to confirm that I want steam to control mouse input, which is fine. However, in Hyprland I do not get any popup or notif to confirm, and so I cant use my gamepad as a mouse. Any fixes for that?
