I'm trying to get Hale infinite to run, but whenever I try to log in with the Microsoft account it fails to open the pop up window, so I'm stuck, I didn't had that problem with MCC I already tried using different Proton versions, but with no success

In the title screen, it uses about 1Gb of vram and 50-70% GPU usage. When i load into a store it goes to 98% usage and 7.8Gb/8Gb of vram, making everything else glitch.

Anyone got an idea on how to fix this?

I already have RE1, RE4, and RE7 running on my system without any issues. However, RE9 has very low FPS and exhibits numerous artifacts. It does not make any difference whether the settings are maxed out or set to the lowest possible.

By default, like RE4, it doesn't let me enable RT, and I had to run the game with `/WineDetectionEnabled:False`. However, it will crash frequently whenever I max out the RT or enable PT.

I've tried:

• `PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1`
• `WINE_DISABLE_HARDWARE_SCHEDULING=1`
• `PROTON_ENABLE_NGX_UPDATER=1` and the following `DXVK_NVAPI_DRS_NGX_DLSS_*`
• Changing the Windows compatibility layer from Win10 to Win11
• Using a different proton version (Hotfix, Experimental, GE-Proton)
• `PROTON_LOG=1` It shows no trace of any error.

Nothing made any difference at all. How can I fix this?

My system:

• OS: ArchLinux 6.18.9-zen1-2-zen
• Desktop: KDE Plasma 6.6.0 on Wayland
• CPU: R9 9950X3D
• dGPU: RTX 5080 (Driver: nvidia-open-dkms 590.48.01-4)
• iGPU: Disabled
• Env vars: the `/etc/environments` is empty and I don't have anything special in my shell's settings too.

Hello everyone,

Is anybody experiencing crashes on this game too?

I was able to open it and pass through the options of privacy, brightness, contrast, etc. successfully. But after that, the game crashes after a few seconds if left on the main menu or during the loading screen when starting a new game.

It happened to me with various versions of Proton.

My configuration:

• Distro: Fedora Kinoite 43.
• Kernel: 6.18.13.
• CPU: 9950X3D.
• GPU: 5070 Ti.
• Nvidia Driver: 580.119.02.
• Proton versions tested:
  • Experimental
  • Hotfix
  • 9.0-4
  • 10.0-4
  • GE-Proton10-32
  • GE-Proton10-26

Did anyone have the same issue and fixed it, or do I need to wait until an update is released?

For those who don't know, in the latest Virtua Fighter updates, they added EAC, but strangely the game was no longer working on Linux. It was possible to solve this problem with the command "steamdeck=1 %command%", but let's face it, it's very annoying to have to do that to run a game that already worked on Linux. Now they've fixed it :D

Did it take a long time? Yes... But better late than never.

This is my laptop. 5050 GPU, 13450HX CPU if you don't want to click.

edit: may have come off wrong here or people may not be reading the full post, but i dont mind if performance is equal. i want to switch for stability because right now i have to restart every so often, system and apps will freeze sometimes etc. i will mind if performance is like 5% worse

I normally wouldn't ask this question because the obvious answer to me would be a devout "no." But is gaming on Linux, on, say, a distro like Bazzite or Debian, going to be a better experience than Windows? Not sure if it's just Reddit lunacy, but I recall some people telling me that it's on par or better. I do not play online multiplayer games and never plan to. Purely games like Cyberpunk 2077, E33, Elden Ring (I don't care if I can't play online here), etc.

For context, I've already debloated Windows with a tool called Winutil and use an application-level firewall, Portmaster, to block unneeded connections. I'd switch to Linux if it isn't a headache to do so. Last time I used Debian, suspend/resume (sleep) was a headache, and I probably spent ~10 hours finding drivers to fix Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

I would consider dualbooting, but there were some issues about bluetooth with hmac keys being mismatched or something and and dont want to troubleshoot for hours to get devices working correctly. also bluetooth in general was just worse with debian... laptop wouldnt autoconnect at boot to my headphones, the bluetooth applet kept duplicating entries of the same devices

The only reason I'd want to switch to Linux is better stability. I want to run the operating system, as in open Dolphin to manage files, Okular to read documents, and run a browser with 20+ tabs for ~30 active hours while sleeping and waking the system many times with no issues. I would not switch if I would experience even a 5% performance drop or any instability in games that Windows would not have.

I do not care about any software ideology, as in if linux: isnt made against my intentions, is foss, is truly mine, etc.

Also, I want a tool that dynamically adjusts monitor refresh rate and changes the laptop performance profile (on Windows it's Fn+Q) when plugging the charger in and out.

Appreciate any soul willing to help haha.

I have a RTX 3060 and in one week I am going to receive a RX7700XT, I know that with AMD GPU it’s plug and play thanks to the drivers in the kernel but is it with Nvidia the same thing ?

I am a linux beginner and i dual boot ubuntu with my main os, windows 11. The games were in a ntfs partition and used to work fine when added to steam.

The problem is that i had to add the partition to steam everytime i started my computer to be able to play the games so for fixing that, i created a mount point for the partition and added it to fstab. after that, i had to add the ubuntu/mnt/[mountpoint] file to steam for the games to come up again, they did appear, but no game will every start.

I have changed the protons in use and unmount and delete the mount point so it could go back to the other locations tab in files again for me to use it, it didnt work. the games are still unusable in linux no matter what.

I got a HP Victus 15 with i5 12500k and RTX 3050 , tried 11 distros and gaming was not even close to Windows (low fps, crashes, input lag, stutters).

I was about to accept my fate and return to Windows with my tail between my legs.

I tried:

Nobara 43 + Fedora 43

Ubuntu 25.10 + Kubuntu 25.10

Cachy OS

Mint 22 Cinnamon+XFCE

MX Linux 25 KDE+XFCE

Zorin 18

Pop OS 24.04

On all the distros Msfs2020 which is my favorite game was unplayable due to low FPS, and Descenders (which is native BTW) had micro stutters.

Then I tried Ubuntu 24.04 LTS without too much hope, because it's older and not branded as a gaming distro, but to my surprise everything worked great!

Gaming performance is actually similar to windows! so I'm going to stick with it for a while.

The kernel and driver versions of Ubuntu LTS are actually similar to latest Ubuntu 25.10 (kernel 6.17 and 590 driver) but performance and stability is night and day between those versions.

I also noticed it ran x11 session by default out of the box, so maybe it's a clue. All other distros used Wayland except the XFCE ones, but those had other issues (instability, some games wouldn't even launch, tearing).

I don't know if it's just my hardware or if it's something to do with newer distros being unstable, but wow it was exhausting, and I'm glad I found something that works for me.

Hey all,

i have an question, sometimes i test around with self programmed Indie Games or from a Games Jam.

As i am not all the time 100% sure whats going on with the exe files or games, i would like to secure the Proton enviroment of the game as much as possible.

I know Proton/Wine is not ment to sandbox anything, but is there anything to isolate a game from the running system except a Prefix?
I read somewhere that every Proton/Wine game gets access to the / mount with the running user, is there a way to remove this feature?

I read something about firejail, maybe this would be an idea?
