Was told to post here, as the post says I’ve used my g27 wheel before and it worked fine. It shows up and tests well In oversteer but there’s absolutely zero force feedback. I can’t play without it tbh. I’ve heard of the new driver but can’t install it. Not sure I wanna mess around with kernels or have space for dual booting another Linux os. Did anyone manage at all? Thanks for any useful reply!

Hey, I’m trying to figure out why my Linux gaming performance is so much worse than Windows on the same system.

System:

• Fedora 44 KDE
• Ryzen 5 3600
• Radeon RX 9070 XT
• Kernel: 6.19.14-300.fc44.x86_64
• Mesa: 26.0.5
• RADV: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT (RADV GFX1201)
• linux-firmware: 20260410-1.fc44
• GameMode: 1.8.2
• MangoHud: 0.8.3~rc1
• Steam/Proton: Proton Experimental tested, also tried Proton-GE
• Current AMDGPU performance profile: profile_peak

Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark comparison:

• Windows: average ~118 FPS, min ~85 FPS
• Fedora/Linux: average ~88 FPS, min ~62 FPS

Every setting is the same, with raytracing off.

Deadlock issue:
Deadlock also has extreme framedrops on Linux. It starts high, then drops badly and can feel like ~15 FPS for a while. Sometimes it then seems capped around 60 FPS for some time. Proton Experimental and Proton-GE did not improve it.

What I already checked:

• profile_peak is active during gaming.
• GPU sysfs logs show profile_peak, gpu_busy_percent=100, sclk around ~2300–2400 MHz, mclk at 1258 MHz.
• When frames drop, the gpu frequency drops to under 600MHz, but I do not know if it is the cause of the result of the drop.
• vulkaninfo --summary shows RADV correctly:
  • deviceName = AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT (RADV GFX1201)
  • driverName = radv
  • driverInfo = Mesa 26.0.5
• Kernel log did not show obvious hard AMDGPU reset messages like ring gfx timeout, GPU reset, wedged, or GCVM_L2_PROTECTION_FAULT.

Does anyone have an idea where such a big Windows vs Linux gap could come from on this setup? Could this be related to Fedora 44, Mesa 26.0.5, RADV support, Proton, GameMode, or something specific to RDNA 4 cards?

I would prefer not to switch distros. Any tips for what to test next would be appreciated.

Hi,

I recently discovered, that every single time I launch Detroit Become Human it compiles shaders. I searched on forums and protondb too, but I couldn't solve my problem.

Has anyone else had this problem? If yes, how did you solve it?

OS: Arch Linux
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600X
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3060

I am on a fresh install of Fedora Workstation 44 with the latest NVIDIA drivers (595.71.05) and I am trying to play Total War: WARHAMMER III via Proton Experimental (not native). I have a 9800x3D and 4090.

It actually runs pretty well but every now and then, possibly when my FPS hits low points during the AI turns, the screen goes entirely black for a few frames. As soon as the AI turns finish, it is usually fine.

Also, after a particular action happens during my turn, the screen goes entirely black whenever I move my mouse. I have noticed that if I hit "Print Screen" to take a screenshot, it will "fix" it for a time. Eventually, though, it will happen again.

I've tried a few different things to no avail, like setting `PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1` or using GE-Proton10-34. I have tried other games and have not had this happen to them, so it must be something specific to TW: WH III.

I tried searching for similar issues but was not able to find any. Any thoughts?

Hello everyone!

This option is enabled by default after each boot, if I wanna play I must manually come and uncheck it, otherwise my games always freeze on launch, is it possible to leave it unchecked permanently?

Thanks in advance.

One area that's lacking on Linux right now is support for later versions of HDMI with AMD GPUs, but it seems expanded features are coming.

Hello, this is my first post on Reddit and english isn't my main language, so please take it easy with me.

I'm switching to CachyOS Handheld on a laptop (because i really like the steamos interface) from Windows 11 because of privacy concerns, and I want to play my steam library there. I know there is a website called proton.db and i tried everything to run my games but i had no luck so it would be cool if you could help me :)

My question is: all of these games don't have native linux support so i need to use proton/wine, but i don't know how to use them; are these games playable with proton and with witch version of it?

- Star Wars Squadrons

- Star Wars Battlefront 2 Celebration Edition (new)

- The Crew 2

- Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order

- Battlefield 2042

- Battlefield 4

- Titanfall 2

- WRC 5

• R.E.P.O

Other question: will I have better or worse performance overall on linux than windows 11? what should i use as game start flags to upgrade performance and QoL?

Thank you!

My specs:

i9 12th HK

iGPU

32gb DDR4 2600

1tb SSD

Hi friends.

I'm using CachyOS Arch KDE with a GTX 1050 Ti.

I was playing Black Myth: Wukong several times until yesterday without any problems. I played it on Steam, as a non-Steam game installed in my Steam library, using Proton-CachyOS.

I always use Proton-CachyOS for all my games, whether they're Steam or non-Steam. They've always worked perfectly.

This morning I updated with "paru," and the packages I'll show below were updated. Now, when I launch any game, something called "Steam Linux Runtime 4.0" downloads, and none of my games start.

I've removed all the prefixes and restarted the game to recreate them, but none of my games will launch.

I know this happened because of the update, but I don't know what I broke.

This is the update I did today that broke something:

Everytime i try to install the Game using Lutris/Heroic i get this issue when using Proton (DW-Proton or GE doesnt matter), even tho i have more than enough diskspace. Only when using Wine11 it works, however the game doesnt start using Wine11 and when i change back to DW-Proton it fails downloading again (theres always a small patch like 1MB or sum)

On steam via non-steam game and DW-Proton it works flawless. Is this a Bug in Heroic/Lutris/Umu or am i doing something wrong?

I already tried editing the disks via winecfg but it doesnt change anything, no matter if i try to install it directly into the mapped C drive of the prefix or in another dir

Just wanting to get an idea as to what distros people would sugest for this usecase and the process that is required for it to function. The gpu is an Nvidia RTX 2080 Super, so it will require Nvidia Drivers. The enclure uses Thunderbolt 3.

Currently hotswapping on Windows 11 has been great, but I do want to shift to linux on all of my computers.

What are people's suggestions and why?

Hi everyone, hoping to get some help as I'm very new to linux.

I've managed to get up and running and have been playing games without issue however I've noticed that games such as cyberpunk do not allow me to use FSR 4.0 despite having a compatible card.

I've used Proton plus to install Proton-GE (and have set that to be used within the steam properties) and am running mesa 25.2.8 according to glxinfo command.

On a 9060 xt 16gb, 5800x, 16gb ram. Linux - Mint

Probably missing a check box or something but if anyone could ell me I'd be massively grateful!!

Thank you in advance
