Does linux have System Memory Fallback - NVIDIA

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. März 2026 - 14:03

Or is there another method to offloading vram some place else because whenever my vram gets maxed out, the entire game crashes

Help installing a game on Steam Deck.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. März 2026 - 13:42

The game is Pro Evolution Soccer 5.

I have the files and I've tried installing via Lutris but the game does not boot. I tried to install d3d9x and this didn't help either.

Am I missing something? I've had my Deck for 4 years and I've only ever managed to get one game working via Lutris.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In game custom mouse pointer uses low resolution image

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. März 2026 - 13:10

I am on Ubuntu 24.04, I have tried using gamescope, proton-ge and whatever else I have been able to find online to no avail. The game starts and runs(other textures and UI elements are correct), the only issue is this pointer (the size is correct but the quality is off)

GPU VRAM Clock stuck at minimum after closing mpv - Arch + niri WM (RX 6650 XT)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. März 2026 - 12:39

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing a performance issue with my GPU on Arch Linux while using the niri WM.

Hardware:

  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT
  • Monitor: 180Hz refresh rate

The Problem: After watching a video using mpv, the VRAM clock speed gets stuck at its minimum idle frequency. When I close mpv and launch a game, the VRAM frequency fails to ramp up, leading to very poor performance.

Interesting Findings:

  • The issue immediately resolves itself if I toggle the screen (e.g., logging out/back in or simply changing the monitor refresh rate in settings). This seems to "reset" the power state.
  • It feels like a handshake issue between the driver and the high refresh rate (180Hz) after the GPU exits a video decoding state.

System Info:

  • OS: Arch Linux
  • WM: niri (Wayland)
  • Driver: Mesa/amdgpu

Has anyone seen this "stuck VRAM" behavior specifically on high refresh rate monitors? Are there any known workarounds for amdgpu to prevent it from locking the memory clock after hardware acceleration is used?

Thanks in advance!

Additional Note: I have VRR enabled

My indie MOBA, after 10 years of solo development and many headaches, is finally ready to play.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. März 2026 - 12:31

Hello everyone, I want to share my indie project with the community: a MOBA that I've developed entirely on my own over the last 10 years. It started as a personal prototype for learning, but over time it grew into a complete game with its own systems, original characters, and mechanics designed for competitive and strategic matches.

It's available for PC and mobile, with the idea that anyone can try it and give their feedback without barriers.

Development:

  • 10 years of solo work
  • Programming, design, and balancing done by a single person
  • Hero system with unique abilities
  • Game modes focused on strategy and teamwork
  • Active updates and constant improvements

Right now, the most important thing is to receive real feedback from players. I'm looking for honest feedback on:

  • Gameplay
  • Balance
  • Skill Clarity
  • Overall Experience

You can play it here:
https://www.wof-studies.com/

You can also join the community Discord server:
https://discord.gg/hwEUX2TcZ3

On Discord, you'll find all the latest news, updates, balance discussions, upcoming changes, and the opportunity to talk directly with me about development.

If you try it out, any feedback—positive or negative—helps me tremendously to keep improving it. I can also answer questions about the development process, tools used, and design decisions.

Thank you for your time and for giving this indie project, crafted with a lot of patience, a chance.

Issue with mouse wheel scrolling input on nobara

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. März 2026 - 10:20

When using my Corsair M65 mouse on proton i get erratic scrolling where in menus it struggles to scroll down and springs up again and in games like MGSV the scroll input doesn't work at all unless i scroll out and then in really fast and it works for about 0.2% of a scroll. I'm on KDE Plasma Wayland nobara. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

Linux distribution maintainers should simply ignore the age verification mandates and see if the goverment can enforce it or not

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. März 2026 - 08:57
If it's unenforceable and the distro organizations are not penalized, that's a double victory. If the regulation starts to penalize or reprimand them, and it becomes a big deal, then linux organizations can simply start implementing age verification (that can be easily defeated by users with fake data). make your politicians aware of this: https://tboteproject.com/. contact them
