Picked up Fallout 3 GOTY to replace my old DVD and have cloud sync of saves.

On my laptop, like it has for a decade on linux, the game just worked pretty much off the bat. Sure I know to add the large address aware flag when I actually play it, but I clicked install, and it just worked. Using Proton Experimental.

On the SteamDeck, when I do the same thing I get an error about Turning the Windows Feature on for .NET 3.0, and then the install script fails out and it gives me the original DVD autoplay which when you click install complains it can't find the DVD.

I've tried multiple different proton versions, I've tried using protontricks to install .NET3 which won't work in a 64-bit prefix, I've tried running the .NET 3.0 installer manually which fails with the same error, I've tried switching it to WinXP which lets the .NET installer run but seems to never finish.

What on earth is the difference between my SteamDeck and my laptop running Arch?

I've tried to re-calibrate the safe zone, but didn't work as intended. I think the game is thinking that I'm playing on a Steam Deck rather than a desktop, that's why the hud is all maximized.

I've tried looking into ProtonDB too, but no success. Some commands didn't even let my game start.

Any help or tip will be much, much appreciated.

i manually installed gamescope and mangohud from terminal both flatpak versions 25.08. Lutris is also flatpak. But Lutris fails to detect them. i want to try gamescope mods for full screen resolutions.

I use Zorin OS 18 which uses Wayland.

I have a PC, which I want to use as a Homeserver running Debian and Webmin. But I also want to use the same Pc with Retro Arch or Steam connected to a PC. How do I set that up the best way cause the server would also run while not needing to output to the tv, so it wouldn’t need to start a gui and I also at best want to control the gui just with a controller or webmin(-Terminal). Is Debisn even the best Distro for what I'm trying to achieve and should I maybe dual boot two distros?

Edit: I switched to Proton Experimental and the game starts again. I also cleared the in-game file cache, so it's downloading the internal files again. I will report back if this fixes the problem permanently or if it dies after one session again.

Hi, I'm running Bazzite and I've installed ZZZ via Lutris. Using the default runner, Wine_GE_8_26.

It has been working perfectly for months, I've got 120 hours listed. But now it crashes instantly on launch.

The interesting thing is, the game recently updated, yes. But after updating I was able to run the game for one session in the new version. It only started crashing after that.

I've tried changing to GE Proton and some of the other runners, but no luck.

Has anyone experienced this? Any advice on how to troubleshoot?

Thanks!

I want to use mangohud on a steam game called brink, but I can't get it to work. Even though it works on other games and I set the launch options on brink to "mangohud %command%". I tried goverlay but have no idea how to make it work. Help

¡Hello! I’ve spent many hours trying to get USB wired VR to work on Linux. Apparently, there’s better compatibility with WiFi connections than with USB. I’ve been trying to configure ALVR, and I’ve used every option in the official guide, but the only thing I’ve managed is a very buggy Wireless connection. It also disconnects intermittently.

I know it’s not a USB issue because the PC detects the device at all times once it’s connected.

My operating system is CachyOS, I use a Meta Quest 3, an AMD 6600 GPU, and a Ryzen 7 5800X.

I’m looking for alternatives from users who play VR on Linux and are more experienced with this, because maybe someone has gone through the same situation and found a viable solution.

I know I could use a wireless VR alternative on Linux, like WiVRn for example, but my WiFi connection is not good enough for VR and loses a lot of data.

It’s a shame that there’s still no official VR support on Linux, since Linux makes much better use of the hardware compared to Windows, which would result in a smoother experience.

For now, I’ll create a Windows partition until I find a Linux alternative.

I run KDE on Arch and 97% of the time it is going great.

however especially when there are notifications / active file transfers i experience either Plasma crashing and recovering. or just hanging Typically only noticed by me seeing the time has stopped.

Is there a good way to figure out what is causing this issue? i can't seem to find any logs for plasma itself?

Specs. kernel 6.17.9-zen

Wayland
