Helldivers 2 crackling sounds while playing

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 12 Stunden 45 Minuten

I recently switched to Linux (pop os to be specific, since I have a nvidia gpu). Im running the game on steam with proton 10 and is playing smooth with zero lags, but my one problem is that there is a constant crackling sound while playing, even if I close all other windows I had open ect. And I also played around with the options in the audio settings.

Is there maybe a command I have to do or install some audio input ect.

Has anyone else noticed that Linux will not properly sleep if you had played a Steam game?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 15 Stunden 57 Minuten

For almost a year now I've had this really annoying problem that seemed completely random, where my computer would crash on sleep. It does sleep normally most of the time, but then out of the blue it would freeze on sleep - where monitors and the RGB lighting on my keyboard and mouse turn off, but the fans are still going and the lights on the computer stay on and it produces heat - and become completely unresponsive until i force it off. It annoyed the everlasting gobstopper out of me because there seemed to be no pattern - except that it basically never did it immediately after a fresh boot.

Only recently did I finally notice that it seemed to almost correlate to whenever I launched Steam and play a game so I asked Brave AI if that was a known issue and lo and behold it was a persistent issue where Steam would override power management when playing a game but fail to release the override, so the system just hangs on the override. The suggestion was to add SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER=1 to the launch options so I right-click the icon in the start menu select properties and add it to the command, and lo and behold my computer went to sleep properly every single time. At least until it started happening again, where I realised that I was launching steam by launching the game directly which bypassed the start menu option I overrode the override on.

So is this an issue anyone else have discovered? What have they done to fix it properly? This is Linux Mint 22.2 with Nvidia 1660 super btw

I am having a problem with Sober (roblox), for example there are shooter games that have usable vehicles, but when I want to select the secondary weapon it does not allow me to do so no matter how many times I press the buttons, but outside of the vehicle I can use any primary or secondary weapon, does anyone know a solution?

Question is there any benefit to upgrading to 64 GB of RAM compared to 32???

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 17 Stunden 50 Minuten

I just got a prebuilt system from cyberpower, and I’m loving it! Got myself CachyOS running everything with no issues.

The question I have is there any benefit to upgrading from 32gb of ram to 64gb on these specs and get better gaming performance? I’m aware of the ram prices so it will be later once things stabilized. Oh, and I am only running one stick of ram I know not happy about it either.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 18 Stunden 57 Minuten

Everything was working perfectly fine yesterday, but today none of my mouse clicks register in any of my games. No idea what's going on rn. Not even switching proton versions seems to be doing anything so hopefully someone can help me with this. (Sorry for loud background noise as space heater was running.)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 20 Stunden 27 Minuten

I tried using archive and steamrip with no luck. I go through the installation process on lutris like usual but when I launch the game using the 3dm exe the game crashes on the logo. When I try running it using the normal fifa14 exe I get an origin launcher error. Any help would be amazing. Thanks

So I just setup my linux mint setup on my rtx 4060 laptop and downloaded the recommended graphics driver. Afterwards I downloaded steam and tried playing silent hill 2 but mint doesn’t use my dedicated gpu for games it uses the integrated intel graphics card. I started looking around in Nvidias settings after I understood this I turned the performance mode on for the 4060 but now the game doesn’t even open. I don’t understand can someone help me?

Right now Steam Storage setting say /Home/[username]/.local/share/steam/ However that is a smallish drive for the OS. I WANT to install in an HDD at /media/[username]/Games
