do you think if the steam machine does well enough it'll force anti cheats to allow linux? ive recently switched to omarchy on my laptop and I love it, the only thing stopping me from putting it on my main pc, my most played games are rust and battlefield. I can only hope some changes come soon, but what do you guys think?

Okay so I just fixed this a month ago, but I did a system restore and now I'm trying to remember how I did all this.

I remember I had to edit some desktop file, and then set the value of a certain field to the name that shows up when you hover over the game like in this screenshot.

Does anyone know this specific fix I'm talking about? What are the exact steps? Thank you. Trust me I did search all over but I can't seem to land on the same thread I did in the past

I can't get my DualSense Pro to work through Steam Input when I'm using the Wayland driver in Proton-GE or Proton Cachy-OS. I've read online that running Steam with steam -steamos3 is supposed to fix this issue, but for me it does nothing. Some games work with my DualSense, but it seems they're reading raw input from my controller and not from the virtual Xbox 360 controller Steam Input is supposed to create. Another thing that confirms this is if I remap a DualSense button to a keyboard key, the game records the keypress, so Steam Input is somewhat working in that case.

Running games without the Wayland driver obviously fixes the issue, but I lose HDR support.

I know I can run my games in gamescope to keep both HDR and gamepad support, but I'd like to stop using it because it's causing performance issues.

edit: typo

Note: This does not occur on Windows 11 plus FPS is way higher at 780 in that same area.

Things i've tried

• Proton GE with ntsync
• proton experimental

Random question - I've gotten all my games set up in Steam and Heroic and so far everything I've tried runs great in Ubuntu... except Baldur's gate 3. It's incredibly slow, and you can sit and watch the surface textures slowly appear one by one. It starts and runs, but is unplayable. But, it runs smooth and fast on the exact same computer when rebooted into Windows. AMD Ryzen 7, btw.

Anyone familiar with this issue?

I can just reboot into Windows when I want to play but I'd rather avoid it if possible, it's a pain.

(reposted from r/skyrimmods)

I am using Vortex

I keep getting a SKSE Plugin loader error that says

CommintyShaders.dll: couldn't load plugin (000003E6)
OpenAnimationReplacer.dll: couldn't load plugin (000003E6)

I can click "no" and It will load skyrim without CS or OAR, but I wanna get them working if I can. I have downloaded all their requirements.

Not sure where the problem is coming from. I thought it might've been VC++ redistributable, but im thinking that isnt the case.

I want a wireless controller for my PC, running both Linux and Windows, and my budget is $60. What is a controller that works with minimal driver installation and setup, without needing third party software to use, that will be recognized by most games?

I do not want to use adaptive triggers, sound output, gyroscope, programmable buttons, or any extra features but a plain gamepad for both modern and retro games, except for rumble. Basically an Xbox 360 controller.

I have been burned time and time again by Microsoft and I do nit trust anything they release, including their controllers for gaming, especially since I'm partially using it for Linux.

My PS3 controller works perfectly on my Windows 10 when running SCPServer, but I cannot use it wireless, and frankly, I do not like the form factor of dualshock 3, as the Xbox style is much nicer to hold.

I tried a PowerA Switch controller, and while it connected to the PC out of the box on Bluetooth, very few of my games actually recognized the controller, and the ones that did didn't recognize the D-pad and I had to use an Xbox controller emulator to get it working on most games, and the vibration did not work. The games that require dual analog sticks glitched out to the point it was unusable.

People are raving about the dualsense controller, which is on sale at Gamestop for $54 right now, but I have never been a fan of it because I hate the adaptive triggers. It's good that Sony has drivers for both Linux and Windows, but does it require an app or third party software or emulation to get it working properly on most games?

Again, I don't use Steam, so there's no Steam input nonsense for me to automate this. All of my games are run as a .exe without a launcher, mostly from GOG and Itch.io.

I actually don't mind the dualshock 4, which I can get for $46 at Gamestop (not on sale). I think I'd like that more than the dualsense, tbh, just because it's a more barebones controller without features I don't want, and I'd suspect that Sony would require less third party software for it, and that's there'd be more community development for it. But maybe I'm wrong, and dualsense works better out of the box without Steam. Correct me on that.

I also found a PowerA OPS V1 Windows controller for $50 at the Microcenter (a store I despise), and a PDP Switch controller at Target on sale for $50. I found some ugly-ass mountain dew green Xbox Series X/S??? controller at Target on sale for $55, but again I want nothing to do with official mIcrosoft merchandise be ause I don't trust they aren't going to brick rhe controller for Windows and Linux when the Xbox 5 comes out. So I refuse to get that one.

Between the PowerA OPS V1, PDP Switch, dualshock 4, and dualsense controllers, which is the easiest out-of-the-box experience for non-Steam applications that may or may not natively recognize a non-microsoft controller?

I'm thinking of just getting the dualshock 4 for now, since the ds3 has been so easy and reliable, and I'd have a better feeling that Soyny won't a "you need to use the Sony app for this" later on with it, which I don't feel for the dualsense.

Note that I do like that the two third party controllers listed above are made in Vietnam instead of China, which is my biggest turn off for the ds4. Just security reasons I don't like Chinese-made products, especially electronics.

Thank you in advanced.

I was just wondering, I am planning on switching over to Linux on my PC but due to the drives I have available etc there is going to end up being a bit of hot potato happening. I was wondering if anyone knew of any utility tools/sites that help with like a checklist or flow guide for moving gaming files over to Linux?

I'm running Arch with Hyprland on the linux-zen kernel. For about a week now, when I share my screen on Discord and someone starts viewing it, at first the monitor would go black and return to the lock screen — after I entered the password the machine behaved like it had just booted. Now, when someone opens my screen it shows artifacting: multicolored striped bands, like in the attached video.

https://reddit.com/link/1p3kqgv/video/ygns6z6cqq2g1/player

I'm posting here instead of the Arch forum because the same thing happens on Kali with XFCE and on Arch with KDE Plasma. I thought it might be the desktop environment, the distribution, or the kernel, but apparently it isn't. I can share my screen from Windows with no problem — this error only happens on Linux.

One important note: my GPU is an RX 580 2048SP; previously I had a standard RX 550. I tried reinstalling the old RX 550 to see if the problem persisted, and it does.

I've already tried changing Discord settings (disabled hardware acceleration), tried modified Discord clients — nothing worked. The only thing that works is Discord in the browser; the desktop app shows the error.

Just built a new PC. Migrated my hard drive from the old to the new. Forgot to put the boot USB to install Endeavour OS.

Got this.

Windows was not installed on this drive, at all. It was a BTRFS file system with Arch installed. I was dual booting, with Windows on another drive. There are no other hard drives or USB drives connected to this machine, including the HDD I had Windows installed on. Its connected to another PC. There is no reason for a Windows recovery screen to appear, other than I happened to dual boot for a short period.

I'm telling y'all, windows is a virus.

With the recent Bs with windows Ai I’m not willing to stay with windows at this point. But I’m stuck here between different distor’s I game a lot but now some of the games I play like league or destiny won’t work( I know devs screwed this up). But the two distorts I’m looking at are nobara and bazzeite( I can’t spell it). Which would be better in terms of some light school work along with gaming and media consumption?

Daré un poco de contexto aunque se que no es muy relevante, llevo meses pensando librarme de Windows, soy usuario gamer (casi no juego competitivos, ni que tuviera amigos para eso además tengo consola) el caso es que me he estado planteando la idea de pasarme a Windows tras ver todas esas jugadas extrañas que le harán a su sistema y que de por si mataron a Windows 10, entonces instale CachyOs para tener una distro llamativa con KDE Plasma, tengo un teclado mecánico genérico de la marca Gamer Tech, tiene una perilla, para ajustar el volumen y varias teclas de función las cuales no funcionan bien, cuando subo el volumen con la perilla este baja en el sistema operativo y cuando lo subo al igual con la perilla se baja, no soy mucho de conocer el sistema operativo pero cacharreando un poco con la terminal pese a no saber y con la ayuda de chat GPT descubrí que constantemente el teclado esta mandando señales como si estuviera presionando teclas cuando realmente no hago nada, también cuento con algunas teclas de FN las cuales no funcionan en su mayoría, y al igual que con la perilla de control de volumen al presionar la tecla FN+F2 (que es la que corresponde a bajar el volumen) se sube y las demás no hacen nada, quisiera saber si hay solución antes de vender y comprar otro teclado, se que se puede re mapear pero pues no soy usuario experimentado así que no es algo que pueda solucionar solo o con ayuda de Chat GPT, si alguien sabe como puedo solucionar el tema del teclado agradecería porque suelo usar mucho las teclas de FN (actualmente estoy en windows pero no tengo problema en instalar linux para buscar soluciones) si es necesario puedo adjuntar foto del teclado por si sirve de algo

Since i started having really bad performance issues on OBS i switched to GPU screen recorder and absolutely loved it, the only problem is that it doesn't have webcam support implemented. The app does support plugins according to the git page, however i am not smart enough to figure out how to create plugins, nor have i encountered other custom made ones apart from the example one.
So im currently wondering if anyone has made working plugins for GSR, and if so, is it even possible to implement webcam support through the use of plugins?
