Shin Megami Tensei Synchronicity Prologue - It's a free game, how do I get it working on Nvidia drivers on Linux?
Looking for a linux that support my alienware m11x r2 GPU
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to find a relatively modern Linux distribution that still works with the legacy NVIDIA 340xx drivers.
i've tried a bunch of distro (Debian 13, MX Linux, Arch) and neither worked with my gpu

Crimson desert 1.02.00 lowered my fps
Anyone else experiencing lower FPS with newest update of the game? I'm on fedora 44 with Nvidia 595 drivers on a rtx 3080 and Ryzen 5800x, proton experimental bleeding edge, yesterday I had stable 55fps on high/ultra settings rtx on dlss 4.0 quality and today it struggles to hit 50 and averages below 45, 10 FPS is a pretty big hit, as I am also using optiscaler to have frame gen on I am wondering if anyone else is having similar issue.

Strange mouse sensitivity issue in Hunt: Showdown
I have been able to play the game flawlessly for days. I had some strange issues in WoW earlier today related to the camera movements (installed through non-Steam game) and I took help from Claude to try some stuff in-game and through launch options but now Hunt is acting up too with insane camera movement speed and I have no clue from what or how. My cursor behaves completely normal otherwise. I cannot think of any changes made to the system or hardware. I have spent two hours trying all kinds of fixes but to no avail. I have tried looking into config files, deleted the game's compatdata and tried all amnners of launch options. I don't know what might have happened

Indiana Jones is now very playable on my NVIDIA 3070 8GB
I can now play Indiana Jones with medium textures and shadows, hair on low and the rest on ULTRA, 1080p and i can only play in Gaming Mode.
The VRAM management or availability seems better on this mode.
Anyway, these settings are nearly identical to the ones I used on Windows to complete the game.
The only difference is that on windows I used DLSS-AA and here I have to use DLSS-Quality.
But it's getting there.
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3070 8GB.

Best way to make multiple VMs that can utilize a slice of my GPU?
I have a pretty beastly PC running Nobara 43 KDE (Fedora) with an RTX 5070 Ti.
I want to set up some VMs for my kids to use for gaming (streaming Steam games) on their not-great computers until I can get them a proper PC.
I installed and set up VirtualBox before realizing that it cannot utilize my GPU very well.
Are there any virtualization programs that can effectively split my GPU for gaming? Is this even possible?
They don't run anything crazy, just stuff like Among Us, Terraria, House Flipper...etc. Nothing AAA, but I want to give them some extra juice just in case they want to try some things later.

I just wanted to share what I did today
I was testing the capabilities of making custom physical PC games with my GOG games and this was the result with an USB. It contains the GOG games installer, an empty file that acts as a key and a shell script that first finds the USB, then finds the key file, then looks for the game’s executable. If I click the desktop icon and it doesn’t find any of that, it’ll display an error until I pop it in, in other words, I just recreated a physical DRM for my games lol. Of course, the game is installed onto the main drive, its not actually inside the USB, I can always go to the game’s file and run the executable right there.
I just like physical media is all lol

Rocket League white screen
Hello! I have been trying to set up Rocket League on Heroic Launcher. I am running cachyOS and have a laptop nvidia 2060. I am using the discrete GPU over the integrated. I keep running into a white screen upon launch with the same error code in the logs:
err: Presenter: Failed to query present modes: -13
Upon sending some logs and questions into the heroic games discord I was told that they assumed this is faulty Nvidia Optimus behavior and that people more in tune with DXVK would know more. I did artificially lower the screen resolution to 1080 as my laptop screen is 4K and that is just too much for a 2060. I changed Fullscreen=false, ResX=1920, ResY=1080 in ~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Rocket League/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/Rocket League/TAGame/Config/TASystemSettings.ini
Would appreciate any help still fairly new to linux and just trying to learn. Please ask any questions if I did not provide enough information.

DXVK, VKD3D etc.
I've installed the "nvidia-driver" package via my distro package manager but I've noticed that I haven't installed "dxvk", "vkd3d" and "vulkan-tools". How necessary are these packages for gaming? Are these packages also necessary if I use Wine? Wine comes for example with DXVK and VKD3D already.

How to play Black Ops 3 Split Screen across two monitors (Nvidia Surround/Eyefinity-like) on KDE Wayland with NO black borders in the EASIEST way possible.
So while doing a lot of fucking around today, I discovered it is deceptively easy to set up Black Ops 3 on KDE Wayland to work in vertical splitscreen across two monitors
You want to use Proton-GE. You can install it from flatpak
flatpak install runtime/com.valvesoftware.Steam.CompatibilityTool.Proton-GE/x86_64/stable
Set it in your game properties
Set PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 in your launch params. For example, my full launch param for this game:
MANGOHUD=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 MANGOHUD_CONFIG="offset_y=200" WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dsound=n,b" gamemoderun %command%
If you get an error about Windows Media Foundation not being installed, you can use mf-install and run the following command with protontricks
flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks -c "sh ./mf-install.sh" 311210
This worked for me, if you know a better solution, feel free to contribute.
Modify your Call of Duty Black Ops III/players/config.ini and add the following
FullScreenMode = "0" // 0 to 2
WindowX = "0"
WindowY = "-167" // -8192 to 8192
WindowSize = "3840x1382"
Those are the values for two 1080p monitors. Here's the little math you need to do to figure out what to replace these values for.
Your width is exactly the combined with of both of your monitors so here 1920 * 2 = 3840
For your height, multiply it by 1.25. Then add the window title bar size, it's supposed to be 32.
So here 1080 * 1.25 + 32 = 1382
Then for the window position in Y, you want to take half of the added height.
(1080 * 0.25 / 2) + 32 = 167
Launch the game, and enjoy a perfect dual monitor splitscreen setup.
The game should launch in Kwin's fullscreen mode, if it does not, right click on the game on the taskbar and set it to fullscreen.
NOTE: I also tested this with XWayland and it works, but require a few more steps. Plenty of solutions already exist for XOrg/XWayland so I will never cover it. I made it with Wayland so this guide could be future proof.

I'm experiencing a very weird thing
So I have rx 9070 xt paired with ryzen 5 5700x
The thing is that I tested in furmark on both windows and linux, linux won with 220 fps vs 199 on windows using openGL
But when I tested Minecraft which runs with OpenGL, Shaders and voxy with the exact same modpack on both systems, windows 11 was ahead with 160-200 fps while linux is 100-140 fps
Seems like the GPU is consuming only 150w in Minecraft while max is is 304w
Can anyone help cuz I'm really clueless
Latest CachyOS , Minecraft 1.21.11 with voxy and shaders, prism launcher. nothing is flatpak

Latest Steam flatpak requires new permissions
Should I be concerned about what it's asking for now?
System folder mnt
Can read and write all data in the directory
System folder run/udev
Can read all data in the directory
System folder run/media
Can read and write all data in the directory
System folder media
Can read and write all data in the directory
User configuration subfolder MangoHud
Can read all data in the directory
Why does it need blanket /mnt read-write access when it's been fine so far?

Is Using a VM the Only Safe Way to Play Windows Games on Linux?
I've been researching ways to safely play Windows games on Linux, and I've come across a lot of discussions suggesting that using a VM (Virtual Machine) is the only secure method. Many articles point out that tools like Flatpak + Wine or Firejail + Wine do not provide complete security, which is why a VM is often recommended.
However, I'm concerned about the performance loss that comes with running games in a VM. This brings me to my question: Is there a way to securely play Windows games on Linux without the performance hit associated with VMs? I'm interested in hearing about any alternative methods or configurations that might allow for secure gameplay while maintaining good performance. Thanks in advance for your insights!

Doom the Dark Ages running on polaris
I got doom the dark ages running on my rx 470 8gb gpu! I was surprised that it was able to run with these kind of frame rates using fsr balanced. And somepeople say that linux is obsolete for gaming. On windows the gpu would be obsolete for new games. I will try to compare it with my laptops IGPU( 780M).

Linux MX Installer
I've been using Linux MX for about a year. Before, I was running it from a live distro USB thumb drive with persistence. I had no problems installing games/emulators from the MX Package app.
But in early January, my USB drive got corrupted and so I installed it on a hard disk. Now I cannot install most software from the MX Package installer. It errors out with what sounds like a permissions problem. But there does not appear to be any way to open it (at least from the icon in the mountain menu) with Super User privileges.
I installed DOSBOX using package installer some time ago, but now I cannot get anything to install. I wanted to install vice and an Amiga emulator along with mame, but no go.
Do I need to log out and log in as root to make this work? Or is there something else I am just missing? I looked around in the package installer menus for a way to sudo, but nothing obvious stood out to me.
