Discrete [nvidia...] gpu doesn't seems to work on steam

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. April 2026 - 22:51

Hello, the last 2weeks i started to encountered issues with my steam games, starting to launch a game would result on a black screen (with still background sound/music).

At that time the only way i tempory found to "fix" it was to forced Wine with :

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

because all the other commands doesn't seems to do much and by other command i mean things like :

__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia %command%

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia %command%

prime-run %command%

and surely other one but i forgot them.

My computer's spec are :

Since then i updated my driver and the black screen issue is nowhere now :) but the performance seems to be the same as with wine (except it's without theorically )

Otherwise, i already check different proton version and it didn't make any differences :')

and here also a screenshot of my nvidia driver (in hope it's usefull )

Can't get audio working for Deltarune on Ubuntu

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. April 2026 - 20:37

I just recently installed my Linux for the first time onto my MSI Crosshair 18. I tried launching Deltarune. I previously had a Deltarune save file so I said okay to loading into chapter 4. It played the sound effect for that (Although after trying something it stopped that from happening even after being reversed!) And after that no sound plays from Deltarune or anywhere else.

This issue was similar to something that happened to me with Terraria and the fix was to add this to the launch options: SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa %command%

However when I tried that in Deltarune, no sound played and even after getting rid of that from the launch options I still don't hear the sound for selecting chapter 4.

(Also please explain things like I'm five because I literally have been using Linux for about a week lol)

I'd be glad to provide more details and will add them as edits.

1080x1080 resolution on CS2

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. April 2026 - 20:32

Hi everyone! I switched to Linux Mint 22.3 about two weeks ago and I'm trying to set a custom resolution for CS2. On Windows, I used the NVIDIA Control Panel to do this, but I can't find a way to do it here. Does anyone know how to set custom resolutions on Linux? Thanks for the help!

I’m a total Linux noob, but I wanted a cool way to back up my prefix folders - so I built my first "app" - WarpVault (v3.0) to automate game prefix backups!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. April 2026 - 19:41

Hi everyone,

I recently made the jump to Linux (Bazzite to Mint to CachyOS) and, like many newcomers, I’ve been obsessed with getting my gaming setup just right. One thing that kept stressing me out was managing game prefixes and making sure my saves/configs were safe before I started tinkering with Wine/Proton settings.

I realized I needed a way to quickly "freeze" a game's state, so I decided to stop lurking and actually build something.

What is WarpVault? It’s a Python-based utility (built with PySide6) designed to automate and manage compressed backups of your game prefixes.

Key Features:

  • One-Click Backups: Quickly compress and archive prefixes before you try a new Proton GE version or a risky mod.
  • GUI-First Design: I built this to be easy to use with a proper interface, rather than just running scripts in the terminal.
  • Automation: It handles the compression and organization so you don't have to manually hunt through your compatdata folders every time.

The "Noob" Disclaimer: This is my first real project and my first time sharing anything like this on Reddit. I’m still learning the ropes of Linux gaming and Python development, so the code might not be "pro" level yet, but it’s been a lifesaver for my own library.

I’d love to hear what you guys think, or if there are any features you think a tool like this is missing. If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears!

Anvil Organizer — a native Linux mod manager inspired by MO2 (no Wine needed)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. April 2026 - 19:24

Hey everyone,

I've been building a native Linux mod manager called Anvil Organizer. It's inspired by Mod Organizer 2 but built from scratch in Python/Qt6 — no Wine, no Proton wrapper.

What it does:

- Symlink-based deploy — your game folder stays clean

- 35+ supported games (Skyrim, Fallout 4, Cyberpunk 2077, BG3, Elden Ring, Starfield...)

- NexusMods integration with one-click downloads (nxm:// handler)

- FOMOD installer support

- LOOT integration for load order

- Mod conflict detection with visual highlighting

- Profiles & separators for organizing your mod list

- Automatic framework detection (Script Extender, ASI Loader, CET...)

- F4SE/SFSE/SKSE64 Proton shims — no manual DLL copying

- REDmod deploy for Cyberpunk 2077

- Native script merger (no Windows tool needed)

- 7 languages

- Works on Steam Deck

Switching from Windows? Anvil includes a built-in migration tool called GoodbyeWindows / HelloLinux — it imports your existing MO2 mod setup so you don't have to start from

scratch.

Easy Anti-Cheat - Failed to find process

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. April 2026 - 19:09

Hello everyone. I recently built a new computer and decided to switch to Linux and see how that fared for me. I'm using CachyOS. I only have a few games installed and they were working great yesterday. Today, The Outlast Trials threw an easy anti-cheat error saying that it couldn't find the process. I'm new to Linux in general and am having a hard time tracking this down. Here is some pertinent info from what I remember.

I did run a system update this morning. I suspect that may have been part of it but I'm not certain. It looks like I'm running kernel version 6.19.11-1-cachyOS. I think yesterday I was on 6.19.10-x.

For this game I verified file integrity as well as uninstalled and reinstalled it.

I think Steam is defaulting to Proton Experimental. For this game specifically I did try CachyOS's implementation as well as Proton 9.05(?). I also tried Proton Hotfix

I found that there was a Proton EAC package in Steam so I downloaded and installed that.

My Steam games are installed on a separate drive. It does appear to be mounted correctly. I did unmount and remount it.

Restarted my computer as well as shutdown completely.Resident evil 4 and Cyberpunk 2077 still work. I'm aware that they may not use EAC, but at least it's good to know not everything is broken.

ptrace_scope has a value of 1. I heard that different values can negatively affect things like EAC.

The game is listed as Platinum in the ProtonDB. And it did work yesterday.

That's everything I can remember. I don't have much experience with Linux troubleshooting so hopefully this is enough to get started. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to resolve the error?
