Anyone else having an issue with playing CS2? It has technically been rock solid for six months, no crashes, but recently I have been more and more plagued by what I would call micro stuttering. It happens especially when jiggle peeking on a corner, but it will also often happen when an opponent starts shooting, so I better hope I shoot first or I will lose 1/10 duels just because of this stuttering.

Running on Arch Linux with AMD 9070 XT + 7700X @ 1440p because that is my native monitor resolution and switching is kind of a pain for alt+tab.

What is weird is that FPS graph and frame timing graph is nearly always completely flat at 165FPS, so this stutter normally does not show on the frame pacing graph. I have tried all sorts of things. Lately been experimenting with the new CPU scheduler sched_ext LAVD that valve made for steam deck, to no avail.

Anyone else has this issue?

Yo guys, need some help here. I'm on CachyOS and Wuthering Waves has been a total pain since I switched from COSMIC to KDE Plasma. It was working perfectly before (not that perfect tbh but its still running tho), but now it's just a "crash loop".

My Specs:

• OS: CachyOS (KDE Plasma, Wayland)
• CPU: Intel i5-13400
• GPU: Intel Arc B580
• Kernel: CachyOS latest

What I've done so far:

• Steam Native: Already tried adding as non-steam game with Proton-CachyOS (v3 build).
• Launch Options: Used STEAMOS=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ace_loader=n,b" %command%.
• Cleaned everything: Nuked compatdata, reinstalled Steam native, and made sure cachyos-gaming-meta is there.
• Tried installing wuthering-waves-launcher via paru, but it failed with some linker error ld returned 1 exit status.
• Tried downloading Proton via ProtonPlus but it's stuck at 200KB/s lol, so I did a manual extract to compatibilitytools.d.

Every time I click Play, the "ProtonFixes" window pops up for a split second, then the game just dies. No error, no logs, just straight back to desktop.

Is KDE Wayland messing with the ACE Anti-cheat? Or did I miss some specific library after moving from COSMIC? Damn this thing give me lot of headache bruh cuz its my first time with linux hehe.

Hi! I just recently switched from RX 7800 XT to 9070 XT, Sapphire nitro+ that is. I've been testing different games, settings, RT and FSR Redstone at 1440p on Arch.

I've tested Oblivion Remastered a few days ago and played it a bit yesterday. It works great on FSR 4 native AA with some tweaked high/ultra-ish settings but hardware RT performance on anything other than low was really bad, even low with FSR balanced had big hiccups and framerate drops near water, etc.

And here comes the fun part. I just compiled the freshest AUR package for mesa-git, haven't updated in a bit. To my surprise, hardware RT in Oblivion now not only performs better but it kinda feels out-of-spec for this card. What am I talking about? I'm getting stable framerates at FSR native AA on hardware Lumen ultra! There's no performance hit between low and ultra and the difference between software and hardware seems so small. I set FSR to balanced and I'm at around 80 fps, sometimes drops to around 60-70 and there are of course some unavoidable UE5 stutters. I'm playing with HDR enabled through wine-wayland and using the newest Proton-GE.

This feels so bizzare and I'm wondering what magic the devs have done with the driver that it handles RT pretty much like it's nothing. I haven't tested other games but if it's a global improvement then it was the best GPU upgrade ever.

Verify which DLSS preset you are using, particularly when employing a DLSS updater. Note that the presets in question are not the standard 'Quality', 'Balanced', etc., but are instead labelled as Preset K, Preset M, and so forth.

Preset K is generally suitable for all scenarios. However, should you be using Preset L or M, be aware that these were specifically designed for Ultra Performance and Performance modes on RTX 4000 and RTX 5000 series GPUs. If you are using a different graphics card or a different DLSS mode, these presets can cause a significant reduction in FPS.

To identify your current preset, add PROTON_DLSS_INDICATOR=1 to your launch options and start the game. You may need to load into the actual gameplay to see the on-screen indicator. If the indicator appears blurry, navigate to your in-game settings and disable effects such as motion blur and film grain. As the indicator is injected early in the rendering pipeline, it is affected by full-screen shader effects. Adding PROTON_DLSS_INDICATOR=0 will disable the indicator.

The temps of my CPU and GPU while playing it do not go over 60C. Other games work fine, for example I played Hogwarts Legacy for a few hours and nothing happened. I Use Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS. Any ideas?

I wanted to know if anyone has had any success on installing apps alongside their game and have it running successfully for their intended purposes.

I am looking to install SIM Dashboard for some of my Sim games such as X-Plane 12 and Assetto Corsa but I don't know how to go about it and was hoping the community can help me out.

If you have been successful at installing WeMod or trainers or something that collects data or mods the game you have launched through Steam, how did you go about doing it?

My copy of X-plane 12 was bought on Steam and it is located in ./steamapps/common/X-Plane 12.

I have thought about installing the Sim Dashboard app using Heroic Launcher, but will it work if I place the app in that folder?

I have thought maybe it won't work since it will generate a wine bottle inside that folder and I should install it inside the X-plane 12 prefix at .steamapps/compatdata/2014780/pfx/drive_c but, there is no .exe of X-plane in there, the Sim Dashboard won't collect any data to transmit right?

Basically I have no idea of what to do, maybe I also have no idea of what I am doing but would appreciate any help or guide on how to go about this.

Yeah, i think i solved the problem with xboxdrv, I'll get straight to the point.

At first,

sudo apt install xboxdrv

sudo apt install evtest

That's all you need, evtest and xboxdrv.

Next,

Plug your PXN V900 into your PC and type evtest to the Terminal

https://preview.redd.it/ac3urrvoyrdg1.png?width=497&format=png&auto=webp&s=ba0f908abd4d8d824e2b8e3c9f3cb72f7aa3087c

You will see your device listed as PXN V900. Look at the /dev/input/event number, for me it was 20 on me, it may be different on your PC.

You can quit with CTRL+C, you don't need it anymore.

Next,

sudo xboxdrv --evdev /dev/input/eventX --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_RX=x2,ABS_RY=y2,ABS_Z=lt,ABS_RZ=rt,ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y --evdev-keymap BTN_SOUTH=a,BTN_NORTH=y,BTN_WEST=x,BTN_EAST=b,BTN_TL=lb,BTN_TR=rb,BTN_SELECT=back,BTN_START=start

Type this command to your terminal and replace eventX with your device number, like event20

Press Enter and type your password

If you see this output text, it means it's working. Wait 1 or 2 minute and press some buttons on your steering wheel while waiting.

https://preview.redd.it/zgd8g1vkzrdg1.png?width=638&format=png&auto=webp&s=109556911c9868d1a77af4e0dd7427e5776bd9a2

If you see some changing values like this, you can play your game without any problem now :) You have to do it again if you unplug the steering wheel, just look at your event number with evtest and copy-paste the command (don't forget to change the eventX)

It is my first post, sorry if i made any mistakes.

Hey everyone! I am a linux newbie that could use a little advice about running FF7R. It is currently listed as silver on protondb, and when I look around the web, people tend to be split right down the middle on playablility. Half of the users say that the game is totally fine and they are playing on 4k, max settings, 9 billion fps. While the other half say that the game is a train wreck and literally unplayable. A lot of those comments are from 9 months to a year ago, so is anyone having success currently? I hope to play on 60fps 1080p with an AMD card and protonGE without the stuttering and crashing that some players report. Does that sound like something that would be doable with this game at this point?

Dear Krafton and PUBG Corp,

I hope this message finds you well. As a passionate member of the gaming community, I feel compelled to reach out and express the growing frustration many of us are experiencing.

Since Valve launched the Steam Deck, we've seen such amazing potential for Linux gaming through Proton. BattlEye, the anti-cheat system you utilize, has had official support for Linux/Proton for quite some time now. Valve has clearly stated that enabling this support is simply a matter of communication—just an email or a quick toggle in the developer portal is all it takes.

So, why does PUBG remain inaccessible for Linux gamers?

Games like Apex Legends, DayZ, and The Finals have already embraced this support and welcomed a new wave of players. Unfortunately, those of us on Linux looking to enjoy PUBG are left with a tough choice: maintain a Windows partition just for this game or walk away from what we love.

We’re not asking for a fully native Linux version or special treatment. We are simply asking you to:

1. Recognize the Steam Deck and its growing community of Linux users.
2. “Flip the switch” to enable BattlEye on Proton.

The technology is there. The anti-cheat is primed and ready. The operating system is capable. What’s holding us back is the choice to overlook a vibrant segment of the PC gaming market.

Please reconsider. We shouldn’t have to choose between our preferred OS and enjoying your game. Let’s make this happen—enable the support!

Linux

Windows

Does anyone know why the graphics in Wuchang are so grainy/pixelated when running under proton? I've tried it on Windows and while moving the camera the hair looks good and there's no "grainy" effect on nearby textures, while on Linux it looks horrible..

I don't know how to make it look the same as it does under Windows, I've tried Proton-GE, EM and Cachy's version and there's no difference. The graphics settings are identical. No AMD sharpening on Windows or FSR upgrade from Adrenaline.

Operating System: Arch Linux

KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5

Kernel Version: 6.18.5-arch1-1 (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 10 × Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 225F

Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.1 GiB usable)

Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT

I made a post recently asking for help with a periodic repeated slowdown while playing Elden Ring. There was a lot of good advice, and this didn't seem to be an issue when running under Wayland, but for anyone else experiencing the issue and clinging onto X11 I thought I'd share the culprit and very simple fix:

If you've got Steam Background Recording on it will show this little preview of your session on the games library page, and if you've been playing for long enough it will cycle through different thumbnails. When it does this, it caused the very regular slowdown I experienced. The fix is to simply close the Post-Game Summary, or go to a different page that doesn't have it.

There's probably other things that can cause it for the same reason, but I can happily stream HD video in a web browser on the other monitor, so this might be a special case.

Hopefully if someone else is having the issue they see this and it helps them.

EDIT: I went to report it and there's already a year old report for it. Unfortunately it didn't come up in my searches,

Hi,

As title. In windows many games force disable vsync when frame gen is enabled requiring the user to force enable vsync in nvcp to resolve the screen tearing (I've never understood this, why would anyone want to play with tearing so I have no idea why games do this)

It seems similar in linux. I enable frame gen and then I get screen tearing as the game disables vsync. I've tried a few steam launch commands that claim to force some sort of vsync or similar but I can't say I've found any of them to be particularly smooth. Is there some sort of best practice combo of launch options to get the best experience with nvidia frame gen? Couldn't see this addressed in the CachyOS wiki.

Thanks!
