Valheim Crashing frequently

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. November 2025 - 12:31

Afternoon,

I recently switched to Linux Mint and valheim has been crashing consistently.

Investigating the player log I see these consistently

When it crashes it involves a segfault, but theres very little information

I added the flag it mentions to both my steam launch and tried running the game via cmd line with ./valheim,x86_64 but go no additional info.

Any help please?

CachyOS 9070XT and FSR4/Raytracing

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. November 2025 - 12:19

Hi. I decided to take a swing at CachyOS again (I have been on Garuda for years). Here's the problem: On the cyberpunk2077 benchmark, under the same settings, with FSR4 Quality, I get better performance on Windows 11 than on CachyOS. I did follow whatever information I could find to do it (basically pass an environment variable to cachy proton). In terms of settings difference and for added context, my PT game performance on Windows 11 is the same as my linux normal RT Ultra, with FSR4 to quality and FG enabled. Visually, Windows 11 also seems to look better. What could I be doing wrong?

I'll post exact numbers once I'm off work.

Where do you guys usually buy games?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. November 2025 - 11:20

I haven't "game" for years and was really hopping to get some games this week and relax with them during the weekend. Is steam still the best place to get them? I see their sales aren't really that great (like way back in the day) or are there other places with better sales? Thank you

(Looking to buy Death Stranding, MGS Delta, Dead Space remake and maybe one of them new silent hill games)

Should I just switch to windows ?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. November 2025 - 10:39

Lately I have been started to game casually on Arch Linux and I was disappointed every time I wanted to install a game (cracked or not) except maybe steam, maybe because dualsense doesn't work in fitgirl games even with steam input ! And I straight up can't use any wine version be it proton-ge wine-ge except System (10.19) and every time I think maybe I should switch i spend hours and return back to the same state. Maybe I should switch to windows or maybe reinstall linux ? I kinda like the new windows xbox gaming thing but HATE pretty much every update they do really confused and frustrated. Your suggestions are valued !

Red Dead Redemption 1 Takes out Graphics Driver. (RX 9060 XT + Ryzen 5 5500

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. November 2025 - 07:40

Got a weird one, and something that I have not experienced with any other game on steam.

I recently bought RDR 1 on steam, because it was on sale. When I tried to play the game it locked up my system and a couple seconds later everything came back and the game + steam is just closed.

When I say "lock up" i specifically mean this,

The Monitor hangs on a frame, audio persists and I can hear (for example) music in the background still, and after about 10 seconds the system becomes responsive again after Plasma respawns it self and kills steam and RDR 1.

I do have a log, but I am unable to understand exactly whats wrong. The log refers to an "Illegal Instruction" but I do not know what exactly is failing.

Now whats interesting is that I have another copy of the game obtained elsewhere that does work fine. No crashes, even after a lot of time.

System Info:

If you have any specific questions, I will answer.

x360CE alternative that works with ffb wheels

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. November 2025 - 06:14

Used to use x350ce to emulate my wheel as a left stick. I'm getting the impression I'm not going to be able to get it work on linux. Is there any alternative that has the same functionality of a tunable emulation of controller inputs. Steaminput doesn't even register the button inputs from my wheel and oversteer is installed and working. I have no idea what to look in next only thing I've been able to find is another person with the same issue and no help.

How to make sure I've set things up properly?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. November 2025 - 05:54

https://gist.github.com/ImDevinC/147cb45c8c1e449bebbf3f65afb1ebfe

I've read through the FAQs, both here and for Arch specific, and I think I've set everything up properly. But for some games I just terrible results and I'm not sure if it's because the game is poorly optimize (like Monster Hunter Wilds) or because I've misconfigured something. In the gist above, I have logs for neofetch, vulkaninfo, glxinfo, inxi, and the mango hud summary for Borderlands 4 (71FPS avg), Monster Hunter Wilds (64FPS AVG, with massive spikes of freezing), ARC Raiders (70FPS avg), and Sea of Thieves (161FPS average).

I feel like all of these I should get better FPS than what I am on an NVIDIA 4070 Ti (especially with Monster Hunter Wilds freezing very frequently). Is there any way to validate that my settings are configured in a way which they should be for optimal gameplay performance?
