I'm running on CachyOS with all the current updates.

Basic system specs: AMD 7700X, 9070 XT, 32 GB DDR5-6000

I've logged about 20-30 minutes of playtime, but so far there are no apparent bugs. Previously, I was able to launch the game and navigate through the various menus, but it would crash while loading a race weekend. This was the case for many people.

I can't comment on racing wheel/pedal functionality, though. At the moment, all I have is a PS5 controller, which kinda sucks for these types driving sims.

From what I understand, the LMU-specific Proton tweaks that build on Proton10-34 have fixed the crashing issues with this game. The LMU-specific Proton version appears be required, however, as regular Proton10-34 lead to crashes while loading. YMMV for other distros and system configurations.

Minimal tweaks required:

1) Download GE-Proton10-34-LMU-hid_fixes and extract to ~/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/

This package was just released yesterday.

2) Select the custom Proton version in the game properties within Steam.

3) Enter the following into the game launch options within Steam:

RADV_DEBUG=nodcc,nohiz gamemoderun %command%

Happy gaming!

EDIT: I didn't think to try the game without the launch options. It appears to be working without them. I left them above with strikethrough in case anyone has other random issues an wants to try using the launch options anyway.

OptiScaler is probably one of the most interesting open source tools around, allowing you to upgrade and mix various tech together in lots of games.

Short story, never had an issue with steam PoE, then one day i left it opened while i took a nap and when i woke up i noticed the game closed itself, i reopened it and since then every time i select a character it silently crashes.

I can't even name all the potential fixes i've tried, from downgrading meta-gaming package v26 to v25, to removing fonts and reinstalling,

Tried Proton Hotfix, Experimental, GE-v10, GE-v9, tried a bunch of launch options...

Tried Vulkan, DX12 and DX11...

Tried uninstalling and installing PoE again...

Nothing worked and still crashes, the PROTON_LOG shows a bunch of errors regarding fonts "err:font:alloc_font_handle out of realized font handles"

Please, kindly find my STEAM-238960.log PROTON LOG here

Losing my mind at this very moment because it runs so smoothly in CachyOS compared to W11 and i just want to fix this :(

I've decided to start testing/playing/reviewing game mods in Linux. It's been over 10 years and hundreds of games... I'm starting to run out of games to test in Linux.
I know there are already mod videos for games like:

Half-Life 2
Unreal Tournament 3
Doom 3
Portal
STALKER
Fallout 4
Amnesia

So I'm going to start with those huge classic AAA games and test them in Linux.
Sometimes the mods are only developed for Windows versions of the game and only tested in Windows. It will be...

Hi,
I m playing indie games on steam, especiallly japanese shmups and most of them are just 720p / window mode.
titles like Caladrius Blaze for example, but many other japanese indie games are 720p windows only. :( Don t they have 1080p/1440p/4K in Japan?

Is there a way on linux to force the game to launch on full screen and upscale it at 1080p or higher resolutions?

I also have LSFG-vk installed but on linux it just can do framegen if I'm not mistaken.

I have this problem on both Bazzite and cachy os. I guess the correct question is how to upscale games on linux?

Been using Ubuntu for almost 10 years now, but out curiosity switched to fedora 43 kde plasma yesterday but having difficult time setting it up for gaming. Used to get 60ish fps in Ubuntu but on fedora same falls to 5-6 fps and very high frametime. Steam games works fine thou but heroic is causing the problem. I debug the situation my self and concluded that it is probelm with game using integrated gpu instead of dedicated nvidia gpu. Help me out I can provide logs just say..

Hello everyone!

After a whole year on CachyOS on a full AMD system I got the chance to upgrade to a RTX 5080 thanks to a very generous friend of mine, thankfully Cachy handled the chance with no issues whatsoever but I still have some questions that people more knowledgeable than me will certainly have.

1) nvidia-opem & nvidia-opem-dkms. what's the difference? what are the benefits of one in respect with the other?

2) Is it better to stay on a stable kernel (6.19-2) or stay on the release candidates? I'm currently on the 7.0-5rc but I also have the stable one ready on the go.

3)NVIDIA app/DLSS Upgrader/DLSS swapper/Optiscaler. I bet that NVIDIA will never give a native NVIDIA app for Linux which is unfortunate but what can you do? so my question is simple: which is the better alternative? DLSS Upgrader or DLSS swapper or stick to Optiscaler? Or do I just throw these away in favour of launch options via steam?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to run a non-Steam version of Among Us (EXE) on Linux. I added the game to Steam as a "Non-Steam Game" and I'm currently using Proton Experimental to launch it.

The Issue:

The game starts fine and shows the initial logo, but right after the logo disappears, it gets stuck on a permanent black screen and doesn't enter the game.

I'm attaching a screenshot showing my setup and the Proton version I'm using.

Does anyone know why it's hanging on a black screen right after the logo for this standalone version? Any help is appreciated!

I definitely miss collecting boxes for all my games, it's a real missed feeling in the digital age and BOXROOM leans into that letting you build a game room.

Can someone please tell me why am i getting limited connectivity on Ethernet connection in Linux?

So far I've use cashyos, bazzite, fedora, nabora... They all give the same issue... I just lose Internet & i have to reboot to get it working again. I've tried restarting / network manager & I tried installing a broadcom driver & blacklisted the ones that came with the distro but issue still persist... I wonder if the cable is bad but when i boot into my win11 network is fine & has been for months. So why is Linux doing this to me?

I've been troubleshooting a few days now because the way how Linux makes my laptop feel like it's ahead if it's time... I can't go back to windows.

I haven't tried debian based distros like popos & mint so I'll update this post with my results.

But so far i am heartbroken. I really want this network thing working & cashyos is so snappy I'd love to get the LAN working on arch. The WiFi does work but only the 2.4g band ; 5g doesn't want to connect.

Anybody familiar with this issue & can recommend a fix? I'm using a stock MSI GF63-8RC from 2018; only upgraded the SSD.
