Does anyone play Hunt Showdown? What do you use for audio, Cryspatial or 7.1 Surround?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. April 2026 - 23:46

I'm on Ubuntu 24.04, and hunt runs great through Steam/proton, however I can't hear as well as my teammates can and I'm unsure if it's Cryspatial or if I should install a 7.1 Surround to emulate it in my Razer Kraken V3 X headset. I've looked up configuring Hesuvi through Pipewire and plugging in a surround sound preset from the HTRF database on Airtable but I don't know if that would work on games running through Steam with Proton or not. I'm kind of afraid to bork my system up, I've only been on Linux for the last year or so.

Thanks guys!

okay HDR in Linux Help me please. I should have everything in order now ?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. April 2026 - 23:22

Hi

So this is a longer post.

I have tried and tried to get HDR in Linux in order without success, or maybe it works, I don't know anymore

First when I bought my screen and build my PC, they said wait for the new mesa driver, when the mesa drivers came out, they said wait for the new drivers to go into Steam somehow, then wait for the new proton, then wait for the proton to enable HDR, then wait for some compositor in KDE,then wait for the new Valve/AMD HDR api color pipeline, then wait for the new Linux kernel to get it merged, then I need to change to KDE instead of Gnome

BUT NOW EVERYTHING SHOULD BE ALIGNED....... or not ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My System:

Operating System: Fedora Linux 44

KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.4

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.25.0

Qt Version: 6.10.3

Kernel Version: 6.19.14-300.fc44.x86_64 (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor

Memory: 64 GiB of RAM (60,5 GiB usable)

Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

Graphics Processor 2: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor

Manufacturer: ASUS

Mesa Newest driver (long past the required 25 something)

ProtonGE 10-34 newest release

Steam Flatpack (people said that this should contain the newer mesa driver or something and it does)

Monitor: BenQ EX321UX, HDR1000 over DisplayPort 2.1

Steam Launch commands:

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I enable HDR in KDE options I calibrate the screen as pr what the AI says of info found in places like reddit

I can see that HDR is enabled by also opening the screen settings on the screen itself and it will confirm to me that YES HDR is working.

Now when I Launch Diablo 4 with the launch commands already mentioned, and I put on HDR in the D4 settings, all colors becomes much brighter and washed out, really really ugly.

OK tsothat must me this game

I try to do the same in Resident Evil 4

Other than the pause menu, that becomes brighter. I cannot see any changes in game

Ok another game

Dead Space remake.

I put on HDR and the change is not better, it is almost reverse than what happens in Diablo 4, everything becomes slightly darker, and the contrast colors from the game without HDR disappears, so bright light is not as bright

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now after all this time waiting for all the tech I was told that needs to be here, can anybody tell me what am I missing to finally makes this work ?

is it the games that have bad implementation, because I though that games like this, with a lot of dark and shadows would be perfect for HDR ?

So what do I need to do and what games do I need to put on to make this work ?

are there any people here that have made HDR work with a similar setup as mine ?

Elden Ring Seamless co-op timeout error

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. April 2026 - 23:14

For the life of me I cannot figure this out. I have run the 'chmod' command to make sure it's executable, I have reinstalled both the game and the mod files, I confirmed they are in the right file path. 'Target' and 'Start in' file paths are correct(comparing side by side with a working machine), No updates required. All I can figure is that it's a timeout error, I think. Running 'sudo %command%' makes it crash before it even starts up. Deleted prefix folder and let it remake the file. I am at a loss.

ersc ver.: 1.9.9
OS: Bazzite

Followed installation instructions as listed in the installation guide.

NVIDIA on Linux is a complete scam: My RTX 5050 experience has been a nightmare."

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. April 2026 - 22:22
  • A different driver for every game: It’s ridiculous. I’ve reached a point where Game A works on one driver version, but Game B requires a specific Vulkan extension only available in a beta branch or a newer stable release that breaks Game A. You spend more time managing DKMS and blacklisting modules than actually playing.
  • The "Out of the Box" Lie: I tested this on Debian (my daily driver) and even tried Pop!_OS thinking the "NVIDIA Edition" would save me. Same results. Stuttering, screen tearing in Wayland, and X11 feels like technology from the stone age.
  • AMD vs. NVIDIA Support: I also have an RX 6500XT. Yes, the hardware is limited and weak, but at least it works. The open-source amdgpu driver is miles ahead in terms of system integration. With NVIDIA, you are at the mercy of a binary blob that doesn't care about your kernel.
  • Wasted Investment: How is it possible that a 20,000 PHP card feels like a paperweight because of software? In Windows, it's fine, but if you value your freedom and use Linux, NVIDIA feels like a hostile environment.

I’m selling everything and moving back to a high-end AMD card. I don't care about DLSS or Ray Tracing if I can't even launch my library without a kernel panic or a driver mismatch.

NVIDIA on Linux is not a feature, it’s a full-time job.

[RESOLVE] Screen Glitch from my previous post

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. April 2026 - 21:49

My setup:

HP Omen laptop

Intel i7 11th gen (Tiger Lake)

RTX 3070 Mobile

Arch Linux kernel 7.0.2

KDE Plasma 6.6.4 / KWin Wayland

The Problem:

Every game would glitch/corrupt on the internal laptop screen when going fullscreen or borderless windowed. External monitor worked fine. Going back to windowed mode stopped the glitch instantly.

Root Cause:

Two things combined to cause this:

The internal eDP display on hybrid Intel/NVIDIA laptops is physically wired to the Intel iGPU, creating a handoff between GPUs on fullscreen scanout

KDE's Adaptive Sync (VRR) set to Automatic at 144Hz was causing NVIDIA to fail the display pipeline on Wayland

The Fix:

Go to System Settings → Display & Monitor → Display Configuration and:

Set Refresh Rate to 144Hz (or whatever your panel's max is)

Set Adaptive Sync from Automatic → Never

Click Apply

That's it. No reboot needed.

Optional: Clean up kernel parameters

If you tried other fixes along the way, make sure your /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT only has:

Code

```

loglevel=3 quiet nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia-drm.fbdev=1

```

code

```

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

sudo mkinitcpio -P

sudo reboot

```

Tested on Arch Linux, KDE Plasma 6.6.4, NVIDIA driver 595.71.05

Hope this helps someone else, took a while to track down! 🎮

Wuthering Waves crash to desktop bug after latest update

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. April 2026 - 21:24

TL;DR: ray tracing is broken again, delete Engine & GameUserSettings .ini files in WindowsNoEditor.

Hi all. I wasn't sure what to make the flair.

As of yesterday, the latest Wuthering Waves update broke some elements on Linux. Previously there was a ray tracing issue caused by bad nvidia drivers that could be fixed by downgrading. That bug seems to have returned, although I suspect it's on Kuro's side this time.

Fix is simple.

  • First, make sure you're on the latest version of GE Proton (as of writing, 10-34).
  • Go to ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Wuthering Waves/ (or wherever you have the game files installed)
  • Delete GameUserSettings.ini and Engine.ini
  • Relaunch the game, it will recreate said files.
  • Note: it will also remove your other custom graphics settings. You'll need to fix that, but just don't turn on ray tracing yet as it will crash the game.

Hope this is okay to post.

I want to switch to SteamOS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. April 2026 - 21:06

Hello guys.
I want to install SteamOS on my gaming PC.
Bazzite is currently installed on my PC and I also use the gaming mode on a TV via HDMI. With the upcoming Steam Controller, I would like to make the switch to SteamOS as previously planned.

In my PC is the following hardware

•Ryzen 7 5700X3D

•ASUS PRIME RX 9070 OC 16Gb

•32GB G.Skill RipJaws V DDR4-3200 (Dual)

•Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite V2

•TCL 65C7K 65" 2160p@144hz (1080p@288hz), HDR10+, Dolby Vision IQ, QD-mini-LED, 2600nits with 1000 dimming zones

•Be Quiet! Pure Rock 2 (Black)

•Be Quiet Pure Power 11 FM 750 Watt

•Corsair 4000D Airflow

•M2 NVMe Samsung 990 Pro 2TB with Heatsink

•M2 NVMe Samsung 980 1TB

Should I still wait for the official SteamOS or does the current SteamOS also work? If someone has had a good experience with it, I would change today and this will be my very last time that I will change the Linux Gaming Distro.

I have a problem with fedora.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. April 2026 - 20:57

I'm using fedora 44 kde and when I try to launch to elden ring it starts loading freezes at 80% and stops responding. I tried everything but I got as far as screen starting to dim and it freezes and stops responding. But on my steamdeck with bazzite it works perfectly using proton experimental. It also worked on first launch but when I tried telepoting it run into this issue and that's it. I tried launching on plasma x11, I tried proton ge, I tried everything and issue is still there.

[AMD] Guild Wars 2 - Random lines on textures

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. April 2026 - 20:51

Hey! Random lines appear on random textures around the world

https://preview.redd.it/7p1ddhfbjdyg1.png?width=1838&format=png&auto=webp&s=748b2132c4203a9102a66859724853f0d6af3a36

Steam commandline: MANGOHUD=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 DXVK_FRAME_RATE=120 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 ENABLE_LAYER_MESA_ANTI_LAG=1 WAYLANDDRV_PRIMARY_MONITOR=DP-2 %command% -provider Portal

DXVK.conf file:

dxvk.tearFree = Auto
dxvk.numCompilerThreads = 0
dxvk.useRawSsbo = True
dxvk.enableGraphicsPipelineLibrary = Auto
dxvk.enableMemoryDefrag = Auto

My specs:

  • CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
  • GPU: AMD Radeon 9070 XT
  • RAM: 6000MT/s 2x16GB CL30
  • OS: Nobara Linux 43 (Kernel 6.19.11-201.nobara), latest Mesa Drivers, running on Proton GE10-34

None of these command lines above did anything, all proton versions I've tried (Many Proton GE versions, Proton Hotfix, Experimental, Proton CachyOS) didn't change anything too.

Has anyone managed to find a fix?

Soldier of Fortune games on Steam Deck: How well do they run?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. April 2026 - 20:49

I'm primarily a Steam user and currently don't own any games from GOG. I recently discovered the SoF games are only available on GOG and am really interested in trying out the heroic launcher on my Steam deck to play them. The first two games, not the dog-water third game.

To anyone that has played those games via Heroic: how well do they run? What kind of set up is required?

Hey improved my Bazzite (Reposted)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. April 2026 - 20:47

I've been making a few optimizations to my laptop with Bazzite. When I started, I had in mind something like “Void” Linux, which has a pretty fast and efficient boot time. Of course, knowing that Bazzite uses an immutable system, I tried to adapt this idea as much as possible. I achieved the results you see in the image, and on top of that, my laptop is running at a surprising 20 degrees Celsius with several applications open at once. This is definitely something anyone using medium or heavy distributions should do, It significantly improves the user experience and, on laptops, enhances all aspects of performance. How often do you do what I just did?

Comands:
ujust clean-system
flatpak uninstall --unused -y
sudo systemctl mask NetworkManager-wait-online.service
sudo systemctl disable --now thermald.service
rm -rf ~/.cache/*
ujust configure-battery-threshold
echo 'vm.swappiness=10' | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/99-swappiness.conf

Graphic issues

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. April 2026 - 18:58

For some time I was playing Arma Reforger without any problems on my base Ubuntu. Yesterday I've switched to Bazzite to test it out and then this happened. That black triangle never disapears; I can change any graphic settings, try different proton via Steam, lower FPS... Does anyone else has this problem on Linux?
