obs-kmscap is a display server-agnostic zero-copy screen capture plugin for Linux, which works by directly exporting OpenGL textures from the framebuffer using native system calls, in favor of double-copy XSHM capture, which is incredibly slow. Depending on your system, it might be potentially more performant than even Wayland Pipewire capture. The idea started from w23's project, which does something very similar in concept, but hasn't received updates or support in years.

I am currently trying to test the plugin on a larger scale, and I would highly appreciate it if anyone tried it for themselves and gave me feedback. I am also curious about NVIDIA support, as I don't have an NVIDIA graphics card myself, but seeing as newer drivers have better DRM/KMS support (with nvidia-drm.modeset=1 as a kernel boot parameter) it makes me curious.

The project can be found here.

Just a quick report for anyone curious about the day-one performance of nte. I managed to get it running smoothly on EndeavourOS using DW-proton latest.

How I set it up:

• Downloaded the launcher from the official site ( https://nte.perfectworld.com/jp/ )
• Added the installer .exe as a non-Steam game in steam
• Forced DW-Proton-latest in the compatibility settings
• Ran the installation normally, installed the game first before changeing the target and start in, in options then starting it

The Experience: The Unreal Engine 5 visuals look amazing and it's surprisingly stable on Wayland (Niri). Driving through hethereau feels very responsive, and the combat is snappy.

Hello all, I’m hoping that somebody can assist me with these gameplay issues.

Just today I switched over to Linux Mint from windows. The laptop I use is primarily for gaming and while it’s not very high end, I would think it would still be playable.

The problem I’m having can be see in the video. The start up and cinematic at the beginning run just fine, however when the game starts it stutters consistently, even during the start menu.

When I tried Dark Souls 3, it said the frame rate was too low to even play and booted me back to the menu.

I’ve tried some very generic fixes for I didn’t want to delve too much into it. I know essentially nothing about Linux, my burning hatred for Windows pushed me to make drastic decisions.

Here’s my specs.

Computer: Acer Nitro AN515-55 V2.06

OS: Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon

Kernel: 6.17.0-22-Generic

Processor: Intel Core i5-10300H CPU @ 2.50 GHz x 4

Graphics Card: Intel CometLake-H GT2 [UHD]

Graphics Card 2: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile

Memory: 8 GB

Hard drive: 256

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

For context I am using CachyOS with a 7800 XT and Hyprland.

I am running a dual boot setup and wanted to play around a little bit with HDR in Linux.

I was playing Enshrouded and what I noticed is that with HDR on I had around 20 FPS less compared to Windows with AutoHDR

Is that something usual or Just an outlier?

I'm trying to undervolt my GPU, but the offset thing is confusing me. I feel like it would make more sense to just set it to something like 1130 mV directly instead of guessing with an offset. The voltage graph keeps moving around a lot, so I'm not really sure what value it's actually using. My card also runs pretty hot, and I just want to tune it a bit without messing anything up.

So im having some issues with getting 3 specific Hammerwatch games to run. i have all 5, and while 2 worked right out of the box, 3 are giving me the exact same issue.

in the first image you can see what my game looks like. in the second image you can see what my game should look like. The issue is that i can only see the single top row of pixels from the game, and that row of pixels is rendered on the very bottom of the window. i am confidant about that row of pixels being the very top row of pixels from the game. it seems like the entire game is trying to be rendered out of the window. since its kind of hard to play the game by only seeing one line of pixels, i would ideally like to fix this.

context: the Hammerwatch games are installed via steam, and they do not have native linux support. I'm having this issue with the following three steam games: Hammerwatch Anniversary edition, Hammerwatch 2, and Heroes of Hammerwatch. oddly enough, the two games that DO work, are Hammerwatch 1, and Heroes of Hammerwatch 2. the first game and the latest game. i dont think thats particularly relevant, but i find it funny (also it might be helpful idfk)

what i have tried: (i've tried this entire list on every game that isnt working) - forcing the game to launch with every version of proton available in the menu for selecting compatibility tools - running the beta version of the game available on steam. - crying. - copying a settings file from Hammerwatch 1 and manipulating it to try and force the game to launch windowed (not fullscreen) and launch in various resolutions. this worked on all of them, with them being windowed instead of the default fullscreen, and with the windows being the correct size for the resolution i had set. however on every attempt i could only ever see the one row of pixels on the bottom of the window.

what i have not tried: - (successfully) making a deal with god and or the devil. - making a reddit post asking for help (im actually currently working on that)

PS: i have no idea what flair to give this post. it overlaps with both "wine/proton", "steam/steamdeck", and "tech support wanted", so i put it in the broadest/most general catagory out of those three.

Hi guys, I'm new to Linux Gaming and i was wondering about how to properly use Gamescope. How do i optimize Cyberpunk for example or some other games that run poorly on Linux.

Thank y'all in advance 😄

I may just be drunk but every multiplayer game on Steam has a none existent ping from servers on the opposite side of the world. So far Linux multiplayer games suck ass yo. At this point I wanna go back to shitty windows just so I can use the games I paid for. No amount of trouble shooting fixes the ping. Fucking Linux

I installed the Community Enhancement Pack mod for Persona 4 Golden using the Steam Deck instructions even though I'm on Bazzite (only a few paths had to be adjusted). I got it working.

It worked for a day or two, then suddenly I was getting an error message when trying to launch it. I then basically re-installed the entire thing and got it working again.

A few days later (today), same thing occurred with a different error. I once again re-installed it but this time I still couldn't get it working. When launching from Steam I get an error that says "Unable to initialize SteamAPI. Please make sure Steam is running and you are logged into an account entitled to the game". I have no idea why is coming up when I'm literally logged into Steam, launching it from Steam. And I legally own this game.

While troubleshooting, it actually launched normally once...then right after refused to start again. I have no idea why this only works randomly.
