Need help setting up Quest 2 VR on CachyOS using ALVR

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Dezember 2025 - 19:01

I got as far as connecting my Quest 2 to my PC over Wi-Fi with ALVR but I get nothing but a jumbled mess on my headset and I have no idea where to go from here.

I'm not sure what kind of information you need but my specs are as follows.
CPU: Ryzen 9 7900X3D

RAM: 32GB DDR5
GPU: RX 9070 XT

As mentioned I'm using CachyOS. Any help fixing this would be highly appreciated.

Proton and 2nd Hard/Solid-State Disk Drive Issues.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Dezember 2025 - 18:16

So I installed the greatest Total War game of all time (Shogun 2 by the way) on the most greatest Linux distro of all time (Mint by the way). Cool story right?

Well, whenever I install Shogun 2 on a drive that isn't the same as the one my main operating system and steam itself are located on, it no longer "just works." This is despite spending hours to ensure the 2nd drive is properly partitioned, formatted to ext4, let alone having steam actually recognize it as a mounted disk drive with a directory I've assigned that Steam can recognize and download/install games to.

My best guess is because Proton and Steam are located on the main drive my OS is on, Proton can't even see any game installed on the 2nd drive. I confirmed it with:

protontricks -l

The games installed on my 2nd drive don't even list whereas the ones on the main drive do when I run this command via terminal.

I'm curious if anyone else has had this problem and found a solution to get Proton to recognize and run games from any additional disk drives they may have.

Otherwise, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Debian full screen game issues

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Dezember 2025 - 18:02

im running debian 13 gnome and am having a problem when running full sreen games, i have 3 moniters and if i launch the games with all moniters enabled the games will lantch but the mouse dose not line up with the buttons or the game resolotion is wrong or it detects the right resolotion but the game is distorted and squashed in the center of the screen, however if i disbale 2 moniters the game lunches fine, i am running a AMD GPU.

i have tried to lantch portal 2 and it sees the resolotion of 11520x2160 witch is the resolotion shown when i run xrandr under "screen 0" so i think the games are seeing that resolotion not the resolotion of my monitors.

any suggestions

Issues with AVMATRIX Driver on newer Kernels

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Dezember 2025 - 17:29

Hey all,

I am a bit of a noob when it comes to troubleshooting on Linux. I have an AVMATRIX VC12 4K capture card and it has been working beautifully on Linux for months now using this driver. However, after kernel version 6.17.8 and any newer kernel version the driver will still run and I can pull audio using OBS, but the device no longer shows up as an option when trying to pull video from it in OBS.

I'm not necessarily needing someone to hold my hand, just looking for ways to troubleshoot this issue so I can assist with getting this driver working again.

Thanks!

Multi-player games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Dezember 2025 - 17:03

Hi everyone, so I'm not technically new to Linux gaming, as I've been gaming recent titles (mostly single player) on my system. Now I know multi-player games are run different than single player games due kernel level anti cheat, but I've seen some posts that some are supported, so I was really curious about these 3 titles if they are supported, and if so, how has your experience been? I really miss those days where I would pop up an online shooter with my friends, so I'm trying to get back with Hunt showdown, arc raiders, and the finals. I've heard arc raiders and the finals are supported (for the moment) but I haven't seen too much about hunt showdown (which is the one I'm more interested in purchasing). Arc and hunt are on sale, that's why I'm really eager to buy anyone of those two but I want to stick with one, and probably the one which is more stable per se.

Fedora 43 MangoHUD not working with 32bit games, fix.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Dezember 2025 - 15:39
sudo dnf install mangohud.i686

This should fix that.

The only other alternative is using cope, but performance is worse and it's not ideal.

Cyberpunk 2077 hard freezes on CachyOS (AMD RDNA3, Proton) – virtual_setup_exception nested exception on signal stack

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Dezember 2025 - 14:31

Hi, I’m having serious stability issues with Cyberpunk 2077 on Linux and I’m running out of ideas and need help! I'm experiencing consistent crashes/freezes. The game always launches, runs smoothly, but no Proton version is stable. Crashes happen randomly during gameplay, often after 2-30 minutes. Usually after like 5 minutes. Running the game with PROTON_LOG=1 produces the exact same error in every proton version.

Proton versions tested:

  • Proton-CachyOS 10.0-20251126 (steam linux runtime):
  • Proton Experimental
  • GE-Proton10-27: game ran the longest (~1 h), but crash here soft-locked the system (could alt+tab but nothing would launch, not even a terminal window), requiring a hard reset. Previous Protons allowed killing the process normally.

Proton GE:

err:virtual:virtual_setup_exception nested exception on signal stack addr 0x7f3a518b2e60 stack 0x7ffcce50

Proton Experimental:

err:virtual:virtual_setup_exception nested exception on signal stack addr 0x7ff6178b2e60 stack 0x7ffcce50

Notably, the address is always identical, suggesting a deterministic memory allocation issue.

Specs:
Kernel: Linux 6.18.2-3-cachyos
KDE Plasma 6.5.4
WM: KWin (Wayland)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F (12) @ 5.08 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB [Discrete]
RAM: 32GB

Happens in:

  • Missions (e.g. Heist, Braindance)
  • Menus (skills/perks)
  • Sometimes after only 2–5 minutes, sometimes works up to ~1h if little happens on-screen

Things that I've already tested (all with cache clean + verify files):

  • Ray Tracing OFF / ON
  • FSR 3 / 4
  • With / without gamescope
  • With / without mangohud
  • FPS limit only in-game (monitor 200 Hz)
  • vm.max_map_count increased to 2147483642

Crashes occur in all configurations. Flags seem irrelevant. Ray Tracing may speed up the crash.

Game is opened through Steam, Launch commands tested:

Raw:

%command% --launcher-skip --intro-skip

Gamescope:

mangohud DXVK_ASYNC=1 VKD3D_ASYNC=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 \

PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_ADD_CONFIG=fsr4rdna4 \

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winmm,version=n,b" RADV_PERFTEST=nggc \

gamescope -f -w 2560 -h 1440 -r 200 --force-grab-cursor -- \

%command% --launcher-skip --intro-skip -skipStartScreen

Without gamescope (last crash on proton GE):

VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 \

PROTON_LOG=1 PROTON_ADD_CONFIG=fsr4rdna4 mangohud \

%command% --launcher-skip --intro-skip

Having trouble installing Reshade & ps2 controllers in Clair Obscure.

I'm following this guide

But reshade doesn't show up.

I tried putting a PS2 controller in the game, but it doesn't seem to recognize it. But on steam's big picture, it can recognize the controller.

Tekken 8, can't connect to the server

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Dezember 2025 - 14:22

I'm on popOS, i have an asus a15 (nvidia 4060), don't know if its relevant.
i've tried proton experimental, hotfix, 8-0-5 and 7-0-6. i made sure to have Easy anti cheat installed and chatgpt suggested to "disable" ipv6 or something like that.
Still cant connect, anything i'm missing? I'm not a linux expert, i've been using it for less than a month and i dont have very good knowledge in terms of "internet" and "network" stuff tbh, so i don't really know what could be the problem.

(everytime it gives the same error: C-00001-00898-1)

i also pased this into the lauch options:

PROTON_EAC_RUNTIME=1 %command% HOST_LC_ALL=$(echo $LANG) %command%
