I'm unable to install wine32; does libwine replace it, or is it not as good???

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Februar 2026 - 20:44

I am trying to set up linux so that I can play a game, and it says that I should install Lutris and Wine. I looked up how to install wine, and it told me to install wine32. I tried to, and it came up with this: Package wine32 is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

However the following packages replace it:

libwine

I already installed libwine. I hope I didn't screw everything up. Please tell me if I did and what to do. I have no idea how any of this works.

Postal 2 Stuttering Like Crazy

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Februar 2026 - 19:00

Hello, as you can see on the title, my Postal 2 (GOG version) is stuttering like crazy. I tried everything; wine, proton ge and experimental and running it natively (which should work because it has a platinum score on proton db). I even tried gamemode and gamescope.
Switched to OpenGL, still the same.

Nothing worked, my game is still stuttering a lot it's literally unplayable.

I use CachyOS. Got a Ryzen 3 3200U (2 cores 4 threads) and an apu Radeon Vega 3 graphics (2 gigabytes), also 8 gigabytes of ram. The game runned normally on windows 11 but won't work on linux.

I really love this game and I want to play it again. I would appreciate some help, thanks!

No man Sky in Cachy Os

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Februar 2026 - 18:13

Hello, does anyone know how I can play No Man's Sky on ultra graphics in CachyOS? It worked fine on Windows but it fails on Linux. I already have the drivers updated, I'm using Steam's Proton and GameMode. What could be causing the severe FPS drops?

8BitDo Ultimate 2(C)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Februar 2026 - 17:53

Hello,

I read in some previous topics that this controller is literally plug & play.

However, in USB, I'm not able to make it work. It is recognized as a keyboard / mouse. Anything I can do ?

Python 3.14.3 prevents all games in Heroic Launcher from launching (Arch Linux BTW)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Februar 2026 - 16:46

After upgrading python from 3.14.2-2 -> 3.14.3-1 on Arch, nothing launches anymore through Heroic Games Launcher.

Everything worked fine before the update — I was playing Arknights Endfield without issues.

Now when I start any game (for example Dredge), Heroic tries to launch for a few seconds and then just stops.

Reproduce:

upgrade python to 3.14.3-1
launch any game via Heroic
it fails

Workaround:

Downgrade python back to 3.14.2-2 -> everything works again.

Anyone else experiencing this?
Any advice where to report this bug?

HDMI 2.1 FRL: Looking for testers!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Februar 2026 - 16:31

Hi all!

I've successfully managed to implement HDMI FRL in AMDGPU, enabling full HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on your AMD GPUs. Code is available here: https://github.com/mkopec/linux/tree/hdmi_frl_amd_staging

The current state:

- FRL training works

- Video and audio work

- HDR works, VRR does not (it's just a matter of setting infopackets, I'll fix it soon)

- Hotplug, DPMS work

- Dynamic selection of the required FRL rate for a given mode is implemented

Caveats:

- Only DCN 4.0.1 (9070 XT) has been tested. Other GPUs should work similarly, but these paths are completely untested. There may be some clock dependencies there that I've not implemented or figured out yet. Hence me looking for testers today :) But do prepare for the possibility that the kernel might not even boot.

- Untested DCN generations include DCN 3.1 - DCN 3.6. DCN 3.0 (RX 6000 series) has not been implemented yet, but I believe it should be pretty similar to the newer DCNs.

- There is still some weirdness with my TV (Samsung S95B), where it will sometimes reject training higher FRL rates unless i restart the TV. So if you get no picture, try a lower resolution / refresh rate, or try restarting your TV.

- Support for YCbCr 4:2:0 and DSC are not implemented.

Please attach a `dmesg` log and your GPU model if you test my patches and get no picture! It will help in tracing what goes wrong.

The patches are based mostly on:

- Diffing register states on Windows and Linux until they match

- Breakpointing the Windows driver to check what values it sends to the DMUB

- Publicly available AMD-Xilinx HDMI FRL training code

Special thanks to u/Lawstorant for providing help with regards to EDID parsing as well as of the emotional kind :D

I have two different problems: Screen flickering and really low FPS in one of my games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Februar 2026 - 15:35

My specs are:

Ryzen 5 5600

32 GB ddr4 ram

2070 super gpu

Running Linux Mint 22.3 with the recommended nvidia drivers selected.

The first problem I am having happens when i sit in a game for like 5+ minutes without doing anything. Whether it be afk in minecraft or at the lobby screen for arc raiders. This has happened in minecraft, 7 days to die, arc raiders and sons of the forest. If I sit doing nothing for like 5+ minutes i will notice my frames drop to 30 and the screen starts flickering kinda strobe like. But right when I start clicking on things or moving my frames will jump back up. Last night I noticed that switching monitor inputs and switching back fixed it. I feel like I fixed this problem at one point but can't remember how I did it.

The second is specific to Sons of the Forest. I can play that game fine for like the first 1-2 hours but I will notice that my FPS gradually gets worse and worse and when i open my inventory/backpack my frames literally drop to 2-3 and it becomes unusable. But right when I close my inventory it gets like 60+ again. While playing last night I had my system monitor open and my ram usage kept creeping up and not dropping till i closed the game. I think I started at like 12 GB ram used and ended with like 17 GB ram used. It seemed like my cache kept getting larger and larger too. Not sure what that means.

Any help would be appreciated!
