I'm tired of needing to thinker every game even through Steam. Even Stardew Valley has the multiplayer broken for some reason?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. April 2026 - 02:55

Native doesn't work and through Proton it only shows the LAN option. I'm just tired of needing to thinker every game and now even STARDEW VALLEY of all games? I don't even play that much but it just makes me want to switch back.

What to do with Nvidia?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. April 2026 - 02:12

Okay so I'm about to buy a Thinkpad which obviously only comes with Nvidia dGPU. I need a dGPU as I do play games sometimes. But Linux has some finger sucking problems with Nvidia it seems, or the other way around perhaps. So what to do? I mean maybe I'll even get drivers for it now, but what about once it gets a bit older? What kind of issues do you think I'll see with it? And what should I do with it?

Help with porting to Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. April 2026 - 02:09

So I am working on developing a game, and I need to know how does everyone either download and input everything in Linux, and or run the files through both steam and or Itch.io? I want to make this as easy as I can for the community, I do hope someone will reach out to help give me advice for this. The game runs on UE5, ive downloaded and exported it through the tool chain for Unreal.

Hyper Demon crashing in CachyOS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. April 2026 - 01:32

I’ve played almost 30 hours of Hyper Demon, most of it in Linux, without any issues.

However, I just updated my system and now Hyper Demon will reach the main menu and freeze there. Audio still works, but no inputs are registered and the animations on the menu freeze.

I tried some other games and it only seems to be Hyper Demon having this issue. I’ve tried a couple of different proton versions without any luck.

Any ideas?

8bitdo controller not working on KCD2

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. April 2026 - 01:18

OS: CachyOS KDE Plasma

hello everyone, me again!

Today I installed Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 via Lutris (through GOG source).

Runs fine, but the game is not taking inputs from my gamepad, 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless, connected via 2.4G dongle.

Tried everything and verified that was configured as xinput (it is) so I’m really clueless now.

This is the only game (atm) on which I’m experiencing this

Did someone had the same problem? If yes, did you solved it, and how?

Thank you very much for the answers in advance!

Nightreign help wanted

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. April 2026 - 00:18

So I just started messing with Linux recently, specifically Bazzite. I was having issues loading into a match of Nightreign in general, but changing to Proton GE 10.34 seems to have fixed that for singleplayer. I am still really struggling with the multi-player side of things. I have tried a couple of different launch commands and versions of Proton ranging from 7+ including hot fixes and experimental.

I made sure to install the Proton EAC runtime in case that was the issue, but no dice so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am still very new to Linux so please have some patience. Thanks in advance!

Getting green screen while playing Lies of p in Fedora

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. April 2026 - 00:18

First time this happened a few months ago since than it was fine no issues, now it is been 4th time this green screen issue caused again in 2-3 days I am using Fedora (Kernel --> 6.19.13, Mesa --> 25.3.6), I am using lutris and I have tried changing runners from latest proton ge to experimental to latest proton 11 same issue, it does not seem like a hardware issue to me, it only happens when I am gaming and in some areas only, I have only noticed this problem while playing lies of p.

Have you faced similar issue in Fedora or any other linux distribution? Please let me know how did you fix it.

Christian Trading Card Game - Parabless

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26. April 2026 - 23:42

It's a Classic Hearthstone -formatted digital trading card game designed with biblical values as the pivot. It's not strictly "Bible The Game." It's about life as a large through Bible's perspective.

Everything is slotted into classes (7), alignments(Good, Neutral, Evil), factions, species(7) and forms(Spirit, Soul, Flesh & Craft).

Early Open beta opens up at 27th of April 2026 at 14:00 UTC +2.

Everyone who's interested is welcome to download it in Steam (Win/Linux) as it's currently free to play.

"As the creator, I wanted to play game like Hearthstone, but not Hearthstone. I saw a distinctive lack of games with healthy morals and that's how Parabless was decided. I wanted to make Hearthstone as my base starting point and fork out from there to my own direction. Less RNG, more control and tools for players (deck graph and deck tracker for example.)
I have big plans on how to scale the game if it ever gets wind under its sails. I'm humbled and grateful for each player who can enjoy this."

Cannot fullscreen older versions of Minecraft (Linux Mint Cinnamon)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26. April 2026 - 23:13

I've got this issue where I cannot play "retro" versions of Minecraft, such as Release 1.2.5 in fullscreen; this happens with Prism Launcher, Multi-MC and the default launcher itself. F11 or ALT + ENTER do not work, nor does starting the game fullscreened in Prism Launcher settings.

I've searched up and down the internet trying to figure out a solution, but nothing has worked so far.

Does anybody have the same issue, or has anybody been able to fix it? Thanks.

I’m building a Haunted House Dark Ride Sim with native Linux and full SteamDeck support!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26. April 2026 - 23:13

Hey r/linux_gaming,

I’m Japhet, a solo dev excited to share gameplay of Scream Operator: Haunted House Manager. My pixel-art management/Sim in which you run your own Haunted House Dark Ride.

Steampage:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4480080/Scream\_Operator\_Haunted\_House\_Manager/

You play from behind an industrial operator dashboard, balancing scares, guest flow, safety, power, and cashflow while building your haunted house dark ride.

Good to know: No generative AI was used. All art, animation and music are hand-made, something I personally stand for!

And naturally, the game will launch with native Linux support and full Steam Deck optimization.

Let me know what you think!

Gameflow Launcher

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26. April 2026 - 22:13

I was kinda unhappy with the existing retro launchers especially for my steam deck. Was so much of a hassle setting things up. Even with tools like emudeck. I was using ROMM and wanted an easy way to just download and play my games in a self-contained package. So I naturally said fine I'll do it myself :D This is what I have so far and wanted to show it off. Was inspired by the switch UI ofc. Also felt I needed a place where I collected free games I wanted to play and share. The project is free and open source for anyone to use.

You can check out the details here. https://github.com/simeonradivoev/gameflow-deck

Thinkpad p15v with an egpu Vs a desktop

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26. April 2026 - 21:02

I've recently sold a gaming laptop I've been unable to correctly set up for half a year and now I'm deciding what's next. My options are thus:

300€ for a ThinkPad p15v (i7 10750h, no dgpu, 1x thunderbolt 3)

90€ for a thunderbolt 3 EGPU

180€ for a ThinkPad T14 gen 2 (i5 1140g7 (28w), 2x thunderbolt 4)

550€ for a gaming rig (9600x, 32gb DDR5-5200(150€), X670, fractal R5, 850w seasonic, 512gb SSD)

Wild card :

180€ for a ThinkPad T14 gen 2 (i5 1140g7)

90€ for a thunderbolt 3 (300€ for a thunderbolt 4) EGPU

I already have a monitor and peripherals, I would be using them regardless. All costs are stated without a GPU, I'm deciding between a 6700xt and a 6800xt for 200/300 based on what I find.

My question for you good people who have experience with egpus is: is buying a cpu-only laptop stupid and should I just get the rig? I am only ever going to use the egpu with an external monitor, but I'd like anyone's experiences with egpus, especially over thunderbolt 3

Bonus: if anyone has experience with 11th gen thinkpads and gaming, do tell if you think the processors can handle gaming or not.

I'm perfectly aware a 10750 can't beat a 9600x, I'm just asking if the value difference is enough to justify it in your guys' opinion.

Unifical bedrock launcher nix, controller feels wrong.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26. April 2026 - 21:01

So as title really, ive used the launcher on my rog and on my steamdeck both with great sucsess they work. BUT the controller feels wrong compared to the widows version of bedrock. Its like everything is super sensitive to use. I tried turing down sensitivity on the handhelds, both in steamos and bazzite. I cant seem to figure it out. Has anyone got any ideas?

ESO + Bazzite fps drop

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26. April 2026 - 20:53

I installed Bazzite, steam, then Elder Scrolls Online.

Everything seemed to work smoothly. Steam auto installed Proton and Linux Runtimes. But the game jitters. I had FPS overlay enabled in Windows and it was rarely ever below 100 FPS. Now it's averaging 62 and jittering.

I did some looking up and found two things. One being this: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/cursor-stuttering-and-general-system-lag-on-fresh-bazzite-kde-install-nvidia/5121

Because I noticed the whole system is being a little jittery. It worked for the system in general but not the game.

So then I found stuff about forcing steam to run a different proton. 6 was suggested as well as 7. Tried both, but when I click play it says 'running', launcher doesn't pop, then it goes back to 'play'.

One suggestion was to go to UserSetting.txt and change the minframerate. Also did nothing to change it.

This is about the extent of my reasonable solutions, because I started messing around with stuff til I broke the game entirely by deleting/changing too many things and I'm currently running a reinstall. (Which will take forever and a half)

But I am all ears if anyone has any other suggestions.

I'm running

Ryzen 7 5700x

32 RAM

RTX 3070

And the driver Linux and game are installed on is not NTFS, which I also read could cause issues.

Vsync is off, too.

I'm very amateurish in Linux, but not completely illiterate, just to gauge how well I'll understand y'all.
