Lutris vs Heroic. Whats the difference?

This so far the only game that I was not able to play after changing to Linux. My last try was the combination of a Wine prefix with the TDU2 UniversalLauncher.exe as described here, as that seemed to work for most people. The UniversalLauncher starts, but the game will then either tell me to use the UpLauncher or crash right in the loading screen. I am not sure if I misunderstand something with the startup process - I tried starting the UniversalLauncher.exe from the Prefix itself via Winetricks or putting the .exe and the Prefix in the Heroic Games Launcher and start it from there..

So several questions for troubleshooting:

• What is the right way to start the UniversalLauncher.exe after setting up the prefix?
• Does it matter if its the Steam version of TDU2?
• Does it matter if the installed game files are on a different hard drive then the prefix? Winetricks will always install the prefix on the system drive while the game is located on a seperate drive. So in Wine, the game is located in the Z/media/DRIVENAME folder.

I hope i covered all necessary details. Playing on Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon.

Hello, after the recent announcement of Xenoverse 3, the desire to finally play Xenoverse 2 hit me(again), but since I am a Linux user(Zorin being the distro I use) EAC ends up screwing with me

Last time I bought the game I ended up refunding because the game wouldn't even open. But since it's currently on sale on Steam, I would like to ask if there's any way to make it run on my system?

With the 7.0 kernel now released I've been thinking about updating my system. Before that I want to ask you fine folks about your experiences with the 7.0 kernel (and adopting newly released kernels in general) for gaming use stability and performance wise.

Any and all responses are appreciated❤️

Hey, I had the urge to go and replay a fav of mine, Metro 2033 and Last Light.

But trying to run Metro 2033 Redux has given me a lot of issues. Trying to use the linux native version of Metro 2033 Redux results in the game loading just fine, but it runs at 20 FPS at BEST, which is unplayable.

I tried using Proton instead and the game just doesn't launch at all with proton.

Specs: Debian 13 Trixie (Stable) x86 Kernel: 6.12.74 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X GPU: AMD Radeon RX7900XT

I have tried everything I possibly can. I've played to about level 14 at the moment and I actually really want to enjoy this game becuase when it's been playable i've been having a lot of fun. This really sucks.

I am on a RTX 2080 card with a Ryzen 7 1700x, I feel like this should be more than enough to handle this game properly especially considering I play much more taxing games, but it just absolutely crashes to absurd levels of FPS when outside. Especially if it's an area with a lot of things going on, it goes down to like 4 FPS and the game becomes a literal slideshow. Sometimes if I stand still the game will recover itself back up to 60fps, and that's the thing. It plays at max FPS cap consistantly until it doesn't and it plummets to 4fps, it's all or nothing.

The only thing i can possibly think of is that maybe its to do with me playing with proton somehow? But looking on ProtonDB people seem to have no issues.

Here's the steps I've tried:

1. Rebooted my PC
2. Change iPresentInterval=1 to 0
3. Set an FPS cap to 60 on my GPU control panel
4. Updated NVIDIA drivers
5. Put on gamescope, gamemoderun, switched proton, tried anti mesa lag
6. Dropped settings down to medium and even low
7. Changed to fullscreen

I'm out of options, I literally don't know what else I could do that'd fix this. If anyone has had any trouble with this in the past and was able to find a solution please let me know! I really wanna be able to continue playing but it's very frustrating to deal with as is.

I used to enjoy hopping on my computer and playing my favourite games, talking to people online and using apps. I had my windows install customised and had a dozen modded games running fine.

Since WIN10 support ended I've attempted to get normal functionality from Linux, specifically ArchLinux CachyOS since that is what my friend was using, other than that I just assumed I could get whatever level of functionality out of it I needed. But at every turn I am met with overwhelming complexity and obscurity.

There is no definitive start to using Linux, because there is no definitive distro. One person's Linux can be drastically different from another, right down to the commands they use in the terminal.

I never wanted to learn programming or how multiple different operating systems work from the Kernel level up. I just don't have the patience or motivation for that.

But that seems to be the requirement for running Linux.

I would like to stop using Microsoft products and don't want to support them in any way, so moving to Linux makes sense.

All I want right now is to be able to install games and mod them with the same ease as I could in WIN7/10.

But I don't understand the Linux file system or how the file system of installed games work compared to windows...

If I want to install an App of any kind, the only way I know how is using the Paru command. I have no idea where these apps are coming from when I use this command, other than I am connecting to some server somewhere that is hosting these files for me to download...

But what if I can't find an app using Paru?

A lot of the functions within the OS have bugs and glitches.

For example: The Steam main window appears half way down my screen on booting up but in order to minimise/maximise it I still need to click at the top of my screen where the toolbar would be... When I hover over my name in the friends list, my mini-profile shows up, but won't disappear and remains on top of every other window even if I go to other windows, until I open the friends tab again and hover over my name again.

App icon badges don't show up, if someone messages me in Discord, I get no red number appearing on the app icon in the task bar.

-

The main issue I am having though is terrible performance from my hardware, in WIN10 I was getting great fps and stability in many games.

But now in Linux, many games are running very poorly, with terrible fps and in some cases bugs/glitches I never encountered on WIN10.

I even upgraded my MB, RAM and CPU before installing Linux, my RAM is twice as fast as it was before, my CPU is a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, My GPU is a 3080ti. I should be getting amazing fps in many games, but I have never experienced such terrible performance from many games as I am now...

I installed a few games on Steam and my cloud saves/settings are gone, they were working and I had access to them on WIN10, but now they are just gone for at least two or three games.

When I uninstall a game on Linux it ALSO uninstalls my saved games and settings/configs, why? This is extremely annoying, as I don't want to rely entirely on cloud saves and as mentioned above, they don't seem to be working anyway.

When my computer boots up, it can't display my BIOS screen unless I unplug my monitor from my GPU and plug it into the MB, this was never an issue before using Linux.

I can't use Discord hotkeys for toggling my microphone on/off with Discord minimised.

When I click the 'pageback' mouse4 button it takes me to the previous window I was looking at (so when I try to use page back in my browser it switches to what other window/app I have open)

If I want to install Stalker GAMMA, I used to just download their installer, but now I can't do that on Linux and I would have to buy the game on GoG to get access to that mod on Linux.

So yeah, if anyone knows how to fix any of this that would be great.

Every action(even cursor highlighting items) on Steam is so laggy / delayed. This doesn't happen on CachyOS / Pop!_OS

So i decided to switch over to Linux for my PC gaming setup (still have a bootloader for windows just in case), and i have been playing a lot of Elden Ring recently. I was able to download the game and access my save from when i played on Windows. However, I just had an issue with a corrupt game file that verifying the game files could not fix, so i had to completely reinstall the game. Now after reinstalling, the game cant seem to access my save. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, please help.

I just bought The Division 2 on Steam. According to ProtonDB it should be straightforward, but no matter which Proton I use, nothing happens and the play button is green again.

Could it be something with the Ubisoft launcher?

Proton: Cachy-SLR. Experimental. GE10-34

CachyOS. 5800X3D 7900XTX.

Much like 11 bit studios are doing with the original Frostpunk, they're going back to their roots with a complete reimagining of This War of Mine.

Spanish-speaking Linux users mostly rely on Discord, where knowledge disappears fast. I built a forum to fix that: foro.rcv11x.net

It has dedicated sections for Linux gaming, emulation (Proton, Steam Deck, RetroArch, PCSX2...) and the usual distros, homelab, Docker stuff. Threads are Google-indexed so solutions stick around.

If you know any Spanish speakers in the community, feel free to point them over.

Hi everyone,

I’m running into a very specific and frustrating performance issue in World of Warcraft since the 12.0.5 content patch. Everything was working perfectly before the update, but now the game has severe stuttering issues under very specific conditions.

The Issue:

• Self-Cast Lag: The game runs at a stable 100-120 FPS. When allies or enemies cast spells, there is no lag at all. However, the moment I press a button to cast my own spells, I get massive "standbilder" (split-second freezes/stutters), even though the FPS counter remains high. This happens even at training dummies with no other players around.
• Windowed Mode Bug: Since the update, the game refuses to save the "Windowed Fullscreen" setting. It constantly resets to a small windowed mode on startup, and I have to manually fix it in the options every time I log in.

System Specs:

• OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS (Fully updated)
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT (Mesa)
• Resolution: 3440x1440p (Ultrawide)
• Runner: Steam / Proton Experimental
• Launch options: RADV_PERFTEST=gpl gamemoderun %command% --disable-gpu

What I have tried so far:

• Disabled ALL addons (tested with a completely clean UI).
• Deleted the Shader Cache and the WoW Cache folder.
• Deleted Config.wtf to reset all settings to default.
• Switched between DirectX 11 and DirectX 12.
• Capped Foreground FPS to 180.

It feels like the game "chokes" specifically on my own character's combat events or input. Has anyone else experienced this since 12.0.5? Could this be a conflict between Proton Experimental and the new patch's spell effects?

Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated!
