Some Games Running Half as Well on Linux than Windows

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Dezember 2025 - 09:49

I've been on Linux (Fedora 43 at the moment) for a few months now and really enjoying it thus far. But I have noticed some games running rather poorly. I chalked it up to bad optimization at the time but randomly deciding to boot the game in Windows made me notice the games run almost twice as well in Windows, 70-90FPS vs 180 on Windows. The games in particular are Death Stranding and Yakuza 7: Like A Dragon.

My specs are:

Ryzen 7 5800x3D

RX 9070XT

32 GB RAM

Running Fedora 43 KDE

I've mostly noticed that it seems to be due to a low CPU usage, where it seems to be single core bound, with that core never pushing about 60% usage. I've tried gamemode, changing my power profile and changing kernel.split_lock_mitigate to 0 and none of them seem to make more than a few FPS difference. I'm using the latest Proton-GE and Mesa through system updates. Is there anything else I could do to help with this? I'd much rather use Linux if possible but this is rather annoying.

Edit: Mangohud stats

My experience having an AMD GPU on linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Dezember 2025 - 08:46

ignore my random insane ramblings, i'm just here to rant lol

so i've had a 7800XT for over a year now and to be honest, this is the last AMD graphics card i will ever buy. my time with the GPU has been plagued by driver timeouts/crashes/resets on both windows and linux. i am genuinely so sick of it.

maybe it's a hardware issue, although i doubt that considering this has happened even when i first picked up the card. and, yes, this has happened across multiple different games as well, with one game in particular causing it to happen the most in recent memory(RV There Yet)

before you tell me how to diagnose issues, fix problems, etc, i have already done everything i could think of. the crashes still happen, completely interrupting everything i am doing. i guess my experience with AMD is just unlucky. oh well

HTC Vive Pro 2 won't connect anymore

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Dezember 2025 - 08:20

Hello internet,

I wanted to play some VR games, but unfortunately my vive pro 2 won't connect anymore, it worked before with CertainLach/VivePro2-Linux-Driver etc with the same setup.

My setup:

Arch Linux with Hyprland,R7 5800x, RX 7600XT, mesa and the radeon driver should be up to date.

I tried repluging everything in every order, tried different DP ports, different USB ports, no success. Under Windows no problem, detects everything. In dmesg I only get a error for "uvcvideo: Failed to set UVC probe control : -32"

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance :)

Fallout 4 and Buffout

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Dezember 2025 - 07:35

I'm sure many of you who play Fallout 4 are familiar with Buffout (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/47359?tab=posts&BH=0). So the question I have is this. Is it possible for the archive limit bypass to work on linux? When i activate it crashes the game on launch. when not active everything works fine. I like to be able to add more mods to my load order without merging. Distro is Nobara and proton version is GE-proton10-23

Device Detected In Linux (Mint 22.2) But Not In Game

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Dezember 2025 - 06:37

Hello! Recently swapped to Linux and have been itching to do some proper sim racing in the few games that currently work on it, but I've been having issues with my pedals (Logitech Pro Racing Pedals) being detected in game. They seem to be detected in Linux just fine, they show up with the correct name in lsusb, and evtest shows that the inputs are getting through, but so far I haven't been able to actually bind them to anything in-game. So far I've tested on Assetto Corsa, AC Rally and American Truck Simulator, but none of them have picked it up. Is there some kind of virtual controller I could use that could map it to something that would be recognized? I tried Oversteer, but nothing popped up there either.

Steam Input Isn't Working

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Dezember 2025 - 05:53

I've been using Flatpak Steam for some time, but a few issues had me regretting my decision. I wanted to use my 8bitdo SN30 Pro with mGBA (also via Flatpak) but controller support in that application is not very robust, so I figured I'd use Steam Input to translate my buttons to keyboard keys. Unfortunately, adding a Flatpak as a non-Steam game in Flatpak Steam is not very straightforward...

This was the last straw; I uninstalled Flatpak Steam and reinstalled Steam via RPM Fusion as I'm using Fedora. I've now added the mGBA Flatpak as a non-Steam game, and used the controller configuration panel to map each button to the default keybinds configured in mGBA. While Steam recognizes my controller, and I've ensured that Steam Input is force-enabled for the mGBA entry in my library, none of my button presses are making it to mGBA.

To further troubleshoot this, I mapped some of my controller buttons to the Volume Up and Volume Down system actions. Curiously, nothing happens when I press these buttons, which leads me to believe that mGBA isn't at fault here- It seems like my controller's button presses aren't being translated to anything configured within Steam Input.

Any idea what's going on here? When I run Steam via the terminal, I don't see anything too crazy. I searched this subreddit for anyone encountering something similar, but I didn't find anything too helpful. I do still have the steam-devices package installed for my old Steam Flatpak installation- would that be causing me any trouble? I've restarted Steam, my PC, the controller... Steam Input seems to be working fine with this controller and Red Dead Redemption 2! Maybe mGBA is at fault after all? Let me know what you think.

EndeavourOS recommendation

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Dezember 2025 - 05:51

Why doesn't anyone ever recommend this distro? I kept trying CachyOS, but it just refused to install. Endeavour is just the same and it's also faster. What's the catch?

All in on Linux with AMD upgrade

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Dezember 2025 - 05:14

Been running a 2080ti since 2020 and jumped to Linux about 9 months ago. Been loving the Linux experience, everything works and its fun playing with something new. Unfortunately as we all know Nvidia doesn't play nice with Linux. The stars aligned for me; end of the year, my birthday and stumbled on a sale for a 9070XT Nitro+ for less than any other budget variant. To add to that, with the current uncertainty in the PC gaming and hardware market I decided to jump on a GPU before prices skyrocket and availability dissapears.

Did a fresh install of CachyOS and everything is up and running perfectly. I am getting just over double the performance I was getting with my 2080ti which is a really nice experience.

So yeah. Now that I no longer have the Nvidia handicap I am staying on Linux for the foreseeable future.

Going to play with some undervolting/overclocking later and see what I can do.

Any tips/tricks or advice from other 9070xt and Linux users would be much appreciated.

Computer becomes unresponsive while game is in fullscreen/focused. Official Nvidia drivers fix it, but breaks the monitor.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Dezember 2025 - 04:47

Problem: Opening games make them run at about 1FPM. All input commands are delayed. Alt tab puts the game in background and it runs fine.

I was able to fix this by installing the newest driver from Nvidia's website. However doing that caused my monitor configuration to fallback to 1080P at half refresh rate (140) So I went back on the supplied driver from kubuntu with the original issue.

What should I do now? Thanks.

Kubuntu LTS 24.04

Steam launcher

RTX4070Ti

Drivers: tested open 580 drivers given by driver manager.

LS49AG95 Samsung G9 Neo (5140x1440)

X11
