HELP!! GAMES ARE CRASHING ON MY STEAM(Ubuntu distro)
i got a pretty old gaming laptop with gtx1650 +8gb ram and amd chip.
so whenever I launch games (for example:- Fall out new vegas or dying light), they run fine for the first few minutes but they crash after a while.
like either the window can't be accessed or it says error and I have to stop the game from the steam itself.
i did these following:-
1)resetted steam preferences
2)used old and latest proton versions
3)stopped steam overlay
4)downgraded my graphic driver and etc
i couldn't find any video to solve this on YouTube so I had to use chatgpt for initial debugging but now it's telling me to make changes on system level to tinker with VRAM overflow or threading changes

Help needed with running Halo 2 using project cartographer.
I have been working for 7 hours since yesterday and today to set up this thing. So I used project cartographer in lutris and installed halo 2 and the mod from there and did everything i had to get it started. The game started and then it went on until exactly when there is supposed to be a gun fight in the first level. Everytime it just keeps crashing. This is my lutris system info:
[System]

Vulkan Drivers: Intel(R) UHD Graphics (CML GT2) (1.4.318)
And i have installed and deleted the whole setup about 4 times atp.
I even tried using ChatGPT to find the issues and it kept giving me a lot of "solutions" but none of them ever worked. I am nearing the end of my patience and request your help in finding the error. I will post more relevant info as requested in the comments.
I am willing to post the error logs and any other detail that you feel may help me. I have checked online resources and videos but i cant find any reason for this issue. I also tried bottles to load this but it just doesnt work.
I am willing to send any and every detail that i can find if someone knows how to do this.

BC250 alternatives? Why not use OG PS5?
Explain like I’m 5
Those „legendary” mining cards can go up to 250€ these days when for that money you can get used PS5 (madness I know).
If there’s whole community around modding BC250 why no one making „og ps5 steam machine”?
Maybe there are some alternatives for bc250 that tech youtubers didn’t know yet?

VR games aren't all launching in VR.
I set up ALVR to work with my quest 2 and while I got VRChat mostly working i haven't been able to get other games working and my only guess as to why is the dedicated launch in VR option. When I launch VR only games it seems like SteamVR isn't communicating with the game even when launched through SteamVR. Has anyone here encountered and fixed this?

Crimson Desert FSR4 - 9070xt
Hey there!
I recently got CrimsonDesert and the in game settings only FSR3.1 is available.
Im already running PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 but i was wondering if this game is supposed to show fsr4 already in the in-game menus.
Also a bit of a more general question: is there a way to confirm that the FSR4_UPGRADE command is actually working? Specially with crimson desert that is already in native quite "shimmery" i keep wondering if im just gaslighting myself into thinking its actually working.
Thanks!

Why do people have low priority regarding native Linux games?
If we keep buying games that does not support Linux then we are sending the devs a clear message that they should not care about gaming on Linux.
When I am bored and wanted a new game then I am always filtering so I only see games that is (hopefully well) support on Linux such as Silksong and Stellaris.
It is rarely (but it can happen) that a game is so great that I allow it even without Linux support.
Why dond you want Linux to be taken serious as a gaming platform?

Optiscaler in Cyberpunk in Epic via Heroic
As the title states. I bought Cyberpunk 2077 in the Epic store, later switched to CachyOS, installed Heroic and now I'm playing it. I use the PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 flag so in-game FSR4 is working. But since FSR Redstone stuff is out, I'd like to try FSR 4.1 and FSR 4 frame gen. And I think I need Optiscaler for that.
I have Goverlay with Mangohud and Optiscaler. It works when I use the starting parameters in Steam. But in Heroic, I can choose to start Mangohud directly - it works. But I can't get the full Goverlay _with_ Mangohud and Optiscaler.
I've seen some threads but none of their responses seem to work. I'd like to avoid installing Optiscaler directly into the game's bin folder.
Any ideas are appreciated!
