I looked on Google, but I couldn't find anything useful. Everything was just a tutorial for using compatibility tools. What is the procedure for getting new games or games that don't have anything useful on ProtonDB playable? Trial and error seems like the way to go but there has to be a better way than aimlessly trying compatibility tools.

Edit; I think some of my issues are being caused by my hardware. My GTX 1660 super hasn't been working so I'm using the iGPU on my I7-4790k and I think that's causing some games to not run at all, I've specifically noticed with games that use DirectX.

Hi all,

I am new to Linux, roughly 2-3 months into it.

I was trying to Play Brotato in koop on my Catchyos and did not know my Nintendo Controller would work.

So I found this kb2xbox which seemed to do the Trick. On that evening I only managed to get it running, I did not try it. Next day I came to the Idea of trying my Controller and it worked. So I went to a old snapshot to be save.

But am I save now?

I was hoping to get some feedback, anyone using kb2xbox?

Or anyone that knows repositories and Python to say If it looks scatchy?

Based on AI hints I did search through the Python but as I dont understand Python I dont trust this check.

Steps I did:

- Cloned the github repo mPyKen/kb2xbox

- Installed python-libevdev, python-evdev, and base-devel

- Added my user to the input group with usermod

- Changed /dev/uinput permissions to 0666

- Ran the script with sudo python kb2xbox.py

Hi friends.

I'm playing Resident Evil: Requiem (non-Steam version) launched from my Steam library using Proton-Cachyos on my CachyOS.

Last week I played RE4: Remake and was able to freeze my pistol ammo so it never dropped below 9 bullets using Game Conqueror.

Now, I've tried it with RE:Requiem, but Game Conqueror isn't working. It finds the value, but it's only visual, and I can't edit or freeze it (I can edit and freeze ammo outside the magazine, but it disappears when I close the editor or the game, resetting to 0, so I can't repeat the process if I don't find new ammo on the map).

Game Conqueror is a basic memory editor, so I can't follow any tutorials about pointers, etc.

I then tried using PINCE (advance editor, like Cheat Engine), but RE:Requiem seems to detect the memory editing attempt and freezes ("re9.exe stopped"). Pressing F3 allows you to resume the game, but RE:Requiem's ​​protection will stop it again after 5 seconds.

Cheat Engine has methods to evade detection and edit memory, but it's not available for Linux (even though they said they would release a Linux version this month, I can't find it).

So, what can I do? Do you have any advice?

Decided to jump back into overwatch and just wanted to note how well it runs on linux, I'm using a 9060xt running at 144hz 1440 and its solid. Played for a few hours and didn't notice any hickups or glitches and with the recent updates to the game I really found myself enjoying it again.

If your looking for a competitive game on linux don't sleep on overwatch!

I bought Mass Effect Legendary Edition in Steam and because of EA APP (which is required to play the game) it is unplayable. I tried running with latest Proton GE, Proton Experimental and Proton 11 and the EA App sometimes install and works but attempting to play the game gives "an error has occured in our end" and fails. This is the exact same error to this older post in theory, which worked for me in the past but doesn't right now. I also attempted running an older Proton version (9.0.4) but the issue persisted. The worst part? The only solution to bypass this is (apparently) cracking the game I payed for :(

Does anyone have any idea on how to get this to work? This is getting me, I want to have achievement support if its possible as well.

lsfg-vk stopped working after switching to LunarG Vulkan SDK and reversed back to Ubuntu LTS 24.04 lsfg-vk installed lsfg-vk 2.0.0-dev25 and it was working properly after the reverse back of Vulkan to Version: 1.3.275.

The game runs with GE-Proton-34, mangohud and gamemoderun, vsync eneabled ingame FPS capped at 120. The lsfg configuration profile for the game is untouched. Desktop on x11. Driver and Vulkan info shown bellow.Any help would be appreciated.

a good portion of my games seem to run fine on linux but are incapable of recognizing my controller, no matter the controller, mode of connection or proton version used. Does anyone have a good strategy to troubleshoot controllers? I mostly use 8bitdo controllers but I get the same problem with ps3 and xbox360 controllers

Recently, I built a Bazzite PC using a BC250 mining board and LEGO.

Originally, I built it as a Batocera emulation machine, but the performance wasn’t as good as I expected. So I switched to Bazzite, did some overclocking and undervolting, and installed RetroDECK.

The system is modular, so it can be easily attached to or detached from the monitor and keyboard I previously built.

Many people are concerned about thermals, but cooling is actually better than typical 3D-printed cases. I replaced the thermal material with PTM, and placed the board directly in front of two 120mm exhaust fans. The other four 120mm fans push air toward the board and exhaust area, so heat doesn’t linger inside the case. I also used angled LEGO bricks to help guide airflow more efficiently.

For mounting, only a small portion of the board is in contact with the bricks, and those areas are insulated to prevent heat damage, so there’s no risk of the bricks melting.

During a 30-minute stress test, the maximum temperature reached 84°C. In typical mid-to-high-end games, temperatures stay around 60–70°C, and for emulation, around 40°C. I set the fans to ramp up to 100% at 75°C, but outside of stress testing, they’ve never reached full speed.

As for durability, the structure is very solid thanks to the large number of bricks used. Even with over 10kg of monitor and keyboard on top, it holds everything securely.

I usually play on consoles, but I ended up building a Linux gaming PC—and after using it, I’m really impressed with how feature-rich and capable Bazzite is.

Thanks for checking it out, and feel free to ask any questions in the comments!

So I remember trying Midnight Club LA using RPCS3 on windows a couple of years back and I remember it giving 30-45 fps. My rig was fairly similar at that time. I then tried RPCS3 on Mint a couple of months back and it gave me about 15 fps, regardless of settings or tweaks.

My question is, is there a huge difference in the stage of development/general performance of RPCS3's windows version versus its linux one, the same way it works with Xenia?

(For context: Xenia's native linux version is broken and unusable but the windows version works well on linux using proton).

If there's anyone here using RPCS3 on linux in general, please share your experience.

SPECS:
R7 5700X3D
4X8GB DDR4 3200mhz CL16
RX 6700 XT 12GB (and more recently 9060 XT 8GB)
1TB NVME
2TB 7200RPM HDD

I am on Linux Mint using GE-Proton (10-25). The game launches, but the window doesn’t show properly it stays hidden in the panel sometimes it opens and connects other times shows a black screen with audio. Sometimes it appears, but breaks again if I alt-tab or switch apps. It has also crashed several times "steam something something has stopped responding". It has ran for 3hr but it is giving me problems.

So I have Tomb Raider I-III Remastered through GOG (thank you Amazon Prime), but when I went to launch it yesterday, it would crash under Wine, and only used about 1/4 of the screen space when I launched it with Proton-GE.

Anyone else encounter this, and does anyone have any advice? I’m running Nobara 43, for what that’s worth.
