Goverlay not working in a game in specific.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 21 Stunden 11 Minuten

I tried removing that space in the Steam folders, changing the name for GPBikes, GP-Bikes and GP_Bikes, but it didn't work.

I already tried using mangohud %command% and it's working. I also checked the vkBasalt.conf file and everything is in order, so I don't know exactly what the problem could be.

I've already enabled vkBasalt in other games and it works; I'm only having trouble with this one.

EDIT: the game opens, when I try to change the link, it doesn't. ToggleKey is home, I used it and vkBasalt not works.

Goverlay 1.8 WIP

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 21 Stunden 23 Minuten

Hey Linux gamers,

i'm working on Goverlay 1.8 release for a couple of weeks now, besides squashing old bugs i'm bringing some new features like:

  • Per game configuration for Mangohud, vkbasalt, optiscaler and tweaks
  • Open game folder / game prefix folder in two clicks
  • Custom dialog to map toggle keyboard keys
  • Some new exportable env variables

But i really would like some feedback on the new interface theme. The idea is to make the interface more modern and less 'Delphi" like, here are some screenshots from the latest nightly.

Should i keep improving this modern look ? or stick to the older one ? Tell me your ideas

Anyone know what could be causing this glitch?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 21 Stunden 36 Minuten

Linux Mint Kernel 6.17.0-20, AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, RTX 3070

Currently playing Pragmata on Linux Mint, and I'm coming across a really weird & annoying visual glitch that appears as bright colored spots/orbs of light. Here's the output from inxi -xxACGS, vulkaninfo, and glxinfo. I've tried toggling pretty much every switch in the graphics menu off and on, but nothing gets rid of the blobs; disabling Bloom helped for a second but it came back.

The game is running on Steam using Proton Experimental, and the glitch happens on Hotfix as well. I feel like this has happened before as well; not sure exactly which game it was, but I'm pretty sure it was a similar triple-A type 3D game. Might've been Doom or maybe Battlefield, couldn't say for sure.

Steam Disk Write Error

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 22 Stunden 3 Minuten

I reinstalled the game Pillars of Eternity 2 from Steam and now I can't download it anymore, and Steam says there's a disk write error. I'm on Nobara, my disk has the Btrfs format, and everything else works no problem. I can download any other game, it's just Pillars of Eternity 2 that won't work. Any ideas what it could be? I recently updated Nobara, but using the older kernel won't work either.

[OptiTux] Optiscaler Interface for Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. April 2026 - 23:43

Hello everyone, I wrote a tool in Tauri Rust to facilitate the installation and management of Optiscaler on Linux. (I also created a Discord server to provide support for the app there; the link is in the GitHub readme). https://github.com/Spexxl/OptiTux-GUI

Steam cloud sync errors on 2 different machines/distros

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. April 2026 - 23:32

Hello, i just recently installed Nobara on my desktop, and i had many problems with steam cloud sync, it appears mostly just an inconvenience, it says cloud sync error when it actually did in fact correctly download the save files.

i thought maybe i had a mistake with the way i installed steam or maybe the OS, but im having the same problems on my laptop with PopOs Gnome, so its completely different hardware, distro, and DE.

Tekken 8 in particular just won't sync at all, this is whats annoying me the most, the error just doesn't go away and the game is actually not synced (i cant find my custom skins). i tried to debug it with Claude and, from reading the log files, it just appears that the Bahrain server is just timing out, tried a VPN to force it to connect to a different server but that also didn't work.

the fact that i have the problem on linux and but not windows makes me think that its an issue on my side, the fact that i have the same sync problems on 2 different linux devices with completely different hardware and software setup, got me completely lost.

hoping to find help on this

Crimson Desert crashing issues when closing the map on Bazzite.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. April 2026 - 23:26

Has anyone experienced crashing on a longer save file only when closing the map to teleport? It seems that initiating the loading screen is a cause for a crash, but only on a long save file.

The game has run fine for the first 100 hours of play, but since crossing that threshhold up to 150hrs the issue is getting way more common, making the game quite frustrating to play.

I have been running the game with these launch args for the whole 150hrs and crashes happen with and without them;

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 RADV_DEBUG=nohiz %command%

I am running the game on a full AMD system with a 7800X3D and 7900XTX with 32GB DDR5 RAM at 6000mt/s

I'm curious if anyone has found a fix for this at all, or maybe had a similar issues in a long hour game and solved it there.

Should I use Nouveau drivers over Nvidia's proprietary on a gtx series 10 card?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. April 2026 - 23:14

I got an almost a decade old gtx 1050ti, using proprietary Nvidia drivers and running Fedora 43 KDE. It's been a while since Nvidia dropped the support for these cards, and I know that it's drivers have some flaws, like making me unable to use 3D Acceleration on VirtManager and having trouble with Vulkan on Waydroid. Searching about the first, I noticed that the open-source drivers do work better with VirtManager, but I saw many people complaining about performance. I mostly game on this PC and it will take many months for me to save for a new GPU, which I plan to be AMD.

Given that situation, is switching to Nouveau a good move? Do it stays way behind proprietary drivers in gaming performance?

Annoying visual bug in Cyberpunk 2077

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. April 2026 - 23:08

Hello, some weeks ago I had this problem with Cyberpunk 2077 and I thought it'd be fixed by the new Nvidia drivers or Proton, but it seems not. In the video it doesn't look very good because it's capped at 60 fps and the problem seems to be related to the frame rate, as it gets worse the higher the FPS (I usually get 80 FPS with DLSS and frame gen enabled). It doesn't happen with other games or in Windows 11.

Environment variables for the game:

VKD3D_CONFIG=descriptor_heap PROTON_VKD3D_HEAP=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 mangohud gamemoderun %command% --launcher-skip

What I'm using:

  • OS: CachyOS
  • Kernel: Linux 7.0
  • Proton: proton-cachyos-20260410-slr
  • DE: KDE Plasma 6.6.4
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB
  • RAM: 32 GB DDR4

What I've tried and doesn't work:

  • Using Proton-GE and other Valve Proton versions
  • Reinstalling the game and removing the games compdata to clean it all
  • Recompiling Vulkan shaders
  • Updating Nvidia drivers and system
  • Disabling DLSS and frame gen
  • Changing the environment variables

Please help me with this issue as it is literally unplayable. Thanks.

Help with virtual super resolution

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. April 2026 - 23:02

Hi, is there any way to enable AMD's VSR (Virtual Super Resolution) on Linux, specifically on Bazzite?

I have a 1080p monitor and I'd like to run it at 1440p. I know a native 1440p monitor would be ideal, but I can't afford one right now. I’ve tested this feature on Windows before and really liked how much sharper the image looked.

Any help or workarounds would be appreciated!

I frequently use proton for non gaming applications (better than standard wine in most) - Is there a way to use proton without steam?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. April 2026 - 22:13

Title basically.

Where is the binary for proton? How can I run windows apps like bnet through a particular version of proton without having to boot up steam and litter my library with non-steam games that are actually just bog standard programs?

Thanks!

NOMM (Linux Mod Manager) - Two months later update

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. April 2026 - 21:06

Hey everyone,

It's been nearly two months since my last update (https://www.reddit.com/r/linux\_gaming/comments/1rgg6e1/nomm\_linux\_mod\_manager\_3\_weeks\_later\_update/), and I wanted to share some news on the development of the app - it's going well!

I've just released a new "major" version: 0.8.0

I was finally able to defeat my greatest enemy: 7zip extraction from within a Flatpak :D

But since my last update post (and Youtube video) there's been a lot of stuff added:

  • Added 7zip / rar support
  • Added new settings options
    • Full screen toggle
    • Per-game accent colours
    • Skip Launcher on startup
  • Added mod conflict detection (not management yet)
  • Added experimental support for a bunch of games
  • Added detection for text files in mods
  • Added support for multiple paths so that the user can choose where they want to install their mods when games have multiple paths that should be handled
  • Full localisation support
    • Added French language support as a test, if you want to add your own language send me a pm on Discord and/or do a PR directly.
  • Completely overhauled the way game libraries are detected, meaning it's basically instantaneous now
  • Made the UI a bit nicer (notably removed footer on dashboard)
  • Added mod count indicators on the dashboard
  • Added support for a bunch more games (but nothing crazy - still no Bethesda games)

If you want to check out the app, as usual it's accessible here:

Thank you!

Competitive gaming on Linux: Best ways to reduce input latency?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. April 2026 - 20:52

Just built a new PC running Bazzite, running an AMD CPU (9800x3d) and GPU (9070XT). I tried a couple older games in my steam library, and they work beautifully. But I also play Melee using Slippi. I get a constant 60 FPS with no stutters, but the input latency, compared back to back with to Windows, is perceptibly worse. Things I've tried:

  1. My monitor is at 144hz
  2. I'm using the Vulkan backend (by switching to the beta Mainline build of Slippi)
  3. I think I'm using the USB port with the least amount of latency, but I can't be sure - is there a tool to find this? I'm a box player so Dolphin emulator doesn't show my polling rate.
  4. I don't see any way to enable AMD Anti-Lag since this is a native game
  5. I rebased to Bazzite testing to see if it was any better; I think it is but it could be placebo.

Is there anything I'm missing? Any way to enable AMD Anti-Lag if it's disabled on an OS level?

I'm not married to Bazzite and intend on switching to Cachy if no one has any suggestions for help. And as a last resort, I will use Windows on my other drive, but I don't want it to come to that!
