Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Januar 2026 - 19:43

Cross-Posting for hopefully some advice.

Resolution changes on game start-up.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Januar 2026 - 19:15

Hi, y'all.

I'm trying to launch eufloriaHD on Steam using Linux Mint 22.2.

Current resolution is 1920 as per, but when I launch the game, the whole system drops to 640.

I've included screenshots to show what I mean, and I've used Terminal to get everything back to normal, but I still can't play the game.

Any ideas?

My Finished BC-250 Build

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Januar 2026 - 19:04

First off, here is the case: https://www.thingiverse.com/make:1249298

I have made some modifications to mine, mostly in terms of slight scaling increase to fit my PSU, modifying the front panel to accept my power button, and cut down the original fan shroud/mount smaller so that you can actually see the BC-250 itself which was otherwise 95% hidden behind it. There's been no change in thermals and if anything it's better.

This case has an awesome design to route some of the air behind the board to cool the ram and vent out the top of the other side of the case. It effectively vents air on 3 sides - front, rear, opposite side. With a 2ghz OC on the GPU, max temps under max GPU and CPU load was about 81C, but in games like Cyberpunk 2077, observed temps are like 61C.

Overall I'm really happy with the way this project came out and the BC-250 itself is a hell of a lot of fun to play with.

Currently running official SteamOS which has been fine so far. Aside from the 2ghz OC, any other tweaks that any of you think are worth exploring?

Apocalyptic Vibes Demo - GZDoom

Gamers on Linux - 08. Januar 2026 - 16:31
Apocalyptic Vibes is a Fallout-ish first person shooter made for the GZDoom engine. Play as a waste-lander who wanders the ruins of the old world. Wield scrapped pistols, rifles, knives and scavenge any nutrients you can find. There is no forgiving people in the wasteland... take aim, shoot first, ask question later.

I was able to play Apocalyptic Vibes in Heroic Launcher with the windows version using Proton Experimental. But I was also able to install GZDoom for Linux and it and...

I Compiled My Windows-Styled Tycoon Game to Run in Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Januar 2026 - 16:29

Game is Malware Tycoon on Steam if anyone's interested. I started using Linux full-time maybe about 6 months ago, so instead of switching to Windows (🤢) to compile test builds, I figured I may as well just give the game full on Linux support.

Single prefix

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Januar 2026 - 15:48

is it possible to just use single prefix for all of my games? i think it can free up some space, then use different prefix if some games need special components/tweaks.

Accessing a Boot file created in Proton?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Januar 2026 - 15:43

I started playing Osu, and it's been fun, but when I installed it I installed it by adding the installer exe to Steam and enabling Proton, but this means the new runner for the game is in some file somewhere that I don't know, and don't know how to access. How might I add that file to my Steam Library so I don't have to go through the installer each time?

(I'm on Bazzite if it makes a difference)

I guess I'm old

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Januar 2026 - 15:04

I find the argument that Linux is too hard for gaming argument amusing. I started gaming when most PCs had less than 1 meg of RAM (640K usable and 384K for system usage) available to use and we had to twist ourselves into pretzels with custom CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files for just about any game you got.

Figuring out if you hardware would even run it, any special drivers for your video card, and memory utilization were often done through trial and error. Piracy was rampant so if you couldn't get it to run, there was no taking a game back to the store. The web didn't exist back then so we used bulletin boards to try to find solutions if we were lucky enough to have a modem.

Seeing the complaints about trying to get a game to run on Linux is just funny and sad.
