I build a friend a pc with many second hand parts.

It has a: a10 6700, 1060 6vram, one single ddr3 8gb ram with Asus M11BB motherboard.

The hard drive is from 2013.

Bro just wants to play tf2 and cloverbit and other basic stuff like discord.

But when I start tf2 it loads in but is not loading into a game and is just freezing and then freezing the pc.

Idk what the direct issue is.. is it the hard drive or the ram ect?

At random times, the steam main window popups above my game window during gameplay which blocks the game window and takes away window focus. If anyone knows how to fix this steam issue or at least keep it from blocking my game window when it does happen help appreciated.

Some info I thought would be relevant (ask for more if you want):
OS: Debian

DE: Gnome

Steam Installation type: debian package(not flatpak)

HARD VOID is my solo project developed on Linux with pure C and OpenGL, and runs natively on Linux!
Early Access v0.11.x is now available!

HARD VOID is a Lovecraftian-themed 4X space turn-based strategy game in development.
Lead your custom species across galaxies and multiple dimensions to build an Empire. Design your spaceships, assemble your fleets, and fight for supremacy. But beware, unthinkable Eldritch horrors lurk in the vast darkness.

The changes consist of the expansion of ground unit mechanics, including ship/unit landing and take-off. Also a complete rebalance of ship/unit systems is done to accommodate the changes, some UI rework, performance improvements, and bugfixes.

In this update, the procedural generator of ground units its fairly functional, the division between ground and space units its blurring. You can design tanks and other ground units that can take off into space, use their warp engine, and land in enemy colonies.

There is no distinction between ground and space modules; any unit can have any module within the unit size constraints. The unit load capacity granted by land mobility modules allows units to move on the ground and resist gravity. if the unit load capacity is insufficient for the unit mass and gravity combination, it takes an agility penalty and damage proportional to the difference on landing.

In the next updates, sea and air units will be included.

Linux mint

I'm trying to get fallout: new vegas to run, and so far I already have it working and am able to use mods using steamtinkerlaunch, proton ge, and mo2. The final problem is that every few seconds a crackling/fizzy noise glitch happens.

my first try was downloading fnv-audio-fix and applying it to my game. I don't think I did it properly because I applied it to the location of the game in my drive, and not the location that proton uses. I can't find the location of 22380 where I think I need to apply the fnv-audio-fix. I also tried adding WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" %command% to the launch options, but that didn't work either.

hi. i have a problem launching genshin impact on arch linux.

the game simply does not start. i tried multiple launchers:

• hoyoplay via portproton
• an anime game launcher
• twintail launcher
• heroic launcher

the issue does not seem to be related to the distribution. i already tried several:

• cachyOS (KDE)
• endeavourOS (KDE)
• arch linux (current system, KDE)

my pc specs:

• ryzen 5 3600x
• rx 5700xt
• 16 gb ram

vulkan seems to work correctly and the radv driver is detected.

driverError.log

game.log

i’m not sure if the gamemode error is the cause or just a warning.

has anyone encountered this before or knows how to fix it?
any help would be appreciated

I am using Linux on my Chromebook in an attempt to install and run PCSX2. I am so close, yet so far!

I am using this command to launch the setup guide: flatpak run net.pcsx2.PCSX2

Step 1 requires me to select a language. I pick English (or whatever the default is) and click next.

Step 2 requires me to select a BIOS. I do this, and click next.

Step 3 is 'Game Directories', which is to select a location where I have my PS2 ROMs. No matter what folder I select, it will cause a crash.

And I don't know how to move forward from this. Since I have tried this 100 times with the same result, I am trying to troubleshoot solutions.

Here is what it says in the terminal:

crostermiller@penguin:~$ flatpak run net.pcsx2.PCSX2
qt.qpa.wayland: Ignoring unexpected wl_surface.enter received for output with id: 7 screen name: "Screen6" screen model: "unknown" This is most likely a bug in the compositor.
The Wayland connection broke. Did the Wayland compositor die?

How do I get the setup guide to stop crashing every time?

My gf and I both got The Crew: Motorfest and we both use Linux (Fedora 42 KDE)
we noticed the games runs terribly and we both have identical PCs with game installed on SSD

RX 9060XT
Ryzen 5 5600x
1080p
32GB ram

i noticed after leaving the game in the menu for 10 minutes, the game achieves 60 fps but then drops back to low 20s after going to a new area. its unplayable. ive tried so many things. updated and downgraded drivers, many launch commands, uninstalling OBS, you name it. anyone know what to do?

Is there any such benchmark available?

I understand that the game is likely not disk IO bottlenecked, but LUKS also uses CPU, so there is less CPU to go for the game when there's IO.

I do wonder the impact.

I have an NVMe drive with Windows 11 installed. On that NVMe I also have a partition where I store my Steam games.

Recently I installed Linux Mint on an SSD, and I wanted to play the games that are already installed on the Windows partition. So I tried to make Steam recognize the NVMe partition where the Steam games are stored.

When I select the disk from the file browser inside Steam, it doesn’t add it to the library drives list. I assume this is because the partition is formatted as NTFS, and Linux doesn’t allow Steam to properly use it.

I wanted to know if there’s any solution so I don’t have to keep the same Steam library duplicated on both operating systems.

Good day guys,

I am currently using the following system:

RTX 4070

Ryyzen 9 5900X

64GB DDR4 Ram

I do stream, but via a dual PC Setup. Meaning: I just need an virtual audio mixer to send the audio through.

But the most important thing for now: How viable is linux with an RTX 4070? How are the drivers, the FPS compared to windows? CAN the switch ACTUALLY work fine?

(sry if wrong flair) I am using Zorin OS 18 Core, and i have an EXE of a VR game. If it was a normal EXE I would just run it thru lutris, but lutris doesn't have VR. What do I use to run the game, do I use SteamVR or ALVR or what? I'm sorry, I just recently did the full switch to Linux because I was sick of microslop and I'm kind of new in Linux VR. Thanks in advance!

Hey! I swapped to Bazzite six months ago or so, and everything has been glorious. Except. An on-again-off-again friends group of mine is angling back into being on-again, and our go-to least-common-denominator game has always been League of Legends ARAMS. And clearly that won't work for me now. So I was hoping people here have some suggestions.

We're not actually after a moba experience, so are not interested in DOTA2 or Deadlock. It's the ARAM feel where you drop in and are immediately in the action we're after. It should not have a fixed number of players required (we have and love Root but it's not fun unless you have four bodies, and ARAMS flex from 2 to 5). And ideally it would be structured into rounds or games in the 15-30 minute time frame.

TF2 was a miss for me, because the community is so entrenched it was impossible to approach as a new player who isn't great at shooters. I just spent all my time dead. And as a group we've never quite clicked with games like Left 4 Dead where one person needs to be a controller/director.

Various members of the group have previously enjoyed looter-shooters, and I adore Mass Effect 3 multiplayer style squad extraction. But several of us have machines that are ~5 years old, so bleeding-edge graphics are sort of iffy.

We're currently talking about Overcooked and Eternal Return, and possibly Peak. What else should we look into?

Hello!

Long time Linux user, but complete noob in Linux gaming here. I realized yesterday that the only reason I still keep Windows installed on my machine, to play Age of Empires 4, may not be a reason to keep dual booting since gaming in Linux has come such a long way.

I have an Intel B580 GPU and Debian 13 (Wayland). When I try to play AoE the menus works fine, but when the game starts the screen is mostly black apart from the HUD stuff. I can see faint outlines of buildings and trees and such. I have played around with the settings and if I disable shadows I can see everything sometimes, but the screen flickers and goes dark again.

I tried using the backported kernel, mesa-vulkan-drivers, and libvulkan1 to no avail.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D works fine, but looks like sheite. :)
This at least points to Vulkan being the culprit.

I also tried GE-Proton with PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1, but no dice.

So as a last resort in my mission to ditch Windows once and for all I turn to you all for wisdom. Anyone here having the same issue? Is gaming in Linux simply crap for Intel ARC?

So guys, I got ESO for free last year, from epic, now I was trying to install it on my arch Linux laptop (sway), but it wasn't working and giving a window timed out please restart your launcher error, or something along those lines. I installed some stuff from wine tricks including dotnet40 dotnet48 dvxk and a handful of other stuff(I don't remember what exactly cause and I don't have my laptop currently with me to be able to confirm). I also tried a couple of different wine-ge and proton-ge versions. I also disabled umu launcher. And, after all this, atleast the error wasn't coming up, and I believe the launcher started in the background. I confirmed this by going on btop and searching up elder, and then I saw ig a setup.exe, or a zog something, I could provide a screenshot, but like I said earlier, I don't have my laptop on me currently. Sorry if I didn't provide enough information. Please help me fix this, and let me know if you need any more information. Oh and before, when the error was coming up, in heroic, the play button would go from playing to launch after crashing (which would occur at around 30 seconds after launch). But when I fixed that and the game started launching in the background, it just stayed on playing until I closed it myself.

I recently started dual booting debian and, after some trial and error I managed to install the drivers for my gpu. I wanted to play some CS2 and I get this error (I known my Laptop is powerful enough, since it works on the windows partition). I've included both fastfetch and nvidia-smi results.
