Minecraft perfomance in 26.2 snapshot 2

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. April 2026 - 12:05

When i learned about the latest snapshot already having Vulkan support and decided to test it. But strangely enough, my FPS actually lowered. With OpenGL, same settings and same world, i am getting about 500 FPS.
Surely it's not my PC, i tried VulkanMod on 1.21.11 and got about 1500 FPS (not constant, but always above 1k frames)

So i am curious, what about your experience?

My setup:
CachyOS
Ryzen 7 5700X
AMD Radeon RX 7600
32 GB DDR4

Gpu detection is emulators

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. April 2026 - 11:59

I'm using a laptop running arch on legacy Nvidia drivers

I recently installed some emulators like rpcs3, pcsx2 and dolphin and none of them detect my dedicated gpu instead only my integrated one.

I feel like I can squeeze some performance out of my 940mx but I can't for the life of me use this Intel hd 630

I'm pretty sure it's not a driver issue since steam detects it just fine

have I missed a step or did something wrong?

AMD Rewards and Linux Gamers - A Warning

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. April 2026 - 10:57

This is my recent experience with AMD Rewards being a Linux user.

I hope others are not hitting this issue but thought it would be good to put down my experience as a warning

I bought a new AMD graphics card on the 9th March from a verified retailer.

I received a game code at the same time for Crimson Desert (code valid until 19th May)

I logged in to AMD Rewards, I already had an account, and registered the code.

I downloaded the script, which I knew would likely not work correctly as I have previously gone through this process for a previous graphics card, and sure enough even after making it executable it could not work out what graphics card I had.

As mentioned I have had this problem before, and resolved that by opening a support ticket.

So I did this again, opened a support ticket, explained I am on Linux and have ran the script which did not work.

First interaction was to make sure my code was valid.

Next I was asked for a copy of my invoice, nothing odd here I was asked last time, which I then provided.

These interactions took place over three days up until 12th March.

All pretty quick and much the same as my previous communications for the previous game I got.

Then radio silence.

I hear nothing for a week, I send a request for an update

Then 2 weeks. So I send a request for an update

Here we are on the 10th April, no communication, no update, after multiple requests for an update.

I do not believe I am getting the code for my game and if I go truly tin foil hat moment I suspect people at the AMD Rewards support side are probably taking them.

There does not appear to be an escalation process and no other support contacts other than the main contact address so I think at this stage I am out of luck but thought it would be good to bring it to others attention in case they are factoring in the price of the game to the cost of the graphics card as a sweetener to justify the cost, I know I was, that you might not get the game.

If anyone knows how I can escalate this it would be appreciated.

How do i reset game configuration options in steam without reinstalling a game?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. April 2026 - 09:40

Running cachyos on an nvidia optimus laptop.

I've had ongoing problems from a few games (cs source, Fist full of frags and mechwarrior online) that have been freezing, using the wrong gpu and forcing limited resolution options in game that were lower than my native screen res.

I managed to get Lutris to install finally and imported what it would pick up of my steam library. CSS stopped having it issues and let me change the res to native.

For mechwarrior online i had to set it up in Lutris manually and the problems that it had under steam came with it. Still only letting me set the res to 1534 x something something and freezing after a while.

So apart from reinstalling how can i reset the games options. I'm assuming it's something in the proton settings that are causing the issue. Where can i find and reset these? I've tried setting the resolution in the user.cfg file mwo uses but that did nothing.

RE3 and 4 Remakes modding

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. April 2026 - 03:58

Is there a good tutorial on how to get mods running with these? I tried just getting fluffy mod manager from Nexus and from the fluffy website but no matter what I do the mods don't load into the game, skins, weapons, nothing.
I even tried what is outlined here in this post with no luck.

Black mesa crashing after about 20 minutes or so.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. April 2026 - 02:18

Since i started using proton 9 on black mesa, the game always crashes after 20 minutes or so, or after a certain amount of loads, and then i usually get an out memory error, that suggets to lower the texture quality. I lowered it to minimium, yet i still get the crash.

Specs:

gpu: rtx 4060

cpu: i5-12400F

ram: 32gb ddr4

os: mint 22.3
