Amethyst Linux Mod Manager - A Mo2 inspired mod manager for linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 10:19

Hello,

I'd like to share something I've been working on for a while.

https://preview.redd.it/c88hjrap6emg1.png?width=1433&format=png&auto=webp&s=18132db180946ccb7b39d406201f68e1e3d70b29

Amethyst is a mod manager for Linux inspired by Mod Organiser. It is designed to look and behave in the same way. If you've used or use Mod Organiser it should feel very familiar. I've always like Mod organiser's UI but hated running it through Proton so I made this.

It has: separators for mod organisation, conflict resolution, Update and dependancy checking, Multiple profiles, FOMOD and LOOT support, nexus api support and more

Currently it supports these games.

  • Skyrim (Normal, SE and VR)
  • Fallout 3 (Normal and Goty)
  • Fallout 4 (Normal and VR)
  • Fallout New Vegas
  • Starfield
  • Oblivion
  • Baldur's Gate 3
  • Witcher 3
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Mewgenics
  • Stardew Valley
  • Kingdom Come Deliverance (1 and 2)
  • Subnautica
  • Subnautica Below Zero
  • The Sims 4
  • Tcg Card Shop Simulator
  • Lethal Company

The Application will also auto configure certain applications used to mod games like Skyrim, such as Pandora, Pgpatcher, SSEedit, etc by automatically setting the arguments used to run these so all you have to do is add the exe and run it. A full list of these working applications is on the github repo

My focus right now is making sure the features I've added work correctly instead of adding new features / game support.

Setup and usage instructions are on the github repo. Feel free to open an issue if any arise.

Should I use PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 or PROTON_FSR4_RDNA3_UPGRADE=1

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 09:49

I recently started using CachyOS. Yesterday saw these variables and tried them.

I am using these right now. Should I switch to "PROTON_FSR4_RDNA3_UPGRADE=1" instead?

Oscillation/Rumble with Direct Drive Wheel in Forza Title

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 09:38

Hey there, im new to Linux based OS and im running Garuda at the moment. I experience a weird Problem, shown in the video, using hid_fanatec in Forza Horizon 5. I narrowed it down might being a Problem how Forza handles the direct drive wheelbase in combination with Proton and hid_fanatec. When i used the Startflag SDL_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI=0 the oscillation on Loading Screen and rumble Ingame stopped, since no FFB at all is delivered. Im running Proton Experimental with this game and it sadly persists in every Proton Version i tried, which also wanted to start the game without crashing. (Proton 9.0-4; 8.0-5: 10.0-4; GE-Proton10-32).

Does anyone have a clue or a fix which is beyond my current understanding? I couldnt find anything anywhere. My current workaround is simply Boot on Windows and play it there, but its definately no fix im happy with.

Launching Hytale on NVIDIA GPU with Hyprism gets stuck in "Stop"

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 09:19

If I set "Integrated GPU" in the settings it works and launches almost instantly, but setting the dedicated NVIDIA gpu gets it stuck in "Stop".

Also, it can't be launched standalone, I get different errors regarding OpenGL. I've actually posted about this issue here.

How to run an environment variable only when a specific game is running?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 06:23

Newish to Linux sorry if this seems obvious!

I’m using Faugus to run Battle.net and specifically World of Warcraft. I’m running the environment variable to enable Nvidia smooth motion, but I only want it when WoW is running. Running the terminal every time I want to play to set it is going to get annoying. Is there anyway to automate it to start and stop when the Wow.exe process is running?

Can I fully utilize my TV with this cable? (HDMI 2.1 problem)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 04:04

Hey everyone, so you know how it is lately with AMD and the assh*les over at HDMI with the drivers. I've recently gotten a TV (TCL C6K) and was really excited I would be able to use my PC with Bazzite-deck to play all my games, but I realized I'm restricted to only HDMI 2.0 and I can only get 4k@120Hz with limited HDR and VRR.

I know a lot of people recommend getting something like a UGREEN DisplayPort to HDMI 2.1 adapter, but I live in a third world country and getting something like that means basically waiting 2 weeks and paying 3x the price, so I was checking out 'local' solutions and found this:

https://nisuta.com/producto/NSCADPHD8K

Will I be able to fully utilize my TV with this on Linux with an AMD GPU? I'll really appreciate any help, thanks!

Need Xbox App on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 03:37

Is there anyway to use the Xbox app on Linux? I need the social features, and the website is pretty much the bare minimum. I was wondering if there's any way possible for me to communicate with my Xbox friends and join parties, message them, etc on Linux. (Other than the website).

After installing the recent patch my game has become completely unplayable... I'm getting these weird lines shooting all over the screen. Would love to hear if anyone has any recommendations.

I have tried with and without DLSS setting enabled. Reinstalled the game, updated nvidia drivers and tried several Proton versions including experimental.

Library of Ruina visual crash after a scene

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 02:05

Library of Ruina crashes everytime after a scene ends on my laptop, but only visually the sound continues and input is still registered (able to tell from sound effects when pressing spacebar etc) Using the launch option "PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1" fixes the crash issue but refuses to play videos, which I'm scared will affect the story. I have already tried using the latest Proton-GE, but that did not solve the problem even with the launch option.

Witcher 3 help

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 01:06

Im trying to play the Witcher 3 with maxed settings. Want it to look as beautiful as possible. I had a fun idea to downgrade from 1440p 165hz to 1080p 300hz monitor, because I wanted the extra frames and some other reasons.

Now however it feels like my pc isn’t running the Witcher 3 as well as it did. Don’t want to use FSR 2 as it makes the background not as sharp and kind of blurry, and the other anti aliasing makes the game look weird.

My goal was just to get some more frames so that I could crank thE settings, make it look more nice, and still keep 130+ frames and be smoothe.

Any idea on what to do?

7 5700x3d

RE9, anyone else experiencing this?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. Februar 2026 - 23:50

I’m running CachyOS and I’ve updated everything today. Still, might be hard to see because of the fringing, but there are these glitches going from the center of the monitor out into the world, they also appear between random objects in the worldspace. This doesn’t happen at all in Windows, but happens in both CachyOS, normal Arch, and Ubuntu… anyone have the same issue?
