Hello, I recently purchased 4k60fps HDMI dummy plug. I am trying to run my system Headless with ressolution of 1440p 144hz with Sunshine streaming server set up.

Right now I am encounering issuese with Xrandr utility where if I create custom mode for that hdmi dummy plug. I can't select it in setting menu or force it with xrandr --output VGA1 --mode "1440@144".

Where is the problem guys? I am loosing my mind from this.

forcing xrand --output makes screen flick for 2 seconds before defaulting to 1080p60.

same script work on my main PC no issues.

In the same why I have a tablet driver installed for osu - that the driver is not running until I open up a program to make those calls for it to be active with my tablet plugged in, so in vanguard.

vgc.exe is not running, nor is the service running until valorant launches (and soon / eventually league). I have used every program I can find by microsoft to see every exact process that is running, and vanguard is never found unless valorant is open.

Newest article from Riot on Vanguard.

Per their words as well:

Vanguard is not really "running all the time." The driver loads at boot, but nothing is making calls to it, and there's no network connectivity until you run one of Riot's games. It's literally just sitting there (menacingly), so that it can attest to the fact that nothing's happened between Windows loading and the game starting that would break the operating system.

When you launch League, the Vanguard client contacts the driver to confirm that it thinks everything is 100%, and if so, you receive a valid anti-cheat session and may connect to the game server. Instructions from the client then start enabling features within the driver to watch for things that might tamper with the signed League process and prevent them. You can always disable the driver whenever you'd like-you'll just need a fresh reboot to "recertify" the integrity of the trust chain before you jump into game.

So can we chill now? Funny how this article was posted 24 hours ago and everyone just seems to ignore this, once again. The argument is very old and un-amusing to say its "a rootkit running all the time probably collecting all your data!" or "it makes other games crash!" or "makes your pc run worse!" which indeed none of these are true.

For those who might use a VM / GPU passthrough to play league, you will have 0% performance impact, because the driver is just there to make sure your device is trusted.

I'm a newbie to Linux systems, I had experience only with Ubuntu and Debian. I saw a post on this subreddit where a guy was like "OH GOSH!! I INSTALLED GARUDA LINUX, INSTALLED GAMES AND OH SHOOT! IT WORKS!!!", He was so glad, and I thought that installing games on Linux is a big pain in ass (Cuz I had a lot of problems with it too).

There's a lot of troubles I had while using Ubuntu and Debian, for example - for some reason a lot of stutters and stable 5 fps in games on linux systems (Maybe I poorly install drivers?), besides, I have nvidia videocard.

So, I'd like to use a distro without any damn crashes, with working games and with decent interface. (Common distros like ubuntu and debian are welcome)

Thanks for your replies! (If I'll get any)

Last year I tried using MX Linux 23 and Mint Debian Edition as my primary os for gaming, GTA IV worked fine and I know that Blur 2010 Game will work ok in Lutris Flatpak or Deb package, its GTA V I am kinda concerned about.

In Windows 10 Debloated I get between 10 to 20 fps with good frame timing but it does hang up sometimes, I particularly blame Windows 10 since a lot of stuff I had to remove.

Got 5 fps last time in Mint in 2023 in GTA V.

I mean I would love and just love to get back on Linux again since I have been on and off since the Windows 8 fiasco. I really am starting to even hate debloated Windows 10 and I just don't want any version of Windows after this on any and any hardware.

Can you please tell if anything has improved even with uwu lutris update, can I play GTA 4 and 5 side by side without dealing with any trouble? This is really keeping me away from Linux for the time being. Advice needed please?

Are many people here using hyprland? It’s my first tiling window manager and gaming is pretty hit or miss. Gamescope helps in a few but games like halo infinite are just hanging during startup for me.

Hi, I'm having issue with games like COD all series, NMS, many other games using Lutris.
I'm using Nixos with hyprland, few people saying it's mouse acceleration. I still don't understand if it's a issue.
Problem: Mouse moving uncontrollably, like if i move up/down or left/right it moves different than what I'm doing.
Normal usage of mouse works fine along with other games like CS2, Apex legends works completely fine.

Here is the video proof of what happening, it like mouse movements are predefined.
Uploaded video in YT as this channel doesn't allow video upload.

whatever my mouse movement is it always moves it's own ways. not following my mouse movement.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to open a serious discussion about the competitive online gaming, hoping it won't end up like the the two post about LoL and Vanguard where half of the comments were "lol is bad, who cares?" or "why no server side only anticheat?!".

I'll still quote the core part about the linux issue according to riot:

Linux does not currently afford us sufficient ability to attest boot state or kernel modules, and the difficulty in securing it is only compounded by all the frustrating differences between distributions. Even allowing emulation is an exceptionally dangerous game, as many cheats could then just run on the host, manipulating or analyzing the VM in a way that would be invisible to Vanguard within it.

Half of anti-cheat is making sure the environment hasn't been tampered with, and this is extremely hard on Linux by design

It's not the first time that I read something like when it come to anticheat. We all love linux because how free and moddable it is. You can even easily change kernel on any distribution! But when it comes to anticheat that's apparently a huge issue.

Server side anticheat are basically useless against scripts and aimbots according to riot, and it will probably get worse thanks to AI. So you need both the server and the client anticheat in order to block as much cheaters as possible. Like every defense it won't be perfect (hardware cheaters will always be impossible to detect) but at least they will stop most of them.

​

So in the end: do you think there will be a solution for competetive games on linux? Or it will just always be impossible to have them?

Its just not possible, it freezes, crashes, everything I do is worthless. Tried proton, native, lower resolution but nothing works. Can anyone help me make this work out?

Does anybody know if there is a software that allows similar control as to co stroller companion on windows?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/367670/Controller_Companion/

It makes using a controller to control a machine a breeze. Pressing start select at the same time will switch the controller between mouse mode (left analog stick moves mouse) and controller mode. You can also set shortcuts and commands to buttons while in mouse mode. It is also generally pretty smart that when you enter a full screen app it will automatically enter controller mode.

I've done some searching and I havnt found anything that will quite work like that. Just wondering if anyone has heard of something like that. I want to use Linux as a tv/game streaming box and I found controller companion was useful as it would prevent having to reach for a kb+mouse in almost all cases.

Hi everyone, I'm facing a problem with Starbound on Linux. The game never opens and is frozen on the home screen. I've already tried opening Starbound - Unstable, but it seems that it also has problems, as the mod workshop and other resources are gone. Could anyone help me get the original Starbound to run on my Linux Fedora 39? I'm looking forward to finishing the game's story mode.

Valve pushed out a new upgrade to Proton Experimental, their staging ground for public-testing of what will eventually make its way into a main Proton release for playing Windows games on Linux Desktop and Steam Deck. The April 12th update is quite an interesting one too.

Ludeon Studios just released RimWorld - Anomaly, a huge new expansion to the colony-building sim filled with all sorts of crazy looking horrors.

So on windows, I had eu4 with not owned dlcs, and I could play with them when I launched the game with its exe. However, on linux, I can't launch it with the exe. Well, I can launch it, with wine, but when I do I get a "steam can't verify the ownership of the game" error. I've tried adding the exe file to steam and launching it with proton and without, but with that the game doesn't even launch. I've tried removing dlc's with both of these solutions btw. The game works just fine if I turn it on normally with steam, but then it doesn't have the dlcs, so it's basically unplayable. Any ideas?

Problem: can't launch the game with its exe file, eu4 to be specific. Steam can't verify the ownership.

Tried solutions: Adding the exe to steam, using proton, removing dlcs. Using wine, removing dlcs.

Linux: Mint 21.3 x86_64, kernel 6.5.0-1019-oem.

My main way of interacting with my friends in by playing online games. Mostly helldivers 2 and Valorant right now. But a lot of online games including the aforementioned have kernel level anti cheats. Which i am personally not comfortable with. Is there any way to safely play these games E.g. trough a virtual machine?

Ps i play these online games on windows dualboot currently. Though i am not very happy about the anticheats i still wanna game with my friends.

Palworld is set to expand in multiple big ways, which actually sounds quite exciting with a whole lot of new content set to arrive in the monster catching game.

Inspired by classic arcade games, PathBlasters looks like an absolute gem that deserves some attention mixing in some fun gameplay elements with a bit of a competitive edge to it.
