Trying to play a game and need C++

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. November 2025 - 16:04

I'm trying to play a game I installed with Lutris but I launch it it says I need to have C++ Runtime Installed.

I did some research and thought I could use winetricks to install it by doing "select default wineprefix" then "install windows DLL or component" and selecting "vcrun2019" but when I do that it gives me more errors.

Wine bug 50894, failing wusa.exe, returning status 102, aborting.

Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix it?

8BitDo Ultimate 2C XInput not working on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. November 2025 - 15:03

I have an 8BitDo Ultimate C that’s always worked flawlessly on Linux. It’s recognized as an Xbox controller, so it works out of the box in Steam games, Bottles, Heroic Launcher, etc.

I just got the newer Ultimate 2C, but it shows up as a Generic Controller. That means I have to rely on Steam Input to get it recognized in-game.

Is anyone else running into this? How can I make this controller be recognized as an Xbox input device, like the Ultimate C?

Some questions on Nvidia drivers (how they work, downgrading etc.)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. November 2025 - 13:53

Hello everyone, I had some questions about how nvidia drivers work since I recently had some issues regarding them, So from what I understand, nvidia drivers are compiled for specific kernel versions, so for example, nvidia driver version *a* was compiled for version *x* of linux kernel and therefore, that same version won't work in kernel version *y*, so now my question is,

A. Why does it work this way? why can't it be smoother and more flexible like in windows? Does AMD work the same way in linux?

B. How do I know which versions of the drivers are compiled against which kernel versions?

C. Why doesn't practically any Distro offer a smooth and safe way to downgrade drivers?

I'm asking all this because I've recently had to downgrade nvidia driver to version 575 because some of the games I play won't even launch on 580 (a confirmed issue with the driver and nothing else), therefore I had to manually install the drivers from nvidia's website and hold back kernel updates, so I was wondering why all of this is so complicated and painful.

I Have 3 Questions

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. November 2025 - 13:00

https://preview.redd.it/yoiqvrij61zf1.png?width=868&format=png&auto=webp&s=44d54cc9a680556ec00d231c3cc62f070450d04e

Hello, my English is bad, so I am writing in my native language, Turkish. Please excuse any mistakes I make.

1-) When I press the middle mouse button in Windows, the page scrolls, but here it pastes. How can I use the middle mouse button like in Windows?

2-) How can I move the top panel to the bottom?

3-) When I enter Dying Light, it doesn't recognize the RTX 3080 graphics card. It recognizes the AMD graphics card. How can I disable the AMD and make it recognize the RTX graphics card? CS 2 recognizes the RTX graphics card.

I would be very grateful if you could help me.

Issues with ARC Raiders on Mint

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. November 2025 - 12:15

okay, so this is a bit odd and i'm not sure what i'm missing, but i'm having issues booting the game.

to give some background though, i first installed it on my Steam Deck and it started up and ran just fine, no issues at all. then i installed it on my main rig running Mint: it'll get to the EasyAntCheat loading screen, the little command window for the anti cheat will open and close, then the loading screen will freeze and close, then the game goes from "Stop" to "Play" on Steam, indicating that the program has stopped.

i thought maybe it was an issue of the game requiring secure boot to be enabled, but the Steam Deck doesn't have it enabled by default so that shouldn't be the problem. i've tried multiple Proton versions and none seem to work. i'm kinda at a loss here.

any advice would be greatly appreciated (btw, "just don't use Mint" aint what i'm looking for).

I would like to switch to PikaOS...

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. November 2025 - 11:05

Hi folks, I would like to full switch to PikaOS (I like the Gnome version) from Windows 11 but I have some questions that I hope someone can answer...

1) I have a 144Hz TV with FreeSync and an AMD 6950XT GPU. Can I use FreeSync like I do now on Windows by enabling VRR in the AMD Control Panel? What's the equivalent setting on PikaOS Gnome Version?

2) In the AMD Control Panel on Windows there is a section dedicated to overclocking/undervolting...Is there something similar on Linux so I can undervolt my gpu as easily and seamlessly as on Windows?

3) I have the Vader 4 PRO controller, will the supplied wireless dongle work? I absolutely don't want to use Bluetooth because of the huge input lag...

4) I have the HyperX Cloud Alpha gaming headset with its adapter as well, same goes for the Vader 4 PRO, will they work out of the box?

5) Will I be able to play online games like Battlefield 6 without getting banned for some reason if I'm not using Windows but using Linux?

These are the 5 fundamental questions for me to know whether to make the switch or not...thanks to anyone who is able and willing to respond...

Hosting a server through something like Radmin VPN / Hamachi

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. November 2025 - 10:36

I want to host a dedicated game server for my friends and myself but I am unable to open ports (dynamic IP). For this reason I want to use on my linux machine something like Radmin VPN or Hamachi (but afaik Radmin does not work for linux and Hamachi does not work for my friend).

So which free software would you recommend to create a private network for me and my friends that would work both on Linux and Windows?
