Games on Lutris (using Wine) tend to stutter after 40 ish minutes of playing.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. November 2025 - 23:21

Playing games like Cyberpunk, Metro exodus the games just start to microstutter, all it needs is a restart and its fixed but anoying though.
I dont have mangohud or whatever other trick to fix it. Only playing it via Wine (latest version) and playing it on Lutris and the problems seem to occur only on Lutris and not Steam (using proton 9.04)

My specs:
DE: Debian Trixie Cinamon version 6.4.10
CPU: AMD ryzen 5 7600X3D
64 GB of RAM (yes, overkill i know)
GPU: AMD RX6800 Master 16 GB
Running at 60 Hz (due to old HDMI cable, but its gonna be changed this month)

Every other game on steam is playing just fine, but not on Lutris.
I have read something about a LD command, but thats using gamescope or steam.

Why are similar GPU-undervolts working better under Bazzite compared to Windows?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. November 2025 - 23:11

Hello everyone,

I bought a 9070 XT and configured a Dual Boot System (Win11 / Bazzite).

Under Win 11 i used Adrenaline to set my GPU voltage offset to -90mV, -15% Powerlimit.

I played Diablo 4 for a while and got regular driver crashes after 5-10 minutes. Same results with -80mV and -70mV. -40mV was stable.

I used the same settings under Bazzite using LACT, instead of Adrenaline. -90mV is stable in Diablo 4.

Why is Linux more stable with undervolting compared to Windows 11?

Thank you for your help :)

OSRS crashes when using GPU plugins

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. November 2025 - 22:59

I'm trying to play osrs via bolt and for some reason whenever I enable a gpu oriented plugin it causes my entire system to freeze, i have the following in dmesg -

[27991.068405] amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: Dumping IP State [27991.069702] amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: Dumping IP State Completed [27991.069785] amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: [drm] AMDGPU device coredump file has been created [27991.069787] amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: [drm] Check your /sys/class/drm/card2/device/devcoredump/data [27991.069790] amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: ring gfx_0.0.0 timeout, signaled seq=14044038, emitted seq=14044040 [27991.069795] amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: Process java pid 29254 thread java:cs0 pid 29294 [27991.069799] amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: Starting gfx_0.0.0 ring reset [27991.069949] amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: Ring gfx_0.0.0 reset succeeded [27991.069952] amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: [drm] device wedged, but recovered through reset

I'm on wayland with a 7900xtx and have never had any issue like this, im assuming some api call is causing my gpu driver to crash at the kernel level based off dmesg but im not really sure what to do about that

Ghost Recon Breakpoint

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. November 2025 - 22:49

Been trying to get the game running through lutris, steam and ubisoft connect. All it says is ''Unable to connect to Uplay PC''. Nothing has worked. I have tried to disable EAC by uninstalling it, disabling it, putting -eac_launcher in my launch properties, tried every version of proton, does anyone have a fix? Even an attempt at trying to help would be greatly appreciated as getting this game to run became my project for the entire day. I am on linux mint btw. Thanks in advance.

Need suggestion for CPU cooler for new build. Any other advice is appreciated ☺️

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. November 2025 - 22:39

I'm in the process of upgrading my gaming PC. In the process I'm taking all of the old components and building a gaming PC for my girlfriend's son.

Everything will now be Linux (CachyOS for gaming PC's). I've tested the 9070xt on my current build and I love it!

I'm planning switching my CPU to a ryzen 9800x3d with a b850 aorus elite Mobo. This will all be in this chassis: Fractal Design Torrent Black E-ATX Tempered Glass Window High-Airflow Mid Tower Computer Case

Does anyone have any recommendations on cooling for it? Liquid cooling preferred if that's optimal.

I also wouldn't mind any other tweaks or options that are niche that could be recommended. (Replacement fans, etc.) I also haven't purchased RAM yet. But I don't think this will be a big deal.

CS2 doesn't running on KDE Plasma

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. November 2025 - 22:18

Hello, everyone. I need some help. I installed KDE Plasma on Fedora 42 (GNOME 48 was originally installed and worked for a long time, but then it was removed) and decided to play CS2, but the game won't start. It displays the message:

"Failed to initialize Vulkan.
Make sure your driver and graphics processor support Vulkan 1.2+."

However, CS2 ran without any problems on GNOME 48 on the SAME system. The drivers have been installed for a long time.

Btw here is the system information:
OS › Fedora Linux 42 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition) x86_64
KER › Linux 6.16.7-200.fc42.x86_64
DE › KDE Plasma 6.5.1
CPU › Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H (12) @ 5.00 GHz
GPU › NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q [Discrete]
GPU › Intel UHD Graphics @ 1.15 GHz [Integrated]

btw sorry for my english XD

Stability of AMD Graphics Solutions in Late 2025

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. November 2025 - 22:15

Hi Redditors, Linuxers & Gamers,

a rough scan of this subreddit brings to light: Most Users would suggest to use AMD graphics cards with Linux.

My question is: What is the current state in terms of the stability? Are there still a cases of frequent crashes (not only when gaming), where no root cause can be found?

The reason I'm asking: I'm not up-to-date anymore, but I've had a huge headache years before, which is why my system is working on very low budget gfx solutions since (currently an NVIDIA GeForce GT 730). The related bugs still can be found at gitlab (e.g. AMD's 892 and 914).

A quick recap: Not every user was affected, silicon lottery played its part, the crashes happened very erratically & the root causes seemed to be a mystery. Also the AMD devs involved couldn't find a definite solution for a long time (if ever). According to them it was also a complex of different problems.

For me it was a 5500 XT. After a lot of exchange and tinkering I've switched to a new 5600 XT (iirc) and it was stable - for a month, then the card suddenly died. I gave up and lowered my expectations. The temporary low-end solution became permanent.

But now that the GT 730 is unsupported by nVidia I'd like to give it a try with a current AMD card again. Also I'd like to play a few games from time to time with a decent frame rate. Not to say: Connecting more than one monitor.

This is not solely related to gaming but rather a general issue. But you guys are relying on stable hardware and surely have a good knowledge about the graphics card status-quo. So what do you say - should I give it a try?

Thanks!

arc raiders keeps crashing

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. November 2025 - 22:09

hi guys,

i am running arc raiders on ubuntu 24.04 with 128gb of ram, 2tb of storage and a 4090, but the game can crash if: - open a picture in the chat of a discord. - refresh a browser screen.

there is no consistency on what actions in the apps can cause the crash but i can refresh something like amazon.com and the game can crash. or i can switch my status on discord and the game can crash.

i installed brave and discord using snap fwiw and i tried setting up gamemode but no dice. i also have nvidia driver 580

i also have steam set to use proton experimental.

do you guys have any tips? i am thinking of switching to bazzite but i am trying to avoid any forks of the base distros if possible.

thanks guys!

Favorite distro? and why do people not like Wayland?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. November 2025 - 22:05

I recently migrated over from Windows 11 to Linux Mint than tried a few distros. Mint is amazing outside of the fact that it doesn't work well with Wayland. This becomes an issue if you use high-resolution monitors like 4k where you need DPI scaling or the fonts are to small.

I tried the experimental version with fractional DPI enabled and games would refuse to launch on Steam.

Next tried Garuda, wonky user-interface full of blinding colors, next.

Manjaro, it hard locked the GUI when I tried to change the desktop theme. Next.

Finally landed on Endeavor OS. Very stable, no forced wonky themes and interface scaling works perfect. Comes with wayland out of the box. Zero issues so far. My only complaint is no built in GUI interface for installing apps. Terminal is scary.

Easy Anti Cheat error on cachyOS (dualboot)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. November 2025 - 21:37

HI, I recently started dual booting windows 11 and cachyOS.
I've been trying to use my preexisting files for steam and epic games through wine and I managed to get it to work perfectly (except for some minor issues), but on both of them I get error 1 when trying to launch games that use EAC.
Is there any solution or do I have no other option but to make new installations for linux?
