Does FModel (Unreal Engine assets ripper) work on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. November 2025 - 17:04

I'm kinda looking to primarily use EndeavourOS or CachyOS, but haven't installed it yet cuz no idea which is better for my RTX 4050. But there's one thing that's bothering my mind. I often extract assets from UE games for wiki stuff, but apparently FModel is Windows only. I can dual boot but getting it run on Linux is more convenient (just in case if I want to fully move from Windows later). Does anyone use FModel here? I wonder if it works with Proton, considering it's not a game.

The Outer Worlds 2 without having ray tracing?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. November 2025 - 17:01

Been playing TOW2 on 9800X3D/5090/ArchLinux, and it's been rock solid... except that you need ray tracing enabled, otherwise the game just hangs. Kind of annoying because ray tracing tanks performance...

Has anyone figured out a way to play it without having ray tracing enabled? Or atleast have an explanation to why it's needed? I haven't encountered this issue in any other game.

Beginner : is there a KDE distro as simple as Linux Mint

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. November 2025 - 16:46

Hi,

I was using Linux Mint with my AMD GPU, favorite distro so far. Then I got my Nvidia GPU and moved to a Debloated Windows because of the DX12 / general performances lost.

Since then, we have open-source drivers building up and the DX12 issue will soon be fixed, so I think it's finally my time to come back .. + Windows is a very frustrating experience.

If I understand, KDE is the way to go for Wayland and VRR, but I never used KDE and I'm afraid to get lost. I would like some advice from you, thanks.

Missing frames on Waven

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. November 2025 - 15:58

I'm currently trying to run Waven on Linux via Steam and Proton. Everything works fine except for one thing... The game seems to miss some frames every second.

My specs : - Intel core i7 13 gen - Nvidia rtx 4070 - Ubuntu 24.04.3 - Niri (a Wayland WM)

What I have tried so far: - run without graphic card enabled (prime) - turn on/off vsync - use PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 launch option - tried several refresh rate (60, 144, 240)

Any help is welcome !!

Minecraft keeps crashing, any help?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. November 2025 - 15:21

Okay, this one is weird. Every time I launch MC, regardless of launcher *(I've used Curseforge, Prism, and the MC launcher for linux)* it'll run fine for a bit, and then either the entire system freezes or the application closes (the former has stopped happening lately).

I can even get into a server for a few seconds before the crash every now and again, anyone got any suggestions?

EDIT: Forgot to say that I'm using Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon.

Ray Tracing reaches out to mainstream android smartphones at a very fast pace.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. November 2025 - 15:15

The Qualcomm Adreno 825 GPU is part of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC in Smartphones and just came out in April 2025. But many vendors already offer it in middle class smartphones.

MediaTek supports this feature in their even more affordable budget SoCs namely the Dimensity 8300 and 8400 SoC in the form of Arm's Mali-G615 or G720 GPU.

Usually Ray Tracing is told to consume lots of energy but this is wrong. If implemented closer to fixed function hardware it is possible efficiently at low watt consumption. Imagination Technologies demonstrated this many yeargs ago way earlier before Nvidia's marketing made RT go mainstream. Imagination Technologies offers licenses for up to level 5 ray tracing in their mobile GPU architectures which can be obtained by GPU vendors worldwide. Those can be combined with Arm and RISC-V CPUs and other ISAs.

Another prominent example of highly efficient ray tracing is the Switch 2, which consumes only 10 watts compared to the Steam Deck's 25 watts.

Surprisingly or unsurprisingly the spread and adoption of new hardware features like these seems to happen way faster in arm based smartphone devices in comparison to desktop PCs.

It would be interesting to see Steam OS or another game focused Linux Distro running on such smartphones and to utilize these kind of features. This surely would depend on many factors like a proper ecosystem, wayland, emulation, translation and other things like porting dxvk, vkd3d, proton and the steam client to arm.

Is this too far stretched or would it be possible?

the proton log:
https://hastebin.com/share/efuxujiren.ruby

What I've tried so far:
Different proton versions, including latest GE (10-25)
Launching with various options, like WINED3D and -dx11
Tried pretty much anything that https://www.protondb.com/app/1805480 outlined

I can't pinpoint what is wrong in the log, as I searched almost every warn and fixme online.
All other games I own work just fine. I suspected it's something to do with Unreal Engine 4, or Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, although an UE3 game was running just fine.

Anything else I should test for to get more info? Appreciate any help.
