I’ve installed some repacked games on Lutris and am running them using Wine-GE. However, I’ve been facing persistent input issues. The games constantly switch input modes — for example, the UI keeps flickering between showing the X button and the Spacebar, and neither input actually works when pressed. In another title, the icons keep toggling between Xbox and PS4 controller layouts, making gameplay frustrating.

I considered running the games through Steam using Proton instead, but ran into a different set of problems:

With Steam Input enabled: The game displayed Xbox controller icons, even though Steam correctly recognized my PS4 controller. Interestingly, rumble worked fine both in-game and in Steam’s controller configuration.

With Steam Input disabled: The game correctly displayed PS4 controller icons and seemed to recognize the controller properly, but rumble stopped working — both in the game and in Steam's settings.

So far, I haven’t been able to find a setup that gives me both the correct input icons and working rumble. It's been a bit of a juggling act trying to get everything working smoothly.

Let me know if you’d like a version tailored for a forum post, bug report, or support ticket.

This guide will go over how to install the RSDKModManager for the the RSDKv3 (Sonic CD), RSDKv4 (Sonic 1, Sonic 2), and RSDKv5 (Sonic Mania) decompilations.

Step 1: Install Wine and Dotnet

First you need to install wine and winetricks which can be done very easily on debian with

sudo apt-get install wine winetricks

Then you need to install dotnet through winetricks with

winetricks dotnet45

Step 2: Run the RSDKModManager with Wine

Now you can simply run the RSDKModManager with if you are in the same directory as the Mod Manager with

wine RSDKModManager.exe

Important Notes:

Some important things to mention are that one-click mod installs don't work using this method meaning you still have to manually put the mod files inside the mod directory of the decompilation but it still provides an advantage in that you can still enable/disable mods and adjust the mod order without needing to edit a .ini file manually

Hey everybody, I'm gonna start by saying that I'm an absolute noob in Linux. My idea was to dual boot my PC with Windows and Linux (using Debian as distro), so I could use Windows to play games and Linux to work/study and everyday use basically. I wanted to install Debian on my external ssd, which is also the one I use to download games (on windows), so my idea was to partition the SSD and install Debian in that partition. Does that make sense, or it's a complete waste of memory? Should I format the SSD and install Debian on the formatted SSD? Should I install it on my internal SSD where windows is installed? Also, how do I manage the Bootloader, do i need to install it on my internal SSD or it's ok to install it on my external SSD?

Thanks for helping!

It stutters often. I've tried it on a few different proton versions. Sometimes it's ok, sometimes not. Sometimes it feels better on X11. On Ubuntu and such I had to install the 32 bit architecture but on arch that doesn't seem to be a thing you need to do. Any tips on getting it running smoother?

I'm new to Linux and I'm trying to figure out how games work on Linux, the one I'm struggling with is Team Fortress 2 which sometimes works but freezes before the menu appears, other times it works but tells me I have to turn off unsafe mode and I don't know how to turn it off. And I'm sorry if my English is not good submitted by /u/Gonn4s

I was playing on flatpak Steam, but since i had issues with the controller, i tried and switched to the deb version.

To uninstall the flatpak Steam i did flatpak uninstall --remove-data com.valvesoftware.Steam and then flatpak uninstall --unused. Then i installed the deb version, redownloaded the game and the saves were gone. I checked on my Steam account cloud archive and the save (a single file GAMEDATA) was there, but i forgot to check when it was uploaded (and so i can't say if it overwrote the one that was there before). Anyway i downloaded it and tried to manually paste it in the game saves' folder (which was a pain in the ass to find), but still non saves ingame. So i deduced my Steam cloud save was overwritten by a blank one and i have to restart the game.

Now, i ask you: is ther something i am missing or am i just fucked up? Plus, how is it possible for Steam to overwrite a cloud save without downloading the previous one (which it didn't since my save wasn't there even on my first login after the Steam switch)?

Sorry. I'm here asking for help, but take this post as a rant too.

Tried to use smithbox to do the ol parameter manufacturing, somehow I can't get it to work as it shows "steam install path not found in registry" error. Is this an issue that I can fix by adding some command or is Smithbox on linux is just not possible? thanks for the answer!

Hey everyone! I have an interesting setup idea and would love some input from the community.

Current hardware: - Desktop: Full AMD gaming PC (planning to install Bazzite) - Laptop: Full AMD work laptop (currently running Fedora 42) - Good router with solid local network

The plan: I want to set up my gaming PC on one side of the room as a "living room console" running Bazzite, while my work desk with ultrawide monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers is on the opposite side.

Here's where it gets interesting - instead of running long cables across the room, I'm thinking of using an HDMI dummy plug on the gaming PC and streaming games to my laptop via Steam Link over the local network. This way I can game on my work setup (ultrawide + peripherals) with theoretically zero latency since it's all local, without needing the TV on or cables everywhere.

Questions: 1. Has anyone tried a similar Bazzite → Fedora Steam Link setup? Any gotchas? 2. Will the AMD-to-AMD configuration cause any issues? 3. Should I expect any problems with the HDMI dummy approach? 4. Any specific network optimizations I should consider for the best streaming experience?

The goal is to have a clean setup where I can seamlessly switch between work (laptop native) and gaming (streamed from desktop) on the same workspace.

Additional requirement: I'd also like to stream non-Steam games to my laptop in the same way - things like: - Standalone games installed via Bottles - Emulators (RetroArch, etc.) - Games from Heroic Games Launcher (Epic/GOG)

Is there a way to make these accessible through Steam Link as well, or would I need a different streaming solution for non-Steam content?

Thanks for any insights!

Specs laptop: 6800u + 16gb ram Specs desktop: 7800x3d, 32gb ram, 7900xtx gpu

Devil May Cry 5 stuck at 5 FPS on launch screen – tried DX11 fix but still unplayable (CachyOS + Proton )

Hey everyone, I’m looking for help with a frustrating issue running Devil May Cry 5 on Linux.

My System (CachyOS):

OS: CachyOS (Arch-based, with Cachy Kernel)

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500

RAM: 16 GB

Drivers: Proprietary NVIDIA (up to date)

Proton: 9.0.4 (i tried all the rest )

Steam version of the game

After downloading the game, it opens but gets stuck at the intro/loading screen at around 5 FPS. The loading is painfully slow and it never reaches the main menu. The system is more than capable of running it, but something’s clearly off.

Following this guide loosely (my monitor is Gsync compatbile)

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/k5w4eu/tutorial_how_to_enable_gsyncfreesync_on_nvidia/

Why is the indicator for Gsync only working with VRRTest, but no other steam games?

Any ideas?

Well, this is one way to help fund a store. GOG have added an extra box when you go to checkout to get you to donate.
