Vulkan Descriptor Heap Update: NVIDIA Linux Update: Is Windows Parity Finally on the Horizon? submitted by /u/RenlyHoekster
[link] [comments]

First off I know these are two different systems and distributions, that is irrelevant to the questions I am posing. Ubuntu Questing Quokka (with Kubuntu) and SteamDeck both had updates pending. After updating all Compatibility games received "DirectX 12 not supported" errors on both systems. Well last night there was another update for SteamDeck. Once applied the games started working on the SteamDeck. So I looked through the logs on Ubuntu and all I see are updates to Nvidia Drivers, Mesa, some KVM components, Kernel, and a few random package updates. My assumption is that the Nvidia update on Ubuntu mucked somethings up. In the past the fix was to uninstall all games and delete the compatdata folder. Is this still the only way to fix this issue when it crops up? The only information in the proton logs is DirectX12 errors and unsupported text.

I've got myself an Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme, and I'm going to install Bazzite or Chacyos on it. I think both have a game mode like Steam OS. I wanted to know which one is better. I should mention that I only play my Steam catalogue, I don't emulate, I don't install other game stores, except for Heroic for Rocket League.

archlinux just added the steam-devices package a couple days ago into their testing repo, and cachyos already have it in stable. are things about to move?

I wanted to ask this here since I feel it's the best place, but if I booted up a game on a console each console is the same so things like loading times and hardware weirdness is all accounted for. However, on PC since hardware can vary so much I want to know what impact that'll have. On top of that compatibility layers like Wine and Proton add another factor into it. My question is if I had a game I wanted to speedrun, let's say Ultrakill for an easy example, could I boot it up with Proton and a timer app and send it to online speedrunning places, or would I have to run the game on Windows?

Soo, since my last post I changed some thinks in the Game, and here is what:

-I changed the resolution to 720p. This makes the game actually quite enjoyable, with 30 stable frames, or 60 more or less stable frames.

-changed the render scale to 60%.

Now, that the game is actually running somewhat „stable“, I am running into some other, very frustrating things: After some time playing, the games visuals freeze but the audio is continuing. Pressing the super key once to open the application menu makes the game continue. When clicking back into game the visuals freeze again (music/audio still playing) and this time, only a force close of the game and restarting it helps.

It is very frustrating…

Hi guys. I have installed Garuda Linux on a PC. I have downloaded some games like CS2 but they can't start 'cause there is not enough RAM. I know is possible to add an external RAM, can just someone explain me how?

Hi all,
I have a Lenovo Legion Go with a 9060 XT external GPU. Originally I used this setup with Windows, where FSR 4 worked easily through Adrenaline FSR 3 upgrade, as well as Optiscaler.

After moving to SteamOS and tinkering a bit I managed to get the 9060 XT to work using the main update channel (SteamOS 3.9) with Mesa 25.3.0 drivers.

The problem is that I can't get FSR 4 to work. I've followed all steps suggested in the tutorials (setting the env var FSR4_UPGRADE=1, using Proton GE or Proton Cachy-OS, injecting the AMD dll manually, using Optiscaler) to no avail.

When I use Optiscaler with the default Proton or with the Experimental one, I don't have the option to select FSR 4 at all (only FSR 3). On the other hand, if use recent releases of Proton GE or Proton Cachy-OS, I can select FSR 4 but the game crashes immediately.

Has anybody managed to get it working on SteamOS?

I run Linux Mint Cinnamon with an AMD GPU and CPU.

I run Cyberpunk 2077 from GOG on Lutris. I played the game with Wine Proton GE and didn't have a wine prefix for the game for the majority of the game. I recently swapped GPUs from Nvidia to AMD and was having a problem with loading the game because my CPU's integrated graphics were taking priority over my GPU. I thought making a wine prefix might help me play the game. which prevents me from accessing my save data. All of my game files are the same, but whenever I boot up the game, it treats it like I just downloaded the game for the first time. Is there a way to fix it?

Hi, i am wondering how to run Arc Raiders in Linux Mint with VPN via split tunnel. It doesn't start otherwise. I tried to put all executables i could think of in the split tunnel in settings, to no avail.

Hello, I'm having these glitches on Fallout 4. What I've already done trying to fix the problem is: deleted HD texture DLC, turned off v-sync, installed dxvk and set the max frame rate to 60. I didn't have this issue before and honestly I don't know what more I could do for eventually fix it. Graphic driver is updated.

My PC broke yesterday so I currently have no option but to use my very old laptop for things. I tried installing Risk of Rain 2 on it, but nothing i can think of has worked! This game worked completely fine out of the box on my PC but on my laptop it just doesn't.

I have tried every single proton version available through steam with and without PROTON_USE_WINE3D=1 %command% , the launch option didn't seem to actually affect anything though.

Proton versions 5.0-10 don't seem to even open the game, Versions 5.13-6 and 6.3-8 launch the game but crash at 2% on the loading screen, Version 7.0-6 launches the game, gets to 46-48% then crashes (that's the moment the beginning cutscene starts playing on the loading screen so it's probably something to do with rendering that) and versions forward from proton 8 either throw an error message or a window with the game logo that closes almost instantly (image below)

the window

The furthest i can make it with proton (Proton 7.0-6). The game freezes then crashes shortly after!

The error on newer versions

Yes, i do have the necessary graphics drivers. Yes, my computer has the latest updates.

I know the game is possible to run on this machine, because launching it with wine makes it past the loading screen and to the menu, but the game is unplayable due to steamworks not working on wine.past the loading screen and to the menu, but the game is unplayable due to steamworks not working on wine.

The game running through wine

oh and also i know this isn't distro specific, i have had this issue before on linux mint on the same machine

I've got a Logitech wheel and pedals, I run a lot of gt7 on PlayStation, but have a handful of racers/drivers through steam and epic. The latest update through windows unformatted my game drive, and it's not the first time this has happened. I'm over it. Now I also hear that encrypted drives in windows are basically not.

So, how does Linux like racing peripherals? I might get some flight stuff down the road as well. Are there any flavors that are more condusive to my hardware? I know my GPU may be limiting, how's support?

Thanks for your time and patience!

Короче я понятное дело геймер и у меня связка intel + nvidia.Так вот я хочу свежие пакеты,но чтобы еще и стабильность была.Также кроме этого мне бы желательно нужно норм количество пакетов и да я не прям новичок и не про(ну то есть я уже умею без особых проблем им пользоваться).Сейчас я юзаю линуху вроде полгода и у меня Arch Linux + Cinnamon.

Goverlay wasn't even detecting MangoHUD at first, so I removed whatever version I had and reinstalled it in the terminal via flatpak, and it worked, goverlay is now detecting mangohud just fine (and the stats show in the cube window). I can also see MangoHUD in game, I'm testing with Elden Ring, by simply adding MANGOHUD=1 %command% in the games' properties. So everything is working, except I can't untoggle it with the default shortcut "Shift+R+F12". Goverlay doesn't seem to be working properly either, since changing layouts or color schemes don't really affect vkcube. The shortcut won't work in vkcube either. I only adopted Linux very recently, so I'm not super knowledgeable regarding what to do in these cases.
