I've been struggling to get the Hytale Flatpak to run.
I'm running NixOS 26.05 with Flatpak 1.16.1, Linux kernel 6.18.4 on AMD hardware.
When I start the Hytale Launcher, a window pops up for a split second and closes again as the process dies from a SIGKILL signal.

I'm running out of ideas to try. I've opened a support ticket, but the team seems to be very busy. Did anyone else have this issue and found a way to fix it?

Edit: I found the reason, it doesn't like that my login shell was fish.

Hi.

I'm a fan of physical media and since I don't run windows I've not been able to play a lot of games until well now.

I'm pondering buying a used copy of TES IV: Oblivion (not the remaster) and installing, should I be wary of this approach?

Will steam allow me to register the cd key and download it from there or do I run the risk of "not going to happen, this key has already been spent"?

I know that one can by cd keys from various sites but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

This issue has been happening since i started playing cs on linux, the audio randomly stops working and it does not pickup my microphone either.
Everytime it happens, I have to go into settings and cycle the audio outputs back and forth (like switch it from default to speaker and back to default) and after a few cycles, it starts working again.
Has anyone else faced this issue?

im on Linux 6.18.5-2-cachyos, using KDE plasma wayland.

It was clear something wasn't right when IO Interactive originally released the PC specifications for the upcoming 007 First Light, and now they've been sorted.

About two months ago, I switched from Windows 11 to Linux. On Windows, none of the issues I’m about to describe ever happened.

I started with Zorin OS, and even though I was still learning Linux and making small mistakes, everything worked fine overall. Whenever I had minor issues, I could fix them easily.

Then I started having a serious problem that I haven’t been able to solve.

My computer’s performance randomly drops for no clear reason, and the only way to fix it is by rebooting or shutting down the system. I tried updating all drivers, even updated the kernel (probably not the smartest idea), switched from Wayland to Xorg, and nothing fixed it.

I then completely formatted the SSD, reinstalled Zorin OS, deleted all game folders to avoid any leftover incompatibilities, and tested again on a clean system. The problem continued exactly the same.

Thinking it might be a Zorin-specific issue, I switched to Fedora, which is what I’m using now — and the problem still happens.

Here’s a concrete example from yesterday:

I booted the system and only had Firefox, Discord, Steam, and qBittorrent open. I launched Marvel Rivals on low settings and was getting around 100–110 FPS in Practice mode. I played for over 20 minutes with no performance issues (aside from the game’s own poor optimization). I closed the game, then opened LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, which also ran perfectly fine for about 20 minutes. After closing LEGO, I reopened Marvel Rivals, and the performance was suddenly terrible — stuck at around 30 FPS, with the same settings, same PC, same everything.

After rebooting, I opened the exact same programs and the game ran normally again.

System specs:

• OS: Fedora Linux 43 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition)
• KERNEL: 6.18.5-200.fc43.x86_64
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT (radeonsi, navi23, LLVM 21.1.5, DRM 3.64, 6.18.5-200.fc43.x86_64)
• GPU DRIVER: 4.6 Mesa 25.2.7
• RAM: 32 GB

I'm out of ideas and hope. I can't go back to Windows because Linux still has some good points, but it's very inconvenient and annoying to have to restart the whole computer just because it decided to stop working properly. Can anyone help me?

Hello I have been trying to overcome this problems for weeks now and it’s very tiresome.

Every time I have tried to launch an exe game it initially works but then when I try to reopen the game after shutting down my stead deck, it’s says game unavailable.

I have installed the game through steam, lutris and heroic launcher so I think it has something to do with flat packs.

I recently swapped my SD card. Before I had no problem playing exe games on my old SD card but now I think there is a problem with the new SD card I’ve put in. This is weird because on my RP5 it was working properly. I’ve re formatted the SD card and the same problem still occurs.

I’m at my wits end on what to do. Can someone tell me how to make sure it’s my SD card? If it is a flatpack problem please explain like I’m 5 because I find flat seal and flat packs hard to understand.

I would be grateful for any responses thank you!

So I've recently gotten myself a used OLED TV in the form of the LG OLED65B87 and while I understand that for full 4K120 support I would need HDMI 2.1 which this TV clearly doesn't have but Wikipedia states that 4K120 should still be available to me using YUV 4:2:0 chroma subsampling

I'm using an Nvidia GPU which I know causes all kinds of problems on Linux

But despite going as far as checking kscreen-doctor and edid-decode I cannot seem to find a way on how to get myself to 4K120 on this display. I can understand that there are cases where this just isn't possible at all but before I give up I wanted to ask if perhaps there is something I missed

I'm using Fedora 42 with KDE (though I actually had GNOME pre-installed but it proved to be a headache with NVIDIA more than KDE appears to be). I have an RTX 3060 which is supposed to support HDMI 2.1 and I am using an Ultra High Speed rated HDMI cable so really the only bottleneck is the TV.

I did commit the sin of testing it on Windows as well and it may be notable that the NVIDIA App's PC resolution section never went beyond 1280x720, meaning I had to choose 1080p120 from the non-PC section. I don't know what that means but I thought it may be notable

For some reason, on Fedora Linux this notification keeps popping up and idk what to do about it, I know snap is a repository but that’s about it. If there isn’t enough information let me know, since idk why it’s happening. Thx

I saw some benchmarks showing game mode on Bazzite/steam os having better lows compared to Cachy os for example which does not use a game mode shell. so I installed Bazzite to test for myself. what I saw was a little puzzling. I ran benchmarks on desktop and game mode with cyberpunk. in game mode my 1% lows went from 107 to 117. The problem is that I watched the in game benchmark counter drop down to 107. so it's getting the exact same performance but then the game reports 117 low after I watch it go as low as 107? What about game mode is making the game read values innacurately like that? Something to with gamescope and how it runs games?

Hi, as in the title, none of my usb port on the bc-250 works. I've got it with an already modded bios. I've tried several mice, keyboards, usb sticks but nothing seems to work. I've tried installing bazzite on the ssd from another pc, but now it boots up and wait for a keyboard/mouse input. Any suggestion? Neither in the bios seems to receive any input

As the title asks, I am looking to play the 90's PC game Magic the Gathering Shandalar. I would prefer a vanilla experience, so beyond the official expansion I would not want any new cards. Is there an easy way to set that up, or should I just do a virtual machine and see if that does anything? I made a post earlier and I fixed that text glitching issue by downloading the fonts.cv file from a different version of the game but I still have general instability, like cards in duels in the hand dissappearing. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I dual-boot my PC with Windows and Linux Mint. I have Steam installed on both, and one of the games I own from Steam is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. With Steam on Linux, it's showing an Install button for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 - Does this mean Steam is able to install & run Flight Simulator 2024 on Linux?

TLDR:

How can I troubleshoot this to hopefully not need to restart or switch distro:

Some 1st/3rd person games where you control your view via the mouse are giving me trouble. Mousing in menus works fine. Once I'm in game, however, the mouse doesn't do anything. -Actually, it does an incredibly tiny bit... If I mouse back and forth quickly, I can see the view in the game wiggling ever so slightly, but never actually changes. A system restart fixes it for some time. I'm unsure of the cause or how I might fix without restarting.

TL:

This is my first foray into linux gaming, as I installed Pop OS 24 three weeks ago. I had issues early on, however, updates fixed them and have been happy for the most part.

I installed steam via the cosmic store, I've tried using the latest GE Proton. I'm running with a 9070 XT. I am using a razer mouse with Razor Genie to manage the DPI. There are dual displays. At one point I attempted to run a game in windowed mode and the mouse control still didn't budge.

I'm not well versed in linux, but I'm familiar with *nix and comfortable on the command line.

Thanks!!

I would like to know if it is possible to use the new version of this wheel on Linux? The switch shows PC, PS4, PS5. There is no PS3 option. All of the buttons work, but my computer will not read inputs from turning the wheel.

I have a Pulsar X2 Superlight that, if I use wirelessly, stutters at a pretty regular interval (2-3 seconds or so) making it pretty much unusable. However, wired, it's just fine and I do not have this problem on Windows or macOS.

Anyone experienced this? I don't think it's related to CachyOS because I was recently on Nobara and it had the same problem.

Is there some setting somewhere I need to turn on/off or something?

So far I have only used sysd and Wayland via normal late model CPU/GPU combo's and they run fine with the various gaming forks.

Does anyone have experience/advice in setting up a sysVinit/X11 approach for a gaming PC?

How well does it play with late model hardware and all the typical layers needed for something like Arc Raiders?

Cheers

I recently ordered a Manda One controller and it requires a dongle to connect to PC. A problem I ran into on the GameSir Nova Lite was that my PC didn't detect the dongle, it was shortly after I had made the switch to Linux and it had worked perfectly in Windows. I'm worried I may run into the same problem with this controller. Since then I've switched Linux distros from Bazzite to Pop OS. Is there anything I can do or install to have the problem already fixed by the time the controller arrives?
