Foxhole freezing on splash screen

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. Februar 2026 - 00:06

Estou tendo problemas para rodar Foxhole no meu sistema Arch Linux. Estou rodando ele pelo Steam via Proton. Ele trava na tela de carregamento inicial, e às vezes eu tenho que desligar o computador para fechar a janela.

Especificações do computador:

  • CPU: 12ª Geração Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1255U
  • GPU: Intel Iris Xe (integrada)
  • RAM: 8GB
  • SO: Arch Linux

A versão do Proton que estou usando é a Experimental, mas já tentei a versão 10.0-4 e o erro persistiu.

High On Life 2 runs good on Linux.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. Februar 2026 - 23:46

Well... it runs like shit but it runs like shit on all platforms so I wouldn't put a fault on proton. It's UE5 + the devs fault.

Used Proton Experimental with my RX 7800XT on CachyOS.

Need help with GTA SA:MP modding

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. Februar 2026 - 23:30

My game runs, CLEO and Modloader mods load and work in game, but I'm having problems with CustomSAA2/ModdedSAA and Moonloader.

Moonloader logs show that the scripts load successfully, but when I try their respective commands in SA:MP, they don't work.

CustomSAA2 works after renaming DSOUND.DLL > DSOUND.ASI, but in game, whenever I left click, it's like my cursor clicks on something behind the game window and the game loses focus. The game is still in fullscreen and not frozen, but also not registering any keyboard inputs.

ModdedSAA doesn't work at all. I put the files I want to modify in it, but when I launch the game, no changes happen.

I'm using Bottles as a wine GUI.
Runner soda-9.0-1
No dependencies (I'm not sure which ones to use).
Custom bottle configuration (when making a bottle).

If any further information is needed, feel free to let me know.

Left Handed Mouse Usage

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. Februar 2026 - 22:50

So I have a Corsair mouse, and were I on Windows or macOS, this would be done through iCue, but as I understand it's not possible here. If that's not possible, I'd love to know.

But I also suspect some alternative will be what I need.

I do know most DE allow you to switch left and right click, but that's not what I'm after. This particular gaming mouse has four side button, two for each side. M4 and M5 are on the left, I want them to be on the right, where my thumb actually is as a left handed user. Any help to reach this goal will be greatly appreciated.

Hi! I'm trying to play MH Wilds for the first time on Pop!OS Cosmic Environment, but when I get to the select language screen it freezes and I get this error log.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

I already tried with steam parameters and updating the libraries.

Dota2 poor perfomance on zorinOS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. Februar 2026 - 21:47

Hey, just wanted to know if someone else experiences some perceived loss of performance while playing Dota2 on zorinOS.

What i mean by "perceived" loss of performance is that my game runs fine between 180-210 fps, i've checked with the in-game counter and the steam overlay counter, but it just FEELS like 45-50 fps, not even 60, and that's only in Dota2.

It ran fine on Windows and even Arch, i don't really know the reason why it's not working properly in zorinOS.

Heroic Games Launcher Issue

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. Februar 2026 - 21:07

Hi all, I'd appreciate some help here... So basically whenever I try to run an installer via Heroic it will run but then when the installer tries to extract the game contents it throws up the isdone.dll isarcextract error.

But when I go and open it with Wine Windows Program Loader the installer just works fine so it's an issue with Heroic specifically. I had installed wine (and it has an existing prefix that I'm using) long before I had installed Heroic (which was today cause I wanted to try it out and just have all my games neatly in one spot) so I don't know if I need to configure anything in that regard and I honestly have no clue on how to do that (and I've tried searching it up to no avail).

Can’t Launch Epic Seven, Can Anyone Help?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. Februar 2026 - 19:17

Hi, so I’m trying to play Epic Seven through Heroic but it won’t open anymore. The launcher doesn’t start in Heroic, and the game gives an error when I try to enter it.

Is there any way to fix this? Or did they block access on Linux?

Zorin OS Steam Games aren't launching

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. Februar 2026 - 18:25

Swap from Windows to Zorin OS for the "Out of box" Nvidia drivers support along with updates. Download Steam from the official steam website. Most of my games were on a secondary SSD drive before the OS swap that was labeled A and not the main C drive. There wasn't a need to download the games again and just sync them.

Started out with Wuthering Waves and checked which compatibility would work best notably Proton-GE latest and Proton Hotfix. Along with launch options like " SteamDeck=1 %command%" or gamemoderun %command%

Did not work at all.

Went through Nier Automata, Stellar Blade, Cyberpunk 2077, Titanfall 2, Palworld, No Man's Sky, and Ghost of Tsushima. None of them officially ran. They all were getting the Vulkan Shaders and then said they were launching and running to only not run. I have Hollow Knights from the GOG store that ran perfect because of course of a native Linux version.

Am missing something or should I wipe the steam files that previously were on Windows and may of read as NTFS file and reinstall each individual game?

I just wanna play games on a lonely Valentine's Day!!

Is it possible to enhance Vulkan API rendering on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. Februar 2026 - 17:39

Hi gamer friends.

Is it possible to improve Vulkan settings at the driver level on Linux?
For example, can we override a game's own settings to:

  • Increase texture quality
  • Set negative LOD bias to -1.25
  • Boost AA transparency to something like 2x Sparse Grid Supersampling

…and generally enhance the graphics?

From my experience, even if I max out in-game settings, DXVK and VKD3D often don’t produce the best rendering quality.
However, while DXVK is limited, it does allow some configuration to control how graphics are drawn.

Example

d3d9.samplerLodBias = -1.25 d3d11.samplerLodBias = -1.25 dxgi.samplerLodBias = -1.25

I’m curious if anyone has experimented with driver-level Vulkan tweaks or environment variables to get better rendering results on Linux.

My gpu; Nvidia 4060 Ti.
