Spherical Nightmares is a Half-Life 2 Episode: Two mod where Gman leaves Gordon Freeman in a remote prison. Find your way out and stay alive if possible.... or is this another simulation?

My first tests failed as the game was having issues with Proton and would crash. After some research I found you have to rename the game folder and replace the GameInfo.txt

I have a 4K 60 Hz monitor and sometimes want to use it as a 1080p 120 Hz. So I need CRU for Linux. As far as I know, this was possible under X11. But can I also do this under Wayland?

Hi, I'm reaching out because I've run out of ideas... I play Farming Simulator on Fedora (latest version) via Steam. I'm using an Xbox Series S controller, and it works intermittently in the game. I've tried adding it through Fedora's settings and with Xpadneo.

The symptoms: only the joysticks and triggers work in-game.

However, when I view the controller in Steam, all the buttons work.

If anyone has any ideas!

Basically I cannot access the library or the store. I also cannot move it. I searched on Google, and it seems like nobody had this problem which I really doubt.

So does someone know how to solve this? Thanks!

Last time I posted I didn't have much to show but talked a bit about how I develop on Linux and obviously have Linux & Steamdeck as my primary platforms :)

Today I'm close to the demo and can show you uncut gameplay footage.

This is a complete flight on the map the demo will (likely) ship with. Took off from a base, picked up a stray cargo crate worth 1337 credits (not planned, I swear), then flew to the nearest platform and landed.

The annotations call out specific moments, but a lot of what's happening between them is just... flying. Fighting the wind, managing altitude, watching fuel and weight.

The game is a cargo delivery loop on a hostile moon. You haul crates between bases, deal with wind, meteors, geysers, and lightning storms, earn credits, repair damage, and upgrade your lander. It's meant to feel meditative between the moments of crisis.

Demo is very close to release. This is pretty much what you'll get in the demo.

Wishlist "Void Cargo: Equilibrium" on Steam and you get info when the demo lands

Hi there,

Lately I have been on a very boring cycle of massive buy & return with regards to 2.4G gamepads (I am very sensitive to input lag so no, Bluetooth is not an option).

The problem is that all of the ones I tried, from known models like 8BitDo Pro 3 to cheaper options on Aliexpress, come with an USB 2.4G receiver that identifies itself with a vendor:model when the gamepad is OFF and changes it's vendor:model when the gamepad is ON, causing a massive hit on the system because all the systemd+udev+kernel stuff that the re-connection implies., which causes whatever I am emulating to produce several audio dropouts (it's unavoidable even if I pre-load all the needed kernel modules, etc, nothing wrong with my system, it's just that the receiver "self-reconnection" when powering ON the gamepad should NOT happen).

Older, 2.4G digital-only models I have like the 8BitDo M30, SN30+DaemonByte, etc.. do NOT do this absurd thing: the 2.4G USB receiver is always connected and it's vendor:model doesn't change when I turn on the gamepad itself.

So, any recommendations on 2.4G gamepads (with analog sticks) that don't do this vendor:model "swap" thing when activating the gamepad, please?

I have been using Linux for a bit now and I really like it, one of my favourite bits is how customisable the desktop is. But while I’m gaming I don’t use the desktop and Windows immediately boots Steam into Big Picture mode. And I know many people WOULD say: “But Aardvark! Windows is horrible spyware and full of ads!” But I am aware of that and that’s why I’ve been debloating using things like O&O ShutUp and Wintoys. But I don’t know if this is as good as using Linux. I don’t game on Linux due to a few reasons (game support, NVIDIA card, etc) but even though I find debloating annoying, I find it less annoying than gaming on Linux. But I want to know if there is anything other than the lack of spyware that I may be missing out on. Something that not even debloating would do for.

I recently switched from windows 11 to Arch Linux and everything was great until I encountered a problem which I solved on windows 11 a long time ago.

Whenever I'm gaming for a long time or my laptop has been on for a while and I start playing games, sometimes randomly my fps will be cut in half, for example: I was playing Arc Raiders at 100-130 fps very smooth, and randomly it dropped to 40-50.

I managed to fix this on windows 11 by opening the Omen Gaming Hub and changing my power profile from performance to balanced or low, and back to performance. I'm not sure if just the act of opening the Omen Gaming Hub and waiting a while fixed this or my profile switching but fiddling around in there seemed to fix this issue.

BTW this issue could also be fixed by restarting my laptop.

But now, on ARCH, there is no Omen Gaming Hub, how do I even begin to try to fix this issue, please help this is very annoying.

Also was looking for that feature in amd cpu where you could turn off "turbo boost" or "processor performance boost mode" or whatever it was called where you could set it to values like "aggressive" or "disabled" and what not, that had previously fixed my heating issues.

I know cachyos focuses more on gaming but I heard it can be unstable bec it's based on arch I dont have an nividia gpu so drivers shouldn't be a problem

Which one should I choose if I want to use linux as a daily driver without being scared of breaking anything?

Alex Mercer was sent to prison after serving in the Gentek as their genetically engineered secret weapon, but now he has escaped and is at war against the military who protect Gentek and their deadly viruses. No one else can stop them, so it is up to Alex and his bionic alien arm!


This game can be very difficult at times and tests your patience... but at the same time you get to run around an open-world sandbox and do whatever you want.

Prototype ran perfectly in Proton...

Been on Windows for a while and had my yearly urge to try Linux again

Ive tried Linux quite a few times in the past and never had an issue before with my Nvidia card (2060) until now

Installed Nobara (Nvidia image) and tried watching Youtube after installation was done and it was laggy as hell.

Also had a CachyOS ISO so tried that too and that was the same.

I saw there's been a recent change to drivers dropping support for 10** series card but this shouldn't effect me afaik.

Is there something else I should be aware of, as previously all these systems have worked out of the box for me.

Sadly back on Windows for now.

On Bazzite the game has this awful crackling audio during loading and sometimes during gameplay. Also there's latency and FPS drops when entering new areas. I couldn't capture it because it's kinda random. I used Proton-Hotfix and added a command which kinda stabilized it, but it's still annoying. The game runs butterly smooth on Windows which pisses me off because I don't wanna use Windows anymore even for gaming.
