After upgrading to to Ubuntu 24.04 I can no longer launch games like sonsoftheforest and valheim. I'm at a loss on what to try. I've literally tried everything possible, even factory resetting back to 22.04.

What can I do now? I don't really need advice on what to try because I've done it all:

• Kernel versions
• Nvidia driver versions (535 used to work perfectly for me, tried everything up to 580)
• Proton versions (tried all versions along with all recommended by protondb, GE/Calypso)
• Reinstalling steam
• Factory resetting the OS

There is something really wrong, maybe my hardware, but this issue is not debuggable. I run steam to see logs and it looks fine but the game never launches. Usually I can figure things out but there are no errors or logs to understand what is going on here.

What can even be done at this point?

With my 5070 Ti I got vertex explosions and 15fps without raytracing in Monster Hunter Wilds, which was simply unacceptable.

With my new 9070 XT, I can now run the game at max settings, 4K, ray tracing high, and I get 80fps without using frame gen, just FSR Quality.

Oblivion Remastered gives me similar results, this GPU is an absolute beast.

Notes: I have a 9800X3D and I used Proton-EM, not to mention Wayland, CachyOS, and KDE Plasma.

Is this typical 9070 XT performance on Linux or did my CPU and other setup variables contribute to this amazing performance? And is there anything else I could do to squeeze out even more performance? My launch options are only FSR4 upgrades, when applicable. I am not sure if adaptive sync is worth using (from display settings).

Switching to DX11 might have helped, but my game also froze and basically crashed after swapping to it, whereas that doesnt happen with DX12, the graphical bugs dont actually affect gameplay at all, just annoying. I have a i7-8700k, gtx 1080 and 16gigs of ram, i get a fairly consistent 70fps while playing at high graphic options, would appreciate any advice for maybe fixing this.

I asked this on the Diablo subreddits, but realized this might be a better option. I wanted to give D2R and D4 a try, especially since they are on sale now. I used to play Diablo 3 on my Mac, but noticed D4 and D2R are Windows only now.

Have any of you managed to run D2R or D4 on Linux. If so, what distribution and should I purchase fro a steam or Battle.net? I have an older i7 7700 with RTX 1060 I can use. My Macs are M series so no Linux that I know of and I don’t want to run Parallels or Crossover.

Happy holidays and thank you in advance.

TL;DR Please help, before today everything was fine but Steam now runs the game while never launching and all attempts at running mod mangers have been a horrible failure; I just want to play FO4 with the Nick Valentine romance mod and all of this hassle is giving me a migraine from hell

I've been trying to play modded Fallout 4 ever since i switched from Windows to Linux Mint back in November; using Proton Experimental/GE

installed Vortex via Lutris and at first the mods would deploy but never be in effect in game

Tried installing Mod Organizer 2 through both Lutris and NaK, but i ran into the same issue and an error about how the game was 32-bit trying to run in a 64-bit system

I used both WineTricks and ProtonTricks to make a 32-bit instance but for whatever reason FO4 would not default to 32

I've tried installing Vortex through Bottles but the mod drag and drop shows a "file does not exist" error and trying to install via file shows an empty /:Z drive; MO2 installer doesn't even start

Now there's a new problem where Steam outright refuses to launch the game

Every other game works just fine: Hades 2, FO76, Ultrakill, they all launch and play without a hitch; it's only happening with FO4

this was after a fresh re-install of both Steam and the game itself

I've attached terminal screenshots of my specs and the Steam errors, I just updated the Nvidia drivers

I'm having trouble installing the unofficial patch for "Vampire: the masquerade bloodlines".

All my games are installed on a SSD card, while linux mint is on a HDD card. I've tried to use protontricks, but it keeps closing due to the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

what should i do? I haven´t seen any clear answers online. I'm new to linux so most of the technical talk is very confusing

Recientemente compré por eBay una BC-250 con intención de descargarle Linux y usarla para jugar juegos. En las imágenes se mostraba que era P3.00 (Versión que leí que funcionaba para esto) pero cuando llegó resultó que era P2.00. Alguien sabe si se le puede instalar Linux igual o si debo devolver la placa?

Hello community, I am very much new to Linux.

I am, as probably many people right now too, f%#%> sick of windows 11.

I run a 1650 súper (nvidia) with an amd ryzen 4500. I get ok FPS for gaming on windows, 1080p.

I am heavily considering cachy OS but I would love to hear from you people if anyone knows how the 1650 super performs compared to windows.

Thank you very much!

Hello, I've been trying to get my cloud saved files from my SB game purchased on Epic Games, no matter what I try I cannot get the game to read my saved files. The Sync apparently works, but when I open the game there is no saved files, I tried already to manually move the save files and still doesn't work. Any idea what could be the issue? I'm guessing I might need to somehow launch the game from the launcher. But then I cannot find a way to install EGL, I tried Lutris and the launcher installs but when I open it, it just crashes.

I do not have access to a decent windows computer. i only have a steam deck and my girlfriend likes to watch me play games to help her sleep. this has worked for a short while but i9've had some issues with discord, mostly stemming from audio. having to restart as audio from games are gone, but the worst of the issues have started right now and i've experienced this before.

it will not pick up my own headset audio, i know the audio is fine as i have tested it elsewhere (other applications on steam deck, third party mic test etc) and they all seem to work fine it just seems like a discord issue. Does anyone have any reccomendations? fixes, alternatives etc would be appreciated

Depois de apanhar um pouco, consegui rodar a dublagem PT-BR do Elden Ring no Linux 🐧🔥 Postando aqui porque vi muita gente dizendo que não funciona fora do Windows, mas funciona sim usando Steam + Proton.

📁 Onde colocar os arquivos (parte mais importante)

Dentro da pasta do jogo, normalmente:

Steam/steamapps/common/ELDEN RING/Game/

A dublagem usa as pastas:

• movie
• movie_dlc

Elas ficam direto na pasta raiz do jogo, assim:

ELDEN RING/Game/ ├─ eldenring.exe ├─ modengine2_launcher.exe ├─ config_eldenring.toml ├─ movie/ ├─ movie_dlc/

👉 Recomendo fazer backup das pastas originais antes de substituir.

▶️ Como iniciar o jogo (parte essencial no Linux)

Pra funcionar no Linux, é necessário iniciar o jogo pela Steam usando esse comando nas opções de inicialização:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%

Se você usa MangoHud, pode colocar ele junto antes do %command%.

Depois disso, é só abrir o jogo normalmente pela Steam.

Aqui funcionou de boa, logo no começo o narrador já fala em PT-BR 🎙️
Então pra quem joga Elden Ring no Linux: dá pra usar a dublagem sim.

Se alguém estiver tentando fazer funcionar e travar em alguma parte, comenta aí 👊

Link do mod pra quem nao conhecia:https://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/4295

I like to play FH4 sometimes (pirated, this game is a Abandonware), I play using Proton and it works great at first, the problem is that after a while the game starts to lag and freeze for no reason, so you can think "ok, just alt+f4 and boot it again"... No, i can't, Because my OS freezes along with the game, if I can't close the game before it freezes completely, I'm forced to manually restart my PC. Can someone help me?

More info:

My GPU use go to 0%, I left the game overlay on and noticed this.

I'm using Linux Mint and the steam launcher.

This also happens on my laptop if i move my ssd whith the OS and my HD with the game to my laptop.

All other games works fine.

I updated the game, nothing changed.

I can't ask this on FH4 sub, i got banned by mentioning piracy... of an Abandonware.
