Does anyone know how to make stalker gamma use all cores?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. März 2026 - 12:25

There is the AOEngine mod but it doesn't work for me, (here is the tutorial i used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHLl7U3jhRA ) can someone either explain to me how to install it, or how to make the 20 year old x-ray engine utilize all cores?

(Major Disclaimer, first: Don't open the game without patching it to be safe) Black Ops 3: Ultimate Experience Mod not working.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. März 2026 - 12:22

Okay, this post may be a bit of a long one because I need to provide context here.

First of all, like I said in the title, DO NOT open Black Ops 3 without downgrading the game and applying something like T7 patch (or something else) to make the game safe to play. (This is in case anyone has BO3 in their Steam Library but hasn't played in years but decides to install it to try and help.) If you launch BO3 without installing a safety patch, you could face pretty nasty things like RCE exploits.

Now, onto the main point of this post. I've been getting back into Black Ops 3 lately pretty much solely because of custom zombies maps, and I've been having a lot of fun with it. But there's something kind of odd. One of the most popular gameplay mods "Ultimate Experience Mod" (which adds a progression system, among other things) absolutely refuses to work for me.

When I load the mod in the main menu, the game just turns to a black screen with the text saying the mod is loaded in the upper right corner. Audio continues to run, but it's just a black screen. And I've tried leaving the game like that for like, an hour, and it just stays on the black screen.

I've tried another mod, titled "All-Around Enhancement" which is another gameplay mod that does some similar things (but is also, of course, very different, and is entirely its own thing) and it has worked completely fine with not a single Linux-Specific glitch, from what I can tell.

I actually got in contact with the creator of UEM, and they tried to help me, but sadly, nothing ever came of it. They had me download a special "development" version of the mod, but that acted the exact same way as the normal version did. Black screen with text saying the mod is loaded in the top right corner. And frankly, I don't really want to bother them with this anymore, as they seem pretty busy, and I honestly feel like I might have more luck just asking around here.

I do hope someone can help me get this figured out, as it would be awesome to have a progression system in the game and have things to work towards as I play.

I have tried looking around to try and find any information about it, but I have sadly found nothing.

Here's my specs, if it helps:

OS: Debian 13

GPU: RX 6600

CPU: i7-11700

RAM: 16GB

Distro recommendation for 5090

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. März 2026 - 12:13

Hello!

I've been bitten by the Linux gaming bug since a few months. I want to ditch windows, but having a nvidia card has held me back a little bit.

But today I think is the day I'm actually thinking to just do it.

Which distro would you recommend for this gpu and a ryzen 5600x (weird mix I know, but that's a different story)?

Im a programmer, so I'm not afraid of cli, also worked a few years using linux/macos, but, as I spend my whole day programming, I'd like the gaming experience to be the cleanest, reducing tinkering as much as possible, don't feel like getting stuck in a cli after coding for 8 hours.

I've seen around here that Arch based distros are very good, but also fedora's.

Id also like to be able to use hdr, which I've read has had some issues with some distributions.

Also, do we have a good tool to undervolt my gpu on Linux? I know afterburner is not available on Linux, so what would be the equivalent?

This is also my desktop pc, so I need to be able to use it for my programming stuff on my free time, office, etc... so having a heavily gamified os would not be desirable, I mean, things like booting directly into a console mode or stuff like this. Acceptable (since you can always get to cli or desktop in Linux), but not desirable.

I also need to be able to connect to my wireless brother printer, but I'd assume this is something that should be working out of the box in most cases.

So, keeping that in mind, what would be your recommendations?

Thank you all in advance, looking forward to see what your recommendations are!

Help needed on setting lsfg-vk on fedora 43

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. März 2026 - 12:06

My setup:
- Fedora 43
- NVIDIA RTX 2060 Laptop 6 GB
- Intel i5 10th gen
- 32 GB DDR4 RAM
- SSD
- Resident Evil 4 Remake on Steam (running on 40/55 fps, loe/medium settings)

What I already tested:
- lsfg-vk benchmark works
- benchmark output shows frame generation is active
- example result was around 44 real FPS and about 88 presented FPS with:
- multiplier = 2
- flow_scale = 0.75
- performance_mode = true
- process detection for the game shows `re4.exe`
- I’m using a launch option like:

LSFG_LEGACY=1 LSFG_DLL_PATH="/home/myuser/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Lossless Scaling/Lossless.dll" LSFG_MULTIPLIER=2 LSFG_FLOW_SCALE=0.75 LSFG_PERFORMANCE_MODE=1 LSFG_PROCESS=re4.exe %command%

My problem:
In benchmark, lsfg-vk seems to work.
In RE4 Remake, I’m not fully sure whether it is really improving presentation/fluidity during gameplay. steam still shows roughly the base FPS, so I’m not sure if:
1. lsfg-vk is working and stream only reports the base framerate
2. frame generation is active but frame pacing / compositor / Wayland is hurting the result
3. something is still wrong in my setup

Questions:
1. What is the best way to confirm that lsfg-vk is really working correctly in an actual game on Fedora 43?
2. On Fedora, is it better to use Wayland, X11, Gamescope, or some specific Steam/Proton setup for smoother frame pacing with lsfg-vk?
3. For an RTX 2060 laptop, what settings would you recommend as a good starting point?
- multiplier
- flow_scale
- performance_mode
- any present mode / vsync / compositor advice

A Linux gaming computer is the game, not the game

Just spent another 2 hours successfully getting Anno 1800 to work on pop!_os thanks to the Ubisoft Launcher. I'm sure over the years I've spent more time getting games to work than playing them.

Fedora Wlan Problem after update. Help

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. März 2026 - 09:35

Hey guys, something weird happened, after installing my GPU and updated dns packages... my Wi-Fi adapter picks up the Internet connection, then it gets broken down every 10 seconds so I don't have internet anymore.

it's not my routers Problem because my other devices have internet. it's just my fedora desktop.

The Wlan wifi adapter worked fine until now.

I think after the new update the problems started.

Any simple command i can use to fix?

Remember i dont have internet to download other packages.

Also, the Adapter works with my windows 11 dual boot.

I deleted my dns 9999 option. To see if it was the problem, but it was not.

Thanks in advance

Path of Exile on Iris XE

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. März 2026 - 08:59

Hey all,

I've recently got myself a "new" (refurbished) laptop mainly for work purposes. It sports an i7-1270P and 2x16GB DDR4 RAM that fuel the integrated Iris XE GPU.

The first thing I did was install Mint as it's my go-to distro for everything.

I don't expect any super performance in (light) gaming but I hoped to be able to get at least more than 3FPS in PoE. The loading times are fine and the graphs show that temperature, VRAM, RAM are all fine. The thing is that the Shader graph is a solid green block and the CPU and GPU frametimes are somewhere between 300-1000ms which leads to absolute unplayability.

The game runs via Steam using Proton Hotfix. I've manually activated performance mode (Battery Symbol --> Performance).

Did anyone have a similar experience and was able to resolve it respectively has some hints for me as to what to change?

Thanks in advance!

best way to get high quality discord streaming equivalent to windows on nvidia?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. März 2026 - 08:27

I have to make sure and check, but from what I know official discord on linux still uses cpu encoding on nvidia, with amd using vaapi now. is there a way to get higher quality streaming equivalent to windows then? i dont know what vesktop does but could it be equivalent? (does the video accel option even do anything for streaming yourself? does it try to enable hardware accel for screensharing? last time i had it on a few days ago it was stuttering when i was watching a friends' stream.)
