Anyone know how to get FSR 4.0.0 running on Linux?
Currently trying to get FSR 4.0.0 working on crimson desert using the latest optiscaler build from discord, switched the amdxcfx.dll from the wiki, but FSR 4.0.0 doesn’t show up for some reason. Using fsr4update=true on the opti.DLL and I’m using the launch argument dxil_config on steam.
When I try this only FSR 3.1.4 comes up on optiscaler, but FSR 4.0.2 and 4.0.2b is working fine.
Mainly trying to get 4.0.0 for the small performance gain.
Running on Legion Go Z1E on Bazzite.
Thanks :))

bazzite-os DIY PC console setup that worked for me
Hi everyone! I would like to share a detailed setup guide that worked for me, here are my specs
bazzite deck image, i7 13000f, 9070xt, 32gb ram
Tv is a samsung qn1a
After some tweaking I was able to get 4k,120hz,hdr,vrr,4:4:4 colours, HDMI-CEC, and frame gen working in linux.
U-Green HDMI to DisplayPort Adapter: This adapter does support 4k,120hz,hdr,vrr,4:4:4 colours, and HDMI-CEC. Also I got the cabled version. I’ve read that there could be issues with the non-cabled one.
VRR: At first this was disabled but it was a tv issue not linux. I fixed this by going into the tv settings and enabling input signal plus for the hdmi I was using. In gamescope if you press the xbox button + a button it will open a side menu where it will show if vrr active or not.
CEC: Worked out of the box for me so once I power on the computer it does turn on the tv to the correct hdmi and when turned powered down it turns off the display as well.
Frame-Gen: So for games like Crimson Desert it does have amd frame gen built(tested and working) but many others don’t of course. So I downloaded the steam decky plugin to install the lossless scaling frame gen plugin (called LFVG). After installing decky you can search this in the plugins section and install directly there. You will also need to get the lossless scaling app from the steam store. Since the app doesn’t technically support linux, before downloading you need to go to the game properties and change the game version to linux testing. When opening the plugin you should see the app is installed and also install the mod itself. After copying the patch command you need to paste it into the launch options of the specific game you want to launch. Don’t paste this into the lossless scaling app the games were not launching for me. I tested frame gen in Expedition 33 and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and both worked perfectly even with vrr. There was no screen tearing or artifacting.
Adapter Note: When I boot up the pc and the display first turns on it will go back to a black screen for a second or two. This is just the adapter resetting and happens usually before I even launch a game. It never does it again while I’m playing so the adapter is stable.
So in summary I used bazzite deck image, a hdmi display adapter from amazon and decky LFVG plugin to get all these features working together at once in linux. I hope this setup guide helps anyone who is interested in gaming on linux and having a console experience!

The last of us p1 problems
- OS: CachyOS (Arch-based)
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070 (Driver 595.58.03)
- Proton: GE-Proton10-34 via PortProton launcher
- Game installed outside Steam
IssueCertain particle effects (smoke, fire, transparent elements) render incorrectly — they appear as glitched/corrupted geometry instead of rendering normally. It doesn't happen everywhere, only on specific effects.
What I tried- Multiple Proton versions (GE-Proton 10-30, 10-33, 10-34, Proton-CachyOS)
- Deleted vkd3d-proton.cache and GLCache
- All graphics settings from Ultra Low to Ultra
- DLSS on/off, Frame Gen on/off
- VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv
- DXVK_ASYNC=1
Nothing fixed it. Anyone else hit this? Any known workaround?

Can you use Space Calibrator with ALVR and SteamVR?
Whenever I try opening it I just get an error about missing drivers. FBT with my Quest 2 is one of the few things keeping me to a dual boot and I'd like to swap entirely to Linux.

Limo Mod Manager
I noticed there isn't really a centralized place to ask questions or learn about how to use Limo Mod Manager, so I made a sub for it: r/LimoModManager
Hopefully this can turn into a good place to get help for new users of the mod manager.

Elden Ring: Nightreign issues streaming from CachyOS desktop
I know this is issue will only affect a very small portion of people, I just wanted to post it so that an easy fix is out there. Last night I tried to stream Nightreign from Steam on my desktop to my living room TV and was only receiving audio with a black screen from my desktop when the game was running through Steam Link. It runs fine at the computer, just not when remote streaming to another device. I think recent KDE desktop updates may have introduced an issue with the Cachy's custom Proton compatibility layer, but I'm just guessing on that. Last time I had started it, it was running fine if memory serves. This may also affect Elden Ring itself, so if you run into a similar issue with the original game, this may be applicable as well.
All that I had to do to get it working again was switch the game to the Proton 10 compatibility layer instead of the custom CachyOS optimized version and video streaming was restored.
For hardware context: I'm running an AMD 7900 XTX on a 7800 X3D processor using the latest CachyOS release (not the LTS version).

HELP!! GAMES ARE CRASHING ON MY STEAM(Ubuntu distro)
i got a pretty old gaming laptop with gtx1650 +8gb ram and amd chip.
so whenever I launch games (for example:- Fall out new vegas or dying light), they run fine for the first few minutes but they crash after a while.
like either the window can't be accessed or it says error and I have to stop the game from the steam itself.
i did these following:-
1)resetted steam preferences
2)used old and latest proton versions
3)stopped steam overlay
4)downgraded my graphic driver and etc
i couldn't find any video to solve this on YouTube so I had to use chatgpt for initial debugging but now it's telling me to make changes on system level to tinker with VRAM overflow or threading changes

Help needed with running Halo 2 using project cartographer.
I have been working for 7 hours since yesterday and today to set up this thing. So I used project cartographer in lutris and installed halo 2 and the mod from there and did everything i had to get it started. The game started and then it went on until exactly when there is supposed to be a gun fight in the first level. Everytime it just keeps crashing. This is my lutris system info:
[System]

Display Server: x11

Vulkan Drivers: Intel(R) UHD Graphics (CML GT2) (1.4.318)
And i have installed and deleted the whole setup about 4 times atp.
I even tried using ChatGPT to find the issues and it kept giving me a lot of "solutions" but none of them ever worked. I am nearing the end of my patience and request your help in finding the error. I will post more relevant info as requested in the comments.
I am willing to post the error logs and any other detail that you feel may help me. I have checked online resources and videos but i cant find any reason for this issue. I also tried bottles to load this but it just doesnt work.
I am willing to send any and every detail that i can find if someone knows how to do this.

BC250 alternatives? Why not use OG PS5?
Explain like I’m 5
Those „legendary” mining cards can go up to 250€ these days when for that money you can get used PS5 (madness I know).
If there’s whole community around modding BC250 why no one making „og ps5 steam machine”?
Maybe there are some alternatives for bc250 that tech youtubers didn’t know yet?

VR games aren't all launching in VR.
I set up ALVR to work with my quest 2 and while I got VRChat mostly working i haven't been able to get other games working and my only guess as to why is the dedicated launch in VR option. When I launch VR only games it seems like SteamVR isn't communicating with the game even when launched through SteamVR. Has anyone here encountered and fixed this?

Crimson Desert FSR4 - 9070xt
Hey there!
I recently got CrimsonDesert and the in game settings only FSR3.1 is available.
Im already running PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 but i was wondering if this game is supposed to show fsr4 already in the in-game menus.
Also a bit of a more general question: is there a way to confirm that the FSR4_UPGRADE command is actually working? Specially with crimson desert that is already in native quite "shimmery" i keep wondering if im just gaslighting myself into thinking its actually working.
Thanks!
