For those of you still rocking xorg rather than Wayland, there's a new release out that should hopefully fix up some issues you may have been seeing.

.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

I haven't "game" for years and was really hopping to get some games this week and relax with them during the weekend. Is steam still the best place to get them? I see their sales aren't really that great (like way back in the day) or are there other places with better sales? Thank you

(Looking to buy Death Stranding, MGS Delta, Dead Space remake and maybe one of them new silent hill games)

Lately I have been started to game casually on Arch Linux and I was disappointed every time I wanted to install a game (cracked or not) except maybe steam, maybe because dualsense doesn't work in fitgirl games even with steam input ! And I straight up can't use any wine version be it proton-ge wine-ge except System (10.19) and every time I think maybe I should switch i spend hours and return back to the same state. Maybe I should switch to windows or maybe reinstall linux ? I kinda like the new windows xbox gaming thing but HATE pretty much every update they do really confused and frustrated. Your suggestions are valued !

I would like to hear a bit about your experiences, especially if it involves gaming.

Not only youtubers, but streamers as well!

Got a weird one, and something that I have not experienced with any other game on steam.

I recently bought RDR 1 on steam, because it was on sale. When I tried to play the game it locked up my system and a couple seconds later everything came back and the game + steam is just closed.

When I say "lock up" i specifically mean this,

The Monitor hangs on a frame, audio persists and I can hear (for example) music in the background still, and after about 10 seconds the system becomes responsive again after Plasma respawns it self and kills steam and RDR 1.

I do have a log, but I am unable to understand exactly whats wrong. The log refers to an "Illegal Instruction" but I do not know what exactly is failing.

Now whats interesting is that I have another copy of the game obtained elsewhere that does work fine. No crashes, even after a lot of time.

System Info:

If you have any specific questions, I will answer.

Used to use x350ce to emulate my wheel as a left stick. I'm getting the impression I'm not going to be able to get it work on linux. Is there any alternative that has the same functionality of a tunable emulation of controller inputs. Steaminput doesn't even register the button inputs from my wheel and oversteer is installed and working. I have no idea what to look in next only thing I've been able to find is another person with the same issue and no help.

I've read through the FAQs, both here and for Arch specific, and I think I've set everything up properly. But for some games I just terrible results and I'm not sure if it's because the game is poorly optimize (like Monster Hunter Wilds) or because I've misconfigured something. In the gist above, I have logs for neofetch, vulkaninfo, glxinfo, inxi, and the mango hud summary for Borderlands 4 (71FPS avg), Monster Hunter Wilds (64FPS AVG, with massive spikes of freezing), ARC Raiders (70FPS avg), and Sea of Thieves (161FPS average).

I feel like all of these I should get better FPS than what I am on an NVIDIA 4070 Ti (especially with Monster Hunter Wilds freezing very frequently). Is there any way to validate that my settings are configured in a way which they should be for optimal gameplay performance?

I was wondering if it is a good idea to use proton 7 on amd e2 1800 4 gb ram radeon hd 7340, I plan to play old games like The thing, far cry or gta sa, but I was wondering if this is the most viable way? (Not steam, downloaded from github)

I also don't know how to use the github edition :p

That's why I ask, are there better options? Wine has graphical bugs in some titles and well, I want to be able to play well

Thank you

Hey all,

It's my first time trying to do this, and I've never used CachyOS or much of Linux over the last few years. I have one SSD with W11 on it, and another SSD with CachyOS on it. I removed the W11 drive and installed CachyOS on the other drive based on everyones recommendations here (to prevent MBR/Grub issues).

That works fine. However, finding a new host of random issues.

1. When using Grub to go back to Windows, and restarting Windows.. it automatically started loading straight into Windows. I disabled Fast Start as a result, which fixed that.
2. When I load into Cachy, I have to use a password to access my 2nd/3rd SSDs for backup data. This prevents clean access if apps have reliance on them.
3. When I restart Cachy and go back to Windows, it takes 2 minutes of a spinning circle before it actually restarts. A screen shows "a stop job is running for User Manager for UUID 1000
4. Now when I go back to Windows.. I just had my USB hub be completely dysfunctional (even after restarting) until I unplugged it and plugged it back in.

----

What is going on here and how do I solve these little issues? Windows seems to have an incredible amount of pain with Fast Start disabled, and I'd prefer to keep it on. Even if that means removing GRUB from everything and letting me boot into each with F11 on startup.

However I've read that it can cause issues with accessing my 2nd/3rd backup SSDs if I keep Fast Start on. I've also read it can tank performance somehow in CachyOS even though it's a different drive?

I need W11 for specific games and work, and a VM is not an option btw.

Not to mention the random issue where everytime I load back into Windows it sets my clock ahead by like 6 hours, for whatever reason, even with automatic clock enabled.

Hello, I wanted to play GW2 again after a few months off, but when I launched it I consistently get very noticeable stutters nonstop. MangoHUD shows them happening about every 0.5-1 seconds. My fps is fine, I get 100+ depending on the scene, just a brief hitch on a regular schedule. It doesn't go away after spending an hour or more in the game. This didn't happen last time I launched it and is very irritating so I was wondering if anyone had similar issues or can spot a mistake in my setup.

First off, my system:

Nobara 43

Kernel 6.17.7-200.nobara.fc424

KDE 6.5.2

Wayland

Mesa 25.2.6

Ryzen 7800X3D

RX6700XT (Resizable BAR is enabled)

32GB DDR5 6000MT/s

Asus Tuf Gaming B650-Plus Wifi

Connected via ethernet to a 1Gbps fiber connection

Using a bluetooth keyboard and a 2.4ghz mouse

When I ran it before, I was using Proton experimental and no special command line arguments. Here is everything I've tried:

- Reducing graphics settings

- Disabling the recently added performance intensive shadows

- gamemode

- Disabling/enabling adaptive sync in KDE and Freesync in my monitor

- Proton-GE most recent, as well as regular Proton 10, 9, 8, and 7

- WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY variable and -USEALLAVAILABLECORES argument

- WINEDEBUG=-all

- LD_PRELOAD=""

- DXVK_ASYNC

- System updates and reboot

- Verify KDE is set to "performance" powersaving mode

- Verify GW2 files

- Tried with Steam shader caching on and off

- -forwardrenderer argument

- Verify my CPU/GPU are sufficiently cool during gameplay

Here is the game's (debug.log)[https://pastes.io/windows-error-log-wsalookupservicebegin-failures-dxvavda-loadlibrary-error-for-msvprocdll-and-certificate-verification-warnings\] and the (proton log)[https://pastes.io/launch-log-ge-proton10-25-attempting-guild-wars-2-with-missing-libgamemodeso\]. Something I noticed in the game's log is it repeatedly complains about not finding msvproc.dll. Proton's log repeatedly mentions SIGSYS and a dump_unwind, and also mentions not finding gamemode libs, and missing Kerberos and NTLM support.

Searching for this issue only gave me ideas I already tried without success, though some Windows users on the GW2 sub mentioned AMD graphics consistently causing performance problems, though nothing exactly like my issue. I don't know if the recent expansion is to blame since I didn't find many similar issues from within that timeframe.

I'm currently out of troubleshooting ideas so any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

I'm using Fedora 43 (upgraded from 43, but the crashes were happening on 42 also), and I've been having random crashes on games like Dead Space (2023), and Death Stranding. It's always the same issue. The GPU is an AMD 6700XT

reason: wine64-preloader killed by SIGSEGV cmdline: $'Z:\\mnt\\games\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\DEATH STRANDING DIRECTORS CUT\\ds.exe'

I have removed wine and reinstalled, but that didn't help.

I _think_ the issues started happening when I installed Sunshine for game streaming, but I have since removed that but the problem persist.

Anyway, any ideas on how to debug this?

Hey all the kid is wanting to build a custom gaming PC for Christmas. As I'm sure you're all aware now isn't exactly a great time to be buying pc hardware.

If we do follow through with it I was thinking the intel GPUs have pretty good bang for the buck and depending on the games (I'm waiting on details on that from him) we might be able to save a windows license cost as well.

I know AMD is very well supported (rocking it on my PC) and Nvidia is getting better but don't hear much about the intel dedicated GPUs.
