Screen tearing when playing with two monitors while a video is playing on the second monitor. Everything works fine on Windows. I tried syncing the refresh rate and resolution, but it didn't help. Enabling vertical sync didn't help either. Affect all games.

Monitor 1: 1080p 60Hz (HDMI) Monitor 2: 1440p 165Hz (DP)

Distr: EndeavourOS HW: 7500f, 6700xt, 32GB DDR5

I use arch and hyprland, JaKoolIt dotfiles. Videocard - rtx 4060, nvidia-open drivers. I installed Far Cry 5 from torrent, like exe file and many others, that means i didn't installed from steam, and I don't launch it from steam. I tried a lot of versions - GE-Proton 10-26 and 9-27, Proton-LG 10-25, WineLG 10-20, and tried to change api (vulkan version), but didn't try WineD3D opengl. Game only launched when I used wine, but game doesn't see gamepad - xbox 360 gamepad, connected with OTG-receiver. With other versions of proton little window with Far Cry 5 Intro was appearing and game was crashing, window was closing.

Also, I wanted to play other game - Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy. It just doesn't launch, I tried wine and different versions of PortProton. Nothing was changed.

Was holding off posting it here, because it might have been a placebo, but it works now.

My original post on /r/PathOfExile2 :

This is a nerdy PSA!

As you all know GE-Proton implemented the unofficial wayland patches like a year or two year ago.

Running the poe engine in truely native wayland without xwayland always worked on poe1 and still does to this day.

It wasn't working on poe2 launch because of a core bug in the poe2 vulkan engine, but got patched a week later by GGG and until 0.3 launch hit we could play with "PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1" and enjoy our near native performance.

0.3 hit and this broke. When enabling "PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1" and no compatible shaders where found ( due to a kernel or gpu driver update ) it would work for one run and then crash on rerun.

Otherwise it would just load into a black screen playing the title music that never ended.

As of this small line here in a recent hotfix :

Fixed a Vulkan client crash.

Its once again possible to play true wayland on poe2.

Proof : here

While this wont fix any of the massive fps problems poe2 has, it will help IMMENSELY with load times. After your initial shader cache build ( during load times ) you will instantly feel it.

Thank you whoever did that on GGG. I bow before you.

May you all have a peaceful and unharmed time!

I switched to Fedora 43 with KDE Plasma two weeks ago, and it's been a great experience, but I've noticed that CS2, specifically, runs considerably better on Windows. I've seen reports saying this too, but I've also seen people saying it runs better on Linux. What do you think?

My specs:

-Ryzen 5 3600

-Radeon RX 6650 XT

-16gb DDR4 3000mhz

Windows 11 using DX

Fedora 43 using Vulkan

Benchmark on Linux using Vulkan

Runeterra was working fine, but now it crash on startup. I would like to know if anyone has experienced the same issue.

hey, I'm stuck between nobara (kde) and cachyos as my main linux

I only play singleplayer/offline games, no multiplayer. gaming is priority but I also run plex and I want it to be stable and not randomly break after updates. normal use too: browser/email, office docs, youtube/movies. don't care about hdr.

which one would you pick and why? which one has better official/community support? any annoying issues with updates, amd gpu stuff, or plex on either? also I want flatpaks like flatseal/bottles/lutris without pain.

parts:

cpu: ryzen 7 9800x3d

I recently upgraded my arch system packages; wine-staging was upgraded:

[ALPM] upgraded wine-staging (10.19-1 -> 10.20-2)

Unexpectedly, this caused nearly a 40FPS drop in Path of Exile 2, even though it was launched through steam. (Reverting the package fixed the issue.)

Does Proton use system-installed wine packages or is there some kind of conflict occurring?

Thanks

For Windows, its always been beneficial to use older hardware for older generations of games, say TeraScale Radeon GPU's for the 16bit and 32bit PC games in 32bit Windows.

However, I find very little discussion on this topic for Linux specifically unless we are talking the Win9x era, or DOS specifically as PCem, 86Box essentially emulates the hardware necessary to run software and games.

However these fall off when it comes to 32bit era 3D PC games particularly from the XP and Vista era as the 2000s PC gaming is really the wild west in terms of installers working properly and just general compatibility, a lot of modern GPU's does not even work properly with DirectX 8 anymore which is an issue as DirectX 6, 7, 8 and 9 were very common in the 2000s.

But its been 15 years since I tried to install PC games of this era on Linux, whats the experience today, can we get away with modern hardware? Or do I need hardware of the era that makes the process less painful.

I have a b550K from gigabyte, a ryzen 5 5600gt as my cpu and i currently have a 1660 super and want to upgrade

I want something modern to play at 1080p with good consistent 60fps and ocasionally the usage of raytracing

In my use case, being on a budget, which one of those 3 i should pick knowing i will be running a gentoo system (wayland/hyprland specifically, on kernel 6.12)?

I want to switch over but I'd like to keep my save data. I played Silksong through GOG and modded it a bit. I'm aware that the file system is different in Linux (I think), so is there a way for me to bring that stuff over with my so I can continue where I left off?

Also, are Steam cloud saves created on a Windows system compatible with Bazzite?

Ya boy is scared but ready

PkgForge covers just about all the problems we've identified with universal, portable packaging for Linux. It's not a new packaging format in and of itself, nor is it trying to replace Applmages. Instead, it's an ecosystem that publishes portable packages and static binaries in curated repositories, paired with a package manager designed to install and manage

them.

Any thoughts?

I've really been enjoying my Switch 2 Pro Controller and wanted to use it on steam but it doesn't seem to have good support right now.

Apperently Steam added support for it in the steam beta via a USB connection but I haven't been able to get it working other than using ProCon2.

Has anyone else got it working? Or is it just a windows feature right now.

I'm on Debian 13 if thats useful

So I recently upgraded to Nvidia GeForce RXT 2080 but when it only pulled about 15 fps in intense spots in Helldivers 2 (with reasonable settings) I found out it only used about 35% of GPU even in those spots.

How can I fix this?

Specs:

Distro: Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon

CPU: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2689

GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 (with nvidia-driver-580-open downloaded)

Thank you in advance.

Answer:

So the problem is CPU bottleneck which is very understandable with my ancient Xeon. (I know I don't two of them doesn't do anything. I got it from my dad so I didn't bother with the extra one.)

Hi all, I maintain a guide on GitHub related to optimizing Linux which I benchmark against games like Witcher, Dota2, Where Winds Meet, etc.

I wanted the help of community to expand it further and to check what I have missed, especially related to NVIDIA.

Hello there,

I use a Debian 13 system. I installed Steam via the repo and added a non-steam game: This was an installer for an old windows game. The installer run smoothly. Now I want to run the actual game instead of the installer. I have tested this:

Open the Properties of the Game in Steam. There, change the target to the actual game .exe file:

/home/user/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/<steam-ID>/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Reise nach Nordland/Game.exe

I also changed the START IN path to:

/home/user/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/<steam-ID>/pfx/

And force the game to use Proton Experimental.

Unfortunately, the game does not launch and crashed before anything happens. Why? What is the correct way to do this?
