Mangohud doesnt show the overlay

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. Dezember 2025 - 19:59

so i know that mangohud is installed and works but i cant get the overlay because i tested it with a command (i dont excactly remember what it was) mangohud vkube or smth like that and the spinning cube showed up but no data of any sort if its even supposed to have any on it

also the data doesnt show up in goverlay either BUT it shows all the data i want in mangojuice?!?!!?!??! Do i let mangojuice make the file and could that be it?

i setupped my config file in GOverlay and my steam is native aswell as mangohud if im not entirely mistaken

https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud/releases link where i downloaded it from i got the tar.gz file so idk if thats flatpak or native

i am on pop_os and system specs are rtx5070 R5 9600x 32 gigs of ddr5 6400mhz cl36 just in case you need that info

my gpu drivers are 580 if that helps

Having many issues running Steam remote play on my Pop Os laptop

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. Dezember 2025 - 19:16

Hey there!

My laptop is running Pop Os 22.04, and I'm trying to remote play my Windows PC running Battlefield 6 over the internet.

Thing is, whenever I click "Connect" from the Steam library, I see a window pop up on my primary screen for not even half a second and it closes immediately. The "Connect" icon on my Steam Library goes from green to a blue "Stop" for a couple of seconds and then it switches back to "Connect", as if the remote play client was instantly crashing.

Thing is, randomly it will actually work and run, but when it does so my mouse cursor isn't being locked to my secondary monitor, which makes playing a FPS completely impossible as I keep clicking on my browser when I try to aim or shoot...

Do you have any idea what could be going on here ? (I'm running Steam flatpack if that's of any relevance)

Thanks a lot !!

Steam game won't launch

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. Dezember 2025 - 19:15

How long should the installation script take to run? I let it run for 10, 15, and 20 minutes. I tried to shut down the dxsetup.exe process, but it didn’t help. I’m using Ubuntu 24.

screen tearing in where winds meet

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. Dezember 2025 - 19:08

I don't want to use vsync because it adds input lag, I want the game to use freesync from my TV. In monitor settings I can see refresh rate says adaptive but there is clearly screen tearing so it's not working properly. Is there any command line or anything in steam to force using either freesync or HDMI's VRR?

I'm trying to connect a controller to parrot OS, but it's not registering any input

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. Dezember 2025 - 18:43

I have a knock-off switch pro controller, which works on Windows 11 (last tested yesterday), but when I boot into Parrot OS and connect it (I have tried both a wired and a bluetooth connection), it doesn't register any input, and when I load ryujinx (which is what I'm planning on using the controller for), it doesn't register the existence of the controller. Does anybody know what the problem is. I have tried rebooting the controllers, testing multiple controllers, connecting both through bluetooth and wired connection. I am using ryujinx v1.1.1403, and 21.0 prod keys and firmware.

GTA V enchanced via Heroic ? How well does it run ?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. Dezember 2025 - 18:14

I saw the page to do this

This I think I may just missed something during moving files around

So does it work okay? At first I wasn't getting anything but then I moved it to nvme and it launched lol. But I think I did force update at one point and only got part redownloaded during move around on hdds.

Doing a re-download now as was hoping to see what enhanced looked like. Don't really care about online just play through single tbh.

I have to switch back

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. Dezember 2025 - 17:36

​I really wanted to give Linux a shot, so I connected an old HDD to my PC (I didn't want to fully commit as I still need some Windows apps for school). First, I went for Mint, but in search of something more gaming-focused, I moved to Pop!_OS. However, after the new update, it became so laggy (I have an NVIDIA GTX 1650 GPU) that it was unusable, so I switched to Bazzite. ​Everything worked for a while, and I thought I finally found a home, but the second I tried to open a slightly heavier game like OW2, everything lagged, and eventually, my PC completely froze. It's kinda sad that I have to switch back to Microsoft's "spyware OS," but at least until Linux has enough support for my studying needs or gets optimized enough to actually run smoothly, I have to switch back... If you have a recommendations I would appreciate any help. Might try cachy before going back to shitdows do y'all think its worth it? Specs: CPU: Intel I5-9600KF GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1650 RAM: 16 GB

AMD FMF on Ubuntu

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. Dezember 2025 - 17:11

Is it possible to get this in any way?

If not... I have tried Lossless Scaling through lsfg-vk. But it has way less options (unless I am missing something) than Lossless Scaling on Windows. I also tried it with Diablo IV, doing 2x framegen from native 60fps, it was super stuttery and the image was poor. Is there any way to also get an overlay from Lossless Scaling, to know when the framegen is working? I mean I can use my eye, I feel like I can generally tell when something has hit at least 90fps (I notice way less going from 90 to 120 then pretty much nothing after), but it would be nice to have an overlay that takes into account the framegen frames to tell me whether or not it was technically working.

I have also looked into global frame capping, I installed MangoHud and GOverlay. But GOverlay seems to be not working at all. I have a frame cap set to 90, when I use the Steam metrics overlay, it will still report 120fps in games, sometimes 180fps when a game first launches and I haven't set a frame cap ingame yet, so it is doing max refresh rate of my monitor. And then pressing Right Shift + F12 won't bring up any kind of overlay. Do I still need to run Steam launch options even with GOverlay? I would kind of just like a global frame cap of 90 so I don't have to worry about games launching and just maxing out my GPU for most frames possible until I can set an in-game limit.

If it matters for any of this, my specs:

9700X
9070 XT
32gb DDR5 RAM
Ubuntu 24.0.3
everything on SATA SSD

Is AMD Anti-Lag worth enabling in cs2?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. Dezember 2025 - 17:09

The title. I have ryzen 7700 and 9070 xt, 60hz monitor. Play with fps capped at 120. CachyOS, GNOME on Wayland. Anti-Lag isn't even available by default, you have to use ENABLE_LAYER_MESA_ANTI_LAG=1 env. variable to enable it. I tried to play with it, but don't really notice any difference. What was your experience with it?

GTA iv won’t launch on Debian 13 and Intel arc gpu

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. Dezember 2025 - 16:38

I’m transitioning from win11 to Debian 13 stable. It’s been overall going great. Steam and proton has been working flawlessly with my library except for one game. GTA iv will just go through the rockstar game launcher, do the game intro then will just crash. Every single time. And it will also crash the steam client in the process

I’ve tried changing to multiple versions of proton 7-10, experimental and hotfix and they give all the same results. Although 10 just freezes and hangs.

Looked on protonDB and the fixes people suggest lead to the same conclusion or the game not launching at all. Adding dx9 dlls with protontricks doesn’t work either.

I’ve even tired installing fusionfix and using a downgraded 1.0.7.0 copy I had on windows with no better results.

Genuinely at a loss of what to do, never had a game just fail this much on my. The only thing I can think of this being is it not playing well with the intel arc card

Should mention the card it an arc b580 the one made by Intel. Paired with a ryzen 7 5700x

Using Debian 13 stable with backports installed

So I’m currently on the 6.17.8 kernel and mesa 25.2.6

I don’t have any extra packages installed for the gpu aside from the kernel and intel non free firmware package included with stable
