Hi, I'm having trouble with running The Witcher 2 on Fedora Workstation (Gnome) from GOG, using Heroic Games Launcher.

I found a post from 7 years ago that had basically the exact same problem but nothing that fixed my case. From what I understood it has something to do with 32bit libraries, but I tried everything I could find and still nothing :(.

I could probably run the Windows version but I'd like to stay native.

This is the launch log:

./desktop-launcher: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory gamemodeauto: gamemodeauto: ./desktop-launcher failed to start due to the following dependancy problems: linux-gate.so.1 (0xf7f6b000) libgamemodeauto.so.0 => /app/lib32/libgamemodeauto.so.0 (0xf7f4c000) libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => not found libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 => not found libcairo.so.2 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcairo.so.2 (0xf7df8000) libglib-2.0.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0xf7c8d000) libgobject-2.0.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgobject-2.0.so.0 (0xf7c24000) libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 (0xf7bf1000) libstdc++.so.6 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0xf795c000) libm.so.6 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0xf7881000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf7858000) libc.so.6 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xf7626000) libpthread.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7621000) libz.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 (0xf7607000) libpng16.so.16 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpng16.so.16 (0xf75c5000) libfontconfig.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfontconfig.so.1 (0xf7570000) libfreetype.so.6 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so.6 (0xf74af000) libX11.so.6 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 (0xf7355000) libXext.so.6 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXext.so.6 (0xf733e000) libXrender.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXrender.so.1 (0xf732e000) libxcb.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1 (0xf72fe000) libxcb-render.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb-render.so.0 (0xf72ee000) libxcb-shm.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb-shm.so.0 (0xf72e9000) libpixman-1.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpixman-1.so.0 (0xf722f000) libpcre2-8.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpcre2-8.so.0 (0xf7192000) libffi.so.8 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libffi.so.8 (0xf7182000) libgmodule-2.0.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgmodule-2.0.so.0 (0xf717c000) libgio-2.0.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0 (0xf6f5b000) libjpeg.so.62 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so.62 (0xf6e7c000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7f6e000) libexpat.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libexpat.so.1 (0xf6e4e000) libbz2.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libbz2.so.1 (0xf6e3b000) libharfbuzz.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libharfbuzz.so.0 (0xf6ced000) libbrotlidec.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libbrotlidec.so.1 (0xf6cdf000) libXau.so.6 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXau.so.6 (0xf6cd9000) libmount.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libmount.so.1 (0xf6c57000) libgraphite2.so.3 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgraphite2.so.3 (0xf6c33000) libbrotlicommon.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libbrotlicommon.so.1 (0xf6c10000) libblkid.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libblkid.so.1 (0xf6ba7000) Launch command: ['/app/bin/gamemoderun', '/home/nobita/Games/Heroic/The Witcher 2/start.sh'] All processes exited ============= End of log ============= submitted by /u/29erna

I am primarily concerned with running into driver or compatibility issues in the OS. I don't want this to be a gargantuan task to configure. I've run Ubuntu for the past few years and this build will likely be on Fedora.

• Powerful primary GPU for some gaming at 1440p 144hz. Gaming will be done on the host OS, not in a VM. I do not plan to pass this one through. 9070 XT sounds like it'd fit the bill, but I've heard there are some crashing/driver issues with it?

• Secondary GPU to pass through to a Windows VM for CAD modeling and other slightly intensive GPU tasks (nothing like 1440p gaming). Was thinking a used RX 580 or maybe something a little newer.

• Not sure on CPU. 9900X sounds like it'd fit the bill. I need a decent split of single core performance for games, but still a decent amount of threads for virtualization. I have a separate dedicated server with more cores, so I'm not too concerned with getting as many as possible.

• Is it too far fetched for this to be a mini-DTX build? I've built several full size machines in the past and I'm up for a bit of a challenge.

Iv starting using bazzite for my new pc build, and now every single day there are "shader pre caching updates" for almost every game i have downloaded from steam. Is there a way to stop these? They dont eat up my storage thankfully but i think its a waste of time

I am running eXoDOS on Linux Mint with the linux patch. The exo-gui is working great and games install like they should, but DOSBox is struggling with my dual-monitor setup. In fullscreen DOSBox is treating the dual-monitors as a single large display and putting the game dead centre between the two monitors, with the side bezels straight up the middle of the image. I presume this has something to do with how X manages dual-monitor setups.

Has anyone encountered this and knows how to correct it? I can play in a window just fine, but would prefer that DOSBox fullscreen to one of the two monitors.

this is Winboat. it's another app just like wine or bottles. except it's not. unlike other apps that run .exe files, this app doesn't provide a translation layer. instead, it runs a full modified windows install on your machine, with EVERYTHING automated. you can still access windows if you want, but it's not needed. every app opens normally. and since it uses something called KVM, you can use it for gaming too. KVM technology lets you just straight up use your graphics card as it was actually really plugged in to the windows machine inside your linux install. this means there's no need to even use windows at this point. you just install this app, install steam windows version, and then you install games and play on it like you normally do on a windows computer. the best part? it runs SO good that it feels like native. you can even use a browser inside it and use it like normal. what are your thoughts about this?

Hey, wondering if anyone else playing AoE2:DE on Linux (Garuda + Hyprland, Proton-GE 9) feels this — the game runs great, FPS solid, no stutter, but the mouse drag feels heavier than on Windows.

Drag-select boxes move slower or cover less area even with flat accel and raw input (SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11, DXVK_RAW_MOUSE_INPUT=1). Tried Gamescope, GameMode, Hypr sensitivity tweaks… still feels about 10–20 % slower.

Is this just a Proton raw-input scaling thing or something Wayland does with deltas? Anyone managed to get true 1:1 input in RTS games under Hyprland?

Ive been trying to play the Division but i have been coming across a rather frustrating issue where Ubisoft Connect will just crash upon launch, I've tried launching the division directly without the launcher but it refuses to let me play without the launcher.

Trying to launch the launcher (directly or through launching the division on steam) results in a window popping up saying "Ubisoft Connect has detected an unrecoverable error and must be shut down", I have followed a set of instructions someone left on protondb to install it through Lutris, but trying to run it leads to the exact same error popping up.

I've tried multiple versions of proton, only difference it makes is the error message not popping up and the game still not launching.

Pastebin for lutris logs

If anyone has anything to help, it would be appreciated

This is the only game i have an issue with loading times and it's honestly really weird, it takes up to 2 minutes or more, some levels take longer than others. Loading a save made on the same level loads really quickly compared to initial load

I'm very confused because i would understand why it's so long to load if it was installed on my hard drive but it's on a pretty good SSD and even more confused because it's the only game where it takes that long to load into a level and start playing

I've tried a bunch of different things i found while searching for a solution, including:

- A bunch of different proton version i saw people use on protondb from experimental to older versions and also a bunch of GE-proton(GE proton actually helped fix light source artifacts i was having, or at least i think so, i haven't tested a lot)

• GE-proton 10-10
• GE-proton10-13
• GE-proton10-15
• And down to Proton 8.0-5

- Having -dx11 flag versus the default dx12 but i don't think that does anything, it didn't help

- Having -skip_launcher flag, same thing

- Going on protondb and trying solutions reported there but nothing worked and i've only seen a handful of reports mentioning problems with level load times, including one from 2 years ago stating using proton experimental helped drastically reduce load times which didn't help for me

The game is installed on a separate SSD and library than where steam if installed, it's installed on ext4, steam itself is installed on btrfs so maybe that's why? Some weird hitman only thing?

My launch option is this: MANGOHUD_CONFIG="fps_limit=60,no_display" MANGOHUD=1 %command%

DISTRO: Fedora Linux 42 KDE
KERNEL: 6.16.12-200
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti
GPU DRIVER: 580.95.05
RAM: 32 GB

On WAYLAND

I have no clue what i can do, it's not the worst thing ever because it plays fine after loading but i would be happy if i could find a fix for it, if one exists

Maybe it's just an nvidia driver issue and i'm out of luck, who knows...

I probably forgot about other information on my system or whatever else, let me know if i did and i'll edit it in

Amazon have today relaunched Amazon Luna, their cloud gaming service and it also merges in Prime Gaming with the monthly game giveaways too.

.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

I've been at this for more than two hours and it doesn't work. I installed overwatch 2 through steam on windows tried it and thought i'd get a little performance bump on linux, so I installed pop os 22 and updated it and every thing, and then installed steam and all the proton versions in the world ,and it still doesn't work, I press play, it says launching for a few seconds ,then crashes, it doesn't even show a window, and nothing appears on the system monitor. It worked fine on windows, I don't know what's going on, please help

Hi everyone, I am asking for help in regards to a laborious test I want to do this coming month. I am preparing a computer to benchmark multiple distributions exclusively for gaming. This means that, no matter if the distro focuses on gaming only and not work, I would still test it. The hardware that I will be testing is this:

MOBO: ROG MAXIMUS Z790 DARK HERO

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900K

RAM: DDR5 GSkill 5400 128GB

VID: NVIDIA RTX 5090

Driver: Latest of whatever the distro has available. For example right now is 580.95.05

Monitor: Aorus 4K 144Hz

Resolution Tested: 4K (3840x2160)

Storage: SN850x (8TB)

Common Partitions: 1 Partition with 2GB for UEFI, 1 Parition with 8GB for Swap

Each Distro will use 250GB and the current list is (Which is 2.75TB out of 8TB):

Ubuntu

Kubuntu

Debian

Mint

EndeavourOS

CachyOS

Arch Linux

Garuda Linux

Nobara

Fedora

Bazzite

Lastly there will be a 1TB partition for steam games that gets shared for all distributions for the test. The games to test are:

Cyberpunk

Spiderman Resmastered

Spiderman 2

Hitman World of Assassins

Hogwarts Legacy

Expedition 33

Doom Eternal

The Last of Us Part 2

A Plague Tale: Requiem

The Finals

God of War Ragnarok

Left 4 Dead 2

Stalker 2

Red Dead Redemption 2

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

If any of the games above have some FPS limiter that can affect results, and that can not be removed via the game console or a game parameter, then let me know to not use that specific game, but instead use another one, or even others recommended for the test.

I am writing this to get help with the following:

1. Any special configuration or optimization for a particular distro that I would need to know about to make sure and avoid that once I do the benchmark recording there is less likely a case that someone says "It had bad performance because X thing was not done". Basically to make sure the best, gaming oriented optimization is done to address most common cases about performance degradation because of something not configured.

2. Any other advices or suggestions to make sure a particular distribution has the best outlook, for example, should I use Wayland on it or XORG? Should I enable a particular app for gaming, is there any particular grub changes for that distro I am not well aware to enhance the FPS for it, etc..

3. Are there any other distros missing here that I considered good for gaming. Currently we have used around 3.8TB out of 8TB

4. Are there any additional games to be used for testing and benchmarking in Steam that I should be including?

5. Anything else needed to make sure a specific distro outperforms others (basically like cheering through the help you give me for that distro) to make sure that specific distro has better FPS overall. It is a benchmark competition after all. Let me best one win. I will also be documenting what was done for each one in order to see their performance improvement.

Thank you.

The built in proton/wine file explorer has several feautures which i find lacking and its really uncomfortable to use.

I'm using MO2 (Mod Organiser 2) and Open Folder Dialogs open Proton's/Wine's file explorer, but would it be possible to instead open Dolphin at that location?

For context i used Furglitch Mod Organiser Linux install script for Skyrim, I'm using KDE and on Arch with Cachy OS Bore Kernel

Is there any way to install games from Epic Games, Ubisoft, EA, ... using each launcher?
I have most my games on Steam, but I also have lots of games on those launchers.

I'm planning to completely switch from Windows to Linux using Omarchy and I want to be able to play all my games. Plus also looking for any programs that I can use with my elgato stream deck, elgato webcam, my hyperx quadcast s microphone, razer keyboard and mouse, ...

Any help is appreciated.
