Question/confusion over Freesync and or VRR over HDMI?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. April 2024 - 17:09

I have an AMD 6700XT connected via HDMI to a LG C1. Currently via windows, all features work such a freesync and HDR.

Looking at installing bazzite, does Linux currently support freesync and HDR over HDMI?

I’ve followed the news currently with the hdmi 2.1 spec drama but wasn’t sure if this also applies to Freesync premium capabilities. Thank you.

steam appmanifest behaviour

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. April 2024 - 16:12

I don't want my Fallout 4 mod list to be broken with the upcoming update so I want to block it. The options seem to be either set steam to update the game on launch only, then launch the game externally with f4se, or to set the appmanifest file to read-only.

When I read-only the appmanifest file and launch the game steam just generates a new one. Is this expected behaviour? It does it when steam is in offline mode and also with internet disconnected.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. April 2024 - 15:51

I have never heard of "Bud Spencer & Terence Hill: Slaps and Beans". Why does ludusavi think that Superhot is this game???

Do you think that Linux is ready for high-end PC gaming and if not, what's left to be done?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. April 2024 - 15:33

I believe that high-end PC gaming this is the space where Linux gaming presents the most challenges. I think that's the consensus on it but there are a lot of sore spots on the subject. Putting that aside for the moment, I think that Linux being the go-to gaming PC OS for DIYers would be even more significant that the Steam Deck for Linux gaming because of the halo side-effects.

Being considered the best in anything has enormous PR benefits, even the best is used by a small minority because it represents what's possible, even if not cheap. And that's a big deal in PC gaming.

There are those who only want the best experience they can and have little concern for anything else. That's something that I think fits in well with the Linux ethos.

How to lower denounce time

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. April 2024 - 14:58

I’ve been limited to a max of 12 cps on pop os, while on windows I used to get about 25. So far Linux has been pretty good for the last few months but i can’t find anything on lowering denounce time that actually works, I have a glorious model D wireless V1 (idk if the D 2 came out yet). Would changing the debounce time on the mouse using the glorious software on a seperate windows pc change it on Linux too?

Games start on wrong screen

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. April 2024 - 13:32

I have a dual screen setup: big main monitor (1440p) and a little DisplayLink portable screen (1080p) on the left.

I've started having this issue recently, since Proton updated to v9 on Steam.

Games run on the left little screen but they "think" they're on a bigger one: have 1440p resolution, primary display selected in settings etc. If I just move the game window to the main screen by hotkey command, it doesn't go to fullscreen mode and the mouse cursor position is broken.

Tried different Proton versions including GE, but no luck. The 8.0.5 works great, but I don't want to stick with the older version and miss latest features & performance updates.

Is there any Proton params to specify the screen to launch on?

My spec (X11 WM):

Pizza tower stuttering a bit when playing on Nvidia and wayland(hypeland and kde)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. April 2024 - 13:26

In every other game the gameplay is smooth and almost as good as X11, but with pizza tower things are a bit complicated.

On my laptop with an rtx 3050 (was a good deal) and Ryzen 7 5800U with 144hz refresh rate the game seems to be running perfectly

Although on my rtx 3060 Ryzen 7 5700x with a 75hz monitor rig the game seems to stutter a lot especially when running and moving the screen

(both running arch)

I am using the proprietary Nvidia drivers on the both of them with all of them being updated to the latest release

I have tried to:

-rechecked the kernel parameters (Especially nvidia.modeset=1)

-turn off vsync

-changed resolutions

-Copied the settings from my laptop to my rig

-tried to use the Nvidia-lts drivers

-turned down the monitor's refresh rate

I have been trying to fix this for days but no luck, is there a way, option for me to make the game be smooth?

Path Of Exile - Garuda

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. April 2024 - 13:12

Dear Linux Users!

I’m using Garuda Linux with my PC finally: - GTX 1080 to - 16gb dd4 3200mhz - i5-12600k - 2560x1440 60Hz - 7gb/s m2 ssd (read and write too)

When we play in 5-6 player party the resolution became so poor and my FPS drops 7 from 220. I’m using X11 latest updates drivers (not Wayland I switched from login screen already) but the problem still up. Using only 5gb Vram. It using Dx11 should I switch to Vulkan? On dx12 if someone come to my Hideout I instantly crash.💥 Any tips?

[Arch Linux] Proton not working on NTFS volume.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. April 2024 - 13:07

Hi, I've just installed Arch and mounted an NTFS HDD using ntfs-3g. This HDD has a good portion of my Steam games library, such as ULTRAKILL or Teardown, which I've tried to launch with many Proton versions and none of them work.

I have tried the solution of creating a symlink in /mnt/HDD/steamapps/steamapps/compatdata to my system drive's compatdata, but it doesn't seem to be working. Compatdata for the respective games is clearly being generated in said folder, but the games don't run at all—they seem to get stuck on "❌ CANCEL" for a couple seconds and then the button goes back to PLAY, without launching the game.

/etc/fstab for reference:

# /dev/sdb2 UUID=4E52C52552C5131F /mnt/HDD ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,user,exec,umask=000 0 0

Zero dawn not showing linux compatibility on steam?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. April 2024 - 12:51

I'm new to this. Just managed to get arch up and running with cachyos kernel. KSP runs sooooo smooth!

Went to install Horizon zero dawn from steam and it's only showing windows compatibility. I know it works on linux though because there's youtube videos everywhere showing it. What gives?
