Hey, I am on a laptop with an amd igpu and nvidia dgpu, and Victoria 3 insists on running on the igpu regardless of what I do. I've tried prime-run %cmd% and __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia prime-run %cmd% with no luck. Does anyone have any clue how to force the game onto my dgpu?

I have a new Fedora 43 build running Cyberpunk with GE-Proton10-29 that is reporting 120fps but it looks like a slide show whenever I move around.

I have installed Nvidia drivers correctly with akmod-nvidia and am at a loss as to the correct settings etc to get this working.

Here are my machine specs:

CPU: AMD 7950x3D

GPU: Nvidia Rtx 4090

RAM: 64GB DDR5

Anyone have any ideas?

This weekend windows truly made me seriously consider swapping to Linux for gaming. Couldn’t even reset itself without an error and OOBE loop.

My question is has gaming on Linux improved enough to a point where I wouldn’t need to have a windows VM. Or should I consider a windows VM and passing through my GPU?

Specs:

CPU: 9600x

GPU: 7900GRE

32GB DDR5 RAM

1TBx2 SSD

I assume me having a full AMD build would help with the transition to Linux? Games I mostly play are Ubisoft story games (AC, Star Wars and some Crew Motorfest), bit of shooters (I know that Valorant basically won’t work). I do have gamepass as well which I hope will be fine.

Literally any info will be appreciated

Excuse my ignorance, but my understanding is a lot of these anti cheats and a few of the games I play require kernel level anticheat. Ethics aside, I don’t see AAA developers really leaning into Linux anytime in the next few years.

As usual, it’s on the Linux community. Theoretically, is it possible to build the required things within kernel to have these games and anti cheats work? Somewhat like proton / wine does, this kernel would have provisions to allow the anticheat to run, even if it’s fibbing some things.

Hopefully this makes sense. If this WAS possible, I’m sure it would have been done.

Side note,

I like using Linux for 99% of things. Unfortunately there are a handful of games I need windows for. And on top of that windows requires an account reset every time I change my boot order or boot from another disc. I’m so done with this OS.

I'm using Heroic on Arch Linux, and I have the game Baldur's Gate III.

The game opens and runs. I managed to access the options to set everything to minimum, I managed to create my character and watch the opening video, but as soon as the game actually started, it closed. The error reported at the end of the log on link below is: 1726 (in the last lines)

I recently wanted to play a Pokémon fangame called Pokémon Anil, which is made with RPG Maker XP. I used bottles and lutris, but for some reason, the game was very laggy. According to the game's creator, to fix this problem, you have to disable vsync. I disabled vsync, but when I try to restart the game, I get an error.

I'm using Debian 13 XFCE.

I'm just another Windows user who’s getting a bit fed up with the latest moves from the OS.

I’m considering taking on the challenge of using Linux as my daily driver now that gaming is no longer a deal-breaker, but choosing the right distro is already stopping me.

I recently became a parent, so I don’t have a lot of free time, but I’m not new to Linux either—I manage servers and do DevOps work as part of my job.

I know this kind of post is probably very common, but you have to understand that people like me really want to “get it right the first time.” Deep down, I think I could adapt to almost anything, but the fear of missing out really gets to me.

Any recommendations?

I’ve recently switched to Linux Mint 22.3 and I’ve tried gaming on Steam. I don’t game that much but I primarily play Star Wars Battlefront II 2017. After I first installed this game on Linux, it ran great with proton experimental and no tweaks, but then it broke the next day and would not launch.

I tinkered around with it for quite a while, tried protonge, uninstalled and reinstalled game, but had no luck getting it working. I’ve heard EA games are not very Linux friendly so I have parked that problem and will come back to it.

My questions cover troubleshooting games on Linux more broadly:

- What are the first steps you usually take when a game doesn’t launch? At the moment I just blindly switch proton version and follow advice on protondb, but my efforts seem useless.

- At what point do you give up and consider a game “borked”?

Thanks!🙏
