Trying to run a game I downloaded through a launcher (I've tried Steam, Lutris, Faugus, and now on Heroic) and it keeps throwing the error "System.Exception: Required OpenGL function is not available: glBlendFunci"

using GE-Proton-Latest

Ive searched around, and checked a few things. Lib32-nvidia-utils is installed, the mesa utilities are installed, but running "glxinfo | grep -i opengl" in the terminal returns the following:

Is it chess? Is it Balatro? It's both, sort of. Tabulo is a pretty clever mixture of gameplay elements that looks set to hook you in.

Hello! My problem is simple: I think I have quite a powerful laptop (i7-13700H, 16GB LPDDR5, NVIDIA 4050 6GB), yet it is overheating. I am mainly playing Trackmania, which is not a demanding game, through the latest Wine and Lutris, on Pop!_OS 22.04. Nothing is sandboxed so I'm able to use (or to at least select) my dedicated GPU in game (and it's definitely selected as the performance changes drastically). I enabled virtualization and "performance mode" in my BIOS. Having low quality doesn't really do much, same overheating occurs.

I know I have an H processor which stands for low consumption or whatever, but from what I can tell it can run up to 5GHz (and I've tried enabling performance mode in Pop!_OS and the BIOS to hopefully do this).

I can play for about 30 mins without burning my fingers and having the game slow down. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

hi , i recently had a problem with Need For Speed Underground 2 that made me unable to go to explore mode which i (partially fixed) by setting the CPU affinity to 0 , it works better but still in some parts of the game i have to switch runners to go to certain shops , is there a fix for this and is there a way that i can run the program from Bottles by default at CPU affinity 0 ? i use wine-ge-proton-26 but sometimes i have to switch to wine-ge-proton-27 and some OTHER times i have to switch to the default Soda runner

Remember the classic X-COM / UFO: Enemy Unknown? It's one of my favourite strategy games from the 90s, and now the open source OpenXcom is switching hands.

I've been struggling to get the Hytale Flatpak to run.
I'm running NixOS 26.05 with Flatpak 1.16.1, Linux kernel 6.18.4 on AMD hardware.
When I start the Hytale Launcher, a window pops up for a split second and closes again as the process dies from a SIGKILL signal.

I'm running out of ideas to try. I've opened a support ticket, but the team seems to be very busy. Did anyone else have this issue and found a way to fix it?

Launcher log: https://pastes.dev/fcEhxq97K0

Edit: I found the reason, it doesn't like that my login shell was fish.

Hi.

I'm a fan of physical media and since I don't run windows I've not been able to play a lot of games until well now.

I'm pondering buying a used copy of TES IV: Oblivion (not the remaster) and installing, should I be wary of this approach?

Will steam allow me to register the cd key and download it from there or do I run the risk of "not going to happen, this key has already been spent"?

I know that one can by cd keys from various sites but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

This issue has been happening since i started playing cs on linux, the audio randomly stops working and it does not pickup my microphone either.
Everytime it happens, I have to go into settings and cycle the audio outputs back and forth (like switch it from default to speaker and back to default) and after a few cycles, it starts working again.
Has anyone else faced this issue?

im on Linux 6.18.5-2-cachyos, using KDE plasma wayland.

About two months ago, I switched from Windows 11 to Linux. On Windows, none of the issues I’m about to describe ever happened.

I started with Zorin OS, and even though I was still learning Linux and making small mistakes, everything worked fine overall. Whenever I had minor issues, I could fix them easily.

Then I started having a serious problem that I haven’t been able to solve.

My computer’s performance randomly drops for no clear reason, and the only way to fix it is by rebooting or shutting down the system. I tried updating all drivers, even updated the kernel (probably not the smartest idea), switched from Wayland to Xorg, and nothing fixed it.

I then completely formatted the SSD, reinstalled Zorin OS, deleted all game folders to avoid any leftover incompatibilities, and tested again on a clean system. The problem continued exactly the same.

Thinking it might be a Zorin-specific issue, I switched to Fedora, which is what I’m using now — and the problem still happens.

Here’s a concrete example from yesterday:

I booted the system and only had Firefox, Discord, Steam, and qBittorrent open. I launched Marvel Rivals on low settings and was getting around 100–110 FPS in Practice mode. I played for over 20 minutes with no performance issues (aside from the game’s own poor optimization). I closed the game, then opened LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, which also ran perfectly fine for about 20 minutes. After closing LEGO, I reopened Marvel Rivals, and the performance was suddenly terrible — stuck at around 30 FPS, with the same settings, same PC, same everything.

After rebooting, I opened the exact same programs and the game ran normally again.

System specs:

• OS: Fedora Linux 43 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition)
• KERNEL: 6.18.5-200.fc43.x86_64
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT (radeonsi, navi23, LLVM 21.1.5, DRM 3.64, 6.18.5-200.fc43.x86_64)
• GPU DRIVER: 4.6 Mesa 25.2.7
• RAM: 32 GB

I'm out of ideas and hope. I can't go back to Windows because Linux still has some good points, but it's very inconvenient and annoying to have to restart the whole computer just because it decided to stop working properly. Can anyone help me?

Hello I have been trying to overcome this problems for weeks now and it’s very tiresome.

Every time I have tried to launch an exe game it initially works but then when I try to reopen the game after shutting down my stead deck, it’s says game unavailable.

I have installed the game through steam, lutris and heroic launcher so I think it has something to do with flat packs.

I recently swapped my SD card. Before I had no problem playing exe games on my old SD card but now I think there is a problem with the new SD card I’ve put in. This is weird because on my RP5 it was working properly. I’ve re formatted the SD card and the same problem still occurs.

I’m at my wits end on what to do. Can someone tell me how to make sure it’s my SD card? If it is a flatpack problem please explain like I’m 5 because I find flat seal and flat packs hard to understand.

I would be grateful for any responses thank you!
