I am gaming on the SteamDeck and trying to understand how Protonhax (that can be used to get CE to run alongside a game) differs from normal Proton.

I've been trying for almost a year on and off to get Elden ring to work. I have Kubuntu 22.04, steam from the .deb and an AMD GPU.

I tried everything I could think of before figuring out that the problem was that Elden Ring wants a 32-bit version of Mesa. The one in my version of Kubuntu was too old and I was unable to cross-compile a 32-bit version. The 64-bit version I compiled allowed me to play everything else without problems.

Turns out flatpak Steam uses a flatpak Mesa which has a fairly current 32-bit version. It just works. Just had to make sure to unset env variables such as VK_ICD_FILENAMES.

Figured that I should post this since other people seemed to also have problems running it.

So I've got Helldivers 2 and running it without the external monitor connected with PRIME offload actually runs the game on my Nvidia RTX 3050 in laptop meanwhile while connecting the external display game is not able to run with PRIME offload, it always runs on AMD iGPU. Any help? My distro is Fedora 39 with GNOME On Wayland. Latest Nvidia closed-source drivers

Now that immersed supports Wayland I've been meaning to swap to Linux again, but I'm split between the DEs listed in the title. For reference I use immerse quite a bit. But there's an issue in KDE that makes using it with immersed troublesome, the virtual display feature is hard-coded to 1080p, even with the dbus script in their discord, and last I remember the virtual displays aren't hardware accelerated when I tried it with weylus on Garuda Linux. So I'm tempted to go to Gnome. Any other downsides, or maybe advantages, between the two?

Launcher says that game is not installed.

after i added "HKLM,SOFTWARE\Wow6432node\Bethesda Softworks\FalloutNV,"Installed Path",,"/home/cvrsed/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Fallout New Vegas enplczru"" to wine.inf. "install" button changed to "play" but it shows error "unable to locate the INI file. please reinstall fallout".

also tried to add "[Software\\Wow6432Node\\Bethesda Softworks\\FalloutNV] 1627669000

"Installed Path"="/home/cvrsed/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Fallout New Vegas enplczru"" into /home/cvrsed/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/1887720/pfx/system.reg nut it didnt affected anything

checking files in steam shows that 1 file is corrupted and will be reinstalled

im sure that issue is in path somewhere.

im using linux mint 21.7, official Fallout: New Vegas PCR on steam, Proton 7.0, and nvdida videocard.

will be grateful for help.

Hi all. After running windows for a bit on my new PC build for gaming tests, I decided to return to Arch. Before building my new PC, I daily drove Arch for about 6 months with Plasma under Wayland for gaming, and overall had slightly better performance in games than I did with Windows 11. This has not been the case for my new computer, despite being an all-AMD build like my last system. When entering games, I'm noticing worse overall framerates, and really bad choppiness overall that seems to fluctuate (noticeable mostly in mouse cursor movements.) Out of curiosity, I booted up plasma with X11, and it doesn't seem to be an issue at all there. I may just end up sticking to X11 to resolve this issue for now, but I'm wondering if there's something I'm completely overlooking here?

Hardware:

cpu: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

gpu: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT

ram: 32GB DDR5 5600MHz

mb: ASRock B650M

All software is up to date, including mesa, vulkan-radeon, and the 32 bit versions of each.

Hello!!,

I'm new to linux (I have no idea), but I would like to install it on my laptop and I want to have a version that is compatible for both gaming and programming, I usually play a little LoL, some steam stuff like Baldurs gate 3, Darkest Dungeon, FM23, etc ... and then I'm learning on my own to program.

So I would like to have a version that has some compatibility ocn games I can understand that some fail me and above all to program do not have any problem.

Thank you all very much for reading me and thanks in advance.

it also does the same thing with mod organizer 2, I waited but nothing happens and I don't really know what I should do.

Good afternoon Reddit,

I was hoping to find a way to prevent/remove AntiMicroX from detecting my logitech wheel as it removes force feedback in some games, but I couldnt find anything, any help will be appreciated.

Cheers, MrCheese

Can we all agree, that valve is the reason why linux is useable in gaming? Without proton, 90% of games in steam would be unplayable. Or imagine if steam wasn't in linux at all? (almost) No one would switch to linux if that would be the case.

​

Don't get me wrong. I don't think valve is the best company or anything. It has faults, but we cant deny their pushes to make linux mainstream.

Double posting from the Eiyuden sub but I guess id try my luck here.

In anticipation of hundred heroes launching soon. I wanted to ask the community if anyone has been playing under linux/proton and has found a way to import the save game from Rising into Hundred Heroes? (Or any other game that supports save importing from a different game.)

Im not sure if simply moving the saved game from the Rising prefix into the Hundred Heroes prefix is enough.

Does anyone have any information or experience with this?

Thank you!

It runs amazing on my linux mint! Besides the game being so fun and one of the best survival games I've played, I was pleasantly surprised of how well it runs in my computer (which GPU and CPU are about 5-6 years old), I'm playing with Proton GE 9.4 and the game runs super fluid, I was able to run High settings with 90fps, no graphic bugs, no framerate drops, no crashes, it was extremely smooth! This is probably the most recently released game I've played on my linux mint and I just wanted to share the experience about it! 😁

I saw an old thread about this and it wasn't figured out there either although someone said ops card (1080) wasn't supported but I have a 4070 super and a Dell G27Q. VRR works in Windows and I can force it to be on in X11 by adding the override to xorg.conf (although with dual monitors it doesn't work anyway unless I turn off one of them which I haven't tested tbh but it says enabled in nvidia settings after the override) but I have no idea how to do that in Wayland. Do I have to edit the edid file? I also have two monitors, the other monitor is a 24" that has vrr support validated but its 1080p and I use it as a second monitor, definitely don't wanna use it as my main.

Hello,

I've been trying to get my Switch Online N64 controller working on Fedora 39, kernel 6.8.6.

I saw that apparently an update to the hid-nintendo driver was included in the kernel starting with 6.8 that should enable support for this? However, when I connect my controller, the only thing I can do is control the mouse with the analog stick, and the mouse buttons with the C-buttons. I swear I had this working on a previous install like 6 months ago, but I'm a little stumped now... any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have jstest-gtk installed, and it doesn't even list the N64 controller at all. Steam doesn't recognize it, either. I'm not sure what logs would be relevant for this scenario, but I will provide any particular logs if requested.

so, a server side anti cheat, is it reliable?
Anomaly 3: The State of CS2 and Why I’m Quitting
Game-breaking bug makes CS2 cheat commands accessible to all

i know people are quitting because of the cheaters, if it's not a server side anti cheat, what would be the solution to keep support for Linux?
