This is a bit late but a year ago I bought Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 2042 on Steam. I had read the protondb reviews which said that they worked on linux. Great! they were like $3 and $5 on sale. I was halfway through the singleplayer campaign of Battlefield 1 when EA pushed an update which borked linux support, now both games can no longer run. I wasn't even playing multiplayer, it's absurd that they would revoke access to the "offline", singleplayer experience. I couldn't get a refund since it was more than 2 weeks after the purchase. The only reason I'm not that mad is because I bought them for so cheap (imagine if I had paid the full $40 and $60!!)

Please note, still new to Linux but have managed to get a few modern-ish games to work (UG2, Carbon, MW) but struggle to get older Win9x titles to work. Either they don't work, or no controller support. Lutris has some community scripts for games like High Stakes and Hout Pursuit, but not having luck getting these working with controller (HP) or working at all (HS).

Anyone have luck getting these fully working?

Really loved these games back in the day and would like to take advantage of modern hardware to make these look great again.

Using Bazzite btw.

TIA

The systems/catalogues I'm looking forward to emulate are: SNES, N64, PS1/PS2, Wii/Wii U, and Switch 1, so I'll read your replies throught the day and see your suggestions, thank you!

P.S: I'm on Linux Mint

So I am a new Linux user who just dropped Windows 11 finally. I picked Linux Mint and have been having a good time with it. The only issue I have run into was issues with my Focusrite but I think I got those squared away.

I run the most stable Mesa using Kisak and everything seems great. However, I see lots of people say that Mint sucks and to move over from a Debian distro to a Fedora based distro like Noboro or Bazzite. I also see a couple people recommend Cachy-OS, but I don’t know if I am ready for Arch Linux. Lol

So the question is, as a noobie in Linux, is mint that bad and should I just move over to a Fedora based distro, or is mint fine?

I appreciate any and all comments/information provided!

I downloaded the launcher through Lutris and it works, i dind't have any login errors or other stuff that i saw some people talking about here. However, when I try to download red dead redemption 2, it keeps "processing" I left it downloading for a few hours and the download really doesn't start. What it can be?

I know that on Windows they are quite comparable, but since i'm now using linux 100% of the time, will it be any better to switch to a laptop with an AMD GPU?

I hope someone can help here: I've got an 5700XT on Ubuntu 25.10 using the 23.0.0-1ubuntu0.25.10.1 xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu. Games I play on Steam using Proton 9.0-4 (but also have tried Hotfix or Experimental). Vulkaninfo reports:

I'm having the issue that games just crash my system, in particular UE games (e.g., Far Cry Primal or System Shock). Crashes happen predictably after ~3-5 minutes of playing, every time. When I'm lucky it's just the WM that crashes, leaving me with a dmesg similar to this:

Sometimes, it crashes by becoming entirely unresponsive (an audio sample playing in a loop is a common pattern). Usually, however, the whole system just completely reboots.

It's not a PSU or HW issue: On Windows, all the exact games in my Steam library play perfectly fine.

So it has to be amdgpu/mesa/Vulkan/Linux gaming. Is there anything known to anyone that could point me into the right direction? Thanks!

Hi guys,

I have a G923 for PS/PC and want to get FF on it.

Hello everyone! I've been having an issue with Valheim and Marvel Rivals crashing randomly. Sometimes it's immediate and sometimes it's after playing Valheim/MR for 2+ hours...

I'm currenlty using Bazzite v43 but the problem persists in CachyOS and just Arch (I distro hopped thinking it could solve the issue but also out of pure interest).

Here are my hardware specs:

• Ryzen 7 9700X 3.8GHz
• Gigabyte B650 GAMING X AM5
• Crucial Pro 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM
• Powercolor Reaper RX 9070XT 16GB
• MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850W 80+ Gold

Things I've tried:

• Tried changing the different Proton layer version in Steam and ProtonPlus to Proton-GE Latest, GE-Proton10-27, Proton Experimental, Proton Hotfix, and Proton 10.0-3
• For Marvel Rivals, I've used added this to the arguments: SteamDeck=1 PROTON_LOG=1 %command%. I've also used other arguments found on ProtonDB like game-performance %command%
• I have also added the proton log argument to Valheim. I do have both proton logs, for MR/Valheim, but I'm not sure how to parse through the information effeciently. Just searching up the errors in the logs seems to just dig further into issues that I'm unable to determine if they are relevant
• The only setting in BIOS I have changed was Secure Boot to Disabled and turned on the XMP 1 profile

Thoughts/Other Issues:

• After some research, I've noticed some people are pointing fingers towards their 9070 XT as the issue. But how can I determine if my GPU is the issue? Example reddit post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1pmfwyl/my_rx_9070_xt_crashed_my_entire_pc_in_cyberpunk/
• For Marvel Rivals, while loading the shaders whenever you first install the game/clear your shaders cache, the game would crash with an Assertion Failed Error: https://imgur.com/OyzqztE
• Another MR crash image but the Unreal Engine crash window: https://imgur.com/a4oAFYo
• For Valheim, the crash would just be immediate or my whole PC would crash and I would have to hard resest using the power button. Last time this happened, I just had a green screen and was unable to do anything with my mouse/keyboard

Before I built this PC, I was messing with Arch Linux on my old PC for 1-2 months out of pure interest. I used ML4W dot files and simply just used a youtube tutorial. This old PC built using a NVIDIA 2060 GPU/Ryzen 7 1700 CPU and I still played both Valheim and MR without issue. After building my new PC and reinstalling Arch w/ ML4W dotfiles is where I started encountering this issue. I wouldn't say I'm a complete noob at linux, but I definitely don't know enough. BUT I'm extremely open to learning.. I just may have taken a bigger bite than I can chew...

TLDR: I have no idea what I'm doing or how to approach this issue even after some research... Can someone help point me in the right direction?

I recently got Lossless Scaling since it was on sale for the steam winter sale, and I saw that lsfg-vk is out so you can run it on Linux now. I went with the stable 1.0 version and was able to get it working on The Finals. I had to use launcher options though, it just wouldn't do anything if I tried only selecting the process from the configuration GUI. Made sure it was pointed to the correct location for Lossless.dll as well. In game, I would limit my FPS to 60, so on 2X mode it should be rendering at 120, but mangohud, the steam fps performance overlay, and also the feel of the game were all still at 60fps. I could tell it was running though because especially on performance mode on lsfg-vk, I could see ghosting on the crosshair that isn't present when it's disabled. I also tried running it with other games, but just can't get it to actually increase my framerate. Tried with the pre-release 2.0 version as well and couldn't get that to even find the game process at all. Anyone have ideas what's going on, or what I am doing wrong?

Hi, sorry if I'm making some mistake in this question, I've been looking everywhere and I can't find an accurate answer.

I have MangoHUD configured, and have successfully run benchmarks with csv outputs in desktop mode. However, when I switch to game mode, I can't get it to run. I only get Steam's performance overlay which, as far as I understand, uses MangoHUD under the hood but configured differently. So I need to either get the "normal" MangoHUD to load correctly under game mode, or find some way to get Steam's implementation to log the stats I want into a csv. How do I do this?

Hi everyone, new linux user here and I installed mint a couple of days ago. I have some free games on epic games launcher so I have decided to install heroic launcher to run them. The problem is that I have a potato laptop with integrated graphics, so when I try running the game "wolfenstein new order", I get about 30 fps which is barely playable. The lowest possible resolution through in-game settings is 1280p. Now I have tried a few settings like installing gamescope but I wasn't successful. Heroic says they can't find a compatible version of gamescope on my system. I also tried "emulate a virtual desktop" through wine config setting which does run the game in the resolution I set it to and it's buttery smooth, but the problem is that it opens in a small window and I cannot make it fullscreen. My screen's native res is 1920x1080p.

Help would be much appreciated and please keep in mind I know little to nothing about linux so I need a simple explanation. I don't even know what flatpaks are to be honest

Link to the build video: https://youtu.be/x_8qHucPnIo?si=80mdG3YbWEoVkLZE

I have used the AMD BC-250, it's basically a PS5 board with 2 fewer cores and 12 CUs (essentially, it has 70% of the power of a PS5), and installing SteamOS on it via Bazzite works like a charm, all for less than €250 including the controller (I 3D printed the case, it's a custom design).

The video also includes some benchmarks :)
