Hey everyone,
I’m trying to get Forza Horizon 5 running on CachyOS and I ran into an Xbox login problem I can’t solve.

When I launch the game through Steam, the Xbox login window pops up. I sign in, the window closes instantly, and then Forza throws the error: “You may not proceed without being signed into a profile.”

I’ve already tried multiple Proton versions (Proton Experimental, Proton Hotfix, Proton CachyOS), cleared the Steam browser cache, and reinstalled the game. Same issue every time.

My specs:

• CPU: Xeon X5670
• GPU: GTX 1050 Ti
• Distro: CachyOS

Has anyone seen this before or found a workaround? Any help would be really appreciated.

Is there something like the Nvidia app for Linux gaming that chooses your default graphics settings. On Windows nividia has an application that will choose your default graphic settings for a game is there something like this available on Linux?

Got a Windows 11 PC that I mainly use for gaming, looking to mess around with Linux on it.

Is there a beginners guide anywhere I can use?

Cheers

Hi, newbie here. Anyone use a Minisforum UM870 with SteamOS as a mini gaming pc? I'm debating getting one as I don't need anywhere near latest and greatest hardware but want to play some games, older and more recent.

I'm looking for a tool for Steam that can unlock achievements for games I already own and let me manually set the unlock date/time — including older dates (like 4–5 years ago).

If anyone knows a tool that can do this or can build one, please contact me.
I'm ready to pay a very good amount for it.

Hello there!

Firstly: sorry for my bad English, It's not my native language.

Recently I have been wanting to play monster hunter wilds and Dragons Dogma 2 because I didn't played on launch waiting for optimization updates.

First on monster hunter, every time I move my character, the game freeze for 8 to 10 seconds to load new assets. I have tried to lowe my resolution, installed RE framework, and tried to uncompresseing the texture files (I couldn't, even following the Linux mod guide). Now the game freeze for 3 seconds, but still is unplayable. Is there anything else I can do?

On Dragons Dogma 2 the game runs perfectly, the only thing that happens is: Every time I open the skill menu, it crashes to desktop.

On windows I fixed that by increasing the virtual memory. Searching on Google, it told me to create more swap memory but, I don't know if it's the same thing or how much should I create.

Both games are on an RX 6600, 16 Gigs of RAM, Ryzen 5500 and on the NVME drive.

I'm trying to use V's Fix to play the old GoG version of MGS2 since it's basically the best way to play. I'm having issues though. I tried through lutris but it either doesn't recognize my GPU or my triggers on the controller don't work. Could really use the help, thank you in advance.

So genshin only works with specifically Proton GE 8-16 for some reason, any other versions will just make it not launch, playing it with that build of proton ge worked fine a few months ago, but now the title screen just runs at 1 frame per sometimes, and once i start the game, im back at 60fps but there's frequent stutters which ive never had before, issue persists even after a clean reinstall, im wondering if theres any other proton ge build, preferrably newer, that can work with it and fix these issues because i havent found any other that work

I've grown very weary trying to get the games I love to work (mostly FNV, Skyrim, and some other moddable games). I've also grown weary of not being able to play a lot of games which have little to no support for linux (mostly indie and non-steam stuff).

I want to dual boot, but with my PC files such a mess, I think it'd just be easier to move everything important to my portable Hard Drive, clear all the other drives, and setup dual boot.

What would be the best and easiest way to do that?

Hi everyone,

I'm a Linux beginner and I recently switched from MX Linux to Siduction (Debian unstable) specifically to try out Gamescope. I installed it easily using:

sudo apt install gamescope

I’m trying to run Gamescope because I just want to play Arma 3 without my mouse leaving the game window onto my second monitor.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

• Installed NVIDIA drivers and Vulkan packages:sudo apt install nvidia-driver nvidia-vulkan-icd libvulkan1 vulkan-tools
• Verified Vulkan installation: vulkaninfo detects my GPU (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER) correctly.
• Checked ICD files: /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json exists and points to libnvidia-vulkan.so.1, which exists in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/.
• Tried running: gamescope --steam, which fails with:[gamescope] [Error] vulkan: vkCreateDevice failed (VkResult: -7) terminate called without an active exception
• System: Intel i7-12700, 32GB RAM, NVIDIA RTX 4070 SUPER.
• I also tried the exact same setup on my laptop with Intel graphics, and Gamescope works perfectly there.

I honestly don’t know much about Vulkan or GPU layers; I just want to get Arma 3 running properly in Gamescope without messing up my dual monitor setup.Hi everyone,I'm a Linux beginner and I recently switched from MX Linux to Siduction (Debian unstable) specifically to try out Gamescope.

The game freezes: -with the gfx and inputs being completely frozen and unresponsive, and the sound going undistorted, requiring killing process to stop it;

-freezes happen at random, sometimes every few minutes, sometimes in a matter of seconds. under different, inconsistent circumstances: in dialogues, immediately after loading, during loading, including the one on game's launch, during map exploration etc.;

-the one way to trigger a freeze with almost 100% certainty is to switch to a different window, or to minimize the game window;

-graphics settings and fullscreen/windowed mode do not appear to make any difference;

-tried using different versions of Proton: 9, 10 and Hotfix. Each worked seemingly about as well as the others, meaning freezes occured on all three settings in the same exact manner.

The log (made as outlined in subreddit rules) appears to be far too large to copy-paste either here or to pastebin. I assume beginning and end might be most relevant, so here's the link to the fragments of it:

https://pastes.io/protonwine-debug-log-for-disco-elysium-on-linux-unwind-info-trace

In this case I switched to a different window to freeze the game on loading the save and terminated the process by Steam "STOP" button.

I'm using Linux Mint 22.1 with MATE desktop on a Lenovo LOQ laptop with i5-12450HX CPU and GeForce RTX 3050.

Far as I could find, freezes are relatively rare for Disco Elysium, and from half an hour of searching I did not see any reliable fixes suggested, but considering how bad search engines are nowadays I might have simply missed the solution.
