Bought black ops 2 in the sale today and loaded up zombies as soon as it downloaded.

As soon as I shot at the first zombie I noticed a massive inconsistency between the times I clicked the mouse and the times my weapon actually fired. It works fine for 2/3 shots then it stutters on the next; I also noticed very noticeable stutters after each kill.

I’ve pretty much tried everything I can think of- tweaking in game settings, different proton compatibility layers, launch commands, resolution settings in both desktop and gaming mode etc.

Has anyone ran into a similar issue or is this just common with older cods? I know they are quite dated and weren’t made with modern technology/mouse and keyboard in mind but I find it odd that I’ve only faces this issue with this game when I’ve played plenty off older (10+yo) games.

Any advice is appreciated.

I know this may be very hard since the laptop I’m on is Chromebook hp 11g4, but I was wondering if it is possible to get second life through Linux or kokua ? I went through firestorm but i don’t understand fully what is happening

Alright, so I'm a total Linux noob. Literally installed it the other day, all for the singular goal of playing Sims 2 because it's nearly unplayable on Windows. I have somehow managed to give life to Linux Mint Cinnamon (after a very traumatizing first try with Fedora, lol) and after some issues even installed Sims 2 through Lutris. It is an...unofficial version, so not running through Steam or EA app or anything. And I would like (well, NEED!) to install either GShade or ReShade! (I don't really care which one because I know ReShade is better, but I've been using GShade for months on Windows since ReShade wouldn't work for some reason)

I read this post, but it talks about how you need to run a game through Steam in Lutris. Which I do not, like I said. And since I am a complete and utter beginner, I find advice that is not super specific really confusing. I already had a slight mental breakdown trying to make Sims work, and I honestly know next to nothing about how Linux works (I've just been pasting everything into ChatGPT to explain stuff to me like I'm five, lol) so I can't explain how helpful any advice would be...

Also, while the game runs fine and everything, I followed a tutorial of another player when installing it, and she suggested installing some more Windows packages to help run programs related to Sims through WineTricks, like dotnet20, dotnet40, which my Linux refuses to. I obviously don't understand the errors at all, but basically it did install d3dx9, but the dotnet-s and some Windows fonts it just refused, and I'm not sure if that's a problem and if I will need those for ReShade/GShade.

Super duper grateful if anyone decides to help. Thank you!

Hi All,

I have been using linux on my laptop for years, although recently I decided to upgrade from Windows 10 to Mint 22 on my gaming pc. I've noticed that whenever I load into games with high requirements, my entire pc lags - the mouse slows, my audio cuts out on discord and everything stutters.

This normally only happens when I boot the game up, so for games like Civ VI it doesn't last too long. However, games like RDR2 and Ready or Not are constantly hogging resources, and so the problem lasts longer and happens more frequently. What makes this issue unbearable is how it tends to cause my audio drivers to crash/reset. I'll often find that randomly pulseaudio has changed my device settings, or alsa has enabled a random mic input that makes me inaudible on Discord.

My Specs are:

• Linux Mint 22.2
• Kernel 6.14.0-35-generic
• KDE Plasma 5.27.12
• Ryzen 5 2600
• RTX 3060 Ti
• 16gb DDR4 ram
• All games run on SSD connected by SATA

Is there something I'm doing wrong here? Of course, I expect my PC to get slow when I boot games up, but it was never this bad on Win10. I am posting here because my searches about this issue didn't yield any good advice.

Thanks in advance!

I ruined the game back for like half an hour in windows, but didn't had the time to play. In the time, I switched to linux, and trying to get it to work to properly start the game, but it loads until 100% and just get stuck there, with the popup saying that the game has frozen and asking if I want to shut it down repeatedly.

I'm running in a low specs notebook, but I was able to make it run in windows

Using proton 9.0-4 have an Intel graphics iris xe processor: I51235U 32 gb ram it's a Samsung Galaxy book 2

I've tried to use Linux native version, but it runs poorly in the loadscreans and breaks in the same part.

also, running with vulkan, direct X just won't opens the game

any help? I just want to play and don't really care if I lose some progress, I've just create the character, no big deal.

I switched to Kubuntu earlier today, and after installing the drivers for my RTX 3050, nothing runs at a framerate above 5 fps. I don't know if I installed my drivers improperly, or if there's something I'm missing as I am very new to Linux. This didn't, however, happen when I installed kubuntu to my laptop as a test run.

Info panel:

Operating System: Kubuntu 25.10

KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0

Qt Version: 6.9.2

Kernel Version: 6.17.0-6-generic (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 12 × 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-12400F

Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15,4 GiB usable)

Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM

Guys, i'm not gamer but i think here is the right community to ask for help. I'm a developer and i started to learn typing without looking at typingclub.com. When i move a finger from the home row, the neighbors of that finger also move or presses their default key and i can't prevent that. How you guys do that ? and if there is a video of effective exercise or something please drop the link in the comments

In the BudgetBuilds YouTube video he uses Bazzite, but guesses that there may be other ones that might work better. So what would you recommend?

I’m having a Bluetooth issue where my Nintendo Switch Pro Controller cannot connect on Fedora. This is my only controller so I cant play Steam games. The controller is detected, begins to connect, and then immediately gets rejected with this error.:

profiles/input/device.c:control_connect_cb() connect to XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX: Connection refused (111)

I’ve ruled out BlueZ and the kernel as the cause:

• I downgraded BlueZ from 5.84 to 5.79 (the same version used by openSUSE Tumbleweed), and the controller connects normally on openSUSE.
• Both systems run the same kernel version, so the kernel is not the problem either.

This issue appears to be Fedora-specific and has been reported since 2023 without a clear fix:

• discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/can-not-connect-controllers-with-bluetoothctl/132027/2
• discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/bluetooth-game-controller-only-works-on-the-first-pairing/101489

At this point it seems like a Fedora side regression in how Bluetooth HID pairing is handled rather than a BlueZ or kernel bug. Any ideas? Thanks a lot

Pretty much the title, I'm on manjaro kde linux with 16gb ddr4 3000mhz and I'm trying to play beamng drive, I have htop open to see the memory consumption and beamNG drive always almost takes my whole dedicated ram, I have tried lots of things reducing graphical settings to normal, using zram hoping I could squeeze as much of my ram as possible, I even tried looking on forums for this specific game and I just can't, the game just eventually freezes or gets killed by the kernel OOM killer, has anyone else experienced this or have a solution.

Hey! I want to play Nextworld2 (Hungarian metin2 like mmorpg with his own client) on Linux mint 22.2. I played metin2 and metin2pservers on Linux before, but this game it does not want to launch... I tried lutris, every wine extension, every proton type thing, sometimes the "patcher" opens, runs good, downloads anything that it needs, but it closes (on windows, when you run the patcher, it closes and opens the game) and does not opens it. its not a popular game in this subreddit probably, but as i was saying, i played metin2pservers, with the same method, and it worked, idk why it is not working here. If you have anything in your mind, feel free to share me your knowledge! Thanks!

SteamOS 3.7.18 Beta "Old Enough to Vote" was released by Valve today, bringing in a few more fixes for some annoying sounding issues.

.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

After a long time playing keyboard and mouse, I recently bought an xbox controller and played a few games out. I found a mountain biking game called Descenders and it's brilliant, I don't care much for mountainbiking irl but there's something about this game that gives a feeling of such control over the bike, almost as if you can feel the weight of it and how responsive it is, and landing jumps perfectly gives such a satisfying feeling of flow.

I'm not sure if it makes sense, but would you recommend any other games that give this kind of feeling? Not necessarily about bikes
