I recently switched from Vanilla Arch to CachyOS, most of the games I installed mostly using Proton Hotfix and cachyos's native proton actually play but produce no sound at all. I tried the winecfg thingy to 'Test' the audio and got no response. Did I mess up something with the sound as a whole? I think I got just one game (GTAV) to work with sound using the bleeding-edge version of wine (the one for Adobe installers) but now using it on Heroic with another version of wine/proton has no audio output. System notifications, music files play quite alright

I decided to update my arch system, and as it usually does it broke my nvidia drivers, I ended up salvaging them with nouveau because "nvidia" alone wasn't working. I managed to solve the resolution problems and my screens.
Mainly by commenting "blacklist nouveau" from "/usr/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-utils.conf"
but now I have a new problem I didn't have before updating, I tried to open a steam game and instead of working as it used to I get this error style box and crashes

Deep rock galactic tries to load and says "A D3D11-compatible GPU (Feature Level 11.0, Shader Model 5.0) is required to run the engine" when loading DirectX11 the same version i was playing yesterday.
The one game for now i've tried and works has been tabletop simulator but it maxes my CPU when it never did that.
After this I tried making a blacklist.conf in "etc/modprobe.d/" with
blacklist nvidia_drm
blacklist nvidia_modeset
blacklist nvidia_uvm
Blacklist nvidia

This is the journalctl https://appdevtools.com/pastebin/LUZxAr
And my specs are: OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Host: MS-7845 1.0 Kernel: 6.18.7-arch1-1Packages: 1237 (pacman), 50 (flatpak) Resolution: 1600x900, 1920x1080 DE: Plasma 6.5.5 WM: KWin CPU: Intel i7-4770 (8) @ 3.900GHz GPU: NVIDIA Quadro K620 Memory: 6927MiB / 15931MiB

I think it must be the graphics drivers, it's what's given the most trouble, it's late in the night, I'm tired and starting to get exhausted with all this shit.

Today I started a game that I play a lot, played for some time, and the game froze. It still ran in the background, I could hear it and still control the game, but the display was frozen. Alt tabbed and restarted, same issue.

Now I can barely start the game before it freezes. I didn't change any setting, and I have no idea why it does this now when it worked fine just a day ago.

Hi there, new Linux user here. I've installed Mint recently and wanted to try how Monster Hunter Wilds runs, specially after the big new performance update. I have a Ryzen 5 7600X and a Radeon RX 6700 XT.

With frame generation on, the fps count from Steam says that the game is running at like 90 or 100 frames per second, but it doesn't even feel like 60. It actually feels more like I'm playing at 30 fps. There's even some big stutters here and there. I tried tweaking the game's settings but it didn't change anything, and of course I've set Proton compatibility on and whatnot. On Windows I was running this game at full 60 fps with frame generation on, even before the new update.

When booting up the game, it tells me that my GPU drivers aren't fully updated, and it redirects me to a Steam page linking to AMD website, so I can download the latest drivers from there. But, as far as I know, AMD drivers already come with the Linux kernel, so I don't really have to install any further GPU drivers, right? I'm still pretty noob with Linux.

Has anyone been able to run this game on Linux Mint with both AMD CPU and GPU without any issue? Should I switch to Bazzite instead?

Hello,

I've just gone From Windows 11 to CachyOS, KDE Plasma running Wayland. I cannot be bothered with the Windows way of doing thing anymore, and having a pop up every third day telling me to finish setting up my computer to get some office 365 deal. This is unfortunately yet another post asking for suggestions for the ideal gaming distro, but not because Im new to team Penguin or because I heard X is better than Y. Anyway, CachyOS. I'm not new to Linux at all, I have 3 laptops and a NAS all running Linux, my main laptop is on Arch so Cachy should (and does) make sense for the most part. What's not making sense however, is the stutter I'm getting in a few places across the OS and Steam, and some weird little quirks that I cannot seem to get rid of for whatever reason.

This is a brand new install on a decent PC - I'll put the specs in a comment below. Steam big picture mode is very slow and very laggy. I've got it set up just as I had it on Windows, and it's ridiculous just how slow it's running. I cannot for the life of me get the panel to disappear when starting a full screen game, the closest I can get is having it disappear altogether until I push the cursor all the way down and I don't really like that. I want it there permanently until a full screen game starts. For driving games I use an Xbox controller, and it took me nearly 10 minutes for it to be detected by the PC via Bluetooth, and then a good 30 seconds for it to actually connect.

For these reasons and not being willing to run into more issues along the way, I would like a distro that is smooth, works out of the box and doesn't have any word lag anywhere. Preferably not something Arch based if this is what it involves on a Desktop, and not Fedora, simply because I hate the name. Petty reason I know but there we go.

Apologies for the "Suggest me a distro" post, but Im not only looking to get away from Windows stupidity, but also make using the PC a smoother experience, which Cachy isn't giving me.

After finally setting up auto mount on Steam, now games don't open :D, no clue what I could show other than what is literally occurring. Proton is enabled, specifically Experimental for this video, but no version of it works.

Other games apply, like Terraria, Sulfur and Marvel Rivals - they don't open either.

If having to format my drive is required then I don't mind (was meaning to do that for an umpteenth time, yay!)

Hey folks, so I recently made the move to Linux and started by using Pop! OS, I've been having a good time so far and got most of my games running fine, the one game I'm currently having issues with is Zenless, so far I've tried two methods to get it running, Lutris and Heroic, as I ran the game from Epic while on Windows, but both systems failed, the game installs fine on both, but as soon as I launch the game, it shows a small window of the game's icon with a red exclamation point and shuts down, which I later learned is a Unity error.

Now from searching Reddit and YouTube I've found people have used Bottles which is a method I wanna try next, but there's also two launchers I've heard of that people use, sleepy launcher and Twintails iirc is the name, however I'm usually a bit iffy with using a third party launcher, I don't know how to code so looking at their github pages really doesn't help me to check for anything fishy, and since I see very little spoken about them online, I wanted to see if any of you could shed some light on this, what do you use if you play ZZZ on Linux? Do you use any of those launchers? Or perhaps there's a way to fix the Unity error?

As per the title, recently switched and am having some issues regarding my mouse in game.

On the desktop and when I'm not in game, it is perfectly smooth, but then going into some games the in-game polling rate is anywhere from 5-100hz, which, in a shooter, is unplayable. If I could have any help it would be greatly appreciated, as I can't play games with my friends :( It's especially bad in certain gamemodes (Wingman was completely unplayable, about 5hz polling rate, but other modes a bit better (40-100).

Rant explanation: my game runs fine but the mouse is laggy, everything is good frames but my mouse inputs

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Glorious Model O Wired (mouse), KDE Plasma X11. Running my games through steam, so far this has happened on CS2. My actual game frames are fine as they are upwards of 300 constantly, no drops, it's just a mouse issue.

Followed this guide for modding new Vegas with VNV (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3610549390) it worked perfectly, but now audio effects like background ambiance sound low-quality/ bit crushed. Later I’ll be able to check if it’s an issue with a mod, but I wanted to see if anyone else had experienced this issue

I can't get it to run completely on my PC, or it doesn't open at all. When I do manage to open it and go into settings, it closes and won't open again. Finally, it's only working on Heroic Launcher, as it won't open on Steam or Lutris at all.

I just finished playing The Outer Worlds 2 on Steam (non-flatpak) on kubuntu. Everything went great. I'm looking to play more games on linux/steam so I tried setting up Fallout:New Vegas and MO2 but haven't had much luck.

I'm thinking of clean reinstalling kubuntu and going with flatpak steam, protonplus, steam tinker launch, and mo2. These tools seam better integrated in the flatpak universe.

Does anyone have any tips or experiences to share?

I usually run 120fps with high setting but the game always keeps filling VRAM until it hits 100%(8GB), even on lowest settings.

Once VRAM is full, I get constant micro-stutter. FPS still says60, but frametime feels awful.

Happens after 30-60 mins, and restarting the game fixes itevery time, happened on the 2nd and 3rd day after launch, thenbecomes perfectly fine and now its back right after i unlock a new area.

I'm on an RTX 5060 laptop (8GB VRAM) which i am pretty sure i can rock this game on 120fps. Temps are fine (55 max). The game is on my ssd.
