My unit have Core 7 Ultra 155H, 16 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD and repasted CPU. I have CachyOS handheld. Stutters usually occurs following condition:

• On enemy encounter
• When subtitle appears during conversation
• Opening up menu
• Very occasionally during free roam

Below are the log files:

• https://paste.cachyos.org/p/33e4221.log

I also attached proton log file. I launch the game with following command. PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=100 PROTON_LOCAL_SHADER_CACHE=1 PROTON_DXVK_GPLASYNC=1 game-performance %command% .

No issue on ROG Ally in same setting and no similar issue other game except Ys VIII.

Proton log contains a lot of these message.

Hi all,
I'm trying to remember what this game was called that i played on a mainstream Linux distro (Ubuntu/Mint/Debian) around 2015, ish. +/- 5 years or so.

It was a top-down 2D puzzle coding game where the code you wrote were instructions for all of the characters. The goal would change map to map. but i remember it was to arrange numbers, or place numbers in some order and thrown them into a cauldron. I want to say that the characters were knights with different colored plumage or helmets ... but i'm less certain of that. It felt like an educational/puzzle title but was available via normal distro packages.
Things i am certain of is the code you "wrote" was very restricted and if it wasn't click and drag available options into the code editor it was something very similar. The code was also used for all the characters at the same time, and there were several characters for each puzzle.

I clearly remember one level where you had 7 or so characters at the top, with numbers on different spots in each column. The goal was to run one piece of code and get all the characters to pick up the number in their file, trade with one another and then throw the numbers in order-lets say ascending order- into the cauldrons. It had purple floor tiles.

Any leads, screenshots, or package names would be amazing.

As mentioned in the title, I'm having issues with getting HDR working for games in any capacity. I'm not new to linux (I've been using it on my NAS/home server for years) but I am relatively new to using it on my desktop/for gaming. I've searched all over the internet, and I can't seem to find anything that has helped or indicates I am for sure experiencing a bug. Here's some details:

• Running NixOS (unstable)
• Wayland via sddm
• Mesa v25.3.0
• GPU is RX 9070 XT
• KDE Plasma v6.5.3
• Gamescope (tried v3.16.17 and a _git version)
• Used proton-cachyos and proton-ge (both latest)
• HDR is turned on in the system settings, `kscreen-doctor` agrees, and my eyes can tell you it is definitely on at a system-level.

I've tried getting HDR to work via gamescope with the following launch options:

gamescope -W 3840 -H 2160 -r 120 -f --adaptive-sync --hdr-enabled --mangoapp -- env PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 gamemoderun %command%

I've tried this with a variety of games, but I've focused in on No Man's Sky for testing. Unfortunately HDR options are not made available in game settings, so this isn't working. I've tried a variety of other arguments, including DXVK_HDR=1 and --hdr-debug-force-output and all sorts of permutations of removing other arguments to simplify things - nothing works :(

I've also tried getting HDR to work via wayland with the following launch options:

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 gamemoderun mangohud %command%

This seems to be working in some capacity - HDR options become available in the menu of No Man's Sky, but the colors are wrong after enabling (overly bright/washed out). I'm not convinced the game's window is actually presenting in HDR besides the weird colors.

Would love some help figuring this out if anyone has any ideas, because I've run out!

Good morning, you, whoever is reading this.

.
THIS- is a short page to explain "why some games have such terrible performance on my Nvidia GPU when they ran at 400+fps on the same computer when using Windows".

This is NOT a post about detailed performance comparison tracked with meticulous benchmarking, because I've already done that other times, and that's not the point here.

.

.

Long story short, if the Nvidia GPU doesn't have AT LEAST 3gb of Vram, it may just hit a performance wall.

This wall is present with games like Source-Engine-1 titles, but not in games like Helldivers 2, while DOOM 2016 actually performs better under Linux when using Proton!

.
My livingroom GT 1030 PC can run regular TF2 at 200+fps, 1080p and MSAA*4 on Windows 10.

The same settings on Linux make it sweat blood to churn out barely 40fps (by that I mean basically globally, not "relative to one location")!

.
I have used a MicroPC with 2014 Intel iGPU, a A10-7870K PC and a couple other projects, so I can confidently say that Nvidia GPUs with less than 3gb of Vram are the only ones which suffer so much from W10 to Linux.

.

.

The RTX 2070 also struggles with TF2 by, at least from my latest tests, still having around 20% worse performance compared to W10.

This may be an indicator that "maybe Nvidia overall struggles with these kinds of games, and not just the GPUs with low VRAM".

.
Now, what proof do I have that Vram is to blame?

This is the same PC maxxing out the TF2 MOD. Altho I've not ran it on W10 on the same PC to compare it yet, I've put to minimum all the setting in normal TF2, and I was getting between 200 and 400 fps (MSAA off).

As long as the Vram indicator was not at 2gb the game could actually run properly.

TF2 Gold Rush, maxxed out, 1080p, no MSAA (*4 gives 160fps instead than 210)

GT 1030, Linux, Space Marine 2

Still frame (internal 240p, FRS 720p)

Frame in motion (image reconstruction failure)

GT 1030, Helldivers 2, normal map, 360p>>720p, all minimum but SSAO

Helldivers 2, city map

.

I've recently been trying my hand at switching over to Linux on my Razer Blade laptop, I don't do a lot of gaming these days but still primarily use it to play Rocket League with friends. I've tested a few OS's and initial testing all looks great, a few small tweaks here and there but generally speaking Rocket League works well via Heroic Games Launcher with Proton-GE-Latest or Proton-Experimental.

On the 2 main OS's I have tried (CachyOS + Bazzite) I have unfortunately found that while playing Rocket League with friends after a while (maybe 20-30 minutes) I start to see some lag, not network lag just the system seemingly struggling to keep up. The weird part is that this only seems to happen when I'm in a party with friends on Rocket League, it could just be a coincidence but I've tested by putting myself in the same situation - joining a Discord call and playing Rocket League for over an hour *without* being in a party and it had absolutely zero problems. When I tried playing with friends yesterday a few minutes after the small skips started to happen the system completely froze - the game froze and became unresponsive, Discord was giving me only brief audio every few seconds and sounded like a robot, no keys or buttons did anything so I had to hard reset. Switched my Windows drive back in and it still runs without issue so it's not a physical hardware fault.

I'm not really expecting anyone to provide an outright solution, I'm just a bit unsure how to investigate this properly, would like to try and fix it as much as I can before giving up and switching back to Windows. If I'm simply fighting a losing battle then so be it, but if there's likely to be some persistent logs that I can dig in to from when the freezing happened yesterday and anyone can point me in the right direction there that would be awesome.

Hello everyone, recently I decided to switch over to linux, to be more precise, pop os because of the nvidia version they have available. I played some lighter games like CS2 and Peak and they worked flawlessly but when I tried to play cyberpunk everything would go south, at first it froze and I couldn’t use my mouse, keyboard, touchpad, anything, even the audio won’t work, I had to force stop my laptop and reboot the entire machine, I tried to force it to run on proton since I saw someone on reddit recommend this when researching to troubleshoot, after that the game still freezes but at least I can use my mouse and keyboard. It’s frustrating since the best games I’ve ever played and I was able to finish it twice on windows. Hope I can get some advice on how to fix this problem. (My specs are i7-10750H, 16GB ram and GTX 1650TI)

I know that cheat engine questions have been asked a lot on this subreddit, and I tried looking for fixes that were already said, but they don't seem to work for me.

I have tried using protonhax and the PROTON_REMOTE_DEBUG_CMD variable but it seems that my cheat table doesn't work.

I am playing silent hill 4 and I tried the cheat table on windows, where it worked.

Is it something about windows and proton storing memory addresses differently? Because it seems that my game's memory can be read, when launching both the game and cheat engine in the same prefix I see that when I click on memory view it reads things, I see values.

Should I try different proton versions?

If anyone has been able to run cheat tables through proton or faced similar issue please comment and say how you fixed it.

Thanks in advance!!

Title says it all. I wanted to revisit Halo for the first time since switching to Linux and ran into this bizarre issue. It especially sucks because 343, in their infinite wisdom, punishes leaving SSBM based matches in these ~20 year old games.

I've already tried multiple suggested fixes (like swapping to an older proton version, deleting the old proton version and then starting up with v7, etc) but none of them fully fix the issue. At best, they decrease the frequency of, but don't eliminate, the crashing while also adding a distracting stutter to the first couple minutes of every match.

What's also weird is that the crash rate significantly decreases after the first crash per PC restart. I can consistently get a few games in after the first temp ban runs out, but this is obviously not very ideal.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hey guys, just checking to see if there is anything compatible to AutoHDR/NVIDIA HDR on Linux. I've used these on windows to get the most out of SDR games while gaming on an HDR monitor on Windows.

From what I understand, KDE inverse tone maps to HDR by default when HDR is enabled, but I can't find much information about if that applies to games as well, or gamescope. It looks like gamescope has a similar functionality with the flags: --hdr-itm-enable --hdr-itm-sdr-nits xxx --hdr-itm-target-nits xxx.

Should you enable gamescope's ITM when playing on KDE, or does KDE handle the ITM for you instead of using gamescope? Is anybody else using an inverse tone mapping solution that might be able to share their experience?

So folks... I'm considering upgrading from my before 2012 Laptops and PCs that still run Windows 7 (I mean, that's all I wanted for gaming from them) and I have dillema, what would be better choice. Something like GPD Pocket or Win 4 or maybe you have good experience with something different? And yes, price is important, size and power is important too... And I currently have no clue. Happily I want something smaller than 10 inch and able to run... Let's say 2023 games in medium resolution 😅 If it could be cheaper than 800 it would be also nice plus... SteamDeck isn't really option, because... It feels a bit too big for me and... It won't be it's main purpose to be gaming device, but rather "all work unit" from working with cars, through occasional media work and office stuff to gaming and data management 😅

I thought that here would be best place to ask that question, because many of you probably have experience with these more niche devices

Use Case - - Virtual machine in proxmox - Streaming using sunshine. No connected display - Good UI for control via controller. Completely without keyboard and mouse

So, I have mentioned my use case in brief bullet points above so that people do not have to read the description if they dont want to. My use case is, I have a good home server with i9 9th gen and a spare 2080ti in it (Old gaming pc of friend). I want to have a gaming vm installed in it whoes sole purpose is for my girlfriend to play games on Moonlight.

What i have tried and the problems that I faced. - Nobara - Currently using it and works well. The problem is it needs keyboard and mouse to launch games. BTW i am using lutris for games because I am a pirate game (ashamed).

• Bazzite - Since the system was completely headless, bazzite dis not like that. I tried using a Virtual display but it did not work in it. Also the due to the immutable naturw of the os made it difficult for me to install anything new like ollama. That is mostly my lack of knowledge.

What I am looking for? - Any os that fits my need - Any good game launcher. I use playnite in windows and I have seen it works well with controller. But it is still not ported to linux.

I have Alan Wake 2 Deluxe edition from Epic (only place to buy it sadly) linked within Heroic launcher. If I start the game it runs perfectly fine BUT it can't connect to my epic account to verify I own the deluxe edition, so I can't play the DLC.

I've read that if I can force the Epic Games Overlay (EOS) somehow, at least once - the game will recognize the deluxe edition and work fine. I use the flatpak version of Heroic launcher on arch. Has anyone been able to find a workaround?
