Every time I try to open GTA 5 Enhanced, I get this Rockstar launcher update error. If I click OK, the game just doesn't open and gets stuck on an infinite loading screen. Does anyone know how to solve this? (Note: This happened out of nowhere. One day I was playing normally, closed the game to open another, then tried to open GTA again and this message started appearing, without me having done anything, downloaded anything, restarted or turned it off.)

My system description: Kernel: Linux 6.18.5-zen1-1-zen OS: Arch Linux (with Wayland) GPU: RTX 4060 (I've already updated the drivers to the latest version)

Hello I want to install linux on my HP Victus 15-fa1093dx with specs :

Intel Core I5-13420H

Nvidia RTX 3050 6gb

8 gb Ram

512 gb nvme

But I always face a problem with sleep/wake it takes longer time than windows and I tried many ways but nothing solved the problem the only way that helped me is using only integrated gpu but I want to use it on hybrid mode like on windows to be able to do my development work and gaming so can I achieve this or not ? :(

note:

I tried many distros like fedora, blufin and popos-nvidia

I'm trying to run Divinity:Original Sin Enhanced Edition (native) through lutris but for some reason v-sync seems to be enabled, even though I disabled it in the in-game settings. I also made sure mangohud present mode is "unset" through goveraly. So I'm confused as to why the v-sync still persist. Any help would be appreciated.

I've been trying to get the best possible frame pacing with no tearing. I play on a 120hz oled with VRR.

I'm really confused about the way Mangohud and the allow tearing setting under Display options interacts.

Allow tearing is enabled by default in a new install on Cachyos. Meaning that vsync must be enabled another way ie in the games own options otherwise tearing will be present. And with vrr (adaptive set to automatic in display settings). Frame should be capped to 116. I do this using dxvk frame rate in steam launch options.

This works OK but I read a lot of difference of opinion about the best combo of vsync settings etc for latency and smooth frame pacing.

I play non competitive stuff on a big TV so frame pacing is most important to me.

I've seen people say to just let the OS handle all the vsync, ie have allow tearing turned off in display settings, adaptive sync set to auto, turn off vsync in games, and enjoy! This works OK but I can't shake the feeling that having allow tearing turned ON in display settings, and having vsync ON in game, results in better frame pacing. Would be interested to know if this has any basis in reality.

And I'm confused with how mangohud vsync options are supposed to work. In launch options in steam I can set mangohud to do 1, 2, or 3, 1 for off, 2 for mailbox, and 3 for fifo, if I'm using 2 or 3 presumably I would disable vsync in game. I can also set present mode so I can see in the mangohud overlay if its immediate, mailbox, or fifo - so I can see if it's activated correctly or not.

But it doesn't work like I'd expect.... If I have allow tearing ticked in display settings, and set vsync 2 or 3 in launch options with mangohud, I swear to god I get tearing, Mangohud is saying mailbox or fifo but the game is clearly tearing. Shouldn't mangohud supercede the allow tearing display option? If I enable vsync in game the tearing goes away.

Any thoughts? I'm new to all this but baffled as to how it's SUPPOSED to work. My other launch options are to use wayland, use latest dlss, use hdr, nothing crazy I don't think....

Context: my WD2 copy came from the high seas

Games that needs Heroic Launcher are stored in a NTFS external hard drive and games worked without any problems except WD2, what should I do to fix this?

I'm sorry if this question should be on a different sub, this is the only sub I thought I could ask about Linux gaming.

I'm just switching from Windows, and I don't know why I thought this wouldn't be too much of a problem, but I'm really bashing my head against the wall here. I have no idea how to use Wine or Proton (outside or inside Steam) and I'm trying to use Lutris, but I have no idea how that works either and every time I give it a game, it always throws some error that doesn't mean anything to me. I kept a secondary hard drive with a ton of stuff on it, and I planned to just do something like this, but I can't for the life of me get this to work. I don't know how to get Proton to work with Steam either. Every time I try to run a game, it just says it's running for a second, and then gives up. It won't even say It's running anymore, no errors or nothing. Can someone please explain how to use these things? Please, I just want to game!

Now I'm even more interested in Dandelion Void! It looks like Project Zomboid in space with plant-based horrors and now it will get multiplayer.

Finally have Links 2003 installed and working by following this very detailed guide. There is also an active community supporting online tournaments. (I have used the original CD's but the game is also availble to purchase and download.)

A developer has submitted a draft to the KDE team for KWin to hook up a full Plasma VR mode and it looks pretty awesome.

Hello there,
I use and like both SteelSeries and Linux (ChachyOS).
I was looking for some help to get an alternative for the lighting since SteelSeries GG won't run on Linux, or at least I didn't get it to work properly.
OpenRGB may work for some but my Steelseries Apex Pro TKL Wireless and the Arena 9 Speakersystem won't show up.
I really don't want to switch back to Windows, but I do miss the immersive feeling that the lighting gave me when matched to the screen (pretty much like Ambilight).
Since I already have everything I need for my needs, it's not an option to buy new/other lights.
Maybe someone has an idea.
I'm also in need of a good EQ program.
I'm happy for some ideas and recommendations.

~Daik

Hey guys. I'm a newcomer to Linux, fleeing from the Winpocalypse.

The last three months I've tested multiple distros in my journey to find something that Just Works (tm).

And I should say I'm using a newer Nvidia laptop, which adds a lot of frustration for a beginner. I also want to share my take on what needs to be done until Linux is ready for the masses.

Here's my experience:

Ubuntu

Lack of customization made me switch to Mint.

Linux Mint

Lauded as a beginner friendly distro. But is it really?

The setup was easy enough, everything seemed to work out of the box.

Then I updated the drivers and chose the newest Nvidia driver.

Mint then stopped detecting my external monitor. I spent my entire evening reading documentation trying to figure it out. Thankfully, someone told me on Reddit to disable Secure Boot and also roll back to an earlier Nvidia driver.

I think large warning signs are advisable during first time install, if an Nvidia GPU is detected. It should say something like "remember to turn off secureboot and do not use the most recent nvidia driver"

After I fixed this issue, a bunch of others cropped up:

• Only 480p shown on YouTube and Netflix (even with 1080p selected)

• Games would run slow, compared to what I expected from the hardware

• The Cinnamon interface was a bit... slow or unresponsive.. I would have to wait for 1-2 seconds every time I clicked on the start menu in the bottom left.

• I use fractional scaling, and Mint would frequently zoom the entire interface into the top left on boot. There was no easy solution to this.

Eventually Mint started crashing regularly as I tried to fix the scaling issue. So I switched to Fedora.

Fedora KDE

The live image worked fine and everything functioned as expected.

But after install, the boot screen would be stuck, spinning endlessly on the KDE/Fedora logo.

Cue a long evening of troubleshooting.

I learned that when using Nvidia, you need to boot Fedora KDE with -nomodeset, until you can install Nvidia drivers.

A warning would have been nice.

After that, I had issues with:

• Finding the apps I wanted (I need to enable repos and stuff? I selected the Nvidia repo or RPM, does that mean the driver is installed? Where to I download Heroic? Where do I download Signal?)

• Fully disabling mouse accel and smoothing (felt like dragging a glue stick across the screen).

• Fractional scaling was slightly buggy (flashing white lines at edge of screen).

I spent some time trying to fix this, then jumped to another Fedora variant.

Fedora Cosmic

Brightness controls didn't work for external monitor. Lacking apps and settings. Not ready for daily use. Fractional scaling worked fine, though, which was nice.

Bazzite

It just works. This distro is a completely superior experience to everything else I have tried.

The only issue I have now is that the scaled monitor is slightly blurry. Any idea how to fix?

My biggest takeaway from this experience is that Linux distros need to become more beginner friendly if they want mass adoption.

Most people will not spend their evening figuring out -nomodeset for a non-booting Fedora. Or accessing the BIOS to disable secure boot to get HDMI to work. How many people know what a BIOS/UEFI is?

Nor will they spend months testing out distros. People want something that works out of the box.

Regardless, after three months, I am very glad that I finally found something that works. I would much rather use an OS that respects me, rather than trade convenience for privacy.

Hope you enjoyed my TED talk.

I'm running Gentoo Linux and I downloaded and ran DLSS Updater to upgrade my games to 4.5. however the program does not find or recognize any of my games.

Anyone have a similar issue and if so how did you fix it?
