Hi, I hope someone could help me out.

I'm trying to play through Dark Souls Remastered but am running into an odd issue. Every time I kill a mob or say enter the bonfire menu or enter a new area where the name comes up, a SHARP drop in frames occurs that pauses the action for about 1/2 a second. When I kill a mob and it triggers the soul transferring effect the pause occurs. It looks and behaves like compilation stutter but I'd think once it's happened once it wouldn't happen again. Sadly it doesn't go away.

What I've tried so far:

• Switching different screen modes in-game like windowed, fullscreen and borderless
• Switching TAA to FXAA
• Different versions of proton, all seem to behave the same but I haven't tested all of them
• Started happening when I switched from Windows 11 to Fedora.
• Tried switching to Nobara as I figured maybe I screwed up the nVidia driver install, so why not try.
• Switched to CachyOS

Currently running CachyOS using Steam native client but I've tested this on Flatpak client as well. Same behavior. I've tried latest Proton as well as Proton experimental. I've searched through this subreddit as well as ProtonDB for similar issues and no luck.

My hardware:

• Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 16IRX8H
• 32 × 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-13900HX
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU

Linux:

• CachyOS 24.12
• kernel: 6.17.4-4-cachyos (64-bit) filesystem: btrfs
• KDE Plasma 6.4.5 Wayland
• nVidia Driver 580.95.05

Anyway, I hope someone has run into this and found a solution. Thanks!

I have the original ME trilogy installed, ME1 and ME3 work fine. ME2 however, after importing, when prologue is about to start, it causes CTD, which is an issue that used to occur on Windows too. I've tried Steam versions using ProtonGE, Proton Experiental so far nothing worked.

Any help is appreaciated

edit: I also tried the EA App version of the original ME trilogy same result. ME1 and ME3 work fine exept ME2 imported character CTD when loading prologue

First of all I apologize, I know that a post like this comes up every day on here. But I have a 7900 XTX and at 3440x1440 some of my games are starting to chug pretty badly. I'm playing cronos the new dawn atm with ray tracing off and in some areas i'm hitting 35-40 fps, which is unpleasant. But I already have the best card that AMD makes...

the 5090 is calling out to me like the green goblin mask but I don't want to lose vaapi for discord and hardware decoding in firefox and etc...

I know that atm nvidia cards have the performance hit with VKD3D but I also know that a fix has been identified for that and will be rolled out in the future, not to mention that 80 percent of a 5090 is still probably a lot better than 100 percent of a 7900 XTX.

So I guess my question is, at the end of the day, how much worse of an experience will I have using my linux computer with an nvidia card in it compared to the current amd one I have?

Thanks for your time.

Hey guys, I'm a proud owner of an ARC B580. Unfortunately, I am an owner of a B580, and I had to deal with volatility for the game I want to play.

For context, I've been playing Elite Dangerous, and I've been running through the issue of the game just freezing up on me when I'm basically near a starport. I am using a git main from mesa right now as I was troubleshooting it. Nothing really seems to work and now I have to figure out how to use logs and stuff. Problem is I have no idea how to use em, and it's the one thing that might actually fix it, as it would allow the guys at mesa to analyze the stuff.

I want to turn off TAA in metro exodus using this mod. It needs to load d3d11.dll, d3dcompiler_46.dll and nvapi64.dll. Checking with cat /proc/$(pidof MetroExodus.exe)/maps | lessi can see that d3d11.dll and d3dcompiler_46.dll are loaded correctly (path leads to where game executable resides), but nvapi64.dll is missing.

i use these env variables
WINEDLLOVERRIDES=nvapi64,d3d11,d3dcompiler_46=n,b
PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1
DXVK_ALLOW_OTHER_DRIVERS=1
DXVK_NVAPI_DRIVER=49729

is there any way to load nvapi64.dll on an amd card? i know this mod worked on my 3060ti.

alternatively i can turn off TAA in the game's user.cfg, but that breaks some lightning.

I bought a 9070 XT and am waiting to be able to get the rest of my components to build my PC, but how is 9079 XT on linux? Last I heard stuff like RT performance was behind windows, but that was several months ago. How’s other stuff like FSR4 and AFMF? I have never used an AMD GPU before (coming from a 3060 Laptop GPU) and I know that the drivers will be light years better but I do like using RT and FSR at times so I want to know if that’s something i should dual boot windows for.

I recently switched to linux and I want to play genshin w my friends. Ive heard that it is relatively safe, but Ive also seen that it violates the TOS. Should I just install the official launcher and run it with proton/wine? Im a bit against that since Ive heaard that its hard to set up. Also I think compatibility layers arent exactly allowed. I know very well that Ill be taking on a risk by doing either of these options, but fuck windows

Hi, I'm having trouble with running The Witcher 2 on Fedora Workstation (Gnome) from GOG, using Heroic Games Launcher.

I found a post from 7 years ago that had basically the exact same problem but nothing that fixed my case. From what I understood it has something to do with 32bit libraries, but I tried everything I could find and still nothing :(.

I could probably run the Windows version but I'd like to stay native.

This is the launch log:

./desktop-launcher: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory gamemodeauto: gamemodeauto: ./desktop-launcher failed to start due to the following dependancy problems: linux-gate.so.1 (0xf7f6b000) libgamemodeauto.so.0 => /app/lib32/libgamemodeauto.so.0 (0xf7f4c000) libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => not found libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 => not found libcairo.so.2 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcairo.so.2 (0xf7df8000) libglib-2.0.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0xf7c8d000) libgobject-2.0.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgobject-2.0.so.0 (0xf7c24000) libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 (0xf7bf1000) libstdc++.so.6 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0xf795c000) libm.so.6 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0xf7881000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf7858000) libc.so.6 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xf7626000) libpthread.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7621000) libz.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 (0xf7607000) libpng16.so.16 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpng16.so.16 (0xf75c5000) libfontconfig.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfontconfig.so.1 (0xf7570000) libfreetype.so.6 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so.6 (0xf74af000) libX11.so.6 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 (0xf7355000) libXext.so.6 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXext.so.6 (0xf733e000) libXrender.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXrender.so.1 (0xf732e000) libxcb.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1 (0xf72fe000) libxcb-render.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb-render.so.0 (0xf72ee000) libxcb-shm.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb-shm.so.0 (0xf72e9000) libpixman-1.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpixman-1.so.0 (0xf722f000) libpcre2-8.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpcre2-8.so.0 (0xf7192000) libffi.so.8 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libffi.so.8 (0xf7182000) libgmodule-2.0.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgmodule-2.0.so.0 (0xf717c000) libgio-2.0.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0 (0xf6f5b000) libjpeg.so.62 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so.62 (0xf6e7c000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7f6e000) libexpat.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libexpat.so.1 (0xf6e4e000) libbz2.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libbz2.so.1 (0xf6e3b000) libharfbuzz.so.0 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libharfbuzz.so.0 (0xf6ced000) libbrotlidec.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libbrotlidec.so.1 (0xf6cdf000) libXau.so.6 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXau.so.6 (0xf6cd9000) libmount.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libmount.so.1 (0xf6c57000) libgraphite2.so.3 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgraphite2.so.3 (0xf6c33000) libbrotlicommon.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libbrotlicommon.so.1 (0xf6c10000) libblkid.so.1 => /app/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libblkid.so.1 (0xf6ba7000) Launch command: ['/app/bin/gamemoderun', '/home/nobita/Games/Heroic/The Witcher 2/start.sh'] All processes exited ============= End of log ============= submitted by /u/29erna

I am primarily concerned with running into driver or compatibility issues in the OS. I don't want this to be a gargantuan task to configure. I've run Ubuntu for the past few years and this build will likely be on Fedora.

• Powerful primary GPU for some gaming at 1440p 144hz. Gaming will be done on the host OS, not in a VM. I do not plan to pass this one through. 9070 XT sounds like it'd fit the bill, but I've heard there are some crashing/driver issues with it?

• Secondary GPU to pass through to a Windows VM for CAD modeling and other slightly intensive GPU tasks (nothing like 1440p gaming). Was thinking a used RX 580 or maybe something a little newer.

• Not sure on CPU. 9900X sounds like it'd fit the bill. I need a decent split of single core performance for games, but still a decent amount of threads for virtualization. I have a separate dedicated server with more cores, so I'm not too concerned with getting as many as possible.

• Is it too far fetched for this to be a mini-DTX build? I've built several full size machines in the past and I'm up for a bit of a challenge.

Iv starting using bazzite for my new pc build, and now every single day there are "shader pre caching updates" for almost every game i have downloaded from steam. Is there a way to stop these? They dont eat up my storage thankfully but i think its a waste of time

I am running eXoDOS on Linux Mint with the linux patch. The exo-gui is working great and games install like they should, but DOSBox is struggling with my dual-monitor setup. In fullscreen DOSBox is treating the dual-monitors as a single large display and putting the game dead centre between the two monitors, with the side bezels straight up the middle of the image. I presume this has something to do with how X manages dual-monitor setups.

Has anyone encountered this and knows how to correct it? I can play in a window just fine, but would prefer that DOSBox fullscreen to one of the two monitors.

this is Winboat. it's another app just like wine or bottles. except it's not. unlike other apps that run .exe files, this app doesn't provide a translation layer. instead, it runs a full modified windows install on your machine, with EVERYTHING automated. you can still access windows if you want, but it's not needed. every app opens normally. and since it uses something called KVM, you can use it for gaming too. KVM technology lets you just straight up use your graphics card as it was actually really plugged in to the windows machine inside your linux install. this means there's no need to even use windows at this point. you just install this app, install steam windows version, and then you install games and play on it like you normally do on a windows computer. the best part? it runs SO good that it feels like native. you can even use a browser inside it and use it like normal. what are your thoughts about this?
