Issues with Discord/Vencord/Equibop screenshare and videos not playing

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 1 Stunde 5 Minuten

OS: Arch Linux x86_64

Host: B450 AORUS M

Kernel: Linux 6.18.3-2-cachyos

DE: KDE Plasma 6.5.4

WM: KWin (Wayland)

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (12) @ 4.21 GHz

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT [Discrete]

On discord I have no issues with screenshare but some videos posted do not actually play the video (only audio). I have tried every launch arguments to no avail, for example:

discord --ignore-gpu-blocklist --disable-features=UseOzonePlatform --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder --use-gl=desktop --enable-gpu-rasterization --enable-zero-copy

This can be fixed by using Vencord/Equibop and enabling Video Hardware Acceleration on the settings but now when I stop my screen share the whole app freezes. Disabling video hardware acceleration setting fixes it but the issue where some videos only play audio is present again.

Is there any way I can apply the video hardware acceleration setting on discord or stop the screen share problems I have with equibop/vencord?

Psychonauts GOG Controller support

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 1 Stunde 45 Minuten

I have a GOG offline installer for Psychonauts (windows), and a DS4 controller. In windows I use DS4Windows and the game picks it up as an Xbox controller and aside from having yo remember X=A, etc, it's all good.

I can get the installer to run (though it weirdly makes one broken and one functional desktop shortcut) but nothing I do lets me use a controller like in Windows. Not steam, not x360ce, SDL2 mapping. Hell, can I run DS4Windows inside a Wine prefix? Or is there something I'm missing?

HDR - Bright colors sometimes get completely distorted or "rainbowed"

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 2 Stunden 11 Minuten

Some games with HDR such as Stalker 2 and MGS delta have their bright colors get crunchy/cooked/distorted/"rainbowified" (I don't know what else to call it) and I'm at my wits end on how to solve this.

This issue does not occur on windows with the same hardware and game.

Below are some screenshots from stalker 2 where you can see how bright lights (looking at the sky from within a cave and looking at fire) get distorted. It's rough to see in a screenshot but I can assure you they look significantly worse on my monitor.

You can see the sky looks a little red/purple here. On my end it is much worse.

The white spots within the fire will be purple/green on my end. They actually look a little green here too unless im crazy.

This issue happens in both KDE and hyprland.
KDE settings

max brightness 400

paper white 200

tonemapping disabled (happens enabled too)

hyprland hdr enabled with this command:
hyprctl keyword "monitor" DP-1,2560x1440@240.00,0x0,1, bitdepth, 10, cm, hdr, sdrbrightness, 1.2, sdrsaturation,1.2

Game is launched with

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1

Or using gamescope with hdr-enabled

packages:

mesa 25.3

linux 6.17.9.arch1-1

plasma 6.5

hyprland 0.53

gamescope-git 3.16.19.r4

No matter what settings I change - same thing happens: bright colors get completely cooked. Would appreciate ANY advice here. Thank you. I'll update here if anything changes.

My Linux Gaming Journey as a Beginner

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 3 Stunden 12 Minuten

I want to recount my experience with Linux as someone who had only ever heard of Linux but never used it before.

We start on October 1st. I was aware of W10 reaching EOL in the coming days, and with my PC not being compatible with W11 and seeing from the outside how messy of an OS it was becoming, I knew that Linux would be my best option. I watched videos from a range of content creators, mainly SomeOrdinaryGamers, on what Linux was and how I could get started. With that knowledge, I installed Mint onto a 2TB SATA I recently acquired. I went into this mainly wanting to test how it would feel and with the goal of dual-booting with W10.

The onboarding experience was smooth. I got the OS up and running in no time. I installed Steam, and alongside creating a ProtonDB account, I installed the first few games I thought would work best for a test.

LSS with Steam games, most of the games that I tried out work well out of the box. At one point, they all stopped working IIRC due to some permissions clashing, but the timeshift feature worked wonders there. Modding games has been a mixed bag. While most games worked just fine with mods, a couple either wouldn't register in-game or would break the game altogether. The exact reasons why vary by game.

The next thing I wanted to try was emulation. As of now, I have RetroArch, Dolphin, PCSX2, shadps4, and Eden installed separately while Lutris handles RPCS3 and Cemu. I transferred my ROMs from my W10 drive, and as of now have experienced an improvement in compatibility and performance despite running on a slower drive. RPCS3 and shadPS4 have been much smoother on Mint than W10 for me, while the other emulators have been similarly smooth. Only issue as of now is having to point my game directories every other time; still not sure why that's the case.

Overall, it's been more fun than I anticipated. Still some headaches to go through, but nearly as hard as I feared. I attribute a lot of that to this community as well. Thank you all for being so welcoming and helpful! To 2026 being the year of Linux!

Update about my last post: TL;DR I hate this, what in god's name do I do? please help. most recent log included

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 5 Stunden 10 Minuten

https://preview.redd.it/w3cnm207encg1.png?width=652&format=png&auto=webp&s=93289f0c52c9eca7d754385e9677c08e6962c01c

So, back to square one; FO4 won't launch again

followed the actual tutorial on installing MO2, it had to delete the old compatdata prefix (archived) and create a new one

this is where the issue comes out: it seems doing anything to the old prefix bricks the game; it gives me the launching notification but then stops, never booting up

I've tried uninstalling and purging the whole thing from the terminal before reinstalling Steam flatpak and it still wont work (Now that I think about it, even after uninstalling, all the files were still there in the .local section. Do I need to just delete those too or would it cause further issues?)

had the old prefix backed up and pasted it all in the compatdata folder, and nothing

installed Steam Launcher from the Mint software manager and I still get the same result

trying to run Steam from the terminal either tells me to install the steam-installer or com.valvesoftware.Steam: command not found

so now afaik I can't play FO4 using either the .deb or Flatpak versions, god I feel like I'm going to be sick and I'm wondering if I should do a full distro reinstall from scratch again

That or attempt to install FO4 via Bottles and FitGirl Repack since all of this seems to stem from Steam having a major malfunction

At this point the only thing keeping me from just going back to Windows is all the shitty AI ads and spyware that would consume my memory along with the generally bad direction Microsoft is going with Windows 11 (heard attempts at de-bloating are hit n miss and Microsoft just resets it all again anyway)

this especially sucks because I've genuinely liked my Linux experience so far even with all the headaches; and it's not the games themselves that are the issue, it's the endless hoops from just trying to get mod managers to actually work that have so far resulted in semi-bricked games

Told a more experienced friend about what's going on and even he said he doesn't understand why I'm having so many problems with it

Personal gaming recommendations/equivalents without oppressive anti-cheat?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 5 Stunden 21 Minuten

Hello! I've been using Ubuntu for a few months now with little to no issues.

My switch from Windows happened uneventfully, being able to carry on with pretty much everything I usually do on a computer like normal. However, I've gotten lost on terms of games...

I've been craving some good ol' competitive multiplayer games like Fortnite and COD but due to their horrible anti-cheats I can't play them on my system, so I'm here looking for some recs for games I might not have heard of prior.

I'm into things (other than Fortnite and COD) like OW, CS2, Arena Breakout, and PUBG (mobile).

I do enjoy MOBAs but I usually prefer mobile ones like MLBB or Honor of Kings as DOTA2 makes my brain melt a little bit lol

Trouble with ProtonTricks. Trying to mod games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 6 Stunden 18 Minuten

I've been trying to use Protontricks to run .exe and .bat files in order to mod KOTOR to play in widescreen. Here's my system:

https://preview.redd.it/dx2f1ph92ncg1.png?width=421&format=png&auto=webp&s=6e4d0586c1f01ecc1d90154ca9b37647edd16592

I know protontricks has to find the game's compatdata in order to run the right environment, but the app can't seem to find the right directory.

For clarity, I'm playing the steam version of KOTOR. I installed Steam through Snap and the version is:

https://preview.redd.it/voamcesx2ncg1.png?width=477&format=png&auto=webp&s=7e7e9e8cee264dc05906909f95f1160fc5920880

When I try to search for games with Protontricks with protontricks -l, I get this:

https://preview.redd.it/1h7p85f53ncg1.png?width=1574&format=png&auto=webp&s=17ccbbe22c6fb1e60f94098d898478a275b0f25d

The file path used to search for the steam library is wrong. I have two NVMEs in my system the first one has my root installation, the second NVME has all my steam games. This NVME is mounted to a folder on my desktop labeled SecondDrive. The real path is this:

/home/timothy/Desktop/SecondDrive/SteamLibrary

But when I try to run protontricks with the STEAM_DIR environment variable, I get this:

https://preview.redd.it/5lg6h6yf3ncg1.png?width=1201&format=png&auto=webp&s=541b2cba0c2b0f5c7318b5ea41df6b1db29c1b03

As you can see from my working directory, this is a real directory on my system, so I don't know why the app doesn't see this as a valid steam installation.

I would like to get this working and perhaps mod other games in the future. If there's some way to mod the game without going through Protontricks, or an easier way to run .exe or .bat files, that would be nice.

CachyOS Bluetooth headset voice config

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 6 Stunden 26 Minuten

Ok, CachyOS, having issues with headset.

Logitech G435 Bluetooth. Arc raiders, if it matters.

I can only get voice to work in game if I set the headset’s profile to “Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP, codec mSBC)” or “…codec CVSD)”.

Both profiles apply to both output and input, and make game sound distant and tinny. Both profiles make everything mono.

I have 3 other options for profiles, all “High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink, codec SBC)” or “…codec SBC-XQ)” or “…codec AAC)”, which makes the audio sound fuller and as it should sound.

But if I use any of these profiles, I get no voice.

I did notice with I tested the mic in Steam the voice test playback was richer.

But I can’t get good output and any input except to use a headset head unit profile for both input and output.

Any thoughts?
