Ive been thinking about switching from Mint to CachyOS, but Im worried that I have to reinstall all my games since my internet isn't that fast.

Most of my steam games are on a seperate hard drive, so would it be possible in a way for steam to automatically detect them without having to reinstall them?

When i try to download efootball from steam it is always getting stucked after a certain period like after 94%

But i have downloaded other games without an issue. I have enough space and i have tried verifying file integrity/uninstalling and clean reinstall/removed all steams download cache and then re-downloading again. But nothing seems to do the trick

I am on bazzite os and i made a report already in steam this was their response

Hi there!

Happy to share a new release of my unofficial continuation of the DXVK 1.10.x branch, designed to assist users still relying on the 1.10.x releases by backporting per game configurations, fixes and more: DXVK-Sarek "Late Anniversary".

This release brings two big additions: dyasync (Dynamic Asynchronous Pipeline Compilation, replacing the old async patch, now enabled by default on a single unified build) and the port of d7vk, which adds D3D3, 5, 6 and 7 support to DXVK-Sarek. On top of that, a ton of upstream fixes and backports have been integrated, so more games should work out of the box, and if they don't, feel free to create an issue on the repo.

Heads up: Proton-Sarek is discontinued with this release. Proton-CachyOS is now the officially supported way to use DXVK-Sarek with Proton (full reasoning is in the release notes).

More info can be found on the release page. Thanks for reading, share this with people that are stuck on the 1.10.x branch, hope this helps and GLHF!

I'm excited for some SimCity 2000!

This is the SC2k installer running on Wine on my Linux Mint laptop. It's from the Windows 95 version of the game, which uses a 32-bit exe for the game but a 16-bit exe for the installer.

It's a 16-bit app running in a 32-bit Wine process proxied through Wine's upgraded 64-bit WoW64 stack.

It can't be installed with the installer on Windows anymore because 64-bit Windows has removed all 16-bit support and Windows 11 is 64-bit only!

The game also runs great minus the MIDI music, still working on that in my prefix.

Hi r/linux_gaming,

I maintain a handheld gaming database that pulls together Steam compatibility data, ProtonDB reports, and current deals. Ran a comparison tonight and noticed some interesting patterns between Valve's Deck Verified program and ProtonDB community ratings.

Games where both agree (Verified + Proton Platinum):

Game Completion Time Current Price Balatro 7.5h Full price Celeste 8.3h Full price Stray 5.1h Full price Outer Wilds 17.1h Full price Hi-Fi RUSH 11.2h Full price Dead Cells 14.1h Full price DREDGE 9.7h Full price Pizza Tower 6.3h Full price Castle Crashers 7.2h Full price Hotline Miami 5.2h Full price

Games where they disagree — Playable on Deck but Proton Platinum:

Game Completion Time Why "Playable"? Schedule I 16.3h UI elements benefit from mouse LISA: The Painful 10.8h Virtual keyboard needed Dead Space 2 9.1h Control remapping recommended PARANORMASIGHT 12.1h Interface quirks

And the reverse — Verified on Deck but no Proton Platinum:

Game Deck Status Proton Price Devil May Cry 5 Verified Unrated $7.49 (75% off) Ghost Trick Verified Unrated $9.89 (67% off) Wall World Verified Unrated $1.04 (85% off) DmC: Devil May Cry Verified Unrated $7.49 (75% off)

The takeaway: Proton Platinum + Deck Playable is usually a safe buy — the Playable caveat tends to be minor. But a game with no ProtonDB data can still be Deck Verified if Valve tested it directly.

Source: DeckAlly (https://deckally.com/browse) — shows both ratings side-by-side with current deals. Open to questions about the data.

Previously used popOS on a lap with no gpu and got a good ebough gaming performance but that lap broke and while it lasted popOS gave me a good run, i cant go back to windows cuz i hate it(its caveman OS to me) and i got used to popOS cuz of using it for 1 and half year.... heard they even have nvidia popOS ISO but im concerned..

Im gonna get a gaming laptop soon with RTX 4050 and core 5 210H

Will the hardware mux switch work fine will games on steam use the dpu by default automatically or should i do stuff to force it in hybrid mode??

Does switching modes igpu/hybrid/dgpu take restarts between everything??

How is the graphics driver situation for nvidia cards on linux right now? How to upgrade graphics drivers just sudo apt upgrade?? Or something else??

Would rbg work or do i need apps for it? Asusctl works with this laptop??

Since its a new laptop im lowkenuinely scared for switching to linux i hope nvidia gpu updates dont break stuff

Its a tuf F16 1920x1200 core 5 210H RTX4050 6GB VRAM 16GB DDR5 5200Mhz

How it looks /how its supoused to look. No special launch options, force use of GE-Proton10-34 as only custom that was the only one that launched the game. All other levels previous to this one work perfectly the problem is with this kind of lighting in the .

-Ryzen 5 2600

-rx 5700 xt (all drivers installed and updated)

-32gb ram ddr4

-Omarchy 3.5.0 Linux 6.19.10-arch1-1

Loaded up Linux mint cinnamon after Windows pissed me off about a month ago.

Opening up Squad with Proton GE but all the servers are in Chinese and the ping quite literally says —- for all the servers. My location in Steam is in the United States and there is no filter in the squad settings. that will allow me to change my location.

How do I fix this?

Also, how do I get surround sound back with my JBL quantum 610’s?

Like yea, with proton I get that compatibility issues have largely been resolved at least for amd. And I'll get amd if that's what it takes. But what about the performance diff between windows and Linux

does Game File Transfer over Local Network typically work on Linux? I have no internet, so I tried to go somewhere with my laptop, download a game, and come back to transfer it to the desktop. I can't seem to figure it out, and have tried directly linking them with ethereal, as well as over a mobile hotspot. I do have the Game Transfer option enabled on both PCs

Hey there,
I'm new to the whole Linux Gaming to be fair.
So I just wanted to install "Mongil: Star Dive". When doing that over Heroic it prompted me with the error that I need the Epic Games Launcher installed to run the Game. After I couldn't find a solution for this I tried it via Lutris. It didn't even start the Netmarble launcher to begin with and after using the manual install over Lutris I was prompted with this error:

https://preview.redd.it/xjafst13jfvg1.png?width=553&format=png&auto=webp&s=335f2afcb70d82126f89b29db05084520d6b56dd

I am honestly clueless at this point as I cant seem to find a fix. Have any of you encountered similar issues either with Heroic or Lutris?

Thank you in advance!

Game i’m having problem with is overwatch launch directly via Steam with proton hotfix. It eat up 14-17gb of memory when i’m playing. Sometime even cause crash, i tried to switch to proton 9.x or ge-proton and the issue persists. Setting graphic quality to medium or low and capping fps at 100, or adding command to steam launch option also doesnt fix. On window its only like 4gb max and my other linux friend also doesnt reach the usage as high as me. I’m out of idea on how to fix it, saw some posts saying its the game issue and not linux. Need confirmation, thanking in advance

I want to share two of my "projects", especially for those who have MCHOSE gaming peripherals.

I play a lot of FPS games like The Finals, so manually changing the mouse profile every time is annoying. I often forget about it and then realize it in-game, not to mention that when I forget to have my gaming profile turned on, the battery drains really quickly.

MCHOSEWaybarBattery : Displays battery percentage and mouse name and displays it on Waybar.

MCHOSEProfileSelector : Allows you to activate a mouse gaming profile when you launch a Steam game and sets it to a conservative profile when you close it.

They are certainly not the best solutions in the world, but they do the dirty work they need to.

I hope they can be useful to you!

Thank you for your attention and I wish you a good game 😊

I want to play Sea of Thieves, and I usually do so with random players from the Discord. On Windows, I needed to use Xbox Game Bar to invite players without adding them as friends or to accept any invites. On Linux, I need to add them as a friend to invite them, and cannot accept invites at all.

Is there a way around this?

Fedora 43, Wayland, running the game though Steam.
