Hello penguin people

I switched to Linux recently after being fed up with Windows, is there anything I should know as a primarily singleplayer/indie gamer? Using Bazzite right now. Thanks people

I was playing a Minecraft modpack on CachyOS through the Prism launcher, and after leaving for a little bit, the PC was in sleep/ hibernate. Upon opening up the game again, this very strange x-ray like artifacts or glitches are all over the screen. Went back to normal after closing and reopening the game. Anyone know why this is? A lot of issues occur with hibernation, such as my wifi being completely gone sometimes (wifi card not turning back on?) And is only fixed by unplugging the power to laptop and doing a restart.

Hey everybody, I just swapped my main OS to ubuntu because I got tired of windows. I did run into a little problem though, with steam games not launching. I've had all the games saved already on windows and I just took those files and added them to steam which caused steam to recognize the games I had installed. Steam ran a few updates and the play button appeared in all green. I tried running detroit become human and even after skipping vulkan shader loading, the game ran (better than on windows might I add). Since then I turned it off and fixed a few mounting issues with my disks (which required a few system reboots).

Enough of the backstory:
I tried running For Honor, and the game wouldn't run. I assumed it was just an issue of ubisoft somehow not being installed (Which it very well might be, and I still think it's the reason behind the game not launching). Basically after hitting "play" steam seems to have tried launching it and then it's as if the game just crashed. Nothing happened on my screen though (besides the steam loading). After a while I gave up on For Honor and tried running Detroit again. Same thing as for honor. I hit "play", steam seems to attempt launching it and then the "play" button just lights up again.

System info:
I am running on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile, 16GB ram, i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz. Also all of this is inside of an MSI gaming laptop (if that helps somehow)

All help is much appreciated, and I thank you in advance for replies.

Hello!
I've recently been trying to get ZZZ set up on my computer for the first time - I'm running Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon, and used the HoYoPlay installer for it through Lutris (my launcher of choice)

Now, the HoYoPlay launcher itself launches fine, and I've managed to download and verify the game through it - the only problem is that upon launching the game, I get a black screen, with some form of error popup, and then a crash to launcher shortly after.

What is seen upon launching the game.

Here is a pastebin link to the log produced by the crash in question.

Any ideas on how I may be able to fix this? If there's any other context or log info I should provide, do let me know. Thank you!

I'm using Fedora. I've looked online and tried various solutions but couldn't find a solution. I'm running the games with PortProton. Maybe the solution can be found here.

Previously, I've been able to run vanilla TW:A on the native version with no issues, but trying to add the Dawnless Days mod to the game seems like a difficult task that I've been trying to figure out for days now.

First, I tried using the native version, loading the .pack files directly to the game's data folder (on the Steam version) and adding the appropriate mod commands to the preferences.script.txt file (as shown below)

https://preview.redd.it/7ibwq9hdjebg1.png?width=307&format=png&auto=webp&s=a305f2be2128908e5fd583c1f80a4ca749b88c18

That way, the game has loaded, but after a couple of seconds in the main menu the game crashed, seemingly not logging the crash at all (I've tried running steam through console and checking for errors there & tried PROTON_LOG=1 where I also couldn't find any generated log files). For debugging, I also tried reversing the order of mods in preferences.script file, making no difference.

Then, I decided to use Proton instead. With any proton version above 6.3-8, the TW launcher didn't load, throwing errors. The game itself has loaded, but the mods haven't loaded at all. On the internet I found out this specifically might be a compatibility issue which should be solved by changing the proton to 6.3-8, which it did.

After using the 6.3-8 version, I was able to get into the game, but now the problem is that the game crashes mostly when opening or closing the Diplomacy tab (so basically when shifting between the different map modes). This, again, seems to not generate any errors in the logs (as shown below, the last logs documented before the crash in the tdd.log.txt are opening the tactical map mode).

Using WineD3D (via PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 in the steam command) seemed to fix the issue, but the game suffers huge performance issues with WD3D. I'm running out of other ideas on how to fix the game, so I'd be really grateful for any help on this topic.

System info:

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 260

- GPU: AMD Radeon 780M (integrated, not used for the game)
Nvidia Geforce RTX 5070 (with nvidia 580 open driver, also tried with nvidia 570 open)

- RAM: 32GB

- Disks: 2 (1 for system, 1 for data including steam games, both in the same format)

- OS: Kubuntu 24.04 LTS with 6.14.0-37-generic kernel

- Display server: Wayland

I currently want to play through Resident Evil Village and it runs smooth, but sometimes it just freezes, especially before cutscenes and for some reason theres still sound. I tried using GE-Proton10-27 instead of Proton Experimental but it didn’t fix it. Then i tried using this Command under Startoption PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 PROTON_NVDEC=0 %command%, but this also didn’t fix it. Then i tried using Gamescope with and without the Proton Commands that i tried, but this also didn’t solve the problem. I currently stuck at the part, where you look around for Rose in Dimitrescu‘s Castle and fight one of the daughters or girls of Dimitrescu. I got past other times it froze by playing a bit on my Steam Deck until it autosaved. I use Bazzite 43 and have a Ryzen 5 5600 and a RTX 5060 TI. Any help would be appreciated!

I installed Oni using the setup.exe from the .iso I extracted it from. Then I installed the Anniversary Edition patch also using Lutris.

When I launch the game, the intro movie plays. Then after the intro menu my system freezes and I’m forced to restart.

Anyone know how to get this working?

Every so often, my main display begins flickering rapidly changing colors. The issue can be resolved by changing refresh rate, resolution, or toggling HDR. It often happens after display wakes from sleep. It does not happen during sustained use. I know it is a software related issue because it does not happen on Windows or any other application on my display. Can anyone give me a suggestion on how to fix this?

Display: LG C4 w/ CableMatters DP to 8K HDMI (tried multiple different firmwares for the adapter). Running at 4k 120hz VRR & HDR enabled
GPU: RX7900XT

Distro: Nobara 43 w/ KDE

Good afternoon everyone!

I’m very tempted to fully migrate to Linux and leave Windows behind, but there’s still one very specific use case that I haven’t been able to replicate on Linux yet.

On Windows, I currently use a program called Duo, which basically allows me to split my PC into two (or more) instances. This lets friends or my girlfriend connect from other PCs/phones/tablets/TVs via Moonlight, effectively sharing my PC’s hardware to create a kind of LAN party setup.

The most common scenario is: I start Duo, my girlfriend connects through Moonlight on her laptop, and we both play our own games at the same time on the same machine. Her laptop isn’t powerful enough to run even The Sims properly, so this setup works great for us.

Does anyone know of a similar solution for Linux?

I’ve looked into this in the past but couldn’t find anything that really matches this use case. I’m aware that:

• You can run multiple games at the same time on a single machine.
• With multiple GPUs, it might be possible to dedicate one GPU per user

However, I only have one GPU, so I’d need something similar to Duo that can dynamically share a single GPU across multiple user sessions or instances.

Any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

There are so many great Linux softwares (like the amazing Heroic Launcher!) that are distributed exclusively by putting .deb and/or .rpm files into Github Releases, which means I have to "Watch" for new releases and manually download/install. I made this for myself to make it easy to add these projects to my package manager. Thoughts and feedback welcome!

Sober opens fine, but whenever I join a game it freezes up and GNOME says the application is not responding and asks if I want to terminate it. How to fix?

I'm experiencing a refresh rate issue with Arc Raiders on Linux. The game is getting 130 FPS according to MangoHUD, but it feels extremely laggy as if it's locked to 60Hz instead of utilizing my monitor's 240Hz refresh rate. The 240Hz works perfectly fine on the desktop, in browsers, and other applications.

System Information:

Kernel: 6.18.3-2-cachyos

Desktop: KDE Plasma

Laptop: Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 (2024)

14-core (6-mt/8-st) model: 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13650HX bits: 64

NVIDIA AD107M [GeForce RTX 4060 Max-Q / Mobile]

driver: nvidia v: 590.48.01 arch: Lovelace pcie: speed: 2.5 GT/s lanes: 8

ports: active: DP-3

OpenGL renderer string: Mesa Intel(R) Graphics (RPL-S)

Session type: wayland

Game Information:

Launch Options: prime-run game-performance mangohud %command%

Borderless Fullscreen

VSync OFF

Nvidia DLSS CNN (have tried others such as TAA though)

What I have tried:

Switched to X11 session - Game became stuck on loading screen and wouldn't launch

Verified desktop refresh rate - 240Hz works correctly outside the game

I can provide logs if needed - what's the best way to capture relevant output for this type of issue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi friends, I'm having a bear of a time getting HDR working correctly on my current stack. I'm hoping somebody can help point me in the right direction.

Display: LG OLED B5 55" , 2.1 HDMI GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Drivers: nvidia-open-dkms 590.48.01-1 OS: Arch, running 6.18.3-arch1-1 DE: KDE Plasma with HDR turned on in Display Settings

So here's the issue I'm having: when I enable HDR in certain titles (Cyberpunk 2077, Armored Core 6), the colors are completely washed out. I've played with all sorts of settings on the TV/Display and I can't find any combination that actually works. This is true with both scRGB and PQ on CP77; they both look awful (though in different ways). It's not a simple calibration issue as far as I can tell.

I've scoured various forums and YouTube looking to see if anybody with a similar stack had similar issues and have came up empty handed. If there's any more information I can supply or if pictures are needed to help diagnose, please let me know and I can supply. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

(Another oddity: when I use Steam command line flag PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1, my Gamepad input no longer works. Anybody else experience this?)
