I recently switched to Linux, and gaming has been great overall until today.

Cyberpunk 2077 is completely unplayable.

On Windows, I played at 3440×1440 using the Ray Tracing Psycho preset with FSR + Frame Generation, getting around 120 FPS. On Linux, performance has fallen off a cliff:

• RT Psycho (FSR + Frame Gen): ~2–3 FPS
• RT Medium (no FSR / no Frame Gen): ~20 FPS
• Low settings: ~70 FPS

I’ve tried reinstalling the game in case it was a bad install, but that didn’t help. I also tried different versions of proton. At this point I’m pretty lost.

System Specs:

• OS: Zorin OS 18
• CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• GPU: XFX Mercury 9070 XT
• RAM: 32 GB Aorus DDR5 6000 CL36
• Motherboard: B650M Aorus Elite AX
• PSU: Corsair SF1000L

Hi all,

Today I tried installing some games in my Arch PC, Im still new to arch, I reciently migrated but there is a lot of information in the internet and many already had stumble with the issues that I had so no problem there and learning in the process :).

Today I wanted to take a step forwards and try gaming, I used Lutris and tried playing Skyrim.

Game open and FPS werent that bad, however graphics looks like this, all textures fail and objects look kind of transparent. NPCs and player were ok.

What could be the issue here?

I would expect to have a problem with wine, dxvk or vulkan (both three gave me problems while installing), but I cant tell. I find it kinda hard to search for this specific problem as english is not my first language and Im not a tech guy to explain what is happening in the picture.

Thanks yall in advance for the support :)

Hi I'm pretty new to Linux (kinda). And recently i switched to Ubuntu on my main pc. Now I use a GT 730 2Gb GDDR5 version and with the nvidia 470 drivers, i am locked to 1024x763 4:3. So i decided to purge the nivida drivers and stick to nouveau. But now whenever I'm opening half life 2 (which ran perfectly on windows) or Automation: the car company tycoon, it just won't run. Now is there something I can do here or should I switch distros?

I recently switched over to EndevourOS, and went to install Source games (portal, hl2, ect.) The games open, menus work, but the moment I try to start a new game, the game closes. Is there any fix to this? I wanna play my portal lmao

I have an RTX 3050 Ti laptop and Steam doesn't use my graphics card for games, instead using the integrated graphics on my laptop. When I launch a game, both Btop++ and Plasma System Monitor show that my integrated GPU usage spikes to max while my GPU usage stays the same when running a game. Oddly, nvidia-smi shows that the exe process is running on my gpu. I am using Hyprland on Arch Linux, and that is running perfectly fine on my GPU. I will also note that this problem doesn't appear when I try to play games in my Epic Games library through the Heroic Games Launcher.

im gonna start this out by saying this is literally my first day dailying linux. ive freshly installed fedora on my asus um3402ya (with the ryzen 7730u) and wanted to poke around with some games and ive found performance to be... laughable

im using performance mode, i tried making sure all my drivers are good and i believe they are, and yet rocket league is right around 30 fps, beamng and cyberpunk are unplayable and i didnt expect incredible performance for either titles but i didnt imagine even on the lowest settings to be running at like 15 fps.

im by no means knowledgeable of linux, neither am i incredibly tech savvy, but i hope i can get some help or answers. i mean, maybe im just overestimating how powerful my computer is and i realize i should probably compare performance on windows but rn i just cant be bothered

I'm looking for people to create a united community and join forces to educate and attract more people to Linux, to help people overcome their fear of Linux, and to pressure companies that refuse to support it and end Microsoft's monopoly. We need to make some noise to be heard, and I won't stop until we achieve that. If you want to join, you'll find the link in my profile. Every little bit helps in a revolution in this sector.

We could not restore your progress on locked achievements. All previously unlocked achievements, rewards and saved game progress are unaffected by this. If you proceed now, your progress on locked achievements will be reset.

The game... seems to work fine otherwise.

I’ve seen a few people mention 4K120hz with 4:2:2 instead of 4:2:0, via HDMI, How do you achieve this? Using Fedora Kinoite (KDE) and when I set it to 4K 120hz with 8bit color (which I was under the impression is what is needed for 4:2:2, instead of 10bit) it still does 4:2:0. My tv supports 4:2:2 8bit at 120hz, as the PS5 does it fine.

I'm new to Linux and have recently installed Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.2

I recently installed a game on Steam on my hard drive. When I try to open it from my desktop, it opens Steam, but because my HDD is in sleep mode, Steam thinks the game isn’t installed and can’t find the hard drive. Is there a way to make Steam wake up my hard drive automatically when I open a game installed on it, instead of having to manually wake the drive first and then run the game? Or are there any better solutions?

So ive been trying to use my Earbuds on my laptop with CachyOS installed. The manufacturer claims that they support LC3 Low energy, and my laptop bluetooth card is supposed to support it as well, but when i use them, i swear i can detect the slightest amount of latency. Ive messed around with the bluetooth setting in etc and set the kernel iso to experimental and set bluetooth to le. Am i missing something?

I've always liked Linux, even if I didn't really use it every day (except maybe via my android phone), but I never really gamed with it much. Back when I used it on my desktop in 2008 it ran the few games that actually worked in it noticably worse than windows.. but well proton-valve changes things.. and not in the most obvious way..

While I have an rtx card in my main PC and enjoy it (when it's done well), the idea of games requiring ray tracing to even run is infuriating to me.. I'd been building computers in my spare time to kind of make money on the side and since I had a tower without an os (and a non amd GPU on hand) I decided maybe I should try out this "ray tracing emulation" done only on Linux and only with AMD gpu's, apparently with proton and the mesa drivers..

Let me just say.. it was amazing. The quality was set to low, because after all I figured with it emulating both the windows back-end and the absolute minimum requires amount of rt to play Indiana jones the great circle even if it worked I expected it to be lagging, slow, something.. (also the video of the rx 480 playing it.. while functioning, had noticable issues). Well, apparently the rx Vega 56 oc I had did not have those issues. I could've have turned the settings up but honestly I was just amazed it was running at a locked 60 fps (vsync was on I guess)..

So yeah gaming on a Linux.. totally viable. Not just viable, you can literally do something on there that's impossible to do in windows.. PLAY A GAME THAT REQUIRES RT ON A GPU THAT MOST DEFINITELY DOESN'T SUPPORT RT! AND NOT JUST THAT, IT PLAYS IT AT LEAST 6X BETTER THAN A RX 6400 OR AN ARC A380 (the cheapest ray tracing hardware available)..

Howdy, I was thinking about twitching Tekken 8 on Steamdeck to get the best possible input lag with stable 60 fps. I'm talking about proton stuff, and heavy unreal engine modifications. Anyone got this game working flawless on the system? (Ofc I know that game can looks like poop, but input lag and being stable are the most important parts for me).

I bought a Redragon keyboard and a Kysona mouse. I saw that both have Windows applications, I tried running them via Wine but they didn't work.

If I create a VM with Windows 10 and install both programs, will it work and will the VM recognize the peripherals?
