Apologies if I don't sound too knowledgeable on terminology, I'm fairly new to Linux.

Hey! I was playing Hundred Line Last Defence Academy at the start of the month and about 11 hours in the game started crashing. I spent some time trying to fix the problem and did the following:

- Changed GPU Driver

- Updated everything I could in Update Manager

- Changed Proton versions: 4.0, 9.0, Experimental.

- Reinstalled the game and moved its location (I have two save places for Steam)

I was also running btop++ on top for a bit (which allowed me to change tab and force exit the game) but nothing out of the ordinary happened. I also ran proton logs but similarly nothing (according to my friend who does know Linux better than me, who was equally confused).

Through these steps I managed to solve the original crashing issue of it stopping, playing audio only and being unable to tab out of the game or open a terminal. It now dropped to a softer crash where I could close the game.

That is to say, the game would completely stop, but I could now tab out and force closure.

At which point I realised this was also affecting other games: for instance, Project Diva: Hatsune Miku and P5X.

Since the crash frequency dropped I stopped working on it for a bit, but I've noticed some oddities since:

- Sometimes the games lag in a "stutter" every now and again.

-- From looking at btop++ the stuttering is paired with GPU usage dipping to ~25%

- If I turn on my headphones or connect to bluetooth whilst playing a game it immediately crashes.

- Trying to screenshare a game on discord instantly crashes it.

- For some reason it happens less if I have btop++ pinned on top of the game

At this point I reinstalled discord and turned off hardware acceleration and it didn't amend the problem. Instead, there was a few minute delay before crashing rather than an instant crash.

My system info is below, if more is required please ask, I've been thumping my head against a table trying to fix this:

Greetings on thank you for any help in advance. I have a 250 that powers on but displays no video. I have another version that works fine and this one seems a little different. For example this version seems a little newer and has display port out rather than HDMI. I'll upload the picture and maybe you can shed some light on the version if you feel it matters.

I'm powering itwith a new 500 watt power supply. I know the PSU is not the issue because it powers my other B250. This B250 Also has display port out, so I connected it to the appropriate monitor.

I know typically folks will try to get into the BIOS. What key do I have to mash to do that? I also heard people reflash their bios. Can this be done through a USB or do you need a CH341A? I have access to both 341s. The older version with auto switching voltage and the newer version with voltage saying toggle switch.

Typically I like to start troubleshooting down the path of least resistance and move on down the line. I wanted to ask the communities advice before doing much more than connecting and powering on the card.

Hopefully the picture may give you some insight or ideas about what I should try first. Also, if you have run into the same issue and figured out a solution please do let me know.

Thanks in advance and I do appreciate you taking the time to respond.

I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i. I am on Kubuntu 26.04 snapshot 2 (I know its a development build, I had the problem on 25.04 and 25.10). Game lags a lot when there are many animations/object on screen. Especially in the menus framerate goes down to as low as 2fps. During gameplay its mostly fine except when KO animations play my fps goes down to 2. Steam overlay says GPU usage is %0.

I have a 7900x and a 7900xtx but the game just crashes for me. I'm wondering if it's a me thing or just a game issue in general.

Hello,

In responding to threads - Hello, I need some help with overclocking my GPU. - LACT Nvidia OC Clarifications

I decided to create a new linux guide about overclocking HERE.

You are welcome to contribute by asking a question HERE. The wiki will be updated accordingly, then cited in your question.

You may start with beginner-friendly guides, and then progressively learn foundations by navigating the Citations. See them in Asking a Good Question.

All feedbacks are welcomed.

So I've been trying to play a bit of TF2 after a long hiatus. Native port, awesome! I run it and figure oh, my settings have reset, so I turn on in-game vsync but notice that my computer is still blowing my ears out.

Turns out in the native Vulkan port, vsync doesn't work (for me) and it's spitting out 500+ frames with a nice dash of tearing to go with it. I tried the OpenGL version and vsync actually works there, but it runs horribly with constant frame drops and spikes.

I'm on the latest Arch kernel, latest packages etc. and I'm using Wayland (I think TF2 uses Xwayland which I've heard can give similar sorts of issues?).

Doubtful it has any bearing on the issue, but my specs are:

9070 (non-XT)

Ryzen 7 7700

32GB RAM DDR5

SSD

I'm trying to play Rust on Fedora Workstation 43, but I get this error. Gemini said that you need to install Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime. After installing it, nothing changed. What to do? (I translated the screenshot in translator for english people, my game in russian)

I just watched a video talking about how Microsoft will just had over your bitlocker codes to government enter if they ask for it which is wild. This makes moving to Linux for all things besides gaming even more enticing. Almost necessary for security.

Will NVIDIA gaming on Linux really ever get there? Will it ever really be plug and play like AMD seems to be? I’d like to move but I still don’t think NVIDIA is 100% supported yet.

Anyone else have any experience with NVIDIA gaming in the current state? Is it a PITA or can we all just jump ship and still play our games with the security and reliability we deserve?

Pre-Edit: I promise this gaming related. That’s all I do on my PC and I have no reason to care about bitlocker security BUT that still feels like slight of had form a major corporation that’s supposed to keep us “safe”.

For me personally I play RedM which is a roleplay thing, doesn't work on Linux. Also shamefully I'll admit that I play Rust, the EAC doesn't work on Linux.

I feel like the biggest barrier is just game dev's not making anti-cheat work on LInux. Do you think that or any other issues will be fixed so we can just ditch Windows.

Hello there, I have rx 570 8GB and core i7 3770 and running cachyos. I have switched from windows to cachyos. Since my gpu isn't that powerful to play modern games at stable 40-50fps at (medium/high) settings so I was looking for any half rate vsync where my in game fps would cap into 30 fps and on my 60hz monitor I would get no screen tearing.

For dx11 or lower, games I can use the dxgi.syncInterval=2 which works great but can't find anything for dx12 games.

Any help would be appreciated regarding this topic! :)

Steam is behaving very strange. After a cold boot, and log in on Mint v22.3 Cinnamon, I start Steam. It takes an unusually long time to load (I'm on a NVMe SSD). Almost immediately once the Steam window is displayed it queued up some component downloads and updates to games. The Steam window flickered 3 or 4 times and then 3x games showed a Steam Cloud error, but I hadn't attempted to launch anything at that point. I disabled Steam Cloud saves, and started the update to DoTA 2. After the update I launched DOTA 2. It starts redoing the shaders, which would have been done months ago. After the shaders finish, the game starts the intro. video, but: * the mouse is super tiny * no mouse or keyboard clicks ends the intro video * once the video ends, the game window only partially loads * wait 2 mins. and nothing changes so I attempt to quit the game * 6 mins later the game seems frozen * at the 9 min mark the game window exits but the Steam launcher shows that the game is still running * I had to click the blue stop button to stop the game * DOTA 2 immediate starts another update

The game starts normally after the 2nd update. DOTA 2 is installed as Linux native.

Shadow of Mordor also get a sudden update. It now launches in a small window and has the super tiny mouse cursor. The game is set to run full screen. However, I have to switch to borderless window in-game and then maximize the window. This is also installed as a Linux native game. This behavior is quite strange.

Deus Ex Mankind Divided showed a Steam Cloud error. I disabled Steam cloud saves and start the queued update for the game. After the update completes, I attempt to launch the game. The play button goes from green > blue > green and never launches. The game install is now broken.
