distro: gentoo (openrc, source kernel)

kernel version is 6.12.58-gentoo

16gb of ddr3 ram

flatpak steam version: 1.0.0.84

specs: intel i7-3520M with iGPU😭

ok anyway... ive tried installing steam from portage but my cpu is lowkey too cheeks to do that (it fails at llvm)

since llvm couldnt compile i tried installing the 20.1.8 binpkg version, but no binpkg (that i could find) supported 32 but like the source packages did, and the mesa library (important dependency for steam) couldnt compile without llvm 32 bit support

so i resorted to installing the flatpak version, which i expected to run out-of-the-box perfectly. (it didnt, hence the reason im making this post)

ive gotten 1 specific error that i cannot fix for the life of me, which is!!:

The unofficial Steam Flatpak app requires a correctly-configured desktop session, which must provide the DISPLAY environment variable to the D-Bus session bus activation environment. On systems that use systemd --user, the DISPLAY environment variable must also be present in the systemd --user activation environment. This is usually achieved by running: dbus-update-activation-environment DISPLAY during desktop environment startup. For more details, please see: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/10554

LITERALLY the first 7 lines of my sway config is this dbus-update and xdg-desktop portal stuffs:

exec dbus-update-activation-environment DISPLAY exec gentoo-pipewire-launcher restart exec /usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr & exec /usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal & exec export DISPLAY=:0 xwayland enable

(graphics drivers are installed btw, and said drivers are intel)

ive also ran sway itself with dbus-run-session, cuz ion use a login manager, and alot of flags to run steam... and those flags were...!:

1. --gl__threaded_optimizations=0
2. flatpak override --user com.valvesoftware.Steam --socket=fallback-x11
3. --env=PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1
4. --steamos3
5. --device=all
6. --env=DISPLAY=:0
7. --env=WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0

and yeah i also have the freedesktop oGL packages installed (version 25.08 iirc)

sorry if the post is kinda buns i dont use reddit often at all

i have no idea how to fix this, someone help buh🙏🙏

I recently ordered an RX 9070 as a replacement for my 7700XT. I found forums and videos from months ago saying that rasterization performance is pretty much up to par and just a tad bit slower than on Windows but that RT performance was pitiful. I couldn't find any recent resources on this so I wanted to inquire and see what people's experiences are using these cards on Linux. Are the Mesa drivers good on RDNA 4, or should I temper my expectations? Any insight is appreciated.

hey!

so a couple months ago i installed linux mint cinnamon 22.2 and i've been loving it. pretty much any steam game i play just works. but unfortunately for some odd reason playing ffxiv with xivlauncher is rough.

for instance, on my windows 10 partition i can play ffxiv via' xivlauncher and i get around 50fps on max settings. whereas on linux mint it drops me to a choppy 25fps. to get anything near playable, i have to play on standard (laptop) settings. but even then i get lag spikes that can make things borderline unplayable at times. any help would be greatly appreciated! and if you need any sort of info i'd be happy to provide it.

my specs:

linux mint cinnamon 22.2

i5 6402P

16gb DDR4

RX 480 (4gb)

T-Force 512gb SSD (sata III) (xivlauncher is installed on here)

WD HDD 2tb

(p.s: i installed xivlauncher through the software manager. dunno if that has anything to do with my issues. just thought i'd mention it though just in case.)

Whats up. I'm new to Linux I'm getting my laptop prepped up for when i go to college. I'm using a old MacBook air from 2016 that's now using linux. I know it's def capable to play these older retro games. I just need help. First off, RE 1996 I'll launch it and it'll just take up a corner of my screen but never go full screen or windowed. Even after messing around with Direct X9. or any settings within heroic. I haven't used any lines or scripts. or third party stuff. (other than proton ge ofc). I also tried Splinter Cell and it actually launched normally till the first cutscene finished and it would crash. Looking to play these games when I have downtime at school. If you guys are experienced please help me out I'm new to Linux and not much of a coding or scripting expert (yet). Haven't been able to find anything online similar to me. Thank you

switched to Linux on all my machines last year as a New Years resolution and i haven't looked back since. after trying a couple of distros i landed on Mint for its noob-friendly outer shell while still being a full distro underneath. but i'm interested in trying something new so i tried out Alpine in a VM, and i like the approach of allowing the user to setup the system according to their wants and needs, plus i love me a lightweight OS. so, I'm interested in potentially replacing Mint with Alpine on my main gaming rig. has anyone here used Alpine for gaming? i'd imagine that it should all work totally fine with some fresh drivers and light tweaking, just curious to hear other users experiences!

Hello, I have noticed in NVIDIA X Server Settings (which I assume is the Linux version of NVCP) there is no option to "Manage 3D Settings" or manage G-Sync like there is in Windows. Is there any way to obtain these settings in Linux?

Ok please take a breath before compliants I'm just here for some help.

I abandoned Windows spyware earlier this year kind of recklessly and without a ton of thought. I was familiar with Linux but a completely new user. I play mostly Skyrim, NMS, BG3, and I want to start playing Tainted Grail. I play 8-bit in my free time but when I game game its on those bigger titles. I figure Linux is mostly for single player though playing BG3 with my friend would be ideal.

My problem is something configuration wise. I'm getting conflicting information about Linux not running these games or these games can run fine with the right drivers. Before abandoning Windows everything ran fine. My hardware is a Lenovo Legion Laptop - Processor: Intel i9 14900X x 24 Mem: 31 GB Hard Drives: 4024.8 GB Graphics: NVDIA RTX 4070

What I'm thinking is happening is the other graphics card is being recognized (Intel Raptor Lake-S UHD Graphics)

I have tried NVDIA drivers and tried between Performance Mode and On-Demand but Im not finding any real functionality. In steam under my launch options I am launching the games with 'gamemoderun %command%'

Advice on fixes or should I just go back to Windows spyware?

For context: I have two monitors, a 75hz one by samsung, and a 144hz one built into my laptop. I also use linux mint 22.2 cinnamon

While Geometry Dash's in-game fps counter says its running at 240, but it feels like it definitely isn't 100% of the time (probably closer to like 40-60 fps). On my 75hz monitor, there's AWFUL screen tearing whether or not freesync is on, and on my 144hz monitor it just feels like its running at 50 fps.

What I've tried:

using proton ge

using gamemode

enabling vsync (even if it worked i wouldnt go through with it bc im a cbf carried fraud)

frame extrapolation in megahack v9

draw divide geode mod

disabling secure boot

setting my nvidia graphics card settings to "high performance"

disabling window tile snapping or whatever it is idfk

crying

borderless fullscreen

windowed mode

--unredir-if-possible in launch options (caused steam to just... not open the game)

Clarification: im not running it on two different monitors at the same time, im just saying that i tested the issue with both monitors seperately and that those were the results.

Hi all. I recently started playing Avatar Frontiers of Pandora on Steam and have been wondering if anyone has any idea how to get controller support working. Other Steam/Proton games work fine with controller when I set the launch arguments to PROTON_PREFER_SDL=1 %command%, but no matter what I try I can't seem to get Frontiers of Pandora to take controller input at all.

So far I tried:

• Adding the game exe as a non-steam game
• Connecting the controller via cable and Bluetooth
• Enabling/disabling Steam input translation

But neither of those attempts changed anything.

Note however that Ubisoft Connect does recognize controller input if I open the launcher from the status bar after launching the game, and mapping controller actions to keyboard/mouse buttons through Steam does technically work (although this is not ideal).

I'm wondering if anyone knows what else I could try or if they have solution. I'm using an Xbox Wireless Controller with GE-Proton10-28. I can give more information if needed. Thanks

Hello. I got an RX 9070xt close to launch and have been using with arch since I got it. My setup is the following:

CPU Ryzen 9800X3D GPU 9070XT 32GB Ram 1000W be quiet PSU Driver Mesa 25.3.3-arch OS Arch Linux Kernel 6.18.3 DE Hyprland Game running through Proton 9.10

I've had no complaints until I recently got Doom the Dark Ages and tried to enable path tracing. When I enable it and apply it, my entire system freezes. When I first tried to run it with path tracing my entire DE froze and then crashed. If I restarted my DE and then tried to launch almost any game it would crash again. The solution was to shutdown and restart my PC. I was able to play through the first two levels after the fact without path tracing with decent performance.

After doing some research I saw that some people reported path tracing issues if dynamic resolution was enabled. I turned it off and the same issue persisted. I then saw that some people reported that this was an issue with GPU power draw when enabling path tracing.

To test this I used LACT to drop the power limit from 330W to 231W without changing anything else. Attempting to run The Dark Ages with path tracing resulted in my system freezing, but then it would unfreeze after about 10 seconds. Everything would function fine except for the game window, which is permanently black and non-responsive and I had to kill it via steam. I had a live graph of the power consumption in LACT while I did this and no spikes ever registered. I would like to highlight that LACT did freeze when everything else did, but when the program unfroze no power spike was registered.

After this I ran some other games just to confirm that my GPU still worked. The games would typically freeze on their into stream and my system would crash. However upon shutting down my PC, resetting the LACT power limit, and starting it back up I was able to play other games for an extended period of time just fine.

I was wondering if anyone has experienced an issue similar to this and was able to remedy it. The fact that the crashes were very delayed at some points makes me think this is a software issue, not a hardware issue, but I don't know that for sure. If anyone has had a similar issue I would appreciate a response.

All I know is that the windows version uses DirectStorage and does not have loading problems in Kaifeng and in Linux DirectStorage does not exist and it drops to 1fps or less until all assets are loaded in Kaifeng. Is there any hope for this game to ever run properly in linux or should I just give up? Outside of Kaifeng it's pretty fine for the most part...

using the following commands

WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY=8:0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 DXVK_ASYNC=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%

More of a joke, while playing a game, my game froze, then suddenly both my monitors decided to evolve. Rebooted PC and it's fine. The vertical monitor runs off an HDMI from the motherboard, and the horizontal monitor runs off a DisplayPort cable from the GPU. Wonder what happened. I just recently updated Ubuntu today, as well as installed a new AIO for my CPU.

Hi everyone! 🐧

I've been working on a solution to run multiple independent instances of the same Steam game on Linux. As many of you know, Steam and Proton often struggle with concurrent execution due to single-instance locks and shared prefixes.

I wrote a script using umu-run and gamescope to isolate instances under different users. But the killer feature is the input broadcasting: it syncs perfectly with an Xbox controller, letting one controller drive every window at the same time.

🛠️ How it works

The script automates the tedious parts of manual multiboxing:

1. User Isolation: Runs each game instance under a separate Linux user (e.g., user1, user2).
2. Environment Setup: Automatically handles XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, .steam directories, and xauth (X11) permissions so windows appear on your main display.
3. Proton Management: Uses distinct prefixes for each user to avoid lock-file conflicts.
4. First Run Logic: Detects new users and generates a temporary interactive script to initialize the prefix (install DirectX/VCRedist) once.
5. Fast Launch: Generates a FastRun.sh for subsequent one-click mass launches.

📋 Requirements

• gamescope
• umu-run (Unified Linux Wine Game Launcher)
• sudo privileges (to switch users)
• xauth & xterm

💻 The Script

Here is the full source code. Save it as setup_multibox.sh, make it executable, and run with sudo. (Note: Edit the Configuration section at the top to match your Game Path and AppID).

How to set this up:

1. Download Steam, install the game, select a Proton version, and launch it once (to initialize it).
2. Open the script and replace the paths to the prefix folder (CompatData) and the .exe file with your own.
3. Important: Don't forget to change the account names in the USERS list to your own.

Eu gostaria de saber o porque na seleção do local do arquivo para baixar o jogo precisa ser tão confuso, porque tem tantos volumes de armazenamento e da onde eles saem? eu tenho apenas um HD e um SSD, sendo que neste local de seleção de pasta tem diversos volumes de tamanhos iguais.

Não sei se expliquei direito.. caso tenha ficado em duvida pode perguntar pra mim aqui
eu iniciei no linux ontem aff... ja to usando o reddit :p

I just wanted to preface this by saying that i don't use linux. I only posted on here since it seems people get reliable answers on here regarding Vesktop.

I installed vesktop as screensharing on the OG Discord app would just be horrible at times, despite me having alright internet. But ever since i got Vesktop, streaming things without my friends seeing it stutter or get bad quality is awesome. However. It comes with the issue of my friends hearing themselves on my stream.

how do i fix this?

I'm at wits end. When I install and run Blackguards 1 through Heroic Game Launcher, it executes fine, but when I create a character and jump into the first tutorial battle, the turn based combat instantly finishes my turn so that the easy enemy constantly attacks without me being able to take any action.

It's such a weird bug, since graphically and runtime wise, it seems to run fine. But alright, bugs happen. But then I installed the Steam version and that one works flawlessly.

But here's the kicker: Then I added the Heroic install as a non-steam game to Steam and ran it with the exact same Proton version (GE-10-28), and now it works too. So it can't be the executable, nor the Proton version right? What could Heroic be doing wrong? Any settings I can try? I already tried various settings like "Use Steam Runtime" but nothing has any effect.

Since I manage to run it through Steam, I could just play it that way. But this is such an absurd error; it turned into a weird obsession by now trying to figure out what is going on and how I can fix it.

Anyone got any clues or things I could try?

 

TL;DR: Game installed through HGL and run with GE-Proton10-28 has a weird ingame glitch. But when adding the same executable as a non-steam game to Steam run with the same Proton version, it works
