Hi everyone, I recently switched to CachyOS and downloaded CS2, but the game keeps freezing on the Valve logo. I've tried changing the compatibility mode and verifying the game files, but nothing works.

For reference, I have an RTX 2060 GPU and an i3-10100F CPU.

I switched to Linux Mint (Cinnamon) from Windows 10 and my backup files and steam cloud saves have been wiped.

I;m not sure what happened with the cloud saves. My conclusion is that it just wasn't ever synced while on windows, because my steam cloud only had saves available from after I switched to Linux and testing.

I made sure the back up file was put onto the secondary drive that wasn't getting Linux installed on it. After I installed Linux and got BG3 running, the folder that held the backup file was empty. I made sure their weren't any hidden files, restarted my PC, ect.

Is there any way I could somehow recover the save file?

Hello everyone! I am quite new to Linux, and am dual-booting (separate SSD partitions) from Windows the latest Ubuntu (unfortunately some programs I need aren't supported so I've yet to move completely). I've been installing my Steam games and running them through the latest Proton, but despite them getting platinum rating on ProtonDB and not having any issues in the reviews, I've been having input issues with multiple games.

When I hold a key input (such as W) for some length of time, when releasing it stays held down for longer, and the extra time seems to increase the longer I initially held the input. This makes playing some games very difficult, as in FPS games (i.e. Ravenfield) I can't stop walking forwards or anything. It's also been an issue in other 3d games like KSP, however I haven't noticed it in Celeste, so it may be an issue with 3d stuff or Unity. I tried to find online solutions, but it all seems to either be multiple years old and supposedly fixed or are too confusing for me too understand (this one, also supposedly fixed I think), so I decided to come here to ask for help. Running latest Ubuntu, Steam, and various Proton versions (notably 10.3, but tried others and still got the issue), with the games tested and affected so far being KSP and Ravenfield. If any more info is required I'll try to help as best I can.

I recently set up a multiseat gaming system using loginctr, more-or-less following this post.

My main graphics card is a Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9070. The secondary graphics card will be installed in a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot, so I clearly won't get high-end performance, but it should be at least decent. For testing I'm currently using a very old Radeon R9 280, and it works great for simple games, but I want to replace it with something slightly more modern.

I'm currently struggling with the question which card to buy. It has to be an AMD card, since having multiple cards running different drivers is just asking for trouble. It also shouldn't draw too much power / generate too much heat.

I have looked at the following options:

1. RX 6400 - the extreme budget option. Very energy efficient - with a TDP of only 53W it doesn't even need external power. But only 4G of VRAM with a PassMark G3D score of 7729. Perhaps too basic. I'm also not sure whether the PCIe 4.0 x4 slot can deliver enough power for the card.
2. RX 6600 - one step up from the RX 6400, and a quite passable G3D score of 15088, with 8G of VRAM and a TDP of 132W.
3. RX 9060 XT 8G - the modern option. A G3D score of 19899, with a TDP of 150W.
4. RX 9060 XT 16G - since the limited number of PCIe lanes matters most when VRAM is exceeded, perhaps it's worth going all-out with a 16G card? It has a G3D score of 20019 and a TDP of 160W. But perhaps this would be overkill for a card that's running in a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot?

Is FSR 4 a reason to to go for the 9060?

Another thought here is that the RX 6400 and RX 6600 have a PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, respectively, so perhaps they would suffer less from being constricted to a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot? Or am I thinking in the wrong direction here?

Currently we're mainly playing Baldur's Gate 3, but who knows what we'll be playing in the future :-)

I'd be happy to hear any suggestions / opinions / etc. that might help me decide. Thanks in advance!

-----------------------------------------

Here is my current setup:

MSI Pro B850-p Wifi + Ryzen R5 7600x3d + Patriot Viper Venom 2x16GB DDR5-6000 CL30 + Sapphire Pulse RX 9070 + be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 850W, all in a Fractal Torrent Compact case.

Okay, so, there's a game I've been waiting for for a while that just came out a few days ago. It's called FEROCIOUS. (It's an FPS game with dinosaurs). I'll get to the point quickly: The game does NOT run well. In certain areas, it's under 30FPS on the lowest possible settings and resolution.

I felt that wasn't right, so I booted into Windows and tried running the game there. And the game runs absolutely fine on Windows. I'd even say it runs decently well on Windows, from what I tested.

I've seen some performance degradation when running Windows games on Linux occasionally, but I can't remember the last time it was this bad. So I figured I'd ask here if someone perhaps knew of a way to fix the issue, or if it's something the developer has to fix. (I know I could just play it on Windows, but I'd rather not unless I truly have to, especially if it's a simple fix that I'm just unaware of)

The game uses the Unity engine (I am not sure of the exact version of Unity it uses) and my specs are as follows:

GPU: RX6600

CPU: i7-11700 4.9GHz

RAM: 16GB

OS: Debian 13 KDE

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

Hello, I've been trying to log in on heroic (and lutris) on epic and I didn't manage to get it to work. I've researched on forums and github reports and not found anything that worked.

When in heroic I tried to log in the recommended way to epic, it showed a logging screen and after logging in, it gives this error:

An error has occurred! Try to Logout and Login on your Epic account.

I then looked on the log in url, and saw that it was the normal epic games log in + ?responseType=code, when I opened that url on firefox, it gave me a epic games error that returns Parameter "client_id" is required.

So I tried the alternative login that is just opening this url "https://legendary.gl/epiclogin" and a json opens where a session code is and you then enter it in the heroic launcher window. This url doesn't charge for me, it just keeps loading to infinity, so I then come here to get help.

I've tried the same things installing heroic through flatpak, yay and building it myself with the git repo and I have the same problems. Some people on a github repo said that opening a side window that is called manage accounts or something simillar, fixes this issue, but in the newest version and other versions that I tried, it doesn't seem to appear.

Has anyone had this problem? How did you fix it?

Hello, I'm Vanguardia Studio and I've seen several things during my time in Linux. One of them is gaming, and well, I can play 90% of games, but with limitations on some, so I looked at several forums.They reported that they could play The Crew MotorFest but with many bugs Some with low fps, bugs, and textures that don't load. So I started investigating and found a way to make the game work without problems on Linux, at least in my case. The game's frame rate is more stable than when I played it on Windows, and the textures are fine with no bugs or anything weird.I'll be testing it live on my Kick channel if you'd like to stop by.

I'm new to Fedora and GNOME (Finishing up customizing on my new laptop with a 1800px x 2880px 120hz display). In the video maximized bordered mode works, but when i try to turn on fullscreen it is way bigger than my screen. I tested this on both the unofficial flatpak wrapper and prism launcher (I couldnt get the official launcher to open). I also tried modifying some of the socket settings like with x11 and wayland in flatseal, but that didnt fix it either. Any idea how to fix it? Thanks!

I attached a second monitor to my Wayland (dwl) system. Trying to run games on both screens, but Xwayland seems unable to stretch to a second screen when I go full screen (CTRL+e). Anybody know how to achieve multi-monitor fullscreen steam windows on on steam using Xwayland?

Overal, very happy with how well CachyOS runs on this.

Had to do a bit of tweaking to get it running a bit more optimally but that was just a matter of providing a few kernel arguments. I also capped the 10900k CPU to 4.6ghz in BIOS and configured Intel-undervolt with a 120mv undervolt and 160w power limit, stock CPU power limit is 250w. This laptop runs a lot quieter now than it does on Windows but one of the main reasons for that I believe is the crappy Alienware Command Center software overriding the default fan curves with horrible ones. Out of the box on Linux the fan curve is a lot smoother and a lot quieter unless under a heavy load of course and I also noticed out of the box when I set the power profile in KDE it automatically adjust the fan curve which is sick.

A few extra changes I made was I got rid of octopi and setup pamac which I much prefer and I also removed Plymouth and unnecessary hooks from the initramfs which knocked a good few seconds off the boot time.

I’m also quite impressed by the performance, it is incredibly snappy, but the one thing I was quite sceptical about was GPU and gaming performance because Nvidia drivers yuck, however it seems the drivers have improved lately. When I first tested after installing though it was awful however adding the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 kernel argument made a huge difference and now I don’t seem to be noticing any loss in performance compared to Windows. Games I’ve tested so far: Final Fantasy VII Remake, Clair Obscur and Crysis 2 Remastered.

There is only two things on this laptop that do not work with Linux, the Tobii eye tracking but that’s ass anyway and the Alienware RGB, the RGB controller is recognised and it’s USB based and I can see it and open RGB but there is obviously no profile for it so it just recognises it as a Dell G series controller so it just as weird stuff when I try to change anything. I do still have a small Windows partition for some VR games and also to control the RGB. As the RGB controller is USB base, it can also be controlled from a virtual machine very easily.

I’m running WoW from battle.net under Proton-GE from Steam (Steam -> battle.net -> proton-ge WoW) - works perfectly!

.. until I went into the in-game store (never done before) and went to look at WoW token.. just opens up a black screen woth an <X> to close. Presumably its trying an in-game browser to do purchase things?

Anyone have an idea how to get that to work?

Thanks!

I am new to linux and it's inner workingd. I have installed bazzite, nobara, and pop os and I tried them and I'm honestly confused about all three Operating systems. I currently have bazzite installed and I it just not plug and play experience with my games on my ssd. The Proton layers just do not working most of the time. I can't find any videos about how to fix the ssd for steam library store.
