I'm trying to use gamescope with Battlefront 2 (2017), because normally on Hyprland, if a match starts while the game is not focused, the audio glitches out. I thought gamescope would fix this issue, because with gamescope, the audio of the game doesn't cut out when the game loses focus.

I got gamescope working with other games, but with Battlefront 2, the game never launches. Here are the logs

https://pastebin.com/MsqMatLQ

This is the launch options I'm using in Steam:

gamescope -W 2560 -H 1600 -r 240 -f --force-grab-cursor -- offload %command%

(offload is just a wrapper that makes the game use the Nvidia GPU)

I assume it is supposed to work because Battlefront 2 does work on Steam Deck and Steam Deck uses gamescope, so I'd appreciate any help!

P.S I am using an older version of gamescope (3.16.4) because for some reason, the newer versions just don't work in Hyprland (as mentioned here). I've also had to patch it to use my integrated graphics instead of the Nvidia dGPU to fix the issue mentioned here.

Hello, I have an intel hd graphics 400 video card and a Linux AntiX operating system with 6.15.6.1 liquorix kernel. I wanted to run the game via proton (for the test I run Half Life 2 but I plan other games), on ge proton 9 and 10 does not run, even with the old dxvk and with running through wined3d, on the old original proton 5 with wined3d the game ran but very long, with large freezes and 20 fps, ge proton old did not run stupidly long startup. I have Vulkan 1.2. Mesa has been updated to the latest version. (testing 25.0.7-2). Also tried to bind dxvk dll via protontricks that didn't help either. What can you recommend for fixing the Proton? (Other than replacing the video card).

Hello, I tried lossless scaling on CachyOS and the GameScope downsampling command together, but the game won't start. What am I doing wrong?

I installed Battle.net as a Non-Steam game and it worked, the launcher opened and I could connect and even install a game. But I can't seem to open the launcher anymore, I changed the target to battle.net.exe and battle.net launcher.exe, but neither worked.

I'm using Pop-OS and Proton 10.

Hello, Im having the following problem.
Im trying to use the t16000m Hotas in ArmA3. I've looked everywhere online, i've set all the udev rules. The Hotas is visible natively and it works fine. All axis are detected and everything is correct.

Steam input is disabled. ArmA3 uses DirectInput.

When I try to detect it from inside proton or wine... nothing.
Bear in mind, my PS4 controller gets detected and is visible from within proton/wine.

What am I supposed to do?

So I had this obscure problem with Elgato 4K X not connecting to my 20Gbps USB-C port in 10Gbps mode. Hence, I wasn't able to actually stream/record gameplay from PS5/XBox Series X/Switch and other devices I own in Y/UV 4:2:0 4k/60Hz and had to use MJPEG which adds extra latency and crushes colors a bit.

I’ve solved it as follows:

1 — Force the card into USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gb/s) with Capture Device Utility Host: macOS 14.4 (Sonoma) Tool: Capture Device Utility 1.3.1

1. Plug the 4K X into the Mac.
2. Launch Capture Device Utility → select the card.
3. Hold Option (⌥) / Alt – an extra toggle appears.
4. Enable USB Gen 2.
5. Disconnect the card.

If you skip these steps, the device stays in 5 Gb/s mode even after updating the firmware.

2 — Verify 10 Gb/s on Linux lsusb -t

Expected (note the 10000M lanes):

/: Bus 012.Port 001: Dev 001, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/5p, 20000M/x2 |__ Port 001: Dev 008, If 0, Class=Video, Driver=uvcvideo, 10000M |__ Port 001: Dev 008, If 1, Class=Video, Driver=uvcvideo, 10000M |__ Port 001: Dev 008, If 2, Class=Audio, Driver=snd-usb-audio, 10000M |__ Port 001: Dev 008, If 3, Class=Audio, Driver=snd-usb-audio, 10000M

If you still see 5000M, repeat step 1 — the switch didn’t stick.

That’s it: once the link reports 10 Gb/s, the 4K X has enough bandwidth for Y/UV 4:2:0 4K/60 captures.

If anyone more knowledgeable comes here -- is there anything we can do on Linux side to set this 10Gbps flag instead of having to use Mac? Do I need to research how to send USB ctrl transfer packets? Possible to figure it out on my own?

E.g.

# Some Python script import usb.core, usb.util VID, PID = 0x0fd9, 0x00ef # Elgato 4K X REQ_TYPE = 0x40 # Vendor | Host‑to‑Device BREQUEST = 0x51 # ← figure out from dump WVALUE = 0x0001 # ← «enable Gen2» WINDEX = 0x0000 DATA = None # no payload dev = usb.core.find(idVendor=VID, idProduct=PID) assert dev is not None, "4K X not found" dev.ctrl_transfer(REQ_TYPE, BREQUEST, WVALUE, WINDEX, DATA) print("Mode switch request sent; replug the device.")

Also one more problem I discovered yesterday: when I try to both record video & audio, I hear clicks/pops when using Y/UV 4:2:0 4K/60 mode. It goes away if I switch to MJPEG and/or lower resolution to 1080p. Seems like USB link saturation? usbtop indeed shows 800-950MB/s with 4K60 4:2:0 stream, which is very close to practical limits. I'm also thinking it might be due to my Proxmox/Arch setup or maybe my Ryzen 8500G isn't fast enough (OBS capture only seem to load one core at around 50%)

You can observe these popping artifacts at first 20 seconds of this stream. The only solution I came up with is to use something like HDMI-splitter to extract audio -> send it over my USB Audio interface (Behringer 404HD) -> route into OBS.

Hello everyone! I posted here around 3 months ago about my package manager and Linux distro. I wanted to talk a little bit about it because I have restarted the distro portion of the project. I was very close to finishing the first GUI/DE part of the distro but I completely restarted. Since that post, I've made some significant advancements across the project! For Starpack, I've completely switched to zstd compression, which has proven incredibly efficient for size and speed (thanks for the recommendations BigHeadTonyT and others.) I've also significantly sped up parsing and saving operations by utilizing SQLite, and crucially, I've lowered the dependency count considerably by moving away from libcurl.

Beyond Starpack, the core of SFGOS is evolving rapidly. I've created ~63 custom coreutils based off of BSDCoreUtils to replace the GNU ones, and I'm thrilled to announce that their source code will be going live very soon, most likely when I wake up later. To further enhance performance and reduce bloat, I'm making a strategic switch to musl libc. And on the shell front, I've developed my own custom shell called ReefSH, whose source code will also be released in just a few days! (after ironing out a few more bugs) Despite restarting the distro's development, I have made a lot of advancements to the software and distro itself.

The custom components like Pulse Desktop and the graphical setup assistant are still key parts of the roadmap, and I'm very excited about the progress on the core tooling. I am also switching away from systemd, as it is extremely bloated and huge. I will maybe use openrc or make a custom init system, we will see what the future holds.

I know this might not be really within the typical scope of a Linux gaming discussion, but I wanted to provide an update on the underlying development that will ultimately benefit SFGOS's performance as a gaming-centric distro. Your feedback, questions, and ideas are incredibly valuable as I continue this journey. Please remember that I am one person, that rarely has friends help out with code (except on reefsh and the coreutils), so I can NOT do everything correctly, for example, my code is not perfect at all. But I have stayed up entire nights to ensure I tried my best. If you wish to help out with the code, I would genuinely appreciate it.

Thanks for your continued interest and support. I look forward to sharing more updates as SFGOS gets closer to a public release.

On fedora 42 with KDE plasma. I've got an OLED HDR monitor, but in some games (minecraft pictured, I've also noticed this problem in dune awakening, haven't tested many others) whenever I open/close menus I get this white flash on my screen that's really annoying. Had to record with my phone because it doesn't show up in a screen recorder - tbh it's also more noticeable in person than in the video but you can still see it. This only happens when HDR is enabled in KDE plasma settings, so I can workaround it by turning it off but that's kinda annoying cause some games I play do have nice HDR support (through gamescope) so having to turn it on/off when I play different games is a little annoying.

Monitor: MSI MAG 273QP GPU: Radeon 9070xt CPU: Ryzen 9800x3D

Lmk if there's any other info that would be useful.

I download a new game to play with the boys... they're waiting on vc as I say "Haha fellas it's downloading..." but... it finished downloading... it finished downloading 5 minutes ago actually... As I stall more and more... I look onto my monitor and there's only the pop up. "Processing vulkan shaders: 52%". I wait and wait, each millisecond feels like an hour... "play one without me haha its still downloading" and I just sit there quiet as they have their fun. Maybe I'm a weak man, but when I come across an issue and mention it to my friends, they laugh and say "haha its because you're using linux" and I feign laughter, but deep inside, I'm hurt. I know it's not perfect, but I appreciate what else it has giving me. However, I know that no matter what, I'll always be a bit late. Sorry bros, I have to let my pc process vulkan shaders for 15 minutes.
