Hi there everyone.

I have KH III (Epic unfortunately) and I installed it through Heroic.

Unfortunately I get a black screen. I tried the following steps on Universal Blue and Ubuntu:
- Heroic (Flatpak and .deb) with Proton GE Latest (black screen)
- Steam (with a "quack" version just to double check) (the game doesn't start with Proton Experimental)
- Steam again (Proton version 5.13 since someone said that the game just runs (it doesn't start)
- A strange script to install Windows Media Foundation along with Heroic found here ProtonDB | Game Details for KINGDOM HEARTS III + Re Mind (DLC) (the game crashes immediately, which is even worse)
- Bottles with WMF and DirecX dependencies (I get a "Fatal Error" window and the game crashes immediately)

Any other game is working good on Linux. KH III runs on Windows.

I'm running out of ideas. Anybody managed to run KH III on Linux? 😅

Thanks in advance! Let me know if I should provide more information.

Hi! I've been using LInux for only about 3 weeks and I recently reformatted my SSD to ext4 (from ntfs) to move my games onto. Since then, I've been gleefully moving my games from my disk Storage (HDD), using Steam to do so, over until I hit a snag today. For some reason, ESO is installed on /home/****/Elder Scrolls Online. I didn't worry too much about this and got all of my addons working and played. It's my main game.

I noticed an occasional "hiccup" where my character would be running or riding along and there would be a stutter, sometimes every 4 seconds, sometimes every 6 or so, but it was annoying. That is when I decided it would be best to reformat my SSD (I only have one) and put all my games on it. It worked a treat because before the move I wasn't able to launch Cyberpunk 2077 or Baldur's Gate 3. Now they run just fine.

But, when I try to move ESO, I go to Installed Files, as usual, and there is no option to "Move Install Folder" like all of my other games have. In Installed Files, it shows that the size of installation is 138.18 GB on Local Drive (/). I guess it just defaulted there? Anyhow, the only other game-related folder in that location is Skyrim SE MO2 Instance. I don't know why that is there because I moved Skyrim SE to my SSD just like all the others, via Steam/Installed Files/Move. Fallout 4, Fallout 76, Fallout NV, Starfield (I know, I know), all moved without a hitch, so it's not a Zenimax/Bethesda thing, I guess?

Another weird thing: The location I'm moving my games from (Storage, a HDD), has a Zenimax Online folder which contains folders that were last modified August 2023 (except for Launcher which was June 14 2025. If it wasn't for the Launcher being recently used, I'd think that I could just delete that whole folder?

I've written a novella here and I need to get to the point.

• How can I safely move my ESO installation from my Home folder to my SSD, preferrably using Steam like I have all of the others? (I'm thinking maybe there's some setting I'm not privy to on Steam that will make the Move option show up.)
• And what do I do with that Zenimax Online folder that hasn't done anything really since 2023 (and might just be leftovers from Windows)?

If this wasn't my main game, I wouldn't be so delicate about trying things. It was a bit of an effort to get Minion going and my addons updated and working and I don't want to mess any of that up.

Everytime people ask about playing Android games on Linux, the answer is Waydroid this Waydroid that, but it does not support all games. For example I can play Arknights but not Ex Astris. I can't even install it from Play Store because it says "This app won't work on your device". I already bought Ex Astris but apparently my phone is not strong enough and my laptop was kinda okay when running it on emulators like LD Player or Bluestack on Windows. But I've completely switched to Linux. So, is there really no actual Android emulator that is good for gaming on Linux?

I'm making this post because I wanted to try RDR2 now that I moved to Linux but I own it on the Rockstar Launcher and not Epic or Steam and the launcher doesn't work well using Lutris (issues well documented) and Bottles gives me shader caching issues (lag) with certain games. This might help other people in my shoes. This was done on Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon, Kernel 6.8.0-63, AMD CPU and GPU.

How to:

1) Download the launcher installer from here

2) In Steam, click 'Add a Game' -> 'Add a Non-Steam Game' -> Browse and locate the installer exe in your Downloads folder, then click 'Add Selected Programs' on the Steam dialogue window

3) Find the launcher in your Steam library (will be named after the installer file so probably "Rockstar-Games-Launcher.exe") and go right click -> Properties

4) Under Compatibility, tick in 'Force specific comp tool' and select Proton Experimental (you can also try Proton Hotfix if this doesn't work)

5) Click 'Play' to launch the installer from Steam and go through the process, the default installation path is ideal as you can always choose to download games somewhere else from within the launcher itself

6) Once the installer is finished, the launcher might open by itself, just close it. Right click on the launcher steam entry and go to Properties again

7) Here, you need to change the 'Target' and 'Start In' directories to those of the now installed launcher. Do NOT click on Browse as the appropriate system folders will be hidden in Steam's folder view anyway. Instead, look up the directories in your linux file explorer and copy them here. Steam installs windows programs (and saves) under /home/YOURUSERNAME/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata so you'll need to figure out which folder in here contains the RG launcher. You need to look for a 'Rockstar Games' folder in a Program Files folder (not Program Files x86). To help, I've included what my 'Target' and 'Start In' directories look like:

"/home/YOURUSERNAME/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/2579703173/pfx/drive_c/Program Files/Rockstar Games/Launcher/Launcher.exe"

"/home/YOURUSERNAME/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/2579703173/pfx/drive_c/Program Files/Rockstar Games/Launcher"

Please make sure you include the " marks before and after the directory otherwise the program will not launch.

8) Simply exit the Properties dialogue window and launch the RG launcher from your steam library. This is the point where you might need to select Proton Hotfix instead of experimental if it doesn't launch. Once it launches, log in and everything should work as normal.

TIP #1: RDR2 works flawlessly this way (for me at least), even online multiplayer (as Lamestar haven't specifically banned linux on it like they did with GTA Online)

TIP #2: To use mangohud, just add 'mangohud %command%' as a launch option to the RG launcher in Steam as usual. If it causes any issues within the launcher, you can temporarily turn the overlay off by hitting SHIFT+F12 until you're in an actual game.

TIP #3: If you're trying to add a game already installed on a separate drive, you'll need to create a symlink (shortcut) of that external games folder and put it in your /home/ folder. On Linux Mint and Fedora you just need to hold down Shift+Ctrl (both on the left) and drag the external games folder into /home/. In the Rockstar launcher, click 'Install' for your desired game and just navigate to this game folder through the shortcut(symlink) you've just created in your /home/ directory. The launcher should immediately recognise the game files and switch to setting up the game instead of re-downloading it.

TIP #4: You can repeat the above process with other launchers like Epic and Ubi Connect, but both have individual quirks. Epic likes to crash until you open a terminal near it's .exe and go "wine EpicGamesLauncher.exe" so it can install it's C++ dependencies first, and Ubi likes to double-launch so after the first time you see the little loading window initialise and close, simply close the second one that opens and you're good to go. At some point I'll make another post about those two but even with the quirks they work better for me than Lutris or Bottles did.

I hope this will help some people.

Hello everyone!

I just want to share my little grain of salt to this wonderful community, since we are getting new members (ALMOST) every single day it would be good if we were to suggest truly "beginner friendly" distros.

What I mean by this is something that can be used by someone who has no clue of how to use the terminal or CMD or anything like that, not everyone is fond of installing Fedora or Arch and having to read a bible worth of information and scour the internet to install Nvidia graphics only to not be successful and just go back to Windows (which is COMPLETELY OKAY TO DO!)

For starters, Fedora is not meant to be a Gaming distro or anything like that, it's meant to be a developer/kind of general use OS, Arch is also kinda the same but more all in one but you NEED to KNOW what you are doing.

Again, not everyone is fond of the terminal, it's a very powerful tool and it's faster/easier/safe for some but for the rest of us we barely used the CMD on Windows or also the terminal on MacOS.

So, going back to my recommendations for someone who would like Linux to keep growing and improve and cater to more general people and not just the tech savvy, here is my personal recommendation where I have been able to get everything working WITHOUT touching the terminal ONCE:

Bazzite: Probably one of the most popular options for Linux Gaming outside SteamOS, Bazzite can bring that SteamOS interface but also a powerful desktop mode that comes with many tweaks and optimizations to make Gaming as smooth as possible, the only downsides (IMHO, this is personal preference and recommendation) is that it's based on Fedora and the installer, man, that installer really is as bad as Windows, other than that it has all that you need to enjoy gaming right off the bat specially if you also use Nvidia because of their Nvidia ISO. A truly STRONG choice and overall a 9/10

Nobara. Alternative to Bazzite: If you are looking for a more "general" use distro based on Fedora that also supports gaming right off the bat then you should also use Nobara, pretty darn good too! 8/10

Linux Mint: Next on the list is Linux Mint, while not really considered a "gaming" distro, gaming on Linux Mint is pretty damn good and not hard, with a integrated tool to help you install Nvidia Drivers after you install and a desktop environment that caters toward people that are still used to Window's look and feel, Currently the "third" most used distro to game on Steam Hardware Survey (at least for this month). I would consider Linux Mint for people who don't have bleeding edge hardware and it can sometimes be a bit behind updates (due to stability concerns) but overall a pretty damn good. 9/10

PopOS. Alternative to Linux Mint: Another great distro based on Ubuntu that caters a bit more towards "gaming" than Linux Mint, with also specific Nvidia ISO and a experience tailored to be as friendly as possible for "new" users PopOS is a solid choice too 8/10

PikaOS: Not really a "new" boy in town but getting more attention as lately, a great experience from start to "finish" (finish as in getting to game), it will kind of feel like Nobara but in a better way, no more Fedora based and that awful awful installer is gone too with a more beginner friendly installer, while lately they been catering more towards the "general" use side of things they have AMAZING optimizations for Gaming and make things absurdly easy to game without having to open a terminal and waste an entire day praying to God that whatever you are doing works, with dedicated GUI tools, dedicated Nvidia ISO and an extremely friendly community ready to help this one is an extremely solid choice, overall a strong 9.5/10

CachyOS: An Arch based distro here?? Yes, it's worth a mention for their efforts and rising popularity, they don't specifically cater towards "beginner" friendly it's still a good choice, I toyed around with it in a VM and looks to be a good choice, with optimized packages, a custom optimized Proton fork and other optimizations this one is also a good choice if you are okay with not having that a fancy GUI then CachyOS is a great choice (also good if you want to try their Handheld version) 8/10

TL;DR: Use Bazzite, Linux Mint or PikaOS for ease of use, CachyOS, Nobara and PopOS for anything else

Hey! I'm having issues with the game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 I bought on Steam.

I have an Nvidia 1650 Super card, which is not new but I expected at least a playable experience. But I have 6-8 FPS in the game everywhere except the menu with LOW settings. (+DLSS Balanced, no Vsync)

Distro: openSUSE Tumbleweed; Proprietary Nvidia driver: 570.169

Updated everything. Tried to use Proton-GE. Tried to hack with vkd3d but still no success. (but I am no expert at this, maybe I did something wrong)

I read that DX12 games run worse on Linux so I also tried it with the -dx11 flag and the framerate was improved but still stuttered and it was full of glitches and missing textures.

Do you have any idea what can I do to get it to a playable state?

Hellooo

I have swapped to Linux on my desktop and with the keyboard and mouse i have, (Steelseries Apex Pro Mini Wireless and Aerox 3 wireless) im not able to configure the RGB settings for them so they are just stuck on the default rainbow wave setting. My mouse is supposedly compatible, but my keyboard isnt. Is there no other alternative to setup different colors? I would like to have my gear have the same ish colors as whatever theme i have going on in my DE and im feeling a little hopeless about it as i dont wanna buy a new keyboard quite yet.

I'm not entirely sure if their announcement of it being the "world's first" truly holds up, but I can't say I've seen anything like Rhythm of Resistance.

Recently my G15 is going through a midlife crisis, and it can barely run most of my games, without lagging crashing or just flat out not launching them, I think its because I had it for 2+ years, I'm thinking of just factory resetting it and starting over but I'm scared because I don't know my logins (Other than steam ofc) and I think switching to SteamOS instead of windows 11 will kind of fix problems. Please answer me, I need advice

i'm having an issue on my Legion Go 1 running bazzite-deck in which TD2 crashes after a few minutes. i watch the vram usage slowly increase until it hard locks the system. and based on the protonDB reports this seems to be an issue on a lot of systems.

i've tried different proton versions, split lock mitigation, launch commands, various settings configs, locking vram to 4gb,6gb,auto. disabling the Uconnect overlay delayed the issue but it still crashes. nothing seems to work.

anyone else having this issue? on the LeGo or other system?

Initially crashed. After I tried to troubleshoot with ChatGPT, I got it to launch into a black screen. Spent at least 6 hours in total trying to make it work and nothing.

I tried a lot of different solutions: 32-bit Windows XP prefix, virtual desktop, installing various components via winetricks (d3dx9, quartz, amstream, dsound, devenum, wmp10, and others I don't remember), overriding various DLLs, renaming the movies folder (so it doesn't load videos), running various versions of Wine and Proton, disabling Esync, Fsync, DXVK (with GE-Proton10-8 it only launches with it turned off), and probably other things I don't remember.

Still I'm stuck at black screen upon launch.

I kept feeding logs to ChatGPT, and it kept identifying problems, until it started repeating itself too often. I feel like it has no answer. I've reinstalled the game like 5 different times just to clean up the prefix and start from scratch or to change the architecture (went from 64-bit to 32-bit and back to 64-bit).

And what's fucked up is that I've seen reports online that this game runs with no issues on Linux, except for maybe the cutscenes (the folder of which I have renamed, so it shouldn't be a problem for me).

my system

my last log from Lutris with debugging enabled

sorry it's messy. This 64-bit Proton prefix is almost new. I did a lot on my 32-bit wine prefix, but all that ended up not mattering, so I didn't bother repeating all the steps on this one. I just hope somebody can find the critical error in there and recommend a solution.

Hello,

Trying to play Call of Cthulhu, it launches, runs, lets me start a new game, but then crashes almost immediately after the game loads for the first time and you get the intro quote.

Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS, Nvidia-driver-575, Steam installed via PopShop (Flatpak). Proton hotfix.

I've tried checking ProtonDB, and though the game is listed as Gold there arent very many tips other than trying other Proton versions. Curious if anyone else has experienced this or has any tips.

The steam output:

Hello everyone,

As I'am planning to switch to Debian from Windows, could anybody tell me how does CS2 run on it? is it worse, same or better? I'm going to play that either way, but wanted to know before hand what peoples experiences are.
