Getting Far Cry 4 to run under Intel Graphics?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 Jul 2025 - 2:02pm
  • i7-1165G7
  • Iris Xe
  • 6.15.3-arch1-1
  • SwayWM

(I'm fully aware that the Integrated Graphics here are below the system requirements for FC4, however it has no issues running natively at reduced settings on Windows, FC3 and FC5 both also run acceptably under proton.)

I've tried pretty much every combination of launch options outlined in the game's protondb compatibility page, as well as multiple different versions of both normal and GloriusEggroll releases and the result is always the same:

  • Ubisoft Connect window shows up, syncs saves, etc
  • Game starts, executable shows up in btop but is perpetually stuck at 100-200mb of ram usage and won't go any higher

Anyone else had similar issues? or if not could maybe point me in the right direction? Sorry if I haven't provided enough info, this is all I could think of that could be relevant.

Oblivion remastered/steam/external drive

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 Jul 2025 - 11:56am

Trying to get an install of Oblivion Remastered that I set up on an external SSD to actually run. Pressing the play button does absolutely nothing.

Linux Mint Cinnamon, fully updated. Steam's fully updated. Game's fully updated. I've never had this issue on Windows, and my system's SSD doesn't have any room for games left on it, so this was my solution... but it's not working.

Dancing issue on Nvidia drivers (kinda connected with gaming)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 Jul 2025 - 11:16am

Hi, on one of my screens I see "dancing pixels" on a static image, for example screen settings window. This screen is LG, 1080p75hz, 2nd is iiyama 1080p144hz. Now I'm using KDE and the issue occurs, beforehand I had a similar issue on Hyprland & Arch, but disabling of the freesync helped me back then - now - no chances. Both screens are connected via DP cable. Ofc issue does not occur on Windows 11, so it's not a hardware thing. I also forced GDM with a flag usage in my grub configuration.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 Jul 2025 - 10:26am

(Steam news) You all know, steam introduced this extended fps overlay. But even with the latest steam version, I can only select these 2 options. Because actually there should be 4 options.
What should I do? Is there a package missing?
I try delete steam (pacman -Rn steam) and reinstall, butnothing change.

Pc main spec and OS:
Processor. AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
Memory: 32 GiB RAM

Mouse click latency

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 Jul 2025 - 9:34am

My mouse doesn't support onboard memory for click latency and performance mode and runs on 8ms click latency by default, even on 1000hz polling rate, it has to run driver in the back to get 1ms click and performance mode, it has no driver for linux, I don't know what to do 😭, my games are running crisp, everything is okay, just this one issue.

Other than privacy, what do you like about gaming on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 Jul 2025 - 8:20am

I'm looking to try just Bazzite on the PC I'm about to put together and I'm mostly interested in it because I'm tired of paying for Microsoft spyware.

Do you dual boot with windows? Or another Linux distro, or at all?

I'm a noob at this and just here for some guidance/inspiration.

Fun with pipewire remapping

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 Jul 2025 - 7:53am

I was trying to run Neuromancer (Apple IIGS version) using xkegs emulator, and hit a weird issue where it produces a mono sound that plays in left channel which is super annoying. You can remap things for pipewire with something like qpwgraph, but it also can be scripted.

I ended up doing something like this in a script:

pw-link --disconnect 'KEGS:output_FR' '<my_audio_card_sink>:playback_FR' pw-link 'KEGS:output_FL' '<my_audio_card_sink>:playback_FR'

This connects left channel of the output from Kegs to right channel of audio sink, making mono duplicated on both channels.

Just wanted to share if anyone needs such idea.

To analyze your current links, run something like this:

pw-link --links --id

Or use qpwgraph as above.

I want more natively supported online games on linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 Jul 2025 - 7:43am

I have been using linux for a while, well tbh, it's just there as a separate operating system on my pc since only very few competitive/multiplayer games run natively on linux. Alot of things I do on linux works smooth, feels crisper than windows. But everyone launches/optimizes windows not linux and me angy. What went wrong in this timeline?
