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.

Thanks.

Hey, on games I have this weird thing where the FPS is quite average / low (40 - 50), when neither the CPU nor the GPU is used at 100%. Could there be something else throttling or is it maybe more of a software issue ? Temps seem to be OK.

Now, I don't have low FPS on every game ; but demanding games, which I would expect to use every drop of ressources available, don't seem to do so.

I use the performance GNOME setting and gamemoderun for each of my games.

Hi all! I am at a loss on the issue I'm having regarding using OBS virtual camera in a Discord stream on the flatpak install version. OBS works and virtual camera operates normally, Discord functions fine outside of the problem I'm having. Basically, when I share my screen and pick the "share a device" option for the OBS virtual camera, it just loads infinitely and never actually streams anything successfully. Sharing my screen works, and sharing apps works, but sharing the OBS virtual camera never loads in. Has anyone run into this and found a solution? Thanks for any help provided!

Yesterday I renamed my "Battle.net Launcher.exe" in the steam game list to be just "Battle.net Launcher". Today I tried to launch it and nothing happened. I went to look for the launcher file in the correspoding path folder, but the entire prefix had disappeared.

Luckily my Diablo 2 saves were in a different prefix and as a cautionary action I copied them to my home folder. I proceeded to reinstall battlenet launcher as usual and after completing it both my Diablo 2 and Hearthstone prefixes were gone and at least I couldn't find them.

Has anyone had similar experiences with prefixes being deleted? I'm running Bazzite KDE.

Hello.

I just woke up one today to realise that - for no reason - steam stopped to rumble the controller.

At first I thought was the controller rumble was broken or something. I used the Steam's settings > controller > test device inputs and when clicking the rumble button nothing happens.

I've ran the fftest and verified that the hardware is fine and rumbling, so I'm not sure why Steam can't do it. I tried a guide posted here 3y ago but did not work.

Any ideas and how to get that rumble back?

Controller is the ps5 dualsense wireless, put always on the wire.

It was working yesterday!

Thanks.

Recently I’ve bought Lenovo Legion Go (amazing for indie and older games with tablet mode).
First OS of choice for me was Bazzite and I was running it for a week… But You know how it is with Linux... You want to check what other hand held distros have to offer, so I did it yesterday.
Here are my finds (spoiler alter, I’ve reinstalled Bazzite).

SteamOS

• Easy to install, no keyboard is required;
• GameMode runs fine, but without Decky I was missing configuration options, QuickSetting menu is more clunky compared to Bazzite, very smooth performance;
• DesktopMode was unusable for me, outdated Plasma with X session and scaling issues;

CatchyOS

• A little bit harder to install, keyboard is required, systemd-boot menu is displayed on boot;
• GameMode; QuickSetting menu has all configuration option for LegionGO with additional overlay (same as bazzite), severe performance issues in low power mode;
• DesktopMode – usable, with mallit keyboard installed by default, scaling issues with SteamKeyboard and Steam (when exiting big picture mode);

Nobara

• Live session, keyboard is required - no issues with installation;
• Both GameMode and DesktopMode: overall clunky experience with tools provided by the distro - unusable for me;
• Controller was detected as DualSense, no overlay by default to easily change it;

Bazzite

• No live session, boot directly into installer, keyboard is required;
• GameMode: no issues, QuickSettings with additional Overlay for more in-depth configuration are easily accessible, slight performance issues with how TDP settings are working on LegionGO;
• DesktopMode: missing mallit keyboard (there is a script for a one-click installation), update tool runs in terminal (may be scary for some people) but other than that – no issues;

Some games on steam will get this error, no matter what proton version it is.
