DualShock 4 Detection Issues in Shadow of the Tomb Raider via Heroic Games Launcher

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 1 Stunde 3 Minuten

The "Survivor Trilogy" of Tomb Raider has been released in GOG, so i wanted to play those versions from GOG using Heroic Games Launcher.
Now, when playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider installed through Heroic Games Launcher, the DualShock 4 controller behaves inconsistently. Without any modifications, the game detects the controller and shows PlayStation button icons, but the analog sticks are misaligned (moving right acts like up, left acts like down, etc.).

Importing a Wine registry file to enable SDL fixes the stick behavior, but the game then detects two controllers simultaneously: one Xbox and one PlayStation. This causes the on-screen buttons to flicker between Xbox and PlayStation icons, and stick input occasionally freezes.

Does anyone know how could i fix this?

R2ModMan refuses to recognize steam executable

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 1 Stunde 16 Minuten

Title. I've been trying to manually set the location of my steam executable in R2modman for a while now, but it refuses to give any of the ways I can open steam the time of day.

Desktop? Doesn't recognize it. usr/games/steam folder? Doesn't recognize it. I can't seem to find the executable it'll let me select for it to actually run mods in my games (specifically Peak, in this case), and it's really frustrating since every time I google something about it, it seems nobody's had the same issue. It won't let me select just a folder, either, it has to be the steam executable.

This might be a stupid question, I'm still really new to linux, but I don't know what to do at this point. I'm using the latest version of Linux Mint, and I've tried the appimage download and the deb download, and both have given me the same issue, plus every installation guide I've looked at just doesn't say anything about this problem. I've tried restarting my pc, reinstalling R2, adding R2 to my Steam games list even, just kinda hoping for a miracle.

Steam opens fine, R2 opens fine, and Peak opens fine. I also don't have a lot of faith that the Peak executable would be recognized, either, but I haven't tried yet.

SwayWM, RTX 5080, subpar framerates

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 4 Stunden 30 Minuten

Is Sway just plain unusable with NVIDIA? Would LabWC work fine or should I just go right on back to x11/xlibre?

I'd prefer to not have to change all of my software back but I'd like to have my GPU I just dropped a G on work flawlessly.

Anyone get it to play nicely?

A way to safely compartmentalise files and game installations?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 5 Stunden 13 Minuten

I've a whole lot of old games, but they are procured from questionable sources, (old websites, old torrents etc.) and with no modern windows defender to rely on, that for all its flaws would safely filter most of the 20+ year old unwanted surprises, I need a way to safely use the files and play the games.

I've not used virtual machines before, but from what I understand they might not be necessary, instead something like steam does on Linux, where it sections the installations off in their own directories that don't interact with anything else, might be enough for most cases? Or am I wrong about this?

What is the most secure and easiest to setup way to go about such a problem?

PS: I've also seen advice on the net mentioning avoiding storing anything unverified in the home folder in general, but then where do I install things like games I intend to use with WIne or Lutris, for example?

Games (God of War 2022) Using Desktop Resolution as In-game res

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 5 Stunden 50 Minuten

Hey all!

Running God of War through Lutris, Heroic, and Bottles.

  1. Game goes to black screen on Lutris before crashing to desktop. Doesnt run at all.
  2. Heroic runs it perfectly with what appears to be full performance.
  3. Bottles runs it at reduced performance, no idea why.
  4. Also, the game uses the desktop resolution as teh base resolution and applies upscaling etc to that, and on my 4k tv, it takes the base resolution as 6044 x 3072 or something, not the 4k it should be. Any help would be highly appreciated.

EDIT: I changed resolution scaling from 125% to 100% and it allowed me to scale from 4k. However, is there any way I can keep my scaling at 125 for the desktop and the game still using 4k as the base resolution?

[Ubuntu Mint] Need help with SteamTinkerLaunch

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. September 2025 - 23:58

On my quest to get DSR-Gadget.exe to pair with Dark Souls Remastered so that I can make pvp builds, I Tried a TON of different things with SteamTinkerLaunch coming the closest to working. In case it's important, Gadget is basically cheat engine, it lets you respec your character, teleport to bonefires, and spawn in gear... if I could get it to work. Can anyone with experience with this give me insight on what I need to do to get Gadget to pair with Dark Souls Remastered?

A Bugfixed Minecraft.deb Installer for Debian Gamers

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. September 2025 - 23:17

Greetings, fellow Linux gamers. Recently, I patched a buxfix into the official Minecraft.deb package from minecraft.net. With the official package, Debian users often encounter an error about lib-gdk2.0-0. This is due to a missing hyphen between “lib-gdk” and “2.0-0.” After repackaging the .deb installer with that extra hyphen, no errors were encountered and Minecraft installed flawlessly. So, in the spirit of giving, I have added this bugfixed Minecraft.deb to my Git repository for anyone to use on Debian, so you can avoid the hassle of repackaging the installer yourselves.

I need help launching Monster Hunter Wilds

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. September 2025 - 22:31

Hello, I have a problem when starting the game. Before that, I played it on Steam Deck and it worked (poorly, but it worked) and recently I built myself a PC and decided to launch MHW. On the loading screen, when the coffee texture appears, the game freezes, after which an inscription constantly pops up stating that the game has frozen. I really want to play MHW, since I went through to the final boss (according to my assumptions) of the first story campaign on Steam Deck and I don't understand what the problem might be.
I have tried various startup settings, for example DXVK_ASYNC=1 DXVK_CONFIG="dxvk.enableAsync=true" %command%, but still faced this problem.

OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Host: B650M GAMING WIFI6E
Kernel: Linux 6.16.8-zen3-1-zen

Hardware insufficient for Bazzite, is Ubuntu a good option?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. September 2025 - 20:34

I have been looking at putting Bazzite on an old Windows 10 machine that I got free. After doing the research I was set on Bazzite until I did a double check and it seems that my pc isn’t compatible with the necessary Vulkan.

Is this a problem with Ubuntu? I’m wanting to mainly play via Steam and probably WoW.

I have a i5 7400, 24GB Ram and plenty of storage, and a total novice with Linux.

Directx12 on Thinkpad T14g1 AMD

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. September 2025 - 20:05

I play on Steam, and I find some games which were playable, are now unplayable because my machine now "doesn't have DirectX12" ... it used to work, but then I did a re-install and now apparently something is missing. (I use Arch BTW)

I have used ProtonDB, and checked everything I can.

My big issue is Lego Star Wars: Skywalker Saga (my daughter loves it, and misses it)

Can you point me in the right direction? Please?
