Elden Ring Fills Up RAM and Crashes PC While Loading

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 2 Stunden 57 Minuten

I've been trying to run Elden Ring on Fedora 42. The game boots up fine and gets into character customisation however once I start loading in my whole pc hard freezes. I cant even switch to another TTY, I have to hard reset my pc. When I have managed to alt tab during the loading process I can see my RAM filling up very quickly before everything freezes.

The game used to work for me (a long time ago) and every other game I've tried works fine so i'm pretty sure I didnt bork any system configs, it's just Elden Ring.

I honestly have no idea where to even start with this issue. What I have currently tried is switching to proton-ge, switching to an older version of proton, running elden ring with "PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 %command%" argument.

Theres a deleted reddit post that had a similar issue (I saw it from the search engine cache) and I tried the solution proposed by a user in the comments but he mentions that it could kernel issue. However I've seen another post that mentions the user running it fine on his f42 install so it must be some sort of tinkering ive done to my system over time (It's quite an old install aha)

Anyway, any help would be really appreciated, even if its just directing me to the relevant log files, ive never had to look into an error like this so I dont even know where to start with logs.

Red Dead Redemption Remastered Social Club Freeze/Crash

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 6 Stunden 49 Minuten

good afternoon my fellow gamers. i come here to these intelectual lands in search of assistance. to cut it short:

I have Red Dead Redemption Remastered on Steam. The problem i face is that the game freezes before even reaching the menu actual menu screen. right before the social club pop up appears on windows. i got it working ONLY ONCE before it stopped working. the problem i face is related to social club i think. because when i used my windows virtual machine i had no problems. i used every solution listed on protondb, googled possible solutions for it, changed the kernel version, proton version, even tried to manually put my windows save inside proton. it did not work. i still have the same problem where it freezes before it reaches the actual menu screen. It seems like i'm the only one with this problem. everyone who played the game had no issue like mine and every game that caused me trouble i was able to fix it.

any help, possible fix or solution at all would be very appreciated

Confusion, frustration...

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. April 2025 - 22:59

So, I have a few games I bought from Steam that require Ubisoft Connect to play, I've tried doing several things, following several tutorials, and nothing seems to work. I tried doing things my own way, downloading the game from Steam and trying to launch it, got a prompt that it can't detect Uplay and something else with a menu that pops up. Doing it through Lutris, I can't even get it to download it through Ubisoft Connect, the button doesn't seem to do anything. I'm completely new and green to Linux and I am using Linux Mint. I just used timeshift to go back to the fresh install and asking for help here before I mess up more things.

Current state of FSR 4?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. April 2025 - 22:49

Hi everyone!

I'm wondering about the current state and near-future plans regarding FSR 4 support on Linux. After a long time with Nvidia, I'm switching to an AMD 9070 XT (arriving on Monday), and I'd like to understand how well FSR 4 currently performs, especially since I have a 4K monitor.

I understand that Linux lacks features like Nvidia's DLSS DLL updates, although perhaps tools like OptiScaler could help here. Specifically, does FSR 4 work smoothly in native Linux games when using bleeding-edge setups like Mesa-git and Proton Experimental?

Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance, and have a great day or night, depending on your time zone! :)

Enabling tearing on Wayland (CS2)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. April 2025 - 21:03

Trying to play it in sway with tearing enabled and it's a rather unpleasant experience, feels like it tears much stronger than it should and there's crazy artifacting in menus or map loading screens, which is an even bigger problem because it's usually straight up stroboscopic flickering. Why is that and how to fix? Other games seem to run fine with sway's tearing.

I would just enable vsync, but my monitor is slow (100hz) so input lag is noticeable with vsync.

Which flavor should I try?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. April 2025 - 20:45

Hey! Ive been getting sick of windows lately, I want to try out linux as my main OS! Which should I try? I do programming but I also dont want to compromise on gaming, ive recently been playing marvel rival, which one would be good for that? When I google I get recommended EndeavourOS, but Ive seen Fedora and Debian being popular! I plan on trying them all at some point, but which do you like?

I should add, I have an Nvidia GPU (gtx 1050) + Ryzen 5 1600

Fallout 4, Steam, keyboard becomes unresponsive

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. April 2025 - 20:10

Per title, after playing approximately 30 minutes, the keyboard starts to get unresponsive (the mouse is always fine). Sometimes pressing a key will result in nothing, other times results in something unexpected (pressing 'w' makes the character move backwards).

Sometimes an ALT+TAB will resolve it for a while, but other times not. If I sit and wait a while it seems the keyboard will "catch up".

Searching, some folks on Windows have had success turning off gamepad support in an ini file, but that file and setting do not exist on my installation.

Any clues? Thanks in advance!

Desperately trying to get STALKER: Anomaly to run AGAIN...(wine, dxvk, DX11)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. April 2025 - 20:10

Hello friends. I am really desperate because I am trying since two or three days to get Stalker Anomaly to run...to run again because about a week ago the game worked to my surprise almost out-of-the-box.

There are many questions and threads on the net about this topic. Unfortunately, it did not work. So my last hope is to ask people who are more experienced and more competent with this issue than me.

I had already enough time spent to get this game run on Debian Trixie/Testing and it pissed me that much off that I even copied the /opt/wine-staging directory and pasted it into my current system (I had to reinstall Debian). My experience showed me that I needed Lutris and (I am not 100% sure) some DXVK-files, some DirectX-DLLs which should replace the existing DLLs of the same name.

When the game worked, I even made screenshots of Lutris' settings for safety, but now they seem useless.
I had my WINEPREFIX in /opt/wine-staging but then I made apparently a mistake when I created (in console, without Lutris) a 32-bit WINEPREFIX in some other directory (/home/user/.wine or so). After that, the game (Stalker Anomaly 1.5.3) shows the launcher screen when I run AnomalyLauncher.exe, but after starting it (I've tried out every option) I get a black screen with an error message shortly after.

When choosing DX8 or DX9, the message says "shader compilation failed". But my main goal is to run it with DX11, then I get something like "Unhandled exception. See error log for details" - same occurs with DX10.

I tried PlayOnLinux today as an alternative to Lutris, but I couldn't get any results. Purged and reinstalled wine-packages, copied the mentioned DLLs from DXVK's Github to system32 and syswow64, toggled the options in Lutris what to enable/disable, tried running with different wine-versions in different WinePrefixes - no results. I AM FCKD! :(

I beg you...could we make some step-by-step recipe for it (also for others struggling with Anomaly on Linux)? I mean, the game was running excellent a week ago and now I can't find and correct some mistake I apparently made...

Some stats of my system:
OS: Debian GNU/Linux trixie/sid (trixie) x86_64
Host: B550 GAMING X V2 -CF
Kernel: 6.12.22-amd64
Resolution: 1920x1080 @ 60.00Hz
DE: Plasma 6.3.4 [KF 6.13.0] [Qt 6.8.2] (x11)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 (12) @ 4.4GHz
GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 6600/6600 XT/6600M (8 GB)
Memory: 5.65 GiB / 15.55 GiB (36%)
Network: 1 Gbps
BIOS: American Megatrends International, LLC. 5.17 (11/14/2022)

vulkaninfo/vulkan-tools work well - as I already said, everything worked already fine...
What I should do to get it to run? Reinstall, get some binaries and "integrate" them into the prefix - but maybe this should be done some different way than I did?

Thank you very, very, much for any helpful answers...please help me...

AMD technologies on Linux in 2025, how is it going ?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. April 2025 - 19:59

Hi Linux people, my gaming PC is on a full red config (R7 5700X + RX6600) and i'm planning to start to fully using linux on it soon. But i'm using amd tools like FSR (upscaling and frame generation) and freesync, and i'd like to know how they are supported now, and how to use them.

I did some researches but articles and posts i found were often outdated or not really clear so if you can enlighten me that would be really cool :)

Btw i'm planning to use Bazzite, idk if it has something to do but if you know other distros that support amd stuff better i'd be glad to know.
