The last of us 2 on arch linux - Nvidia GPU

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 40 Minuten 41 Sekunden

First of all, these are my PC specs:

Kernel: Linux 6.13.8-arch1-1
Display (RG241Y): 1920x1080 @ 165 Hz in 24" [External]
DE: KDE Plasma 6.3.4
WM: KWin (Wayland)
CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12400F (12) @ 4.40 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Lite Hash Rate [Discrete]
Memory: 10.76 GiB / 15.44 GiB (70%)
Swap: 1.17 GiB / 4.00 GiB (29%)
Disk (/): 640.46 GiB / 914.83 GiB (70%) - ext4

I've been able to bypass the launcher in this game by using the following launch option:

SteamDeck=1 %command%

The issue is that the graphics aren't quite what I expected. If I try to increase the graphics settings, the game not only looks worse but also introduces strange, blocky shadows around objects and characters. The only way to get a playable experience is to run the game with Steam Deck graphics settings.

So, while I can technically play the game, it's stuck on Steam Deck settings, even though my PC should be able to run it on very high without any issues.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

some samples for you:

Steam Flatpak Crashing with Update

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 46 Minuten 45 Sekunden

Hey hey! So I'm having trouble with the steam flatpak the past week where it will appear to launch but the GUI doesn't appear and then it will crash without notification. I ran it in terminal and found it's crashing midway through an update.

Things I've tried:

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

flatpak update

sudo flatpak repair

I've also uninstalled Steam flatpak and reinstalled it but the same issue is happening. I didn't delete all the data along with it, just an uninstall and re-install.

Here's the output when I launch it in terminal:

flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam
