Macro Creators like MacroGamer

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 36 Minuten 54 Sekunden

So recently I installed Nobara and I've had issues with a Macro Creator I used on Windows called MacroGamer "https://www.itoady.com/" it let me record manually with the mouse and keyboard, recording delays and movement which was very helpful for gaming. The issue I have with it now is that it doesn't register when I activate it except for 1 game which was MapleStory that just so happened to run it.

Are there any Macro Creators that are like this that are compatible with Nobara or is there a simple fix that I'm missing

Desktop Mode

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 1 Stunde 35 Minuten

Im getting a second pc (GMKtec Evo x2) to use mostly as a console-esque gaming pc.

I’m having a hard time deciding whether I should install the Steam game mode or regular KDE version. Seems like game mode is better for gaming (tdp controls, decky, etc), while KDE is better as a pc.

It’s my understanding that steam big picture mode isn’t quite the same as Steam game mode, but I’m more interested in whether there are any differences between the desktop environment within Game Mode and KDE. Will dual monitors work within the desktop environment of game mode for instance?

Is there something I don’t know or that I’m not considering to steer me one way or another? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Windows 11 - Batman Arkham City doesn't works

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 1 Stunde 49 Minuten

Hi everyone, excuse me for the disturbance, I know this place is for Linux gaming, but I really need help for my friend's game. He, the last month, bought a steam key of the collection of Batman Arkham, he has played the first game yet without problem and now he wants to play to the second chapter, but, after he installed the game with steam, he open it and after he click Single Player for game, the game crashed without advisor

So I tried to control the integrity of files, and it's all okay, but It didn't works again, in fact he uninstalled the game, cancelled every game data and reinstalled it, but he has already the same problem. He has a windows 11 OS, with Nvidia GPU, he did every upgrade, so he and I don't understand what's wrong

Someone can help me to fix this problem?

[CachyOS] The Last of Us parts I and II with white squares and poor performance.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 3 Stunden 20 Minuten

I've had a Nitro V15 (i5 13th, 16GB RAM, RTX 4050) for a little less than 3 months. When it arrived, I installed ZorinOS 18 and played The Last of Us Part II on Steam, at about 90 FPS and reasonable graphics (medium to high).

A few days ago, Zorin updated the Nvidia drivers and after that, no game worked anymore. (I believe the problem was the Nvidia driver. If this information is relevant, driver 580.126.09). I couldn't revert to the previous version and had to format (which didn't solve the problem), so I decided to change the Linux distribution.

Currently I'm on Cachy OS with Gnome.

The problem I'm facing is the one in the photo, those white squares in textures like snow, light, and smoke from explosions. Both in The Last of Us Part I and Part II. Besides, the game with the graphics on low is running at a painful 30~40 FPS.

I'm using Proton 10 from CachyOS. I've already tried other versions of Proton like 10 and 9. But the problem persists.

I've already tested all the Anti-aliasing and Scaling (DLSS and FXR) settings but nothing changes, regardless of the setting chosen.

In other games like Dead by Daylight, GTA V and Baldur's Gate 3, I didn't notice any performance problems, nor problems with graphics.

A friend said it could be a problem with the GPU. But since the other games work, I prefer to believe it's some configuration problem.

As I said, I've played TLOU on this laptop before and didn't have these problems. But I was playing Zorin.

Hi everyone, I’m using Arch Linux with KDE Plasma on Wayland. Vesktop (Discord client) used to show my currently playing games, but after recent system updates it no longer detects any games

Is there any solution to this problem?

Satisfactory on Linux Mint won’t detect GPU, Epic/Heroic crashes

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. Februar 2026 - 22:10

Hey, I’m trying to run Satisfactory on Linux Mint XFCE with a GTX 1080 (NVIDIA 535) via Heroic or Epic Launcher.

Problem:

  • Epic Launcher crashes immediately under Wine/Proton.
  • Heroic starts but Satisfactory gives:

A D3D11-compatible GPU (Feature Level 11.0, Shader Model 5.0) is required to run the engine.

What I tried:

  • NVIDIA drivers + Vulkan (libvulkan1, libvulkan1:i386, vulkan-tools) → GPU detected via vulkaninfo
  • Wine 64/32 installed, winbind installed (ntlm_auth fixed)
  • Protontricks: corefonts, vcrun2019
  • Heroic Launch Options: -ForceDX12, PROTON_USE_WINED3D=0

Nothing works. Satisfactory never detects my GPU under DX11 or DX12.

Has anyone actually run Satisfactory on Linux Mint with NVIDIA? It seems like I am the only one with this kind of problem

Undervolt Nvidia GPU on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. Februar 2026 - 21:05

Hello, I was wondering if it's possible to undervolt a 4070Ti Super on Linux to increase its lifespan and reduce temperatures, the same way you can on Windows. I can't find any software for it.

Had enough of windows crap switching to linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. Februar 2026 - 20:49

My entire life I used windows and a bit of macos, but in the last years I downgraded from windows 11 to 10 and almost to 7 because of how shitty the updates were. And now I’m thinking to switch to linux. I already have a steam deck and i like it pretty much. What would you recommend to a linux newbie. Going through a fast search on google and youtube, many recommend mint and bazzite. I’m 80% of the time playing games(that s why i posted here and not on the main linux reddit), for photoshop found gimp as an alternative. What are your recommendations, please teach me the linux way lol. (Yes i have amd cpu and gpu)

Baldurs Gate 3 Runs Flawlessly

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. Februar 2026 - 20:14

This might be the most demanding game that I've ran on any system. I know the native build was more designed on steam deck but it works flawlessly using Pop os. Highly recommend the game overall especially on Linux!

steam launch options in an sh file as a non-steam game?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. Februar 2026 - 19:47

hey all,

I'm using r2modman for Enter The Gungeon. You can start the mods through steam if you put some commands in the launch options for the game, but then every time I want to play vanilla ETG, I would have to take these commands/arguments out.

What I want is for ETG to be vanilla, then have modded ETG as a separate nonsteam game, which launches from a .sh file. For this to work I need a way to have these launch options from within the sh file. I tried just pasting in the options after "steam steam://rungameid/311690". I tried putting them before that command, I tried putting it in between steam and steam://rungameid/311690. I tried putting them in the launch options of the nonsteam game. Nothing worked.

Is there a way to do this? Thanks!
