Hitting 300 FPS on PoE2 on Archlinux. Was maxing out around 230 on Windows on same machine.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 2 Stunden 40 Minuten

Doesn't really matter in my case because the monitor is 240Hz refresh rate.
But still cool that nowadays we can get the most out of games on max graphics at higher performance than Windows.
Plus I am running the rest of my OS in ~2 GB of RAM.

Path of Exile 2 fps/gpu power limited?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 2 Stunden 52 Minuten

Hey guys so I've been playing PoE2 but having some performance issues, and I noticed via LACT that strangely while my GPU usage shows 99%, it weirdly caps out at 75W draw? It's limit says it's 135, and I ran a benchmark via Furmark and it was able to draw 135 no problem.

Distro: CachyOS

GPU: AMD Radeon 6600XT

Not sure if any other info is needed there but man I've been trying to troubleshoot this for awhile and really cannot figure this out. Is this just normal somehow? I was under the impression that if it's running a game then the GPU should draw it's maximum amount of power.

This happens regardless of proton distro and I've tried checking power profile settings too like via powerprofilesctl and setting it to performance manually or adjusting the options in LACT but nothing seems to work.

KDE Keeps crashing (or its something else?)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 6 Stunden 40 Minuten

I could use some assistance on this one. On a regular occurrence my system will begin to freeze up, internet will cut out, and sometimes I cannot interact with anything and will have to hard reset, other times I can pull up the start menu and restart.

I am currently running Bazzite 42. I have an AMD 7950X and a Nvida 4080 Super. I have tried Nobara as well with KDE Plasma and had the same issue. I have tried gnome a little bit, did not use long as I just do not like gnome but did not seem to happen, this is why I suspect KDE.

Not sure what logs to provide or how as I am still fairly new to Linux, but whatever help can be provided would be much appreciated.

cpupower-gui for Fedora/Nobara

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. September 2025 - 23:44

This may not be the right forum for this... After 5+ years and a major update related catastrophe on Manjaro, I switched to Nobara. The cutting edge software and updates was fun for a while, but I wanted something a bit more stable, less headaches, less tinkering and troubleshooting, but still gaming-centric... Anyway, I'm trying to install cpupower-gui, but it's not in the repos or Flatpak. I'm not a CLI ninja by any stretch of the imagination, but I tried building from source... that's not working either... any suggestions? Is there something like the AUR for Fedora? Or, is the a cpupower-gui alternative that works natively on Fedora/Nobara?

Alt Tab Nightmare

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. September 2025 - 23:08

CachyOS (Arch)
Wayland
KDE 6.4 Plasma

So I am having a serious issue with gaming on linux. When running Windows games via Proton / Steam...

If I Alt Tab out of and then back into a fullscreen game (or switch desktop via keyboard shortcut), the game stops updating new frames after a second or two, until I AltTab again, and then it shows new frames for a second or two and then stops displaying new frames again.

Sometimes games trigger this behavior upon entering a load screen. Sometimes I am able to repeatedly AltTab and trick the game by bugging the panel to appear on top, which seems to work (except that now the panel is over part of the game)

Apparently this is a well known issue with KDE Plasma, but none of the solutions I've found online seem to work. Windowed Bordeless Fullscreen seems to have the same issue as True Fullscreen. I've tried adding rules to the window manager to disable compositing, but the issue persists.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Can anyone out there help me solve this?

Any planting and disarming games?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. September 2025 - 22:49

I wanted to play a game like Counter-Strike or Valorant, but the only one that runs on my PC is Counter-Strike 1.6 with ease. The game is old, there are some things I didn't like, and I wanted a more modern game, but, as I said, this is the only one I know that runs it.

Any recommendations?I use the Nobara project

My PC config:

Processors:8x Intel® Core™ i5-10210U CPU @ 1.60GHz

Memory: 8 GiB RAM (7.6 GiB usable)

Graphics Processor: Intel® UHD GraphicsIntegrated

System Version: V1.22

My vega 64 keeps crashing while i'm playing some games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. September 2025 - 22:40

I'm using a used vega 64 for my pc since i can't afford a new gpu and i can't seem to solve the issue of it crashing constantly. I had the firmware reinstalled and i've tweaked the voltage and set the fan speed the highest it can go. The games i know of that it crashes on are warhammer 40,000: darktide, garrys mod, sometimes roblox depending on the game, and helldivers other games probably crash it but it's prob not exclusive for just some games. The only thing i haven't tried is messing with drivers because idk exactly what to do there since idk much about linux drivers. If you can help i'd appreciate it :)

Error with Lutris Winetricks

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. September 2025 - 22:33

Hello there, I've recently gotten into gaming on linux, and for the most part things have been going smoothly. I recently wanted to get back into BG3 and wanted to use their mod loader for sorting out the load order of my mods and to install mods not on the game itself. I'm finding difficulty in getting it set up in lutris though. I found some tutorials and whenever I get to the part of installing dotnet 4.7.2 I get this error

https://preview.redd.it/dboj585g4mmf1.png?width=528&format=png&auto=webp&s=a097db6db76e03ba2d230da9d8e0d9f76737dcf5

Eventually it closes on its own and it pops up again until I close lutris. I did install wine as well, so any idea on what I did wrong or what is going on, because I did do the bit that gives me the 32 bit added to the system at the start of wine, so I'm just confused what I did wrong.
