DS5 drift Linux only

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. April 2025 - 00:33

I’m getting stick drift on the right stick, it’s not the controller as it works fine on windows and on ps5 anyone else have this annoying issue? Im thinking it’s related to joystick wake or the Xbox controller driver conflicting with it.

Unable to install Linux on my Asrock DeskMini X600

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. April 2025 - 00:22

I bought this Deskmini to use it as a living room console, so I tried installing gaming linux distros without any success. I tried installing Bazzite, ChimeraOS, Steam OS and they all failed. Even Linux Mint failed. Looks like the only OS this PC accepts is Windows 10/11 , and I don't know why.

Right now I'm using Windows 10, but I wanted to install Linux on it.
On Bazzite I managed to get to the boot screen, but it always gets stuck on the installation process. SteamOS just gets a blank screen. Do I need to change any settings on the BIOS that I'm not aware of?

I tried enabling/disabling secure boot, TPM, UEFI/Legacy, different USB ports, different usb sticks, nothing.

The tech support only said "Make sure those OS from Linux support to install in EUFI mode" lol

SPECS: Asrock DeskMini X600 - Ryzen 5 8600G - 32GB ram DDR5 6400mhz - 2TB WD Black SN770 - BIOS at the latest version 4.10

SteamCMD has no installation candidate Ubuntu 24.04 (Yes I've tried adding the repo and architure)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. April 2025 - 23:38

I am trying to do the pre-reqs for installing steamcmd.

sudo add-apt-repository multiverse sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt update sudo apt install steamcmd

When I do the install steamcmd I receive the error message regarding no installation candidate.

In 24.04 the sources list is now in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources

which contains the following after attempting to add the repos:

Types: deb URIs: http://phx-ad-2.clouds.ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ Suites: noble noble-updates noble-backports Components: main universe restricted multiverse Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg ## Ubuntu security updates. Aside from URIs and Suites, ## this should mirror your choices in the previous section. Types: deb URIs: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports Suites: noble-security Components: main universe restricted multiverse Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg

I gots noes ideas whats Ims doings wrongs.

Edit

Forgot to mention the errors when doing the apt update:

Steaminput is unusable, cannot find anyone having the same issue anywhere

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. April 2025 - 22:38

It detects my keyboard's adapter as a controller, it will not detect a wireless Dualsense, and when the Dualsense is plugged in the bindings are all wrong in games. Never had these problems on Debian (had issues but not these) so I'm sure it's an easy fix but I can't find ANYTHING relating to this.

Using Tumbleweed on XFCE btw, yes steam-devices is installed, yes I tried doing a dup

Minecraft server (Forge or fabric, honestly anything really) On the raspberry pi5

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. April 2025 - 22:18

So I had been trying to get a minecraft server to run on my raspberry pi 5, but unfortunately I'm not that good with linux. I was perhaps wondering if anyone could teach me how I could possibly do this. I did see that the "Pi-app store" (unofficial) had something that could be what I need but I had too much trouble figuring it out. So in total I kind of just need a tutorial or someone to help?

How to play Half Life Alyx with Quest 3

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. April 2025 - 21:09

Hi, got a quest 3 recently and I'm trying to get it working with Linux with no success. I have it connected via Link cable to my PC and have tried with ALVR, WiVRn and SteamVR. The most that happened was with WiVRn where after launching the game, the headset flashed a few times and then showed black screen.

I am using Envision with the 'WiVRn - Envision Default' profile.

SteamVR doesn't even launch.

ALVR is unable to launch SteamVR as well, even with the launch options set to what it recommended.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Red Dead Redemption 2 Online with friends

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. April 2025 - 21:06

Hello,
Recently me and a friend wanted to play Red Dead 2 Online together only to get hit by "Incompatible Assets" error whenever he tried to join me or I him.
I'm playing on Linux Arch with Lutris since I don't own the steam version of RDR2. He plays on win11 also using the Rockstar Launcher Version, I looked around on the internet but couldn't find anything apart from the startup.meta file "trick". We both confirmed to not have that file in our game folders and also attempted using it with the same password. However, the error persisted.

My and his game work fine, we can both play online and access it's contents without issues. Just not play together.

Help with GPU drivers (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. April 2025 - 20:59

Dear community,

I'm currently having issues with my GPU driver. Please see attached screenshots for system specs and futher details.

When I use the proprietary NVIDIA Driver 550 I'm having buggy sound. It sounds distorted and really annoying in games and also when watching videos. The sound bugs appear no matter if I use HDMI for audio output or dedicated speakers on the 3.5 mm output of my mainboard.

The same when using the 535 driver. When I choose the 470 driver one of the games I tried won't launch due to missing DirectX 11.

The open source driver won't start successfully. It appears to work when I select it. But after the restart when trying gpustat it will show "driver not loaded". Also the games will only run on very low framerates and one game (Transport Fever 2) will state that the game is only running on an integrated GPU and I should select the correct GPU before starting the game.

Please help. I just want stable sound and a working GPU. Nothing fancy. Any ideas what could cause the issue and how I could solve it?

Is it possible to enable steam shader precaching on per game basis?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. April 2025 - 20:38

There are some games in my library that stutter without shader precompilation, but majority of my library does not. I don't want to enable shader precompilation globally because it downloads new shaders every time i start steam, which is annoying and also puts some load on my cpu

This may be a stupid question, but bear with me. How well does coop games work on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. April 2025 - 20:16

I mean like how likely are they crashing, or have networking issues or things like that?
Some examples: Risk of Rain 2, REPO, Deep Rock Galactic, Synthetik, UNO and sometimes Euro Truck Simulator both with the ingame convoy multiplayer and TruckersMP.

question about Core Control

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. April 2025 - 19:48

Hi everyone. ive been running nobara OS for the last 2-3 days.

And core control shows that my gpu is only using like 300 watts where it can take 350watts out of the factory.

its a 7900xtx.

i did like all the unlock core control stuff. i do have full control over the wattage and can also control the fans no problem at all.
clockspeeds also looked fine, just as in windows around 2700mhz on core and 2500mhz on memory. so theres that, but...

somewhere i have read that core control only shows power usage from the ,,actual DIE" and not the total board power?

is that correct? or is there something wrong with my gpu under linux and something isnt working as intended?

when i put the watt on 350 watts in CoreControl my HotSpot temps go up to 95 to a 100 degre celcius. which is kinda weird because in windows i have around 90 degree hotspot with that 350watts of power draw.

so i am assuming core control is only showing me watt usage of the actual die and not the full board power draw, but i am totally not sure what it does and how it does it.
so id better ask before i break something :/

does someone has any information about this, and is there another tool for linux to check the full power draw of the gpu ?

Game scope won’t stretch my res and much more

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. April 2025 - 19:02

When I use gamescope I can’t use my mouse, it’s locked in place and it goes to 60hz refresh rate, I have a 144hz monitor. Any ideas on how to fix I am on arch Linux. I have the 32 bit installed same as 64, i want to use it on csgo, cod4, and many other fps games but for now that’s about it any ideas. Also Linux performance is a little off. Can I use game mode and GameScope at the same time? Gamemode just lets my cpu hit 100% right, or is there more to it that I don’t understand?

Phasmophobia Audio issues on Mint

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. April 2025 - 17:52

I can talk on discord, on obs studio but I can't make the game detect the sound. I've tried with several mics but I'm not able to make it work in game. The game detects the microphones but not the sound that comes from them. I don't really know what to do. Tutorials and the forums I've checked doesn't give answers either.

question about lutris

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. April 2025 - 17:29

i have a huge question to anyone that sees this post as i'm kind of a noob in terms of linux (+4 months or so of usege) i've been trying to play games that i used to play on windows. steam games work fine through steam without any issues but games that aren't on there or heroic oh god. i've tried using lutris to play games that i love and played like crazy (tony hawk's american wasteland, thug 2, need for speed most wanted 2005. to name a few) but any time i tried to use lutris to install them, it would always just crash for no reason and give me an error code, i would try to trouble shoot it for a while, try again and it would just repeat that cycle for days to no avail. i can't install thaw with reTHAWed mod cause it would just crash at random, thug 2 would just crash on startup, and need for speed most wanted? HAH it would just crash before it even downloaded the files it needs. so here is my question. does anyone else has this happening on their PC. cause on mine it just refuses to cooperate. here are my pc specs in case they are needed:

OS: linux mint 22.1

cpu: intel core i3-3220

gpu: nvidia gtx 1050

ram: 8 GB

PS: i might try just emulating these games but it would really suck if i lost the online functionality of reTHAWed cause it's actually fun besides the fact that i won't be able to mod these games.
