Hello,

Testing out Zorin OS 18.1 (wayland) and since I have a 4k monitor, I had to set the scale to 200% which is too big for my liking.

So I enabled Fractional Scaling and set it to 150% and everything looks perfect.

I installed Steam + Dota 2 (native). Upon launching the steam client, I can already tell that it is not crisp and looks off. Opening Dota 2 confirms it, I can only set it 1440p instead of the native 4k resolution of my monitor. No option for me to choose 4k.

So I tried to disable the Fractional Scaling. Set the scale to 200%. Reopened Steam and Dota 2 and now it works at 4k. So I can confirm that Fractional Scaling is the culprit as to why I can't run Dota 2 on 4k.

I really like to enable Fractional Scaling and setting it up as 150%. I'm a very casual gamer and I only play a few games of Dota a day. It would be great not to jump into hoops to disable Fractional scaling to play the game, then enable it again right after.

Is there an easy way to force steam or Dota 2 not to use or bypass Fractional Scaling? Or maybe force the game to run at 4k instead?

Thanks!

I was gonna show a game I like to some friends but my frame rate was abysmal. I tried using both proton experimental and proton hotfix but they nothing and actually made the frames worse. One of my friends thinks it could be an issue with my graphics cards (I have Nvidia) but besides that, is there anything else that could be causing it? Thanks

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to use lsfg-vk on my void installation to play arc raiders on steam with frame generation.

At the moment I'm using the linux kernel 7.0, mesa 26.0.6 and lsfg-vk 2.0.0-dev26.

Following the troubleshooting guide of lsfg-vk, I tried to run the command

vulkaninfo | grep -i VK_LAYER_LSFGVK_frame_generation

And got this output:

ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : loader_create_instance_chain: Failed to find 'vkGetInstanceProcAddr' in layer "/home/sampaio/.local/share/vulkan/implicit_layer.d/../../../lib/liblsfg-vk-layer.so"

WARNING: radv is not a conformant Vulkan implementation, testing use only.

VK_LAYER_LSFGVK_frame_generation (Lossless Scaling frame generation layer) Vulkan version 1.4.328, layer version 2:

Also, lauching the game with the variable

VK_LOADER_DEBUG=layer

on, won't get me any lines mentioning

VK_LAYER_LSFGVK_frame_generation

Any tips?

Thank you!

I use the WM Sway, and when opening a game with gamescope with the -f command my wm crashes entirely. This does not happen if I open it windowed and then fullscreen with sway's key bind. I don't understand why this happen and leads to some latency issues caused by gamescope due to me playing on windowed. Any ideas?

I’ve never seen a game simply not allow you to download it on Linux and use proton for compatibility. Anyone know why it does this?

Hey all,

Fairly new to Linux, been using Bazzite for about 3 weeks. Also have a steam deck, so semi famil with STEAMOS.

Just curious which distro is gonna work best for me?

Bazzite has been good, and I like the app store etc but I've been trying to install STALKER GAMMA & EFP and I'm just struggling as things like Lutris are baked into the actual build of Bazzite, so trying to manually do it through flatpack is impossible (for me anyway)

When googling I just get hit with 1 - 2yr old reddit posts.

I've got a 3080ti atm but will be installing my 9070xt within the next week or so. Unsure if this helps with consid as I have thought about going to steam os on my desktop.

Tia

Playing CS2 on Linux and having a really annoying issue. Whenever I try to look around or aim, my crosshair feels like it's being pulled or dragged back, as if something is constantly resisting my mouse movement. It's not a sensitivity issue it literally feels like a second input is fighting against my mouse.

Has anyone dealt with this on Linux(ubuntu)?

Like PikaOS is basically the Debian equivalent of Fedora's Nobara distro kinda simliar to how CachyOS is basically the Arch equivalent of Nobara.

Anyways this is easily my favorite debian distro

it ships with Kde Plasma by default just as i like and it's gaming focused + a whole lot of other things i like

Hello people, hope you doing great!

Came here to show you the early stages of my project, and get some feedback.

StellarHub is a game launcher, inspired on Playnite (One of the few tools I really miss from using in Windows).

The idea is to have a central launcher with all your games, and most importantly, a Fullscreen Mode to use with a gamepad.

It uses UMU Launcher to launch Proton Games.

It's built with Electron.js, using HTML Components to build the interface.

The future plan is to support themes by adding HTML, CSS, and TS files that override these components, giving a lot of flexibility to the visual aspect.

Current Features:

• Add Manual Games (This uses UMU-Launcher, similar to Faugus Launcher)
• AutoScan Proton Versions
• Add ROMs folders to Scan (Select a folder and an emulator, and the launcher adds all the games for you)
• SteamGridDB integration.

Coming Features

• Steam Library Scan (Automatically get your installed Steam games)
• Edit Game Menu
• Blacklist Games or ROMs
• Game Data Fetcher (Developer, Publisher, Release Year, etc.)
• Filter and Group Library by Game Categories

Far Coming Features

• Steam API integration (To get your purchased but not installed games, and launch the installer from the launcher)
• RetroAchievements API (To show achievements for your emulated games)
• SGDB Menu (To select the images you want instead of auto-selected ones like it is now)
• HowLongToBeat API (Show and submit game times)

Far Coming Features (Are they really coming?)

• GOG Integration
• Epic Games Launcher Integration

Plus a lot of visual improvements:

• Show indicators when the app is doing stuff in the background (Like downloading images for scanned ROMs)
• Alerts and Toasts
• Dialog when launching a game
• Improve the general Fullscreen Layout
• And other stuff I'm surely forgetting

What do you think?
Would you use it?
What would you like to see in the launcher?
What don't you like about what's available now?

Thanks everyone!

Ok, iv ran into an issue and I'm not sure why FSR4 is not showing up in Cyberpunk. Its always worked just fine in the past. I'm using a 9070xt in CachyOS, using protonCachyos.

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" PROTON_FSR4_ENABLE=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 LD_PRELOAD="" game-performance %command%

Is anyone else experiencing this? Or can anyone see anything wrong in what I'm doing? Haven't played the game in a while. I really don't want to play in FSR3. Could RenoDX be interfering somehow?

You can get it here A Gaming Distro I made GötünOS (YourAssOS).

https://github.com/rryxxa77-sudo/GotunOS

(Also it is kinda a distro, it is actually a app that is meant to run after a fresh endeavourOS install.)

The Source Code is now avaible on the repo and releases. Sorry about previous post. I suck at git. I forget to remove target and needed to post on google drive because it isn't fitting). It is now avaible at github.

EDIT: I am fairly certain that the Issue comes from the harddrive that im using being a NTFS drive that was previously used on Win10 as my steam library drive as the 2 games that do work without issue are games that are installed on the ext4 bootdrive while all the games that are not working are on the massstoragedrive. im not sure how to fix this issue but i would prefer not to wipe almost 2 Terabytes of Data.

So something weird happened. I recently spun up a fresh install of endeavour OS on my Main Gaming machine having used it before on both by Desktop and Laptop and i ran into an issue i havent encounterd before. Im at a bit of a loss and hope someone here has a solution for this.

ISSUE DESCRIPTION: When trying to launch a game it simply says launching then shows it as running and then goes back to the play button (as seen in the Video) this doesnt seem to happen in every game for some reason.

STEPS TAKEN: I have Tried both the Flatpack and the arch multilib version and the same Issue persists.

I also used multiple Proton version (chosen thru the steam library -> [game] -> properties -> Compatibility) which did nothing to combat the Problem.

Games Tested:

• Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel (working)
• Counter Strike 2 (working)
• Red Dead Redemption 2 (NOT working)
• Star Wars the Old Republic (NOT working)
• Arma Reforger (NOT working)
• Battlebit Remasterd (NOT working)
• Ready or Not (NOT working)
• S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 (NOT working)

• Age of Empires 2 DE (NOT working)

I'm on Linux Mint, and Arc Raiders crashes every time I'm loading into a level IF I switch focus from the app. (For example if I try to browse the web while waiting for my game to load in.)

I realise a "fix" to this is just not to alt+tab away, but I was curious if anyone else was experiencing the same, and had found a fix.

This isn't actually a full distro. Instead this is a GUI Installer that is meant to run after a fresh install of EndeavourOS Linux.

Would be happy to learn about your experience!!

I’ve been running Minecraft from Prism Launcher on my Bazzite machine for a couple years now and I haven’t run into any problems. Recently, I updated my machine, which included an update to GNOME 50, and started running into an annoying bug in-game.

When I’m in a menu that returns control of the mouse (like the inventory, chat, or pausing the game), if I exit from that screen while moving the mouse, it snaps my character’s view across the screen.

The problem seems to be that when the game regains control of my mouse and tries to move/lock the cursor to the center of the screen, the game registers that as mouse movement and snaps my character’s head to where my cursor was prior to being moved back to the middle.

The problem persists whether I’m on vanilla or using mods, whether I’m fullscreen or windowed, and affects the latest release, previous release, and latest snapshots. I never had this happen while on GNOME 49 or earlier, so I suspect it’s something to do with the changes made in GNOME 50, maybe a problem with the removal of X11?

Any help or even just speculation would be greatly appreciated!

This was fixed when I forced the use of a specific comparability tool, even when I chose the same as what I'd set as default (Proton 9).

This only occurred with Schedule I, all other 265 games in my library were launchable as usual.

I don't see why the "Available For ..." UI would have even been added unless allowing developers to block Linux is being considered as a feature.

Sorry if the title is alarmist, I guess this could just be a bug, and this could be the UI from when Steam Play hasn't been enabled for all titles (I can't find any screenshots of that).

Hi, new to Linux, not to gaming. I used this very same laptop (a Dell Inspiron 3521, 6gb DDR3L RAM with a 500gb 2.5 SATA WD Blue HDD, running on an Intel© Core™ i3-3227U CPU @ 1.90GHz × 2. yes, it's not great, but it's mine.) not too long ago on Windows 10 to play MSC, and it ran perfectly fine (as well as 6gb ram can be, at least). But, now having switched to Linux Mint MATE-64bit vers. 22.3.

Can't remember the exact fps/performance MSC (and presumably MWC, never got around to it) had on Windows, but it was far better. I'm not having these issues with my other games (i.e. Project Zomboid, worked out the box on Linux at 40-60fps somehow, when it would freeze on Windows when I tried to play.) I can't imagine it's a hardware issue, given it was working on Windows.

Important info;

• I am using launch options "PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1" and "WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b""
• I am on Proton 4.11-13
• I have tried Proton Experimental, Proton Hotfix, and a few others. Only 4.11-13 and (I believe 3.7-8 or 3.16-9) have been able to boot the actual game, rather than just the launcher (or even just merely an error message.)4

I hope the more experienced Linux users can help. I'll provide further info if needed.

Hey yall,

I am trying to play Path to Empress. Every time I start the game the screen freezes unless i click on another screen like Obs or the terminal then it runs fine. It I try to select an option on the game again it freezes. Has anyone else experienced this? how did you solve this issue?

Im using Linux Mint and my computer is a ROG Zephyus G14 2021.

In the steam options Ive used:

__GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0 __GL_GSYNC_ALLOWED=0.

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1

__GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0 PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1

-windowed -noborder

In the terminal I used:

__GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE=DFP-0

gsettings set org.cinnamon.muffin unredirect-fullscreen-windows true

Thanks!!
