I have hit first road block

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11. September 2025 - 17:24

It has been few good months of Linux gaming since I switched from windows. I have two gaming PCs (Fedora and Bazzite) and Steam Deck and everything just worked. Up until now...

I took out my Fanatec wheel form the closed just to find there is no driver support for that wheel...

Well there is a third party kernel driver but you need to compile it yourself. I could probably make it work on Fedora, but not Bazzite.

I would not consider going back to windows, more likely switch to a wheel that has Linux support. But I don't think there is any except Logitech which is not comparable to Fanatec.

Considering switching to Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11. September 2025 - 16:14

Hey everyone,

I’m considering switching from Windows to Linux. I just upgraded my GPU to an 9070XT and have a Ryzen 5700X3D, and after reinstalling Windows I’m really annoyed with all the bloat. So I’m tempted to make the jump. Does anyone here have a similar setup (9070 XT + 5700X3D) playing at 1440p under Linux that can tell me what kind of avg FPS are you getting in CS2?

Also, which distro is good for gaming? CachyOs? Bazzite? Does it even matter?

Thanks!

Failing to inject FSR4 into Hitman WOA

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11. September 2025 - 16:09

Hi, I need help with injecting fsr4 into Hitman World of Assasination. I've installed optiscaler, but I can only get fsr 3 to load. Here are the specifications:
OS: Bazzite 42 with KDE Plasma 6
Optiscaler version: 0.7.9.7
Mesa version: 25.2.1
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT
Proton version: Proton CachyOS 10.0 20250906-slr
Game: Hitman World of Assassination
Platform: Epic Games, installed via Heroic Launcher

The game uses dx12, so it's puzzling why I can only see fsr 3.1.5. I have enabled fsr4update option in the optiscaler.ini file, but that doesn't seem to work either. I've tried with other games, and they seem to work, only this one doesn't. Any help would be appreciated.

Is there a financial reason why game companies can't just isolate Linux from Windows during online play?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11. September 2025 - 16:01

Just had this thought a while back.

These companies seem convinced that allowing their anti-cheat software access to the kernel will reduce or at the very least increase the cost of entry for anyone who is looking to engage in cheating.

Before cross-play became a thing (and I'm assuming it still is for most newer titles) you either played online with other console gamers or Windows and the two sides would never cross paths.

Why not just take the same approach when it comes to Linux?

Meu jogo não abre de jeito nenhum na steam

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11. September 2025 - 16:00

Salve galera, bom dia! Desde que troquei pra linux to tentando jogar Hades pela steam, mas não consigo de jeito nenhum. Já tentei usar diversas versões do proton (experimental, hotfix, protonGE, etc..), e nada. TIpo, ele executa o jogo, o botão verde de "play" some e aparece "stop" azul, só que não carrega nenhuma janela e o botão verde simplesmente volta. Outra coisa, estou usando o linux mint xfce. Se alguém souber alguma possível solução, agradeço muito se compartilhar. Outra coisa também, eu tentei abrir o jogo pelo Heroic Launcher, usando o próprio executável do Hades baixado na Steam, e abriu! Só que lá eu não consigo ter acesso ao meu save na nuvem e acredito que nem ás conquistas.

Quick thoughts on current state nVidia GPUs on Linux.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11. September 2025 - 15:17

For the first time since getting my 5090 on launch day, I was able to get it, a 4090 and all five monitors working with HDR and VRR enabled pretty much out of the box with Cachy. So that is a much better situation than in Q1 2025.

Only about 4 fours Linux game testing, but everything works in the games I tried thus far except HDR, hadn't really played with that in games yet. The games run well. But it is a little painful to see the performance hit. But then not.

Stellar Blade was the game I tested most as I also want to try mods with that game as they are simply just adding files and even that worked. Even performance was great like around 300 FPS with max 4k settings, 4x MFG. But the same settings on the same hardware Windows, 400 FPS.

I think this is one reason why nVidia on Linux can be a contentious issue. nVidia can be fine on Linux and get better performance than any AMD part at the high-end more demanding scenarios with RT and use of frame gen. But then you consistently take a performance hit relative to Windows.

TL;DR: nVidia is fine enough on Linux where you can get better performance and even features than AMD at the high-end. But then you take than same hardware and get even more performance with Windows.
