Limo Mod Manager and Baldur's Gate 3

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Oktober 2025 - 23:26

Hi there!
I've been wanting to mod Baldur's Gate 3 outside of the in-game Mod Manager. I personally felt like a lot of the cosmetic mods I wanted are hosted on Nexus Mods and I wanted to give the Limo Mod Manager a try. I unfortunately feel like I'm having a bit of a difficult time understanding this, even with the tutorial that's provided on the Github wiki which seems to be mostly focused on Skyrim. I couldn't seem to find any video tutorials and the only posts I could find regarding this mod manager, is Skyrim-centric. The terminology seems to be confusing to me. Deployer, Staging directory, Hard link, Sym link, etc?

I was wondering if anyone else has used this mod manager to mod BG3 and how did they go about it? I know there's a BG3 Deployer in the Flatpak but I'm not sure how to go about it and I do feel admittedly stumped.

Thank you!

Doom 2016 fps cap vulkan fullscreen locked 144/72

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Oktober 2025 - 22:52

Was testing out Lossless Scaling on cachyos with doom 2016 on vulkan and wanted to compare without Lossless again but for some reason it stays either 144 or 72 FPS when full screen now (when putting doom into windowed mode I get 144+ fps) even though I removed lsfg-vk package and uninstalled it from steam is there a global vsync set for vulkan now somewhere I need to change?

openGL lets it go past 144fps in fullscreen

I have tried reinstalling the game and also an earlier snapshot still locked FPS

I am using a gtx 970

Steam runs then closes games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Oktober 2025 - 22:42

I'm trying to play No Man's Sky on Linux Mint, using Proton 9.0-4. The game will launch, act as if it's running, then close. running terminal while attempting this comes up with:

I assume it does similar things for other games that are not working.

Edit: I haven't checked every game, but it seems some games work (namely Death Road to Canada) but others have this problem.

searching the "wine: 'blah blah blah blah' is not owned by you" it seems the problem is that my drives are NTFS, since I switched from windows to a dual-boot linux. Is there any way to solve this that doesn't involve reformatting the drives to exFAT or some other filesystem? I have four hard drives full of games, and I really don't want to deal with the hassle of having to move everything off those drives, reformatting them, then moving everything back and hoping nothing broke in the meantime.

ARC Raiders and mouse cursor moving to second monitor (CachyOS and Gnome)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Oktober 2025 - 22:41

Hello, I've had this issue with this game in the server slam and now again at launch. The Finals from the same developers has this issue also

Things i have tried:

  • fullscreen instead of bordeless fullscreen = same issue

  • gamescope --force-grab-cursor %command% , game wont start with this. Am I doing something wrong?

It is quite annoying as it hops over to the other monitor even when no menu or map etc is open ingame, so any sudden mouse movement will cause this

Seriously considering switching desktop enviroments because of this, my guess this is an gnome issue since my friend with KDE does not have this

Thanks for any advice

Valve Games (Specifically CS2 and Dota 2) Constantly Disconnect on Arch

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Oktober 2025 - 21:21

I've been migrated to Linux for a few months now but there's this weird issue I can't isolate and it's driving me a bit insane.

Specifically for Source engine games I keep getting disconnected randomly during game play for seemingly no reason on Arch Linux. For CS2 this is typically halfway through a match or near the end. In Dota 2 it's usually at the start of the game and 1-2 times after in the middle. Can reconnect immediately though.

No obvious frame drops, no lag, no console messages indicating an issue, just a disconnect.

None of my other multiplayer games do this, and my Windows laptop does not have these issues either.

Is there anything obvious I should be looking for or a launch option I should be using for Valve games in specific?

Linux mint steam on a chromebook with an nceleron 33550

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Oktober 2025 - 21:16

in my testing I discovered that the best proton level to use on alot of my games is 8.0 or 9.0 (9.0 is better but 8.0 works too) the experimental, hotfix and glorious eggrol versions all do not work with these type of games, and I wanna ask is there something specific with versions before 10.0 that makes it work on a weak chromebook with a mobile apollo lake archetecture? and is there a custom proton variant that is linked to 9.0-4 that is even more optimal and hopefully more performant?

for reference I am also using linux mint 21.3 as that is the best version to use for this (more performant, loads faster and also more compatible with brightness and audio (after i get mrchrombox patch to get speakers working))

I am glad to announce HARD VOID officially enters Early Access!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Oktober 2025 - 20:24

It has been 1.5 years since I started this solo project, and at least one more year of development is expected.

Since the demo launch, I worked on the feedback to polish the most inner core gameplay features. In the Early Access, there is still a lot of content and some features to be implemented, Purchases will be considered a token of support for me to continue development. I will continue to deliver regularly, focusing on content.

The HARD VOID Early Access version start as a direct follow-up to the already present features and content in the Demo version. You can test and judge the demo to decide whether to try the Early Access. Most of the core gameplay for the early game is present.

HARD VOID is fully developed on Linux, from scratch with OpenGL and C language. Supports both Natively Linux and Windows.

I wish to thank everyone who supported me: the supportive words, playtesting, giving feedback, Wishlists, and by many other means!

popularity contest

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Oktober 2025 - 19:57

linux gaming is seemly gaining more and more traction over the last couple years with performance improvements and compatibility, but surely still has a while to go to be considered a widely adopted platform.

With that being the case, and all the stars align, linux somehow becomes a viable desktop solution for not only games but a generalized workspace. do you think the googles, microsofts, apples of the world would allow that to happen? sure the operating system itself is open source, and theres open source software always. but they will certainly as the global powers of this world find their way into your space to collect their data and push their agenda

Point being, many threads of 'I hate microsoft, move to linux' the popularity on linux would grow which is nice for more development opportunities, but will likely draw the attention of profit seeking corporations who will almost certainly find their way to monitize something which draws enough user base

Current state: Which GPU?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Oktober 2025 - 19:56

Hello

I know this question pops up often but I would like to collect opinions on which GPU to choose currently as I want to upgrade / rebuild my PC soon.

Currently in use: 6900XT. It works for me, can play what I want but it sucks at raytracing which is something I want my upgrade to support.

Usecase:

  • Gaming of course including AI upscale and Framegen
  • AV1 encodes
  • Interested in running local AI and maybe some pytorch / tensorflow developments here and there
  • I would like to get into VR. Got a Pico headset and game of choice would be beatsaber.

Because of the AI / ML part AMD actually is a problem. It's very cumbersome to get running and support is garbage. But then again it's Linux and my Nvidia experience on Linux has been very bad.

OS will be CachyOS with Plasma or maybe Hyprland but currently I use Plasma and will probably stick to it until Gnome has better wayland support. Dual monitors, but I don't think that matters anymore. Last time I had nvidia (30 series release) dual monitors has actually been a problem and caused stutters and lags on Plasma. That was horrible.

Budget is there up to RTX 5080. And upgrade to 9070XT would at least give me an AV1 encoder but I guess AI/ML would still stuck.

What are your opinions?

How to run Assetto Corso on Ubuntu because it won't start at all

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Oktober 2025 - 19:47

I've already tried deleting the prefix, I've tried everything, but it still won't start. When I press the 'play' button, it kind of loads, but after a few seconds the 'play' button appears again and nothing starts. If anyone has encountered such an error and solved it, please help me, I'd be very grateful.

Switched to team red, 9070xt Windows vs Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Oktober 2025 - 19:20

I’ve been running CachyOS on my none gaming systems for about a year now.

I switched from a RTX 3070 to a 9070xt and I’d like to make the switch over to CachyOS on my gaming rig.

Has RDNA4 performance improved since launch on Linux drivers? Am I giving up performance if I make the jump. Will Linux catch up to windows like it did on older AMD cards?

Cheers
