Rocket League Crashes
Hello there. I'm fairly new with Linux. I played a couple of hours rocket league the last couple days but now it suddenly starts crashing all the time. I can maybe play one or two games until I see a black screen and nothing happens and I have to restart my PC.
My CPU and GPU are used like 20 % and 50 %, so there not overheating. I'm using Proton 9 on Steam.
Any recommendations or similar experiences?

👋 Trying to get into Online Gaming on Linux (Fedora + CS2/GTA Online Issues)
Hey r/linux_gaming, I hate windows with every cell in my body and I wanna get rid of it, I'm trying to get a serious discussion going about the state and future of online multiplayer gaming on Linux. I'm running Fedora and have hit a couple of walls, which I know are common, but I want to dive deep into the community's experience and thoughts. 1. The Immediate Problem: GTA Online and CS2 First, GTA Online. Is there any stable way to play it now? I know Rockstar tightened the anti-cheat a while back, kicking many Linux users out. Has anyone found a reliable workaround or is it a complete no-go until Rockstar changes their mind? Second, CS2. I installed the native client, and it was brutally laggy. I have updated drivers (as much as Fedora allows easily), and my hardware is decent, but the stuttering and low framerates made it unplayable. Is this a common issue with the native CS2 client on Fedora/Linux right now? Could this actually be a Proton issue, even if I was trying the native build? I know there are different performance paths (Vulkan/DXVK). Did I miss a necessary tweak or launch option to smooth things out? 2. The Big Questions: Anti-Cheat and the Future This brings me to the core discussion: What is the real future of online gaming on Linux? With kernel-level anti-cheat becoming the norm for big titles, is it always going to be a cat-and-mouse game or a complete blockade for popular AAA multiplayer games? Has Valve or anyone else been able to implement any fundamental anti-cheat "countermeasures" for Linux that make publishers more comfortable enabling support for Proton/Steam Deck? We hear about EAC and BattlEye being easy flips, but it still seems like a roll of the dice for any given game. Are we just going to be limited to games that use non-invasive anti-cheat, or does the Linux gaming market share need to hit a critical mass (e.g., 10\% on Steam) before publishers care? I'd love to hear your experiences, especially with other currently working (or non-working) online titles, and any thoughts on the bigger anti-cheat issue. Let's have a real talk about the sustainability of this. Drop your thoughts, tweaks, and existential gaming dread below! 👇

ARC Raiders Steam Deck Performance Tested: Proton GE 10-24
I have an NVIDIA GTX 750, which driver to use?
I have an NVIDIA GTX 750, and I'm considering switching to Mint from Nobara, because the driver manager keeps getting stuck, Nobara says that the power mode selection isn't supported, and I get bad performance either way.
Which driver version should I use on Mint? As far as I know(which isn't much) I will need proprietary drivers, because open drivers don't support my card. Please advise on the Proton Version I should use as well.
I wish to play the following games-
Momentum Mod Sifu ULTRAKILL Counter-Strike 1.6 Hades Darksiders 2
Thank you!

sunshine no mouse in some games
I use Sunshine to stream games from my Ubuntu workstation to my Apple Mac. It mostly works, but I can't use the mouse in Arcanum. This only happens in this game, Warcraft, C&C, Skyrim, Cyberpunk, all good.
The current workaround is to use an additional mouse that is plugged directly into the Linux workstation. But I would like to fix it.
Thanks for any ideas.

Error BLZBNTBNA00000005 - Current workaround
Hello,
if you use an up-to-date distribution, your BattleNet client should
be either crashing or showing error BLZBNTBNA00000005.
Seems so that lib32-libdrm since 2.4.126 is breaking something
and causing the error.
In the Wine/Proton-Log it can be identified with the message:
*** stack smashing detected ***: terminated
Current workaround is to downgrade to libdrm 2.2.125 or older.
For Arch based systems:
pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/lib32-libdrm/lib32-libdrm-2.4.125-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
On Freedesktops' Gitlab an issue had been already created,
please comment and upvote to get this bug faster fixed:

How to unfreeze Linux (ubuntu) screen, when gaming. Is there a equivalent of ctrl+alt+del like in windows
Hey guys,
I sometimes play dota 2 on my laptop and the game randomly freezes out of nowhere, when it happens I cannot use my keyboard nor mause, so restart my laptop. It's getting annoying, so i was wondering if there is a solution or a way to solve or prevent that. On windows that could have been fixed using ctrl alt del.
I'm using steam and just downloaded dota 2.
