Ghost of Tsushima steam login issue-CACHYOS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Mai 2026 - 21:47

Hey everyone,

I am on cachyos, and had been playing ghost of tsushima on steam for awhile on my desktop without any issues whatsoever.

Then over two weeks ago I did an update of the system and now when I open the game, it goes through its little animation, everything works fine until it gets to the screen with a sword on a field and the buttons for logging in should pop up but instead it freezes.

I have done two system updates more since then, as well as tried multiple different proton versions..GE, built in cachyos one, experimental, DW.

I tried a few launcher ideas that I saw online for similar issues...nada. I am stuck.

I do not understand what is causing this. A lot of similar issues online say it is due to the nvidia driver, but all my other games are working just fine and its not like the game does not start up, it just gets stuck at the login.

Really frustrating. I am not a techie person, and am always uncomfortable with diving too deep into this in case I break something by accident.

Does anyone have any ideas or had a similar issue with this game since the new 595.71.05 driver came out?

thanks in advance.

Can't get Stick of Truth to run on Linux.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Mai 2026 - 21:36

I am trying to go full time on Linux and end my dependence on Windows for gaming. Since I don't play online, I figure that would be much easier.

At the moment, I wanna play Stick of Truth. I looked it up and I keep seeing that it works out of the box.

Input issue

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Mai 2026 - 21:03

So I was playing Detroit become human with no issue but the A button stopped working from my 8bitdo ultimate 2 and kde remote desktop asked for input device premission. I granted it and it still doesn't work. Any fix? I'm on latest cachyos version. There are no logs. Its just that the A button doesn't work. The game works fine with proton and it worked fine yesterday.

Mods please don't remove this and if you do please don't ban me

Discord rich presence

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Mai 2026 - 21:01

For most of the games i play, they dont show the proper game on discord, for example, for silksong it shows Hollowknight Silksong with no game icon on discord, or tf2_linux64 for tf2, it also keeps showing some random game called battlebit remastered. Is there a fix for this? I downloaded steam and discord from the actual website

Colorful Artifacts in Forza Horizon 5

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Mai 2026 - 19:47

Every couple of hours in Forza Horizon 5 I get this kind of visual artifacting. When it happens, FPS tanks heavily first. Sometimes it recovers on its own (like in the video), other times the game crashes with this log:

OCCT and FurMark both run fine for hours without errors, and other games don’t show this issue at all. It really seems isolated to Forza.

I’m running an RX 7600 with Proton Experimental (bleeding-edge), kernel 7.0.3-arch1-2, and Mesa 26.0.6-1.

Any help would be appreciated.

Crashing in some UE5 games on CachyOS w/ RTX 5080 (DX12 seems to be a culprit)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Mai 2026 - 18:03

EDIT: Thanks to u/hairymoot as this set of launch options they've provided works

VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_EXT_mesh_shader,VK_NV_raw_access_chains %command%

ORIGINAL POST:

I'm currently running an RTX 5080 on the latest stable release of CachyOS with the 595.71.05 drivers and have observed a couple of UE5 games that seem to be crashing

The two I've seen this with so far are:

  • Nuclear Nightmare
  • '83

This is the crash I get:

https://preview.redd.it/scnd248lrxzg1.png?width=705&format=png&auto=webp&s=af35fbe8b7d695e2143be6ca733f20412d31b028

I've tried both experimental, cachy, GE etc and that doesn't seem to get around this problem. In either instance, it appears downgrading to proton 8.0-5 or proton 7.0-6 does launch the games, but then you can't connect to other servers

https://preview.redd.it/b106inc4rxzg1.png?width=1582&format=png&auto=webp&s=32a7f52a777e83a977323cec83cb9f5e63a19975

What I've been able to glean off ProtonDB is this is down to recent nvidia drivers not playing nicely with dx12 (sounds like they never did to begin with)

Setting launch options to '-dx11' does allow me to launch Nuclear Nightmare, but '83 is a game that supports neither dx11 or vulkan

Before people laugh me out the door, I was originally gaming with an RX 9060 build, but a family member's ex walked out on them and the PC the family bought for said ex (which has a 9800X3D / RTX 5080 w/ 5yr warranty) was offered to me as a freebie.

Previously '83 would launch without issues on the 9060 (AMD) so I have to assume is this is an issue with Nvidia specifically. Does anyone know any way around this or am I just waiting for future driver releases to hopefully iron this out?

Problem with Arma Reforger

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Mai 2026 - 17:23

There is this weird thing happening only in Arma Reforger. All other games, no matter settings, work just fine on my Bazzite OS. I've recently played Cyberpunk and RD2 on high.

What happens in Arma is this weird black triangle on my screen that never dissapears. I've tried to change all the settings but it just makes things worse.

I insert screenshots of my settings and specs, if anything's missing please just ask, I really need help with this one!
