For all those who swore off windows like they harmed your family, what’s the plan for playing GTA VI? It will likely not perform well on Linux at release or not probably not work at all. With the largest release of a gaming title in history, do you just play on console, or just not play it at all?

I am very aware of Limo, And do use it for light modding applications, but I really enjoy some of the more in-depth collections on The Nexus.

I know I could just get Vortex working, and I am trying to, but it does not launch on my system under wine, and that is the only way I can get it to function properly

I tried running a pirated copy of Rain World on lutris, and while i worked perfect. It didn't have access to my saves. The copy of Rain World is stored in my Windows drive, and the saved are stored in Appdata -> Locallow. I tried another game (ULTRAKILL) in which the save files are stored in the same place as the .exe, and it picked up the saves. I tried moving the Rain World save folder into the game directory aswell, it still didn't pick it up. What do i do? I assume Lutris will store save files somewhere else, where is it saved then?

SOLUTION: Use launch options env PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command% and force compatibility with GE-Proton-10.10 together at the same time.

---------

Gentoo linux
nvidia-drm modset = 1 is set
Samsung S95b screen, 1050 NITs peak brightness, HDR gaming mode with calibrated settings
Nvidia 3080
nvidia-drivers-575
mesa-25.1
wayland-1.24
KDE-6.3, HDR enabled in display settings
gamescope-3.16

Launching game in steam with DXVK_HDR=1 %command% launch options enables setting HDR in-game.

Setting HDR10 PQ results in an extremely washed out appearance. Light colors do not blow out and retain detail, but blacks are extremely elevated and color saturation is extremely low. C2077 HDR settings alter the appearance somewhat, but cannot change extreme color distortion.

Setting HDR10 scRGB clearly has the game displaying in the HDR gamut, but with extreme blow-out and black crush. in C2077 HDR settings, selecting tone-mapping midpoint of 1.5 results in a daylight image that is mostly solid blown-out whites even when selecting only 300 NITS of peak brightness, which is the lowest selectable option. If the tone-mapping midpoint is lowered to about 0.5 to avoid most of the blow-out, the night image is mostly crushed solid blacks. The distortion is extreme.

No change in behavior across using Proton Experimental, Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge, and GE-Proton 10.10, or any number of different launch options I came across.

Gamescope is not operable on my system no matter what options I try. Simple CLI execution of gamescope glxgears has the following output:

Flags such as "--expose-wayland" and many others I found do not change the behavior. Bizarrely, XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 gamescope -- glxgears run as root does work and generates a window with 3D gears, however Steam refuses to allow itself to be run as root.

No amount of searching online has resulted in any successful workaround or resolution. Just about at wit's end here trying to get this working.

Has anyone been able to get SpecialK working on Linux?

I've followed various tutorials, but the game just crashes with each one of them.
The last real guide almost 4 years old by now.

Hello, I just downloaded GDlauncher to play Minecraft, however for some reason when I play on certain versions of Minecraft. The audio just decides not to work unless I specifically click the

"device: Jack/system default" button inside of the music/sound settings in Minecraft, That is literary the only time I hear audio. I am completely and utterly lost.

I have checked my audio inputs, I made sure Minecraft wasn't muted. However I did notice that when i put echo drivers=pulse > ~/.alsoftrc into the wrapper command in the launcher, It doesn't work maybe im missing alsa/openal files? If you guys think that is the case could you give me a guide on how to do that? someone please help I just wanna play Minecraft :(

Hey everyone! I switched to Linux (Manjaro) a few weeks ago and most games run great or even better than on Windows, but I'm having a persistent issue with one specific game: The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.

I couldn't find much helpful info on ProtonDB, so I'm hoping someone here has dealt with this before.

The Problem:

• Isaac dropped native Linux support for Repentance and Repentance+
• Running through Proton, I only get audio with a black/glitched screen (can see whatever's behind the window)
• Weirdly inconsistent - sometimes it works perfectly, sometimes it doesn't. Yesterday evening it worked flawlessly for some reason, but after a reboot it's broken again.
• When it does work, it's running under Proton 9.0-4

System Specs:

• OS: Manjaro Linux x86_64 (Linux 6.12.39-1-MANJARO)
• DE: Xfce4 4.20
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (proprietary driver 575.64.03)
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (16 cores) @ 3.70 GHz

What I've Tried:

• Launch options: PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1%command%
• Complete game reinstall
• Various Proton versions

The Frustrating Part:
The inconsistency is driving me crazy - sometimes it launches perfectly and runs flawlessly, other times it's completely broken. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to when it works vs when it doesn't.
Just as I was about to generate a log file to share here, it miraculously started working again!

Has anyone else experienced this with Isaac Repentance on Linux? Any suggestions for launch options, Proton settings, or NVIDIA-specific fixes would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I’m using Nobara OS with KDE Plasma and Wayland. I have two monitors and an AMD GPU as well as an AMD CPU.

The problem is: whenever my PC goes into standby and I wake it up again, one of the monitors stops working and shows “No Input.” If I unplug the monitor’s cable and plug it back in, everything works perfectly again.

Do you think you could help me figure this out? Thanks a lot!

Welcome. I'm gonna reinstall Arch Linux in a few days, hoping to use a window manager such as Hyprland this time, and I wanna know what I should do to increase my PC's performance in 2025. I will list my PC specs below, but I don't want this to be specific to me. What are any tips I should implement or tweaks I should make to improve my performance; anything, I'm talking kernel versions, kernel parameters, if I should still use X11 with my Nvidia GPU or if Wayland is caught up yet for performance, if certain desktop environments or window managers are better for performance, what Proton version should I use, anything you can think of, there is no "common knowledge" when you're as dumb as I am.

PC specs:
- CPU: Intel i9-12900K
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
- RAM: 32GB DDR5/6000MHz
- Motherboard: MSI PRO Z690-A WiFi

Thanks everyone.

What I'm trying to play:

• tModLoader 1.4 with:
  
  • DragonLens v1.10
    
  • Absolute Aquarian v1.0.6.1
    
  • Magic Storage v0.7.0.8
    
  • Wing Slot Extra v1.4.5
    
  • Boss Checklist v2.2.3.1
    
  • Recipe Browser v0.10.10.1
    
  • Fargo's Mutant v3.3.6.2
    
  • Fargo's Souls v1.7.2.14
    
  • Luminance v1.0.12
    
  • AlchemistNPC v1.9.8
    
  • Pylons Prevent Evils v1.9.1
    
  • Ore Excavator v0.8.9
    
  • ArmamentDisplay v1.20.1
• multiplayer with friends

What's wrong:

• game runs slowly
• character is visibly slower and other players see me as teleporting/rubber banding)
• ~45 fps around built up stuff, ~60 on new worlds
• 70% CPU utilization (built in tools)
• 30% CPU utilization (as shown by MangoHUD)

- PC randomly crashes/freezes, background processes still work but keyboard/mouse don't work What I've tried with the game:

• running on windows (before I switched to ubuntu 24 LTS) and it ran perfectly on 100+ fps
• running on proton (made it worse)
• running on wine (same as native)
• new singleplayer world with mods (works almost okay)
• new multiplayer world (dedicated host) with mods (works almost okay)
• vanilla terraria SP & MP - works okay
• tModLoader without mods - works okay
• going away from a built up area in our world (works better but still not okay)
• hosting on my PC, hosting on friends PC (host and play but local connect)
• hosting on dedicated server
• hosting through steam (doesn't even give an option to join a server)

What I've tried with the PC/OS

• updating drivers (built in tools, manually and apt)
• switching from snap to native (steam, terraria and tmodloader, I did wipe all remaining snap files for steam)
• downloading .NET from microsoft
• ubuntu gamemode
• switching between power saving and performance modes

Relevant PC specs:

• HP ProBook 450 G8
• Intel Core i5-1135G7
• 8GB DDR4 ram

Other thoughts:

• From what I can see, I tried basically everything over the course of 2-3 weeks so high chance I forgot to mention some stuff here aswell
• Plz help :,)

So when i connect this it shows connected and works for some time, in kde plasma game controller settings menu, under system settings.

Bit it stops workings as soon as i press any button (when i move joystick it stays connected and the tracker on screen detects it's movement, sometime it's detects key pressed to) red and green both led starts to blink.

Is there any way i can use this? Someone gave it me. I'm on arch btw if that's needed.

Hey guys. I can get TruckersMP OR truckbooks to run with Euro Truck Sim 2 but not both at the same time.

This is the command i use on steam launch options

"/home/deck/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton10-10/" waitforexitandrun "/home/deck/Faugus/tbsetup/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/TrucksBook Client/TB Client.exe" ; echo %command% For turckbooks.

For TMP i simply just put the TruckersMP location when the TB is

My question is, what command would i use to open both TMP and Trucksbooks?

Thanks so much in advance

EDIT:VI am using a steamdeck and have installed both EXE's with Faugus.
