I tried playing Steel Division 2 and Total War Warhammer 3. Warhammer 3 both with native and Proton in multiple versions. However, all just produced a black screen. Warhammer 3 also got a black screen with proton Experimental but I heard the intro play and my cursor changed eventually.
Steel Division 2 gave me a bug that included "adapter desc = AMD Radeon Graphics" which is what leads me to believe it is using the internal graphics card of my AMD Ryzen CPU.

Less demanding games like Fear and Hunger 2 and Darkest Dungeon work properly...

I have tried forcing steam to use the GPU via "__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only %command%" but that didn't do anything.

I feel like I failed to install something properly but cannot figure it out as I am completely new. System information also lists my graphics card as:

Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA vendor: Micro-Star MSI driver: N/A pcie: speed: 16 GT/s lanes: 8 bus-ID: 01:00.0 chip-ID: 10de:2d04 Device-2: AMD Raphael vendor: ASUSTeK driver: amdgpu v: kernel arch: RDNA-2 pcie: speed: 16 GT/s lanes: 16 ports: active: none empty: DP-1,HDMI-A-1,Writeback-1 bus-ID: 0c:00.0 chip-ID: 1002:164e temp: 39.0 CGraphics: Device-1: NVIDIA vendor: Micro-Star MSI driver: N/A pcie: speed: 16 GT/s lanes: 8 bus-ID: 01:00.0 chip-ID: 10de:2d04 Device-2: AMD Raphael vendor: ASUSTeK driver: amdgpu v: kernel arch: RDNA-2 pcie: speed: 16 GT/s lanes: 16 ports: active: none empty: DP-1,HDMI-A-1,Writeback-1 bus-ID: 0c:00.0 chip-ID: 1002:164e temp: 39.0 C

I would rly appreciate any help.

The first photo is with HDR off, the second is with HDR on. If you look at the sky, the colors blend in too much and overall the image is less bright. Is it a common side effect with HDR on Linux right now?

Hi sorry if this has been asked multiple times before, but is anyone able to still run the battlenet launcher and wow on Linux arch? I have been trying for 7 hours using bottles, lutris, heroic, steam and nothing seems to work unfortunately even though lots of people online are mentioning it works super smoothly for them? I am able to open the launcher on nearly all, but keep getting oops something went wrong + waking up agent errors and it's not able to load any game pages. The only thing which works consistently is the shop page in classic blizzard fashion. Any advice or input if it still works for anyone else would be very much appreciated :)!

Hey there!

I'm a complete Linux Noob. I installed Ubuntu 24.04 and made a system partition and a home partition. I also made one user for the administration (SUDOER) and a daily user (NONE SUDOER). After installing Steam and Heroic Games Launcher I tried do install games on my home partition and start them as daily user. This worked very fine on Steam. On Heroic, which I use for GOG, it was possible to install the games, but they didn't start. So I uninstalled them and installed them again as SUDOER user. This wasn't the solution as you can maybe tell ;)

Do I have to install the Heroic games on the system partition or do I have to give Heroic special rights to start the games? If yes, which steps do I have to take?

Please excuse my bad Englisch :)

System: Ryzen 2700X, AMD Radeon VEGA 64, 16 GB RAM

I have been suffering from extremely slow download speeds on steam Native or runtime on any distribution that I have noticed since about a year or two ago,I initially I believed it to be the way the kernel I have been using since on CachyOS was the cause,but the issue resolved itself momentarily once the team at cachyOS removed the particular patch they had for connection handling (cannot remember particulars) but the issue came back,I thought it might have been a HTTPS issue with steam ,so I had steam cfg and have scoured a plethora on threads with download issues on steam to little avail,with a gigabit connection in the UK ,on steam specifically,even if everything else behaved fine and used the full connection,steam itself would stay around 44-60MB/s out of a 110MB/s connection.

These are the things I've tried, tested and ruled out in my specific case and hardware + software configuration: My current specs are R9 9800x3D Asrock Rx 9070xt Steel Legend Asus Rog strix X670E-A (Gigabyte X670 gaming X ax v1 during the majority of these problems) 64GB Corsair 6400MT/s Cl32 2x990 PRO 4TB 1x SP XS70 4TB.

Keep in mind this problem never occured on W10/(yes on 11 because of gigabyte 's realtek ethernet driver ,my speeds were never fully achieved there on steam ,yes on everything else) on 11 with this setup I reach near max speed since I assume a combination of intel's ethernet chip and NTFS just doesn't hit the 990 pros as hard as BTRFS and Linux did.

To cut my terrible rambling short,it seems that because you cannot calibrate the block size on Samsung consumer SSDs (I've used the 980 pros 2tb And now these 990 pros) and is therefore stuck on 512B on BTRFS instead of being able to format said drive to 4K block size ,paired with CoW this causes steam to not be able to fully utilise the I/O at hand ,keep in mind that the Motherboards I've had have been able to drive all of these drives at their full speeds since there were enough pcie lanes available to do so. Before I got the 9070xt I upgraded to the Asus motherboard as the gigabyte one refused to boot and took longer and longer to mem train with each boot up,still ,once I switched ,today,to ext4 on the 990 pro 4TB and XS70 4TB ,the full download speed was able to be achieved.

Once again I deeply apologise for the incoherent ramble

Hi! As the title says, I'd like to play Star Wars battlerfont 2 (2017) but after some unsuccessful tries, I started steam from the CLI and started the game there. After some time I got the following output in the terminal which I think may be the reason why it's not able to start:

GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 19:15:31.039: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed Does anyone know how to fix that? I'm on NixOS (25.05, so latest stable version).

I'm wondering if this is Linux specific or game specific? Something that bugs me is how unstabe shadows seem to be. They move and kind of float/flow. Its helped with no upscaling but can still be seen in certain lighting. HDR on/off same results. I see this when looking out at bushes ect. Also seen on weapons. Anyone else? Playing on a 7900xt/7800x3d on Cachy os with Mesa 25.1

I’ve been thinking about getting the Hori Tac Commander (The final fantasy 14 one) but since I’ve switched to Linux outright I wanted to know how easy or hard it may be to map macros on it since it only lists windows compatible on the store page.

I am currently using Windows 11 and Ubuntu in parallel on 2 different SSDs, I just setup honker railway launcher today and it has been working smoothly. However, I have the root folder of HSR on another SSD that Hoyoplay on Windows 11 has installed. Can I change the Honker game folder path to the other SSD using the command on Honker's wiki page? I also want to ask this question for Genshin launcher because the SSD containing Genshin and HSR is faster than the SSD currently installed with Ubuntu

TLDR: Wyrd Waters is a 2-8 player online multiplayer fantasy naval game. We wanted to make a game where friends didn't get left out so we made it on Mac, Linux, Windows and SteamDeck! :D
It's mythological, tactical and quick/easy to pick up.

Our Demo just got released on Steam if you want to try a bite-size version! I'll link it below. And let us know if you find any bugs, it has been especially difficult to find Linux testers hahah.

Hi all,

A few weeks ago I decided to install Linux on another SSD and try dual booting. I have come to fall in love with the the Linux desktop but I have have spent countless hours testing different games with various versions of proton and I just can't make my mind up on whether or not the experience is better or worse than windows where gaming is concerned. After some initial tinkering I got a few games running really well, but there are some things I have noticed that seriously detract from my excitement. For example, Doom Eternal was running at a solid 165fps, but i started noticing some weird screen tearing or artifacts when moving around certain textures and I could not replicate these on windows. I also tried Sea of thieves and despite the in game fps counter telling me I was crushing the framerate, the game looked slightly choppy compared to the game running on windows. Are these just the hang-ups with nvidia drivers on linux right now or is this the type of compromise gamers make on linux in general? Would my experience be better with an AMD gpu? I plan to build a new system in the coming months and would love to make Linux my main operating system, but not if it means I'll have a generally worse experience gaming which is 90% of my use case.

For full transparency my setup is as follows:

Ryzen 7 3800x CPU

Nvidia EVGA 3080ti FTW 12gb GPU

16gb DDR4 RAM

Once again, I have tried a few titles that performed with zero issues which makes this all the more frustrating.

I'm rebuilding my pc and want to switch to linux. I mostly do gaming and video editing (via Davinci resolve). I have already put mint on a USB drive, since I like the interface and default tools etc, but I still have parts on order and want to know if any other distro would be more effective for video editing.

I use linux mint, on proton experimental. The gane crashes after hawaii 12th day during the ingame cutscene that plays. Nothing shows and the gane closes.

The game was fine up until that point on high settings without proton since i forgot to enable it.

Ive verified files, changed proton version but no difference.

Is this because if denurvo?

I plugged and olay, havent tinkered with any settings and just want to continue playing the game.
