Issues with AVMATRIX Driver on newer Kernels

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Dezember 2025 - 17:29

Hey all,

I am a bit of a noob when it comes to troubleshooting on Linux. I have an AVMATRIX VC12 4K capture card and it has been working beautifully on Linux for months now using this driver. However, after kernel version 6.17.8 and any newer kernel version the driver will still run and I can pull audio using OBS, but the device no longer shows up as an option when trying to pull video from it in OBS.

I'm not necessarily needing someone to hold my hand, just looking for ways to troubleshoot this issue so I can assist with getting this driver working again.

Thanks!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Dezember 2025 - 17:09

I tried to connect my wii controller + nunchuk to steam on my pc running pop os, it is seen as a ximput and the only key that works is the home key, and when pressed it opens the steam big picture mode, is there a way to make it work properly?

Multi-player games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Dezember 2025 - 17:03

Hi everyone, so I'm not technically new to Linux gaming, as I've been gaming recent titles (mostly single player) on my system. Now I know multi-player games are run different than single player games due kernel level anti cheat, but I've seen some posts that some are supported, so I was really curious about these 3 titles if they are supported, and if so, how has your experience been? I really miss those days where I would pop up an online shooter with my friends, so I'm trying to get back with Hunt showdown, arc raiders, and the finals. I've heard arc raiders and the finals are supported (for the moment) but I haven't seen too much about hunt showdown (which is the one I'm more interested in purchasing). Arc and hunt are on sale, that's why I'm really eager to buy anyone of those two but I want to stick with one, and probably the one which is more stable per se.

Fedora 43 MangoHUD not working with 32bit games, fix.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Dezember 2025 - 15:39
sudo dnf install mangohud.i686

This should fix that.

The only other alternative is using cope, but performance is worse and it's not ideal.

Cyberpunk 2077 hard freezes on CachyOS (AMD RDNA3, Proton) – virtual_setup_exception nested exception on signal stack

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Dezember 2025 - 14:31

Hi, I’m having serious stability issues with Cyberpunk 2077 on Linux and I’m running out of ideas and need help! I'm experiencing consistent crashes/freezes. The game always launches, runs smoothly, but no Proton version is stable. Crashes happen randomly during gameplay, often after 2-30 minutes. Usually after like 5 minutes. Running the game with PROTON_LOG=1 produces the exact same error in every proton version.

Proton versions tested:

  • Proton-CachyOS 10.0-20251126 (steam linux runtime):
  • Proton Experimental
  • GE-Proton10-27: game ran the longest (~1 h), but crash here soft-locked the system (could alt+tab but nothing would launch, not even a terminal window), requiring a hard reset. Previous Protons allowed killing the process normally.

Proton GE:

err:virtual:virtual_setup_exception nested exception on signal stack addr 0x7f3a518b2e60 stack 0x7ffcce50

Proton Experimental:

err:virtual:virtual_setup_exception nested exception on signal stack addr 0x7ff6178b2e60 stack 0x7ffcce50

Notably, the address is always identical, suggesting a deterministic memory allocation issue.

Specs:
Kernel: Linux 6.18.2-3-cachyos
KDE Plasma 6.5.4
WM: KWin (Wayland)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F (12) @ 5.08 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB [Discrete]
RAM: 32GB

Happens in:

  • Missions (e.g. Heist, Braindance)
  • Menus (skills/perks)
  • Sometimes after only 2–5 minutes, sometimes works up to ~1h if little happens on-screen

Things that I've already tested (all with cache clean + verify files):

  • Ray Tracing OFF / ON
  • FSR 3 / 4
  • With / without gamescope
  • With / without mangohud
  • FPS limit only in-game (monitor 200 Hz)
  • vm.max_map_count increased to 2147483642

Crashes occur in all configurations. Flags seem irrelevant. Ray Tracing may speed up the crash.

Game is opened through Steam, Launch commands tested:

Raw:

%command% --launcher-skip --intro-skip

Gamescope:

mangohud DXVK_ASYNC=1 VKD3D_ASYNC=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 \

PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_ADD_CONFIG=fsr4rdna4 \

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winmm,version=n,b" RADV_PERFTEST=nggc \

gamescope -f -w 2560 -h 1440 -r 200 --force-grab-cursor -- \

%command% --launcher-skip --intro-skip -skipStartScreen

Without gamescope (last crash on proton GE):

VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 \

PROTON_LOG=1 PROTON_ADD_CONFIG=fsr4rdna4 mangohud \

%command% --launcher-skip --intro-skip

Last 100 lines of the PROTON LOG:
Proton LOG

Having trouble installing Reshade & ps2 controllers in Clair Obscure.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Dezember 2025 - 14:23

I'm following this guide

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNvfgYSmwwc

But reshade doesn't show up.

I tried putting a PS2 controller in the game, but it doesn't seem to recognize it. But on steam's big picture, it can recognize the controller.

Tekken 8, can't connect to the server

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Dezember 2025 - 14:22

I'm on popOS, i have an asus a15 (nvidia 4060), don't know if its relevant.
i've tried proton experimental, hotfix, 8-0-5 and 7-0-6. i made sure to have Easy anti cheat installed and chatgpt suggested to "disable" ipv6 or something like that.
Still cant connect, anything i'm missing? I'm not a linux expert, i've been using it for less than a month and i dont have very good knowledge in terms of "internet" and "network" stuff tbh, so i don't really know what could be the problem.

(everytime it gives the same error: C-00001-00898-1)

i also pased this into the lauch options:

PROTON_EAC_RUNTIME=1 %command% HOST_LC_ALL=$(echo $LANG) %command%

Can I play Rust on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Dezember 2025 - 14:01

Installed Rust today as I used to play it on windows all the time, tried to get into a server and was met with a no EAC detected error.

noticed that Rust had installed via proton, and so the EAC installed was an .exe

Wanted to make a thread in case older threads had outdated info.

Is there any ways around this issue or am I going to have a Christmas without Rust?

Cheers.

Recording games using Steam flatpak

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Dezember 2025 - 13:45

Hello,

I am currently using Fedora 43 Cosmic. I have Steam installed via Flatpak because I don't see a system installation.

The problem is that I can't record gameplay. It seems to save a temporary file with the recording, etc., but when I try to play it back or save it, I always get an error saying that it can't be done.

Does this feature even work on Linux?

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Could it be a problem with my distribution?

I should mention that I switched to Linux from Windows about a year ago, so I'm still learning the ropes.

Steam "The Farmer was replaced" sudden graphics issue

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Dezember 2025 - 13:41

I installed and played "The Farmer was replaced" from Steam yesterday. No issues, everything worked OOTB.

Now, the next day, I only get this screen:

https://preview.redd.it/w6u2p8i4d59g1.png?width=1918&format=png&auto=webp&s=3017c9ec820dcdcc79cd58212d9d7674b3f74458

I can hear the games music, and it reacts to me pressing "ESC" (the screen gets a little darker).

I tried every common tinker steps:
Proton Experimental, Proton-GE, Proton Latest Stable, Launch options mentioned on ProtonDB: https://www.protondb.com/app/2060160

I'm running out of ideas here :(
