9070 XT Big FPS drops when playing Megabonk

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. Oktober 2025 - 16:34
kernel Linux 6.17.1-arch1-1 de Xfce4 4.20 vulkan 1.4.318 - radv [Mesa 25.2.4-arch1.1] Proton-GE 10.7 Windowed full screen 3440x1440 Vsync Off Uncapped FPS FOV and camera distance at default values

(edit) running the game native hits 300 constantly. Still baffled as to why it makes such a big difference with this particular game.

I recently made the switch to AMD from NVIDIA so there could be something I missed in the prerequisites.

On Windows, Megabonk hits 300 FPS constantly, while on Arch I'm getting very big drops, sometime as low as 40 even with every graphic setting turned all the way down. Deadlock, Warframe and Rocket League run perfectly fine.

While typing this I can see Megabonk (active window) sitting at the main menu with an FPS going all over the place. 130, 170, 260, 70, 295...

Should I be playing the game native? I'm honestly very surprised by the huge performance difference for such modest looking game.

Steam Library Migration

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. Oktober 2025 - 16:04

Greetings all!

I’ve just installed Kubuntu on a separate SSD on my PC, which has been running Windows 10 for years. I’m now dual-booting between the two.

I saw several videos suggesting that it’s possible to install Linux and simply point the Linux version of Steam to an existing game library on another drive. I tried this by linking my Linux Steam installation to the HDD where my Windows Steam library is stored. However, I’m not satisfied with the results — some games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain do load, but the frame rate and graphics performance are terrible, practically a slideshow.

I suspect this might have something to do with my graphics drivers, but since this is my first time using Linux, I’m not entirely sure how to proceed. Any advice would be deeply appreciated!

System Specs:

Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit (dual-boot with Kubuntu)

Processor: 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-11700K @ 3.60GHz (16 CPUs, ~3.6GHz)

Memory: 32 GB RAM

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

DirectX Version: 12

Storage Setup:

128 GB SSD – Windows 10

1 TB SSD – Kubuntu

6 TB HDD – Steam Library & RetroArch

First time using Linux, cant get mods to load

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. Oktober 2025 - 15:42

Hey guys. Recently bought a new pc. Took the nvme with my games from my old windows pc and put it into my new pc. Steam didnt really start the games on my old drive, with some help from chatgpt I added some pointers on a local drive and got the games to start, but i never was able to make the mods load. Pc gaming without mods is for me a no go so i just went back to windows. That was half a year ago. Now win10 is pretty much eol, so i gotta think about what to do. I stilm have dual boot activated and can load up my linux. Does anyone know why my mods didnt load? Do i have to format my drive and reinstall all games and then it works? Or do mods and mod loaders just not work with linux? Tried tales of berseria, monster hunter world and code vein for example

Box64 0.3.8 Brings DynaCache and Faster Game Loading on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. Oktober 2025 - 15:33

The latest Box64 0.3.8 release focuses squarely on performance and compatibility. The headline feature, DynaCache, introduces a disk-based cache for native code generation that dramatically cuts program load times and reduces runtime hiccups—especially noticeable in titles like Factorio on Linux.

Please help me get started with Linux gaming setup

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. Oktober 2025 - 14:12

Hi guys!

My laptop model is HP Victus 15-fb0xxx. It's promoted as a gaming laptop.

I'm a long time Linux user. I have Pop_OS! as my main daily OS. (Windows 10 is partially installed afterwards with dual booting which I never use unless necessary. Also running windows really heats up my system for whatever reason.)

More than a couple months ago, I downloaded Lutris and tried to run Dark Souls (which I got from pirated site fitgirl-something). And the game ran, laptop fans ran pretty fast, and the graphics was very bad. Pixelated, blurry, and slow animations. I'm not sure what was wrong. And I dropped my wish of gaming yet again.

Please help me set something up so I can play hardcore games like Dark Souls and others!

Thanks for any responses!
