Best wireless IEM to replace my headphones (Linux compatible)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. November 2025 - 19:22

Hello

I’d like to buy a pair of IEMs to “replace” my headphones, which flatten my hair too much after long periods of use. I have no knowledge about it, and I have a €100 budget for this Black Friday.

In terms of main specifications, I’m looking for something with:

  1. Lots of imaging for FPS games
  2. Good overall listening quality (music, movies, podcasts, single‑player games, etc.)
  3. Excellent isolation (better than a closed‑back headset if possible)

I’d also like a popular model so I can find an audiophile profile for Equalizer APO. If you need any more information to advise me, feel free to ask.

XBOX One controller (wired) was working great and suddenly it just stopped, does nothing but blink.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. November 2025 - 18:54

So I tried used an 8BitDO ultimate bluetooth controller, both wired and bluetooth, and it will not be recognized by Mint and therefore Steam. I checked some of the various posts already made about this issue but I did not see anything with a clear resolution. I am fine playing with the controller wired or bluetooth, I don't care either way. I just want it to work again like it did last week.

Thanks

Joystic configuration problem

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. November 2025 - 18:20

I'm trying to play DCS (digital combat simulator) with Nobara KDE/lutris (tested also with cachy). I have VKB T-rudder pedals and gunfighter joystick in the same black box. The problem is that rudder works but wrongly. Axis range goes only from 0-100 and the middle point is 50 when it should be -100 - 100. So if I put full left rudder game thinks its in the middle and so on. Joystick works just ok with correct range -100 - 100.

Need help finding Cracked Sims 4 Mods Folder

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. November 2025 - 18:12

I’ve done this in the past on windows where it was more obvious and could just be found within user’s documents inside the EA folder under sims. I am aware that adding a windows game as a non steam game on steam essentially creates folders that simulate the windows.

I’m just kinda lost and don’t know where to even start looking. Also in case it matters I’m on a steam deck.

PoE 1 freezing under linux mint UPDATE

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. November 2025 - 16:58

Hey! I posted about this a couple of days ago, and i think i figured it out. I enabled in the steam overlay, to show gpu/cpu usage and fps and this type of things, and when it freezes, turns out, that my RAM is maxed out! While playing the game, my gpu and cpu handle everything, 60-70%, and about 65-70C both of them. When i installed Linux Mint, i didnt make a "RAM folder" or idk how it is called. Can that be a problem?

Do Linux truly gives higher FPS?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. November 2025 - 16:55

I heard many different things about Linux, that it gives more FPS in games, I heard that it always gives worse fps, some said the fps is only worse if there is wine or proton, and a lot said that linux gives similiar or better fps, I dont know wich one is true.

Linux macros for razer mices (and more if people follow this thread)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. November 2025 - 16:48

Hi guys,
I'm working on a tool that lets you map macros to Razer mice on Linux.

(It also lets you remap other devices with a bit of configuration/editing)

I'm looking for a couple of testers with different mouse models.
Right now it only works reliably on a couple models because every Razer model exposes its side buttons on different input files.

I want to expand compatibility to as many Razer mice as possible, but that means I need people with different devices to test and confirm which input files work.

Testing takes a couple minutes:

Clone the repo
Build it
Try the event files until the side buttons register
Send back which one worked, and your mouse model

Full instructions for testing and adding compatibility are here:
https://github.com/lostallmymoney/Razer_Mouse_Linux/issues/55

Thanks !

Did the recent update break the game or did I mess up?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. November 2025 - 16:41

The last time i played Genshin Impact was a week or two before the 6.0 update and it was perfectly fine. I tried to update the game recently but the Hoyoplay launcher was giving me trouble so I uninstalled it and tried to install it again, but I keep getting this Wine program error. I've updated wine, my system and graphic drivers hoping something might fix it somehow but I still get this. The game itself launches fine when launching it directly but won't log in because it's outdated and I need the Hoyo launcher to update to recent update. Any help fixing this?

Lagging while playing Age of Empires 2 DE and KCD2

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. November 2025 - 16:20

This is my PC spec
RTX 3060 12 GB
Intel I9 and 32GB RAM with NvMe and SSD for storage

I am using linux mint. I have installed latest Nvidia drivers .

So I have switched from windows to linux and its been almost a month. Till now I have had no issues with most of the games I play since they are not graphically heavy on the system. I have tried CP2077 on Heroic and it works like a charm and much better than on windows.

My problem comes is with Steam the performance and FPS drops.
I have played Age of empires 2 DE on windows (same PC) had no major issue apart from network problems. But with linux its worse the game starts normally the problem comes is when there are multiple units in one game (same true for SP with AI and MP). Once the threshold increase the game lag and it becomes a PPT slide show. I saw some post saying to turn ON Vsync but it if does not help.

Second I reinstalled KCD 2 just to prepare for DLC coming out next week and notice the game functions normally but when i get into combat or cut scene the FPS drops and the NPC lags. I cant see the attacks coming in. It playable but its annoying compared to my previous experience.

I saw a lot of comments previously that Nvidia is got good for Linux gaming but is my only option to change GPU to AMD? Has someone figured out a solution for this?

Again the games are playable but its not that as smooth as it was on windows. I strongly believe its not hardware issue but something i did wrong.

Dying Light fails to load DLLs under Wine 10.15 (status c0000135)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. November 2025 - 15:27

🧾 System info:

  • Fedora Linux 42
  • Wine-Staging 10.15 (64-bit prefix)
  • Game: Dying Light (manual installation)

🧩 Problem:
When launching with wine DyingLightGame.exe, the game fails immediately with:

err:module:import_dll Library WLDAP32.dll (needed by libcurl64.dll) not found err:module:import_dll Library libcurl64.dll (needed by engine_x64_rwdi.dll) not found err:module:loader_init Importing dlls for DyingLightGame.exe failed, status c0000135

🔍 What I found:

  • All required DLLs (like libcurl64.dll, engine_x64_rwdi.dll, gamedll_x64_rwdi.dll) exist in the folder.
  • Wine seems to ignore the current folder when resolving DLLs.
  • WLDAP32.dll (a system DLL) is missing from the Wine prefix.

⚙️ What I’ve tried so far:

  1. Created clean 64-bit prefix with winecfg.
  2. Installed dependencies via winetricks wldap32 vcrun2013 vcrun2015.
  3. Set DLL overrides (native,builtin) for all related DLLs in regedit.
  4. Added C:\DyingLight to PATH in registry.
  5. Tried running with:WINEDLLOVERRIDES="libcurl64,engine_x64_rwdi,gamedll_x64_rwdi,WLDAP32=native,builtin" wine DyingLightGame.exe
  6. Still getting status c0000135.

🧠 Question:
How can I make Wine properly load local DLLs from the game directory (C:\DyingLight)?
Or is there a known patch/config needed for Dying Light under Wine 10.x?

(EPILEPSY) is it platinum?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. November 2025 - 15:13

Ridge Racer Unbounded worked perfectly on older versions of Proton, but after updates, graphical artifacts appeared. Despite this, the game still has a "Platinum" status on its page (many positive reviews from the old version). This status can mislead people. The ProtonDB team needs to rethink the game rating system, focusing on current reviews.

First time gaming on Linux and have basically no idea about anything related to gaming. Could somebody help me? I'm running the game from Steam.

Does steam let you see and install every game even if it's not compatible or only the linux-compatible games are available in your library?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. November 2025 - 14:12

just a question that i had in my mind, since i can't change to linux just yet, anti cheats are holding me back.

Half Life 2 Episode 2 - Steam Deck UI - No Health in HUD bug fix

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. November 2025 - 13:59

apparently half life 2 episode 2 doesn't show your health in the HUD when you play on the steam deck. this is a bug caused by a typo in the game's code that started with the 20th anniversary update that came out last year. i had to download a modification from steam workshop to fix it. valve should fix this but this is just classic valve behaviour. the health displays fine if you play on a regular pc but on a steam deck with the gamepad UI you need this mod. at least it's fixable

anyway's here's the fix
