Linux HDR is broken again... And that's sad...

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 22 Stunden 11 Minuten

Latest Arch with KDE 6.3 converts gamescope HDR to SDR then converts it again to HDR. True HDR was working before that and was great.

At least now games can see that display supports HDR even without gamescope. Stills colors are washed for now...

People say that proton 10 will solve HDR without the need of gamescope. Still I can't find anything oficial about that beyond wine 10 default to wayland but lacking some features.

Do you think MESA drivers will actually care more about Ray tracing this time?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 22 Stunden 19 Minuten

Currently, at least in raster, the 9070xt has about 5 to 8% less performance than Windows drivers. As usual, this will be adjusted in the coming months, no doubt; however, RT has always been pretty bad before. Right now, the difference according to my tests can be between 25 to 45% less performance with RT enabled than Windows. Now, this card has amazing RT performance, which is pretty similar to the 4070ti Super. RT is very usable with FSR 4. I have seen VKD3D team and behind FSR 4 implementation, but do you guys think MESA will now care about optimizing RT properly? I could get it before because only RX 7900XT(X) had decent RT, but now the story is different.

Marvel rivals game freezing and cursor doesn’t lock to screen

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 22 Stunden 38 Minuten

Every so often my game will freeze when either making a lot of inputs at one time while a lot of utilities are active or just randomly at end of game. And at random points in the game my cursor would lose focus on the game and would go to my second monitor and if I want to stay in game and look around I have to hold my mouse button down.

Im not entirely sure if it’s a game problem with Linux or even on windows. But had any one else have this problem?

I’ve tried different compatibility options: experimental, GE and even 9. All still have the problem.

My system specs are i7-12700k 32GB ram 4070 super

Any solutions or insight people have would be really appreciated!

Issues with Civ V on Steam Deck using Proton

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 23 Stunden 25 Minuten

Hello. I have tried to use the Proton compatibility tool to run Civ V in order to use mods. However, whenever I launch the game using this option, it doesn't save any changes to settings and I have to agree to the EULA every time (I have no issues when using the default non-Proton setting). Every time the game lauches, it says "updating executable", which also seems odd. I think it must be some kind of issue with the reading/writing of the config files, but saves do work which are stored in the same area. Does anyone know what could be the cause of this issue? Thanks

Reducing input lag, steam in home streaming from Fedora PC

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. März 2025 - 23:48

Using a Nvidia shield Pro (2019) with the steam link app, connecting back to my fedora desktop - Gb wired connection on both ends - with two ubiquiti switches in between - no reported connection issues and steamlink shows a solid connection.

Using wireless Xbox one controllers connected to shield - both work fine as just controllers.

When in game getting noticeable input lag, that seems to get worse the longer the session goes on.

TV is set to game mode, and not doing upscaling - any settings or tweaking I can do to reduce input lag here?

More than happy to provide more details if needed as well

Some games running slow motion or low fps with WineGE or ProtonGE

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. März 2025 - 22:49

First of all, sorry for my bad English!
I distrohopped for a few days and returned to Zorin OS 17.3. I'm using Heroic Games Launcher, so I expected everything running flawlessly ootb. This is the case for some games like Saints Row The Third Remastered or Skyrim, but games like KOFXIII are slow motion (it feels smooth, but incredibly slow) and Monster Prom (Windows) is running at 2fps. One Step from Eden was running at 2fps in Pop_OS! but is working fine on Zorin. I've read a lot of posts there and checked that sometimes my driver is detected as LLVMPIPE but this is an issue for a few games (the rest detect nvidia). My inxi -G output is:

https://preview.redd.it/uj265qtt1wre1.png?width=654&format=png&auto=webp&s=6ae38dea727dacae1973c839c20b809ed874802d

I turned off and on Esync, Fsync, tried with ProtonGE (with umu enabled and disabled), lowing resolution to 1080p, with WineGE but games were still unplayable. Even Tennis Antics (12mb game from 2001) is running slow motion (I discovered it by checking videos as it was really smooth). I don't remember the same issues before distrohopping, and after a few days trying to fix it (I felt that I should be able as a software developer) I'm giving up. Any advice? I don't know if I can ask these things there. Thanks!

Team Fortress 2 crashes in native but not proton.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. März 2025 - 22:26

My native version of TF2 crashes my entire computer to the point I have to hard restart. Linux Mint. gtx1650 mobile. Every other game works. TF2 proton works but forces the game to be in insecure mode meaning I can't play.

Give Guest Account access to a second hard drive

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. März 2025 - 22:14

hello,I did create a second user without admin rights on cachyos.But I want that this user has access to a second hard drive where my steam library is stored.This hard drive is automounted with an entry in fstab and works well.Unfortunately when the second user is logged in the drive gets shown but he can`t see any files or folder and it says: no access

So I thought I have to make the second user part of the same group of the owner of the folder in which the disk is mounted ,like /mnt/mx512/ . I did also use the usermod command to add the second user to the same group of the admin.

But I still can`t access the hard disk although the second user is successfully added to the group of the owners of the hard disk. I also thought maybe I can change something in the fstab but I read that on ext4 systems the commands for groups don`t works and I have tochgrp the filesystem.

What do you do about streaming to different aspect ratios on Wayland?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. März 2025 - 21:27

It’s fairly easy on xorg to change the screen resolution to uncommon aspect ratios when streaming to devices like tablets or phones so you can utilize the entire screen.

It’s the only thing keeping me from going to Wayland.

As far as I can tell you just can’t do this on Wayland. Are you on Wayland just not using the full screen of devices you stream to? Does anyone have a workaround?

Games randomly start stuttering like crazy, requiring a restart to fix.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. März 2025 - 19:51

I'm running Linux Mint Cinnamon 22, on Kernel 6.11.0-21, running the PC with a RTX 4060, Ryzen 7 5700x3D and I'm using GE-Proton9-26 with GameMode turned on, and as the title suggests, occasionally games will start stuttering like CRAZY for seemingly no reason at all. It might have something to do with an effect appearing on screen, but idk. This has happened to me on REPO, Halo MCC, Genshin, and Slime Rancher 2 so far. I'll have a video down below of this happening, but I honestly don't think the video really captures just how bad it is. I checked system monitor and everything seemed to be fine in there. I haven't checked any terminals/logs because quite frankly, I'm quite new to Linux gaming so I'd have no idea what to specifically check. This has never happened to me on Windows. Oddly enough, I've played alot of Minecraft and it has never once happened to me on there. I also seem to have a problem where while I was streaming Terraria my game felt like it wasn't getting a perfect 60fps, and OBS kept saying my "Encoder Was Overloaded!" so maybe these two problems are connected.

Here is where the lag starts happening.

Bottles/Lutris option that can create syslinks an exe needs on SD

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. März 2025 - 19:40

Not a complete noob but I'm still very immature when it comes to understanding Linux. I'm playing NFS Unbound on the SD, and I want to mod it. To mod it, I need Frosty Mod manager 1.0.7. When I use it with just steam non steam game Proton, it crashes trying to create a syslink, saying I need admin rights or my SD card isn't formated as NTFS. If I use a 1.0.6.2 manager Linux patched, it won't recognize Unbound.

Unless someone can teach me how to patch or build 1.0.7 for Linux, would it be easier to teach me how to use Bottles or Protontricks or Lutris that solves the syslink / drive format issue?

I use Protontricks and it doesn't seem to work, even though I (think) I'm pointing it at the correct prefix(?), unbound. I still can't get around the syslink or format issue. Is there any way around this, trying to use a windows mod manager on Linux?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Terraria/TModLoader crashing seemingly at random?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. März 2025 - 18:05

It's been a week since I made the switch to Linux Mint, and while I've been enjoying the experience so far, these two games (which are the ones I play the most) are giving me a headache. My laptop faaaar exceeds the minimum requirements for these (see picture below), but I could count at least ten times where the game would simply freeze my whole system and I had to reboot every single time. and these are both native games, I'm running them without Wine or Proton. what do I do?

Anyone know how to fix this?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. März 2025 - 17:58

I installed WINE to play Baldi's Basics Remastered and I downloaded it, put it in my Linux disk space, even put the BALDI.exe file out of the .ZIP file and into the disk space, and I ran the wine BALDI.exe command, and nothing's working (I updated and upgraded multiple times)
Does anyone know how to fix this? (I'm not that experienced with some of Linux, please excuse my dumb ass)

Gacha Games on Ubuntu (Genshin, HSR, WuWa)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. März 2025 - 17:32

Hi y'all. I'm planning on switching from Windows 11 to Ubuntu in the near future because atp im tired of Microsoft's nonsense. I play games such as Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail and Wuthering Waves. I want to still play these games so how can I run these on Ubuntu? And will my accounts get banned if I do this because as far as I know all of these games has anti-cheat measures. I'm quite scared to use my main accounts here because I spent a quite decent amount already and built-up alot of characters. Losing it just because I switched into an unsupported operating system will be like a stab in my heart, countless times.

Does Vanguard destroy dual booted systems bootloader?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. März 2025 - 17:29

I have a windows 11 and pop os dual boot, with 2 separate SSDs. I just installed Pop so it was pretty new. It was working fine for a few days, I headed over to my windows to play a game of league then went back to PopOS. But I was unable to boot into PopOS, and from looking at the disks, my boot loader file was all janked. mind you, I turned safe boot off the entire time. However, my boot loader was broken and I had to rewrite it from a USB install
