Forza Horizon 4 memory leaking

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. April 2025 - 16:19
Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 Kernel Version: 6.12.20-2-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 16 × Intel® Core™ i9-9900KF CPU @ 3.60GHz Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Product Name: Z390 AORUS ELITE LD_PRELOAD="" gamemoderun mangohud %command%

The game is installed on a separate SSD from Steam, and Steam is not installed as a Flatpak

Just started playing today and noticed that as I play the memory usage slowly creeps up at a somewhat steady rate (0.1 gigs every ~20 seconds); the first time I noticed the issue was when the game started lagging horribly, which prompted me to look at MangoHud and see 27 gigs of usage, so I figured the lag was caused by reading the swap - aside from that the game runs buttery smooth

I've tried Proton 9.0-4, Experimental, Hotfix, and GE9-26 and the issue seems to be present regardless; I did also try two or three other versions of GE that I can't remember, but it's not really important because the game either didn't launch at all or crashed shortly after the splash window appeared anyway

I tried looking for a solution online and found nothing Linux-specific, though I did find that deleting TargetHardwareProfiler.dll might help, but apparently it only solves the game memory leaking on the login screen (which it wasn't doing for me anyway); I did also find (somewhere) that adding PROTON_USE_WINED3 could fix it but the game would not launch

I'm still a bit of a newbie to gaming on Linux so I am completely out of ideas

Warframe freezes on login with newest nvidia driver

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. April 2025 - 16:16

I've encountered a strange issue with a setup I previously used to run warframe flawlessly with proton. After updating to the newest nvidia 570 driver and a newer manjaro kernel my warframe now consistently freezes on the login screen as pictured https://imgur.com/a/ZLf3FNW

Steam logs this but I cannot find any issue

Has anyone else encountered this or know any solution? I have tried many different proton versions, warframe with dx11(previously only worked with dx12) clearing shader cache, and clean OS reinstall.

I can provide any other needed info upon request.

EDIT: With gamemoderun %command% I get this error

Fossilize WARN: Pipeline library handle 0x00007f464c07c980 is not registered. It has either not been recorded, or it failed to be recorded earlier (which is expected if application uses an extension that is not recognized by Fossilize). submitted by /u/mellow1238

RTX 50-series drivers in Ubuntu?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. April 2025 - 14:38

I am trying to make my new RTX 50-series GPU to work under Ubuntu. Currently I am stuck at 1280x800 on my 4k display (Dell U2723QE). And the display is not detected correctly (while being connected using DisplayPort) $ cat /sys/class/drm/card0-Unknown-1/modes 1280x800

Linux VR Works!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. April 2025 - 13:22

Its worked for a while, but i mean like no hickups! Im using a quest 3 with Envision and WiVRn, and it all just worked immediately out of the box.

VrChat stuttering is fixed, no random fps drops, no crashing, space drag is integrated and plugin support too. I am shocked at how much better it is than steamVR with ALVR in my experience, which took hours of troubleshooting and such!

Lmk how your experience has been with it, and if it goes so smooth for everyone :)

Some freezes and stutter, slow experience : help !

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. April 2025 - 11:18

Hey !

I have freshly installed CachyOS on my battlestation to start gaming on Linux. I had already installed it on an old laptop to get used to KDE plasma etc... everything good so far !

However, i have some weird slow moments and quick freezes that should happen during basic office task (open settings, open steam, transfer files etc...). I didnt try gaming so far. It's also a bit slow to boot, even if it got better after some reboots.

I have installed on a freshly installed Curcial P310 SSD 2To fully dedicated to Linux. I have installed gaming packages, new drivers etc...

My specs are :

  • CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
  • GPU : AMD Radeon RX 9070
  • MB : MSI B650 Tomahawk
  • RAM : Corsair Vengeance 32Gb DDR5

Also, it seems a bit slow to download and/or install games (Maybe its my impression, its not a wifi issue as i have 200Mb/s download on Win10). Maybe i missed some crucial tweaks or drivers ? Thanks a lot for your help :)

Disco Elysium launches fine, but TAB / RMB object highlight (outline) doesn’t work – post-processing issue?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. April 2025 - 10:01

Hi everyone!

I’ve seen several people struggling to run Disco Elysium on older Linux hardware — but my case is a bit different. I actually managed to get the game running, though I’m facing a weird issue related to highlighting interactive objects.

In Disco Elysium, when you press TAB or right mouse button, the game normally highlights interactable objects (e.g., outlines them). But on my setup, nothing gets highlighted.

I’ve learned that this effect is likely part of post-processing / outline rendering — which seems to be broken or disabled for me.

I found a file:
Settings.json at:
SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/632470/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/SUN Studio/Disco Elysium/Settings/

There’s a line:
"highlightToggle": false
Changing it to true doesn't help — it resets to false every time the game starts.

Now the game only launches if I run:
MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=crocus steam steam://rungameid/632470 (Previously, it worked even with i965, but now that fails) with PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% in steam, but post-processing didn’t work.

My system info:
OS: Manjaro Linux (64-bit)

Kernel: 6.12.19-1-MANJARO

CPU: Intel Core i3-3110M @ 2.40GHz

GPU: Intel HD 4000 (IVB GT2)

GPU Driver: Mesa 25.0.1-arch1.2

RAM: 8 GB

Proton Version: UMU Proton, tried GE

Any help would be super appreciated — I’ve come this far and would love to fix this last piece. Thank you in advance! :3

How often do we need to change the priority of gamescope?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. April 2025 - 08:52

No CAP_SYS_NICE, falling back to regular-priority compute and threads.
Performance will be affected.

It appears too frequently, I always need to do:

sudo setcap 'CAP_SYS_NICE=eip' $(which gamescope)

It is really annoying!
