Valve continue hammering away at the code for SteamOS to get it working nicely on more devices and hardware, with SteamOS 3.7.9 Beta bringing more fixes.

I run a beefy system, and CS2 runs like butt cheeks unlike on Windows for me, however I learned today that you can enable Gamemode (Had to install it on my OS).

So the issue is, it drops to 240 FPS which is not a bad number, but the game feels legitimately like I am playing at 60hz with input delay too, after enabling Game mode the average is now 419 FPS, and zero input lag, and it feels like I am playing on my 180hz display now.

If you've got 100% AMD and change the reimage script, you can install SteamOS on your PC.

Note : IT IS UNSTABLE. IT CAN DISAPEARE FOR NO REASON. (On the hardware i had at least)

I want a system that I can easily run modern games, sometimes surf the Internet, use some light programs (editing, disk management), and I also like to play on console emulators. I also welcome a user-friendly interface. Do you have any advice?

I have a mid 2012 macbook pro (13") running Ubuntu 24.04 on a i5-3210M that I've maxed out with 16gb of RAM. I'm trying to run Forza Horizon 2 (the xbox 360 version) using xenia canary, and I got the files and everything from another post in r/abandonware. I know it works because it successfully launches on my pc using proton experimental on steam (also Ubuntu 24.04) using an i7-9700k and a rtx 3060. Launching with the same proton experimental on my laptop gives me the error message from the image above.

What I'm confused about is how the error message given says that I must "Ensure that you have the latest drivers for your GPU and it supports Direct3D 12 with the feature level of at least 11_0." I am 100% confident that the Intel HD 4000 igpu that the i5-3210M comes with is capable of dx11. Is there a launch option I need to add when launching this in steam to translate these APIs? I'm aware that my laptop's cpu isn't meant to hardly meant to handle anything so intensive, but really any frame rate is fine, so long as I can get this to work.

and after seeing many of other posts in this community, I think I should note that I CANNOT afford a laptop that can actually handle gaming right now. Not even deal-of-the-century cheap 200 dollar rigs. nothing.

Thanks

To make somewhat of a longer story short I have been experiencing difficulty playing World of Warcraft on my machine and have been troubleshooting this issue for going on 3 weeks now. The issue is basically than while in combat & moving around a bunch the game just lags like crazy making the game essentially unplayable.

I've been trying to leverage chatGPT to help sort out the issue and troubleshoot but also not just blindly following any instructions given from chatGPT. From yesterday's troubleshooting chatGPT parsed through some debug logging (using Lutris to play games) and it was identified that apparently my kernel version has "known issues & regressions with AMD GPU's / drivers". This could absolutely just be an AI hallucination but I do see a bit of chatter online about AMD GPU's and kernel compatibility issues on various websites & social media. Apparently, the logging from my gameplay specifically called out an error displaying: "AMDGPU broken kernel detected. Enabling manual memory clearing path."

I'm running Pop!_OS 22.04 which seems to be using 6.12.10 for the current kernel and I was able to boot with "oldkernel-config" which bumped me back to 6.9.3 or something like that but the problem unfortunately still was happening.

ChatGPT was suggesting 6.6.X to be a good idea / option to try that kernel specifically but I wasn't exactly sure on how to roll back to that specific version so still working on sorting that out.

But my overall question and reason for posting here is I am wondering is any of all what's mentioned here even making sense at all, or is it dumb to think my kernel version is having compatibility issues with my GPU? What I don't want to have happen is for me to think my issue will eventually just go away one day whenever this kernel incompatibility issue is resolved when that's not even the issue in the first place.

Some details about my machine:

• System76 Desktop (Thelio)

• Pop!_OS 22.04

• Current Kernel: 6.12.10-76061203-generic

• GPU: AMD Radeon 7600

Hello everyone, need assistance with running GTA Vice City Definitive Edition on Linux Mint from Epic store. I have successfully ran games like Crysis 1, COD, Dead Island 2 on Mint so far. For GTA VC I have tried launching it via Heroic and Lutris, what happens it takes me to Rockstar Launcher (once I login), then it just takes me to R. Launcher screen to buy the game. Please assist on how to launch the game.

Thanks

I play Rivals of Aether and discord matches use steam join links to access another's lobby (the lobby system sucks.) On my Linux Mint 22 system and my steam deck, I cannot join invite links. I tested this on both devices with firefox, and on the linux mint system, I tested this with Googsle Chrome as well. The link shows the page but when pressing join it does not get to the game.

A few days ago, I attempted to install Battle.net by adding it to Steam. First, I downloaded the installer and added it to Steam. Then, I opened its properties window and set its compatibility to use Proton Experiment. It launched and ran fine, but then changing the target from the installer to the launcher wouldn't work. I tried adding the launcher to Steam separately and then removing the installer, but deleting the installer deletes the install directory and everything in it.

My family plays 7 days to die together, and the linux port is really bad. I get 60fps on high on windows, 30 on low on linux. I have newer games that run at 60fps in proton, and I'd like to see if it runs better.

I just can't figure out how to install the windows version.

Hi!

I started playing CP2077 again after buying the DLC for 15 USD at GOG.

However, driving in this game sucks big time! Thus I decided to install mods for the first time ever, so I went to GOG and installed RED Mod from the store, and turned it on in the launcher.

Afterward, I manually installed the following mods from Nexus:

• Cyber Engine Tweaks (yes, I downloaded https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe and ran it on the same wine/proton prefix of the game)
• redscript
• RED4ext
• ArchiveXL
• TweakXL
• Native Settings UI
• Codeware
• Mod Settings

Then I restarted the game and... nothing. The installation instructions for RED4ext says:

5. (Optional) Check the log file in <game_directory>/red4ext/logs/red4ext.log to make sure everything works.

However, I have nothing:

~/Games ➜ ls -l Heroic/Cyberpunk\ 2077/red4ext Permissions Size User Date Modified Name drwxrwxr-x - jorge 27 may 17:22  plugins .rw-rw-r-- 1,1k jorge 23 ene 16:59  LICENSE.txt .rw-rw-r-- 2,1M jorge 23 ene 17:03  RED4ext.dll .rw-rw-r-- 10k jorge 23 ene 16:59  THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.txt

I can't stop driving like a drunk man in the game, please help 😭

I'm on NixOS, btw.

I successfully installed Wasteland from Steam on Fedora using Lutris. I then successfully installed Command and Conquer Generals on EA/Lutris. But when I tried installing Warhammer 4K Daemonsgate I crashed and burned. I tried installing from the Steam section of Lutris (with the Steam app running in the background). Instantly the program was "installed". But looking for the program files, it said there were none. I clicked on Lutris's "remove" option on the game's poster within the Steam games section of Lutris and tried again with the same results.

When trying to run it complains about being on the wrong platform. Based on the "wrong platform" popup, I figured I needed to run from Wine instead of Steam (despite the Lutris website running a script that was supposed to install the game using Steam - which did exactly what I'd previously done without luck).

I'm not sure if that is what I need to do, and if it is, how to do it. How do you install a Steam game in Wine?

How exactly do you designate an alternative exe launcher when using proton?

I'm trying to change the AML for Xcom 2 but just plugging in the full file directory into the custom launch options field doesn't do it. Can anyone give me a quick 101 lesson on this?

So with the playerbase coming back to Star Wars Battlefront II, a couple of friends and myself wanted to jump in while the numbers stay that way and have some fun.
Because we dont want to pay the full price for the game we decided to pay for a month of EA Play on Steam to play it.

Now my problem is, that I cant get it to launch. When I try to start Battlefront II I get a window of an Installation of EA Play. If I want to install it, it results in an Error "INST-14-1603". I couldnt find anything to fix this issue, so help would be great. I already tried different Proton Versions like Experimental, 10, the CachyOS Proton package and GE Proton 10.
