The game functioned on proton last Tech test after some hiccups. I’m assuming it’ll work fine enough because of the studios support for The Finals. Definitely worth trying out.

Hey people

I've got a Cosmic Byte Blitz controller that shows up as an Xbox One type controller on Windows and functions normally, with rumble and all plug n play.

However I'm having a lot of trouble getting jt to run on Linux. For one Rumble never works. That I can still live without, but for some reason inside some games(I tried Hollow Knight and Dark Souls Remastered), the controls are all messed up. Buttons are randomly mapped to others, and disabling or enabling Steam Input does not help at all. What's even weirder is, when using Steam Big Picture mode the controller works just fine, all buttons working just as they should.

Using lsusb the controller shows up as an Apple Inc. Gamepad when wired, and when using a dongle it's labelled as ShenWang something, can't recall exactly. However the same issues persist across both.

If anyone could help, it'd be very much appreciated as this is the only thing preventing me from switching back to Linux.

Thank you!

Edit: forgot to add, I was on Fedora 42 with Kernel 6.16. Also tried 6.14.

Hey everyone! The latest version of Sands, my Dune-inspired roguelike, is now live! And as always, fully Linux-native (tested on Arch & Ubuntu).

🌀 New in v0.1.38:

• Permadeath & Roleplay Modes – choose between a pure roguelike or a story-driven experience
  
• Guild Bribe System – pay off the Spacing Guild to hide your ecological projects (or face raids and penalties)
  
• Expedition Map Selector – pick your next journey visually, assess risk before committing resources
  
• 11 New Encounters – spice blows, Harkonnen patrols, Fremen ceremonies, smuggler ambushes, and more
  
• Fremen Language Integration – authentic Chakobsa terms like kaveh, bled, ichwan, woven into quests
  
• Visual Overhaul – better combat effects, explosions, and atmosphere
  
• Dynamic Scenes & QoL Fixes – improved UI, entity interactions, and auto-discovery
  

🌵 About the game:

Sands is a pixel-art desert survival roguelike inspired by Frank Herbert’s Dune.
You play a Fremen, balancing survival, ecology, and secrecy while navigating politics and the endless desert.

Runs natively on Linux (x86_64), no Wine, no hacks.
Built with Crystal & Raylib.

Hello! I recently installed Ubuntu 22.04 on my MacBook Pro (Mid-2014) and bought Portal. Unfortunately, the game crashes after the menu so, I tried adding "-vulkan" to the launch options, and now the game won't even launch. Using Proton with Wine3D makes everything darker and runs poorly. I created a partition for Windows and the game works great in there, but Microsoft Windows is awful and I'd much prefer to use Linux. Is there anything I can do to get Portal to run natively? Thanks in advance :)

Pretty much every game i have tried has worked without issues so far until now. Megabonk won't launch no matter what proton version i try. I didnt even get this error message until i tried proton-cachyos (native package). Used arch-update on cachyos to update everything (i do it regularly anyway). I have verified the game files through steam, also re-downloaded the game. Protondb has this game on platinum and the reviews there showed none has this issue.

I have Asus G15 AE laptop with 6800m (6700xt equivalent) on Cachyos. still new to linux in general and idk what to do next.

Edit: Tried the native first before trying the proton compatibility layers

Getting this error on a fresh install of Debian 13, have tried installing via both Lutris and Bottles and both give the same message.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this?

So I have this old build laptop that I installed arch linux on and am using to play old and indie games mostly on it. I had just installed fallout new Vegas which is a pretty old game but it was running absolutely horribly. I went back lowered settings and noticed that my detected gpu in the game launcher is the Rx 5600 xt which is in my PC and not in the laptop. So could this be the reason? Did steam install shaders cache for a gpu that's not even there making my lag spike so bad. Like I can't even get into gun fights it gets laggy and stutters a lot. How can I solve this pls. Note: it ran fine when I had windows on this laptop.

How can i get fivem on linux apparently it works, theres no guide though like do i just like `wine fivem.exe` or like whats the method here. I would use a windows vm but i cant get KVM to work with hardware accel and vmware only loads linux and virtualbox not loading kernel driver stuff

I was wondering what you guys do for games that require windows? Do you dual boot? And does Linux run better than Windows? Especially on amd builds?

My only experience with Linux is my steam deck so I only know some games can't run on the steam deck because it's Linux based. Like BF6.

I've recently installed Fedora KDE and just getting Ubisoft Connect running in Lutris is causing me headaches. It crashes immediately on default wine version wine-ge-8-26-x86_64. After a lot of waiting and retries, it eventually manages to launch on Proton-Experimental.

After installing AC Shadows through the launcher, I tried launching it using Proton-Experimental. It starts and goes through the initial introduction videos. Then the instant it encounters the menu UI, the game closes.

Runner options

Game closes but it doesn't stop running. Ubisoft Connect then pops up and shows the game isn't running.

I've tried the other wine versions and now I can't even get the game to launch again.

How should I go about just getting the damn game to run?

I created a new topic on Bungie's forum regarding allowing the game to run through proton. If those interested in seeing this happening could comment under the post, it would help get some traction.

Hi all, I searched for this issue for a bit and there seems to be a thread here and there, but nothing super concrete.

There is an issue with all my games regarding Volumetric Fog, every game starts overlaying it over everything. For now I've had it happen in Elden Ring, Armoured Core 6 and Alan Wake, all on Steam/Proton.

I can work around it by setting the quality to max, but I'd like my frames back. Is this a widely know issue and is there some fix for it?

Other than setting the quality to max, it seems restarting the game works as well, and in the case od ER, just quit to menu and go back, but it comes back as soon as I die and respawn, and sometimes when I just rest at a grace (I assume the layers get reloaded when that happens in ER).

I'm on Fedora 42 KDE with nVidia drivers, all up to date. Games work fine otherwise.
