Been on Linux for years but recently been emulating older games again but I have a windows laptop I do all emulation on since idk how to do it on Linux.

But I've been wanting to emulate better harder to run games and want it on my main machine.

I don't really know how to go about it at all and if it's any different then windows.

What I do for windows is just get a VPN get the emulator and then the games and it's simple.

But idk if I need a VPN and if the emulators and games will run on Linux.

What VPN do you use? And what do you do?

Hi, I am writing this post because I ran out of idea. Recently I setup my arch via https://omarchy.org/ ,
Unfortunately I am not able to start Elden Ring Nightreign anylonger (previously possible with clean arch install). When starting the game, an error pops up just after Vulkan shaders are loaded: "Failed to initialize dependencies". Since the game uses EAC (Easy Anti Cheat), I came across this post [PSA] Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) "Failed to initialize dependencies" fix for Wayland

Since my SDL_VIDEODRIVER is also set to wayland

env = SDL_VIDEODRIVER,wayland

I tried to add x11, windows and even unsetting the env. Unfortunately the issue still is there.

Any ideas on how I could further troubleshoot this issue?
Things like reinstalling steam, trying different proton versions did not help either.

I am using Heroic games launcher to install and run some GOG games. Most games work fine, but I'm having trouble with two: Heroes of Might and Magic 2, and Sid Meier's Pirates Live the Life. This is odd because these titles previously worked through Heroic on Xubuntu (currently on Mint), and because they work just fine if I install them via their offline installers and run them using Wine, instead of using Heroic (which is using Wine, lol).

I'd prefer to troubleshoot this because 1) I'm really curious as to what's going on and 2) it'd be nice to have all my games launching from Heroic (or Steam for my Steam games).

Additional info: I have Steam installed. Heroic recognizes Wine 10.0, GE-Wine Latest, Proton 9, Proton Hotfix and Proton Experimental. Aside from flipping through this dropdown menu, I have not adjusted any settings. I installed GE-Wine via Heroic, Wine via terminal, and all the Protons via Steam.

Heroic version 2.17.0 Wine 10.0 Mint 22.1

How do I begin troubleshooting this? How do I see what errors Heroic produces?

Whenever i try to launch the game it comes up with this error even if i try different proton versions or even if i try and run the game with wine myself by going to the directory, how do i fix this?

Hey guys,

I hate windows and want to change to Linux, but there are a lot of questions I have.

How is gaming over there? EAC games still not working? I have a lot of games I’m currently playing with EAC. I don’t want to workaround this, to risky of getting banned in the games I like.

Did we have fsr4 in Linux ? Or is it still not in the drivers?

What is the best distro for gaming? I heard a lot good things about cachy and nobara.

I am currently making the jump from Windows to Bazzite (desktop, nvidia gpu, gnome desktop environment).

A lot went well so far, but I am having trouble running a certain game in Lutris, getting the following errors:

The files do exist in the given path, so I am guessing this is just a version issue? I tried the following:

ujust update

I dont think this updated wine dependencies though

winetricks --self-update

this gave a permission error, and apparently the first user you make does not have sudo or su permissions.

I also came across this forum post which mentioned reinstalling wine, but I am a bit confused on the commands used. apt is not a recognized command, so I figured maybe they use rpm like fedora, but dnf update also does not work.

Anyone who can help me?

Update:

Solved it, in the wine settings in lutin, I changed the wine version from the default to GE-Proton and that did the trick

So, I wanted the download Cemu from Lutris hoping that I can launch wii u games from Lutris directly but no matter how much I try, on the runners tab I cannot download Cemu at all. It will always say "Runner failed to install". I can download other emulators like pcsx2, ppsspp, dolphin etc. and add ROMs and play it directly from lutris. I also downloaded the cemu app-image from the official site but lutris doesn't seem to recognize it. The Cemu from software manager, lutris does show the runner but when loading the ROMs it will always say ROM not found. Is there anything I can do to be able to just open and play emualtor games directly from Lutris, it is such a convenient and easy way to play. Sorry, if this question sounds stupid.

Hey, I'm trying to get HDR working properly in Hunt: Showdown on Linux, but I'm running into a really annoying issue that I can't quite pin down. I'm currently using CachyOS with 5070ti nvidia gpu.

I’m using Gamescope with HDR enabled, launching the game like this:
ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 gamescope -f -r 240 -W 2560 -H 1440 --hdr-enabled --hdr-debug-force-output --force-grab-cursor -- env ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=1 DXVK_HDR=1 DISABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command%

I'm using kde plasma i have wayland. HDR does get activated in the game and averything goes fine, but after like 2/3 hours or sometimes even less I start getting some heavy frame drops, like 1–2 second stutters. There’s no specific trigger sometimes it happens during combat, sometimes while just walking around. If I restart the game, it’s fine again for a while, then it starts happening again.

I also tried launching the game with just DXVK_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command% (no gamescope), and while HDR does seem to kick in, the colors look way too oversaturated and high-contrast, like the tone mapping is messed up.

At this point I’m considering just playing Hunt on Windows because the experience there is obviously way smoother with HDR but I’d love to keep it on Linux if possible.

Has anyone experienced something like this? Any ideas on how to stabilize it or debug what exactly is happening when the freeze kicks in?

Thanks!

Hello Linux gamers!

Pip My Dice, my very first game, is releasing on Friday. It is a score attack game inspired by Balatro that I have been working on for 1,5 years now.

Feel free to add it to your wishlist if it looks like something you could enjoy: Steam Page

Wishing you a nice Sunday :)

I use Fedora Workstation 42 and have a 1920x1080 monitor with %125 fractional scaling but Minecraft runs at 3072x1728 which lowers the fps.

This probably has to do with the xwayland-native-scaling experimental feature

OS: CachyOS

Graphics: RTX 5070, 2560x1440p 180hz Monitor

DE: Gnome

Additional info:

• Using Prism Launcher

I recently enabled the fractional scaling option for Gnome and set it to 125%, as a 100% scale at my monitor's resolution is way too small for me.

Minecraft is pretty much unplayable at this scale for some reason (at 100% scale it looks fine), despite no other apps being affected by this scaling change.

My attempts at fixing it:

1. Using xpra's run_scaled in the wrapper command for my Minecraft instance (run_scaled --scale=1.0). This didn't work, and was disconnected from the xpra session once Minecraft launched.
2. Using gamescope in the wrapper command (gamescope -W 2560 -H 1440 -w 2560 -h 1440 -b -f --). The one time my game actually launched the resolution was still messed up.
3. I also looked into GDK_SCALE and GDK_DPI_SCALE but they didn't seem to affect anything, and I couldn't even figure out how to run them when the Minecraft is started by Prism.

I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I have been dying to play Jurassic Park Operation genesis since the announcement of the new Jurassic World movie came out. I want to play this game on my DD which is a fedora 42 system. I first used a Thinkpad with nobara installed at work, and it had started up with zero issues and never crashed or did anything weird. I transferred that same file from my laptop to my main PC running Fedora 42 and it won't run. I've tried using Steam to use proton and GE versions, but It starts up for a second with a black screen and then closes no matter what version. I've also tried to use Bottles, lutris and just plain WINE but nothing seems to work. Am I missing a dependency that nobara has, or is my intel laptop just more compatible compared to my AMD system? Any help would be appreciated.

PS- I also tried this on my steam deck with it not working there as well

PC specs:

Fedora 42 KDE

CPU: Ryzen 5900x

GPU: Radeon 6900xt

64gb ddr4 ram

Laptop: Thinkpad T480

Nobara

CPU: I5-8350u

GPU: intel UHD 620

16gb ddr4 ram

In the past month I have had to reset my system 3 times because of system crashing or failing entirely, and even in games that are supported my laptop crashed a lot mid game, and I know this is not my laptop issue as my laptop would never crash on windows. I don't like windows at all and am considering for duelbooting, are there any Distros that are super stable, I don't care about using the terminal or ricing I just want it for gaming, something like steamos I am not well read at all on other distros. Ps I am on an all Amd system Alieanware laptop. CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800M, 16gb RAM, SSD
