What can I do? Pop OS vs Valorant.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. September 2025 - 17:17

Hi everyone. This is J0hri, I hope you are having a good day. I've used ubuntu in past for casual purpose but this time I wanted to game, So I researched and found out that Pop_OS is good distro for gaming and installed it. Now there's a problem: I play Valorant frequently and that requires Secure Boot Onn(on windows). And it's well known that Pop_OS requires Secure Boot Off. So, 1. Is there a work arround so I can keep both pop_OS and Valorant(on windows) working? 2. If not with pop OS then which distro would be suitable?

ER Nightreign Crashing On Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. September 2025 - 15:55

Hi everyone,

got a question about specific game , elden ring nightreign , on my pc i5-14400F , 32 gig 5600 ram and rtx 4060 , this game is constantly crashing ( system is perfectly stable and cool and nightreign does not even fully use resources ) , I've tried everything short of installing windows ( not an option , I'd rather give up one game albeit a fun one, than linux ) , tried all possible launch options , proton versions from 7 to hotfix to GE , Nvidia drivers from 550 to 580 open and closed , X11 and wayland and so on. Like literally everything. Now , if it's the game , I'll just accept it and put it away, but thing is on protondb reviews are fine, no one complains about crashes.

So here's my question has anyone tried ER nightreign with Nvidia ? did it crash ?

thanks for any info in advance and sorry for the rant

Question: What would be better... would you be interested in receiving internal pre-demonstration builds of my game along with public playtesting as a retrospective? Note: Builds are only available as deb packages for Linux.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. September 2025 - 15:39

Hi all.
I'm developing an open-world game, and the first playtest is about to begin (we're waiting for Steam's approval). Although the playtest will only be available as a sandbox without specific gameplay, a tremendous amount of effort was put into this build because the game doesn't use any major commercial engines.

Personally, I'm very interested in seeing how products evolve from a mess into something compelling. Perhaps you would find this interesting as well? The thing is, the old builds were made exclusively for Linux for internal use. They weren't daily builds but rather specific releases with huge changelogs. There are only four of them, so it wouldn't be a problem to go through each one.

So, if you're interested, I'd be happy to publish them and hear your thoughts. Even if you think the game is terrible—which is a possibility, since it's a game without a good budget, any budget at all—that's fine. It should help me fix critical issues so that your opinion can be changed.

So, I'm looking forward to your responses.

potential fix for cs2 on wayland

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. September 2025 - 15:14

after installing steam from the fedora repo and installing native cs2, my game would always segfault right after the valve splash-screen. reinstalling the game, verifying files, setting sdl to use wayland, disabling the steam overlay ,nothing would fix it.

i then decided to install the steam flatpak from the flathub repo and it completely fixes all my problems. game runs ~ 160fps, steam overlay works perfectly fine, stretched res works and 0 crashes at all. no proton at all, still native

my specs for reference:

OS: Fedora Linux 42
DE: KDE Plasma 6.4.4
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5-1650 v4 (12) @ 4.00 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 12GB

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command%, removes steam overlay. any fix ?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. September 2025 - 13:38

Hi

So when I run a game on steam with this launch option PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command%

I cant use steam overlay in game.

That means if a game needs the overlay to invite friends or something, like in deep rock galactic (and other) the game/s just freezes.

Is there a way to get the overlay back while playing on "pure" wayland ?

or is it still to early for wayland ?

Borderlands 4 dlss and frame gen texture flickering issues

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. September 2025 - 11:21

Has anyone else encountered this? If so have you found a fix? This doesn't happen using other upscaling methods but then I can't use frame gen and the game runs like ass. I am using the latest drivers for rtx 4080 super and playing on kubuntu. I am using proton experiemental and haven't tried changing it yet as I read it can cause issued with the game.

Sorry for the found footage video. The issue doesn't show in a screen shot and obs was acting up.

Edit: It does happen on all the upscaling methods it is just less noticeable, but makes the game look like toned down tv static.

Question

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. September 2025 - 09:03

In a future where ARM becomes the dominant PC architecture, do you think Valve would still provide backward compatibility for older x86 games — even if Gabe Newell has stepped down, the Steam Deck didn’t really take off, but the Steam storefront itself is still running smoothly?

Uploaded videos to steam chat won't play

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. September 2025 - 07:51

After reinstalling Arch, I noticed steam chat will no longer plays uploaded videos. They just show up as blank gray rectangles. Other embedded content works as it should, like youtube videos for example. Also, I'm using the Steam package from the Arch repo, not the flatpak.

GuliKit ES controller pairs on Ubuntu 25.04 but no input (no /dev/input/js0)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. September 2025 - 04:37

Hey everyone, I recently picked up the newly-released Gulikit ES controller. I was excited to try it out on my Ubuntu laptop when I ran into a major issue. Despite pairing and connecting to the controller over Bluetooth, no input is being detected (in either PC or Switch mode). I then noticed that "js0" is missing from /dev/input/ when connected via Bluetooth (but not USB). I’ve already upgraded the firmware to the latest version (3.1) and tried re-pairing multiple times, but the problem persists.

The controller works just fine when connected to the laptop via USB, or even with Bluetooth on my Android phone.

Has anyone faced a similar issue? Could you point me towards where the problem might be?

Much appreciated!

System: Ubuntu 25.04, kernel 6.14.0-29-generic.

Does anyone know how to change the default executable on Minigalaxy?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. September 2025 - 03:09

I just installed Batman Arkham Asylum through Minigalaxy, but whenever I press play it pulls up the install program for PhysX instead of the games launcher. I combed through the preferences menu to see if I could change the default executable to the launcher but I cant find an option for it anywhere. Does anyone else know how to do this, or if its even possible to do?
