Currently satisfactory is having sub-par performance. I use the in game benchmark to set my graphics settings but turn DLSS to performance instead of balanced, but am only getting 50-55 fps with ~65% GPU usage. I tried turning DLSS off and did get slightly better fps, but they were extremely unstable, dipping to 30 when moving and it was using 95% of my GPU. Running on Proton-GE 10-31, I have NTSYNC enabled. I have gamemode configured to set my CPU to performance and I disabled mangohud to see if it was causing issues. I have tried both the DX12 and Vulkan rendering, Vulkan gave slightly better performance but not by much. I tried FSR with the ROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 launch option, slightly better performance but looks absolutely horrendous.

My current launch options are MANGOHUD=0 gamemoderun gamescope -H 1080 -W 1920 -f -- %command% -vulkan

Hey everyone,

I’ve posted a few times already about a tool I’m working on for the DualSense Edge, and today I finally added full macro support.

You can now:

Bind a macro to any button

Create macros on the fly using a quick recording feature

Quick macros work like this:

Press LFN → macro recording starts

Press LFN again → recording stops, macro is saved and automatically bound to RFN

Pressing LFN again later will overwrite the previous macro with a new one

I also added physical controller blocking for Steam. To make it work properly, you need to launch the app before starting Steam.

⚠️ Right now it needs to be run with sudo because I haven’t figured out a clean way to automatically set the required permissions yet 😅 If anyone knows a better approach (udev rules, etc.), I’d really appreciate the help.

If you’ve got a DualSense Edge, I’d love for you to try it out and share feedback — I want to polish this project and make it solid.

AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ds5-edge-relay

Thanks 🙌

Just wondering if wow is playable again on Kubuntu. It suddenly stopped working On Lutris. Then I jumped the boat back to Win 11. This was about 6-10 months ago. Thanks

I just released Linsips, a free-to-play arcade puzzle game with Steam Achievements and Steam Cloud. The entire game is under 600 KB on SteamOS, built in pure C with SDL 3.4, no engine, no runtime dependencies. Native GNU/Linux, no Proton needed.

Bouncing balls fly around the screen and you place two lines to split them into four equal quadrants. 20 levels, OPL2 FM synth soundtrack, MS-DOS aesthetics. Works on Steam Deck too.

Would love to hear what you think!

Following up on requests from previous posts of mine, specifically u/VtheMan93 I am now writing this one. So to start things off, I would like to mention that I have 2 previous posts here, first and second week of switching from Winshit to Linux and using it for games, mostly. My specs if needed:

GPU: RTX 2070 Super (8GB VRAM) / Ryzen 5 3600 / 16GB RAM 3200 mhz / 1TB SSD + 2TB HDD

So for the past month I had to install Linux for a total of 3 times. I started with Pop_OS! since it was supposed to be ready for games with minimal setup and so on. Now, I am not new to Linux, I used it for work in the webhosting field for a very long time, just never for games. But with the push to shove from Microshit I decided to go all in on my daily driver, and loving it so far. So why the reinstalls? Well, with Pop_OS! everything was fine, until one day the HDD unmounted itself, the Wi-Fi stopped working, and I generally did not like this version with KDE. It showed random errors here and there. For example, the volume bar when increasing and decreasing it stopped showing up. There were random warnings on boot and login, but that might have been caused by the OS and KDE not being 100% compatible or my own gross incompetence and experimenting to have things my way. Either way, I am used to distro hop.

I did not think much about it and simply reinstalled to the latest Fedora version, thinking, cutting edge, better stuff. Fedora is really nice as well, I really liked it, but it did not work for me, because the newest kernel was simply not compatible with my WiFi dongle, that took about 2-3 days of head-bashing to the wall to figure it out. I mean, the dongle could connect the PC to the router, but the connection stopped at pretty much random periods of time. It could be in 5 minutes, it could be in 5 hours. Other devices were not having this issue, so what did I do? I went to the good old Ubuntu with the KDE flavor. Yes, I am really big fan of KDE, its so fucin nice to customize.

And here I am, a month into using Linux for gaming. I feel like with Kubuntu 22.04 I am done with reinstalls since now everything is working like I want it to. After the installation I got Steam to work, from there I mounted by HDD, told Steam about it, and started installing games from it. Nothing special here, but the part when Vulkan configures everything after installation is a bit tedious, though I fully understand the need for that. After all, it does its magic and everything is ready once and for all. Oh, I also installed the appropriate GPU driver prior to steam, which you be the judge of that is "NVIDIA-SMI 580.126.09" right now. So far, no issue and its been more than a week. On Pop_OS! I had Space Marines II with a FPS drop for between 1-3 seconds. This is now gone and the games runs so much better. Monster Hunter Wilds also runs quite well, despite the game being poorly optimized for everyone, but they did fix it a bit a few patches ago. Got older games such as GTA IV and The Witcher III to run on the HDD, a few dependencies here and there got them to run, specially GTA IV with its stupid Rockstar launcher. Through Lutris I got WoW to work, 0 issues in doing that, it just works.

And with that, I am simply wrapping this one up. I never thought that Ubuntu will be the that does it for me, but oh well, as long as it works and I am happy with it. Feel free to ask questions if you have any.

Hello,

I have a big decision to make. I want to switch from Windows to Linux. I work with Linux every day, but my main gaming pc is still Win 11. I think my time has come, and I want to ask you which distro you can recommend or are using right now.

I play games like minecraft, CS2, Finals, Crab Champions, Deadlock and Satisfactory on Epic.
I think I could play every game on Linux, and I have a backup NVMe with Windows for emergencies.

Information about my specs:
ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIFI
GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5080 WINDFORCE OC SFF 16G
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 5.2GHZ AM5 Box
CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL30-36-36-76 1.40V

Thanks for ur recommendations!

Ich nutze eigentlich immer ohne nachzudenken die neueste Version von GE-Proton, weil es die Linux-Gaming-Tutorials so sagen. Valve hat ja seine eigenen Proton-Versionen.

Meine Frage ist jetzt, ob die GE-Proton-Version viel besser ist oder ob es sich nur um kleinere oder kaum spürbare Verbesserungen handelt.

I use ubuntu with cinnamon and I tried to play lego batman with proton 9 I think. The results are terrible, the game runs with 1 frame per 3 seconds. Its is not a hardware issue because the same game in windows ran with 3000 fps. Any suggestions to fix it?

First of all, brand new to linux gaming on cachyos

But is there any input delay and if so how much, between Linux and Windows? The FPS is basically the same between Windows and Linux for me. But I feel like b-hopping is much more difficult on Linux? Like I scroll the mouse wheel but its like it does not register the second jump, or is it just placebo lmao

hi, when I enable lossless scaling in a game or install optiscaler into a game an option to enable HDR in game disappeares.

I toggle "HDR mode" in lsfg but it doesn't help in 95% of cases.

I also tried playing with ge proton and no luck enabling HDR too.

any help would be appreciated

I'm using Bazzite. Steam deck image on PC (boots into gaming mode).

Anyone else using the Intel Arc B580 to game on Linux? Specifically CachyOS. I haven't come across anyone else who is using an Intel GPU and it's a struggle to figure out if any issues I have are GPU or OS related, or something else entirely. Overall, I'm curious about your experience with Arc

Hey everyone. I've been trying to track down why DX12 games (The Finals, Cyberpunk 2077) feel so heavy and laggy when my GPU hits 99-100% load, even with NVIDIA Reflex set to ON.

My Specs: CachyOS (Driver 595.24), i7-11700, RTX 3070, latest proton.

I changed my resolution to 4k to get maximum gpu bottleneck Using smartphone 480 fps camera, I have recorded my mouse click, and monitor. Using Openshot I've calculated how much time is spent from clicking, and character reacting in game.

The Measurements (Average of 5 clicks per scenario): I tested both DX11 and DX12 to see if the translation layer makes a difference.

1. DX11 Game (Overwatch 2 via DXVK) - 100% GPU Load:

Reflex OFF: ~68 ms

Reflex ON: ~11 ms (Reflex works perfectly here, completely bypassing the render queue).

1. DX12 Game (The Finals via VKD3D) - 100% GPU Load:

Reflex OFF: ~70 ms

Reflex ON: ~70 ms (Reflex seems to do absolutely nothing here).

Capped FPS IN GAME (GPU at ~85%): ~15 ms (The only way to get a responsive mouse in this game)

Cyberpunk 2077 seems to have the same problem.

I only have one PC to test this on, I want to ask: Is this a known universal issue with dx12 and NVIDIA Reflex right now? Has anyone else with LDAT or a high-speed camera measured this in DX12 titles? Or perhaps someone can feel the same latency?

Any insights, tests or fixes from others would be greatly appreciated!

Hi!

As the title says, was working fine untill I did a full system update trough pacman. It load's fine untill the storymode should start. I'm on CachyOS, the game is a Fitgilr repack and running it trough Wine 11.4. Thank's for the help, hope someone is smarter than me!
