Weird Issue with WoW and Mouse Inputs on Hybrid Graphics Laptop

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. Oktober 2024 - 21:35

Hello, I am having a weird issue with with WoW and Hybrid Graphics on my laptop.
I have an all AMD laptop (680m iGPU and 7700s dGPU) it's and Asus A16 TUF FA617NT.
I installed WoW through Lutris using the battle.net launcher.
My Problem is that if I am in Hybrid graphics mode (controlled with supergfxctl) and I try to play wow using the dGPU, either through setting environment variable for DRI_PRIME=1 in the config options for Battle.net in Lutris, or chaning the GPU in WoW setting to the dGPU, whenever I click with the mouse the game stops generating frames to the monitor, until I release the mouse inputs, then frame generation proceeds as normal. Obviously this is unplayable since you have to use mouse input to move the camera. I have tried with multiple different wine versions (Proton-GE, default lutris, Wine-Staging, Proton-Experimental) and they all do the same thing.
What fixes it is to enable dGPU mux with supergfxctl, then there is none of the mouse stopping frame generation issues like that.
I would like to not have to reboot the computer each time I decide to play WoW. Other games work in Hybrid mode with the DRI_PRIME=1 env variable set, so I am wondering what is causing WoW specifically to get weird with it.
Any tips from other hybrid graphics laptop users appreciated.

CellSplit - survival 2D arcade game (an open source clone of Agar.io)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. Oktober 2024 - 21:15

CellSplit is a multiplayer game where you play as a cell that can grow and attack other cells.

You can attack by splitting in the direction of the victim but beware that it will make you more vulnerable from other players who would like to do the same to you. There are various strategies how to survive and thrive in a hostile environment of everyone wanting to eat each other.

It is an open source clone of Agario game. The main feature is a strong support for moderation to solve the problem with teamers and griefers that plague the original game.

You can play directly in the browser or download the Linux version (also available for Windows and MacOS).

Visit the CellSplit homepage for more details. You can also join our Discord server.

FPS drops in certain games after a Linux update?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. Oktober 2024 - 21:02

Hello, so I am currently using Nobara Liunux and I've been playing games on it for a while. I noticed after an update around a month or so ago 2 games in particular have really bad FPS drops. SF6 and Tekken 8. I don't know why, my other games work fine, however these 2 in particular have really bad FPS drops.

This doesn't happen in Windows and my PC is more than strong enough to handle almost anything. I heard it may be due to something called Splitlock protection? I'm not sure.

Operating System: Nobara Linux 40
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2
Kernel Version: 6.11.3-200.fsync.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core Processor
Memory: 31.1 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor:
AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
Manufacturer: ASUS

Performance with NVIDIA GPU and Hyprland

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. Oktober 2024 - 19:28

So, today I installed Hyprland, together with the MW4L Dotfiles. Looks and feels pretty amazing. However, when I was trying to play a couple of games, it felt that I have quite a bit of bad performance compared to Plasma.

Shouldn’t really be a driver issue due to me running Arch - and I heard a lot about people using Gamescope to fix performance issues. But I hardly find any write downs.

What is your experience with Hyprland and Gaming Performance? Any pointers?

Registry editing in Bottles

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. Oktober 2024 - 18:12

Steam Deck is the system here.

So, I'm trying to registry edit a game called Buzz Lightyear of Star command to get past it's CD check, the problem is, I don't think I know the proper way to write out the pathing? To my knowledge, Bottles is contained in it's own thing and is only reading stuff from within it, so if I try to copy and past the path which in this case is /home/deck/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/Buzz-Lightyear-of-Star-command/drive_c/Program Files/Disney Interactive/Buzz Lightyear of Star Command/ data, the path starts outside of the bottle. So, where do I cut this path off to be read?

/home/deck/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/Buzz-Lightyear-of-Star-command/drive_c/Program Files/Disney Interactive/Buzz Lightyear of Star Command/data

/home/deck/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/Buzz-Lightyear-of-Star-command/drive_c/Program Files/Disney Interactive/Buzz Lightyear of Star Command

Both of the paths shown above need to be hooked into path and cd path, so would anyone be willing to format this correctly for me and explain as to why it needs to be the way it is for future reference?

Does Linux fix the massive stutter issues from the FF7 Remake port?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. Oktober 2024 - 17:55

On Windows, the FF7 Remake port has massive stuttering issues that require you to use a mod called FFVIIHook and to make some .ini tweaks through this guide.

Does Linux eliminate the need for this at all?

Its hard

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. Oktober 2024 - 17:34

I'm a Systems engineer, I have studied OS and Linux

My manager gift me an hp with an nvidia graphics card installed nobara just for the journey (I have a desktop pc with windows)

It's been 4 weeks and I can only play some videogames

I downloaded a fit girl repack just for fun and tried to install it but I can't

In your experience this is difficult for you? Or the distro I choose it's bad? Or the laptop it's not capable of gaming on Linux

I tried bottles it won't run Lutris And I have to download a lot of packets

And I just can't get things done

Games like COD Zombies that work on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. Oktober 2024 - 17:21

hello people :), saw a friend play Zombies and it reminded me that i really liked that gamemode.

does anyone know of any games like it (whether in the COD franchise or not) that work on Linux, either natively or through Proton?

Deep Rock Galactic somewhat scratches the itch for me, but i'd like something closer to the movement and gunplay of COD as well

cheers everyone! :D

how does bottles set gstreamer?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. Oktober 2024 - 17:14

i want to play using wine without bottles or any other gui and i keep getting gstreamer errors but when i try to run the game with bottles it runs without problems.

yes i know this is unnecessary and i should just run the game with bottles, but i don't want to, i want to try to setup stuff myself to run without needing gui apps like bottles,lutris,steam,etc ... etc.

im on ach linux and i use a nvida card.

error that i get:

winegstreamer error: qtdemux0: Internal data stream error. winegstreamer error: qtdemux0: ../gstreamer/subprojects/gst-plugins-good/gst/isomp4/qtdemux.c(7423): gst_qtdemux_loop (): /GstBin:bin0/GstDecodeBin:decodebin0/GstQTDemux:qtdemux0: streaming stopped, reason not-negotiated (-4) submitted by /u/Mr_Draxs

Controller support on Heroic Games Launcher

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. Oktober 2024 - 16:56

I'm trying to use a PS5 controller on HGL (Latest Flatpak version) with Proton-GE but only the keyboard works. When I use Wine-GE 8.26 the controller works perfectly. I keep reading that Proton does not handle the controller like Wine would but i'm pretty sure it worked for me through Lutris (I can't use Lutris anymore since it updated the runtime components about a month ago so I can't test anymore through that). I have tried to install Proton with ProtonUp-QT and through HGL, I tried to use steam runtime in HGL, I deactivated Steam completely, I enabled UMU as Proton runtime in the advanced tab but none of these worked for me. (I want to depend on Steam the least possible so I haven't tried to install as a non-Steam game. I might do it if all else fails but if I can avoid it I would very much appreciate)

Does anyone have any ideas as to what else I could try?

Using Linux Mint 22
Kernel 6.8.0
Nvidia Driver 550
PS5 Controller
