Silksong Native Linux Port Controller Question

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11. September 2025 - 08:01

So I have an 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless controller (supports 2.4GHz and BT) that I was using in both modes on the native linux build on bazzite. However, for whatever reason the LT and RT (dash) buttons do not work or rarely work properly. There is also issues with scrolling the inventory as well for RB and LB but those work perfect outside of it. These issues disappeared only after connecting an xbox controller wired. But that one has an issue where if I disconnect or reconnect it, it also exhibits the same issue as my 8BitDo.

I've tried disabling steam input and such but to no effect for the linux build version. I've also made sure the controller was independent of the issue by checking on the 1st game's linux version and it works flawless there.

The only sure way I got it working was switching to proton but that's not really the native linux build. I am fine with that but I would like to know first if people have had this issue as well. Are there solutions to it? How likely is it that Team Cherry will resolve these inconsistencies for the linux version?

Running Minecraft Bedrock on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11. September 2025 - 05:45

The latest minecraft bedrock preview has a change that could make it easier to run this game via stuff like proton. Theyre finally moving the game from UWP to GDK (Game development kit)

The first build is the latest minecraft preview for windows as of 11/9/2025

So, im wondering, will this make it easier to run the Windows version of it on linux? im not a pro at linux or anything, i just switched cuz microsoft is bad. but i do like the bedrock edition in addition to java

i think GDK will make it more win32 like, so with wine and proton, could it run? yes, it does need xbox services, but atleast the base game being GDK should help

link, if it helps

GDK Update on Windows Minecraft Preview now runs on the latest GDK (Game Development Kit) This update aligns the game with the standard distribution model on Windows platforms File paths have been updated and upon first install load of this version of Minecraft Preview, your existing Minecraft worlds and content will shift to: %APPDATA%\Minecraft Bedrock Preview Some players will still receive the UWP version of Minecraft Preview as this slowly rolls out for testing If you encounter issues, please report them at bugs.mojang.com.

by the way, if this is the wrong place to post this, tell me, im a noob

EDIT: Sorry, i found that this is a duplicate one of [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux\_gaming/comments/1ncw91d/minecraft\_bedrock\_win10\_is\_now\_a\_win32gdk\_app/). sorry i posted without reading. dont calcel me (i dont know how things go on here)

Computer Display Freezes When Launching Games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11. September 2025 - 05:17

I recently used some of the hardware in my PC to test against my wife's broken PC to find what was wrong. Now, when I try to launch games I get this black screen on my primary monitor and green on my secondary and all the fans on my case and GPU keep spinning at full speed. I then normally have to force shutdown with the power button and drain flea power to get it to boot normally. Does anyone know where I should start for debugging?

Joy-Con connection issues on Linux Mint 22.2 (5.14 kernel)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11. September 2025 - 04:14

I tried to connect my Joy-Con pair to my machine running Linux Mint 22.2.

It seemed to work initially and my machine said that it connnected, but I noticed that the lights on the Joy-Con are still blinking (as if it's in pairing mode) and there doesn't seem to be any data being transmitted (based on what Bluetooth Manager is showing). If I turn off Bluetooth and turn it on again, then connect the controllers, sometimes it will say there's an input/output error, other times the Joy-Con repeatedly connect and disconnect.

I already tried to upgrade kernel from 6.8 to 6.14 and it didn't change anything.

I'm using the built-in WiFi/Bluetooth from an ASUS TUF GAMING B850M-PLUS WIFI.

Dota 2 launches but gets stuck on the intro Dota logo - Arch - reboot fixes it

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11. September 2025 - 01:49

On Arch Linux, Dota 2 launches and then freezes at the very first Dota/intro logo. If I reboot the PC, it launches fine afterwards. I've been running Dota 2 flawlessly for the past 2 years...

What I’ve tried (each tried separately):

  • Launch options: -novid -autoconfig
  • One-time OpenGL test: -gl -novid
  • Disabled overlays/layers: toggled off Steam Overlay; launched with MANGOHUD=0 ENABLE_VKBASALT=0 VK_LAYER_PATH= VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS= %command% -novid
  • Cleared shader cache: removed
  • Verified game files in Steam
  • Fully quit Steam and killed leftovers (pkill -9 steamwebhelper gameoverlayui pressure-vessel dota2)
  • Tried forcing Proton Experimental for Dota
  • I’m using the Steam runtime (not steam-native-runtime)
My system
  • Distro: Arch Linux (fully updated)
  • Kernel: (current Arch stable; 6.16.5-arch1-1)
  • DE: KDE Plasma 6.4.4
  • CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (proprietary driver) Driver Version: 580.82.07
  • RAM: 32 GB

Anyone can help me please?

Genshin on Linux: what's the current status?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11. September 2025 - 01:44

I'd like to put Bazzite on the spare-parts desktop I've hooked to my TV. The only piece of software that still ties me to Windows on that machine is Genshin Impact. I know that it's possible to run on Linux but finding up to date and reliable information on the topic is kinda hard, even with a good grasp of the search tool. I've found stuff about the Steam Deck, not a lot about desktop distros, and the few things I've managed to gather are all over the place and often already out of date.

What's the current status of running Genshin (and other Mihoyo titles) on a Linux desktop? What's the recommended method to install it? A dedicated launcher like Twintail Launcher (the anime game launcher seems to not be maintained anymore), a tool like Lutris or something else for installing Windows apps and running them via Steam? Are bans still a thing (if they ever were)? I've read that Mihoyo's actually been doing some Steam Deck/Linux specific bugfixes recently, is that true?

Testing new Linux distro. I have a feeling that Steam OS will be similar to this one.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11. September 2025 - 01:10

Arch based but no pacman. Only way to install software is via flatpacks using Discover app.
I know that many Linux users hate such approach.

I'm not here to judge but to learn. I donate monthly to a completely different distro. Polar opposite. But I try to be open minded.

Kernel level anticheat and Linux based systems

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. September 2025 - 23:31

Hi,

so I know there streaming services and other dual booting stuff, but for me it's an personal challenge. Is there any way to bypass kernel level anticheats like EAC? I know for most people the anwser is obvious so ye you can keep scrolling, but I believe there is an way it's only matter to figure it out. I know it is stupid naive to think that way, but if cheaters can bypass this obstacle then also we as linux users also can.

Feeling incompetent

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. September 2025 - 23:02

Hi !

I have skill issues which make me feel dumb but I need an outer look.

I recently had an issue on my Ubuntu: no more internet driver. I couldn't get internet even through USB tethering. -> ok, time for backup and fresh install.

I have a Ubuntu 22.04 installer USB key. I get my os up and running in one hour, steam installed in 2, and crusader kings III installed in 3. I wanted to play it since it worked on my previous install. -> but no ! Exit code 139 and nothing more.

I tried various Proton versions (not eggroll though), various GPU driver: nothing worked.

Aside of this, I work in IT. But not being able to install a game on a fresh install make me question my whole career.

Any thoughts?

My knowledge-gate game coming to Linux!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. September 2025 - 21:58

I was encouraged to share here a while ago, but I wanted to wait until I've had some playtesting done on Linux machines. I just started my first round of playtests, and things look good!

Flux Empyrean is a metroidbrainia game inspired by Outer Wilds and similar titles. You sail across a massive ocean planet, navigating by the stars and solving mysterious embedded in every location. Each place you visit ties into another in some way, creating a massive network of knowledge to uncover.

I also have a very rudimentary CLI implemented for some of the puzzle ingame! I think it is pretty cool :)

I am happy to answer any questions as well, although maybe not at the fastest rate. College is busy!

If you want to check out more, you can see Flux Empyrean on Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3843410
