Question regarding on-board mouse profiles with a non-Linux compatible mouse

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Mai 2025 - 15:13

Going to switch to Linux soon. (First timer here.)

From what I gathered, my mouse (Roccat Kone XP Air) isn't supported by Piper or Eruption.

Here's my question: assuming I set up different profiles in Windows and save them as on-board profiles, will they still work in Linux? I would also set the profile switch action to one of the buttons.

The profiles and key bindings should be saved on the on-board memory, but I wonder if they will still be detected under Linux.

If anyone has any experience with a similar setup, please let me know. Any help or insight is appreciated in advance!

GE-Proton10-2 Released

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Mai 2025 - 14:00

GE-Proton10-2 Released

Repository: GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom · Tag: GE-Proton10-2 · Commit: b454e49 · Released by: GloriousEggroll

Hotfix release:

Fixes missing comma in proton script causing prefix issues (this was also a valve upstream issue) Fixes accidental import of the steam ffmpeg libraries instead of the ones we build and ship (this was an accidental copy/paste when porting changes from Proton 10) -- this should fix video playback in a lot of titles as they worked in proton 9 Removes setting ENABLE_HDR_WSI -- this option is only specific for the vk_hdr_layer (https://github.com/Zamundaaa/VK_hdr_layer) hack, which is -not- needed as of mesa 25.1 and can cause washed out colors. If you previously used this, it's advised to remove it, and update mesa to 25.1 if you want HDR. added a few patches for allowing more launchers to work in wayland (epic, battlenet, star citizen) added patch to allow 32 bit EOS overlay to work for Among Us. added raw input patches for winewayland (un-accelerated mouse) added touchpad scrolling support patch for winewayland xalia library updates imported from upstream dxvk updated to latest git vkd3d-proton updated to latest git

This release has 6 assets:

GE-Proton10-2.sha512sum GE-Proton10-2.tar.gz GE-Proton10-2.tar.zst SHA256SUMS Source code (zip) Source code (tar.gz)

Can't Get Nvidia Proprietary Drivers Working With Weird PC Config

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Mai 2025 - 12:59

Hello, I've been stuck with this issue for a day and half now so any help would be greatly appreciated.

This config worked for some time on my last Fedora install (with 550 proprietary driver) but I need to reinstall the OS and it just doesn't want to work in any way I've tried so far:

  • I've tried various distros: Arch, EndevaourOS, Mint, Fedora (Workstation & KDE Plasma Edition), they all will fail to work correctly after installing the proprietary drivers, with nouveau they at least booted
  • I would like to use Fedora if possible
    • I've tried using drivers from both RPMFusion & Nvidia's own site (550 and 570)
    • I've tried to add this into a modprobe.d config file:options nvidia NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus=1
    • I've tried using both X and Wayland
  • I've disabled Secure Boot
    • I've also tried using CSM instead of UEFI Booting, disabling SVM mode and memory fast boot but these didn't help so I've reverted them
  • Most of the times what happens after installing the new drivers and rebooting:
    • nvidia-smi doesn't recognize the device
    • nvidia-settings doesn't show any useful information
    • display gets stretched (runs at 720p on my 3440x1440p 21:9 monitor)
    • Sometimes black screens / desktop freezes also happened
  • I've ran some commands and tried searching for a bit on forums as well, maybe this is helpful information:

My PC specs are:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700x3D
  • GPU: Nvidia RTX 3080Ti Mobile ("Chinese AliExpress/Ebay Special")
  • RAM: Mixed G.Skill 2x8GB + Kingston 2x4GB (running at the Kingston's lower speed I think)
  • Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max (BIOS Version: E7C02AMS.3K2, Build Date: 08/30/2024)
  • Storage: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB Nvme Drive + 240GB Crucial SATA SSD

PCSX2 Wayland performance issues

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Mai 2025 - 11:57

I've installed PCSX2 on my system to play some games and was quite disappointed by the fact that it runs worse than on Windows (example: speed drops from 100% to 75% all the time in Midnight Club 3). After some time of googling I've found out that the issue is Wayland support that was added not too long ago. Tested on X11 and it works flawlessly. Question is: is there some way of running PCSX2 on wayland without performance loss or I need to switch to X11 every time I want to play?

Gaming PC for sofa gaming or maybe console?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Mai 2025 - 11:03

Hi, has anyone tried hooking up a PC to a living room TV? Is it as seamless as using a console? I’m thinking of building a PC and installing Bazzite or SteamOS. Console game prices get expensive in the long run, and I already have a big library on Steam, Epic, and GOG — not to mention 🏴‍☠️.

Right now, I have a laptop with a 3060, but gaming at desk is not enjoyable on weekdays. Plus, the constant Windows 11 updates make me lose interest in gaming altogether. I’m okay with tweaking and modding stuff on weekends. Surprisingly not many guides on youtube about this.

I’m comfortable playing with either a keyboard and mouse or a controller from the sofa / recliner. So, is this setup feasible? Or should I just forget it and get a PS5 instead?

Game freezes after a while when using prime-run on wine.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. Mai 2025 - 09:58

I am trying to play Dark Souls III.

My OS is : Arch
My GPU is : Nvidia Geforce 920MX.

When i use wine game.exe , the game runs fine but it uses the iGPU instead of the dGPU so the performance is terrible

using prime-run wine game.exe , the game uses the dGPU but it freezes after a couple of minutes.

Is prime-run the improper way of getting wine to use the dGPU?
