Games missing the correct resolution (wayland). But the resolution is seem correctly in the OS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. Juli 2025 - 16:39

Running Fedora KDE

Have 2 3440x1440 21:9 monitors

the system sees the resolution at the OS level and its set correctly

But when I launch a game I am not getting any 21:9 options

Doesn’t matter if full screen or not, proton version, etc

Nvidia drivers are up to date

Scaling 100% vs 150% or any other scaling % makes no difference.

Apps scale themselves vs system scaled makes no difference.

I ran xrandr and this is what shows up

As you can see, the OS sees the right resolution

I even tried adding a custom 3440x1440 resolution to xrandr

nothing seems to work unfortunately.

I did finally get games to run at 3440x1440 by forcing via gamescope launch option. But then I lose HDR.

gamescope -w 3440 -h 1440 -r 165 -f -- %command%

[ProtonGE-10-9] Invisible window on Darktide and potential regression issue

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. Juli 2025 - 16:06

I've attempted to play Warhammer 40k: Darktide with ProtonGE-10-9 to try nvsync after previously using ProtonGE-10-4. I've set my flags in Steam to "gamemoderun DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080" %command%", first without the nvsync flag for testing.

While the initial two windows (Launch window to hit Play and shader compilation progress bar) appear as expected, the game itself seems to be missing an actual window. I still hear the sounds however and can indirectly interact with the game.

No combination of flags resolved the issue on ProtonGE-10-9.

fastfetch output:

According to the proton log, there seems to be a regression issue: https://pastebin.com/zntG1Z89

With the log being flooded with errors like this:

Did application forget to acquire?

Is there a known workaround or do I need to stay on an earlier version of ProtonGE until this is fixed?

I made a desktop pet with my bro in Godot that works natively on Linux!: "Dotami-vrm". Let us know what you guys think! (free demo available)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. Juli 2025 - 15:27

Hiya!

Here is the link if you wanna check it out: https://sabresnout.itch.io/dotami-vrm

You can download the free demo and check if it works on your specific system, any feedback is greatly appreciated!

So, a little more info:

We started working on games quite some time ago but this is a first bigger release.

I'm a long time Linux user (trying hard to convert my brother), i used mostly Lubuntu but now use Kubuntu. I always wanted a desktop pet i could use on my main work PC, but there weren't any available for Linux that allowed uploading custom models and felt more like a tamagotchi of sorts than a simple desktop gimmick, i wanted to be able to interact (pet and feed) and play with the character, so i told my bro "let's make a desktop pet!" (he does the engine work in Godot, I do the visuals: animation, models etc. - for now, as i want to learn Godot).

A little more about the game itself:

It was made in Godot 4 and we actively work on it in our free time since we both use it.

You can upload your own .vrm models (vtuber standard) just drag and drop the file, pet, feed, hold hands, move the character on screen, sit on taskbar (height is adjustable in settings), spawn pillows that character can sit on (you can move them around), play minigames like mixing food and rock-paper-scissors, do self care exercises like breathing and focused work, change outfits and color them (characters too!) and set alarms!

Game adjusts itself procedurally to the uploaded models for maximum compatibility (colliders, reaching etc.)

There are 2 included characters, both can be RGB colored and can have their outfits switched.

We plan to add more minigames, interactions, exercises and features in general, maybe more characters?

We tested it on many distros and desktop environments, you can find the full list in the game's community page.

I hope you'll like our desktop pet and if you have any questions, ask away! We'd love to hear what you think!

TLDR: Some guys made a desktop pet with custom models that works natively on Linux.

Are there any Nvidia friendly distros? I've had driver issues on multiple distros.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. Juli 2025 - 14:41

So I do not want to use Windows 11, so have been looking at Linux and just love the concept of it over Windows, or Mac. I care a lot about CUDA and RTX and frankly am not up for buying a new GPU right now. So, I have tried Zorin OS, Linux Mint and Kubuntu. The worst issues came from Zorin OS, which sucks because I really like the look of the distro. In Zorin OS no matter if I install the latest drivers, or even older drivers once I login my monitor stops working. I CAN play games after a clean Zorin OS install since it comes with Nvidia drivers, but I can't change my refresh rate and I'm locked into the drivers it installs with. On Linux Mint the drivers will actually install, but on the newest drivers I can't change my refresh rate. If I go to slightly older drivers, they install fine and I can change my refresh rate, but I can't use LACT because the "management library" is missing. On Kubuntu, the drivers work perfectly, but doing a driver update bricks my internet. I'm wondering if this might be an issue with Ubuntu, or Debian based distros. I have only used Ubuntu based distros, because I heard they are the most compatible with software.

Battlefront 2 (2017) not launching with gamescope, is it because of the EA launcher?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. Juli 2025 - 13:05

I'm trying to use gamescope with Battlefront 2 (2017), because normally on Hyprland, if a match starts while the game is not focused, the audio glitches out. I thought gamescope would fix this issue, because with gamescope, the audio of the game doesn't cut out when the game loses focus.

I got gamescope working with other games, but with Battlefront 2, the game never launches. Here are the logs

https://pastebin.com/MsqMatLQ

This is the launch options I'm using in Steam:

gamescope -W 2560 -H 1600 -r 240 -f --force-grab-cursor -- offload %command%

(offload is just a wrapper that makes the game use the Nvidia GPU)

I assume it is supposed to work because Battlefront 2 does work on Steam Deck and Steam Deck uses gamescope, so I'd appreciate any help!

P.S I am using an older version of gamescope (3.16.4) because for some reason, the newer versions just don't work in Hyprland (as mentioned here). I've also had to patch it to use my integrated graphics instead of the Nvidia dGPU to fix the issue mentioned here.

Proton does not work on AntiX

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. Juli 2025 - 12:58

Hello, I have an intel hd graphics 400 video card and a Linux AntiX operating system with 6.15.6.1 liquorix kernel. I wanted to run the game via proton (for the test I run Half Life 2 but I plan other games), on ge proton 9 and 10 does not run, even with the old dxvk and with running through wined3d, on the old original proton 5 with wined3d the game ran but very long, with large freezes and 20 fps, ge proton old did not run stupidly long startup. I have Vulkan 1.2. Mesa has been updated to the latest version. (testing 25.0.7-2). Also tried to bind dxvk dll via protontricks that didn't help either. What can you recommend for fixing the Proton? (Other than replacing the video card).
