[Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 ReMix] KH1 crashes when going through doors in Traverse Town

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Juli 2025 - 23:49

Title says it all. I seem to be the only one running into this issue, as everyone else seems to agree that it works perfectly out of the box. I'm currently running EndeavourOS with Hyprland on an NVIDIA 4070 GPU and an AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX CPU. I'm also running a texture mod that replaces the AI-upscaled textures with the ones that were present before they were added. Is this a known issue? If so, is there a fix for it?

Trying to make a Minecraft server in Debian for LAN play

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Juli 2025 - 23:22

I'm sorry if this post doesn't fit the sub's theme, but I'm not sure where to ask this. Please remove it if it doesn't belong.

I set up a minecraft server in a Debian 12 machine with 4GB of dedicated RAM. I can always connect to the server, but with a PC connected with Ethernet to the same switch than the server it works flawlessly, but when I want to connect with another PC using WIFI or ZeroTier, I can connect but I can't interact with the world, and after a few seconds I get disconnected with a net error: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset. Both of these PCs use Windows 10

I use the port 25565 and have allowed the firewall in these ports, I have a stable WIFI connection and when pinging the server I get on average 3ms and no packets lost. The server has 8GB of ram and its processor is an AMD A10-8750 Radeon R7.

Am I going to be forced to be connected via Ethernet or am I doing something wrong? I wanted to use the server with ZeroTier so my friends can join remotely.

lsfg-vk doesn't work with minecraft ?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Juli 2025 - 23:18

Hello,

i have try lsfg-vk with some game and it seems to work fine, but I can't get it to work with minecraft.

I saw in the wiki that it's not totally compatible because minecraft runs under openGL.
There is a mod or emulator to run minecraft under vulkan and make it recognized by lsfg ?

Thanks for the help ;)

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth epic games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Juli 2025 - 22:27

Made the switch from windows to linux for my main gaming rig at home.

So far most of my games work I have tried without any fuss. EXCEPT for the new FF7 games which I own on epic. I am able to install games from epic, and get others to run. However the FF7 games just show a black screen. No title screen or anything. If I open the .exe for either of them directly it will launch then complain I haven't run them from the epic launcher.... So far this is the only two games that I feel the need to retain a windows partition for.

Computer specs:

5800x3d

32gb ram

9070xt

2tb nvme main drive

Linux Mint 22.1 running the xanmod mainline kernel with most current mesa for the 9070xt support

Slow download speed on Steam only with EndeavourOS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Juli 2025 - 20:47

I've tried everything on this section of the Arch wiki, but nothing is working. I can download things at around 20-25MB/s on my web browser, bittorrent software, other game launchers etc, but on Steam it's consistently only hovering around 2-5MB/s.

I've used Nobara for a month before switching to EndeavourOS and this has never been an issue on there, so something weird is going on. If anyone has any suggestions to fix this, then let me know.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Juli 2025 - 19:24

Hello beautiful Linux users, future arch Linux user here. The recent news of Microsoft killing support for windows 10 and SomeOrdinaryGamers I’ve been inspired to give Linux a try. What’s holding me back currently is all the games on Xbox game pass ultimate. Would I be able to set up a windows VM and get good game performance? Thanks!

I've just installed Bazzite but whenever I try to start a game nothing happens, it refuses to launch. Any ideas?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Juli 2025 - 17:53

Its a clean install of Bazzite, and the only game that will run is Team Fortress 2.
