Hey all, since yesterday I can't play Genshin through Lutris.

Every time I open the launcher and I click start game it closes for a few seconds and then it opens again but the actual game never launches.

I had been playing for about a week or so without problems and I can't use any other launcher because it crashes aswell, Lutris was the only one that worked.

I'm on Fedora 42 and Gnome 48 (I updated yesterday night thinking it might be the reason it wasn't opening but it didn't fix it) I was using Fedora 41 and Gnome 47 when the problem started.

Thanks in advance.

Hello since the game is now open sourced. How can I run it on my linux machine debian 12 KDE right now? I heard that some are working on porting the game to be installed on linux right a way. But I can't wait and I want to play it today.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

i used linux (arch btw) for 6 months here is my 2 cents

• 95% of games run through a compatibility layer and you will see less performance on those titles

• you need to check if games will perform fine or even function at all before buying/downloading

• you will run into niche issues with games and there wont be enough information on how to fix it/what is causing it

• you cant play titles with kernel level anticheat which is fine/perferred for many linux users but might be a deal breaker for some

• you will spend time tinkering with launch options, compatibility layer versions, wine tweaks, things like gamemode, mangohud. I, for one, started to miss the plug and play nature of windows.

I've been trying to get KOTOR 1 + 2 working on my EndeavourOS partition and not having any luck. The Windows versions via proton won't launch at all and while the native version of KOTOR2 launches, it runs at an unplayably low frame rate.

I still have a Xubuntu partition that I'm migrating over from so I decided to try running them there and both native and Windows versions ran flawlessly!

I tried running KOTOR2 from the terminal and on EndeavourOS it logged:

libGL error: glx: failed to create dri3 screen libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau

which it didn't log on Xubuntu.

I've tried a bunch of stuff like switching to different nVidia drivers (nvidia vs nvidia-open), installing Mesa and running with different proton versions without any luck. I'm at a loss for what to try next. The fact that they're running on Xubuntu makes me think that it probably just has some packages that are installed by default that I'm missing from my Endeavour install. Any ideas? Thanks!

I'm using Hyprland on Arch (not sure if the WM is relevant) and I use Lutris/WINE to play my games.

Now, when I'm having a game open on one monitor and move my curser to the other monitor, the audio from the game cuts out (but the game keeps running fine). I play a lot of slow-paced games and being able to tab out while still being able to hear audio alerts is quite important. Is there a way to keep the audio output running when the game window loses focus?

I switched back to windows a couple months ago simply because x11 being too laggy when moving things around, but good for gaming, then wayland being much smoother than x11 but running elden ring like crap for example. How do i fix this problem? i have tried multiple distros like cachyos, nobara, endeavour and kept getting to this conclusion. I have a 4070.

Hello,

I recently installed Ubuntu Server on my server and Mint on my laptop and really stating to enjoy the Linux experience. I'm now looking to adding Linux to my main rig which is still on Windows.

My questions are, I have windows 11 installed today on my main drive. I have 3 other drives which are loaded with games and data. Then I have a 5th drive which is completely empty (2TB).

1. Can I install Mint/POP_OS on my empty drive without causing any issues to my windows drive.

2. Can I use the data (installed games etc.) from current drives on my freshly installed Linux distro?

3. Since the disk is 2TB, can I make a partion (how big for OS?) and use rest as data folder for both OS?

My main usage for Linux would be daily usage but with gaming in focus. So please, any recommendations on distro is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I was thinking of switching to linux. I have i3-1005G1 cpu with 630 UHD igpu with 12 gb ram

I was able to play gta v on windows 11 (not with many fps but it ran at about 30-35 fps. I would say it was smooth experience.)

Would the game run closer to that fps and other games that do not have native support with linux.

Hey, I switched back to windows for a couple of months after using arch for 6 months as a newbie, but i switched back because davinci resolve sucks on linux (i have the studio version as well). But i want to switch back to something that won't make my life harder, but it isn't outdated on stuff, especially Nvidia drivers. Help? or should I go back to arch ( i dont want to things just break so easily lol but it was fun while it lasted)

After Valve announced in January that a public beta of Steam Deck's SteamOS is coming for more handhelds, the initial SteamOS 3.7 Preview added the start of it and now the latest SteamOS 3.7.3 Preview brings more improvements for other handhelds.
