Marvel Midnight Suns won't Launch
Hi, I bought this game fully aware of the minimum requirements but thought it was worth a try. When trying to run through Steam Proton, I get a message about needing a DX11 compatible card. I've had this before on other games so switched from Proton experimental to 7.something. This time I get an "Out of video memory" error message when trying to launch. I've tried a command to stop the 2K launcher from running but it's a shame I can't even get the game to open. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Once Human Hangs on Loading Screen
I built a gaming desktop that runs Fedora Linux XFCE and while trying to play Once Human, my game freezes up and I loose all function of my computer except for my mouse. Even playing in windowed I cannot access any other program and I am forced to hard shutoff and reboot my computer.
I used to not have any FPS in the game but the default proton version fixed that issue for me. I can access the main menu with no problems; the hang happens exclusively when I try to join into a server. I do not use any special launch commands at the moment. Here are my specs:
OS: Fedora Linux 40 (Xfce) x86_64
Host: X670E AORUS PRO X (-CF)
Kernel: Linux 6.10.10-200.fc40.x86_64
Display (VG27WQ1B): 2560x1440 @ 165 H]
DE: Xfce4 4.18
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D (32) @ 5.76 z
GPU 1: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT [Discret]
GPU 2: AMD Raphael [Integrated]
Any help would be appreciated.

Good game performance but not the O.S
Oi mates! So I just installed linux mint cinnamon debian based and the O.S its just so slow, not to the point of crashing everything but damn if it takes time to open stuff. My laptop is old and still uses a mechanical hard drive, but on windows it wasn't that slow, I could do stuff more smoothly. Did I forgot to do something in the installation, I used a bootable USB stick builded with YUMI, and I downloaded and applied all the updates needed which I did from the startup window. My specs: Intel i5 4200u 8gb ddr3 Intel hd 4400 linux Vulkan support 1.0 (I think?)

Dualsense 5 Identity Spoofing
I recently swapped my gaming rig over to Bazzite and it's all been smooth sailing. Absolutely zero issues getting myself reacquainted with Linux and getting set up. Everything works.
However there is one thing I've been trying to find a solution for: Steam seeing my DS5 controller as being hardwired DS4. This isn't a problem for modern games with hardwired DS5 support, but there are some older games (ie: RotR) that only have DS4 support.
In Windows I can use DS4Windows to trick the system into thinking there is a DS4 controller physically plugged in so you get PS glyphs when using Bluetooth specifically. Is there a way to currently do this? Preferably toggleable for games that don't need this workaround.
Much of the information on this topic is quite old and I haven't been able to find a straight answer.
To be clear, all my controllers work just fine. Bluetooth or otherwise. This is strictly about getting PS glyphs using a DS5 in BT mode. I don't want to have to "stuck" with my Xbox or Steam Controller.

Anybody else having only regular Discord load when using Vesktop?
I'm on Mint 21.3 Cinnamon, and Vesktop (system package, NOT the flatpak) started loading regular Discord without any of the Vesktop improvements or plugins last month. I thought that some upstream Discord stuff might've changed and waited for a hotfix to be pushed, but it's been nearly three weeks and no updates have come through, so I'm thinking this is a more specific issue. Can someone point me in the right direction to solving the issue?
Edit: This also happens on the flatpak version.

GoXLR-type experience on Linux?
Howdy folks, new to Linux and considering making the switch. I threw a second SSD into my system and installed Bazzite (then pop_OS, then Nobara, then back to Bazzite). After a bit of playing around I'm quite impressed with the OS, how quick it is, the compatibility/stability and framerates I'm getting in my games, the whole nine yards. I'm almost ready to hop over to using Linux as my primary gaming OS, but for one thing...
I used to stream a lot and got very used to having a hardware mixer on my desk that can route sound to virtual audio devices that are then mixed together into a single output. Originally I was using a GoXLR Mini, but more-recently transitioned to using Voicemeeter Potato with a Turn Up Mixer.
I'm looking to find a similar way to do things on Linux, and I haven't found any good answers. I found Pulsemeeter (no longer under development) which can do the mixing exactly the way that I want, but I don't know how to connect that to a controller. There's also the Deej project, but that appears(?) to only be able to control individual apps rather than virtual audio devices. (If I'm wrong here, I'll just buy a controller from Etsy and call it a day.)
I've tried looking into PipeWire and installed Helvum, and while both of them make my head spin and I genuinely hate the UI, it seems doable... But I still run into the issue of controlling the audio channels via a hardware controller.
Has anyone set up a system like this successfully? My ideal is to split Discord into one channel, FireFox + Cider into a second channel, have the "system" (mostly games) in a third channel, and then my mic gain on a 4th. If anyone has found a solution for this on Linux and could help walk me through it, I would be incredibly grateful!

Elden ring doesn't work after a new patch
Is it just me, or does the game not work for everyone else? I checked ProtonDB, and it seems like other people can run it, but I’m stuck with this anti-cheat problem. (failed to get the process path)
Neither GE nor experimental versions of proton work

Does Steam Input work in non-Steam games for you?
...and if so, what distro?
I've been playing Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst, installed with Lutris then added to Steam, and (mostly) can't get custom controller input to behave, several distros on two devices.
Fedora-Gnome and Garuda gave me similar problems. If I enable SteamInput the game won't respond to any input from the controller, even though controller utility in KDE settings seems fine. If I disable SteamInput, launch game, then the game responds to controller ok. So tab out and re-enable SteamInput, then game responds to controller, and both OSes give a popup about screen sharing, click ok, now it's only semi-functional. The game seems to be trying to register the default button press and the remapped custom input at the same time, with sporadic results.
It's worth mentioning that SteamDeck handles this fine, built-in controller and separate. Also, Nobara 39 has been problem free, which I've been using on my desktop. The other day I upgraded to Nobara 40 and when I launched this game I found a familiar glitch. PSO won't respond to controller with SteamInput enabled... pretty much same behavior described above, no popup message though.
I've tried relogging in with X11 with Fedora and Nobara, no change. Regular Steam games work just fine. I would love to find some solution before I reinstall old Nobara 39. Thank you!

[GUIDE] Running a Fortnite Private Server to play older seasons(and events) in multiplayer on Linux under Wine/Proton
https://reddit.com/link/1fwa4l8/video/37kv3aoo0tsd1/player
Tutorial:
1: Download the Project Reboot launcher from GitHub https://github.com/Auties00/Reboot-Launcher/releases/
2: Run the installer under wine
3: Once its done, depending on your wine version you will get a black screen, to fix this we need to use the latest Proton, or the latest Proton GE, or use wine 9.11
4: The backend is a bit glitchy, only local works and you have to reset it every time you launch it, so go over to the backend tab, press "Reset", then press "Start Backend", you will see it error out, then you need to switch the type to local, and the backend should work.
5: Download the Fortnite season of your choice at an archive, the built in download thing to download Fortnite seasons under wine doesn't work for some reason, I would recommend using https://github.com/simplyblk/Fortnitebuilds as its a pretty big archive.
6: Extract the build you downloaded and keep it somewhere you will remember
7: Add the build to reboot, navigate over to the extracted folder and make sure to point it at the folder with "FortniteGame" and "Engine" in it
8: Go to host, press "Information" and disable "Discoverable", otherwise random people can join your server and in doing so leak your IP
9: Press play, then press "Launch Fortnite" and it should be working! You should see a GUI for the server pop up, once it does wait until you see "Joinable: true", once it does that open the console in the fortnite by pressing f8, then type "open 127.0.0.1" to go into your own server, if you want to go into someone elses server get the IP they are hosting on, and type "open *the ip for the server*"
I hope this helped, if you want your friends to play you have to setup port forwarding or use something like playit, go to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Bwu2pFiFlI and go to 9:04, just follow the instructions for playit, the native linux version works for me when hosting, but running the windows version under wine should work
To run event's for chapter 2(like the one im doing right now), you need to use neonite as the backend, so go over to https://github.com/HybridFNBR/Neonite and download it by doing git clone, cd into the folder and type "npm i", then open up app.js, search for "5595", once you do that change it to 3551, then you can launch reboot and chapter 2 events should be working!
Also I would like to mention some seasons just crash while others don't, I have no idea how to fix it, if you figure out a way please let me know!

MangoHUD overlay not appearing -- running Lego Island 2 on Lutris, Fedora 40, with Vulkan
Hi all, I've spent the last couple hours trying to limit the FPS to fix a physics-based mini-game in Lego Island 2, which I've been running through Lutris, and that finally worked. I was able to solve that by adding key, value pairs in environment variables under System Options of (MANGOHUD, 1) and (MANGOHUD_CONFIG, fps_limit=30).
However, when I try to enable some kind of fps overlay using either the FPS counter (mangohud) toggle under display, or by adding fps_only=1 to the second (key,value) pair, neither of them show anything in the game.
In Googling I've found people saying that fullscreen prevented the overlay from working with OpenGL, but not Vulkan--I tried switching to windowed mode in system options but that didn't seem to change anything, either the overlay appearing or the look of the application at all; I think maybe it opens a second window for the actual game after the first, so the windowed mode only applies to the first one. So that could be the fundamental problem, but not sure.
Has anyone else has had issues with the mangohud overlay not appearing with Vulkan (and maybe Fedora specific? I'm not too well acquainted with how to tell if a problem is likely distro-independent or not)?
