7700k 64GB RAM Nvidia 3070

Tried to play Fallout 76 and the game stutters like crazy and eventually the screen went black.

When it came back, the game crashed (wine error?) and it showed this.

Note that the GPU never showed any issues with Windows.

Help! Steam Broke After Ubuntu 25.04 Update - Games Not Launching (KDE Wayland, AMD RX 7900XT)

Hey r/linux_gaming, I'm at my wit's end here and hoping someone can shed some light on this issue. As I posted previously here, Steam has stopped working for me since installing recent updates (about three weeks ago).

My Setup:

• OS: Ubuntu 25.04 64-bit (KDE Wayland)
• Steam Installation: apt install steam-installer
• Graphics Card: AMD RX 7900 XT
• Mesa Versions Tried: Downgraded from 25.0.7 to 25.0.3 (the one in the main repo)
• Kernel Versions Tried: Downgraded to linux-image-6.14.0-15

The Problem:

When I try to launch any game via Steam, it gets stuck in the "launching game" state for a while, and then just quits. This happens regardless of the Proton version I use (I've tried Proton 9.0-4 and Proton Experimental).

What I've Tried (and Gemini's Analysis):

I enabled debug logs using PROTON_LOG=1 STEAM_RUNTIME=1 LD_PRELOAD= %command% and sent them to Gemini for analysis. Here's the summary:

Current Analysis from Gemini:

• Proton Version: Successfully using Proton: 1749140930 proton-9.0-4f.
• Persistent Service Issues: PlugPlay and winebus services are still failing to start, suggesting an underlying problem with the Wine prefix or Proton's interaction with system devices.
• New Crash Type: Seeing EXCEPTION_PRIV_INSTRUCTION and EXCEPTION_SINGLE_STEP errors. These indicate the game is attempting to execute instructions requiring higher privileges or instructions not allowed in user mode, pointing to low-level execution problems.
• Critical Graphics Error: Frequent err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow messages are appearing. This is significant, as it means Proton cannot load a graphics driver or create a window for the game, which is a primary reason for launch failures.

My Troubleshooting Steps So Far:

• Mesa Downgrade: I manually downgraded Mesa from 25.0.7 to 25.0.3 (the version in the main repo) using the following commands. This did not help. bash sudo apt update && \ sudo apt install \ libegl-mesa0=25.0.3-1ubuntu2 \ libegl-mesa0:i386=25.0.3-1ubuntu2 \ libgl1-mesa-dri=25.0.3-1ubuntu2 \ libgl1-mesa-dri:i386=25.0.3-1ubuntu2 \ libglx-mesa0=25.0.3-1ubuntu2 \ libglx-mesa0:i386=25.0.3-1ubuntu2 \ mesa-libgallium=25.0.3-1ubuntu2 \ mesa-libgallium:i386=25.0.3-1ubuntu2 \ mesa-va-drivers=25.0.3-1ubuntu2 \ mesa-va-drivers:i386=25.0.3-1ubuntu2 \ mesa-vdpau-drivers=25.0.3-1ubuntu2 \ mesa-vdpau-drivers:i386=25.0.3-1ubuntu2 \ mesa-vulkan-drivers=25.0.3-1ubuntu2 \ mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386=25.0.3-1ubuntu2
• Kernel Downgrade: I also tried downgrading my kernel to linux-image-6.14.0-15 via sudo apt install. This did not help either.
• Steam Reinstallation: I've reinstalled Steam completely (including removing .steam from my home directory to trigger a fresh install).
• **compatdata Removal:** I've removed compatdata for the games I'm trying to launch.
• Multiple Games Tested: I've tried two different games, both of which worked before these updates.
• Fresh Kubuntu Install: I even reinstalled Kubuntu on a new partition – same issue!
• Steam via Snap (Works!): Interestingly, Steam installed via Snap does work! However, I've noticed it's still running on Mesa 24, which I'm using as a workaround until this issue is hopefully resolved by updates.

My Guess:

My initial thoughts were that this was a common issue like a bug in mesa-vulkan or the amdgpu kernel driver, but the extensive downgrading and reinstallation haven't resolved anything.

Any Suggestions?

This is incredibly frustrating, and I've exhausted my usual troubleshooting steps. Has anyone else experienced something similar or have any insights based on the error messages? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey all!

I couldn’t find a topic about this so I figured I’ll start a new one.

Bought this game on the sale since it seems like a perfect mix between the crew and forza horizon, but for whatever reason it will not start. I’ve tried several tinkering steps that people have suggested on protondb, but not even that has helped. Is there anyone in here who have gotten it running?

My specs are: Ryzen 7 5800x 64 gd ddr4 3200 mhz RTX 2070 EndeavourOS

This is happening right now with Battlefield 6 posts but affects other dystopian tracking platforms like Fortnite, Roblox, League of Legends, EA Sports FC, GTA Online, Call of Duty, Destiny, PUBG, R6 Siege and more.

Not everything deserves to run on Linux. We get it. You don't need to spell it out every time.

These are heavily monetized, manipulative titles that go against everything Linux (and a smart human being) stands for. By publicly asking for their compatibility, you're harming the integrity of this ecosystem. If I were a market researcher scoping for Battlefield brand sentiment online, the message from the Linux gamers would be clear to me: I can't destroy their dopamine and scam them.

Personally I am against invasive kernel space anti cheat solutions. Ideally I would like to see these games available on Linux without introducing such shitty measures into kernel.

But most of us don’t care about FOMO-fueled dopamine loops and just want a peaceful, libre system.

I just bought this game and upon first launch the game greets me with this crash above

here's what i tried doing: adding -windowed to the launch options switching between proton versions (only proton 9.0-4 gives me this crash, other proton versions simply dont launch the game at all)

im on fedora 42 workstation, this screenshot was taken in kde but the same happens in gnome, this installation was installed a few days ago and the nvidia drivers are installed

my device is thinkpad p50 with quadro m2000m

people using windows have been having the same issue for this game, this exact crash, however i am not sure if the solutions on windows can really be done on linux and even then some people claim to still have the problem after trying the fixes out

The game has native support on all 3 platforms. I've tested it both native and in Proton with the Vulcan launch option as well as looked in Proton DB. Performance on my end was about the same, DB says one or the other performs better or native has more bugs. I dont know if any of the community servers have anti-linux stuff on them (up to the server owner). but i'm curious what you guys prefer.

Hello everyone I am new to Linux have been using it for about 3 months now I will appreciate your help.

I am using Nobara Linux and making HDR work with games was tough for me since using gamescope will make my games crash while launching so I have been using HDR with Wayland and ProtonGE using the following launch option mangohud gamemoderun PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command% with VK_hdr_layer installed.

My problem is I have to add VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_KHR_present_wait to the launch option so the game wont crash , this command well make stuttering for most games especially while using frame generation and the frames will be much smoother without it.

so please if there is any better way to make HDR work let me know.

Hey all, this post is partly a recount of my experience and also a question to everyone.

I've not been having a great time with my 9070 XT on Bazzite, Kubuntu or CachyOS. I recently upgraded from a 3090 Ti and although I'm getting a lot more performance, it has actually been a worse time.
On all three distros, I get horrible stuttering and frame drops, in some games once per second. I've tried problem solving by trying different proton releases, different launch commands, VRR on and off, RT on/off, lowering/increasing settings and even with gamescope but to no avail. Checked kernel version and I'm way above the minimum for RDNA4.

It seems to me like the 9070 XT mesa drivers still have a long way to go with gaming, is anyone else having the same experience? Sadly on Windows, I don't get any frame drops at all. System Specs below:

CPU: 14700K
RAM: 64GB Corsair LPX 5600MTs
GPU: XFX Swift 9070 XT
SSD: Crucial P3 Plus 4TB
Running Wayland

Thanks for listening and if anyone has any advice, I'd be very grateful!

EDIT: running dual 1440p monitors, main display is a VG27AQ with freesync

I have both TIEBREAK and AO International Tennis 2 and they've in common a problem, they don't start when I hit "play" in Steam on my Cachy OS. I tried different proton's versions but haven't succeeded in launch them. They simply do a black flash on start and don't launch. Can anybody help? My specs are: 7800X3D with 9070 XT and 32 gigs DDR5, both games are installed on a SSD M2 and I have mesa-git
