Should I setup a windows gaming VM or set up dual-booting

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Nov 2024 - 8:41pm

I run Arch on my laptop and want to switch my main PC to Arch, but I play a lot of online games. I don't want to set up dual-booting because I don't want to restart my PC to switch between games. I was thinking about setting up a Windows VM to play games on that, but would I need to set up GPU passthrough for the best performance? I did some reading on GPU passthrough, and it doesn't seem that easy. I have a 3080 for my primary GPU and a 2070 super running my two side monitors. What would you guys recommend?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Nov 2024 - 7:55pm

I have always used windows. I really like the UI and almost everything about it but recently windows have been making some changes so i've started to consider Linux.

I've heard that it can be almost as good as windows given enough work so my question is.

How difficult is it to get gaming to be viable?

What programs would you recommend i install?

What version of Linux would you say is best for Gaming?

Proton Tricks not working

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Nov 2024 - 7:32pm

Hello I have been trying to use proton tricks on my Lego Lord of the Rings so that I can fix the flashing water issue by installing the "dedx9_41". This is a process I already made on my deck so I have no idea why Proton Tricks wont work on my desktop PC.

Dirt 4 Wont open full screen

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Nov 2024 - 5:03pm

Trying to play Dirt 4 on linux mint through steam and the game wont open full screen. The Dirt 4 launcher open up in full screen and then when I press play and the actual game launches it goes to a smaller windowed screen. When I press Alt+Enter the screen stays the same size but goes to an actual windowed screen where I can move the window around but still with a black background.

Any other game I launch opens full screen. Things ive tried,

  • Setting resolution in the game launcher to 1920X1080
  • Setting resolution in steam under manage > Properties to 1920X1080
  • Adding -fullscreen in launch options
  • Disconnecting 2nd display

Im not much of a PC gamer so if theres something obvious I havnt listed please feel free to mention it. Theres no stupid suggestions!

Wired remote gaming setup

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Nov 2024 - 4:34pm

I want to play games in my home teater, from my PC in another room. I have tried moonshine+sunshine setup between my PC and Nvidia shield tv pro. My framerate is horrendus. I have come to the conclusion that my AMD gpu isnt built for this. The setup works flawlessly for my gf with her low tier RTX 3050...

I will try to use a fiber optic HDMI + Active USB cable(for my controller) as it needs to be 20m+

I will turn on the PC with WOL, but what is a not too "janky" way to open steam big picture mode? I would like to avoid using keyboard and mouse. I guess setting up something like "when controller connected, launch steam BPM" isnt possible.

Im also worried about steam/games launching on one of my monitors.

Any advice about this is really appreciated.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Nov 2024 - 3:49pm

Trying to figure out how to use the discrete Intel GPU that came with my laptop to improve gaming performance instead of the integrated graphics. Its a Dell Inspiron 7506 2n1.

Thinking of hopping distros to something with a newer kernal that supports it. I'm running Debian stable and I can't get it to work with the 6.1 kernel.

Linux Mint, RTX 4000, NVidia application profiles question / custom filters syntax?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Nov 2024 - 3:27pm

Good morning.

I tried searching for this on Google but couldn't find anything. I looked through Nvidia's forums and support site, but I couldn't find anything. I'm running Linux mint and configuring custom application filters. Right now, I'm using an RTC 4000 series. The settings app appears to be fairly normal, and I'm using the official NVidia driver for Linux.

https://preview.redd.it/k0yry4fubv1e1.png?width=1452&format=png&auto=webp&s=6818b60b62559036c8e5e224c03a0cdbba8063cf

I would like to know if there is a page that provides information on what filters I can set in the application profile filters. I wasn't familiar with any of the filter settings. I couldn't find any filters for gamma, color correction, image settings, or antialiasing. There is no guidance on what values can be set when you choose the custom filter. I would like more information about how to set custom application profiles.

Thanks & Regards

Farming Simulator 22/25 Joystick Issues

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Nov 2024 - 3:25pm

Hello everyone,

I mainly game on my Steamdeck. Lately I bought a logitech 3D Pro joystick. Which is working perfectly fine on windows. I tried to get it running on Steamdeck but I'm facing the issue that now all axes are usable.

I tried several reddit posts, nothing worked. Using it under Windows works out of the box. When connecting it to the deck I checked connectivity and it's fine. I already tested all axis via Linux tools, worked also.

Now I tried Proton 6.3 under steam - >compatibility and there all axes are showing up and working. But the performance of the game is pretty bad.. Not playable.

Every Proton version above has the problem that the axes are not full usable.

Maybe anyone here can help with the issue? Would be greatly appreciated!

I'm running the steamdeck on the latest version, also the game. The game itself recognizes the stick with all axes.

I tried changing regedit via Protontools (not sure if it's the right way) for this game.

Thanks in advance.

How would you recommend installing Heroic Launcher on an arch distro? AUR or flatpak?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Nov 2024 - 1:58pm

I've been a long time user of Lutris, but lately I've just been having a lot of trouble with it. To that end, I want to try Heroic for my GOG games.

How would you recommend I install the launcher? Using the AUR binary or flatpak?

Thanks

Akimbot does not save settings

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Nov 2024 - 12:56pm

It's driving me kinda nuts. The game works well, especially in DX11, but DOES NOT save settings. Every time I launch the game they go back to default.

In the fat chance someone bought this game. Do you have the same issue or it's personal and it just hates me?
