Can someone help guide me with getting Mod Organizer 2 working on Linux (I'm on Bazzite)? I think I followed the instructions from github but it's not opening (I'm testing it with Cyberpunk 2077). (I may need to uninstall and start over)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Dec 2025 - 7:44pm

https://github.com/Furglitch/modorganizer2-linux-installer?tab=readme-ov-file

I downloaded MO2 and followed the instructions from GitHub. I clicked on the highlight releases in step 2 and downloaded mo2Installer-6.0.6.tar.gz and extracted it onto my desktop. I opened the extracted folder, opened the terminal in there, and executed with "./install.sh". It seemed to have worked as the intstaller did stuff. I currently have "mod-organizer-2-cyberpunk2077" in my var/home/usr/games folder, and my cyberpunk 2077 game directory in Steamapps/common has Mod Organizer 2. However, I still can't seem to get the Mod Organizer 2 to work.

Maybe I overlooked step 6's post-install instructions, but it looks rather overwhelming for me to figure out.

To clarify, I'm on Bazzite (an off-shoot of Fedora) and am trying to test out with Cyberpunk 2077. If possible, could I have someone help guide me (perhaps we can chat to more readily have a 1-1 conversation)? I'd be grateful.

Did Wuthering Waves get botched?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Dec 2025 - 7:19pm

After the recent update, game wouldn't recognize my dedicated GPU, then started getting this Anti-cheat error thing. Is the game no longer working on linux or just Nvidia cards?

Has anyone else seen this weird bug in boarderlands 4?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Dec 2025 - 7:12pm

Hi,

has anyone else encountered this weird bug in BL4 where there seems to be a misaligned UI element peeking out in the corner? I'm using Fedora 43 KDE Plasma desktop.

Operating System: Fedora Linux 43

KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.21.0

Qt Version: 6.10.1

Kernel Version: 6.17.11-300.fc43.x86_64 (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D 8-Core Processor

Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (31.3 GiB usable)

Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX

Manufacturer: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.

Product Name: MS-7C56

System Version: 4.0

I have tried looking around the internet but i can't seem to find any posts about it.

i have tried verifying the files in steam and reinstalling, i have also tried changing to different versions of proton.

nothing seems to change.

Edit: I would just ignore it but i have an OLED monitor and am worried about burn in.

SPTarkov RAM doesn't clear after closing

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Dec 2025 - 7:05pm

I've installed SPT with spt-additions and it works great.

however... after I stop the server and close the game, some memory simply won't get cleared no matter what.

but the usage isn't shown anywhere.

memory used after closing (with librewolf open)

this is the usage right after system boot

this is the usage after closing

doesn't show any sign of something using ~4G RAM

any idea what this might be? or how to investigate?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Dec 2025 - 7:04pm

I have the same problem as in the title: I play games on Proton 10.0-3, but when I open VRChat, it asks me to download an anti-cheat.

Journey almost complete

It really is amazing to see that last year I was still on the fence and always booted between Windows and Linux. This year I only booted up windows fo Battlefield 6 and being kind of disappointed I never looked back since. I still have the separate drive, but I dont think it will last the year, I need the space for more games on linux :)

valve's wine??

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Dec 2025 - 6:35pm

i think Proton is a wine that has been heavily modified by valve, right? now when i go to their repo, i see wine, is this something different than either proton or the original wine (winehq)? im confused, could someone explain me? thanks.

Total War: Rome 2 borderline unplayable because of audio issue

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Dec 2025 - 6:26pm

I'm playing TW:R2 and it's borderline unplayable because the game stutters so much when trying to output audio in some cases. Does anyone have a solution for this? I know it's audio because when I take away the focus and audio stops the game runs perfectly.

ssd keeps dropping out when even attempting to launch a game

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Dec 2025 - 6:12pm

so i have a game ssd and an OS ssd. if i play games with the OS ssd it plays fine. but the moment i try to play on my game drive it drops out the second i do. im not sure at all whats wrong as the ssd is a samsung 980 1TB and it doesnt even 50TB read and written together.
heres what ive tried so far in order:
formatting the ssd
changing ssd partition type
switching to a different ssd (inland prime 1TB 3d nand)
changing what motherboard slot its in
changing linux distro (3 times, from fedora, to arch, to void linux which is what ive stuck with)
ramping up fan speed to keep it cool as the samsung ssd has a 32 in warning composite temp time in gsmartcontrol
setting bios (MS-7C71 mobo) to optimized defaults
updating bios
changing linux kernel from 6.18 to 6.12.
and right now im running a smart self-test on it which hasnt made it drop out yet. im not sure what else to do and it seems like even putting big files on it is fine. but it just wont launch games. and just for the hell of it ive even tasted different types of proton and it still drops.

Problems with my pc

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Dec 2025 - 5:50pm

Hey r/linux_gaming community, I've been having some issues with my pc recently trying to run cs2. The thing is, I dont know if my pc is too underpowered or it is really a distro problem.

Pc specs:

OS: CachyOS CPU: Xeon e5-2676v3 GPU: RTX 3060 12GB RAM: 16GB RAM DDR3 1600mhz (single channel) SSD: 2TB TEAM GROUP NVME PCIE 4.0

I saw this yt video of a dude running without problems with worse specs: https://youtu.be/BdCliDkS4Ss?si=dCFDY8YYXh8lf0HR and think this dude is most likely playing on win10 or 11 and as you can see dude is playing flawlessly on 1280x800p in mirage. Is it cachy problem? I had a better pc with a 5600g and a 2060s and it ran proton 9 or 10 cs2 and worked like a charm. Now with this pc VAC is showing me a message of unsigned packages while trying to play premier with the xeon pc using proton. The linux native ver gives me lag every time I open fire to an enemy or things like throwing granades or team fights happen. Not even lowering the res works. Help!
