Hi

At this moment I have Bazzite installed on my pc with a RTX 4080 super card. I know the Gaming mode of Bazzite is not really optimized for Nvidia cards.

Is there another Linux version with a good working Gaming mode? And for Desktop mode, am I good with Bazzite? Or are there better options for pc's with Nvidia cards?

Steamos and Bazzite are my own experience with Linux. They are user friendly I think. But I don't know about other Linux systems.

So I've made a couple of previous threads about this issue. In almost any game I try now, parts of the initial splash screen and the menu will display, but a lot of it is just black and when I finally manage to get into the game proper, it's either all black or moving around causes the screen to briefly go black. It renders the games completely unplayable.

Previously, adding PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 to the launch options for Borderlands 3 as directed in a now deleted post in the second of those two links, had solved this problem for that game, but now it's happening again and that is no longer preventing it. It never fixed it in Bright Memory and I'm still not able to play that game. I'm also having the issue in Lost Planet: Extreme Condition and forcing Wayland is not fixing that game, either. Until recently, even when having the issue in Bright Memory and Lost Planet, I was able to play Borderlands 3, but now it is happening in that game again as well.

I'm running CachyOS with an RX7800XT, 32GB of RAM and an R7 5700X3D. My video card is has never been overclocked and is almost brand new. I can play MechWarrior 5 and MechWarrior Online without issue, but those seem to be the only games I'm able to play. I've also tried Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition and it also has the same problem.

Portal 2 has a similar issue where the screen will go black during the splash screens, but on top of that during gameplay, the screen is completely warped with the entire bottom half of the screen completely torn as well as the game itself not registering mouse input, ie: I cannot click on menu items and must use the keyboard.

I also have an SSD with Mint 21.3 installed with a newer kernel installed via Mainline as well as the Kisak mesa. I'm running kernel 16.14.11 in Mint 21.3. This issue does not happen in Mint. I'm able to run all of the above mentioned games without issue. This is purely a CachyOS problem. I believe it must therefore have something to do with Wayland. Trying different versions of Proton and GE-Proton does not solve the problem. Enabling shader precaching does not solve the problem. I don't know why forcing PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 originally fixed the problem with Borderlands 3 but no longer works or why the other games never worked. It's really annoying and I have no idea what's going on.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

EDIT: I suppose I should also add that my main monitor on which I game is 35" UWHD 3440x1440 100hz.

So, I play The Sims 3 with Lutris, and it performs better when it has no internet connection. On Windows I used to use the Windows Firewall to achieve something like this. How can I do a similar thing on Linux with an application that is using Wine with Lutris?

And also I cannot remove wininet.dll from the prefix since the game depends on it.

My partner uses Linux, and me windows, and we both love GTA Online, and I was hoping there might be a game similar to GTA Online that is Linux friendly since it's anticheat prevents it from running.

So, Long story short, as the title suggests, I am getting INSANELY bad performance on my system. For context, I am actually running an Arch Gaming VM on an Unraid host. Not to get into too much detail here but this was necessary due to a hardware failure about 2 years ago and it has been a reasonably good experience untyil recently. I havent played a huge amount of games recently so I guess I didn't notice but I have started a few recently that seem to have WAY worse performance then I expect.

https://youtu.be/dkQbTBS5rzQ

this is a video showcasing the issues. Some games don't seem bothered but this one is the easiest to reliably reproduce the issues repeatedly for testing. On my Steam Deck, which is orders of magnitude less powerful, does not have ANY of this stuttering. As you can probably see here, the CPU and GPU utilization as well as the ram and VRAM usage are way below a level where I would expect this kind of thing.

For context, this is a brand new mainline Arch install in the video, I have also tried a brand new and updated Fedora 42, Debian 13, and OpenSUSE and they all behave in exactly the same way as well as older versions of the drivers. This was to rule out some weird Arch config issue because lord knows I have done that before. Specs below.

CPU Vendor: AuthenticAMD CPU Brand: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16-Core Processor "Arch Linux" (64 bit) Kernel Name: Linux Kernel Version: 6.16.7-arch1-1 Driver: NVIDIA Corporation NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 Driver Version: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 580.82.09

X670E Steel Legend

I have 64GB of ram, half of it is dedicated to the VM, I have 8 CPU cores isolated from unraid and used exclusively for the VM.

I have been through my UEFI settings with a fine toothed comb with google so I 'THINK' they are all good. Since the OS itself isnt the issue I can only assume it has to be something with the KVM/QEMU configuration. For those of you who are familiar, I will drop in the XML for the VM.

Thanks in advance, I am really hoping I can get one of you folks way smarter than i am to help me figure this out.

P.S. Before anyone gets the idea to randomly post a link to the arch wiki. That thing is my bible and I have been through half of it trying to work this out. Also, lots of Linux people can be crappy when they are posting into help threads. I am a relatively advanced user and have truly exhausted all troubleshooting I can possibly imagine. I am here because I need help, not someone being a condescending doof nugget. Can you tell I have run into that before? lol...

I'm running Mint, I've gone through about every console command that exists so I suspect it may be an OS issue. Wondering if anyone has ran into this and knows how to fix it.

I've gone through tons of tutorials, even desynced the game from cloud sync and deleted the config file, still having the same issue.

Relatively new to Linux, please let me know how to provide more details if needed.

Can someone that plays No Mans Sky on Linux hook me up with a working HDR launch command for Steam that gives proper HDR? I had recently had to reinstall my OS and i lost some of my stuff. I had a working command before given to me by someone on here. Iv tried using wayland commands for that but this is one of the few games still bugged with that. Game scope will work. Iv checked ProtonDB and nobody has an HDR command line on there.

Hi. I'm using CachyOS for some time, all games works well or even better (Steam or emulators) would do total transition to CachyOS if I could solve only this problem with Rocksmith 2014 using wineasio or similar to have audio output and input. Game runs normally, but getting no audio output initilazation error. I tried forums, AI whatever... It's outdated, wrong, skipped steps, changed paths/packages and etc.

What adds more to a problem are wineprefixes, variations of proton ge versions, making wineasio builds, steam launch options that gets skipped, proton tricks var, winetricks var, etc.

1. Which asio are you using? Pipewire-jack, jack, alsa is there more?
2. Heard that jack is integrated in pipewire, how to use it?
3. RS ASIO.ini - do you use for Driver= wineasio, alsa, pw-jack, wineasio-rsasio ? Custom, host, driver buffer?
4. Rocksmith.ini - exclusive 1/0, win32lowlatency 1/0, output= or 0 or else?
5. Wine trick run - preinstalled with CachyOS - do you use it at all?
6. Steam launch options, does it do anything, how it actually works?

Does Rocksmith 2014 works on linux? How you use it? Do you know how actually sounds gets captured? How audio pipeline goes?

My RS ASIO.log is this:

Hi guys I just installed CachyOs with KDE to try out some Linux gaming.

I have an Nvidia 2070. Driver version 580.82.09

When I enable Adaptive Sync, my screen goes black. After much pain I managed to disable Adaptive Sync and get something back on my screen.

This was in System Settings -> Display Configuration -> Adaptive Sync

Is this the correct setting to enable Freesync? I assume Adaptive Sync is the generic name for it.

Is there any way to get it working correctly? I love Freesync

Thanks

So i have an old laptop... an ASUS X560UD with a dead 1050. It does have an integrated gpu though, and ive ued it to play game old gta games like gta4 and similar.
I do ue geforce now to play games like warframe and stuff, and small steam/gog(drm-free) games, and so id like an OS that would be simple for a windows user to use, since i have no experience with linux.

The specs on my laptop would be:

Intel UHD 620 Kaby lake GT2
Intel core i7-8550u
16 gb ram
120gb disk c and 250gb disk d

People been recommeding bazzite and cachieos or something..

Anything helps, thank you.

Hi, just curious about this question. Let's say a gamedev making a Windows game wanted to make sure that their game also works perfectly with Proton/Wine.

Is this something they can "decide" to do, and then implement their code in a particular way, avoiding particular things, etc?

Or is there no alternative other than "write it like a normal windows game and then do a bunch of testing in proton and see what breaks" ?
