Is DT_HASH still required for EAC?
Like the title says, the Gentoo wiki still states it is required, but some people say it is not. I recently installed a new distro and I can't seem to launch Nightreign because EAC just quits. I currently have glibc 2.41+r48+g5cb575ca9a3d-1.
Edit- No, it is not. :)

Potential lossless scaling on Linux
Since we periodically get posts asking whether lossless scaling is available for linux, I thought I'd post to show something I ran across. I haven't had time to mess with it personally, so I have no idea how well it works or if it works at all. Has anyone expiremented with and had good results ?

Need help improving gaming performance in CachyOS/Linux
Hi everyone,
I’ve installed God of War: Ragnarok on CachyOS, but I'm experiencing very low FPS (7–15), as shown in the attached video. When I first installed the game, I was getting around 25 FPS, but after trying a few online tweaks to improve performance, the FPS dropped further — and I’m not sure why.
I also noticed in the top-right overlay that CPU 0 usage is stuck at 0%, which I believe might be part of the issue.
Can anyone please guide me on how to improve my game’s FPS? According to ChatGPT, I should be getting 45–55 FPS based on my laptop's configuration.
Here’s my system spec:
Laptop: Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IHU
CPU: 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-11300H
GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile
GPU 2: Intel Iris Xe Graphics @ 1.30 GHz
RAM: 23.25 GB (1.89 GB currently used)
Any help or tips from fellow Linux gamers would be highly appreciated!

So I've heard a lot of gaming praise, but what about Windows programs?
Yes I know what subreddit I'm in, but I figured it would still be the best place to ask. I really just need Davinci Resolve and FL studio to work. Thanks in advance for all your advice.

RDR2 CPU Usage is crazy, but also...weirdly actions stop actioning? :\
I just finally grabbed Red Dead Redemption 2 on Steam Sale, I had it when I had Stadia (RIP) and thought I could play it on Geforce Now (where I play the majority of my games) but alas I couldn't, so I am playing it on PopOS 22.
Here are my specs, I definitely didn't expect it to eat up so much CPU, and am curious if it's causing the issues I'm seeing in the video linked as well where after just a few minutes in (sometimes I can play 20-30 minutes before it starts happening, sometimes it's 2 minutes) actions just stop working.

Any thoughts (also I apologize if I missed any details I'd need for more debugging, if I'm missing anything please let me know).?

What's going on?
A few days ago, I made this post. Even though I thought it was weird, I didn't really search for the reason why. But yesterday, I reinstalled Ghost of Tsushima to replay it and oh boy, it had a lot of stutters (on Windows). The average FPS was okay, but there were constant stutters.
So, I searched for benchmarks for my system because I knew it could handle the game. I saw that other people weren’t having this problem. Then I switched to Linux (cachy), and there were no stutters and it even looked better. Now I'm very sure this is an nvidia driver issue.
The strange part is that it started happening more frequently over the past week, and in a broader catalog of games. What's going on with nvidia drivers on Windows? I searched, but I couldn’t really find much information.

I have a terrible gaming experience on Linux
I have this laptop: https://frame.work/products/laptop16-diy-amd-7040
The games I try to play are Dota 2 and Diablo IV.
Dota 2 FedoraWhen I bought it I installed Fedora 39, Steam, and Dota 2 from Flathub. Every minute or so the game would start a terrible slideshow for about 10 seconds after which it played fine until the next slideshow. And it did it like that the whole game. If I removed the external GPU I couldn't play it even on minimal settings. With the external GPU it didn't matter what Video settings I selected - it behaved the same.
I tried different Vulkan settings and launch options that I found on the Internet but no luck. I do use DRI_PRIME=1 because without it the game barely works.
Later I installed Fedora 40 and reinstalled Steam from rpmfusion and installed a fresh copy of Dota 2 - it still behaved exactly the same. I then moved to Fedora 41 and I still got a slideshow every minute of the gameplay.
UbuntuI finally gave up and installed Ubuntu. The first things I did right after installation were getting Steam and Dota 2 and OMG, I've never knew it could be this beautiful and smooth! I played like 10 games and was very happy. A couple of days later it started randomly glitching but in a completely different way from Fedora. It would slightly lag which was pretty annoying. It also dropped picture quality, I cannot get it to be as pretty as it was on the inital start again.
Two days ago it started getting into a non-stop slideshow (glitching like crazy) which wouldn't recover until I restart the game.
The issues with Dota started happening before I attempted to install anything Diablo related.
Diablo 4 FedoraIt took a few days to make Battlenet work through Bottles, but after it was done it was easy to install Diablo IV. Right before I got my Framework laptop I played it on a much less powerful Windows laptop. The graphics on this laptop were MUCH better, I was finally enjoying the game the way it should've been... for a day or so. After that the game started crashing, freezing my whole laptop which required a hard reboot, glitching (slideshow), and dropping picture quality. If I had to step away for a few minutes while the game was still running it would get into an unrecoverable state and the only way to fix it was to kill the game, Battlenet, and Bottles processes. The issues would happen randomly. Some days were actually pretty good. I've been playing like that for a year.
UbuntuI'm stuck on making Lutris work - cannot install Battlenet. It gets stuck at different stages of installation with ambigous errors in terminal.
Other programsOutside of the games the experience is almost great - I don't like how it kills all of my apps like browser when it goes to sleep from time to time, and that I cannot wake it up from a bluetooth keyboard, but otherwise it's a great laptop.
I'm thinking to install Windows 11 to play games on it because so far the experience was terrible and I wasted at least 100 hours of my personal time on fighting this crap.

A lot of native games is on sale on Steam. Can you recommend any of them? And are you going to buy any of them? Or any of the many DLC's from Paradox?

Please help me. My BeamNG is using my intergrated graphics and crashing and it's no fun I have even tried using proton and the native linux port. both say that I am using my intel GPU and not the nvidia one. How do I force it to use the rtx card? I am using a laptop with linux mint and gnome as my desktop enviroment.

SSR Wives: The Murder Of My Winter Crush crashing and closing a few seconds after entering the main menu
I'm trying to play the murder of my winter crush and every time I open the game it comes to the menu and closes by itself and even though I try to quickly enter the character selection and play the game it freezes and just stays on the loading screen, and in the extra a screen appears loading something but the game closes by itself. Could anyone have an idea what it is?

Lutris + Retroarch BIOS error
Hello, just in case can save time to anybody, for visibility, issue has already been reported here, something with the BIOS checksum in libretro.py.
Launching the games directly from Retroarch (flatpak v1.21.0) works.
But the same game ROMS from within Lutris using Retroarch as launcher fails, with missing BIOS, some cores or emulators seems are not affected, for example, launching MAME ROMS with FB Neo didnt work but opening them with MAME 2003-plus worked.
Lutris v0.5.18 is not affected afaik, some of the v0.5.19 are tho. What I did was just downgrade Lutris (flatpak):
#check Lutris available versions
flatpak remote-info --log flathub net.lutris.Lutris
#this version commit works
sudo flatpak update --commit=9215d391a7cdb1e81b798c395392290507e35021eaf059715e0be7fca29ad931 net.lutris.Lutris
Had to use sudo since I think my flatpaks are not installed as user but system-wide instead. (Ubuntu 24).
