I need to do this to run some mods for Doom. I'd like a GUI program for this, but it seems it might not exist. I have a good bit of mods and really want an easy way to do this. I'm using Linux Mint Cinnamon.

Hi, I switched from Ubuntu to Arch some days ago and I'm trying to install Assetto Corsa. To make AC run in Ubuntu, since it doesn't work with the "normal" Proton, I installed a GE-Proton version from ProtonUp and everything worked just fine.

Before doing this on Arch i searched online a way to install AC on Arch and I found this post which says that in arch you just need to install the AUR package of Proton GE, then follow the instruction and everything should work. Guess? It doesn't work (for me): I get this message

I searched online for this error but didn't find anything. The steam process logs this:

I tried installing protonfixes from AUR but I get

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) protonfixes: /home/davide/Documents/protonfixes/src/protonfixes-1.0.15/static/index.html exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. ==> WARNING: Failed to install built package(s).

so I moved over to the next warning (I ignored ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/davide/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored. since this occurs also in other games but they works) about WINEPREFIX, I followed the instruction of the wiki to start the 32 bit environment but the command WINEARCH=win32 winecfg gives me

wine: WINEARCH is set to 'win32' but this is not supported in wow64 mode.

and all I found online says that it's just not supported anymore and there is nothing to do.

So i found this other post, followed the instructions but when i tried to launch it, it just stops. The last thing I tried is downloading ProtonUp to get GE-Proton, I installed GE-Proton10-8 and still doesn't work, but now this time the output is so long that I don't think it makes sense just to paste it here.

I have no idea what to do more now, what suggestions do you have?

Hey everyone,

I recently moved to Linux Mint from Windows and I’m thinking about switching all of my computers to Linux eventually. As a test, I installed Linux on my old gaming laptop a Lenovo Ideapad Y700ISK (17-inch).

I’m having some random negative experiences with games, mostly involving soft locks. Sometimes when a soft lock occurs, I can fix it by pressing alt+tab. Other times, if I hold alt+tab, I can see the game continues to run in the background, but as soon as I release the keys to return to the game, it soft locks again.

One of the most frustrating parts is that sometimes during the soft lock, my keyboard stops working entirely, even though I can still move the mouse. When that happens, I can’t alt+tab or launch the system monitor, so I’m forced to hard-reboot the computer.

I’ve tried searching online and even asked ChatGPT, but I still can’t figure it out. I’ve also tested different Proton versions without success.

This issue won’t stop me from using Linux, but I really want to find a solution since the same game sometimes runs perfectly fine, and other times causes these soft locks.

Hi everyone im trying to get my controller to work with far cry 3 but it just won’t detect it, it does detect inside control panel

Controller does work with another game. Both have different prefixes (maybe I’m missing something for far cry3)

Embark Studios announced they're working on a new anti-cheat system for THE FINALS, which sounds like bad news for players across Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck.

So i have an xbox 360 controller and the dpad works as an axis (tested using jstest /dev/input/js0), because of that dpad doesnt work in games or in steam big picture.

I can remap it using steam input but that only works for games that i have on steam.

How can i change dpad mapping system wide?

Hey everyone,

I've been using XBOX controllers for years now and switched to an elite 2 about a year ago.
However, ever since switching to Linux I've been having tons of issues with the bluetooth connectivity.

I also own an 8BitDo Sn30 Pro and that one works perfectly fine with bluetooth.

Now I've been thinking about switching to another controller that works great on Linux without having to tinker around with.

I've been looking at the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless, but I've heard that it has it's quirks here and there too.

Any opinions?

So, I started playing The Last Of Us Part 2 for the first time on Windows, but before I could finish it I switched to CachyOS completely. Now I can't play it because once I load a save, the game renders at 1 FPS with almost no usage on the CPU and GPU (on the menu it runs as on WIndows).

I started tinkering with different protons, forcing the dGPU to run the program, forcing the game to open on a X11 window (found a person with the same problem as me on protonDB saying that it fixed the problem). I spent two days researching and even asking ChatGPT (thought it did helped me with some things).

I have already given up and posted a report on protonDB, but since I want to play it so bad and I couldn't get any help from r/cachyos, you are my last resort.

Any help is welcome.

PC specs (Acer Nitro 5 AN515-47) :

Kernel: 6.15.4-3-cachyos

CPU: Ryzen 5 7535HS

GPU: Radeon 660M and RTX 3050 ti (4GB)

RAM: 16 GB

Drivers: 575.64

This is a weird issue. I need to install some native linux games on steam and I no longer have the choice.

In the individual games compatibility settings same issue: on the list of choices the native linux runtime is gone.
It happens with the beta too.

While most of Linux gaming revolves around Steam, SteamOS and Steam Deck. GOG and Epic Games can be run on Linux platforms too - here's how.
