Anyone tried different compatibility layers other than Proton (GE) on FMV games?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29 Jul 2025 - 7:28pm

If I sound like I have no idea what Im talking about, it's because that's the case, literally my second day with linux lol, plz be nice. Mint btw.
Anyway, I wanted to see how Immortality will play, given that it's essentially all video, and it's bad. Menuing is smooth, interacting with the playback mechanic works but is choppy, but playing the videos as is results either in slideshows or at worst a still image that hangs around. Neither Steam's Proton nor GE gets around this.
This is apparently a codecs issue. Is there any chance that other comp tools that ProtonUp lists could maybe do something here? If not I guess Ill dig out an old laptop with windows and finish it there but still want to try. Especially as this game is deck verified and has a plat rating on protondb ;;

WiiU Pro Controller on Linux Mint ?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29 Jul 2025 - 6:30pm

Hey there,

I just installed Steam on Linux Mint (freshly installed as well) and I wanted to know how I can make my WiiU Pro controller work.

I have a Steam Deck, and I could pair the WiiU controller without any issue using the bluetooth menu of gaming mode and, to my knowledge, without installing something specifically for making the WiiU controller (or any controller) work.

I was under the impression the controller could be used on Linux based OS without any trouble since it was seemless on Steam Deck, but I end up having the same issue than with Windows where you need to put a pin to pair the controller.

Do I have to install a specific driver ?

Thanks.

Need help with stretching an old game

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29 Jul 2025 - 4:59pm

Hello there I have posted a few times before but I was wondering if I could have some help with this one because I am absolutely stumped. I have some old games and a good example of this is one called plane crazy which is a windows 95 racing game it works perfectly under lutris and everything else the problem I'm having is I cannot get it to fill my 32 inch screen the game refuses to work with gamescope and I am on Wayland. What could I possibly do to get the game to fill full screen under Wayland I have tried many command line arguments and I have tried everything I can think of so far is this a limitation with the Wayland at the moment? I would also like to do this for several other old games that work I know some people like to play with correct aspect ratio but if I play this game it leaves out a lot of space on my 32 inch monitor

Is there a way to toggle 2 different MangoHud configs via Shortcut? For example, by default, i would like to display only the current time. When pressing the shortcut, i will display the full config. Is this possible? Currently, i can only hide by default via no_display and blend in the full config via Right Shift + F12

Minion addon manager doesn't detect other drives

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29 Jul 2025 - 4:29pm

I am at my wits end. I have been trying to get Minion working for updating my addons on ESO easily. I have looked online and they all say use Flatseal to give it access to all system files with filesystem=host. This does not work for me. I have it on and still none of my other drives show up when I launch Minion. Does anyone know how I can resolve this?

Playing Identity V in Fedora KDE Plasma

Anyone playing Identity V? It's a really sick game I once played when I was on windows. I was able to play it by installing the exe file via Lutris and after that execute the dwrg.exe in Steam. Try the game! It's similar to Dead by Daylight.
