Mahjong Soul works on primary drive but not on secondary drive

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Jun 2025 - 12:06pm

I'm truly stumped on this one. I'm using Bazzite and I have my steam games all installed on a second drive. They all work fine with the sole exception being Mahjong Soul, which only works when it is in the default library location. What happens when it is on the secondary drive is it starts up and then checks for updates, and that's where it fails. The loading bar fills up supposedly downloading 0.05Mb reads and then displays the message "Failed to obtain [Update Content], please check your Network Configuration and log into the game again[1014]". This is a different error from simply have no network connection at all(I checked). Both file systems are btrfs and I made sure the files all have the same permissions as any other game installed.

When I tell steam to move the game to the primary library, not even having to redownload anything, it works and I can log in and play no problem. Seeing this I tried making the steamapps folder on my primary drive and link to the other drives' steamapps folder and still had no luck. I even tried making sure the drives were mounted with the same options and then redownloading the game.

My inability to pin down why it doesn't work on the second drive is what is really bugging me, so If anyone can enlighten me as to what is going on I'd greatly appreciate it.

FIXED: I had to shorten the name of the folder where I mounted the drive. I presume it was a file path length limit issue, although I could be wrong. Actually I hope I'm wrong, because I'd not expect an extra dozen or so characters of length to break things.

An Ex-Newbie’s Honest Opinion on Linux Gaming

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Jun 2025 - 11:19am

Gaming on Linux (for me at least) has been a decently enjoyable experience. I've made it past the days of not understanding why my game isn't running, when really, it was because I forgot to install vulkan on my system. I'ts been nice getting away from all of Window's trash and being able to be free to use my computer as I wish. If only gamedevs even considered Linux when developing their games. It all comes down to greed, really. Windows is a lot more profitable. Overall though, I can play the games I want, which is enough for me.

Linux newbie WoW question

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Jun 2025 - 8:10am

Apologies if this is due to user error (highly likely). I have recently decided to try Linux to move away from the data beast that is Windows 11. One of the main games I play is Classic World of Warcraft (I’m old it’s nostalgic). After eventually getting battle.net to play nicely on CachyOs I launched the game and noticed everything looked blurry and a bit washed out. The game doesn’t detect my monitor LG C4 except as generic pnp. I’ve faffed on with it and improved it slightly but it’s way behind the image quality on Windows. Am I doing something wrong? System is running on CPU 7900X and GPU is 7900XTX. Thanks in advance. Should also say that I used my existing wow installation so perhaps it’s something to do with that?

This is why Linux gaming can be frustrating...

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Jun 2025 - 7:40am

I was just discussing how well DLSS fame generation works on Linux. From what I've seen on this sub, it seems to be kind of hit or miss but the person I was discussing this with says it works well for him. And if that's the case then that's the case.

So just to check on what I could find that was recent on 5090 MFG generation I came about this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DU2rHQFwKw. Cool, it's working with these two games. But what really made me curious was the title: I Got Multi Frame Generation Working on Linux(RTX 5090 and It DESTROYS Windows).

This was an hour I didn't need to waste but I had to give it a shot. My CP 2077 results at the top and the YT video's at the bottom. My system is a bit better, but the gaming performance should be very similar, certainly not enough difference to account for the performance gap which is heavily in favor Windows. I ran it three times and triple check the settings were the same. Maybe I missed something, maybe this guy missed something on the setup.

The frustrating part is WHY trash Windows when the claim doesn't even look like he tried to confirm the results? It's great that it works on Linux as well as it does. But it doesn't seem to touch Windows. Maybe I'm wrong but whatever is going here, it wasn't confirmed and tested well.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Jun 2025 - 7:39am

Hi, i was trying to install bazzite along with my windows 11 instalation, on different drives, but for some reason i cant even get the installer to work, i get some "anaconda" error and some python stuff, i was thinking maybe it was because i already had windows installed or smth but idk For reference my pc(laptop) is a hp victus 16 d051la and i tried doing everything from using different usb drives to different programs like etcher, rufus, ventoy and fedora media installer and at this point idk what to do.

AMD Anti Lag

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Jun 2025 - 7:36am

I guess i'll just get straight to it, but is AMD anti lag still not supported under linux? i saw a post when i was looking into this from 2~ years ago asking the same question and the answer then was a resounding no, and that the only alternative was something called LatencyFleX, but that hasn't been updated since 2022 and there doesn't seem to be any other alternatives that have come out since then... All that being said, I suppose my question is two fold, does AMD anti lag work at all under linux? and if it doesn't, is latencyflex safe to install and does it still even work? I'm asking the question with the context of using it for overwatch if that helps at all, since that's the only competitive shooter I play.

Deciding on what Linux to use on older hardware.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Jun 2025 - 6:05am

What version should I install on old gaming Pc.

My old setup is a PC with a 6700k and GTX 1070. I'm trying to decide which version of Linux would be best for this set up and allow me to still utilize the machine for gaming and media.

Steamdeck is the only experience I've had with Linux but have liked it a lot tinkering with it.

Thank you.
