8BitDo Controller Woes and Lutris in Fedora 42

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Aug 2025 - 4:26pm

Hey all!

Sorry for making this post here but I'm at my wits end regarding something an issue that I am unable to understand.

I installed Fedora 42 Workstation (Gnome) a few months ago and following this guide:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7ijfW73hR4

got Lutris up and running, with my 8BitDo Ultimate 2c controller (2.4g wireless and BT) working out of the box, which I was quite pleasantly surprised to see.

Just a few months later, I decided to do some gaming in Linux, and lo and behold, the controller just isn't working. There is no error, the logs don't have anything pertaining to the controller.

Specs:

AMD 5700x 3d

Rx 6900xt

32 gigs ram

Fedora 42 Workstation (Gnome)

Lutris

Games with the issue: Abandonware titles such as Marvel Ultimate Alliance (PC version) and NFS MW 2005 edition. The controller previously worked with both, just needed some buttons to be remapped.

tl;dr: The 8BitDo Ultimate 2c controller worked on games in Lutris out of the box in Fedora 42, and now a few months later, it does not work. Xbox controller is working. It DOES work in the same game installed in Bottles, but not in Lutris.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The Crew Motorfest now works on linux!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Aug 2025 - 4:05pm

Ivory Tower have tweaked some things to make it work on the steam deck, thus making it work on linux.
https://www.protondb.com/app/2698940

A little bumpy still. I had a crash trying to switch from HDR to SDR, and when i had HDR on, it didn't launch on next attempt. And it's about 2-3 minutes before the game boots up after clicking play (i almost gave up before i heard the fans spin up, thus i knew it's actually happening)

I recall a post on here few weeks back, someone complaining that the game doesn't work, well they made it work. Also to anyone who hates ubi, just keep scrolling, this doesn't hurt you.

My experience with truck simulator and help request

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Aug 2025 - 3:17pm

I've tried quite a few distros: Opensuse, Ubuntu including flavors and some derivatives, Debian, Arch including Endeavour and Cachy.

Euro Truck Simulator 2/ American Truck Simulator are the only games I play for a while now. But no matter what distro I use, I always get a black screen in the game with the background not being visible.

Also, if I'm buying a truck, that is black too. I can't customize anything. Only UI buttons like maps, drive, save and load etc. are visible.

In other distros (Pictured in Arch)

I've tried using wine-stable, wine-staging, tried using latest mesa from an ubuntu ppa, but nothing seems to work.

Only distro that has worked perfectly for me is fedora. I install wine from the default repos wine-10.12 (Staging) as of now. And it somehow works without using any other tool like Steam or Bottles while in other distros, there is a black background.

In Fedora

Has anyone else faced a similar issue and managed to fix it? I'd like to know what could be a possible solution as I want to use other distros too.

Which distro do you recommend that works well with dual monitors, with the vertical ultrawide monitor as in the photo?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Aug 2025 - 2:29pm

I used Linux Mint a long time ago and had a lot of problems because my dual monitor (Ultrawide monitor).

The middle monitor is 144Hz and the ultrawide is 60Hz.

The distro can be easy to maintain and ready to use, as I am a beginner.

Red Dead Redemption 2 feels laggy on Linux Mint despite high FPS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Aug 2025 - 2:14pm

Hi everyone,

I need some help with Red Dead Redemption 2 on Linux Mint. I’ve noticed a strange issue, the higher the FPS, the more laggy the game feels. At 60 FPS it feels smoother than at 100+. I’ve tried every possible Proton setting, but nothing seems to help. Even when capped at 60, it feels smooth and playable at first, but after about 30 minutes it starts feeling like 15 FPS even though the Steam FPS counter still shows 100–110 FPS. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a known fix or setting I should try? (On ryzen 5 5600 and rx 7700xt system)

Thanks in advance

Random black screens when connected to a 4K120Hz TV via HDMI2.1.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Aug 2025 - 1:09pm

Hi,

I've tried different settings and can't find an actual solution. My 7900xtx can't get stable image on a samsung 4K120Hz TV on any distro with KDE.

- Multiple distros (nobara, bazzite, OpenSuSE, Endevour, etc) behave the same when installed with KDE. Random black screens - like when having not enough bandwidth (I've got a high end active fiber HDMI cable that works perfectly well on Windows)

- If I activate VRR the blinking stops but my TV reports only 48Hz and it feels like 48Hz despite KDE screen settings showing 120Hz

- If I manually change to 60Hz the blinking also stops but 60Hz feels bad and laggy.
- Interestingly, Mint Linux with Cinnamon can do 4K120Hz without random black screens. No VRR option at all but it's still better than any other distro with KDE.

- DP to HDMI cable doesn't even give me 120Hz option and maxes out at 4K60Hz.

Any ideas?
Thanks :)
