Getting a GPU freeze if I use minecraft shaders with something plugged into my RX7600

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16 Dec 2025 - 9:28pm

I've posted about this off an on for about a year, as I seldom get a response . I had this on windows as well for a while, but that seemed to have been fixed before I switched.

This still happens in linux though, even a year later. I caused the issue with nothing in my RX7600 (I have a 9060XT currently as well and that's what my monitors were plugged into) And I got this in my Journalctl during that boot

I have the full Journalctl log from that on my Gdrive. Not sure if I can share the linux to gdrive here or not, but I do have a fourm post on the Arch Linux forms as I was trying to figure this issue out: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2278007#p2278007

I'm at my wits end with this GPU honestly, I might as well buy a RX580 to drive my AR glasses since I have nothing but issues with this card

Switched to Mint, gaming is terrible. Need help.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16 Dec 2025 - 9:04pm

Switched to Mint from Windows 11. I don't game a lot just 3 main games, Hell Let Loose, Ground Branch, and Madden. Madden through the EA port is unavailable on Linux, fine with that. But my 2 other steam games HLL (super laggy and slow, unplayable) and GB (won't launch). How do I rectify this without going back to Windows? Let me know if any other specs or settings are needed to help. Thanks!

Just like Google plan with Chrome, Mozilla aren't sitting still on expanding Firefox into something resembling a web browser but with more AI.

What is your favourite game on Linux to play with a controller on a TV?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16 Dec 2025 - 8:10pm

I love playing with K+M on my monitor but I would love something for my TV as well.

These last couple of months I have been emulating PS1-PS3 games, including the God of War saga. But native PC games would not hurt, bonus points if they have a Linux port.

Something that is easy to get into and relax with would be great. Bonux points if it's old enough to run at 4K on a 3070...

I have already played Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, Baldur's Gate 3, Rdr2, Uncharted 4, Dark Souls 2-3, playing Skyrim and Dark Souls Remastered rn so don't mention those games

God of War weird artifacts.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16 Dec 2025 - 7:55pm

Hello, I've recenly upgraded my pc and bought a second hand radeon 6750xt, im currently running fedora 42 and this is the only game where this happens. There are weird artifacts in the running particles for some reason, i've run some benchmarks on the gpu (superposition) and also in shadow of the tomb rider. No artifacts whatsoever in those benchmarks but I have to say that the performance in Shadow of the Tomb Rider was underwhelming (100fps avg). Is the GPU dying?

Meu linux crashou

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16 Dec 2025 - 7:54pm

Quando eu tento jogar algum jogo mais pesado (CyberPunk 2077, Marvel Rivals), o jogo trava e fica nessa tela:
Minhas peças são: I5 10400F, RX 5500 XT, 16 GB Ram
Era para rodar na teoria, mas o jogo morre depois de uns minutos jogando (Eu estou usando o CachyOS Hyprland).

Why Lact shows 374W power limit for 9070xt ?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16 Dec 2025 - 6:59pm

Why Lact shows 374W power limit for my steel legend 9070xt ?

Card default power limit is 304W and with 110% power limit in windows it reaches 340W max

but with lact in linux I can push it to 374W and its shows 374W power draw in mangohud while gaming

how is that possible ? and is it safe ?

Anyone else having constant crashes since today's 7.4 update? Sometimes I'm able to get into the game for 1-2min, though most of the time I'm immediately crashing on startup.

ETS2 mods break with Proton GE

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16 Dec 2025 - 6:51pm

I'm not overly hopeful for a solution to this, mostly I'm curious what's breaking here.

So, I have Euro Truck Simulator 2 installed in CachyOS. I also have a couple of mods. Some are from the Steam Workshop. Other mods I purchased elsewhere, and they get installed into the ETS2/mods folder.

When I try running the game with the default proton build, it has no issues with loading mods. getting the game to actually load a save file is another thing entirely.

I installed proton GE and decided to give that a shot. The problem is that with the game running under proton GE, every mod installed from the Steam Workshop loads no problem, but everything in the /mods folder is MIA, totally unavailable while in the mod manager in game.

I'm trying to find a compatibility layer that plays better with mods, the game is being extremely crash happy with any mods installed.

Help Needed to bring the Star Wars: TIE Fighter Total Conversion to Linux!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16 Dec 2025 - 6:04pm

Hello!

We are looking for help to get the Star Wars: TIE Fighter Total Conversion (TFTC) (and by extension X-Wing Alliance Upgraded) running smoothly on Linux. While we have a workaround to get the base game running, we need community support to stabilize the installation process and tackle some specific technical hurdles regarding HD playback.

We have a method to get the 2025 installer and the "SD version" of the game running. You can check out the current workaround here.

Help we need:

  • Testers & Scripters

    • Test the workaround: We need more people to verify the current installation method on different distros and hardware.
    • Lutris Script: We aim to create a reproducible runtime (likely via GE-Proton) and automate the setup with a Lutris installer script to handle the XWAU2025 installation and necessary Linux tweaks.
  • Developers & Reverse Engineers: The major roadblock right now is fixing the Concourse HD and MP4 video playback.

    • The Issue: The mod uses a hooking engine (by JeremyaFr) that relies heavily on Windows-specific libraries—specifically Direct2D, Media Foundation, and .NET, which are not fully supported or stable in Wine yet.
    • Our Goal: We need to either troubleshoot the Wine/Proton logs to implement missing functions OR rewrite specific hooks (specifically Hook_Concourse and tgsmush.dll) to use Linux-friendly libraries like SDL or ffmpeg.

If you have experience with Wine debugging, Direct2D, or C++ hooking, your expertise would be invaluable.

Let’s bring the Empire’s finest to Linux!

Happy to try to answer what I can, but there's an active Discord where most discussion happens.

Issues with ff14 camera and gamescope on Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16 Dec 2025 - 6:00pm

Hello! I made a switch from Bazzite to Pop!_OS yesterday and noticed that any mouse click in ff14 turned the camera counterclockwise by a whole chunk as well as upward. Holding the mouse meaning having the camera going crazy of course, making the game unplayable.

Looking online, it seems to be an old issue that some people managed to solve through mouse configuration (didn't solve the problem for me sadly). What do seem to fix it and what I had on back on Bazzite when it worked though was gamescope. Great! Let's go and install it then!

Sadly, it's not packaged for Pop!_OS but good news, there seem to be a way to do it by, uh... doing stuff with the distro at this address: https://github.com/pop-os/gamescope . There even is a set of instructions on the page for lost souls like me. Except that it throws me an error:

damien@Damien:~$ git submodule update --init meson setup build/ ninja -C build/ build/gamescope -- <game> fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git ERROR: Neither source directory 'build/' nor build directory None contain a build file meson.build. ninja: Entering directory `build/' ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

So I search the error online and I see that I need to "build" (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71734491/error-current-directory-is-not-a-meson-build-directory). So I execute those commands, even create a folder manually for the 3rd one and only get error after errors:

damien@Damien:~$ meson build ERROR: Neither source directory 'build' nor build directory None contain a build file meson.build. WARNING: Running the setup command as `meson [options]` instead of `meson setup [options]` is ambiguous and deprecated. damien@Damien:~$ meson compile -C build ERROR: Current directory is not a meson build directory: `/home/damien/build`. Please specify a valid build dir or change the working directory to it. It is also possible that the build directory was generated with an old meson version. Please regenerate it in this case. damien@Damien:~$ ~/$ meson setup /home/damien/meson/ bash: /home/damien/$: No such file or directory

At this point, it feels like I've already missed something I was expected to know. I tried to look for more information online but didn't find anything. Before I jump on a Fedora distro, I'd like to know if there really isn't something I can do.

Is it possible to play CS2 in stretch mode on GNOME? (gamescope)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16 Dec 2025 - 5:57pm

Hi, I’d like to try GNOME for gaming (I’m currently using KDE Plasma). The only thing holding me back is knowing how Gamescope works there. The truth is, the only game I use with Gamescope is CS2, and here’s my launch configuration: gamescope -w 1280 -h 960 -S stretch -f -r 240.0 --force-grab-cursor --adaptive-sync --immediate-flips -- %command%. If anyone plays CS2 on GNOME and uses stretch mode, please help me out! :,(
Distro: CachyOS
