Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with Borderlands 2 through Steam using Proton. Ive tried 6 or so proton versions and scoured both google and protonDB, but can not find anyone with the same issue. When Borderlands 2 is fullscreen or windowed fullscreen, I can not navigate the main menu or inventory with my mouse, only KB. Occasionally it will accept a mouse click, but will not allow me to change what is highlighted. I have reinstalled, tried Proton versions ranging from 6-10, including the 2 newest GE versions. At first I though it was a focus issue, but since KB works fine I'm not too sure.

I am running Arch with Wayland, Linux Kernel is 6.17.1. WM is Hyprland. 2080ti, i9-9900k. Thank you for any possible help!

Edit: I forgot to mention I've been TSing this on and off for a month or so, there has been a driver update since Ive noticed the issue and I am currently on 580.95.05

I use the Bedrock Launcher to play Bedrock, the version that requires the paid game from the Play Store, and recently I realized that I can't change my skin, I just can't. Does anyone know how I can solve this???? I don't want to have the base skin on every map I enter...

I'm using Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon and playing Witcher 3 through Steam. It runs great, except for when I try to do business with NPCs (so far I've only tried blacksmiths).

I can do stuff in the menu it seems: sell/buy/repair etc, but when I exit and select the 'Goodbye' option, it seems to crash. The game just locks up.

Sometimes if I just leave it, it will start responding again, but only for a few seconds, then it'll crash completely. Sometimes I can open the Mint menu with the keyboard and kill the process, other times I can't do anything and have to reboot.

Everything else seems to run flawlessly, but I can't sell my loot or repair my gear. Any help would be appreciated. If I could even figure out what logs to check, that might help.

Hi all, I recently built a PC with an RX 9060XT and installed CachyOS. I've downloaded SpiderMan 2 and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Both games support FSR 4, but game settings only let me use FSR 3.1. Any idea how I can enable FSR 4?

Things Ive tried:

1. Installing mesa-git
2. Steam launch argument for the fsr 4 upgrade as 1
3. installing proton-cachyos

But the game still shows me upscale method as FSR 3.1.0. Can someone help?

I am not sure what updated caused this but as of lately when playing games such as valheim, KDC1, KDC2 with proton wayland using proton EM or GE, the mouse cursor from the menu gets stuck on the screen where last used and stays on the screen when moving the keyboard and mouse. Alt tabbing out and back in seems to fix this however the second I go into the inventory screen or the settings menu it is back on the screen and stuck in the center.

Only games so far this does not appear to happen in is New World. Going back to X11 the problem goes away, however I find the performance is better using wine wayland.

I have tried utilizing protontricks and winecfg to capture in full screen however it is not an issue of the mouse movement being captured but an issue of the last known place being stuck. This did not appear to be an issue when I used my computer last month.

Can anyone recreate this issue and or know how to solve it.

Using arch linux with the most recent kernel, Mesa-git and KDE on a 9070xt

I've also tried the normal arch mesa to no avail

Because GOG Galaxy stinks of shit. Even on Windows.

Anyone sane would use offline installers after spending 2 months on Galaxy.

I think it's illogical to use Linux while pushing back GOG because Linux players are anti-DRM by definition (otherwise I don't understand why you have Linux).

Valve has done good things for Linux but its pro-DRM philosophy goes against the Linux spirit, whether you like it or not.

TLDR: The output works (speakers), but not the microphone. I've followed all guides that suggest to use alsamixer to switch the PCM Capture Source from Line In to External Mic. No success.

Context:

The alsamixer trick is the official way to fix the issue, from what I've seen. It works for others. In my case, after doing that, I can hear myself talk through the External Mic Playback (if I up the gain), but nothing is recorded on the Capture side. In other words, the feedback in my hears is working, but not the output of the mic towards the outside. So I know my microphone is capable of recording stuff, since I hear myself in the feedback, but it is not sent to the right place on the capture side.

I've tried with only External Mic being captured, or both Line In and External Mic captured. The other two options are muted.

Technical details:

Checking more in details, the issue with this DAC seems to come from the fact that if you run pactl list cards:

Ports: analog-input-linein: Line In iec958-stereo-input: Digital Input (S/PDIF) analog-output-speaker: Speakers iec958-stereo-output: Digital Output

You don't see any analog-input-mic or something like that.

For example, in my motherboard audio solution, this two guys show up:

analog-input-rear-mic: # blah blah analog-input-front-mic: # blah blah

The main issue then is that the DAC only has one input on the PulseAudio/PipeWire level, but then on the "ALSA level", you must switch between "Line In", "External Mic", "What U Hear" and another one. This is probably something that the driver is handling automatically and transparently on Windows.

No matter what I do, even setting up udev rules (confirmed to work via journalctl), the source resets to "Line In" all the time and it doesn't work.

I'm on POP_OS 24.04. The microphone is detected properly inside a Windows 11 VM (KVM).

Trying out many different shaders on linux, but most wont load or have graphical issues.
To list a few:
IterationT
IterationRP
Shrimple

My question is; is this just a me issue or something else?
mainly trying to get iterationRP to work as there is a "patch" to make interationT (not RP) work.
https://github.com/IrisShaders/Iris/issues/1030#issuecomment-2399424802
Im assuming something similar can be done to make the "RP" version work but dont have the know how

relevant system info:
Arch (Btw)
9070
Ryzen 5 9600x
OpenGL version: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 25.3.0-devel (git-943ac08280)

As stated in the title, I am trying to get the following controller to work
https://rhythmgamer.com/products/guitar-hero-controller-pc-wireless-playstation-3-ps3-pc-clone-hero?variant=41148037726252
with no luck. I am using PopOS currently. It turns on and connects to my computer, but the computer doesn't recognize it as a device. I have heard about /etc/bluetooth/input.conf , but I cannot find either the file or where it would be located to create it myself. When I tried using a fork of Bluez, it gave me the error message:

connection failed: br-connectoin-create-socket .

Using the lsusb command gives me this:

Has anyone managed to get this game working on linux? https://store.steampowered.com/app/2957700/Sensei_I_Like_You_So_Much/

Im running Debian 12 on my laptop with an i5. Should run fine going by the requirements on steam. Also I haven't messed with gaming on linux in years. Would I use PlayonLinux? Proton? Do I still install the game through Steam?

It used to run fine on windows 11, but now when I open it, it shows the UE5 intro fine, then the screen stays black and it times out with a lowlevelfatal error. Any advise?

I use a laptop, its an Acer Aspire-A315-24PT

Ive tried some simple solutions, such as running it windowed and using -dx11/dx12 to no avail. Otherwise, I'm unsure on how to really tackle this since this game is not the largest.

Compatibility wise it's one "proton hotfix"

when i launch the game, i get this popup and it after pressing ok or waiting a bit it launches the game but as the title suggests, every mod works except for archivexl and codeware. the mods that have those two as dependencies just dont work (except for WinterInNC). mods installed with the latest version of the nexus mods app.

I made a post here about an app I launched, Zordeer, but without giving many details or showing how it works.

So I made this channel and posted some videos using Zordeer and some of its functions, they are uncut videos.

You don't need to see them to use Zordeer, but I thought it was important to record how it works.

I recorded these videos on Kubuntu 25.10.

The link to the Zordeer repository is this: https://github.com/Kyuyrii/Zordeer

With Microsoft going full spyware with Windows 11 closing the loopholes for local accounts, I am considering Linux. But before I take the idea seriously, I have some concerns.

My PC has an AMD AM4 Ryzen 7 5700X3D with 32GB of memory. I just bought a PNY GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. I'm currently on Windows 10, and I can play Cyberpunk with ray tracing on at mostly high settings, getting 58-60 FPS at 1440p (my current monitor doesn't support 4k). My questions are:

• I've heard that Nvidia GPUs don't work well with Linux. Drivers take forever to update, and it's only recently that 5070 cards are getting support
• Games run 20% slower on Linux. I find this unacceptable if true
• I want ray tracing. I like the pretty. Path tracing slows things and doesn't have the same attraction

If you are currently running Linux, using a 5070 Ti, and playing Cyberpunk with ray tracing at 1440p, please tell me how you like it, what distro you are using, how difficult it was to set up, and what kind of FPS you are seeing

I have installed Fedora KDE, and have World of Tanks running via Steam. Unfortunately, the cursor appears very small. I suspect this is related to using a 4K display - I have it running at 4k resolution but at 200% scale so it looks like 4k. Everything else seems to scale correctly in the game, just not the cursor. I found a possible solution that said to add "XCURSOR_SIZE=32 %command%" in the launch options (although I used 64 instead of 32 as I had a similar issue in World of Warcraft and 64 looked to be right for that) but it doesn't seem to affect the cursor at all. I had the same issue a couple of months ago when I tried using Mint but didn't get a resolution there either.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I could try to fix this?

Thanks.

My Dad and I own EA's Star Wars Battlefront II on Steam and plan to move to Linux Mint from Windows 10. He is already on Mint(22.2) with the latest working drivers(I am still on Windows 10 for now) and can't launch the game at all(opens EA app loading window then closes/fails). It's also a problem with Titanfall 2 and likely other EA games. While it is easier to launch EA games on other platforms like Epic I don't want to buy the game again 2 more times(No I'm not gonna pirate it). So if someone could tell me how to get EA games to work on Mint without buying the game again that'd be great. Whether it's Proton, GE-Proton, Lutris, Bottles, WinBoat; I don't care. Please help!

Extra details:
Dad's PC:
....CPU: Intel ??
....GPU: Nvidia RTX 3060 TI
....RAM: 64gb ddr4
My PC:
....CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
....GPU: Nvidia RTX 3080 10gb
....RAM: 128gb ddr4
