As can be seen in the nvidia-smi output, the only process it supposedly runs is an X11 server (?), although when I do echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE it outputs Wayland. My GPU is Turing so following the Arch wiki I installed nvidia-open drivers as well nvidia-utils for the fbdev and modeset options.

As the title suggests, the game keeps closing and im not sure why. I was able to run this game when i had windows installed but on linux it doesnt work. Other games work on my system its just witchfire that ive been struggling with.

Ive tried verifying game files and i should have the right graphics drivers (nvidia 570) installed. Compatibility mode on the game doesnt seem to make a difference either.

Hello! I wanted to know if it's possible play windows games that are on drive A, launch them with Linux (drive B). Or should I install the games twice on their own drive format respectively? If this is the case, do I partition both drives' OSes away from their game partition?

In every games vc there are people who have really loud voices or talk too loudly and some are really quiet and i have to increase volume to hear the quiet ones but end up almost damaging my hearing because of how much the really loud voices become after increasing the volume because of that. Is there a solution to this?

• Headset: Valve Index
• GPU: AMD RX 7900 XTX (XFX Speedster MERC310 RX 7900 XT)
• CPU: 7800X3D
• OS: Fedora Linux KDE 41
• Flatpak Steam, SteamVR, GE-Proton-RTSP, acquired through ProtonPlus flatpak

I'm having stuttering issues when there's enough people nearby in VRChat. This page on Linux VR Adventures Wiki states that it's important that those with AMD GPUs prevent stuttering caused by AMD GPUs trying to power save in between frames, and that they should do it by adding a kernel arg, and then using CoreCtrl, an overclocking utility, to set performance mode to Advanced, and setting the power profile to VR.

However, I am scared to apply the settings, because when I set the performance mode to advanced, it makes sliders appear, and the sliders seem to be way off from where I'd expect them to be, given the specs of my GPU listed on TechPowerUp. I attached an image of CoreCtrl to this post.

TechPowerUp clock speeds: Base clock of 2075 MHz, shader and game clock of 2515 Mhz, boost clock of 2617 Mhz

CoreCtrl clock speeds: Minimum slider set to just 500 Mhz. Maximum slider all the way at 2960 Mhz, which is way higher than all the numbers on TechPowerUp

TechPowerUp memory clock: 2500 Mhz, 20 Gbps effective

CoreCtrl memory clock: Minimum set to just 97 Mhz. Maximum set to 1250 Mhz, which is way lower than the number on TechPowerUp

What should I set the sliders to? I'm not looking to overclock. I simply want to stop the GPU from trying to power save in between frames, which the wiki says is the cause of stutter with AMD GPUs

CoreCtrl sliders

Things are smooth when I'm alone or with few people, but once there's enough players, I get crazy stuttering / rubberbanding / whatever you'd call it. Strangely, the in-game FPS almost always shows stable at exactly half of whatever I have the headset's refresh rate set to in the SteamVR settings. If it's 144 Hz, it'll be 72 FPS in VRChat when it's stuttering. I tried 80 Hz, and then it was 40 FPS in VRChat when the problem was happening

I found this steam page that says:

SteamVR for Linux cannot run properly within the unsupported Steam Snap or Steam Flatpak packages as they break both Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) leasing and asynchronous reprojection. The native distribution package should be used instead.

Would removing the flatpak and getting the steam that you get from the software center after enabling "RPM Fusion for Fedora 41 - Nonfree - Steam Source" fix the issue then?

There's also a page on Linux VR Adventures Wiki about using CoreCtl to stop stuttering caused by AMD GPUs trying to power save in between frames. But wouldn't it stutter all the time if this were the issue, rather than only when there's enough players around?

Hey everyone.

Still somewhat new to linux and currently I'm struggling with Genshin Impact. When I log in for the first time after installing it works, but when I change my video settings the game freezes and it crashes, sometimes I have to restart my whole PC and sometimes after it freezes the entire desktop crashes and I have to log back into my PC.

I've tried everything (I think) changing distros, using Heroic and that one launcher but it still crashes, I can play Honkai Star Rail perfectly, it's just Genshin.

If anyone has had the same problem or knows a way of helping me I'd appreciate it a lot.

Thanks in advance

Hi, and today I am looking at The Last of Us Part 2. Finally we get Part 2 and once again it looks like Nixxes has delivered the goods. This port is definitely better than Part 1 which had super long shader loading times and performed worse over all. This time they are hiding the shader compilation in the cutscenes and if you skip, it takes under 20 secs and the shader compilation is done.

On launch I did see reports of audio issues, such as stutter and popping. For the audio issues the fix is quite simple, changing the min quant to 512 in your pipewire config. Apart from that the game runs very well, and just be warned, it is quite CPU hungry on entry level CPU's and it was using all the threads on my 8 core.

I tested Linux vs Windows 10, and to my surprise, the Linux distros crushed Windows, so much so that I retested and re-checked my settings etc multiple times. I even downgraded AMD drivers on Windows to check if there was a regression, but the latest driver is required(you get a pop up warning you of outdated drivers) and they perform similar.

My suspicion is that it can be a combination of the Linux CPU scheduler(BORE) just being better than the one on Windows 10, as from my testing the CPU usage was all over the place, and/or that Mesa is just plain better than the AMD Windows driver, as seen by the unstable GPU clock and usage. Let me know in the comments if you have a similar experience or if you think something else may be causing this.

So i was thinking about trying to run a trainer (no i'm obviously not gonna use it on multiplayer games, i would never use such a thing on those) like FLiNG Trainers or WeMod for example to mess around, i use EndeavourOS and was wondering if it's possible to run either a trainer or perhaps something like Cheat Engine (a cheat engine alternative could work too) using wine/proton and if it would work. Hope this isn't a dumb question, i was simply just curious. Thanks!

feel like more people should know about this distro, the speed of CachyOS with the stability of Debian.
this is the distro i was able to finally ditch windows for!

I just moved to gnome because kde is broken in cachy is rn. Does it support vrr in games? I can't see an option. Also my previous gamescope command isn't activating HDR. I can toggle it but the effect isn't there. Just a dim screen. Is this fixable? I'm used to this all working on kde.

Hi there!

BeamNG is developing a native Linux client for their simulator. Right now you need Proton to download it, but after that you can run natively.

As you can see here, if I start the sim via terminal (it's DRM-free) it works fine.
But if I start it via Steam, it doesn't work.

Has anyone faced similar issues?

I'm running the game with the following launch command:
/mnt/WD01/Documents/Games/Steam/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/BeamNG.drive/BinLinux/BeamNG.drive.x64 %command%

The new Nvidia drivers have brought VRR to those of us using multi-monitor setups; rejoice! Except hold on: it's a little messed up (at least for me it is) and I'm curious if anyone else is facing issues.

First things first: I'm running Fedora 41 with the Nvidia 570.133.07 drivers and a 3060ti, kernel 6.13.9, and two 1440p monitors (one 144Hz, the other 60Hz). The 144Hz monitor is the one with FreeSync (it's a Gigabyte G27Q).

Any time a fullscreen application goes below specifically 52Hz, the monitor loses all semblance of hold on its own refresh rate and will erratically flicker between seemingly random numbers ranging from the current framerate all the way up to its max refresh rate; if you lower its refresh rate to 120 or 60 it does the same, capping at the lower numbers instead. I've done a lot of testing with VRR Test and that number really is the magic number; anything less and things go haywire, it's flicker galore.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this specific issue. Gamescope doesn't fix things, exclusive fullscreen doesn't fix things, busy wait doesn't fix things, software cursors don't fix things... I'm at a bit of a loss and this doesn't happen in Windows (I know because I just checked). I can live without VRR to be sure, but I'm wondering if this is an Nvidia issue or something else entirely since I've heard AMD isn't free of weirdness like this either.

Hey there! I know there are no definitive right answers to this but I'm looking for recommendations and experiences. I have been running Mint with my 3090 for a while now but have recently upgraded to an HDR enabled OLED monitor which is when I try to log in using Wayland I get a black screen and nothing else. I do not really want to wait for Mint to catch up and want to try a new distro that has more feature support, but I wonder if I should also try and sell my 3090 and switch to a 7800 xt? Would love to hear some thoughts.

My wife and I are both gamers, and switch between playing gameplay focus games(ffxiv, overwatch, wow etc) and story games. Because our setup has us back to back, when one of us is playing a good story game, we'd normally screen share on discord so the other can watch on a 2nd monitor while we play our nonsense. But ever since I made the switch over to Linux(Arch with Hyperland) Discord streaming was at first non existent and the current implementation is horrible for me, like 10 fps.

Just curious if anyone has a suggestion for a lan software that can do this pretty easily? I know I could just stream it on twitch with OBS but since its just for us to screen share I figured local hosted would be a better option.

Whenever recording with OBS it seems rather unstable and I also can't find an option to only record the audio of one window [it only records the whole output].

I can't find a fix and I'm honestly not 100% dedicated to OBS so if there is either a fix or a replacement I'm cool with either.

BLUF: Use the old dstorage and dstoragecore dlls to fix the crash on start up. Seems pretty ubiquitous across distros. You can get them from nexusmods.
https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/1539

PSA: Title Update 1 updated some Directstorage files that cause MH Wilds to crash on launch after a lengthy "program is not responding" issue.

Rolling back to the prior version dstorage.dll and dstoragecore.dll files fixes the issue. You can find them at nexusmods. Some saint uploaded them.

Posting here for visibility.

Crash experienced on EndeavourOS and feedback from several other distros with the same issue.

Cheers.

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone has any experience in running The Division 2 – Steam version – on Linux.

I am currently running EndeavorOS. I'm not a fan of Lutris, and am even less fond of Ubisoft Connect, so I figured that since I also have the game on Steam, I'll give it a go. ProtonDB is not particularly helpful here, because most advice I had found was about running it from Ubisoft Connect or SteamDeck.

I've tried different Proton versions, even several ProtonGE ones, to no avail. So I'm wondering if it's even possible to run Steam version of The Division 2 on Linux – if anyone has any input or experience with it, please, let me know!
