New Crossfire RPG fork, Heroworld (Crossfire the Sandbox)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Jan 2026 - 4:25pm

Anybody here remember Crossfire RPG? Talk about a blast from the past!
I've been developing a new server called Heroworld and would love to team up with some CF fans on this project.
Heroworld is live and ready to play but the community is in rough shape. Come on over to the CF discord and see what's new!

(A link to the CF discord and client download can be found at the Crossfire homepage)

Creative Cloud working on wine 10.15

A forum post confirms Adobe Creative Cloud can run using the ie8 winetricks verb.
The original forum is currently down, but you can access it via the Wayback Machine:

I tested this method, and it works, but note that Creative Cloud needs to be pre-installed for it to run successfully.

Mordax a Doom Clone

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Jan 2026 - 3:07pm

MORDAX. No story. No mercy.
Three missions. One objective: Kill everything.

Armed to the teeth, you blast your way through enemy-infested levels, tearing through hordes of monsters and leaving nothing but smoke and carnage behind. Fast movement, brutal weapons, and raw old-school shooter action.

30 minutes. Three levels. Pure carnage.

Why does my game look like this?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Jan 2026 - 3:02pm

Game is Assassin's Creed Unity and LODs are completely broken under Proton for me. I've tried using mods and config file tweaks to try and fix it but to no avail. I'm not sure what info you need but my hardware is full AMD. 9070XT and a Ryzen 9 7900X3D.

Any fixes for this?

Drive format for gaming?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Jan 2026 - 3:00pm

I recently installed Fedora 43 KDE, and was watching a video where it's mentioned for gaming you want ext4 for the drive your games will be installed to. I only have a single drive, and (I assume during installation) it has been set as btrfs. Will this actually slow down my games, can I change it via reinstall, or is it a non-issue?

I got penguin switches!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Jan 2026 - 2:17pm

So this is for any Linux keebs out there, I just recently learned I could swap out switches on this keyboard and ended up deciding on these penguin switches from Akko! I simply found it ironic and rather befitting it pairs with my penguin operating system!

Mesa-git: no improvement in raytracing on 9070xt?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Jan 2026 - 1:21pm

I have ran a cp2077 benchmark on the cahyos mesa package and then with mesa-git and there was no difference.

Wasn’t Mesa 26 supposed to bring improvement in raytracing?

How do I change where a game, installed as a flatpak, installs to?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Jan 2026 - 12:57pm

I got Hytale because it's the hot new thing. It runs through a launcher which installs through a flatpak. However, due to how I set up my system when I was installing it I'm a bit low on space on the partition where the OS lies and where flatpaks install to. Usually I install to my storage partition, which has plenty of space. But there's no easy option to change the installation destination here, not that I can see. How can I change it?

Problems getting Battle.net to run on Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Jan 2026 - 12:28pm

I am trying to get Battle.net to run over a couple of days now, but I always encountered various crashes. Furthest I got, was Battle.net installed and opening, but without loading the Home/Games windows to install Games. Along the way, I also encountered various crashes during Installation and Startup. I followed troubleshooting docs like this one: https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/Battle.Net.md and also used LLMs to try and fix any issues, but so far nothing worked. I tried both Lutris and Bottles to install and run Battle.net.

System:
- Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS (Wayland only)
- Nvidia 2080 Super
- AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
- DE: COSMIC

Does anyone have experience with a comparable system setup and got Battle.net to run? Or have a bunch on what the underlying problem and solutions might be?

PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 no longer sets preset to M

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Jan 2026 - 12:13pm

When DLSS 4.5 launched PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 would set the DLSS preset to the latest, which is preset M. I'm running CachyOS and only now, after some updates I've noticed it no longer does so, instead it reverts to preset K. Additionally I have tried using different Proton versions (CachyOS native and slr aswell as Proton-GE 28) and neither dlss-swapper nor manually swapping DLLs solved the issue.
I'm aware that there's the option of forcing a preset via driver override but some games wouldn't launch when I've used this method.
Is anyone else experience the same issue? I'm new to Linux so any help and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Does openAG work on Linux?

When using Windows, I could open OpenAG, and things like advanced settings were installed alongside it, but now, even though there is a Linux build of OpenAG, I can't open it natively. Does anyone know why?
