Anyone trying to play Star Wars: Fallen Order. I finally found a fix!!!!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 6 Feb 2026 - 11:58am

Went through a whole day trying to get this game to launch properly and it always refused to launch properly until then I tried looking on protondb.com to see if there was anything that might help. Of course a few launch options later, the game finally loads and plays on Linux. If anyone has a game that doesn't work I would highly suggest you try looking on protondb.com to see if anyone has a workaround like i did. I am currently using Proton10.0-4 and the command is the following.

cmd=(%command%); cmd[-1]="$STEAM_COMPAT_INSTALL_PATH/SwGame/Binaries/Win64/SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe"; "${cmd[@]}"

Unable to get tutorial videos and cutscenes to show in Nioh 3

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 6 Feb 2026 - 10:23am

I am using Omarchy (Arch), with a Ryzen 7 3700X, an RX 7700XT, and the game is on an SSD. I am playing on Steam, using GE-Proton10-29. The game works fine, and the performance is decent as well, but I cannot get videos of any kind to play. The regular cutscenes have audio, but show just a black screen. Same with the tutorial and skill menu videos. The video box there also just shows a black screen.

I have tried a couple different versions of Proton and that didn't work. I used Protontricks to install MIcrosoft/Windows Media Foundation, along with Quartz, and that didn't do anything either. I don't think I can play the game like this. I need to be able to fix this, or I'm gonna have to request a refund for now.

Trying to install a game with Lutris but keep getting a low disk space error?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 6 Feb 2026 - 10:09am

Hey folks, I'm trying to install a repack and the installer is telling me I don't have enough disk space. Which, I definitely do, according to the system monitor, I should have around 490 gb available. I am using the default /games folder that lutris has installed all my games to so far.

I have tried using different wine versions in the runner options as well as installing newer versions than the default with ProtonUp-qt.

It's worth noting that I'm still pretty new when it comes to using Lutris as well as Linux in general. So, I might just be doing something wrong on a very basic level that I just haven't learned yet.

If anybody else has run into a similar issue, any help would be appreciated.

Need help with steam deck

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 6 Feb 2026 - 8:32am

Okay so I had gotten a dock for my steam deck a few weeks ago and after I was done testing it and had disconnecting it from the dock, waking up the deck caused this EXTREMELY loud sound to happen, almost like a really bad audio feedback loop that wouldn't stop until I restarted it. I'm looking for a way to avoid it from happening again (And before anyone asks yes I tried asking on the steam deck subreddit first and got no answers at all)

Mangohud with Gamescope in Heroic flatpak problems? Not quite but still sketchy

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 6 Feb 2026 - 7:56am

Basically the option --mangoapp for Gamescope doesn't work or launches outside the game window but adding MANGOHUD=1 to the environment variables displays Mangohud over Gamescope correctly.

Supposedly the Mangohud environment variable doesn't work properly and it's no longer supported but it works better than --mangoapp in my case for some reason?

Controller issues

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 6 Feb 2026 - 6:47am

I was hoping someone here had some experience with the PDP Vitrix Pro BFG (Playstation) controller on Linux?

No issues getting it going in wired mode, but since it is wireless I definitely want to be able to use it that way. Any recommendations?

Using 'Linux 6.18.8-3-cachyos'

Edit: As a note it works fine on the Steamdeck running steamos
