discord on linux (im on steam deck) STILL sucks?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 hours 57 min ago

I do not have access to a decent windows computer. i only have a steam deck and my girlfriend likes to watch me play games to help her sleep. this has worked for a short while but i9've had some issues with discord, mostly stemming from audio. having to restart as audio from games are gone, but the worst of the issues have started right now and i've experienced this before.

it will not pick up my own headset audio, i know the audio is fine as i have tested it elsewhere (other applications on steam deck, third party mic test etc) and they all seem to work fine it just seems like a discord issue. Does anyone have any reccomendations? fixes, alternatives etc would be appreciated

Consegui rodar a dublagem PT-BR do Elden Ring no Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 hours 28 min ago

Depois de apanhar um pouco, consegui rodar a dublagem PT-BR do Elden Ring no Linux 🐧🔥 Postando aqui porque vi muita gente dizendo que não funciona fora do Windows, mas funciona sim usando Steam + Proton.

📁 Onde colocar os arquivos (parte mais importante)

Dentro da pasta do jogo, normalmente:

Steam/steamapps/common/ELDEN RING/Game/

A dublagem usa as pastas:

  • movie
  • movie_dlc

Elas ficam direto na pasta raiz do jogo, assim:

ELDEN RING/Game/ ├─ eldenring.exe ├─ modengine2_launcher.exe ├─ config_eldenring.toml ├─ movie/ ├─ movie_dlc/

👉 Recomendo fazer backup das pastas originais antes de substituir.

▶️ Como iniciar o jogo (parte essencial no Linux)

Pra funcionar no Linux, é necessário iniciar o jogo pela Steam usando esse comando nas opções de inicialização:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%

Se você usa MangoHud, pode colocar ele junto antes do %command%.

Depois disso, é só abrir o jogo normalmente pela Steam.

Aqui funcionou de boa, logo no começo o narrador já fala em PT-BR 🎙️
Então pra quem joga Elden Ring no Linux: dá pra usar a dublagem sim.

Se alguém estiver tentando fazer funcionar e travar em alguma parte, comenta aí 👊

Link do mod pra quem nao conhecia:https://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/4295

Forza Horizon 4 freezes my entire OS after a few hours of gameplay and I don't know how to fix it, can anyone help me?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 hours 59 min ago

I like to play FH4 sometimes (pirated, this game is a Abandonware), I play using Proton and it works great at first, the problem is that after a while the game starts to lag and freeze for no reason, so you can think "ok, just alt+f4 and boot it again"... No, i can't, Because my OS freezes along with the game, if I can't close the game before it freezes completely, I'm forced to manually restart my PC. Can someone help me?

More info:

My GPU use go to 0%, I left the game overlay on and noticed this.

I'm using Linux Mint and the steam launcher.

This also happens on my laptop if i move my ssd whith the OS and my HD with the game to my laptop.

All other games works fine.

I updated the game, nothing changed.

I can't ask this on FH4 sub, i got banned by mentioning piracy... of an Abandonware.

Need help modding Skyrim!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Dec 2025 - 11:17pm

Hi, i recently switched to linux and most of everything has been going alright, but my main issue has been trying to play Skyrim SE. My machine is quite weak and I used to have some tweaks to help performance as well as a couple mods for fun (mostly furry shit tbh). I've done a couple bits of progress getting it all back, but there's a lot of things I don't get and I'd like someone to help me go on a step by step or something. So far I've managed:

1- installed the game

2- got MO2 working with nexus via NaK

3- failed at changing the configurations with bethIni

4- failed at using FNIS.

If someone understands well enough of these and has some time, pls msg me or give me links to guides i can use! Thx in advance

What are some must have packages for gaming on Linux in 2025 for you?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Dec 2025 - 11:11pm

I'm still kinda new to Linux but every time I have to install Arch I always download gamemode, mangohud, ProtonUp, wine (wine-mono, wine-gecko and winetricks) and of course mangojuice to configure mangohud, is there some other packages that you think are essential for performance?

Is there a way to launch games using Reloaded II mod manager alongside custom DLLs at the same time? (Steam/Proton)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Dec 2025 - 11:05pm

Title pretty much says it all. When launching a game through Reloaded-II the game ignores launch commands in Steam’s launch options.

For example, I have mods setup for the greatest game ever made (Final Fantady Tactics) and they work flawlessly, but I also want to use FFT-Fix, a custom .dll that enables ultrawide support as well as other features. When I launch the game through Reloaded-II it will ignore the launch options I added to Steam, thus ignoring the FFT-Fix DLL.

Anybody know a way to have both work at the same time? Thanks!

unable to start ubisoft connect

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Dec 2025 - 10:56pm

i just installed linux mint yesterday for the first time, so i am completely new to this.

i downloaded ubisoft connect via lutris yesterday because i am playing through the older assassins creed games right now. i am able to log into my ubisoft account and i can see my games, but if i try to launch one of them or ubi connect itself, this error will come up. i tried adding libraries (sudo apt install winetricks dotnet48 vcrun2019 d3dx11_43 corefonts), changing almost every setting inside lutris and reinstalled it 3 times on different hard drives but nothing will work. i also noticed that most of the tutorials are atleast a year old, so maybe something changed?

could somebody of you maybe help me with this problem? i would be very glad, im trying to get it work since yesterday and at this point its getting frustrating.

Anno 2205 (steam) won't run on Ubuntu Studio 25.10.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Dec 2025 - 10:37pm

I have been running Ubuntu Studio on an all AMD system as a linux newcomer for 2 or 3 months now. My CPU is a TR 2970WX (24-core/48-thread), and GPU is RX6700XT. Of the about 20 games I've tried to run so far, the only one that doesn't work for me is Anno 2205. (Anno 2070, however launches just fine)

In Proton Experimental, Ubisoft Connect launches fine, does all of its sync stuff, then attempts to launch Anno 2205, which opens a black window that immediately crashes. I've tried all the things I can see have worked for others on ProtonDB, and some other AI hallucinations. But nothing seems to work. It looks like most people who get it to work are on some form of Arch. But as recently as a month ago, I see someone on Ubuntu reports it working with no environment variables applied.

I can't seem to will myself to declare it a lost cause forever. Can you help me? A clean proton log running Experimental without any further launch variables will be included in the comments.

Logitech G903 Mousewheel on Fedora

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Dec 2025 - 10:27pm

I have recently moved completely to Linux and am struggling with my Logitech D903 mouse wheel whilst playing games like CS2.

It has a hyperfast scrollwheel which can be locked with a button on the mouse, and when I used to use this on Windows I found that 1 click of the mouse wheel whilst "locked" would, on CS2 for example, move down 1 space to the next weapon. Now on Fedora Workstation however, the slightest movement on the mouse wheel is picked up and moves throughout my loadout. I can see this on the browser too if I scroll on a page and lightly touch my mouse wheel.

Is there anything I can do to make this work how I am used to from Windows? On Windows I used Logitech G Hub which I understand is not available on Linux, but maybe G Hub is what was stopping this from being an issue on Windows?

Titanfall 2 freezing 1 second after Startup on Linux Mint 22.1

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Dec 2025 - 9:52pm

Problem Description:

Up to a few weeks ago, Titanfall 2 started without issue via Steam with Proton. But for a few weeks now, it freezes in the menu screen shortly after startup and is stuck there. You can see the background move at startup for a second before it freezes. It seems like other users on ProtonDB report similar issues starting a few weeks ago: ProtonDB - Titanfall 2. I tinkered around quite a bit, but I can't seem to find a solution. I have a hunch that is has to do with the connection to the respawn servers. Any ideas are appreciated.

Specs and start options:

Linux Mint 22.1
Kernel: 6.8.0-90-generic
Vulkan Instance Version: 1.3.275

Steam Launch option gamemoderun %command% -noborder -windowed

Proton 9.0-4 (tried other versions)

Need for Speed Heat has another issue: No DualShock detected no matter if I toggle Steam Input on or off.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Dec 2025 - 9:00pm

My specs:

-Acer Aspire 3 A315-42-R1B0 (Ryzen 5 3500U,Radeon Vega 8,24GB of RAM and 1TB SSD)

-OS: elementaryOS 8.1 Circe,based upon Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

A TL;DR of what is happening: Bought NFS Heat on Steam's Winter Sale,with the intention of installing either Unite or Evolution mods. I opted for Evolution, then I solved the problem I had with FrostyModManager on my previous post on this sub by running it on normal wine,now game boots to title screen and mods apply correctly.

However I have another hiccup,why does the game doesn't wanna pick up any controller? I tried both my DualShock 3 and DS4 with different cables and on the 3 USBs,but the game only picks up my keyboard. Is it the EA App interfering with Steam Input in some way or the other?

I run Steam Flatpak, and I have the following Proton Experimental arguments set up here:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b"%command% -dataPath ModData/EvoMain PROTON_EAC_RUNTIME=1

I'm not sure what is going on,if someone is kind enough to explain I'll thank them.

an FPS gauge app?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Dec 2025 - 8:31pm

In order to try to find a balance between performance and eye candy for any game, I like being able to see the FPS in game. I know not every game has such a built in feature. For games that do not, what is a good app for this? Also, I am guessing that such an app I'll have to start up before the game, am I right? If not, please enlighten me. Thank you.
