Cs2 fps drop

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 6 Jun 2025 - 8:01pm

Hello guys i just wanted to ask you about a problem, I have a gtx 1650 ti laptop with pop os and when i play cs2 i have over 150 fps, no fps drops no nothing feels smooth like a butter, the problem is that at a random time (maybe it will be in the first match, maybe after 3 matches its totally random) in the begining of the round the fps from 150+ will stay around 30-40, and they will stay there till next round. After this round everything will go back to normal.

Also another problem that occurred to me the last 2 days is the fps drop when im moving my mouse, again it will start at random time and then i will move my mouse the fps from 150+ will go to 10-15, if i stop moving the mouse the fps will continue at 150+. So if will look at a place with a lot going on i will be okay, but if i move the mouse then boom 15 fps and full of tearing.

Ps The temperature of the laptop tested and its perfect, repasted it like 2 month ago

Not a native English speaker sorry for any mistake thanks

Wine won't load DLL file (error c000012f)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 6 Jun 2025 - 7:26pm

I have a game I'd like to run on my Mint installation, but Wine keeps refusing to run the .exe file. Here's the error message when I try running the game using the terminal:

root@device/mnt/69cd2f3c-e43e-43df-b540-22e59e1add49/folder/app# wine Application.exe

00f0:err:module:import_dll Loading library UnityPlayer.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\mnt\\69cd2f3c-e43e-43df-b540-22e59e1add49\\folder\\app\\Application.exe") failed (error c000012f).

0100:err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Importing dlls for L"Z:\\mnt\\69cd2f3c-e43e-43df-b540-22e59e1add49\\folder\\app\\Application.exe" failed, status c0000135

Fixes I've tried so far:
- running the file outside of root
- using various versions of Proton/Linux Runtime
- using Lutrix
- adding a DLL override
- redownloading all files

Any help would be appreciated :)

What GPU to get?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 6 Jun 2025 - 6:46pm

Hey all,

I am looking to upgrade my Radeon RX 6700XT. This GPU has been rock solid for me under Linux Mint and I get very decent results in the titles I play.

I really haven't considered switching to nVidia and, frankly, I am not really sure I care much for Ray Tracing. I know DLSS is nice, but since I don't plan to run Windows I don't think I would get any benefit from that.

I don't have time to be an avid gamer (spouse, kid, rugby, dogs and work take a lot of time!), but when I do game, I like to chill and enjoy story based titles. Yes! I'm a single player type of gamer.

So, given the 7900 XTX and the 9070 XT are in the same ballpark price wise, what are the pros and cons?

How to Best deal with Windows Only Projects/Games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 6 Jun 2025 - 6:07pm

Hello all, I know the customary answer to the above is "Don't" but there are a few exceptions that I would like to have access to again.

I consistently have issues getting the launcher of FF14 working with my PopOS instance, and have had the workaround solutions kill my install a few times.

Additionally, some of the small revival projects (Such as H&G revival or Ghost in the Shell revival) are windows Only.

Being on a RX 5700xt, I don't believe GPU pass thru will allow me to play using a Windows VM, but if there is a suggestion I am open to it. Secondarily, is a dual boot the best option? I have a 2TB drive I just don't need that was filled with many games I don't play when I swapped to Linux, which is still empty.

Suggestions welcome!

Any suggestions for good linux distros for gaming?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 6 Jun 2025 - 4:33pm

I am getting into PC gaming, and want to use linux because windows is crap rn and linux seems to play all the games I want. Now I'm wondering what distro to get. Two that caught my eye were Garuda and Pop!_OS. I'm not a total n00b and can navigate a computer well.

Edit: I would like to know your reason for your suggestions.
