Demo experience has been a stutter fest regardless of graphics settings. Running a 4070 Super and 9800x3D on Fedora 43 using and the frame timing is all over the place. 120 FPS one second and then 11 half a second later non-stop. Curious if anyone else has given it a go?

Hi all,

First, as a disclaimer, I am a complete Linux newbie, so please have patience with me. I switched Windows for Zorin OS 18. One of the first changes I made in the system was to change the /home folder to a Data drive, if that helps.

Right now, I am having a terrible time making Proton work on Steam. I tried a few games to have an idea of gaming viability and the results were underwhelming to say the least. It follows what I learned so far:

1. Some games run when I use the standard linux version.
2. Games do not run when I try to use Proton
   1. Trying to understand why this could be the case, I opened Steam through the terminal and observed the following sequence of error messages:
      1. vulkan: No DRI3 support detected - required for presentation
      2. Note: you can probably enable DRI3 in your Xorg config
      3. XIO: fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server ":0" after 564 requests (473 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
   2. I followed the advice from this post and created the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf file. However, the tests u/BetaVersionBY mentioned lead nowhere. The command DRI3 /var/log/Xorg.0.log got me the DRI3: command not found message; whereas the command grep DRI3 /var/log/Xorg.0.log got me grep: /var/log/Xorg.0.log: No such file or directory

At this point, I feel like I tested a lot of things, but games keep not booting and I don't feel like I am getting any closer to a solution.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Bestest,

R.

Hey folks, Im a little new to Arch-Linux so I'd appreciate any help I can get. I've been excited for the Nioh 3 demo but cannot for the life of me get it to full screen properly.

The game launches in windowed mode even with -fullscreen set as a launch option and regardless of what in-game settings I save. And when toggling from windowed to borderless mode, it fills the extra screen space with the grey box you can see in the screenshot.

I've heard talk of gamescope being used to fix stuff like this, or running things in Lutris to get accessed to the more robust toolkit it has. But I feel like this is something that should be a relatively easy fix? I'd be thrilled if it was something I'm just not aware of.

I have an old junk HP laptop available and want to install Linux and Minecraft Bedrock Edition for my son to play. I don't need anything else beyond that and the ability to connect to other LAN games.

What is the best version (or easiest to use) Linux for this and how hard would it be to do for a non-Linux user?

I'm a newbie when it comes to Linux so I'm not sure what to do. I did a software update on Zorin OS 18, and now when I tried starting Vintage Story, a game which used to work with no issue, it gives me this error, and the game won't start at all.

While updating I did see it updated something to do with Nvidia as well so I guess it updated the drivers.

Could anybody help me fix this problem?

Hey everyone,

I’m losing my mind trying to get Combat Master to actually let me play with friends on Linux. I’m running a bit of an older setup (EliteBook 840 G2), but the game itself runs fine—it’s just the matchmaking that’s completely broken.

The Setup:

• OS: Ubuntu 25.04 (Plucky)
• Specs: i5 Broadwell / Intel HD 5500 / 16GB RAM
• Steam: Native Linux client
• Proton tried: 7.0-6, 8.0-5, Experimental, and a few GE versions.

The Loop of Doom: The game launches perfectly. I can mess with my loadout, hit the shop, and move through the menus without a hitch. I can even see my friends in the lobby and join their "Rooms."

But the second we try to launch a Custom or Private match, everything falls apart:

1. It says “Launching match...”
2. Immediately flips back to “Looking for Match.”
3. The timer usually freezes around 0.4s or 0.5s.
4. GNOME gives me the dreaded “steam_app_2281730 is not responding” window.
5. My friends get pulled into the game, but I’m just stuck staring at a frozen screen. Clicking "Wait" does absolutely nothing.

Everything I’ve already thrown at it:

• Nuked the compatdata folder for a clean prefix.
• Tried every Proton version under the sun.
• Disabled ESYNC/FSYNC.
• Messsed with WINEDLLOVERRIDES (xaudio, etc.).
• Disabled the firewall (ufw off).
• Literally sat there for 2 minutes without touching the mouse to see if it would load.
• Changed MTU settings and tried different DNS (Google/Cloudflare).

It feels like a network handshake or a Unity certificate issue specifically when Proton tries to sync group data. I’ve managed to get the timer to "crawl" from a 0.1s freeze to a 0.5s freeze, so it’s trying, but it just can't cross the finish line.

Does anyone have a "magic" launch option or a specific Proton config that actually works for Private Rooms? Or is the anti-cheat just fundamentally broken for group play on Linux right now?

Would love to hear if any of you have solved this, especially if you're on a similar Intel iGPU setup.

i guess those are huge NPCs rendered in the lowest LOD. any guess why this is happening? 5700X3D, 3080, 32GB DDR4, running the game through the heroic launcher

EDIT: restarted the game and it seems to have fixed itself but i assume itll come back eventually

I have the Flatpak version of Prism Launcher and Mangohud, and I’d like to know how I can get a more complete layout (fans, VRAM, and others) in Minecraft. Prism Launcher already has a checkbox for Mangohud, but it only shows the basic layout. Has anyone done this?

I tried to install the Flatpak version of Go Overlay, but it seems that it only saves configurations within itself. I didn't quite understand it.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried different versions of Proton GE and Valve's Proton, and it still doesn't work.

I also tried several overrides like this one:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="amd_ags_x64.dll=b"

OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: Linux 6.18.7-arch1-1Mesa 25.3.4-arch1.1

A few weeks ago, I installed Fedora 43 KDE in dual boot with Windows. Before, I used to play TF2 and L4D2 on Windows 11 without any problems, but now when I try to play them, I experience a kind of lag or delay that I hadn't seen before. It's as if it freezes every second. It seems to be because of my ping, but I don't really think that's the problem.

I can only upload one video to reddit so here's more: https://imgur.com/a/zYtdgBS
The videos are compressed, but you get the idea.

When the scene is darker, or against a dark bacground, there's massive ghosting happening.

Other times, the scatter effect is present, like on the hair, or entire screen.

Then there's artefacts like the scene with water.

Now, Hogwarts legacy is just an example here, i've seen this exact issue in other games with raytracing, and it seems to have happened more or less recently with one of the mesa updates, but i'm not sure exactly when it started cause i don't play raytracing games that much.

Observer System Redux seems to be behaving the best with raytracing compared to some others, not sure why. Maybe cause it's just way smaller compared to some bigger games. But everything is so extremely noisy and bad all the time, this can't be normal, can it? I played Cyberpunk with ray tracing on Windows, it didn't look this bad.

Some other games with Lumen also were very noisy before, but i've never had ghosting issues with them, and now i do.

Of course, disabling raytracing fixes all those issues, and Hogwarts Legacy works - until it crashes lol, but whatever, separate issue which i can't be bothered to troubleshoot so i'll just probably uninstall it if it keeps happening. I'll keep it long enough to test the new driver version when it comes out though.

Mesa 26 is due to release soon-ish, so maybe some improvements then?
