Fsr3.1 frame gen doesn't act right.(link is external)
Iv mostly got everything working properly now in my games. HDR works as intended, variable refresh is activating. But something I noticed that seems broken is fsr3.1 frame gen. My OSD bounces from the base frame rate to the max. Turning it off yields working vrr. This is running on a 7900xt and 7800x3d on Cachy os. So latest kernel. Is there another command I need to run within gamescope for this to work? Is this still a feature that is somewhat broken? Specific game is Stalker 2. HDR works. Vrr works. No frame gen but I can feel the lag from it and an fps counter shows it.

Has any Wuthering Waves launcher started to work?(link is external)
All the ones I could find don't work anymore, and I can't really find online if any of them are still trying to find a way to go, or if one already exists

How to streamline creating a new Wine prefix without location symlinks?(link is external)
Trying to write a script for creating a new Wine prefix that doesn't have mime associations and common locations symlinks are disabled out of the box.
So I far I figured out how to do the first part (assume WINEPREFIX is set to what you need at this point):
export WINEDLLOVERRIDES='winemenubuilder.exe=d' wine winecfg /v win11 wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\FileOpenAssociations' /v "Enable" /d "N" /f > /dev/null 2>&1
That works neatly without putting all that junk in $HOME/.local/share/mime, but I still need to go into winecfg and deselect all symlinks for locations. Is there some way to automate this using Wine itself or I need to manually find those locations and turn them into normal directories?

Scaling issue with Micropolis(link is external)
Ive been trying to play Micropolis (SimCity) on my laptop running Pop_Os. The problem I am running into though is the window is scaled so small that the game is unplayable unless connected to my larger monitor. I have my 1920x1080 display scale set to 125% and all other applications are scaled well and everything is visible, but everything in Micropolis is tiny and almost unreadable. I have tried addind tk scale 2.0 to the .tcl file but I get errors running the application. Any help would be appreciated.

Can't use any Linux distro correctly with RTX 5070(link is external)
I recently built my own PC with an RTX 5070 and my old GTX 1060 for VM PCI passthrough. I've tried installing several versions of Fedora and Ubuntu, but either the RTX doesn't display anything on the screen, or the interface is really buggy because the driver doesn't seem to apply on the card, but on the other one no worries. Of course, I tried removing my second card or vice versa, but the same thing happened. According to my research, it seems that nobody has the same problem. No driver appears in Ubuntu's additional drivers application, but I still managed to download the new driver using the console, but not on Fedora. I don't know why this happens and why only my old graphics card works perfectly. Am I missing something?

Help - messed up Bazzite install(link is external)
Hi everyone,
I need help. I am new to tinkering and I installed bazzite to my ROG ally. I didn’t understand the shrink and partition portion of the install and only allocated I guess 40 gb to Bazzite. Everything installed but now I realize what I did wrong in this step, as I only have 20 gb of space to use for games after the Bazzite install. Am I cooked ? Do I need to go back somehow or reinstall windows and do this all over again ? Can I change the partition somehow from the bios ?
Thank you

Cannot discover game servers over LAN(link is external)
Whenever I start a LAN game server on a Windows device on my network, my Linux device does not discover it. When I start the server on Linux, other devices *can* actually discover the server, however they are unable connect.
This same behavior was observed with LAN functionality both in Minecraft and in Among Us, and was tested on Ubuntu and on NixOS. The issue occurs even with the firewall disabled.
Any ideas for how I might troubleshoot this? Thanks

CS2 audio stuttering / micro stuttering fix for KDE/Ubuntu 24.10(link is external)
Hi community,
my firs post here - I try to share some knowledge
Make sure Desktop starts as
X11 and NOT Wayland
Here my Start parameters:
WAYLAND_DISPLAY= %command% PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=x11 %command% -nojoy -sdlaudiodriver pulseaudio -high +r_drawparticles 0 -threads 8 +mat_disable_fancy_blending 1 -softparticlesdefaultoff -nopreload -limitvsconst +mat_queue_mode 2 -tickrate 128 +cl_cmdrate 128 +cl_updaterate 128 +cl_forcepreload 1 -nojoy
Before starting Steam (SNAP Version)
open console
3 commands as user where :~$ is command prompt
:~$ pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-rate 41000
:~$ pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-quantum 2048
:~$ pw-metadata -n settings
first command is sample size which is standard on 48000
second is buffersize standard is 512
third is to write these changes
you can check with cat /proc/asound/card1/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params before and after settings. maybe command differs depending on where your soundcard is located
START STEAM and then
START CS
it removed micro audio stutters for me completely
Cheers
