Problem Summary

Full Screen won't work for Fallout 3

Problem Description

Fallout 3 would either only show the launcher, or would get past the launcher and the window would disappear. I could see the window's button in the panel, and I could hear the music, so I knew it was running, but when I switched to the window I couldn't see the graphics at all.

Fallout 3 GOTY GOG version, modded I had a Fallout 3 folder from Windows, Already modded

I had modded it with Nexus mods (Vortex app)

fose_launcher is required for certain scripts

1. Install dependencies via winetricks:
   1. vcrun2015 or vcrun2022 (Visual C++ Redistributable)
   2. d3dcompiler_47
   3. dxvk
2. change launcher (ex: Heroic) to run fose_launcher.exe as main executable
   1. Settings > Advanced > Select an alternative EXE to run
      • /endosynth/games/heroic/games-heroic/Fallout 3/fose_loader.exe
        • /endosynth/ is an ext4 partition I've mounted under that folder

Wine/Proton Versions Tried

1. GE-Proton-latest
   • runs OK and I see loading screen (modded), and after that it opens a window -- however this new window will not display properly; its graphics are never visible. I can hear music, and see the program is running in Linux, but cannot see the window.
     • To make the graphics visible, do the following steps

Configure Wine to Emulate Virtual Desktops

This was required for me to be able to see the Fallout 3 window when in Full Screen mode. (Fixes Full Screen mode.)

1. Heroic > Fallout 3 > Settings icon
2. Wine tab > scroll to bottom > WineCFG button
3. Graphics tab
   1. enabled: Automatically capture the mouse in full-screen windows
   2. disabled: Allow the window manager to decorate the windows
   3. disabled: Allow the window manager to control the windows
   4. enabled: Emulate a virtual desktop
      1. Desktop size: 1920 x 1080
      2. Screen Resolution (default): 96 dpi

WineCFG stored changes in this file:

/endosynth/games/heroic/wine-prefixes/Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition/user.reg

Configure Game Resolution

``` /endosynth/games/heroic/wine-prefixes/Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/Fallout3/

FalloutPrefs.ini

... [Display] ... iSize W=1920 iSize H=1080 ... ```

I hope this is the right subreddit to ask this.

First thing, I will mention that I am new to linux and don't know that much yet so any help or explaining is welcome.

After switching to linux mint, geometry dash seems to be stuck on 60fps despite the fps count showing 144fps. I assume it had something to do with the second monitor's refresh rate, but disconnecting it only made it worse. The game audio became really disturbed and slowed down, unsynced with the game, and not even fixing the issue.

Not sure if this was the right move, but switching to wayland experimental only made the fps lower, though this time the fps counter seemed to work properly.

I already tried all the in-game options and different versions of proton, but nothing works. If that changes anything, I usually play with geode which is now broken after the latest update.

Other things I tried: -Checking if the main monitor was set as primary -Reinstalling the game -Changing monitors resolution(?)

Some advice would be appreciated

Removed a lot of unused code for now, mainly related to the nexus collection support. (Still trying to get it to work and cooperate ☹️)

Worked on some more fixes with the non-premium support. As I was able to download dev tools from start to finish.

Cyberpunk lists should now be installable as well.

I missed posting about my last release here, but basically TTW Lists will have a popup and make you select the TTW mpi file. That way TTW can be auto installed for you, and hopefully automatically configured for you as well in the modlist.

The gallery browser can now filter out of unavailable lists.

And now if you modlist install crashes, or you close the application. If you select the same list you have used in the past the paths will be used automatically again. You now can change the name you want the modlist to be on steam as well. Possible icon integration and other things among that if I get around to it.

9800x3d+9070xt+32gb 6000 ram

Last time played about 4 month ago without problems.

Now game takes ages to load, and 100% cpu usage.

In single player sometime cpu usage increase from 30-40 to 100% gpu usage drops to 30% for 1-2 seconds. Coop with other players 10-20 fps.

I'm trying to install three DLLs through winetricks (d3dcompiler_43, d3dcompiler_47, and d3d11_43). I got this error every time I've tried installing it. I'm fairly new to linux so it could just be me not understanding something.

The steps I took just in case it's needed:
Default wine prefix
Install dll
Selected the dlls mentioned earlier
Got the SHA256 mismatch error (2nd picture)
Got the Note command cabextract error (1st picture)

I've tried reinstalling wine, winetricks, and protontricks but none of that fixed the issue. I'm using EndeavourOS. Is it a wow64 problem?

hi everyone, i have this weird issue where when im playing games and im moving around and stuff, the screen has a flickering problem. the flicker also "moves" from the top of the screen to the bottom, and then starts back at the top. it looks a bit like on those old timey tvs and monitors, just not quite as extreme. this is specifically on 60hz. when i go to my settings and change the refresh rate to 74.97hz, the flickering gets much much worse. but! i can also change it to 59.94hz, and then it goes away. of course i WOULD like to enjoy the higher refresh rate, if it wouldn't cause such an issue.

so my question is, what could cause this weird behavior?
(i do have an nvidia gpu, regrettably. if that is the cause or maybe theres some settings to fix)

Right now I'm kinda scared the 20 series is next on the NVIDIA chopping block for drivers, especially considering the fact that I'm sporting a GTX 2070. I heard that support for the 10 series has been spotty ever since NVIDIA dropped support for their drivers, so I'm kinda just in fear of what's gonna come in say, a year or so.

I figure most of us on this sub are well aware of the current AMDGPU HDMI limitations. I’ve been trying to research HDMI drivers a let more recently, and I found something interesting that I don’t fully understand. Within the open-source intel i915 driver, HDMI 2.1 was possible on select ARC GPUs that had DP to HDMI protocol converters built in to the GPU (like those external DP to HDMI dongles, just built into the GPU). What I’m confused about, is that a few years back, the i915 developers allegedly added NATIVE FRL support into the fully open-source driver (linked below). FRL is the HDMI 2.1 technology that allows for the much higher 48Gbps bandwidth compared to 2.0. My question is: given that AMD GPUs have the hardware necessary for HDMI 2.1 and are only being capped by the lack of driver support, would it be possible to somehow implement FRL into the AMDGPU driver to unlock the 48Gbps bandwidth?

Disclaimer: this is PURELY speculative, I know very little about driver and display signaling technology

I'm trying to run Hades through the Archipelago randomizer, and to get it to work it must launch through a Python script that calls protontricks-launch to launch the game. The problem is when it launches, my Steam Controller won't work with the game.

The line that launches the game is 'protontricks-launch', '--appid=1145360', *self.args, env={**os.environ, 'WINEDEBUG': '-all'}

I've tried replacing launching protontricks-launch with steam steam://rungameid/1145360 and that will launch the game with controller support, but the game will no longer sync with Archipelago.

Is there any way to get my Steam Controller working through protontricks like this?

Heyo,

With the shutdown of the nexus mods app, I decided to create my own linux-native mod manager.

It's called NOMM (Native Open Mod Manager) and is still in early development but already has some basic features.

What I really need right now are people to help me test the app and provide some feedback!

The only game I've configured right now is Warhammer 40k Darktide, but configuring other games is relatively easy (as long as there is a "standard" path to install mods to).

There is a quick youtube presentation attached, and the github is available here (there's some kind of roadmap there).

Please feel free to open up issues on the github or dm me with whatever feedback you may have (and/or provide pull requests with filled configurations for different games!).

Hey, I’m planning to try Linux and would like some advice before setting it up.

My specs: Ryzen 5 5700X Radeon RX 9070 XT 32 GB RAM 2 TB SSD with Windows 1 TB SSD where I want to install Linux

What I’m trying to do: I want a dual-boot setup with Windows and Linux on separate drives. Gaming is the main focus on Linux, but I’ll also use it for normal stuff.

Questions:

Which distro would you recommend for gaming on this hardware?

Is dual-booting on a separate SSD usually painless, or are there things I should be careful about?

Can Linux access and run games that are already installed on the Windows SSD (Steam/Proton), or do games usually need to be installed again?

Any issues with everyday apps like Chrome or Discord?

I’m not a total beginner, but I’d prefer something that doesn’t require constant fixing or risk breaking my Windows install.

Thanks for any input.

Wireworks might be the most unique tower defense game I've ever played, with you building up weapons from modules you wire up to different logic blocks.

Been playing Fallout Tale of Two Wastelands with a bunch of mods (including the Wasteland Survival Guide preset with several other mods on top). However, recently when I've been playing, I've been hearing really strange and unpleasant noises like the ones in this video clip.

I've asked in ModdingLinked and The Wasteland Supplemental Discord servers but haven't been able to get any help. Does anyone have any idea how to make this not happen short of muting the game entirely?

I'm on Ubuntu 25.10, using a computer with an AMD Ryzen™ 5 7640U w/ Radeon™ 760M Graphics × 12 and running the game through gamescope. My command line in Steam is:

gamemoderun gamescope --force-grab-cursor -r 60 --backend sdl --nested-unfocused-refresh=60 -- %command%

If I should provide more info please let me know. Everything else has been alright so far besides this problem...
