Rise of the Tomb Raider - Is this a bug?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 Jun 2025 - 12:20am

A couple of times in the game I have had this effect where the graphics seems to have a very short depth of field.

Is this a bug or have I been afflicted with something which temporarily affects Lara's vision?

Vulkan Shader Processing Crash Devil May Cry 5

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 Jun 2025 - 12:16am

https://preview.redd.it/ux6kjey2xk5f1.png?width=851&format=png&auto=webp&s=b8c61c4a26d63dd115357cb5ce90c3078359f979

My specs
mesa version 25.0.7

Steam invariably crashes when trying to process vulkan shaders for Devil May Cry 5. This does not happen for other games.
It crashes because the fossilize_replay processes use up all memory.

Is there a fix for this? I've been looking online and I got nothing.

Is it worth going from a 3070 ti to a 9060 xt for gaming?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 Jun 2025 - 12:16am

Basically the title.

I've recently decided to switch from Windows to Linux, and I want to know how the drivers and performance differs between Nvidia and AMD nowadays. Specifically, would it be worth buying a 9060 xt just for it? The difference wouldn't be worth it from the perspective of Windows unless I needed 16GB, but I know that Linux has always had issues with Nvidia which might change things.

Furthermore, how would the answer change based on distros? I'm not married to any particualar one atm so I'm open to anything.

New borderlands 2 """"spyware""" talk

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 Jun 2025 - 12:07am

https://www.gamesradar.com/games/borderlands/gearbox-finally-responds-to-series-wide-borderlands-review-bomb-after-19-days-says-its-owner-does-not-use-spyware-and-its-actually-ok-with-most-mods/

I am pretty sure most of you know about the recent talk of the new EULA for bl2 and people who seem to think the game now has spywares....

My question is, most of this people use windows, which already has a lot of this crap and steals every cent of information they can out of everybody. They are not 100% sure about borderlands spying on anybody but dropped the game's reviews to mostly negative on steam, but they use windows and all kind of software full of this crap and ignore it???

I understand most of this people aren't tech savy, thus they shouldn't do this whit some product because 'friend told me it spy'.

Questions about PCVR

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 Jun 2025 - 11:46pm

Hey all, sorry if this has been asked before, been lurking for a bit before posting.

I have a Meta Quest 3 and I currently play on one of the most bloated horrible Windows installs.

I want to move to Linux I’m thinking Bazzite currently. I prefer to play my PCVR games plugged in with my quest 3 as I don’t have the best internet for wireless streaming. I know ALVR works for wireless but is there any option to do wired VR with a quest 3 on Linux?

Thanks in advance.

I've already given up. I'm going to drop the W10! But what distribution would be good?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 Jun 2025 - 11:24pm

Well, I'm getting tired of the W10 bugs and besides, my current PC is not compatible with W11. My only experience was with Linux Mint (on an old notebook, literally saving me) but I was thinking about testing other distributions. I play a lot for cloud games (Geforce Now) But games that I'm interested in playing are Genshin impact (I know it's compatible) Wuthering waves (I have no idea about compatibility) GTA 5 (ran on W10) I think these are the main ones outside of Steam that I play. I accept all types of tips 💜 thanks for your attention. My PC:

Problem on Mint not detecting RX 9060 XT on any games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 Jun 2025 - 11:09pm

I just installed the Gigabyte RX 9060 XT 16Gb version into my pc, installed the 25.10.1 drivers, updated my system, and rebooted, wired video out from the card, but no games seem to be detecting the GPU. Everything worked on my RX 7600 so I'm not sure what else to do to get the games to detect the card, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Unsure about which Distro to install?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 Jun 2025 - 10:30pm

Hey guys,

I checked the faq and some older posts here and am still unsure about which distro to choose from. To start with I am a complete linux beginner and haven't really looked to deep into how linux works yet. But I am starting to really hate windows, expecially because of all the privacy issues and it feels kind of unstable in recent times on my pc, I usually do need to do a fresh reinstall every couple of years to fix all the issues. I also read that one might gain a bit performance, when on linux compared to windows, which would be dearly needed, since I am currently running on a bit outdated hardware.

I am running a radeon 5700xt and ryzen 3700x.

I do want to upgrade my setup in the near future once i find a good deal and go for the 9070xt with the 5700x3d.

I would like to keep the OS when doing the swap to the newer Hardware, since from what I read I would need to reinstall all my applications and I don't have the best internet connection, but a large hard drive with a large gaming selection.

From what I read for now stable releases on newer hardwares are not the best choice so something like linux mint is not recommended. I have seen a few posts here which argue rolling releases should always be preferred, but there seems to be not a unanimous opinion on that.

I also prefer to use GOG as my primary gaming store as I want to actually have a DRM free copy of my games, but also use Steam of course for all the games that dont get published on GOG. I am playing a healthy mix of freshly released games, for example Monster hunter Wilds currently and much older games, like Amnesia. I don't really enjoy the hardcore competitive games tha thave anti-cheat and checking with protonDB. All Titles I want to play are rated silver or higher. GOG should work fine from my reasearch and I only need to do slight tinkering with proton versions, compared to steam. I am also using my system not only for a few hours of gaming every once in a while but also work and other hobbies, so mainly coding, web surfing, the occasional video editing and content creation.

I found that the usual candidates that are recommended are stuff like linux mint, fedora, nobara and arch. I am fine getting into the nitty gritty of stuff and try to dial stuff in, which would be necessary with distros like arch, but I am worried to f*ck it up or not get it dialed just right to make it more comparable to or performant than other distros like nobara which do the work for you. I am also unsure on using Nobara, because it seems to be supported for now, its future seems uncertain from what I have read here and again I really dont want to swap the OS and be forced to download terrabytes of games, that I might want to game if i get the occasional scratch for it.

All help would be dearly appreciated

Edit: I would also like to use FSR 4 when getting the new setup, I am currently VRR, FSR 3 and frame gen, even though it looks like poop, because otherwise I dont really get decent amount of frames in the more modern titles. Reading the faq more advanced features also seems to favor rolling distros.

containerizing minecraft client

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 Jun 2025 - 10:23pm

Hey guys, I've been looking to try out some other OSes on different devices and manually moving over my worlds and mods and such has gotten really annoying. Is there a way to do all this automatically like containerizing the client? I use the prism launcher btw. Thanks.

Advice needed for a Linux gaming laptop

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 Jun 2025 - 10:21pm

Hey everyone! So I built a desktop gaming rig 10 years ago, obviously at the time with Windows. This machine has worked great for 10 years and still holds up to this day. I dabbled in Linux since 4 years ago and made the permanent switch to Arch one year ago and threw Windows out after they tried to shove their AI down my throat. And I am never going back lol.

But my needs have changed after 10 years: I am no longer a hardcore gamer but I still do play casually, mostly single player titles like CP2077 or similar. But one thing I really want now is some form of mobility, which when I built my desktop was not an issue at all. I am talking "some" because most of the time it'll remain seated on my desktop BUT I might take it with me when I stay over at my girlfriend for example.

So this has thrown me in the search of a gaming laptop that I will put Arch on. I already did some research and I came accross Tuxedo laptops. They are based in Germany and I am also in the EU so shipping should be a breeze and relatively cheap with no customs costs. I looked at two of their models that have my interest:

  • TUXEDO Stellaris Slim 15 - Gen6 - AMD
  • TUXEDO Gemini 17 - Gen3 - AMD

The interesting thing here is that the Gemini 17 has a better CPU (Ryzen 9) than the Stellaris, who "only" comes with a Ryzen 7, BUT they are the same price, maybe 10 euros difference. What is the catch here, mobility? because the gemini 17 looks mobile enough for my usecase. Also looks like it will stay cooler. BTW, i included 32GB RAM, an RTX 4070 (yeah i know AMD works better with Linux, but my current nvidia card works rather flawlessly on my arch install, so I think I'll manage?), and a 2TB 990 PRO SSD. These specs (except the graphics card maybe) are minimum for me.

So currently I am thinking about the Gemini 17, what is your experience with Tuxedo? Should I look somewhere else?

Budget is around 2.5k€, as I'll sell my old desktop for parts and expect to get about 800 from it, and I got a 300€ bonus at work. Use case is casual single-player gaming and the occasional compiling of enormous software from the AUR :p. Don't care much about mobility, as long as it fits in a backpack. Don't care about noise at all while gaming. Battery duration is "meh" in importance to me. The goal is to play CP2077 and the like at 1440p 144HZ with high-ultra settings.

Thanks a bunch for the advice!

Arch hyprland pixelation

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 Jun 2025 - 9:30pm

Recently decided to man up and do it, switched to arch with hyprland using archinstall 2 days ago, a bit of a rocky experience but it’s solid nonetheless. But there’s this issue that’s completely messing with me, I installed steam using pacman and using yay later, both ways gave me the same result, steam was blurry, and pixelated to a point where it’s not usable, tried installing helltaker and playing it for the first time to take my mind off of it, but the highest resolution the launch options gave me was 720p. Tried downloading freetube to take my mind off that too, so I got the portable zip and extracted it using peazip, but when I launched it was pixelated even worse than steam. Did anyone encounter similar issues or is it just me? And please tell me how do I fix it it’s getting frustrating (not giving up tho)

Thrustmaster T-LCM Pedals on Garuda Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 Jun 2025 - 9:09pm

I cannot get games to recognize these pedals as a device, I have used Input-remapper but it fails to properly map all three pedals as analog inputs.

Any help would be much appreciated as I am not a Linux Wizard so digging beyond input-remapper is eldritch magic to me.

Is there any reason NOT to have Nvidia smooth motion always enabled?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 Jun 2025 - 7:59pm

One can easily make Nvidia smooth motion always enabled by putting NVPRESENT_ENABLE_SMOOTH_MOTION=1 into /etc/environment. Is there any reason why that might not be desirable?

I imagine that it should be smart enough to not do anything when there's nothing for it to do, e.g. when a game is already running at close to max FPS (i.e. close to the display refresh rate). Is that the case, or can it sometimes lead to worse perfs by wasting GPU ops in useless ways?

What's the amount of power consumption overhead compared to the setting being disabled, in situations when it's not adding any frames? Is it negligible (i.e. the GPU simply realizes it shouldn't be doing anything), or does it actually render frames and then throws them away?

These questions may be a bit too technical, but I'm curious if anyone has done any FPS and power consumption comparosons between the setting on and off.
