Now I do have one theory(it's probably fact) as to why this is happening but I want to see if this is a general issue.

I'm using Ryujinx from CachyOS' repo(aka Ryujinx from the AUR precompiled) and Tears of the Kingdom in specific runs really badly on a Ryzen 7 2700x and an RTX 3060. I'm not sure if this is an nvidia problem or not as almost every other game runs perfectly fine without issue yet TotK in specific runs at 10 frames per second on average while barely utilizing my GPU and only using about 25% of my CPU which, to be fair, tracks because emulators only use how much CPU they need but, even then I was getting 45 FPS when I was still using my RX 590. I installed the Ultracam mod which did boost the main menu(aka a GPU bound space) to a locked 60 fps but it did not improve performance otherwise.

Is this a really bad case nvidia driver overhead? I know it's not great and I know I am already slightly cpu bound, but it shouldn't be this bad when every other game is fine sans the Oblivion Remaster. I also tried giving zram less space to work with to no avail(as it can in theory be an issue when something wants a lot of ram and zram tries compressing everything it can).

The only thing that really confuses me is that I've seen TotK running on worse CPUs on nvidia GPUs e.g i7 3770 and a GTX 1050, but that's on Windows.

Also, for reference, I dumped my own XCI(maybe that could be the problem? as in, any additional overhead caused by running an XCI over an NSP), and OpenGL straight up crashes while Vulkan gets into the open world. I'd also like to point out that I can emulate MGS4 at a solid 30 which is a very, very odd comparison to make but if my PC can do that, then TotK should be no issue.

Edit: I've found that this Citron appimage works just fine. Here is the VirusTotal detection if you (rightfully) don't trust it. Sudachi most likely works fine too, but doesn't have a linux port(it is on the AUR alongside Citron). I will be looking for a different fork myself though, because Citron's dev is a bit of a spoiled brat.

Hey folks, I recently made a partial switch to Linux (CachyOS) and I like it so far.

Most games run just as well if not better than on Windows. I just have one small issue: My 6900XT Red Devil Ultimate is running hot.

I am constantly at the hotspot threshold of 110°C despite new thermal paste.

Under Windows, I was able to undervolt and underclock this beauty via MorePowerTool and the Adrenaline drivers. Though I must admit, I mostly copy-pasted values in MPT and fumbled around in Adrenaline until I got stable performance. (I can link the article I used if needed.)

Was able to achieve 80°C hotspot temps with fans at 45% max and roughly 2400Mhz frequency.

I have tried finding similar tools/tutorials for Linux but as of yet, I am at a loss. Maybe I overlooked something but is there an option for me to easily "replicate" what I did under Windows? GUI would be sweet but if it's properly documented, I could work with adjusting some values in a terminal.

Thanks a ton in advance!

Hello.

Can some owners of 9070 XTs tell me how does using these cards feel after half a year after relase? Are there any stablility issues or any kind of finicky things that I should know before buying?

Me and a friend were working on getting a old version of halo infinite running on Linux, we got it working, i can only get it working on 8 downloaded from steam, I'm not 100% sure how they downloaded their version of proton, but it works for them on a newer version, but if i switch off 8, then it wont even load for me, any guesses why this would happen, and how to fix it?

I'm wondering, specifically for alan wake 2, possibly Like a dragon gaiden also, how to go about enabling fsr 4 for these titles?

I've seen now you can just had a launch command for fsr 3.1 games, to enable fsr 4. Not sure about fsr 2, or 3, enabled games though...

edit - Would probably help if I added in my gpu, using a 9070 xt.

Hi folks. To be honest, not sure which subreddit should I post this on, but as it's related to Steam (I suppose?) I chose this one.

The whole point is: My PC gets lagged if I have Steam on the Friends Activity page. YouTube videos slow down to 2-3 fps, window arrangement is slow, keyboard input has a lot of lag... like, everything has lag and low fps. Then, I change the tab to Library or Store and lag is gone. I would like to troubleshoot this because even if I could change the tab after seeing what I want, it's so weird that I wish to find the root cause.

Specs! (I know NVIDIA with Linux has bad rep but gpus are expensive)

Intel i7-9700K, NVIDIA 3070, 32GB RAM, and 1x 4K monitor + 1x 2K monitor in case it matters.

OS: Manjaro 25.0.8 Zetar with up to date packages and GPU drivers.

I ran watch grep some /proc/pressure/* when I was writing this post (Steam is on Library tab) and it shows this:

Cada 2,0s: grep some /proc/pressure/cpu /proc/pressure/io /proc/pressure/irq /proc/pressure/memory VALHALLA: 19:35:15 in 0,002s (0) /proc/pressure/cpu:some avg10=0.00 avg60=0.00 avg300=0.03 total=36042925 /proc/pressure/io:some avg10=0.00 avg60=0.02 avg300=0.00 total=16638373 /proc/pressure/memory:some avg10=0.00 avg60=0.00 avg300=0.00 total=36362

I closed the process, switched Steam to Friends Activity and launched it again, computer got lagged just a few seconds afterwards (it was difficult to write the rest of the post tbh). The watch process of that time:

Cada 2,0s: grep some /proc/pressure/cpu /proc/pressure/io /proc/pressure/irq /proc/pressure/memory VALHALLA: 19:36:51 in 0,002s (0) /proc/pressure/cpu:some avg10=0.00 avg60=0.02 avg300=0.02 total=36379978 /proc/pressure/io:some avg10=0.00 avg60=0.00 avg300=0.00 total=16782002 /proc/pressure/memory:some avg10=0.00 avg60=0.00 avg300=0.00 total=36362

I know these numbers show no bottleneck/CPU overwork but throwing that possibility away helps? question mark?

Thanks for the help beforehand.

So I just switched to Bazzite at the beginning of this week. I have a fairly old rig with a 1070 gpu. Thus far using win10 Ive been able to play pretty much anything with at least medium to high settings and get decent fps.

Thus far I've loved how "linux for dummies" the OS is. The problem I have is gaming performance. For example Control or Witcher3: in windows I had a very steady framerate (I usually locked it to 60fps) and high to medium settings otherwise. However now I'm lucky if I ever get around to 40fps and all the details are blurry and there's a lot of tear. It almost looks like the settings were much lower.

I was hoping to completely switch to linux when win10 EOL comes around and perhaps get a new rig. However, this situation doesn't encourage me to buy ~1500€ rig and then get this kind of performance. I know my current setup is old but in windows there are 0 issues especiallywith the games I play.

I've also tested PopOS a couple of months back and the same issues were present there. Has anyone else encountered these issues? Has anyone found a solution?

Yes, I didn't download old versions in the project's git. But all of them no longer present the options menu to directly extract pkgs. I downloaded shadPS4 Plus and it showed the same behavior. I use it on Bazzite and I'm not able to process the tutorials that people post on the Internet. Has anyone had success with this?

Hello everyone! I'm a relatively new Linux user who was planning to buy Sonic Racing Crossworlds, but I decided to wait for the demo to check how well my computer could run it. The demo is finally out today and I'm having a lot of performance issues. The game runs consistently slow and it's making it borderline unplayable, even when I set all the graphics settings to the lowest possible options. My specs should definitely be enough to run the game, and I'm using Mint. No other game I've played so far seems to have problems like that. Is it a proton issue? Is there any way to fix this?

Hi everyone. This is J0hri, I hope you are having a good day. I've used ubuntu in past for casual purpose but this time I wanted to game, So I researched and found out that Pop_OS is good distro for gaming and installed it. Now there's a problem: I play Valorant frequently and that requires Secure Boot Onn(on windows). And it's well known that Pop_OS requires Secure Boot Off. So, 1. Is there a work arround so I can keep both pop_OS and Valorant(on windows) working? 2. If not with pop OS then which distro would be suitable?

Hello all!

In the past 2 years, we've been working on an educational game, called Cuprum 2929! The (other) niche part is that we've been developing it primarily on Linux

We are participating in the upcoming steam fest as our Early Access release is approaching! Our playtest is open!

We are a small team and we'd appreciate your support!

Our trailer

Looking a lot like a classic Resident Evil game but switching things up to be turn-based, with duneon exploration - House of Necrosis looks genuinely very cool.

Hi everyone,

got a question about specific game , elden ring nightreign , on my pc i5-14400F , 32 gig 5600 ram and rtx 4060 , this game is constantly crashing ( system is perfectly stable and cool and nightreign does not even fully use resources ) , I've tried everything short of installing windows ( not an option , I'd rather give up one game albeit a fun one, than linux ) , tried all possible launch options , proton versions from 7 to hotfix to GE , Nvidia drivers from 550 to 580 open and closed , X11 and wayland and so on. Like literally everything. Now , if it's the game , I'll just accept it and put it away, but thing is on protondb reviews are fine, no one complains about crashes.

So here's my question has anyone tried ER nightreign with Nvidia ? did it crash ?

thanks for any info in advance and sorry for the rant

Hi all.
I'm developing an open-world game, and the first playtest is about to begin (we're waiting for Steam's approval). Although the playtest will only be available as a sandbox without specific gameplay, a tremendous amount of effort was put into this build because the game doesn't use any major commercial engines.

Personally, I'm very interested in seeing how products evolve from a mess into something compelling. Perhaps you would find this interesting as well? The thing is, the old builds were made exclusively for Linux for internal use. They weren't daily builds but rather specific releases with huge changelogs. There are only four of them, so it wouldn't be a problem to go through each one.

So, if you're interested, I'd be happy to publish them and hear your thoughts. Even if you think the game is terrible—which is a possibility, since it's a game without a good budget, any budget at all—that's fine. It should help me fix critical issues so that your opinion can be changed.

So, I'm looking forward to your responses.

Flick Shot Rogues is a turn-based tactical roguelike about flicking your characters across the map, to bump into enemies. It's clever and a new favourite.

after installing steam from the fedora repo and installing native cs2, my game would always segfault right after the valve splash-screen. reinstalling the game, verifying files, setting sdl to use wayland, disabling the steam overlay ,nothing would fix it.

i then decided to install the steam flatpak from the flathub repo and it completely fixes all my problems. game runs ~ 160fps, steam overlay works perfectly fine, stretched res works and 0 crashes at all. no proton at all, still native

my specs for reference:

OS: Fedora Linux 42
DE: KDE Plasma 6.4.4
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5-1650 v4 (12) @ 4.00 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 12GB
