What’s your thoughts about new games requiring HVCI and OBS?
Hey everyone, not sure if this is new or old topic but I wanted to know if it’s possible to make games works that require HVCI and OBS features
Like the new beta for BF6

My Arch setup (gaming)
Just wanted to share with you my new setup I have spent 4 days customizing it, I went with Arch linux because I heard that it is the hardest system to install (donot ask me why I donot have a life) I added hyprpanel-hyprland Added some scripts that allows me to pick a color from the screen and apply to my Asus laptop keyboard Changed the Fan curves because it was not as good keeping the laptop cool
The performance in games is really good.. I am getting 144 Hz in Cs go and world of tanks
What I hate is the hyprpanel dashboard I didnot know how to customize more... and I couldnot make my laptop go to suspention after a timeout, didnot add supportto change the keyboard language... (work in progress)

Stellaris heroic odd behavior
So, there are a few posts about an error people have running Stellaris as a native linux app via the heroic launcher flatpak. The error is this:
Could not locate a valid installation of the Paradox Launcher:
open /home/shmegegge/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/data/Paradox Interactive/launcherpath: no such file or directory
Detailed logs can be found at:
/home/shmegegge/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/data/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/logs/launcher-dowser.log
Now, here is the solution I found elsewhere for this problem:
Specifically, it recommends creating a symbolic link to the launcher script in the folder heroic expects it to be in. (I think. I didn't fully understand this post. I am still new to linux.)
I was able to follow the instructions, and the link was created. It still didn't work.
I tried something, I found the script in the install folder for the game. When I double click the script and select "run" from the dialog, the paradox launcher opens! The game runs! Hurrah! But Heroic still doesn't launch it correctly.
Well, I figured I'd just create a link to the start script somewhere convenient, much like a shortcut in Windows, right on the desktop. But that link simply does nothing. What would be a useful way to get this game running without opening the existing folder and running the script manually?
Here are all my logs and assorted info:

Anyway, what do you think? How can I get this game to run without having to go through the trouble of manually opening the folder and clicking the script? Ideally, I'd just like to pin it to my panel or taskbar or even just a desktop shortcut.

after messing around i could fix my perf issues in cs2 and i will leave some tips that might help someone with a older intel processor like me
well i remembered that a guy on cachy os discord told me that older intel cpus had some governor issues so i made the processor run on perf governor 24/7 with this kernel cmdline: cpufreq.default_governor=performance
also disabled cpu mitigations as on older cpus it can degrade perf with this kernel cmdline: mitigations=off
(don't forget to update your grub)
and i also added those parameter to cs2 launch options:SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland LD_PRELOAD="" %command% -novid -nojoy -high -threads 10
them my fps was good again :) (sry for the bad english)
specs: CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5-2696 v3 (36) @ 3.80 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 [Discrete]
Memory: 64gb ddr4 quad-channel

(also you guys need to learn that just bcus something is old it doenst mean that it useless for gaming)

How to up power limit on GPU like Adrenalin on Linux
Hey was thinking of using steam os to build out a tv PC wanted to know how I can control various aspects of GPU on Linux as I understand adrenalin amd doesn't exist on Linux and I'm guessing I can't just use powercontrol or that decky plugin from gawrah I believe the name was from GitHub. To up the powerlimit 10-30% and undervolt whatever the case depending on manufacturer etc the way you can easily do it in Adrenalin on 9070xt or 7900xt etc

Tuxedo InfinityBook Pro 15 Gen10 Laptop with AMD Strix Point and 128GB RAM
Best wine/proton version? (cachyos, ge-proton, proton experimental, etc.)
I run CachyOS on a 4060 laptop and I use lutris. I want to know which versions of proton/wine (cachyos-proton, ge-proton, proton experimental, etc.) are the best in terms of performance especifically for non steam games as I use fitgirl and dodi repacks. Thanks in advance.

GeForce Infinity big update!
Hello everyone!
I have previously posted to this community about the app of GeForce Infinity which I am the original developer of.
I am happy to announce that we have released update 1.1.3!
New features that the update brings:
- 🔁Account system: Users can now register and log in. After logging in, they are able to sync settings to and from the cloud.
- 👤User dropdown menu in the header of the GFI sidebar for account management
- ⏰Inactivity notification: Alerts you when you're about to be kicked due to inactivity.
- 🔇Automute: Mutes the game when the window is not in focus.
- 🛑**"Anti-kick" feature.** ⚠️Disclaimer: This is not a real anti-kick. It does not prevent kicks and may violate NVIDIA's TOS. It simply alt-tabs you back into the game if you're unfocused. (both autofocus and inactivity notifications must be enabled)
- ↩️Button to reset all settings to their default values.
- 💻Support for smaller screens: added scrollable areas.
- ℹ️Info tooltips added in the settings section
In other news, 2 versions of the app are now available in the AUR! One uses pre-built binaries and the other builds from source! ⚠️Both of these are 3rd party maintained AURs so huge thanks for these 2 people!
I'm also happy to announce now that we have reached 2600+ downloads (official total from flathub + from website is 2606 as of writing this post)! Thank you for all the support, feedback, questions. We are working to make it the best possible, but keep in mind that this is an open source project, maintained voluntarily!
We have a lot more exciting features and improvements planned such as: higher resolution support, surround sound, Higher FPS support, HDR support, Ability to open sidebar during gameplay, Xcloud integration and a lot more!
Obviously we are not sure if we can truly implement all requests and improvements but we will try our very best, so stay tuned! (And once Xcloud integration is done we will rename the app and change the icon to better fit and to avoid any potential copyright issues)

Trying to install Bnet Launcher through steam/proton
Hello,
I will preface this by saying I'm pretty new to linux. I am running Fedora 42 KDE Plasma. I installed steam from the discover store using the "from Fedora" source, as opposed to the flatpak.
Anyways, when running the bnet launcher I'm trying to change the install location to have it in a folder thats easily accessible in my home directory, but when I hit select folder, nothing happens? Is it possible to change the directory? If so, how do I fix this? I'd rather have the battle.net launcher installed somewhere convenient, rather than buried in the steam folder. Also, this will allow me to delete the installer shortcut in steam after the launcher is installed.
Thanks

Sound cuts out hard with buzzing/farts in Diablo 4 - Fizes?
Recently, D4 has been having some serious sound issues. Usually, when there are a lot of mobs getting wiped at once. I'm running the game though Steam using GE Proton Latest from ProtonPlus. It did this on an older version, too. D4 is the only game I play and the sound doesn't cutout anywhere else.
Any ideas as to what I could do to fix this? I'm on Garuda Dragonized w/ KDE on all AMD hardware. I mainly use the built-in speakers on monitor, but have noticed this same thing on my wireless headphones.
TIA!

No Sleep For Kaname Date: Review (Linux and Steam Deck)
Steam download speed
Hello guys, I'm on nobara and i have an issue. My steam download speed is "capped" to 120megabits/s while my connection during speedtest goes up to 900megabits/s. This happened when I first installed nobara 20 days ago but after an unknown fix ( I tried to set up something but I dunno if it actually fixed something, I doubt) the download speed went up to 800megabits/s. Two days ago I changed my router and the problem came back. I really don't know what to do, I already modified the steam_dev.cfg, I tried changing dns, I tried flatpak instead of official repos but no luck.
Do you have any fix?

Mouse escaping fullscreen with dual monitor setup
If I quickly move the cursor towards the other monitor and click, the mouse escapes to the other monitor. After some googling it seems like this is a long standing Wayland issue. Though it doesn't seem to affect all games for some reason. Maybe because of custom proton settings for more popular games?
Do anyone know more of the cause or a another solution? I find it strange that such a massive issue is not talked about more.
Currently have the issue on Dune Awakening. I don't believe I had it on Overwatch. I'm using cachyOS with Gnome.
