GEProton9-20 crashing my entire PC

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 May 2025 - 11:49am

Now, I've been playing Genshin Impact for a long time in my laptop which runs Nobara. It works exceptionally well, no problems at all, other than a bit of trouble with 100% usage rarely. But when i installed the same game in my PC which runs CachyOS and the same version of proton ge, it opens, says "loading data", goes all the way to 100%, but when it reaches that, it stops, my audio becomes crackled, and the entire PC crashes. I have hyprland, so when it crashes, I can't open anything other than kitty because of the keybind. Waybar is gone, app menu is gone, pretty much unusable except for the terminal.

Thinking about switching to Linux, have some Hardware questions.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 May 2025 - 10:50am

Hey all!

I used Linux roughly a year and a half ago but had to switch back for a time because university demanded me to use adobe software...

No university is over and I am missing Linux. In the meantime I switched all my Logitec hardware to Steelseries.

Steelseries seems on first sight much less compatible with Linux though. I use an Aerox 9, Arctis Nova 7, and Apex 5. I think there was a software that I was able to use back then to program my old MMORPG Mouse. The question is is there also a software to get the Headset working, since it has a lot of software based settings. The keyboard, well if there are no lights I don't mind, and if the lights stay the same I also don't mind. I don't by the stuff for the lights, just for function...

Thank you all very much in advance!

Steam overlay impossible to close (it's closed I can move my mouse in game, but I see this...)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 May 2025 - 10:26am
gamescope --mangoapp --force-grab-cursor --rt -W 1920 -H 1080 -w 1280 -h 960 --adaptive-sync -S stretch -r 144 -f -- %command%

These are my launch options, something happens, not sure what...
I play stretched resolution with gamescope.

I'm on CachyOS with new Mesa drivers and on AMD 9070XT.

I also have horrible stuttering after 30-40 mins of gameplay, the frametimes become crazy and spiky as hell.

full AMD laptop freezes and shuts off when disconnecting charger under load

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 May 2025 - 9:59am

Hello everyone. After countless hours of googling and asking different LLMs, I've decided I need real help.

As the title says, I have an Asus ROG Strix G513 Advantage Edition (2021) with a Ryzen 9 5900HX and a Radeon RX 6800M, 32 GB of RAM. I'm running EndeavourOS.

Whenever I'm gaming on my laptop and (usually by accident) disconnect my charger, the laptop immediately freezes and reboots.

I'm 99% certain the issue is with power delivery, as the system can't switch power profiles fast enough before the GPU attempts to draw 130W when it's unavailable, causing the system to panic and reboot. There are no logs, the system is crashing before any logs can be saved, I checked with journalctl.

This never happened on my older laptop with an Nvidia GTX1050, but it could be attributed to the much less power hungry GPU rather than an Nvidia driver thing.

What I have tried so far: 1. I have all the asus-linux packages (g14 kernel, asusctl, supergfx, etc..) as well as LACT. 2. I tried setting power rules through KDE 3. I tried setting power rules with TDP 4. I think at some point I tried setting direct udev rules/calls to switch power profiles ASAP on charger disconnect.

None of these worked.

A hint in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

steam refusing to launch games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 May 2025 - 9:21am

This one drove me nuts for hours. As I was attempting to gather all of my notes to ask for help. I finally have it working. I will post this in the event it is helpful to someone else.

wine: failed to open "c:\\windows\\system32\\steam.exe": c0000135

1956.198:0030:00d8:warn:threadname:NtSetInformationThread Thread renamed to L"wine_threadpool_worker"

1956.198:0030:00dc:warn:threadname:NtSetInformationThread Thread renamed to L"wine_threadpool_worker"

1956.198:0030:00e0:warn:threadname:NtSetInformationThread Thread renamed to L"wine_threadpool_worker"

pid 15473 != 15472, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)

So steam will refuse to run many games. I have my games installed to /mnt/Games/Steam

proton is installed in /home/%username%/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/

I plugged the above error log into chatgpt and it suggested that I use the following touch command to make a steam exe file. I tried to but it told me the file existed already as a symbolic link. touch /mnt/Games/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1142710/pfx/drive_c/windows/system32/steam.exe

So I found the file in the above listed location and checked properties, and the final was pointing back to itself instead of where the file should have been pointing to. I right clicked on another file in the same directory and got the location of where the steam.exe file was actually located.

/home/%username%/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental/files/lib/wine/x86_64-windows/steam.exe

Using that file location, I updated the symbolic link and now warhammer launches. I suspect that I am having similar issues with other games. They do not seem to be happy with my os hopping and using multiple drives. I suspect I will need to update most of my games that aren't launching using the same method.

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1, keyboard controls don't work when it's enabled.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 May 2025 - 8:45am

So, I updated my proton version to GE-Proton 10-3 and I heard about this particular variable to improve gaming in wayland sessions. I'm using KDE with Arch and Nvidia. So I wanted to play Assassin's Creed II with this variable enabled. The game opened, I could even move my mouse. But I couldn't move around with my keyboard. The keyboard controls don't seem to work. The game doesn't lag or stutters. It's just the keyboard. I also tried in Half-Life 2 but result is still the same.

GBVSR Long Connecting To Server Time

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 May 2025 - 7:03am

I just switched to Linux Mint and I noticed that the time it takes for me to "Connect to server", aka load into the game is significantly longer than playing on Windows (about 10 times longer). Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?

Does anybody know of Wayland compositors that have a global tearing toggle, similar to X11's Picom compositor?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 May 2025 - 6:17am

One of the biggest hurdles for me adopting Wayland is, for whatever reason, latency being a huge problem. There are some mitigations, but eventually I reach a point with the standard of tearing window rules. My experience with these window rules is they are incredibly fickle with what does or does not fall into the criteria, and most (if not all) implementations require the window in question to be fullscreen, which obviously prohibits me from low latency in windowed programs.

HoYoPlay doesn't start through Bottles.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 May 2025 - 5:35am

Hey all! I switched back to linux a few days ago after using windows for about a week before deciding to go back, I used to play Genshin Impact through Bottles by downloading HoYoPlay and it worked perfectly.

Now I've uninstalled and installed Bottles several times but it's no use, even tried Wine 10.8 staging but it doesn't even show me a black screen it just won't open.

I've tried Lutris and Heroic before but they feel really bad to use so I hope I can find a way to fix this.
