To begin with, the game somehow started to run, but here is some chronology:

I'm the OP of the post. It was deleted as I could not edit it and there were some things worth adding to it. This error occurred out of nothing. Here I would like to point out that this game comes with Denuvo and Denuvo itself has a limit of 5 game activation's per 24 hours (a "new" PC will count as an activation). Denuvo counts Proton version changes as new activations ("new" PCs as the fingerprint changes). Tho in this case no versions were changed, at least not manually (will write more about that). I'm not sure if Proton Experimental Bleeding updates count as new activations. While Proton gets updated I'm not sure if it generates every time a new Prefix (meaning it should make Denuvo count it as an activation? or so I think)

As I wrote, the game ran last night. Today it refused to load. There was an update to the game today. Upon failure to load I tried switching proton exp bleeding to GE 10-3 (which I recon should be based on an exp bleeding build from a few days ago that worked with the game? again don't quote me on this). Again, game failed to load. Deleted the Prefix, tried GE again - failed. Deleted prefix again, reverted to exp bleeding - fail. Same error which by my judgment is not the out of token error (out of token = out of activations) as as mentioned below, the out of token error gives a different link and no prompt to write to Denuvo.

The link from the error does provide a prompt to write to Denuvo which I did and kindly asked from them to not F with my game. Now it was either that or a revert from proton exp bleeding to just proton exp that got the game loading. That happened in a span of a hour, meaning the 24 hour activation wasn't triggered (well and the out of token error has a different link with no prompt to write to Denuvo). I'm leaning heavily on Denuvo reverting something on their end, rather than something on mine. I did provide a proton log with the exp bleeding edje not working on the github issue tracker so it might be of use to valve.

My advice for this game will be for you to use maybe proton exp instead of exp bleeding (less updates to trigger Denuvo). Or a GE version that works with the game. Just manual proton updates until Denuvo gets removed.

I'm not sure how many tokens I have left and would not retest exp bleeding to see if Denuvo indeed lifted some ban.

Hope this saves someone from headaches with Denuvo. I spent close to 3 hours troubleshooting this instead of playing. Wanted to play for 20 minutes and go do some other work. Thanks Denuvo!

Save your bandwidth and storage space for now! Even with the latest Proton-GE, Proton Hotfix or Experimental, the game does not launch! Very sad that they chose to include support for Proton in the beta despite having a native Linux port in the first game! Hopefully this will change!

I bought a new TV for gaming and watching movies, which I wanted to use with my PC and PS5. The problem is that whenever I use the VRR setting, the entire screen begins to flicker. FPS and Hz of the screen are desync, I can have 50fps and the screen jumps up to 120. On the desktop it switches between 48-120hz.

On Gnome, this happens instantly when I use VRR. The same thing happens with Plasma when gaming or sometimes when watching videos. Hyprland and Windows same as Gnome.

The TV is a TCL QM8B. The GPU is an RX 9070XT. I'm currently using CachyOS again, but Nobara experienced the same issue.

The PS5 has no problems at all.

Been trying to play The Force Unleashed 2 on Steam Deck and my main PC, but the cutscenes play different audio than the selected Steam language. Has anyone encountered this issue ? I'm really annoyed.

I would love to send some steam keys to anybody willing to test the game on their Linux system, making sure it works as intended. Let me know if you would like to help... and have a free game in the process!

Yep it's me again. 24 hour slayer as I would like to call myself. An update dropped today for DOOM TDA and it seems they have set Denuvo to block the game from running under Linux completely. This isn't the token activation error from changing Protons. That one ends in a 6, this one ends in a 5. Pre game update last night the game ran just fine. I totally get having no support but what I don't get is intentionally limiting the game from running. We had the same with BF1 and BF5. Both games ran so smooth under linux (on AMD windows dx12 was a stutter fest while both games ran so good with vkd3d). A forced kernel anti-cheat borked those games. With the state of current gaming you have no idea if a game that runs ok today will even start tomorrow. F Denuvo!

Already did a post about this issue 2 months ago, PTCGL stopped working on lutris with any runner when it worked fine 3 months ago using the lutris basic runner. There was some discussion about moving the locallow folder from a windows version to the lutris version but this fix doesn't work.

Does anybody have a fix?

Hello everyone.

I'm not an expert on Linux, so I'll just say I've been using it for a bit, but I'm not very experienced with dealing with these sort of issues.,

I run a dual-monitor setup - 1920x1080 60hz and a 1920x1080 75hz. Whenever I launch a game that has a cursor (example Tropico 6, Monster Hunter World), in fullscreen mode (i've made sure it was on Fullscreen), the cursor leaves the fullscreen into the adjacent monitor.

My setup is with main monitor on the right and side monitor on the left.

In Monster Hunter something interesting happens. When I'm playing in a fight, where there is no virtual cursor, everything is fine. When i enter a menu, where the game cursor appears, it can leave the fullscreen.

I've searched and mutiple people have this issue with Wayland from my understanding. I've tried several solutions such as the gamescope grab cursor and such commands, but nothing seems to fix it.

I previously ran Linux Mint and didn't have these issues with X11.

Anyone has a solution for this?

From the original creative team behind the Hand of Fate series, Hordes of Fate : A Hand of Fate Adventure is a mixture of deck-building and auto-shooting as yet another developer attempts to put their own spin on Vampire Survivor-like action.

If I start Battlefront II via Steam, it opens the EA App, runs the EA App installer and then proceeds to open the EA App and show a Windows saying "preparing game". That window then dissapears and the EA App minimizes. One or two minutes later the EA App shortly opens and then crashes.

I have already tried all Proton versions form 6 to 10, GE Proton 7-55, GE Proton 10-3, Hotfix and Experimental, some crash the game earlier, some later.

I also tried using Proton 7 while installing the EA App, then stopping the game and using Experimental to start the game. That actually worked once, but the game didnt detect my keyboard, only my controller and upon restarting the game/trying this again it didnt work anymore.

Running the game/EA App through Lutris isnt really an option as the play button in the EA App is just grayed out and there being no install option due to the game being managed by Steam.

I Also already tried switching from Wayland (Hyprland) to Gnome under XOrg with no effect.

Does anyone know how I can get the game to run consistently?

Giving a really odd and unique blending of genres and game mechanics, Drop Duchy is a wonderful choice for you to pick up and play.

I've been getting this warning here and there when playing L4D2 on my Fedora40 machine.

Is this indicative of an exploit attempt or just some "glitchiness" in the software stack?

BEGIN========= SELinux is preventing hl2_linux from using the execheap access on a process.

***** Plugin allow_execheap (53.1 confidence) suggests ********************

If you do not think hl2_linux should need to map heap memory that is both writable and executable. Then you need to report a bug. This is a potentially dangerous access. Do contact your security administrator and report this issue.

***** Plugin catchall_boolean (42.6 confidence) suggests ******************

If you want to allow selinuxuser to execheap Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'selinuxuser_execheap' boolean.

Do setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1

***** Plugin catchall (5.76 confidence) suggests **************************

If you believe that hl2_linux should be allowed execheap access on processes labeled unconfined_t by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing:

ausearch -c 'hl2_linux' --raw | audit2allow -M my-hl2linux semodule -X 300 -i my-hl2linux.pp

I decided to just stick with windows for the first few days so I can test out some of the AAA games I missed out on from the last few years, but windows 11 is already pissing me off left and right and I'm really missing Linux. Im away from home so I don't have any of spare drive to swap in.

I just wanted to find out what the experience is like currently and any tips I should know. I'm making a post because most of the information I'm finding is like days after launch.

I'm partial to EndeavourOS / Arch in general

Xbox Gamepass was a really good option as a broke gamer, i usaully buy my games from Steam, but most day 1 games i couldn't buy it cuz i wouldn't spend 70$ on every game i wanna play, until say it's a year ago now it can have a good discount. So is Single passthrough VM a usable option? I mean for gaming, is even Xbox app detect if it's an VM or not?

If anyone has experienced with this please spread it.

I'm using Zorin OS and facing issues where games aren't recognising my dedicated Nvidia GPU. Even after reinstalling the Nvidia drivers and graphics mods, the problem still persists. My system has an Intel CPU and an Nvidia GPU. Has anyone faced this before or knows a fix? Would appreciate any help!
