I installed Rayman Legends through Faugus Launcher (Ubisoft Connect) and the game doesn't recognize my controller.

I've tryed changing the proton version (i tried Proton GE and Proton UMU), disabling hidraw, and running the game through steam and nothing seems to work

Can someone just eli5 how to use inputplumber? I can't find many good resources online for how to use it and the example files are a bit overwhelming for someone not too familiar with the whole thing. All I want to do is combine 2 controller halves into one controller. (2 playstation navigation controllers)

I REQUIRE CONTEXT

I made the switch to linux when the steam deck was announced. I knew it would be a linux machine and ive tried to switch before( last attempt being when the steam machine was first announced) but it was always still too much work even if I could get it to work so why wouldn't a new piece of valve hard ware be a good place to re-examine the state of linux. Im not exactly a power user but I knew enough to know how to get stuff done but also not be willing to do the work to do so.

Anyway, I dont recall many, if any, games doing shader compilation before that point and I also THINK I recall that elder ring actually ran better under Proton than windows because there were optimization issues that were kinda bypassed by the fact that Proton pre caches shaders. And since I feel like a lot of games do so on first boot/update.

Am I crazy for making this connection and it was already happening i just never noticed?

Hi all. I have a pretty good PC and have been wanting to switch to Linux. Sorry to be one of those oldsters who play a 20 year old game.

I got WoW installed with a bit of difficulty on Arch/KDE: the Lutris installer installed the battle.net launcher but when I ran it, there was no visible content in the little app - just a half frozen graphic

For a second attempt I downloaded the installer directly from here:

wget https://downloader.battle.net/download/getInstallerForGame?os=win\&gameProgram=BATTLENET_APP -O BattleNetSetup.exe

and ran it under Steam as a non-Steam app, forcing it to use Proton Experimental as the runner. This second go worked much better: Launcher seemed fine and I could install and run the game; I thought I was home and hosed, with a smooth 120fps

Except: every player moving around did so in a jerky erratic way, as if their network updates were jerky and fragmented. Apparently my characters looked the same to other people, too, when moving. I’ve never had this issue when dual booting into Windows 11, so it’s the same PC, networking etc for both environments

Can any of you recommend a good way to install and tune WoW (Classic, Anniversary). I’d really appreciate any advice, thank you

EDIT: I just got flamed by u/S48GS for not including details. This was my first post to this community, sorry, didn't think to include that, it's perfectly valid information to request, but I don't know exactly what you want to see.

NVIDIA-SMI 580.105.08 Driver Version: 580.105.08 CUDA Version: 13.0 RTX4090 Kernel is 6.17.9-arch1-1 Hardware is AMD 7950x on ASUS b650e-f, 64GB of 6000MHz DDR5 memory

Hi! I'm new to gaming but I've been fumbling around with linux for a while. I'm looking to create a sort of arcade-cabinet type object for my mother and younger brother to play Stardew Valley on. Could someone tell me if this would be something resembling a reasonable system?

Intel NUC i5 8th gen, running bazzite, with steam in big picture mode

hdmi -> vga adapter to an old desktop CRT

all mounted in a custom wooden enclosure

please lemme know if i should be more specific

Hi there :)

So, the thing is: I want to gift myself with what will be my first vr experience, but I'm on a pretty tight budget. Also, I would like to remain on linux (I could dual-boot, but that wouldn't be ideal).

I've been investigating about vr on linux and, for my budget (150€) on the 2nd hand market I've found both the og Vive and the Quest 2.

I have some things to have in mind when picking one over the other: my wifi is not the best, arround 300mbps download, sometimes 400, and my GPU is also not the best, so my pc would probably use the better performance on the Vive.

My biggest concern is about people talking about the bad resolution on the Vive. Is it really that bad? I probably wouldn't bother if it was just a bit blurry - I'm very near-sighted.

What do you think? Which one should I pick? Is there any other headset to have in consideration?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: If it was 100% necessary, I could also increase a bit the budget, but that isn't ideal neither. I also forgot to mentinon my specs:

CPU: r5 5500

GPU: rx6600

RAM: DDR4 16 3200Mhz

Hogwarts Legacy lag s a lot on Linux whilemon windows with the same hardware plays great at ultra settings with fsr3. How can I fix it so it performs as well on Linux? I 'm saving for a new GPU but this is a problem only on Linux. The same thing happened with Star Wars Battlefront but I just needed to get AMD's official driver but that's already installed.

It took me a few years to get around to do it since the feature released, because (excuse the poor terminology) I originally had installed my OS without UEFI enabled in BIOS, and I couldn't just toggle BAR on, I first needed to switch UEFI on (which needed OS reinstall) so I could then enable Resizable BAR (or Smart access memory/SAM as AMD calls it). My computer-versed mates had no idea about this feature so maybe some will benefit from a general reminder, at least for me it's on average a net benefit.

I've been trying to monitor my performance on some emulators that I installed through Flatpak (RPCS3 and ShadPS4), I'm using Goverlay to make things simpler for me and it works really nice for Steam, Heroic Launcher and app-images but I cant get to work with flatpaks.

I've released the first (probably) stable version of Zordeer and Meganimus, version 1.0.

The main change in Zordeer is that it now supports umu-launcher, but this is optional.

Meganimus now also has Eden and Snes9x as executors.

The configuration files that were JSON have been replaced with TOML.

Zordeer and Meganimus now have Spanish translations; the external translation files are .toml files.

My brother had no issues, but I keep getting a message about Microsoft C++ runtime. I installed it. I restarted my computer. I uninstalled and reinstalled it. I still get the message. I can't install it twice. I have done everything I can think of other than uninstalling the game and reinstalling. What is even happening?

Running Kubuntu 24.04, Radeon 7700XT. I renamed amd_fidelityfx_vk.dll to amd_fidelityfx_vk.old

Okay, so, a game I've been waiting for for a decent while, A.I.L.A (it's a horror game) released a few days ago, and I've noticed some very strange behavior from it. As stated in the title, the graphics keep on setting themselves to the lowest possible settings whenever I launch the game. I can confirm that this behavior doesn't happen on Windows. The leading theory I have right now is that the developers specifically set the game to detect all Linux distros as Steam Deck and it forces the game to run at the "Steam Deck" settings that the developers have set (which are pretty much the lowest settings across the board. The game IS Steam Deck verified, so that lends further credence to this theory.

These are the things I have tried so far:

Setting the graphics settings file to read-only, which stops the settings in the file from getting set to their lowest values on launch, but then the game just seems to completely disregard the file and uses the lowest settings anyway.

I tried using the "SteamDeck=0" command to try and get the game to stop treaking my PC as a Steam Deck, if that's what's really happening.

I'm not really sure what else I could try. This game is decently obscure and doesn't seem to be gaining much traction, so I'm not sure if anyone will be able to provide a fix or not. (I have already sent a bug report to the developers about this, but I truly have no idea if they'll listen or not) so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

Hey! New to gaming on Arch Linux. Everytime i want to start the game "The Farmer Was Replaced" there opens a small windows for a moment and instantly closes. I changed the compability to "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" to Proton 9.0-4.
Thanks y'all for your help :D

Recently, Borderlands 2 keeps crashing on my pc whenever I try to fight the W4R-D3N boss. When the game crashes, the music is still playing and the "Borderlands 2 not responding" popup shows, but I can't click on anything because my pc cursor disappears. I try to alt+tab back to my browser and my cursor is still gone. The only thing I can do is hit the power button to restart my entire pc.

Technical stuff: Everything up to date (including graphics drivers), rebooted the computer many times. I'm running lastest version of Linux Mint. I previously had set my overall steam compatibility tool to Proton 9.0-4, but didn't force any specific tool for Borderlands 2.

I tried to tinker with it according to what others have said on protondb including forcing proton experimental, but any other Proton tool besides 9.0-4 would just lose all my game progress, which is really frustrating.

Forcing other proton tools also changed how the game looked since the main menu had an option to learn more about Borderlands 4 and also crossplay, something that didn't show up when I played the game without forcing a specific tool.

What do I do? I want to play the game, but I also don't want to lose all my progress. Also, why is this happening?

Hi, so I've been suffering from this issue for a little while now (Framework Desktop), but not right from the beginning and I can't for the life of me figure out what causes (caused?) it. I use EndeavourOS on Hyprland. My framework desktop is mainboard-only, and I use a Corsair 450w SFX psu. It has 37A to the 32A on 12v Framework recommends. I also use a pretty chonky fan (Silent Wings 4 Pro).

Through a lot of observation, I found out in which exact scenario it happens, and it's as follows:

When it happens:

SPECIFICALLY, when I play a game that has some sort of scene where there are a lot of very quick FPS dips due to CPU processing, it may crash on one of these dips! Two games where I've observed this happen (and others never crash): Blue Protocol, when crafting, every time an item gets made, I have an invisible FPS dip, but Steam's FPS graph shows that there is an instantaneous dip.

Here's a video showing the dips: https://files.catbox.moe/nf0304.mp4 and here's an image showing them in detail: https://files.catbox.moe/om3ctt.png. In the video above, I've fixed the game to 30 fps, which seems to alleviate the issue somewhat, since the dips aren't so wild, it seems to be much less likely to die.

A second game where I have it happen is Zenless Zone Zero; but there, it only really happens in moments of loading, like the agent select, scrolling between agents can cause it, or starting a mission. Never during a mission, really. Only in moments of slight stutter.

Thesis

What this brings me to think about is power management, and looking at other threads, yes, people keep suggesting to change power management values. But this hasn't really worked for me yet. I will attach dmesg and such of when it happens at the end of this writeup. What I think happens is during this small window of "no frames" being rendered by the GPU (CPU stalling) is that the GPU goes into a lower power window, and then right back up. I don't know WHY this would break, but it seems in conjunction with the current driver implementation, it doesn't like it. It also doesn't sound good, to be fair.

What I've tried

So here are, in no particular order, things I've changed on the system to try to get rid of the issue. I've also tried combinations of them (albeit not every combination... probably).

• Apply kernel values
  • amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffbfff (and other variants I've found, I haven't documented them all)
  • amdgpu.mes=0 or 1 (didn't change anything. maybe the "new" MES scheduler is forced on this newer GPU? I definitely know it always announces itself in the dmesg when it breaks, whether or not it's on or off)
  • amdgpu.pm=0 (it causes the kernel to complain literally every second that it can't switch power states, also seems to be stuck in a low asf power state then)
• Different kernels:
  • linux-drm-next-git, linux-drm-tip-git
  • Since what complains is the kernel, I thought the one with the newest bleeding edge graphics implementations would work, but it didn't change anything
• MESA
  • replacing mesa lib32-mesa vulkan-mesa-layers lib32-vulkan-mesa-layers vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon vulkan-mesa-implicit-layers lib32-vulkan-mesa-implicit-layers with this family of packages
  • downgrading mesa as far as it goes (but at some point, my libc is too new, so it doesn't go that far...)
• linux-firmware-git
  • having the newest firmwares, maybe?
• proton versions
  • like tkg, em, etc...
• Considered that maybe the PSU is at fault (during power state switching, the PSU isn't fast enough, causing brownout issues, making the GPU trip?). I've tried two other PSUs, but the FW mobo didn't like them. It didn't turn on. I will try my 800w psu in my big tower that drives a 200w cpu and a 300w gpu without issues, though. To put all of that out of the question. I tried the big, new PSU and it didn't change anything. So much for that!

The logs

This one is with some of the newer, bleeding edge packages, it's how most of these went down. Game froze, then held that way (while music and audio continued to play as normal). Then blackscreen, unable to switch TTY while this went on. I recorded this thru SSH... https://pastebin.com/hHnJMBuw Sometimes it would get unstable so even if I do get it to recover, it would have mouse stuttering every few seconds. So it's usually a reboot. SysRq, REISUB, which it DID listen to!

Then the most recent one https://pastebin.com/LzapNrnP, in this one, it actually recovered by itself, which just killed the game but the rest kept on living.

I'm sorry for the long-ass post, I just wanted to show you that I've tried everything I could so far. Another thing I'm gonna try is to just switch to Plasma which is the most developed Wayland compositor and desktop, and also where Valve has their eyes on. I also considered using a gamescope-steam session to get the compositor completely out of the picture.

I've read that Proton hotfix is fo specific, newer games. Also that steam will try to assign the best proton for each game.

So why does my entire library default to hotfix? Both my pc and laptop. Is there a setting I can't find? Does it only do this for steamdeck? What am I missing here?

Currently using ProtonDB to determine my best option. Just be nice if I could "play it out of the box", as so many others report they can.
