Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried different versions of Proton GE and Valve's Proton, and it still doesn't work.

I also tried several overrides like this one:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="amd_ags_x64.dll=b"

OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: Linux 6.18.7-arch1-1Mesa 25.3.4-arch1.1
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 (8) @ 4.00 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP [Discrete]
Memory: 16 GB

Driver GPU: Mesa 25.3.4-arch1.1

A few weeks ago, I installed Fedora 43 KDE in dual boot with Windows. Before, I used to play TF2 and L4D2 on Windows 11 without any problems, but now when I try to play them, I experience a kind of lag or delay that I hadn't seen before. It's as if it freezes every second. It seems to be because of my ping, but I don't really think that's the problem.

I can only upload one video to reddit so here's more: https://imgur.com/a/zYtdgBS
The videos are compressed, but you get the idea.

When the scene is darker, or against a dark bacground, there's massive ghosting happening.

Other times, the scatter effect is present, like on the hair, or entire screen.

Then there's artefacts like the scene with water.

Now, Hogwarts legacy is just an example here, i've seen this exact issue in other games with raytracing, and it seems to have happened more or less recently with one of the mesa updates, but i'm not sure exactly when it started cause i don't play raytracing games that much.

Observer System Redux seems to be behaving the best with raytracing compared to some others, not sure why. Maybe cause it's just way smaller compared to some bigger games. But everything is so extremely noisy and bad all the time, this can't be normal, can it? I played Cyberpunk with ray tracing on Windows, it didn't look this bad.

Some other games with Lumen also were very noisy before, but i've never had ghosting issues with them, and now i do.

Of course, disabling raytracing fixes all those issues, and Hogwarts Legacy works - until it crashes lol, but whatever, separate issue which i can't be bothered to troubleshoot so i'll just probably uninstall it if it keeps happening. I'll keep it long enough to test the new driver version when it comes out though.

Mesa 26 is due to release soon-ish, so maybe some improvements then?

I've been trying to figure out how to get a hearthstone arena tracker working on lutris, but most options are either outdated or only available on windows. Has anyone figured this out or have any ideas for how to get the windows version working on lutris? Thanks

i've run into this issue which is making me really frustrated and i can't find a solution.

i recently started playing uncharted 4, but the controller deadzones in this game are crazy high and the only solution i found to fix them is to adjust the anti-deadzone setting in steam input. that works well, except steam input only works if steam overlay is working which is an issue because im playing with hdr which requires wayland and steam overlay doesn't work on wayland.

is there a way i can get hdr working with steam overlay or maybe even a different way to adjust anti-deadzones? i feel like i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Hey all. Needing advice. I've had issues with an externall hdd staying in use with my laptop. It works perfectly well in Windows. But when i format it to a Linux useable format it works for about half its volume and can be read but steam will not download more games to it. I tried in Bazzite and Mint and got this error. Any suggestions or ideas?

Has anyone tried a scrolling tiling manager on a gaming handheld? How is the experience?

Thinking about it makes me feel like it would be pretty intuitive as you wouldn't have to rely on the mouse as much but I'm not sure what it's actually like using it. Is it pretty good? Is it better than using a desktop environment?

context :hey I want to buy new laptop because the laptop i actually have is crap (it's a french site btw) i use linux on it for now 1 years first i used cachy OS (perfect) before and now artix linux with hyprland because of ram issue when i play a too heavy game or too many tabs in chrome in term of ram systemd used to kill the game or all the open things even the DE causing black screen for 5 second

i used to play games like war thunder ; deep rock galactic ; heavy minecraft modpacck ; and others i'm used to REAL upscalling i mean not 50% of 1200p but 10% of 600p to 1200p to play enlisted

So i'm searching a laptop that feel my requirement:

- 14" to 16"

- minimum support of linux (no shit like the T2 chip from apple or like srufaces microslop)

- SODIMM slot OR 16gigs soldered minimum

- good igpu like the 760M or better

- 2 slot of SSD M.2 the second one need to be 2280 (i see you lenovo)

- Windows key not always included ( without windows if it diminish the price)

- price tag of max 700€ (in france)

- USB4 (oculink if possible) if some of the requirement aren't fill (futur usage of eGPU)

- french azerty keyboard

i've found 2 laptop that fullfill my requirement the swift go 14 or the acemagic rx16 (R7 H255 version so the rename of the 8745hs) they both have their advantage but il go with thhe acer one wich one would you recommend

technic: to know if an acer laptop can have double SSD go to drivers and manual > document and see if there is a pdf name life ext cycle with that you can see the mothherboard
same with lenovo go to support "your laptop serial name" > shop parts > motherboard you can also see if the motherboard accept 2 SSD and wich size( 2280 and 2242 or 2x2242 the majority of time)

I gave a non-tech savvy family member a Linux Laptop.

Not to long ago I received 2 PC's that didn't support Windows 11 from a co-worker who was looking to recycle them. I took those PC's and put Ubuntu on both of them with the intent to give away one of them and keep the other. A family member of mine did not have a PC at all and was wanting something they could use to play Terraria on a bigger screen (they had been running it on their phone). I told them I had a PC I could give them but just so they were aware it was running Linux and not Windows their response was "I don't know what that means"

I gave them the PC over 2 months ago and I've only received one question the next day which was 'how do I change the password'. I did the basic legwork of installing the OS, Steam, and creating their user profile. Ubuntu has been keeping their PC up to date (it pops up and lets them know when updates are needed they just have to put in their password). I gave them a basic rundown of 'this is the app store', 'this is the web browser' etc on how to use the PC but they don't care about deep customization nor do they need to do anything more complex than opening Steam and a web browser. They've done everything other than the basic setup on their own even managed to connect their home printer to it without issue.

I always see this belief that if you throw someone into Linux they'll just be lost but we've come a long way since the days of unstable and not user friendly kernels. I think this issue is actually people who are too ingrained in the windows ecosystem; the 'just knowledgeable enough to be dangerous' types that expect their technical windows knowledge to be rewarded with something that works exactly like that. Someone going with less expectation seems to be rewarded for it since they don't need nor want to do anything deep or complex.

Hello there! I've been using LinuxMint for normal laptops to work and I'm kinda familiar. However, I have a MSI with Intel Core i5 12th gen + Nvidia RTX 2050, it is a MSI Thinh GF 63. I have games such: War Thunder, Metal Gear Solid Rising, The Witcher 3, Zenless Zone Zero, Umamusume, Strinova, Repo, Asetto Corsa Competitizione, Call Of Duty de Plutonium, Pragmata Demo (Looking to purchase it). I'm also looking to purchase Space Marines 2, Nier Automata and Red Dead Redemption 2. I'm still scared to use Linux there, since I'm still thinking they will not run at all.

Hi there 👋 Long term windows user with occasional dip into Linux. Last 2 years, I've been using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on my Framework 13 and now, I want to switch my gaming rig to Linux.

I'm a bit thorn between Bazzite and Cachyos. Simplicty vs Arch based distro. Both seems to be highly performant in gaming.

Got some questions and would loce to hear your experiences. 🙏😎

I don't mind thinkering in command line, but I never tried Arch based distros. How difficult are they to maintain with updates and so on?

I quite like Bazzite (or SteamOS) console mode (if I connect my rig to tv), is there anything similar on Cachyos?

If anyone run both distros, how are the performance between them?

And lastly, I'd just like to hear your experience with transition to linux gaming? 😊

I will run w11 iot ltsc on smaller drive for stuff that I can't use linux (some MP games, vr, specialty programs), but plan is to try ditch MS shit as much as possible.

Rig specs: Gigabyte B550m board Powercolor Reaper 9070xt Ryzem 5700x3D 32gb ddr4 3200mhz 2tb gen4 nvme 2tb gen3 nvme

Hi everyone,

I’m having a serious stability issue on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS and I’m looking for help to understand what might be causing it.

I’m experiencing complete system freezes.

The issue happens after a few hours of use, and especially when trying to play games, but it is not limited to gaming.

When the freeze occurs:

• The laptop screen turns off
• The external monitor becomes solid green
• Audio may loop
• Keyboard and mouse stop responding
• TTY cannot be accessed
• The system only recovers after a forced reboot

We already tried changing the kernel, but with newer kernels the issue becomes more frequent, not less.

I’m looking for help to understand what could be causing this and how to properly diagnose it.

Hello,

not really a gaming problem, but maybe someone can help. I use cachyos and just installed High-Tide but when I start it, it is stuck in "loading". Does someone have an idea?
