Other News about gaming on Linux

among us is acting EXTREMELY weird

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Dec 2025 - 6:06am

the animations are replaying, i can't vote, it's running on 2FPS even tho it has 10GB of RAM available. i am not sure what is happening. for some reason, everything replays its animation, and the only way to actually get it to work is by pressing the Windows key (or special i think it's called)

Realistically, If anticheat games introduce support to linux would the overall % of linux users change?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Dec 2025 - 6:03am

Realistically, if major anti-cheat systems added full Linux support, would the number of Linux users actually go up?

A lot of people already use Linux or dual-boot but stay on Windows just for games like Valorant, Fortnite, or COD. If that was no longer an issue, would more people switch to Linux or would most stay on Windows because it is already familiar and works for them? Would this mostly affect gaming on Linux or desktop use in general?

Our indie murder-mystery visual novel Sleuth Saga: Under Starless Skies now has a Steam page! We already support Linux with our itch demo and will support Linux right away when we release on Steam!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Dec 2025 - 5:47am

Sleuth Saga: Under Starless Skies is a "Sociopathological Western" murder-mystery visual novel adventure game set in a detailed fictional world with a focus on wild political conspiracy and far-reaching intrigue, inspired by classics of the genre like Ace Attorney and Danganronpa.

Earlier this year we posted a demo at sleuthsaga.itch.io/under-starless-skies containing the entirety of EPISODE 1 for free, and since then we've been hard at work on a major update which will also contain the entirety of EPISODE ZERO for free. When we're ready to launch it, this version of the demo will also be on Steam.

EPISODE ZERO is nearing completion and is likely to be ready early in the new year, so if you're interested we'd love it if you wishlisted us on Steam or followed us on any of our social media channels - SleuthSaga on X, BlueSky, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and of course, here. We also have a Discord server at https://discord.gg/qmxdXrnzZ3

We really can't wait to share EPISODE ZERO with you, and we're so grateful for all the wonderful support we've had in the six months since launching on itch!

AMD BC-250 USB 3.0 issue

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Dec 2025 - 5:39am

I got the system running and works like a charm. Only problem now is that the USB 3.0 ports aren't working. Linux sees the controllers but nothing I plug into those ports are recognized. Anyone else have this problem?

Crash Bandicoot 4 It's About Time cutscenes run at 1/2 fps, everything else works perfectly fine

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Dec 2025 - 4:54am

I tried with Proton GE (10-27), Experimental, with and without gamemode/game-performance, with and without mangohud, with and without gamescope.

I tried removing the fps limit, disabling/enabling vsync, windowed/fullscreen, nothing.

I'm using the NHANCED mod, same issue with or without it too.

Always same result, the game works perfectly (way better than Windows due to better AMD drivers on Linux, no shader cache stutter whatsoever), I only have this cutscenes issue. I've been using the Battle.net version, I do not own the Steam one.

I'm on CachyOs, R7 5700x and RX 7900XT.

Persona 5 Royal won't launch on Lutris

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Dec 2025 - 4:12am

So I just downloaded persona 5 royal from very legit source and everything went well throughout the install but now when I try to play it through Lutris, it just won't open.
My other games like Sekiro, Firewatch, etc. are running fine but it's just persona which is not opening.

Windows Enhance Pointer Precision acceleration on Linux ( libinput fork )

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Dec 2025 - 2:28am

Hey I created a fork of libinput that replaces Adaptive acceleration with Windows' Enhance Pointer Precision.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/tehabstract/libinput-epp

You can also use the aur package:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libinput-epp

I only implemented it for mouse, if there is interest I'll implement it for touchpad.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Dec 2025 - 2:25am

Hey, would it be possible to have some kind of overlay for TeamSpeak 3 or 5? If that thing exists, can you share its name, please?

I am looking to get back into Planetside 2, and one clan/outfit that I would like to join makes use of TeamSpeak for comms. I just want to see who's talking.

Dynamic env variables in steam ?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Dec 2025 - 2:02am

Is there any way to run a bash script that'd check some stuff and export env variables before the game launches ?

For example a script like this for switching display depending on wether i'm in big picture or on desktop client

sh if [ "$SteamTenfoot" == "1" ]; then export WAYLANDDRV_PRIMARY_MONITOR=DP-1 else export WAYLANDDRV_PRIMARY_MONITOR=HDMI-A-2 fi

I'd probably also want to set some default parameters i'd like to set for all games in 1 place (i can just override them further in parameters), rather than trying to remember them every time i launch game.

Basically what i'm looking for is, "hey before you launch proton launch this script that will set up env vars"

and yes, i'd want it to be in steam, since i want to simply hit big picture mode rather than close and launch whole thing again.

Carx Street won't launch on Linux with Proton

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Dec 2025 - 1:46am

hi guys,

since latest Update i can not start the Game anymore. Normally i use Proton GE-9.7 but i also tried different Version and Experimental and so on. But i only see the Anticheat Loader and then everything stops again. Also tried with "Steamdeck=1" Parameter and its still same.

with native Linux Version i can start Game but i can not use my modded Camera - then i also get just Black Screen after Loading Animation.

As ProtonDB doesn't show up any of this Problems i think its just related to my Settings.

I am on CachyOS btw.

CS2 performance getting worse? just me or did valve do something?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Dec 2025 - 1:07am

I run cachyOS with an rx7900xt and a ryzen 9 5900x. I also use hyprland. and I used to get 300-400 fps in an empty map in cs2 but now I only get ~250. my GPU usage only ever gets to about 60%. I used to only see a small difference in framerate between linux and windows but its massive now, I also used to get at least 80% gpu usage, now it only ever gets to 60-70%. has anyone else noticed the performance getting worse on CS2 linux? I know this isn't really enough information for anyone to help me actually fix anything, I just wanted to know if other people have had this issue so I can figure out if its a CS2 thing or something I did. you cant que if you run cs2 through proton but you can open private matches and my performance on proton is better then native. I reinstalled cachy OS last night and my performance is the same.

have a 300 hz monitor so it does matter to me if i get 250 or 400 fps. performance is also worse in a real game vs an empty match so 400 fps in an empty map means I will get like 250-300 in a match and 300 in an empty map means I will get like 150-250 in an actual match.

Heroic Games Launcher and its Snap version.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Dec 2025 - 12:37am

I'm trying to fix the Snap version of the Heroic Games Launcher.

I managed to build it, log into my account, run 32-bit and 64-bit games, use MangoHUD in 64-bit games, and create game shortcuts in the applications menu.

I need people to test and report any problems found only in the Snap version, so I can try to resolve what's possible.

The link to the Snap versions I build is this: https://github.com/Kyuyrii/Test-Snap-Heroic/releases

The link where issues should be opened is this: https://github.com/Kyuyrii/Test-Snap-Heroic/issues
