i have some old CD games that i install using lutris

since i recently bought a new computer i reinstalled linux but i just moved my game drive into my new system

the problem is that my games on lutris dont have the artwork, i could download the images and add the manually but i want to know if lutris can do it automatically

it does it automatically when installing a game

Edit:

i found the solution, right click on the game and then configure

below each image is a button, click that to set the image automatically

I just installed sober on linux mint and not even my cursor loves at 10 fps. Can anyone tell me whats wrong?

Yes, it's a DX12 game so some nvidia tax is expected, but ~45% is a bit wild, no? Event tho it shows 120+fps it feels much worse as the frame times or so inconsistent and get even worse in combat. If I could get to run smoothly at 60fps I'd be happy, but I can't even get that.

It has a gold rating on protondb so I guess it should run better? I did try the launch commands people posted there but nothing made the game run better or more stable. I also tried different proton versions and kernels but unfortunately no improvement.
I just don't know what else to try. Any ideas?

Hey guys, so I'm running Fedora with KDE using RTX 3060TI as my gpu. However there's this thing, frame pacing, so I have to use gamescope/mangohud every time for a new game. I was wondering if there's another way, perhaps a DE that will automatically switch to x11 for games, or have a gamemode or something like that. Perhaps a different solution to that. Any help/suggestion is welcome, thanks in advance

I am a long time Linux user, I usually run Openbox but this past year I have been trying out XFCE, the one major glaring issue I have is that apps either A. open on the monitor my mouse is on, or B. reliably open on my secondary monitor. I have set my main monitor to be the "primary" monitor through every setting that I can find, but the issue still persists.

I know there must be some simple setting I am missing somewhere but I have searched high and low and cannot seem to find the setting to fix this.

Hello I am a Debian 13 Trixie user who tried to install NVIDIA drivers by following this guide:

https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/1jyzgrx/the_correct_way_to_install_newer_nvidia_drivers/

(yes I know that this creates a kind of Frankendebian) but after rebooting I got the following message during booting:

failed to start NVIDIA persisteced.service -Nvidea persistence daemon during boot

I tried setting "nomodeset" during boot to get access to my desktop and fix the issue but it didn't work.

Help what should I do next

So, as the title indicates, I'm having an issue with certain parts of games going black and rendering them unplayable once my PC has been sitting idle long enough for the monitor to shut down or the PC to lock itself. Logging out of the KDE session and then back in appears to fix it.

I've made a few posts about this issue before. I had thought that running updates or picking a different version of Proton and rebooting was what was fixing the problem. I was mistaken. Apparently, it was only rebooting the machine that was temporarily solving the problem. As, if I rebooted the machine without running updates, the game would work. That led me to believe that there was more to the issue than I thought, so I tried just logging out and back in and that also solves the problem.

Until the machine sits idle again. I can boot the rig up, play a game for a couple of hours and then walk away. When I come back after another hour or so, the splash logos will often pop in instead of fading in as they do, or the menu will be black for a moment before finally appearing, if it even does. When I go to resume a game, the game itself is black and unplayable. This does not limit itself to any particular game. It is all Steam games and it doesn't matter if they're using Proton or running natively: it affects Borderlands 2 both ways. I'm not sure if this issue affects GOG games on Heroic Launcher or not.

I really have no idea where to even begin troubleshooting this. If there are any logs you require, please feel free to tell me how to get them and I will post them. Any help is appreciated. This issue has been annoying me for months.

I'm running CachyOS with KDE Plasma and an RX7800XT.

Hi everyone, I recently made the jump to linux (right now with Ubuntu 24, but open to trying other distros if that would help somehow) and I'm looking for a controller with gyro and rumble features enabled over wireless (whether Bluetooth or 2.4ghz or something).

Actually I was often using the ps5 dualsense controller on Windows, which is what prompted me to make this post. On Ubuntu, I get most of the special features like adaptive triggers, trackpad as mouse, and gyro, which was great, but I can't get the HD rumble thingy to work, whereas it was working on Windows. I do get normal rumble on Linux, but some games only work with the HD rumble and I don't get rumble at all (this happens to me on MH Wilds, but there may be some per-game settings that I am not aware of?)

I also have tried the 8bitdo Ultimate 2 controller wireless, which can connect via either Bluetooth or its proprietary 2.4 dongle. There's also apparently the option of booting up the controller in different modes using certain button combinations, but I have tried some configurations and no luck getting both rumble and gyro working.

Both controllers are updated with the latest official firmware (using the updater programs on Windows), so I don't know if some of the hardware is just limited on Linux, or if there's something else on the software side that I can try, I'd like to hear if anyone has experience with these or similar controllers.

Also, I am interested about recommendations of other controllers that people have tried out and know that work for sure. I'm also interested in the upcoming steam controller, which should work for me if I understood correctly all the features.

Thanks in advance

If I try exist after logging into root. It goes back to login. System reboot does just reboot, doesn't fix it. Don't know what to do right now. A little help is appreciated, thanks! This happened after I installed proton ge, steam and gamemode, then restarted to windows for some work.

Hello all! I decided a few days ago that I didn’t want to play casual rocket league through steam share from my brothers rocket league game. So, after installing heroic and running into controller problems (dual shock and steam deck controllers not working), I finally fixed it by installing the newest wine version, GEproton10.27. It was working fairly well, and pretty consistently (for a day and a half ish). Now, here I am, again, repeatedly launching rocket league in desktop mode hoping that it will let my controller through. For those who run rocket league this way, I would appreciate any help or advice and experience in this kind of problem! I’m open to using others ways of running rocket league that are known to be better also. Thank you!

Not sure if this means anything, but I know something recognizes the DualShock input in the start screen because I hear the sound that usually occurs when a start button is activated. Still, nothing happens.

Wine and Proton work better than they ever have. At this point, almost every game on Steam launches and runs on Linux, often with performance that matches or exceeds Windows. Compatibility is no longer the limiting factor.

Despite this, the number of games that refuse to run on Linux continues to grow.

These games aren't broken on Linux. They're blocked. Anti-cheat prevents them from running even though the games would otherwise function correctly. and when we ask about support, the response is the same every time. Linux is viewed as the cheater’s operating system.

I used to play a lot of Battlefield 4. It was the last entry in the series that allowed Linux players, and for a long time it was also widely viewed as the last good battlefield game. With the release of Battlefield 6, the player base moved on. That effectively killed Battlefield 4, and with it my ability to enjoy the series at all. I would rather stop buying EA games than return to Windows, but it still hurts.

All I want is to play games I paid for, on the platform I choose, without being treated like a cheater simply for not using Windows.

From my understanding so far the wine topology command i see used in some steam games is mainly used by X3D processors. Does intel have any use with the core ultra processors having p-core,e-core and low power cores? And if so how would I go about knowing what I would set as the value for that launch option on an ultra 7 155h? I only play guild wars 2 anymore and I see a lot of the protondb listings with wine topology enabled.

Currently on CachyOS on an omen transcend 2024

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)
