I switched my PC OS to Bazzite months ago, and while it looks like most of my games run fine, Amnesia the Bunker keeps crashing after it loads the main menu. I tried different versions of Proton, but it doesn't seem to affect anything.

I mean, it should work on Linux systems. I recently installed it on my Steam Deck, and it boots up perfectly fine. Why Bazzite is having issues is beyond me.

Does anyone have any idea what's causing this and how to fix this?

FYI: I use an AMD Radeon 9070xt GPU, and an Intel core i7-14700kf CPU. I also use KDE.

Hey guys, I've been trying out some games on linux (cachy OS) and there's one game I'd like to play that has an FPS limit, when I played that game on windows I'd use Lossless Scaling's Frame Generation to up the frame to 144 hz (my monitor's refresh rate) and it did the job pretty well, with some visual bugs here and there but the smoothness made up for it imo.

I'd like to know if it works on linux or if there's an alternative to it, thanks :D

First of all: SORRY FOR THE HORRIBLE VIDEO QUALITY, MY CAMERA NEVER WANTED TO FOCUS and screen recording would've just made the performance much worse.

I've been dealing with this since I got this laptop. When I'm doing a CPU-intensive task like compilation and play a light game, or even when just listening to music, the high CPU usage would make the audio queue go wild and cause audio corruption like the one you can hear in the clip.

5 months already dealing with this.

For reference, in this clip I was compiling qt6-base in the background, but in my old computer this didn't make the sound start wildly glitching.

Specs:

Model: Asus Zenbook Pro 17
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX
iGPU: AMD Radeon 680M (the one the DE uses)
dGPU: NVIDIA RTX 3050 Laptop (the one games like GD use)
RAM: 16 GiB
Display resolution: 2560x1440
Refresh rate: 165 Hz max. (VFR)

Desktop environment: Plasma 6.4.5 but happening all the way back to 6.3.5 (may 2025)
Graphical platform: Wayland
Distribution: Arch Linux - rolling
Kernel: 6.17.3 all the way back to 6.11 in both vanilla and zen versions
Audio controller: Cirrus Logic

Hello everyone! I've recently become a convert. I've been following this guide: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/91500 On how to mod skyrim on Linux. I want install ENB again, but the guide seems outdated on that front. There is no linux folder in the ENB download and it isn't clear to me what I need to do to make ENB series run on linux. Is there a more updated guide somewhere I can follow? Thanks.

I just tried FSR 4 on my Radeon 7900 XT. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed already has recent enough Mesa drivers, and I’m using the RDNA 3 workaround command with FSR 4. The upgrade looks much better.

Borderlands 4 – With FSR 4, performance looks better than with FSR 3 on quality; all the ghosting and blurriness are gone.

Squad – Using the FSR 4 upgrade on Squad, I get around 65 – 85 FPS on Epic settings upscaled to 4K. With FSR 3 I can reach ~100 FPS, but in a game like Squad I find the compromise of lower FPS worth it because the blurriness is removed and it’s much easier to spot enemies at longer ranges. The only downside is that textures can take a bit longer to load.

Question for the community
For anyone who has tried FSR 4 on 7000‑series GPUs, what’s been your experience? (Both games use frame generation, and I’m using the required Proton build.)

So I know that for Proton games we can now use environment variables like DXVK_NVAPI_DRS_NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=render_preset_latest to update to the latest DLSS preset. Is there anyway to do this for native games (e.g. the new Baldur's Gate 3 port)?

PREFACE: This is not my system, I am a third party trying to help get this working

Game runs and can start a new character, but game always crashes before being able to leave doc Mitchell's house. Dialogue also doesn't produce sound outside of dedicated conversations, gets the subtitles but no sound. Tried installing mo2 for stability mods from https://github.com/Furglitch/modorganizer2-linux-installer but couldn't figure out how to make 7z work on her system.

I've followed ever step correctly and I keep getting the same error at the end of the install. I'm new to linux so there may be something I'm missing. I'm using Linux Mint Mate 22.2.

Good evening gamers

I saw that GTA IV had Gold compatibility on ProtonDB, so I tried to install it. I also installed the FusionFix community patch, but the game wouldn't launch. I got through the Rockstar Launcher installation, but every time I try to launch it, I get the "Grand Theft Auto IV exited unexpectedly" error.

Naturally, I assumed it was a problem with the mod, so I removed it. I also verified game files and then reinstalled the entire game, but it still won't launch. The only launch option I have is the one that enables Proton to write logs to a file: PROTON_LOG=1 %command%

I tried to change the Proton runtime to the latest version, the latest beta version, proton experimental and GE Proton, with no change in behavior.

Here are the logs: (I uploaded them to a minecraft log website because pastebin said it was too large lol): https://mclo.gs/5i6Vw1S - I couldn't spot anything obvious in those logs, so I'm still aimless.

My specs, if its helpful:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x

GPU: Phantom Gaming (ASRock) AMD RX 5600 XT (using mesa-git drivers)

RAM: Kingston 32GB DDR4

OS: Arch Linux (fully updated, 6.17.3-zen2-1-zen kernel. (Zen))

Steam was installed from the multilib repo with paru, not a flatpak.

Any help would be appreciated. I just want to see my Russian boys again :(

EDIT: I seem to be having problems with other Linux-native games too like Garry's Mod. I must've fucked something up so I'm going to do a quick reinstall and see if it fixes it. Please continue to offer solutions in case this doesn't fix it <3. Will come back to update.

I recently got the urge to play the day-one build of Half-Life 2 on Linux, but I'm running into various errors when trying to run it. There's a lot to go through here, but I'll try and keep it as concise as possible.

As of now, I've tried running two different versions of the build 2153: the base version (only includes Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source), and the Collector’s Edition, both of which gave differing results.

Firstly, the base version currently seems to hold the most promise as I have managed to consistently boot it using Proton Experimental on Steam. However, the moment the startup video finishes, I get a black screen. Also, it only boots up in the first place if I use the launch command -steam. If I don’t use said launch command, the game doesn't boot at all; it instead gives me the error Unable to load filesystem_stdio.dll. I’m currently yet to try different Proton versions or Wine, so I’m open to suggestions on which may work best or launch options that may help.

Secondly, the Collector’s Edition, despite being the same exact build, has given totally different results. For example, when running it under the exact same conditions used by the base version, I get the error No CD-ROM drive found., an error which I haven’t found a single mention of on the internet. Just so you’re all aware, to install Collector’s Edition in the first place (unlike the base version where there was already a preinstalled archive containing the game files), I had to run setup.exe on the first disk using Proton Experimental, then go into the Proton prefix and extract the .gcf files in the steamapps folder using GCFScape.

Finally, I want to mention this thread I found which may be of some help. I’ve attempted to use RevEmu, although it doesn’t seem to have made a difference so far. I also tried some of the launch commands provided, but I’m yet to definitively try most things mentioned.

Any help is greatly appreciated, and thank you to anyone who may reply in advance.

I've decided to try using Nobara Linux. For the most part it's been smooth with the drivers out of the box and my GameSir Cyclone 2 controller largely runs without a problem. The issue is it doesn't seem like vibration works at all. At first I was using the wireless dongle, then I switched to Bluetooth to see if that'd do anything. Nothing. I both tried playing games that used vibration and tried testing it through the Steam controller tool. I saw another advice to check to make sure it wasn't a Steam-only issue through using fftest, but using fftest in the terminal gives me a bunch of "Error:: Function not implemented" next to the various effects. I've also tried restarting multiple times and making sure there was no other bluetooth interference. Is there any way to get the rumble to work?

Operating System: Nobara Linux 42

KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.4

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0

Qt Version: 6.9.2

Kernel Version: 6.17.3-201.nobara.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 12 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-11400 @ 2.60GHz

Hello, I am using Nobara's latest version distro and trying to play and log into Wuthering Waves and getting "Gateway timeout issue" while my other game seems to work fine. I have tried to switch various Proton GE files (atleast 4) to log into game and it seems I can't. Is There any solution for this fix?

This summer I built myself a desktop and decided now was as good a time as ever to transition to Linux (been wanting to do it for awhile) and since I am busy and not super technically literate, I settled on Linux Mint. There really hasn’t been too many issues except one: the singular game I play the most (Marvel Rivals).

I will consistently have problems either launching the game, it crashing during certain cutscenes, or just being slower than I know it can. I’m running an RTX 3070 and I feel like every time I try to optimize, something breaks.

Does anyone know the best Kernel, Driver, and Proton combo for this, can go more into specific specs if needed.

1 - Install lsfg-vk from Flathub (latest version):

flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.lsfgvk

2 - Install the GUI (lsfg-vk-ui) via GitHub artifacts: Download the .flatpak file and install it (you can use GNOME Software, Warehouse, Discover, or the terminal):

https://github.com/PancakeTAS/lsfg-vk/actions/runs/17321849341

3 - Install Lossless Scaling in the Steam Flatpak.

4 - Grant the GUI permission to access the Lossless.dll file installed via Steam Flatpak (you’ll also need to grant the same permission for other Flatpaks like Bottles, Heroic, etc.). Using Flatseal, search for “lsfg-vk-ui” and in Filesystem, add (replace with your username):

/home/yourusername/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Lossless Scaling/Lossless.dll

6 - Grant permission to the config directory used by the previously installed GUI. In Flatseal, search for Steam and add this Filesystem path:

/home/yourusername/.var/app/gay.pancake.lsfg-vk-ui/config/lsfg-vk

7 - Add an environment variable so lsfg-vk uses the config directory exposed in step 4. In Flatseal, select Steam and add the following variable:

LSFG_CONFIG=/home/yourusername/.var/app/gay.pancake.lsfg-vk-ui/config/lsfg-vk/conf.toml

8 - Open the lsfg-vk GUI config (from your system app menu) and create a profile with a simple name of your choice.

9 - In your game’s launch options, add this command:

LSFG_PROCESS=profilename %command%

Note: Currently, it doesn’t work with the Wine Wayland flag (PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 or DISPLAY=, which is used in Bottles).

I know this might be better for headphones subreddits. But these kinds of posts are mostly banned there.

My current headphones have disintegrating pads. And it doesn't look like I can find replacements for them even when searching by measurements. I'm trying to look for some along with a new controller. my budget for the headphones is about $40, I'd prefer 30 but I dont want to pay 60 if I dont have too.

Any suggestions? What are you guys using?

Hello, I've read that there are issues if you have multiple monitors with different refresh rates and are on wayland with an Nvidia GPU, is this still true? I'm thinking about switching but I'm not sure if it'll work or not. I have 3 monitors, 2 of them are 75hz and one is 165hz

I was curious as to how the game ran on Linux considering I haven't really seen many reports and scrubbing the ProtonDB page only shows it at a silver rating, so I gave it a go, especially since the Server Slam is free right now.

It runs surprisingly well! By default, it was on the Epic preset with FSR Balanced at 3440x1440 and I was getting around 65-75 FPS outdoors, around 90 fps indoors. Matching my settings in The Finals (medium preset with high shadows, epic textures, low RTGI, manual TSR at around 76% [don't hate me, it gives me more stable fps and is more visually stable at higher percentages than FSR]), I get 95 fps outdoors and around 130 fps indoors. This is on GE-Proton10-20 as I've noticed it gives me better lows than regular Proton on The Finals but YMMV.

I was fully expecting the game to not start at all but the only issue I've had so far is a single crash after opening my settings mid-match and I'm fairly certain that's not because of Proton itself and just the game being unstable since it doesn't fully release until the 30th.
