Im almost glued stuck to Windows gaming. But have DualBoot. Help appreciated

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24 Jun 2025 - 12:38pm

Hi linux people.

Im a 24 year old Gamer. I own a ton of games on steam 45 plus. But somehow keep booting into windows because I keep going to fortnite. Even tho I bought a console just for Fortnite, I keep raching to my pc to play it.

Secondly, I do have a BAZZITE dualboot. That bazzite install is all I have on a 1tb ssd. And theres 4TB I can only access via windows. Another reason I'm scared to make a switch are things I heard like crashes and bugs in many games. Because I do have an Nvidia + AMD setup. A 4070 Ti Super and a 7800x3D. So pretty good and thus higher than midrange but lower than flagship.

What can I do? I want to make the switch. But it feels like windows glued me stuck. I also have AuDHD (Autism and ADHD mix, maybe that has something to do with familiarity).

Help appreciated

The criminally overlooked turn-based roguelike shoot-em-up Glass Cannon just got a lot bigger

Gaming on Linux - 24 Jun 2025 - 12:33pm
It should be criminal for a game as good as Glass Cannon to see so few players and Steam reviews, because it's simply awesome.

Please help me validate my game's Linux build on Steam

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24 Jun 2025 - 10:51am

Hi there,

Yesterday, I finally got around to using Valve's container runtime environment (sniper) to wrap my game for use on Steam. I initially had the game on Steam as a naked build (no runtime wrapper) but that was stupid and had all kinds of problems (it was easy to depend on a library that was only available on my machine).

I think the sniper build works solidly but I'd love for people to test it out.

Please note:

  1. This is a playtest - not a final game. I'm of course always looking for feedback on everything about the game but this is primarily a "does it even run?" situation.
  2. The game is barely optimized at this point but it should run smoothly neverless. If it does lag, please let me know.
  3. The game is meant for desktop/laptop play (mouse+keyboard). This is not a SteamDeck game, unfortunately (though it might run there, idk).

P.S.: I also want to release on itch.io at some point but I don't know how people prefer their Linux games there (if itch is even a popular option for Linux gaming?). I can of course provide the naked build but I fear that it'll just crash on many machines (like the prior Steam builds did).

P.P.S.: I'm not using a popular game engine like Godot or Unity or Unreal. On one hand, this is great & by design because my game has a unique set of requirements. On the other hand, I don't get some of the table stakes feature that other games get. Please be gentle.

Switching to AMD from Nvidia video card

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24 Jun 2025 - 9:40am

Hello,

My HTPC has a GTX2070 and I will switch to a 9070XT in a few days.

The os is Bazzite with the bazzite-deck-nvidia image.

Will I HAVE TO reinstall OS from scratch ? And if not, SHOULD I reinstall from scratch ?

Thanks !

Fallout 4 crashing on launch with Limo

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24 Jun 2025 - 6:37am

Hello all,

I can't seem to get Fallout to launch properly with script extender while using Limo as my mod manager. I tried installing it like wiki suggests (granted this is SkyrimSE but theoretically same rules should apply to F04), tried running from steam directly using this command, bash -c 'exec "${@/Fallout4.exe/Fallout4/f4se_loader.exe}"' , borrowed from a similar command i used for Oblivion remastered and its script extender. I even tried adding f4se_loader.exe as a non-steam game. all the same result, ill see a black window pop up, go to full screen, then crashes. All of this was tried using last gen f4se and downgraded FO4. I had Address Library and BASS installed via limo and made sure they were deployed. Help is appreciated.

Help getting a game run

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24 Jun 2025 - 6:10am

Hi everybody! I got a problem and don't know how to overcome it. I have recently installed Star Wars Battlefront II through Steam and can't get it run properly.

Previous experience: I first used LMDE 6 and, last week, changed to Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.1. In LMDE, i also installed the game and got an issue (it didn't even start at all then), BUT got to play Jedi Fallen Order with any problem.

As far as I've researched, the problem arise from EA App, which runs through Steam in the way I installed the game. I tried installing EA App through Lutris and run it from there, then search for game files; it didn't work. At least, Steam's EA recognize that the game is installed.

Do you have any idea of what can I do?

Some useful information:

_ NVidia drivers: 570.133.07

_ Proton versions that make the EA App launch for me: Experimental and GE 10-4

_ I have Steam installed in my main SSD and the games are stored in another SSD.

Any other information you need, tell me and I'll provide it.

Thanks beforehand for your answers!

Flickering Cursor in games using Proton

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24 Jun 2025 - 5:59am

Hey all, I recently made the switch to Linux and so far so good. However, I am having a really weird issue with both Diablo 2 resurrected and Titan Quest running in proton where the cursor flickers like mad when using a controller. I have tried different proton settings, tried different graphics drivers and I can't seem to fix this. Any insight from more knowledgeable people would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone gotten the mod "Reality Redemption" to successfully install for RDR1? I swear I got it to work months ago back when it was an earlier version.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24 Jun 2025 - 5:39am

Here's the link to the mod in case people don't know what the hell I'm talking about: https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption/mods/219

So anyway, I've been trying to get the mod to work, but the installer just says that it can't find the game files. The installer is a bat file, which I was under the impression worked with Wine for the most part. The bat file does start up if you run it in a Windows CMD with Wine, but even if the files are put where they're supposed to, it complains that it can't find the game files.

The odd thing is that I swear I got the mod to install on Linux a few months ago when it was version 2.8 (at least I think it was 2.8) but now that it's 3.0, it just refuses to find the game files.

I've looked into ways to translate the bat file into an sh file, but I am not a coder, so that is WAY beyond what I know how to do.

I highly doubt anyone will know how to help, but this is the only place I could think to ask, so I figured I might as well try my luck.

Thank you so much to anyone who even attempts to help me.

PS: I don't know if the "wine/proton" tag is right for this, but I really didn't want to use the "tech support wanted" tag, as I feel that should be reserved for things WAY more serious than this.

Power reporting fixed with AMD 9000 gpus?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24 Jun 2025 - 3:43am

I own a 7900xt and iv always dealt with the fact that linux reports power differently for these cards compared to windows. Looking at benchmarks of the new 9070/9070xt i see that power is being reported the same. So its been fixed? any plans for RDNA3 or are we just the odd ducks with weird power reporting? My limit after unlocking lact is 333w (TDP) on a 7900xt and 290w before that. On windows with my cards +15 % power limit i can hit 390w (TBP). But performance ends up the same or better on Linux so i know its not under powered.

Textures Issues with Ender Lilies in Fedora 42 (Steam)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24 Jun 2025 - 2:44am

Hey there. My english is not the best so I apologise for that. I want to ask to you your help. I'm trying to play Ender Lilies (Steam Version) on My Fedora 42 machine. But the textures are not rendering propertly. If i run the game without any config launch command, it doesn't show the environment and only show the shadows of the characters. I tried to use

PROTON_USE_WINE3D=1,

and it almost fixed, but it doesn't show the rain at the start screen, and also the characters textures doesn't show properly, they look like in the image. Someone else got this issue? Any recommendations to fix it? For reference, my computer has an Intel i5 12gen and a Intel Iris Graphics integrated card. Thanks for you time :3
