CarX Street - Steam input doesn't work - Linux Native version
I have a problem with the controller in the LINUX VERSION of the game ( CarX Street )
With steam input DISABLE the game detect the controller, the problem is that the steering joystick is too much sensible and is not really playable because any little movement do a huge turn with the car.
For fix that i ACTIVATE steam input and then... the game doesn't detect the controller anymore
Steam detect the controller perfectly, but the game doesn't.
Summary, in the LINUX VERSION of the game, steam input doesn't work
and that make the game unplayable for me.
also binded in the game ( automatically )
the PS4 controller through steam input look like \"Steam virtual Gamepad \"

gaming on linux for me is significantly worse than gaming on windows with full amd pc.
The title says it, games on linux just run a lot worse than on windows despite evidence online saying it should be the other way round. Games are under utilizing the gpu and fps is very inconsistent.
I've tried two distros so far, Bazzite and CatchyOS.
Bazzite was absolutely dog shit. It ran rdr2 absolutely horribly no matter what proton version or command I typed into the terminal that people from the discord server were telling me to do which eventually led to them saying it was usererror so i just had enough and removed bazzite from my pc.
CatchyOS on the other hand actually ran quite a bit better but still was no where near as good as windows. It was inconsistent and the gpu wasn't being fully utilized.
I eventually just came back to windows but I really want to find an os that runs games well or at least as good as windows.
My pc specs are a 5 5600 and a rx 7700 xt with 32 gb ram.
Any suggestions?

Is Gentoo viable for stable gaming?
I understand that any distro can do gaming and be stable. But is Gentoo’s stable branch without using ~amd64 or manual unmasking viable for new games on modern hardware? Can I use Steam + Discord + Google Chrome + KDE with new drivers on stable branch?
I would like to have access to new drivers and apps but without fixing gradually rising dependency errors during updates when using testing branch. I can fix most of such errors but I don’t want them. Is it possible?

Elite Dangerous does not recognize my joysticks under linux/proton
Hi,
I'm trying to get my VKB joysticks to run in E:D under Linux. I have deactivated "SDL" and "Map Controllers" in the registry, deleted the xinput and changed the individual devices to winehid and WINEBUS\WINE_COMP_HID.
as described at
https://www.reddit.com/user/xatrekak/comments/12hnz0d/fixing_vkb_and_virpil_hotas_running_on_linux/.
The individual joysticks are displayed under Steam, but E:D does not recognize a single one, not even an Xbox controller.
I use a fresh nobara installation, Steam and proton-GE (latest)
The joysticks work and I also had it running on a previous installation. What have I overlooked?

Setting WINEDLLOVERRIDE in Lutris
I'm having trouble setting WINEDLLOVERRIDE using lutris. I'm not sure if I have a misunderstanding of what lutris has the ability to set or if I'm just changing things in the wrong place.
To enable mods for one of my games, I'm told to set the following steam launch option: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw=n,b" %command% This works great if I just launch the game from steam. I can see the mod menu just fine.
In lutris, I would like to use the steam runner but nothing I'm trying is working. I've tried placing it under Game Options -> Arguments as "WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw=n,b" (and I've also tried including the %command% part to no avail). I've also tried the corresponding Launcher Options -> Arguments. Lastly I've tried to set it with System Options -> Environment Variables. Setting WINEDLLOVERRIDE as the key and ddraw=n,b as the value.
I've seen that using wine as the runner, I can configure the dll override directly. However, getting wine setup is giving me more issues and things launch nicely through steam with proton, so I would prefer not to switch runners. I can also set the option directly in steam and still launch the game from lutris with the command line option enabled.
Is there a correct way for me to set this launch option using the steam runner? Or, if that is that outside the scope of lutris, should I just be setting the launch option in steam directly?

Should I switch my gaming laptop from Windows 11 to Arch Linux?
I have a gaming laptop that is designed for Windows 11. • On Windows 11, I can’t run cracked games (even after disabling/removing Defender). • If I switch to Windows 10, performance and stability aren’t great since the hardware is optimized for 11.
Would switching to Arch Linux make sense for running games more freely? I know Linux gaming relies on Proton, Lutris, etc., but I’m not sure about performance and compatibility compared to Windows 11.
Any advice or real experience would help.

Best way to run Epic/GOG games with lsfg-vk (Lossless Scaling) on Steam?
Hey everyone, I don't know if I should post this here or on the steamdeck subredit but, anyway, I’ve been struggling with my Steam Deck for a few days and could use some help.
I installed lsfg-vk through Decky and it works fantastic with my Steam games. The problem is that I also have some games from Epic Store/GOG that I’d love to play with lsfg-vk, but I can’t get it to work.
Here’s an example that’s giving me trouble: I’m playing Death Stranding (Epic version) installed via Heroic Launcher.
Heroic itself was installed from Discover (so I assume it’s the Flatpak).
I used Heroic’s option to add a shortcut for Death Stranding to Steam.
In Steam, I tried adding ~/lsfg-vk %command% in the launch options, but that didn’t work.
I found another tutorial that suggested adding environment variables directly in Heroic and giving the Flatpak permission to read my home folder. I tried that, but now in Desktop Mode the game launches in a window and the controller acts like a keyboard, and lsfg-vk still doesn't work.
I also tried a wrapper script through Heroic’s launch options, but no luck either.
So my question is: what’s the easiest way to make this work?
Should I install Heroic as an AppImage instead of Flatpak?
Should I just install the Epic Store directly through Steam instead?
Or is there a simpler method I’m missing?
I just want my Epic/GOG games to have the same smooth framerate boost with lsfg-vk that my Steam library already has.
Thanks in advance!

Unable to play People Playground on Arch Linux
Hi there! Recently, I started using Arch Linux, and I've installed Steam from pacman. I installed People Playground (using Proton Experimental), but the game won't start. On Steam, I press play, wait for the game to start, and then after 5 seconds with no window or error code at all, the game closes. I have tried in the past GE-Proton 9-27, and that didn't work either. Does anyone know how to solve this? I've tried both game version 1.27.5 (latest public release build) and 1.28 alpha 2 and neither work. If anybody wants any specs of my computer, here they are:
Computer: HP Pavillion p6-2310
CPU: AMD A4-3420
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6410D
RAM: (even though it's not really relevant) 8 GB DDR3

Guilty Gear Strive freezing in command menu
Recently decided to try out Strive, and generally the experience is good, except I've had 3 freezes happen now, and they've all been while looking in the command menu for various characters. If I had to guess, I would think it's related to the videos that play showcasing the various moves.
This is on:
Fedora KDE 42
4070 Super (575.64.05 driver version)
9800x3D
GE-Proton10-10 (Also tried Proton Hotfix)

Sluggish Diablo 2 vanilla (project diablo 2)
⸻
Hi, I was happy to finally get all the games I play working on Linux, but I feel like Project Diablo 2 is lagging. Even Counter-Strike 1.6 seems a bit off. • Are there any settings I should tweak? • Or could this be because I have an NVIDIA Titan X (Maxwell) instead of an AMD GPU?
Games: • Project Diablo 2 (Wine, default install through Lutris) • CS 1.6 (Steam) • World of Warcraft 3.3.5 WotLK (Wine, default install through Lutris)
Specs: • Distro: Bazite 42 • CPU: Ryzen 5800X • GPU: Titan X (Maxwell)

Dual Boot and riot
I am getting a new pc and I am thinking of having arch linux but I learned that riot games arent really compatible with linux due to its anti cheat, which sucks as I would like to play 2XKO. Can I just simply just have dual boot to play it? To me it was an obvious yes but while snooping the subreddit I was starting to think otherwise. If I cant dual boot can I just run a VM to play it?

PSA anti-lag in games may cause amdgpu crashes.
I have 7900xtx,and I have been playing Marvel Rivals for a while, earlier today I decided to turn on Anti-lag, and I got 2 GPU crashes in less than an hour.
This is assuming you're using a recent enough mesa that supports that feature.

I haven't been on my pc in a long time but I was thinking of switching to Linux.
I have an Alienware Aurora R14 that I was thinking of wiping completely to switch to Linux. I haven't been on it in a couple months unfortunately, so it probably needs some security updates and a maybe a bios update.
Should I attempt to update my bios first if I decide to make the switch?

AMD upcoming driver?
As I am aware off AMD will with a future update automatically make FSR 3.1 games use FSR 4 instead of having them to update and then let the user toggle it by themselves. Does anyone know if it’s Windows only because of their adrenaline app or is it driver wide and will come to Linux as well?

Joystick not calibrating properly in Wine.
I have an older saitek cyborg joystick I am trying to get working so I can play dual joystick in StarCitizen through wine on fedora linux. However when it comes to calibrating my joystick, all goes well on the fedora side, using both jscal and jstest , my joystick deadzones are setup and working properly. In wine, I go to the game controller tab to check the DInput devices, under my saitek joystick, the device does not act like it has been calibrated properly. So how do I fix this issue so that my joystick works as currently even though it works in game, I cannot use it due to deadzone issues.
Joystick not properly configured when being detected by wine.
