I've been trying to get RE3 working on Linux with the HD/Seamless HD Project (SHDP) mod for over a month now, but no matter what I try, I always end up with the same result, which is the actual backgrounds/textures looking really small on the upper-left corner of the screen, as seen in these images:

Imgur.com

To get the game running on Linux, I use the following DLL overrides:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d9,d3dcompiler_47,ddraw,dinput8,dsound,libwebp,xaudio2_9"=n,b

(Those same overrides are the ones I use for RE2 and it works perfectly with Classic Rebirth and the HD mod. RE1 CR+SHDP does work too, although that one required some dgVoodoo2 intervention.)While RE3 does work with Classic Rebirth on its own, the HD mod causes that graphical issue on any Linux machine I tried, Steam Deck as well.

Has someone on the Linux Gaming sphere encountered something like this before?
Could I be missing some DLL as override or something else?

I tried screwing around with the DLLs, and found that dinpu8 is the one that seems to load the HD textures. According to some other modders, the issue could reside within the .ASI file itself.

I'm willing to test any plausible solutions to get this to work, since right now only RE3 is the only one that doesn't work with HD mods on Linux. RE1 & RE2 already work with Classic Rebirth and HD textures.

Does anyone know how to fix the err_gfx_state error. I tried deleting the sga files and putting -ignorepipelinecache in launch arguments in rockstar games launcher, like suggested when dealing with this issue, but it did not fix it.

I am playing using lutris and i own the rockstar games launcher version.

Like all Linux gamers I've benefitted massively from Valve's development into the Linux ecosystem these past few years and Linux gaming is now almost at parity with Windows gaming. It's really quite astonishing the speed at which it's happened.

However recently I begun questioning my love of Valve. It feels a bit irrational that I've swapped almost all my proprietary software to FOSS but refuse to uninstall Steam. Surely at least GOG should be my go-to for buying games, since I at least can keep an offline installer of my games rather being a perpetual "Steam subscriber" who doesn't truly own anything. I shouldn't be this much of a fanboy about any company.

Coming across this video from The Hated One recently however I've learned part of why the PC gaming landscape is the way it is - Valve is engaging in anti-competitive activity to keep it this way. The content and pricing of games on other stores could be better, but Valve won't allow publishers to offer better pricing or content on other stores. And thus by blocking competition they retain a monopoly and keep their prices high, and this results in a worse situation for all consumers.

The video goes into the lawsuits and the multiple emails from Valve employees which are used as evidence and it looks pretty damning. It's a real shame Valve is being greedy rather than fairly competing on a level playing field.

I've finally managed to get HDR working in Fedora 40 KDE, and here's my method.

I'm using Heroic Launcher, as I have some GOG Games and others that optained through the seas. here's my attempt and workarounds to some problems you may get stumble upon.

Requirements:

• UP-to-Date Kernel, especially if you are using an AMD GPU.
• WINE. sudo dnf install wine
• gamescope. sudo dnf install gamescope
• Heroic Games from here.

Steps to Game:

First thing to do in Heroic Games is download Wine-GE or Proton-GE from Wine manager tab at your left.

Wine Manager Tab

Then you add a game, like Ghost of Tsushima in Library from the ADD Game. Make sure Wine version is using the Proton/Wine-GE you just downloaded, not the default wine, otherwise the game will not work.

After that, you'll go to the settings of the game in the launcher. go to GAMESCOPE tab and do the following:

• Enable Upscaling even if you don't need to use it and add your desired resolutions in the game and upscale widths and heights. this will trigger gamescope to run (I believe this is a bug in the launcher during the writing of this post)
• In the additional options at the bottom, type the following:

​

--hdr-enabled --force-grab-cursor

The first argument enables HDR.

The second argument is there because in Wayland, the game will launch in a Wayland window, if you are playing in mouse and keyboard (like I do), your cursor might go to the edge of the screen and won't be able to move your camera, this is more annoying if you are a multi-monitor user.

Gamescope Options

Hope this helps any one struggling.

Just got Bazzite up and running and have my living room console set up but the Bluetooth/WiFi dongle I was using isn't working. Of course I waited until after to read the "Doesn't work with Linux" line on the box.

Is there any dongles people could recommend? Can give or take WiFi but need Bluetooth because I use DualSense controllers.

Living room is a relatively big space (not sure of exact measurements) so needs to be a decent enough dongle.

My PC: B650 mobo, 7700x CPU and 6700XT GPU on Garuda KDE.

I run the game at 1440p, high settings and no FSR (I find FSR makes the game too blurry despite sharpness set to 100%) through Lutris. The game runs pretty smooth as is, but I encounter spots where the FPS drops tremendously and then suddenly recovers. I've tried different runners and haven't seen any improvements, currently using GE-Proton.

Anything else I should try to improve performance? TIA!

I've tried running subnautica and a plague take requiem as a big performance requirement gap. Subnautica runs gracefully without a stutter or issue until it just randomly closes from a crash, and it never crashes afk on the menu screen. No common cause, it just kinda says "aight imma crash now". Plague tale requiem on the other hand smoothly opens up until it freezes on the auto save icon before the menu, and just freezes. I hear the menu music and sounds, but it isn't displaying anything for it. Once I launched and it managed to get to the menu just fine, but as soon as I clicked into the game saves it crashed instantly and closed. endeavourOS/arch GPU: 6700 XT CPU: 7600X RAM: 32gb DDR5 6000 M.2 1tb nvme drive Please help I'm confused.

Hello. I have a 3600X, a 5700XT and 32 GBs of RAM. I am using Arch linux, kernel 6.10.12-hardened1-1-hardened, mesa 24.2.5-1, amdvlk 2024.Q3.3-1. I am using the Wayland variant of Plasma for my DE. I tried Proton Experimental, 9.0 and 3.16, launch options of
PROTON_USE_EAC_LINUX=1 mangohud gamemoderun %command%
which just makes the game not launch at all, and
PROTON_USE_EAC_LINUX=1
which simple seems to be doing nothing at all.
There appears to be a wine pop-up window of an EAC installer that is fully black and disappears rather quickly. Any suggestions what to try next?

Edit: As per the title, I am assuming that this has to do with the anticheat installer not running properly. I tried running it standalone through wine and the winetricks gui thing however the former cried about lack of libgnutils (that is a lie, I have the gnutls package) and some other errors appear. Through winetricks gui, the installer fails with the following error appearing in the terminal
013c:err:winediag:gnutls_process_attach failed to load libgnutls, no support for encryption
013c:err:winediag:process_attach failed to load libgnutls, no support for pfx import/export
013c:fixme:kernelbase:AppPolicyGetProcessTerminationMethod FFFFFFFA, 005EFEB8

So for example the Witcher 3 has two versions for Directx11 and 12

What difference does it make for Linux? Is it positive?

Should one be excited for Directx 12 games on Linuz or not?

Would it be fair to say the Directx12 version is better?
