So I recently moved to linux and I'm trying to run SWBFII on Heroic, since I have a copy on Epic Games.
Using Wine Default (wine-10.4 (staging)), I can manage to open EA launcher and download the game, but after completing the download, I get an error launching the game. If I close both launchers (EA and Heroic) and try again, then I can't even open EA anymore. I've tried deleting everything and selecting Proton Experimental, but then I can't even open the launcher.
Has anyone managed to get the game running on Heroic or maybe Lutris? What steps should I follow?

Some more details:
OS: Fedora Linux 42 KDE Edition
Kernel: Kernel: Linux 6.15.5-200.fc42.x86_64
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X (16) @ 5.58 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT

What makes a game Linux native or compatible?

How should a new game be developed to ensure it will work natively on Linux and/or playable on the Steamdeck?

Conversely, what makes a game incompatible/unplayable on Linux?

I can't launch the game after downloading it. Each time the Unity interface in the image pops up, it starts to crash.(From Google Translate, please forgive me if it's not accurate)

Hi, and today I am looking at RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business. It is a standalone game that follows the Rogue City that was released in 2023. Why a new game and not a DLC is a bit weird to me, but it is still at a good price and as of 19 July 2025, you can buy the bundle for a really good deal.

That said if you enjoyed the previous one, you will enjoy this one too. The biggest complaint I have seen is that it is more of the same. To be honest, I like that it is more of the same since Rogue City was a no frills shooter. You just go in and kill everything.

The game looks good and runs great, dare I say it runs better than the first one in my opinion, although quite a number of things has changed since I ran the first game, like kernel, drivers etc. I tested it against Windows 10 as usual and the gap was not that big, but on Linux it was a better experience with higher FPS and smoother frametimes. It think the difference comes in that on Linux my CPU and GPU is utilised better, as can be seen on the GPU Core Clock and CPU/GPU load being more stable. On Windows it fluctuates more and that can lead to minor FPS/frametime dips.

On Linux I tested with all the normal goodies enabled like falcond, ntsync and wine-wayland. I didnot test to see if there is a difference with these disabled, as they are slowly becoming the norm if your distro and Proton supports them.

When I launch the game on Windows, I get the option to select FSR 4 in the launcher as well as in-game. Howerver, on Linux, I can only select up to FSR 3.1.3?

Is there a way (native or with mods) to get FSR 4 working with this game on Linux?

Hi, I recently shifted to Linux. Truth is my system is pretty old (6 years) and I mostly used it for dev work along with light gaming. As linux is anyway a good system to pursue dev, and with the versions being able to support gaming without much of a hassle, it felt like the natural shift. I previously tried fedora but setting it up was quite the challenge and I soon gave up. So I shifted to Ubuntu as I have experience using Ubuntu on my laptop (please no distro wars, I believe all distros are great and tailored to different individuals with different needs).

Anyway, coming to the point, I have a Behringer UMC-22 to which I have plugged in a XLR microphone. However, the microphone audio is really faint and is hardly picked up by applications like Discord. I found a makeshift work around where I am using EasyEffects to play around the gain of my microphone along with noise suppression to create a virtual mic. But is there any other way which helps me use the mic as it is. Down the line I want to use Reaper and stuff as I am into music as well. (I have not plugged in my electric guitar yet, so I don't know what challenges lie there).

Also sorry if this post is not relevant to the community. I thought it might be as a microphone setup is both necessary both both gaming and streaming. Sorry once again.

Just got through getting my Logitech G Pro Racing wheel working on Linux Mint 22.1 running kernel 6.11.0-29-generic. Figured I'd write up how it should go to make it easier for others.

Now to start with, the wheel comes in 3 variants. PC only, Xbox/PC and PS5/PC. Mine is the PC only version.

Pre-install steps

1. Connect the wheel to your machine.
2. In a terminal, run lsusb which will present you with a list of devices connected.
3. Mine shows ID 046d:c272.
   
   • If it's the same, you're good, move to install.
4. As yours is different, reach out to: https://github.com/JacKeTUs/hid-logitech-hidpp and let them know the what version of the wheel you have, and what id (or submit a merge request if you've got the chops).

Install the driver

1. Install the hid-logitech-hidpp driver from here: https://github.com/Lawstorant/hid-logitech-hidpp. To install:

   Dependencies: Git, DKMS, Initramfs or Dracut works too

   1. Install dkms package from your distro package manager
   2. Clone repository to /usr/src/universal-pidff
   3. Install the module: sudo dkms install /usr/src/universal-pidff
   4. Update initramfs: sudo update-initramfs -u
   5. Reboot

   I had dracut instead of initramfs, so instead of step 4, I used sudo dracut force

Check the wheel is using the right driver

1. Connect your wheel if it wasn't already.
2. To confirm that the driver's working use dmesg | grep logitech-hidpp-device which should show that it's connecting the device, especially look for "Force feedback support loaded"

Getting force feedback games working

Now once you've got that going, some games may work, some games won't.

Wreckfest worked out of the box, Forza Horizon 5 not so much.

When running Forza, it'd throw spam about too many force feedback events in queue. Force feedback wouldn't do anything for quite a while, and then it'd act like it should've in the game.

Now to troubleshoot this, you'll want:

https://github.com/berarma/ffbtools. Familiarise yourself with the ./docs/ and the options for ffbwrap.

Steps:

1. A terminal window with dmesg -w running in it. It'll show something like

   logitech-hidpp-device 0003:046D:C272.0011: Force feedback command queue contains 3260 commands, causing substantial delays!

   This will probably be rapidly increasing.

2. For steam games, I'm using the following syntax in Properties>General>Launch Options <path to cloned repo>/ffbtools/bin/ffbwrap --throttling --throttling-time 15 /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_PRO_Racing_Wheel_<your serial number>-event-joystick -- %command%

3. Now the --throttling-time 15 is what worked for me, but test as much as your care to for getting it as low as possible.

I hope this saves others some time!

Hiya!
So i would like to switch completely to Linux in the nearest future - i use Kubuntu for everything except playing modded Skyrim, I'm using MO2 and have a quite a lot of mods installed, could you point me in the right direction?
Would it be a matter of installing Skyrim and using WINE and copying the portable instance of MO2?
Or should i switch to a different mod loader? Is there a better solution? How is modded Skyrim on Linux? Is it stable enough to make the switch worthwhile?
Any help is appreciated!

Hi, I know that sharing game disks between Linux and Windows dont go well together, but what about two different distros? Right now I dual boot Bazzite with Windows, but haven’t used Windows within last half a year, so I’d just wipe it out and give CachyOS a try. Do I need to configure anything to share disks flawlessly between these two? I have Bazzite on SSD SATA, Windows on different SSD SATA (where I’d put CachyOS), and two seperate NVMe for games (one for Lutris, one just for Steam). Did anyone notice any hiccups with dual booting like that?

I have tried for the last 5 days to mod Skyrim VR on my Steam Deck but Vortex sucks so much man. I install it and sym link myself, it lags and crashes and I'm pretty sure it doesn't work , I used Pikdums set up and switched the sym links manually, same thing. So I try to follow this guide and use Steamtinker launch, and it refuses to download and install Vortex, it won't even install ModLoader, because apparently it just has to have some bug apparently preventing it from being able to download Dotnet 6 or something, so I said screw it and manually installed skse vr and it just crashes on a black screen and I just.... I'm tired boss. Have any of you succeeded in getting this thing to work through skse vr?

A few weeks ago, I noticed that Wuthering Waves seems to support Linux out of the box. I installed it via Steam and am using the latest version of GE-Proton.

Device: Arch Linux ( hyprland) , 1650 GTX Nvidia and 8GB RAM

The game launches without any issues, but I’m stuck on this screen where nothing happens. When I click “Exit” or “Login,” nothing responds.

Methods I’ve tried:

• Ran it with STEAMDECK=1 %command% — same result.
• Toggled Game Mode on and off — no change.

I’m unable to identify the issue. Can someone please help me out?

So the Black Mesa RTX Remix has been released. I've followed the instructions here:

https://github.com/xoxor4d/remix-comp-projects/releases/tag/1.0-BlackMesa

I'm launching the game under Steam, using Proton Experimental - I've essentially added run-bms-rtx.bat as a non Steam game. However when I try to launch the game, the following happens:

https://preview.redd.it/e1cv22v8frdf1.png?width=1190&format=png&auto=webp&s=6de5887184d524aadb4a90228c87bec92570b027

I'm really keen to play this game, it looks fantastic. Anyone got any ideas? I've already tried adding the launch option:

WINE_DISABLE_HARDWARE_SCHEDULING=1

Sadly it didn't help.

I installed Envision to see if it would indeed help me with things like ghosting in a few VR games, but the software doesn't seem to be casting anything to my headset. It says it detects my Index, but the headset never turns on and it also won't detect my controllers. If I try to launch a VR game, it gets pulled up on a regular window on my desktop. Also, is there supposed to be some indication for when the calibration has started/finished? Cause I click the button and seemingly nothing happens.
