Help with vr stuttering/flicking weird issue (Valve Index)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 Sep 2025 - 10:04pm

I am at my wits end trying to fix this issue, and I haven't seen anyone else with this same issue I have. It's hard to describe but it's like, the fps is good, however the display seems like it's almost losing track of where stuff is in vr so it flickers all over the place and tries to re-center it, but the tracking seems fine for the controllers and full body, and it only flickers everywhere when it's a little bit laggy or maybe certain shaders? It flicks everywhere on any game, it does it on the vr home screen, vrchat, half life, every single game.

I'm using CatchyOS, everything is up to date, Ryzen 7 3700X cpu, RX 7800 XT gpu, 16gb ram, I've tried using CoreCtrl and following guides and reinstalling everything, but nothing works. I did have some lag issues when I was on windows but nothing near this bad, I just recently switch to Catchy maybe a month ago so I'm a bit new to linux.

Need help figuring out controllers

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 Sep 2025 - 9:06pm

Hi everyone. I'm using a generic no brand controller that was working fine on Windows. On both Nobara and Fedora, the controller is recognised by the system, but doesn't function fully. Half the keys aren't recognized by the game and the in game protagonist is defaulted to looking upwards, while in motion. I've updated my system and it's drivers, and installed packages mentioned on Linux forums to no avail. Please help me figure this out! Thank you.

Can't launch any steam unity game.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 Sep 2025 - 8:35pm

i have every driver installed (470.256.02) and when launching a game it says "ld.so: object 'gameoverlayrenderer.so' cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class)" or something like that, also i already tested if the drivers are working and they are. Don't get mad if i don't understand something, i'm new to linux and still learning.

WASD doesn't work and all fixes don't help

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 Sep 2025 - 7:58pm

I'm trying to play some games via proton, and none of them can see the wasd or any other letter input(ctrl, shift, space works fine) exept CS2 which works fine. Days gone doesn't react to any letters, when i tried remapping controls ingame it just didn't see anything, when i tried remapping them in minecraft it started working but settings were remapped to some BS like "F22" or "scancode:j1nd9crblablabla". I use US layout, and it doesn't affect anything. System itself doesn't have any issue with keyboard, everything is mapped correctly etc.

Here are fixes that i tried and they didn't work:
-Trying any layout incl. en-US
-Manually remapping key inputs
-Troubleshooting outside game: input register in terminal sees all presses and releases correctly, remapper also didn't see any issue or "F22"
-Different protons like GE, 9, Hotfix, Experimental, linux runtime, wine, anything
-Changing/disabling/increasing key repeat rate and similar
-Enabling/disabling Steaminput
- Inserting commands to use another session, another input, basically everything chatGPT offered me

And the biggest mystery is why CS2 works and literally nothing else...

Leaning towards Nobara, good for running virtual machines as well?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 Sep 2025 - 6:53pm

When W10 kicks the bucket, I'm leaning towards going full Linux as I mainly play single player games now.

I'm thinking about going to Nobara. I work from home at times and I do my work in a virtual machine to keep things separate. Does it handle virtualization well or should I look at a different distro? Was thinking possibly CachyOS as well could be a good option for that work/gaming balance.

Quake 4 / Doom 3: No input -- stuck in menu

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 Sep 2025 - 6:34pm

Hello,

Bought Quake 4 the other day. It launches fine and the opening splash screens play. I can press escape to skip them. However, once I get to the menu, there's no response from the keyboard or mouse at all, and no mouse pointer. It's not locked up -- the music & menu animations still play, and it exits cleanly with Alt+F4 (don't have to force quit or anything).

Noticing it was using the Doom 3 engine, I decided to test that as well, and it has the exact same issue. I've played Doom 3 within the past year on same hardware & distro, so this is somewhat recent.

The only thing I've seen to try is disabling Steam Input & the overlay, but had no effect. I don't have any joysticks connected anyway.

I'm on KDE Neon (which is latest Ubuntu LTS with latest KDE on top).

Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks for reading!
