It's basically unplayable for me at this point from both x11 and wayland. Any chance someone has a solution? I played this game for a little part before this and it was identical to its windows counterpart but never tried Lostwing on windows, is is the same both ways?

I posted earlier this week about audio problems. I did eventually get the audio out over HDMI to the TV. I rebooted and it still worked. But today it is back to not working, updating, rebooting and trying the same settings didn't fix it. This is a CachyOS on an AMD laptop. Oddly I have similar problems on my steam deck. Audio will work fine sometimes and then won't work at all a good portion of the time over HDMI. Any ideas? Usually this is to an LG OLED TV.

With Windows 10 hitting EOL I am strongly considering of going back to Linux (after a long, on again off again relation). However seeing a few benchmarks for Nvidia I am really concerned seeing a double digit performance drop. I am running a 3070 and on Windows it does struggle sometimes with some of my games (for example modded Cyberpunk 2077 on 1440p with RT&DLSS for example) I understand its very specific for Nvidia and their driver support in Linux and it isn't really a problem in AMD graphics cards but I am not ready to buy a new GPU just for the move.

I was wondering are these unsolvable issues or are they somehow solvable with some tweaking of DXVK? is moving to the closed driver support going to help anyway?

Hi there! Detailed PC info first: https://pastebin.com/2FdML6qs (ran ujust device-info command from bazzite, really handy)

Symptoms: When running Riven Remake under GEProton9-7 (the only version I got to run without random crashes, IDK the reason to be honest) Wayland access to other apps is broken.

For those who don't know, this is a puzzle game where you're expected to take notes, so I wanted to do screenshots and paste them on an online whiteboard. Bazzite (actually KDE Plasma) included tool is Spectacle, which I configured to select a region when pressing Meta+Shift+PtScr and then copy it to my clipboard.

However, when I press that, the app opens and crashes. This is the log from journalctl: https://pastebin.com/ZtKYuxnx

Mozilla Firefox also crashes with a lot of "connecting to compositor" lines (it's fixed when game is closed), Steam UI gets stuck and I need to restart it... My system gets weird.

Do anyone know anything about this behavior or what could be causing it? Maybe it's Unreal Engine related? Other games do not show this problem, but I've yet to try more UE games tbh.

A1RM4X, French Canadian Youtuber, shows that Bazzite is install counting in one of his youtube videos. Video link ==> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zkUrdQATSI

Install counting is a form of spyware activity. No distro maintainer, corporate entity, or government entity needs to know the number of active installs that are out in the field. None of them need this information. If there is any type of spyware/data collection happening in Linux, on the desktop, then the user may as well just run Win 10/11.

The Fedora managment team held a large discussion, last yeat, on the idea of how to implement extensive and robust telemetry integration into the distro. Install counting would be one of the telemetry data collection points. Corporations and some greedy distro maintainers (ex: Canonical) want access to your activity data. They want to know things like: * what apps you install * what apps you run and how often you run those apps * the uptime of your install * what apps you uninstall * what apps you install but rarely run * PC stats (RAM, CPU, GPU, disks, storage amount used, storage amount free, etc) * security details * how long since your last update * how long since your last upgrade

The list is very long. Last year someone at Fedora wrote up a telemetry data collection proposal explaining what they wanted to do (data collection, spying) and why they wanted to do it. This prompted the discussion because the Fedora management team were seriously considering the proposal. Fedora backed away from the telemetry project because the Fedora user community balked and vigorously pushed back against the proposal. Let's be clear, there is a difference between repo servers counting the number of connections per hour/day/week/month/year that are engaging in grabbing updates. The counting is happening at the repo. servers. This is different from determining if an install is active, by some criteria, and then tracking a count of active installs. There must be a unique ID per install in order to have an accurate install count.

Why is the install counting bad and why does it matter?

Fast forward through the last 8 months. There has a concerted effort to grow the user base of Bazzite (CachyOS and Chimera OS as well). The video shows a 5x increase in active installs. The effort to promote Bazzite is on reddit, youtube, twitch, discord, and other social media platforms. Bazzite is based on Fedora. Bazzite install counting is a way to get around the community saying "NO!" to Fedora management and since Bazzite is a separate entity the Fedora management don't have to deal with blow back. Once an entity gets a community to accept a small amount of telemetry data collection, the entity will then grow and expand the amount of telemetry data gathering. Telemetry data gathering is like crack. It is dependency inducing. Once one entity gets away with implementing telemetry other entities will copy and implement telemetry. This is the "me too... I can do it too" effect. In a handful of years there will be various forms and amounts of data gathering and it will be way too late to stop it. Every distro maintainer that wants to do data collection always says that it is for harmless reasons, no personally identifiable data will be collected, and that it is not to make a profit. Money is the root of the data collection. If M$ or Elon Musk offers your favorite distro a few million $$$ US for data collected, does you really think that they are going to turn it down? Most won't turn down the money.

Lastly, look at who Bazzite is promoted towards: newbie Linux gamers coming from Windows, who don't have a clue about how Linux works, and has no idea that the distro is involved in data collection through install counting.

I don't recommend Bazzite or any other specialty distros to newbies unless it is needed to address a hardware issue. I recommend the tried and true newbie friendly distros such as Linux Mint, Pop_OS, and Tuxedo OS. I wrote a guide for newbie Linux users/gamers that makes the recommendations above and explains why. Guide link ==> https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/189rian/newbies_looking_for_distro_advice_andor_gaming/

Please steer newbies toward safe starting distros that are not going to take advantage of their ignorance. Many of them are coming to Linux from Windows to get away from data collection schemes.

For those who like Bazzite, CachyOS, Chimera OS, PikaOS and the other specialty and gaming focus distros., you should continue to enjoy it. No one is saying that you can't enjoy it. If you've read this post and watched the video, then using/enjoying the specialty and gaming focused distros would be based on an informed decision. Just please don't promote/recommend those distros, especially Bazzite, to newbies without warning them. You can point them to this thread which will make it super easy to educate them.

Hi,

This is going to be a very extreme edge case; I use Fedora 41, and back on Windows (before I moved) I would use Lossless Scaling to force 60FPS+ on an old 2004 MMO (Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst). This game is old, it does not have DLSS, DLSS cannot be modded in, there is no DLSS. So I used Lossless scaling to add interpolation to this and it worked well. When I migrated to Linux, while I could still install and setup PSOBB, it would be capped to the original FPS without this program.

Is there anyway to get the same result on Linux? While I can setup PSOBB with wine via Lutris and all that fun stuff, I want my 60FPS+ PSOBB on Linux before I go back to PSO, and I refuse to go back to Windows.

Can anyone help provide an alternative that actually works with this 2004 game? Obviously running a VM isnt viable, even for this old video game. Tried that, performance is terrible. I dont want to dual boot either.

EDIT: Typos.

I'm running GTA V Legacy on an older system using Heroic Game Launcher, and it's working quite well at a lower resolution (1366x768). However, after a while—sometimes after more than 3 hours—the game either stops rendering textures before freezing, or it just freezes out of nowhere.

I initially thought it might be a VRAM issue, but the game consistently uses less than my GPU's available VRAM. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

CPU: I5 3470

GPU: RX 550 4GB

Ram: 8GB

Hi guys, just switched to Linux (6.14.6 arch) and trying to set up Steam.

I was under the impression that from version 5.something of the kernel Pro Controller's drivers became native and pairing was gonna be automatic but apparently I'm having problems.

Trying to connect it via bluetooth it gets detected, I can pair it, for a second it even connects but it immediately disconnects. Of course Steam doesn't even see it. Even with USB Steam can't detect it. (Steam input rules are all there, bluez is up to date).

Is there something I should do that I don't know?

Hello. Previously I used Mumble on Win11 to talk to friends. On windows, Mumble automatically lowers system's volume when someone talks in voice chat. Does Discord on Linux can do the same?

Hi, I am trying to run Hell Let Loose on Arch Linux, then game launches fine but it is already quite slow compared to windows, then when I try to join a server it loads the map for ~5 minutes and I get the messsage "Lost connect to host". Does anyone else experience this as well or have any potential fixes? It is on a RTX 3060 and I have tried multiple Proton versions.

I can get as far as the screenshot attached here, and then the app freezes. I have to use xkill on it to close it. I played multiple hours two nights ago, and starting last night, for seemingly no reason, the game cannot successfully log in.

I have tried EVERY suggestion here: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/d4/t/game-always-freezes-on-logging-into-diablo-4-screen-tried-everything/206596/124

None of it made any difference.

I'm in Kubuntu 25.04 with an all-AMD system.

I have also tried:

• uninstalling/reinstall
• switching Wine/Proton versions
• Moving install locations
• Installing with both Lutris and Heroic
• Rebooting my computer
• Rebooting my router
• Rebooting my modem
• booting into Linux 6.11 instead of 6.14

Issue seems isolated to BattleNet. I can play other games on the system (Steam games), but I tried downloading Diablo Immortal through BattleNet, just for a sanity check, and that game crashes at login too. It's like BattleNet needs some kind of firewall exception or network connectivity that Proton isn't giving it. Yet, I can log into my account just fine, and I can download/install games from my library just fine. I don't get it.

A cross-post from r/Lutris

Hello!

I know that this issue appears from time to time and there are various topics going back up to 7 years ago. However, I got it only after I've recently upgraded to Fedora 42 (although, I'm not sure if the system upgrade was the cause).

Basically, I can start Battle.net client through Lutris, and install WarCraft, but when I start it, I get a black scree after the loading screen (sound is present, though).

Has anyone encountered this issue recently? Have you been able to find a fix by any chance?

Here's what I've tried so far:

• Different runner versions. The issue persists with Wine 9.22, 10.4, 10.7-staging-tkg. Battle.net itself cannot start with some older versions of Wine; Proton 10.1 doesn't let me pass the loading screen, and Battle.net itself doesn't work with older versions of Proton.
• Toggle settings like ESync and FreeSync without success
• Tried to install it using Bottles with the same result.
• Tried to add flags to the game settings as suggested here and here. Neither of those options helps.
• Logs do not provide much useful information either

My system is Fedora Linux 42, Kernel: 6.14.6-300.fc42.x86_64, AMD GPU (I've checked that the drivers are up-to-date).

I would appreciate any help with this issue. Thanks a lot!

For the time when i bought it was great - was running gta 5, cuberpunk, cs go, fortnite

With time got slower, and now when i play cs game freezes , cant even play marvel rivals, pc feels slows and slugish

So ive read that mega old poatoto laptops have been revived using linux

I booted up Rebirth recently on Windows and forgot how stuttery it was even after it generates shaders, it got me wondering does Linux fix the stutter issue like it does with FF7 Remake or do the stutters persist no matter what?

I downloaded CSS from steam, and at first after downloading, it showed me the play button and after i clicked it, it showed me it ways running, but it didn't open a new window or anything, it just showed running and then it automatically stops it. I have tried with steam play too but still the same issue. Doesn't show me any error or any syntax tho, that's the weird part. I use a AMD Radeon gpu, so I don't use nvidia and I know about nvideas support with linux. I use arch(btw), if that helps and if the problem is specific to arch

Been playing this game for a few months successfully using Proton 9. After the update a few days ago, it's just crashing. Anyone figured out how to run the newest version?

I've tried the latest Proton Experimental as well.

The launcher launches, but when I press play, the window gets created, and after a few seconds, it just crashes without any errors.
