Tekken 8 Disk Write Error when updates are pushed, no other game does this.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11 Mar 2025 - 6:18am

https://preview.redd.it/ubdq4zlauzne1.png?width=1269&format=png&auto=webp&s=2ea93e81682574326c75e92d44c581327508e7ea

For some reason, and its been this way since the game came out, every other time an update happens, my computer will start downloading the update, and then get stuck between halfway and 90% done.
Verifying files, clearing download cache, trying to move the install folder, nothing has fixed it in the past. The only remedy I've found is uninstalling the game, and installing it again, and I'm quite tired of that method, so I was hoping you fine people might be able to help me.

The drive (an m.2) I'm installing it to is formatted to NTFS since it's a shared drive within my PC and I dual boot with windows (no, windows can't seem to update the game after Linux gives up, since the files are partially messed with at that point). Tekken 8 is the only game to do this: Street Fighter 6, Baulder's Gate 3, Elden Right, No Man's Sky, all of them update and behave perfectly fine, with no hints of anything breaking outside of SF6 within the first month or so of its release which has not happened since.

I am running EndeavorOS, I don't have any of my drives encrypted nor any particular software which messes with the file system running except SyncThing, which doesn't even look inside my steam directory. I'm at a genuine loss why this keeps happening, why Tekken 8 is the only game it happens to, and why the common solutions don't do anything to help.

I am happy now! (Goodbyes! (Borderlands 2 working now))

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11 Mar 2025 - 6:06am

I am very happy today!

I got Borderlands 2 working fine!... but thats not all im happy for...

I'm happy that I got Borderlands 2 working great bcuz I switched to Windows!

Only did this bcuz firstly I only got ubuntu jammy jellyfish to fix a broken hard drive, but I had trouble getting back to windows. So, for the past year, i've had a lot of fun playing on linux and learning new things about computers with the help of you master linuxers!

It's been very fun, but I remembered why I had linux when I installed borderlands 2...

(worst linux port ever created)

After that, I finally managed to switch back to windows after a year of fun on linux with my aquired knowledge on linux, which previously I did not understand.

I switched back not only bcuz of Borderlands 2, but also... I am still not a pc nerd (completely), which mean that i cannot do much without looking up on google or on reddit.

Anyways, I am very happy now! And thanks for the support everybody on linux has given me!

Goodbye! --Cooki LX--

Winwing Ursa Minor has two axes bound to Z axis

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11 Mar 2025 - 5:28am

Pretty much what the title says: I have a Winwing Ursa Minor Fighter joystick that, when trying to play DCS, has both the throttle slider and the twist axis bound to a singular axis, (the Z axis) which should be reserved for the twist alone. I've never messed around with joystick configuration, any hints as to where to start would be greatly appreciated.

Help with XXMI Launcher

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11 Mar 2025 - 4:13am

I've been trying to play ZZZ with mods using the XXMI launcher. It plays and works but if I tab out when I tab back in I loose all control. I can't use my keyboard or my game pad to control. I on the Hoyolauncher itself it's the same deal. Any tips?

Any Limo users care to shed some light on proper use of "Root Level"

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11 Mar 2025 - 3:32am

My modding level is somewhere between beginner to intermediate. I started modding skyrim with M02 on windows back in 2022 with a decent degree of success and had about 250 to 300 mods working almost flawlessly. I switched to mint around 2023 and tried modding with M02. Which I was able to get working temporarily but eventually it bugged out of my control and i decided to leave it alone for a while and wait for a better solution. Currently I'm running fedora and I'm determined Limo is that better solution.

So far all I have installed is the skse mod described in the github tutorial. I understand the function of root level as it's described in the install guide when installing SKSE. But I don't understand when it's necessary to use it with other mods. Setting a root level isn't necessary for all mods right? If not when do you know when and how many to set it for? If anyone could clarify I would appreciate it. Even if it's just some examples.

Also some explenation or examples of other common mods that get added to bin deployer (besides SKSE and ENB) would be cool. I'm having some trouble making sense of that as well. Thanks in advance for any contribution!

laptop heating steam game question

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11 Mar 2025 - 3:10am

I was playing Steam as I do once in a while on Arch, on Dell xps 15 laptop, and somewhere around 2 weeks ago, some other reasons, I decided maybe I was overdue for a fresh Arch install. Now before, I was seeing idle temps around 150 F +/- 10 say, and steam was starting to push it into 220 F area. This fresh install is currently running at 116 F.

This machine is not too bad I mean maybe not gamer level whatever, what should I know before I just go and reinstall steam and hit the same brick wall.?

Bizarre performance drops an hour after rebooting

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11 Mar 2025 - 2:34am

Okay this has been driving me nuts. Before I start, system specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT
Motherboard: B550I AORUS PRO AX

And this is less relevant, since this also happened on Bazzite, but I'll still list it anyways:
OS: Ultramarine Linux 41 (Cyberia) x86_64
Kernel: Linux 6.13.5-200.fc41.x86_64

So I've been trying out the Unleashed Recomp lately, which is great fun, especially on my Steam Deck. But bizarrely the game runs like complete garbage on my computer, and I have no clue why. I've been poking and prodding but not much has yielded anything.

Provided is Unleashed Recomp's profiler showing what happens from a normal 60FPS scene to when I rotate the camera around (I'm in Empire City's village level to demonstrate this). Note how "Present" spikes up completely. Eventually "Present Wait" does settle back down, but it doesn't make performance any better when that happens.

https://preview.redd.it/haxa2729ryne1.png?width=454&format=png&auto=webp&s=f50df0108d3e6b9953609e3495891091322c68b7

And here's what LACT's historical chart shows:

https://preview.redd.it/3in4bfberyne1.png?width=1332&format=png&auto=webp&s=bdedafdd91a01f9ef7d61f47b6134f7b4c759a67

Contradictorily, the parts of the graph that shows power usage is when my FPS drops. I don't know why my GPU is deciding to use LESS power when these intensive scenes are showing up. It's not like my CPU usage increases either.

Fixes I've tried: Putting `amdgpu.aspm=0` into GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, using CoreCtrl and LACT (the GPU's memory frequency does get changed, but the GPU itself completely ignores those changes), using gamemoderun (sometimes it makes the game run worse and I don't know why), running the game in X11 (I switched to Ultramarine Linux just to use cinnamon, game runs just about the same). And none of the in-game settings affect this, hell cranking all the settings down still yields bad performance in the same areas (even making the game run at 200P resolution internally!)

I'm seriously out of ideas as to what to do here, I've scoured Reddit for suggestions and came up dry at this point. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

I think something important to note is that this performance happens after an hour of my computer being on, give or take. If I run Unleashed Recomp immediately, the game runs just fine. But then I do other stuff and come back to it... and the performance tanks completely. Closing down all other applications doesn't help, restarting KDE Plasma doesn't either, by logging out then logging back in, even.

Debian 12, steam crashing on launch

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11 Mar 2025 - 1:51am

This just started today. I saw a couple issues pop up on the steam for linux github page, so seems like a widespread issue. Has anyone here run into this issue? https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and I'm all out of ideas

Best gaming distro for intel macs (VM setup on Mac Pro 2013)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11 Mar 2025 - 12:50am

I'm trying to play some games on my Mac pro 2013 using a VM running a linux distro. Mainly playing Rocket League or other indie single player games. I'm trying to run Rocket League from the Epic Games Launcher though. If any distro works, would I use the heroic games launcher?

I've seen YT videos mentioning Asahi Linux but I'm using an intel mac, so I'm not sure if that works for me or not. Let me know which Linux distros are good for running rocket league on a VM. Also if you can estimate the performance on 1080p, hoping to game on 1080p-60fps.

My Mac pro 2013 has a 2.7ghz xeon cpu and dual d300 amd firepro graphics with 64gb ram.

Is GPU Passthrough worth it?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11 Mar 2025 - 12:29am

I'm planning to buy a new PC for gaming, and I love Linux, the problem is that playing online games that uses Anticheat on Linux is impossible, I would love to play Wuthering Waves or League of Legends without being constantly obligated to dualboot with windows and Linux.. So I searched many options including GPU Passthrough on a gaming VM..

From what I know, I need a Good CPU (I picked R9 5900x), lot of RAM (32gb), two graphics cards (RX 6700 or 7600 combined with a RX580) and a good MoBo that supports very well the PCIe Passthrough (idk for this)

But from what I've heard, even with that there are a lot of flaws with gaming VMs, like Anticheats that prohibit the use of VMs, hard drives speeds problems, compatibility problems and the one that scares me the most, setup problems.

This is where I notice that even after my research, I feel like I know pretty much nothing about this.. I checked a little r/VFIO but most of the recent post are people asking for help so it didn't helped me a lot.. I'm a newbie on Linux and maybe this is way beyond my skills but I at least want to know if I have any chance of being able to stay on linux while playing competitive games.

Is it better for me to stay on Windows or to Setup a gaming VM?

Performance tanked after today's Monster Hunter Wlds patch.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11 Mar 2025 - 12:04am

Everyone knows that this game optimization is a mess, it was basically running the same thing as windows for me after i migrated. Playable with tinkering but no the best. After today's patch the game is at a constant 10 to 20 fps, unplayable.

Anyone with the same problem? Is this a a conflict with the new version and proton?

I am fairly new to linux gaming so, maybe a game breaking after a update might be a common occurrence i have not seen yet.

Steam Game Recording has no GPU acceleration, using CPU instead

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Mar 2025 - 11:55pm

Steam Game Recording outputs fine, but it uses my CPU to do it, this is despite having GPU acceleration turned on. It happens in all games. I found out initially because my PC was loud for such a light task, and I verified it using Mangohud. I think I have set up my AMD drivers properly and I'm using the non flatpak version of Steam. Here's some information about my machine. Is it because they don't support AMD GPU acceleration? Here's some logs. I think the journalctl log could be useful, it's saying about a VAAPI error.

Steps to reproduce: Install all drivers, turn on game recording and hardware acceleration

stuttery experience with vkd3d (dx12) games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Mar 2025 - 11:46pm

hello

so it's been a few month since I started dual booting linux and I was mainly playing on linux (fedora first and then moved to pika os) so at first it was good playing on linux playing dx11 games and older stuff but then I started playing indiana jones and it was reaaaly stuttery , i couldn't test it on windows cuz for some reason it didn't even launch the game ,no errors or anything so i played on linux with a lot of stutters but tolerated them , but again i started playing avowed and bloodborne(shadps4) and stalker 2 ( it was so bad i had to play it at 30 fps to get a stable frametime )and compared them to windows ، Linux was waaay more stuttery than i feel like it should

and from what i know amd gpu perform better in linux (they are ,atleast on dx11 and older games) especially if u are cpu bottlenecked but idk why dx12 games are a mess for me

anyone else experienced such a thing? i tried multiple protons version, different launchers, different kernels and schedulers or mesa versions and they are all the same but when i see the performance that other people gain from moving to linux idk why im not getting it, in fact it gets worse

my specs : rx 6900xt , ryzen 5 5600x ,16 gb ram 3600mhz

i know im cpu bottlenecked but still doesn't explain why my windows experience is better than linux

if someone has experienced this or MIGHT know the reason, I'd be appreciate to know about it

Limo mod manager not starting at all.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Mar 2025 - 11:34pm

I have installed Limo through flatpak as this is the official way suggested by the dev. The issue is that it doesn't even want to start at all. I have no idea what could be causing the issue. I have it running in arch and tried both wayland and x11. At least it is not a compositor issue...

Steam dont start/launch games - Arch

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Mar 2025 - 11:23pm

Hi guys so when I try to launch native games like Dota 2, CS2, 7 Days to Die, and War Thunder, they fail to open.

Steam from multilib and its runtime

I found a video online that matches the exact bug I'm encountering.

https://reddit.com/link/1j8b9ch/video/q2e8wmjkuxne1/player

Here's what I noticed in the Steam logs:

Has anyone faced this issue before, or does anyone know how to resolve it? Any guidance or troubleshooting steps?

EDIT: add the screen capture

Diablo 3/4 runs at lower fps than on Windows 11

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Mar 2025 - 11:20pm

I recently purchased a new laptop (Lenovo Legion 7i) and installed Fedora Linux with CachyOS kernel, but Diablo 3/4 runs slower than Windows. Does anyone know how to fix it? My previous laptop was able to match Windows 11 performance, but I can't seem to get it done with this laptop.

Does anyone know what I can do to improve my performance?

Specs

  • Lenovo Legion 7 16IRX9
  • Intel® Core™ i9-14900HX × 32
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 4060 8GB Laptop GPU
  • 16GB Memory
  • 1TB NVME Solid State Drive
  • Fedora Linux Workstation 41 (Cachy OS kernel Linux 6.13.6)
  • NVIDIA Driver 570.124.04

Just created pygame

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Mar 2025 - 11:13pm

I've just developed a space war shooter game. This game is about shooting UFOs, and there are three types of bosses. To reach the bosses, you need to achieve different levels of scores. I was thinking that the game should be open-source on GitHub, with an executable file included.
