World of Warcraft's framerate tanks on Ubuntu 25.04 vs 24.10. Is the culprit possibly Mesa? Only game with an issue that I play.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 May 2025 - 5:01am

Ubuntu Studio (25.04, but I rolled back to 24.10 for the meantime)

Ryzen 5700X3D

X570 Aorus Master

64GB 3666MHz RAM

Radeon RX 6900XT

I've tried Proton-GE 9.23 (what I use on 24.10), 9.27 and 10.1, all to the same effect.

WOW's frame rate dipped from about 120 to 40 in open world, and from 60 to 40 in Dornagal. For some reason, the game is really liking 40 FPS at 25.04.

If you need more information, I can try to respond, but I'm no longer on 25.04.

Doom dark ages graphical issues

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 May 2025 - 3:23am

I have an AMD 7900xt. I managed to get mesa 25.0.6 installed. Now I can launch the game and get to the main menu except no 3d objects appear on the main menu screen. All I can see are things like the fires and particles. Then when I try to start I have the same issue. Freezes before the opening Cinematic is done any ideas?

Multiplayer Game Recommendations

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 May 2025 - 2:59am

I've been playing Deadlock for a while, but it annoys me more than half the time. The matchmaking is awful. It's miserable to be on the losing end of uneven teams for five matches in a row.

I've tried Marvel Rivals and the Finals. They're alright, but I'm not as excited to play them as I was for Deadlock (for a while).

I'm open to any type of multiplayer game, except DOTA (I'm over it). I used to play Starcraft in the past. I could play strategy, FPS, whatever.

Doom: Dark Ages issues

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 May 2025 - 2:57am

I didn't expect it to work the first day. I'm using Mint and ProtonDB 10.1 beta, and I get the video stuck after the first screen. Haven't had Denuvo tell me off yet.

Using the normal settings. Sadly I'm not Linux savvy just got Mint because I couldn't stand windows 🙂

ETA oh probably should add I'm running a 9070 xt and just whatever the default graphics were.

DOOM: The Dark Ages - stuck at 60fps? Doesn't seem performance related (Nvidia)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 May 2025 - 2:47am

This doesn't seem related to performance at all. I have a 4090 but I also changed multiple settings and tried DLSS Ultra Performance and the FPS stays tacked at 60 no matter what. I feel like there is something off.

Anyone else? Launch options:

VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_KHR_present_wait scopebuddy -f -r 120 -W 3840 -H 2160 --force-grab-cursor --hdr-debug-force-output --hdr-enabled -- %command%

I bought a 9070XT and the I am using HDMI-> DVI adapter on my second older monitor just fine.

So what exactly is the issue with HDMI on AMD gpus on linux? Is the hdmi linux issue only regarding the audio aspect of hdmi?

Best proton version for Doom: the Dark Ages?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 May 2025 - 1:43am

Saw the post about Denuvo giving a 24 hour ban for changing the proton version, so I wanted to avoid that and just pick the right one booting it up the first time. Which one works best on an AMD GPU & CPU (Specifically Ryzen 5 5500 & RX 7600

Oblivion Remastered Making my PC Reboot

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 May 2025 - 12:33am

I recently started using Arch Linux and so far I am really enjoying it ! However, when I play Oblivion Remastered, my PC will randomly reboot itself. I have no problem with other games and the game itself works really well. I played the game on windows before and the rebooting never occurred. I use Proton Hotfix, on Hyprland (I'm pretty sure I installed the Nvidia drivers needed). I've seen somewhere that it may be due to overheating, which could be possible since my GPU isn't watercooled and my fans probably aren't the best.

GPU : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 12GB
CPU : Intel i9-9900K

Hey all I have an HP Envy with Linux Mint installed. Until recently I've been able to play Fallout New Vegas, unmodded, via Steam with no problem in Linux but recently have been running into the attached error which stops the game from launching. The error says "Failed to initialize renderer. Unknown error creating the Gamebryo Renderer", I have a screenshot attached. My Cinnamon Version is 6.0.4, my Linux Kernel is 5.15.0-139-generic, and my graphics card is an Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620.
