Hey everyone,

I’ve been gaming on Linux for years (including online multiplayer), but recently some friends of mine (on Windows) and I have been trying to find a way to play old PC games together over LAN remotely. Back in the day, stuff like Hamachi or GameRanger was the go-to solution.

The problem is, I can’t find any solid cross-platform (Linux/Windows) alternatives these days.

The most important thing is that it should be Linux/Windows comoatible and really easy to set up, since not all of my friends are comfortable with the terminal or complex configurations.

Does anyone know of any tools or services that could help us out?

Thanks in Advance!

Error code 10010-4001 data error

I'm on heroic game launcher and I know about the AAGL thing but the issue is that I have to linux version of genshin (idk if that's a thing but when I tired to locate genshin files I got from a windows pc through a SSD it said that this files are not compatible with this version of the launcher)

And for AAGL I'll have to reinstall the game which is something I dont want to do as I have slow internet.

Is there any other fix available yet

I saw a tutorial on how to do it, followed all the steps, even got it to run, though I couldn't find the game root since the launcher didn't see the ".local" where steam is. After that I deleted the manager and returned to the normal one, now every time I launch it it asks for .net frameworks 4.8, I click no like I usually do, then a black screen flashes and crashes. I updated the system a few hours ago.

Hello,

whenever I create a Desktop shortcut in Steam, the .desktop file is created in ~/Desktop, does anyone know if there's a way to tell steam to store them in ~/.local/share/applications?

I’m relatively new to Linux gaming. My PC configuration is a Ryzen 5 5600G, 16GB Corsair DDR4 3200MHz RAM, no dedicated graphics card, and a 1600×900 monitor. As expected, I get low FPS in certain areas of Wuthering Waves. On Windows, Lossless Scaling was a big help—it gave me around 60 FPS in most areas. Unfortunately, Lossless Scaling is Windows-only, and I can’t run it with Wine since it can’t interfere once Proton handles the display translation.

I recently came across Gamescope, which seems to work similarly to Lossless Scaling, but I’m not sure how to set it up or whether it can give me the same (or even better) results.

For reference, I’m using Arch Linux.

EndeavorOS. I just got a Logitech G502. it works fine in desktop use, scrolling is fine and as expected.

However in CS2, when run natively, a single scroll dent input, just one notch, sends like 10 scroll inputs to the game. I have tried setting the libinput quirks to AttrScrollDiscrete=1, and ive tried changing settings with imwheel, and nothing works, It seems like source 2 is reading raw mouse inputs and interpreting the 10 or so +15 high_res outputs my mouse sends as multiple inputs.

I also cant use the scroll wheel in any menus, settings for example, nothing happens when i scroll up or down.

If i boot cs2 with a compatibility layer such as Proton Experimental, then it fixes the overshoot scroll issue, but now i am getting dropped scroll inputs.

Does anybody have any idea how to fix this?

Hi,

I think post like this was here at least 1000 times, but why not have it one more time :)

Something about my backgroung.
I am programmer with about decade of experience with programming, out of which about 2-3 years of experience with linux programming, so some config files will not scare me. But I am totally inocent regarding "gaming ready linux distributions".

And this is what I am asking you about.

Games I am playing are: World of Warcraft, Hearts of Iron 4, Europa Universalis 4 (soon also 5), Euro Truck Simulator 2.
Other programs I need for my daily routine are: Brave browser, Discord, VLC.

I am asking you to suggest you to me some good linux distribution oriented on gaming. I recently did see video from JayzyTwoCents (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa8nMiEoti0) - and it looks good, but I want to hear some other experience, because my experience are limited to debian, ubuntu and some fanatically secured undisloced (private repo) linux distro.

And to not forget, I need that distribution to be able smoothy to be dualboot. I still have some programs on windows where there is no good replacement on linux and I can not accept some "less quality stuff". So dualboot is must-have.

As in title am coming back to linux (steam os) becouse of not windows but Armoury crate SE. This asus crap delays my inputs but am not for that here.

Since my most played game recently is working on linux but my game isnt (am bored with it anyway becouse of no offline mode) and its GW2, does any hero shooter with freedom work on linux and isn't "dead" so at least 1k playes on steam.

thx for any advice and i hate acse.

Note : i have rog ally x and i will play only on 15w tdp

I’m playing Hogwarts Legacy on EndeavourOS with the Steam Flatpak version.
Overall the game runs really well, but I’m running into what I think are texture streaming/loading issues.

It’s most noticeable when flying on the broom: as soon as I turn into a direction I haven’t been before, the game stutters for a moment and then continues smoothly. Normally I get a steady 60 FPS with around 70–80% GPU usage.

The game is installed on NVMe (BTRFS across two NVMEs, but I also tested EXT4 with the same result). On the exact same hardware under Windows 11, these “asset streaming” hitches don’t happen.

I’ve tried Proton, Proton Experimental, and Proton GE – same outcome.
Currently my Steam launch options are:
DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="AMD" mangohud %command%
(Without the filter it tries to use the wrong GPU.)

Any idea what else could be causing this?

Hardware:
GPU: RX 7800 XT
CPU: i5-12600K
RAM: 32 GB DDR4

Download the EAappinstaller directly from their website
Cut from your download folder and paste into your folder that already contains the one steam downloaded, usually something like:
/home/YOUR_USERNAME_HERE/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/STAR WARS Battlefront II/__Installer/Origin/redist/internal
Launch SWBF2
EA app should open and let you login
If not, add that .exe file as a non-steam game and launch with proton, login, close the app and try launching SWBF2 again.
Let me know if this works, please

Is there any performance loss in games on Linux if I run them from a Windows NTFS partition? I don’t want to have to reformat to change the file system and reinstall all the games

Just installed Arch and downloaded The Finals. When I launch it, the anti-cheat pops up and then I get this error. Game won't start, IDK what to do. I've tried a bunch of different Proton versions, but no luck.

Battlebit Remastered and CS2 both have issues with my cursor leaving the game and clicking the other monitor, Is there a fix? I tried Gamescope but that tanks my FPS since I am on Nvidia so is there any other possible solutions to lock my cursor to the game? Thank you

When I'm running games by default its hit and miss which games but its 50/50, with power management mode set to performance or balanced makes no diff apparently my GPU (RX 6800) will report its running at half its clock speed 1000-1100Mhz. I've installed Corectrl and setup ranged that are what you would expect from the rx6800 i have. This solved my problem in all but this one game WoW: Mists of Pandaria. When im out in the world, dungeons or bgs i can run max settings, 200fps and the gpu reports what youd expect however when im in a raid specfically 25man and when the boss is pulled not before or after the fight only during the fight the frequency hits sub 100 and constantly yo-yos between 100mhz and 2200mhz, the useage also follows the same trend and the fps hits 5 and its unplayable. i tried different kernals and so far zen1 is the best performance i get. Now when i set corectrl to automatic to goes back to the behaviour of running at 1000-1100Mhz but the effect in the raid is much better, so instead of being 5 fps im more like yo-yoing between 40 and 120fps which is still not great but i can still sort of play for now.

i found this post which led to me trying LTS and zen(CPU specific) and zen1 kernals
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1dyhizb/fyi_for_amd_card_owners_the_linux_kernel_is/

but doesnt seem to make a difference in WoW

How im running the game:
battle.net installer added as non steam game and ran and installed the launcher + wow from this
battle.net launcher opens and logs in, i select wow and click play
game runs through proton, same result with Proton 9,10 Experimental and GE
