What Format Should I Use To Play Windows Games On Linux Steam

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12 Jun 2025 - 3:42pm

I have an external usb drive formatted in ntfs that has been used, for years, to play windows games through Linux, on Steam. Currently, I am using my wifes' laptop, which is listed as the owner, in Linux Mint 22. I have added my own user profile, which has sudo privileges in an admin account, and have been patently unable to mount the usb drive with the correct perms to run a single game.

Reaching out to the Community/Forums has been an exercise in extreme frustration.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

How to make HDR look actually good on KDE Plasma

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12 Jun 2025 - 3:23pm

Hi people, I'm looking for a way to make HDR look actually good on KDE Plasma 6 + Wayland with Lutris and games like Cyberpunk 2077 or The Last Of Us Part I.

For now all I did was enable HDR on my display settings and set the env vars

DXVK_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland

In Cyberpunk 2077, enabling HDR results in completely overpowered colors, no matter which HDR setting I choose. TLOU, however, gives the exact opposite result and the colors are totally washed out.

Did I miss out on anything here?

Thanks in advance.

Enough about Windows games that broke on Linux. What are some games that broke on Windows 11 but work well on Linux using Wine?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12 Jun 2025 - 12:50pm

We all know of games that don't work on linux (usually because of anti cheat). People don't often talk about when the opposite is true, but it does happen (usually for older games).

I heard of an Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and the original Chrome game from 2003.

What are some games that y'all know of that are broken on Windows 11 but work just fine on Linux using wine?

Oblivion remastered is not working

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12 Jun 2025 - 12:31pm

I have the game on Steam, and I'm using opensuse TW. The game starts and crashes. I've lucked at the files log, but without any information about the failure itself. It was working a few weeks ago.

Got SteamVR running

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12 Jun 2025 - 11:58am

I use endevouros with hyprland running on an amd gpu with amdvlk.

SteamVR does not want to run natively nor in proton.

I was prepared that there might be issues and defaulted to ALVR which is fully supported on my HTC Vive XR Elite through the usb cable and wireless.

I got two questions:

  1. ⁠Is there any chance that SteamVR could run natively or is Wayland just not supported?
  2. ⁠Are there performance or stability benefits to using mesa drivers instead of amdvlk?

(RACINGSIMULATION-INPUT DEVICES) Thrustmaster tlcm pedals With Boxflat Moza Software.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12 Jun 2025 - 10:50am

Can anyone tell me the most logical way to connect these two devices . Would figuring out the cable termination and making a cable from Tlcm to moza Hardware be worth doing (OR) Running a Virtual joystick software of some sort for the pedals and just leaving box flat alone. So far i can only get input values from pedals with box flat and jstest-gtk running. Pedal has usb out and rj11 connector? (proprietary clip) no on board software as its meant to connect to wheel. Also functions on its own in windows. Is there an easy way to connect these without writing code?
