Alan wake 2 Heroic HDR

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13 Jun 2025 - 9:44pm

What command is used and where is it input for wayland HDR in Heroic? In game arguments iv got

--ozone-platform=wayland and this launches using wine 10.9 forcing wayland for me. Protons don't seem to launch the game. Now i just need to enable HDR but im confused as this is a little different from Steam.

Combat Mission: Black Sea not going further than Launcher

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13 Jun 2025 - 9:39pm

I have an issue with starting Combat Mission: Black Sea, specifically the game does not start (in Steam library I can see that the button changes from Stop to Play, so its basically crashing), after I press "Play" button in the Launcher. According to ProtonDB reviews, it does not require modified proton and works out-of-the-box with Proton 8.0-5.

Software and hardware:

  • Arch Linux, kernel 6.15.2-arch1-1 with KDE Plasma, Wayland
  • CPU: Intel Core i7-13700KF
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, Driver Version: 575.57.08 CUDA Version: 12.9 (from nvidia-smi), Vulkan Instance Version: 1.4.313 (from vulkaninfo)
  • Steam from native package manager, version 1.0.0.82-2
  • Tried with Proton 8.0-5, 9.0-4 and Proton Hotfix, with and without __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=mesa %command% as proposed in one of the reviews on ProtonDB.
  • The game is .NET, 32-bit as far as I can see from file output

Logs recorded with Proton available here. Those logs are recorded with Proton 8.0-5 and only with PROTON_LOG=1 %command%. Size is > 1 MB, so uploaded to cloud. Not sure what could generate so much logging information as I almost immediately pressed "Play". My guess would be the HTML content to the right in the Launcher that has some troubles with displaying (shows updates, other games from the publisher, etc on Windows).

Seek advice on how to fix the issue as I have no idea what to look for in the logs. Thanks in advance!

(Cheat Engine) CE Proton Launcher doesn't recognize Steam Path?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13 Jun 2025 - 8:38pm

I'm not sure why, but CE Proton Launcher refuses to recognize my Steam installation path. I have it installed through a Flatpack, so install location is different than a Snap or AppImage. I have already attempted to use CeServer, however I had discovered that Proton runs the games in a way CeServer wouldn't be compatible with, so this is my next option.

Sidenote: Yes, game is running Proton Experiemental. Heard it needs to in order for this to work.

Major performance drop in rocket league on proton 9 vs 10 or above

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13 Jun 2025 - 8:22pm

I’ll try to keep it short, but basically on the exact same setup, if I run proton 9 stable on steam with rocket league I get around 820-1000 fps. However if I run any newer proton version (10 beta, proton-cachyos, ge, or tkg, and experimental) I get around 480-600 fps in freeplay. I’ve tried multiple distros, kernels, epic games vs steam, env variables, game-performance/gamemode, and native Wayland wine driver.

Same results on X11 and Wayland

What I’ve noticed: when running the game through proton 9 stable, my GPU usage is anywhere from 85-98% or so. On any of the newer protons it almost never goes above 70%. It’s almost the behavior of a frame limiter it’s so stuck at 70.

Test system: Ryzen 7 7800x3d RX 7800xt 32GB ddr5 ram Mesa 1.25.1

Distros tested: Vanilla arch, cachyos, nobara, and fedora

I’ve come to the conclusion that there was some regression in proton that led to this (accidental or not). I’m probably going to open an issue on protons GitHub about it, just wanted to know if anyone is also getting the same experience

We're making an horror game and we have a Linux build !

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13 Jun 2025 - 6:35pm

Hi!
We're a team of 3 devs making Workaholic Simulator: Leaving the Dream. It's a surrealist psychological-horror game. It's a satire about burnout and work in our modern society.

We don't use any text or voice in the game and we try to touch directly the subconscious of the player through familiar but abstract images and concept.

You also have to work fast and quietly to not startle the horrible entities you encounter in these nightmarish places.

The game is not released yet, but we have a demo for you to try! It's short, but it's full of secret and there is a hidden alternate ending.

Workaholic Simulator: Leaving the Dream on Steam

We would love to know if it run well on Linux and if you like the game!
Also, if you have any suggestion or feedback, we would love to hear from you!

Do "Gaming distros" have better CPU/GPU support

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13 Jun 2025 - 6:16pm

I run Kubuntu with an Intel igpu and occasionally I have games that won't launch properly with proton. Some of them will launch if I set the use Vulcan flag.

So my question is: Would issues like this be less common with gaming distros like bazzite or is this just a general driver / hardware issue?

Disk Write Error on Bazzite OS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13 Jun 2025 - 6:05pm

I am having trouble launching my games in bazzite on my rog ally. It used to work before now and I see this error on any games I run. Noticed that the path it is accessing in the root its mounted on '/' ? The drive which has bazzite install bazzite deck but it is somehow trying to access mount /. I am not that good with linux so there lies my problem in trying to figure this out. Would appreciate some insight on why this is happening and if there is any way for me to fix this. Appreciate the help. Thanks.

Managing a Windows install that I rarely use?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13 Jun 2025 - 6:01pm

I know this is a Linux forum, but it's gaming/sysadmin related.

I am running Pop OS as my daily driver. It works great for most games, but every once in a while there's one that will ONLY run on Windows (looking at you, Rainbow 6).

I can dual boot Windows and grit my teeth just to play a game, then head back to Linux for everything else, BUT, Windows updates are just a giant nightmare. I've tried this in the past, and it works, BUT I need to load Windows and have it steal my computer from me for an hour or so to install a bunch of updates every time I go to play a game. Kinda ruins the night.

Is there a way to have my computer boot into Windows, let it install updates, then reboot back into Linux on some sort of schedule? The only thing worse than having to boot Windows just to play a game is to boot Windows just to install Windows Updates.

Doom eternal

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13 Jun 2025 - 5:20pm

Now this isn't really about Doom Eternal it's more of a question if anyone knows something about it.

I'm currently on my Windows pc, I had linux mint about 3 months ago maybe I switched back because of some features I needed and I just got bored of linux (dying light didn't work on it aswell).

When I was on Linux I had pirated Doom eternal and played at like 60-70 fps with no upscale. I download it on my windows pc and I barely run it at low with upscaling, what the fuck? I knew there was a slight difference but that's insane, my pc is very mid but I can run games which I like to play and I bought it like 3 years ago and I'm not ready financially to buy a new one.

Now, was it Linux that made that difference or something that needs tweaking beacuse I'm on 15-20fps on windows. Anything helps, thanks!

Lutris/HGL add library/emulators

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13 Jun 2025 - 5:13pm
Anyway to use one or the other for everything? HGL now has GOG multiplayer support so you can play Baldur's Gate 3 online with crossplay etc. But HGL doesn't have a way to add emulated games. I don't know of anyway to add HGL library to Lutris or enable gog online in Lutris. Would be nice to have a single application for game library. Anyone know of any possibilities? submitted by /u/dp27thelight
