Guild Wars 1 (Steam/Proton) only top area is clickable

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Jul 2025 - 8:26pm

Hey guys,

in remembrance of good old times and due to the steam summer sale, i got myself guild wars 1 again and encountered a problem after installing and got it to start. Only the top area of the screen/game is clickable (in this case the close and minimize/maximize buttons). I can't click any of the links at the bottom for account creation or even the login fields for email and password - only tabbing through it works, keyboard inputs work without problems.

To run the game, I'm using Proton 5.13.6. My system runs on Garuda Linux (Arch based) and Wayland (Hyprland Desktop).

Has anyone encountered a similar problem, or was able to solve it?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Jul 2025 - 6:22pm

Okay so i can not run cs2 on fedora becuase my gpu drivers need to spport vulkan 1.24 so i installed nvidia drivers after that my pc get to resolution i think something like 1240X670 just some lower resolution and i could not switch to 1920X1080 but i did go to terminal copy some command paste it to terminal restart pc and it worked and i have the classic resolution back but cs2 is not running becuase my gpu drivers do not support vulkan 1.24 still when i have my GPU drivers installed. But when i was on endavouros it worked and im using GTX 1060 yup i heard nvdia is releasing last drivers update on all GTX cards now but when i will run sudo dnf update everything is updated and in discover is evrything updated but still cs2 is not working so i dont know what i need to do

How often should I update Proton?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Jul 2025 - 5:32pm

I just started gaming on linux mint. I know in steam I can go the compatibility section and change my proton version. I ended up using a GE proton version and it seems like hes pumping out versions once every week or so.

If I am using a proton GE version how often should I change to a newer version? If I use the default proton options in steam do you all recommend the stable, experimental or the beta versions?

I'm trying to play Dungeon Siege 3 under proton, and despite the platinum compatibility rating, I'm getting like 5 FPS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Jul 2025 - 5:20pm

I'm wondering what changes I need to make in order to get the game to run smoothly.

I'm sitting on a Ryzen 2600
4070
32 GB RAM
AND the game is installed on an NVMe SSD.

I kinda feel like I'm missing something here, since my computer can handle Cyberpunk, and Dungeon Siege 3 ran like butter when I was on Windows.

How will the future of NTsync look like?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Jul 2025 - 5:14pm

I know the title is a bit clickbait-y, the news coverage about it had been quite misleading to the average user, as it only compared NTsync to no sync technique at all. There were also posts like these that set my expectations really high, but with GE-Proton10-9 making it more accessible to try it for yourself, reality has shown that there is no real performance improvement (in the case for Cyberpunk at least, on my system).

Hell, this benchmark even showed examples where the performance took a nasty hit when compared to fsync, so it's clear that you wouldn't want it to be enabled per default for all games.

However, I read that this list of games apparently very much benefit from NTsync:

  • Call of Juarez
  • Dirt 3
  • Forza Horizon 5
  • Total War Saga: Troy
  • Metro 2033
  • The Crew
  • Resident Evil 2
  • Anger Foot demo
  • Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris
  • Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
  • Bioshock 1
  • Bioshock 2
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 1

Though I play none of these games, so I can't confirm if that's really the case here. If it were to be the case, could we expect per game defaults in the future? It could be realized through the UMU database, for the games that benefit from it.

Or is there even a chance that all games could achieve at least the same performance of fsync?

Forza Horizon 4 NTSync ge-proton 10.9

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Jul 2025 - 4:59pm

Finally we have ntsync in ge-proton

FH4 won't run with PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1

And runs ok without one (using fsync in fact)

Any ideas?

Disappearing and/or flickering textures in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Jul 2025 - 4:54pm
# System Details Report --- ## Hardware Information: - **Hardware Model:** Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH6 - **Memory:** 8.0 GiB - **Processor:** AMD Ryzen™ 5 5600H with Radeon™ Graphics × 12 - **Graphics:** AMD Radeon™ Graphics - **Graphics 1:** NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 - **Disk Capacity:** 512.1 GB ## Software Information: - **Firmware Version:** H3CN31WW(V2.01) - **OS Name:** Ubuntu 25.04 - **OS Build:** (null) - **OS Type:** 64-bit - **GNOME Version:** 48 - **Windowing System:** Wayland - **Kernel Version:** Linux 6.14.0-23-generic

While the game has similar performance to Windows 11 I have been having texture issues no matter what I do. I have tried using proton hot-fix, experimental and various other versions suggested on proton-db but none have seemed to do the trick. I also run the game with the launch option

gamemoderun %command%

The texture issues do not necessarily happen every hunt and they do not necessarily apply to the same textures each time. For example sometimes the companions/monster have broken textures, sometimes the floor vanishes and other times everything starts flickering.

I have the latest and recommended NVIDIA driver (at least according to Ubuntu).

I have also provided two pictures of the issue happening.

I hope this is detailed enough because I can't think of what else to provide. Forgive me since I'm still a beginner if I have omitted something obvious.

Corectrl is a life saver but...

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Jul 2025 - 4:46pm

I was getting a problem on my setup when I plug two monitors at the same time. The screen starts to madly flickering all the time. I search asf and some people on reddit complained about the aggressively power saving for AMD GPUs and maybe the problem could be some memory clocks too low to handle both monitors. I installed the CoreCTRL put on compute mode and slide up everything up to keep clocks higher and...EVERYTHING WORKS FINE.

Now I have a doubt, is there a problem keeping the memory clock at the highest all time (the GPU clock is automatic changing even tough the slide is on the max)?

NVIDIA Linux Users: What is your setup?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Jul 2025 - 4:43pm

Hello!

I want to get an idea of how NVIDIA users are getting the most out of their system while running Linux as the primary OS, mainly for gaming.

I realize from what I have read and tested myself, NVIDIA performance on Linux falls short of Windows in most gaming cases.

I had previously run a Windows VM on my Unraid server for gaming for quite a while, it worked pretty well and I don't recall having anywhere near the perf issues I have with NVIDIA on Linux.

I moved to having two separate systems for some time now but with that experience in mind I wondered if it would be worth running a Windows VM on a Linux Desktop OS to answer for my performance issues with NVIDIA on Linux? That way I can use Linux for most needs and just fire up the VM for gaming to get closer to native perf.

I haven't had the time to try it out yet but I am planning on doing something like that soon to see how it works.

Do any of you have Linux as your primary OS with an NVIDIA GPU?

If so, how do you get the most out of it?

Are there some best practices or tips that could make it more viable to use an NVIDIA GPU?

---

Edit:

Probably worth mentioning my hardware!

GPU: RTX 3080 Ti

CPU: Intel i5 10600k

Display: 4K, 120hz, HDR (which I really want to be able to use)

I don't expect 120 fps in Cyberpunk 2077, but in most cases games where I just make over 60 fps at 4K on Windows will run well below that on Linux. I haven't checked but I guess G-Sync should help with this but not sure if its supported on Linux.

---

Thanks in advance!

Assassin's Creed II on linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Jul 2025 - 4:07pm

Hello, I hope you are feeling very well today or whenever you are reading this. Does anyone have any idea how I can play my Steam Games that also require Ubisoft connect? I installed Ubisoft connect via Lutris but I can't make it stop the games on Steam, I guess because they are in two different wine prefixes, I can't change the folder either. default installed games or install the games directly from here. If anyone knows of any way to fix this I would be very grateful if you can share it.

Question - feasability of RTX GPU passthrough to Linux Container under proxmox for use with Monado/WiVRn for Quest 3 (and LLM use)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Jul 2025 - 2:46pm

I am contemplating a change up to my systems at home, but kindly request the experience and wisdom of linux_gamers to help guide me to a decision. (This post is linux_gaming related but I'm afraid it starts with my homelab/AI/proxmox needs)

We know VM's and LXC's with GPU passthrough function for gaming, and that there have been succesfful use of CUDA in LXC's. That's not the question, The question element is the expected levels of 'satisfactory' performance in PCVR when using Linux containers in proxmox

I am building a new Proxmox node and have decided to treat myself to a Threadripper 3000 series build so I can have multiple PCIE4.0 x16 slots (as I have recently started enjoying tinkering with LLM's and am intrigued at the possibilities, eventually would like to learn how to train my own models, ie with multiple 3090 GPU's)

Back to gaming - To give more context: I had been running a dedicated Win11 with 4090 machine and Virtual Desktop for Automobilista2 on the Quest3 and was never happy with the the performance at 120fps with high supersampling,MSAA etc. There would always be a tiny bit of microstuttering.

Finally upgrading the 4090 to a 5090 I was able to get the performance I was happy with. All settings were max'ed for image clarity and the performance was a solid consistent 120fps. I clarify this to be transparent about how persnickety I am and my desired levels of performance.

The plan was to sell the old 4090 in order to finance a couple of 3090's for the new AI/Proxmox box.

But having recently discovered Monado and WiVRn Im now wondering if I could ditch the windows PCVR machine altogether and move the 5090 over to the AI/PRoxmox box (ThreadRipper 3945WX on Gigabyte MC62-G40 board with 128GB DDR4) and pass the 5090 GPU through to a 'gaming/AI' LXC

That way I could use the 5090 for both PCVR & LLM's, no longer needing to purhcase additional 3090's for LLM's and maybe one day adding another 5090 to get 64GB VRAM if it can be justified.

So the question for those of you who have tried such a thing, what kind of PCVR Quest 3 performance loss should I expect from a 5090 passed through to an LXC compared to baremetal win11 and 4090.

Thank you for your time reading through this post and any guidance you can offer.
