Balatro capped at 30FPS on proton

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26 Jan 2025 - 2:35pm

Hi ! I recently set up a dual boot, with it I installed steam and started trying out games on Linux. In general, the performance have been moderately worse than Windows but manageable. One outlier though is Balatro, which runs at a very poor 30 FPS.

System information :

- Distro : Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) x86_64
- Kernel : 6.1.0-30-amd64
- CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics
- GPU : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile
- Running on Xorg (cinnamon)

I don't know much about drivers so I'll leave you with this :

$ vulkaninfo | grep "driver" driverVersion = 22.3.6 (92286982) driverID = DRIVER_ID_MESA_RADV driverName = radv driverInfo = Mesa 22.3.6 driverUUID = 414d442d-4d45-5341-2d44-525600000000 driverUUID = 414d442d-4d45-5341-2d44-525600000000 driverID = DRIVER_ID_MESA_RADV driverName = radv driverInfo = Mesa 22.3.6 VK_KHR_driver_properties : extension revision 1 driverVersion = 535.216.1.64 (2247491648) driverID = DRIVER_ID_NVIDIA_PROPRIETARY driverName = NVIDIA driverInfo = 535.216.01 driverUUID = 1f965d0f-b9fd-55ec-a984-67cb1a8104e0 driverUUID = 1f965d0f-b9fd-55ec-a984-67cb1a8104e0 driverID = DRIVER_ID_NVIDIA_PROPRIETARY driverName = NVIDIA driverInfo = 535.216.01 VK_KHR_driver_properties : extension revision 1 driverVersion = 0.0.1 (1) driverID = DRIVER_ID_MESA_LLVMPIPE driverName = llvmpipe driverInfo = Mesa 22.3.6 (LLVM 15.0.6) driverUUID = 6c6c766d-7069-7065-5555-494400000000 driverUUID = 6c6c766d-7069-7065-5555-494400000000 driverID = DRIVER_ID_MESA_LLVMPIPE driverName = llvmpipe driverInfo = Mesa 22.3.6 (LLVM 15.0.6) VK_KHR_driver_properties : extension revision 1

Balatro runs on my GPU as seen using nvidia-smi :

I have already tried setting my CPU governor to performance (considering such a low framerate could be explained by the CPU being on power saving mode).

My steam launch options are : __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia gamemoderun %command%. I am running on Proton Experimental as advised on protonDB.

I have disabled cached shaders due to a bug that made steam re-download everything every time I launched a game, and I didn't want to download 800MB of data every time I want to play something. (I'm guessing it shouldn't affect Balatro's - the 60MB 2D pixelated game - performance)

I have tried everything in the video options of the game, toggling VSync, fullscreen, etc... I find it both ironic and annoying that my laptop that can run pretty much any modern game at a steady 144fps dies on Balatro.

Thanks in advance for your help !

steam cloud saves take very long to upload/verify

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26 Jan 2025 - 2:03pm

Hi there,

so as the title says - steam cloud saves take very long to verify/upload for some reason. I am pretty sure its not my internet and Im wondering if I am missing something in linux that causes it?

Not sure if this was always a case for me in linux (i daily drive it for around half a year now) but it surely started getting on my nerves now since i sometimes have to wait several minutes before I can launch a game otherwise my saves (that I have on my drive) get deleted which happened to me a few days ago in fallout 4.

I run cachyOS (arch fork), kernel 6.13.0 kde plasma 6.2.5, r7 5700x3d, rx 6950xt, 32gb ram, steam/os are on nvme. Various speedtests show my download speed as download 250-300 mbps, upload 25mbps. I have my download region (in steam) set up to one which is basically in the city I live in and i have no other network issues. Steam is native, not flatpak.

FF VII Rebirth AMD crashes?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26 Jan 2025 - 1:43pm

Curious if anyone has found any remedies for this. I am running Rebirth on a 7900 XTX and 5700x3D on Bazzite in a gamescope session. I’m finding no matter what settings mitigations I do to lower resource use I still get a hard crash every 10-20 minutes.

Typically in cutscenes, the image will hang for a few moments, then my video will cut out entirely, then steam BPM will restart, but the OS session persists. Seems like a GPU timeout if I had to guess.

So far I’ve tried proton experimental (default), and proton ge 9 23 but not much seemed to change in terms of stability.

I know some have been playing the game with no issues on Linux and AMD so I am not sure what the difference is. If it matters my output source is a 4k tv at 60 hz and I am using HDR, though i tried without and crashes still happened.

Lock Screen during playing Elden Ring

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26 Jan 2025 - 1:38pm

Hey,

I've got a problem during playing Elden Ring for some days now and I don't really know where to begin with finding the solution anymore. After a certain period of time active playing Elden Ring (and an appropriate amount of dying there) the lock screen would appear, like I was not using my PC for some time at all.

When SotE came out there was no problem, but now it seems to occur (after some months I wanted to play it again) and now I can't say where the specific point was where it might have changed in the past. I already tried some things in the screensaver and energy settings, but the result was the same. It is like the PC doesn't recognise the inputs of the controller as, well, inputs.

As OS I use LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) with the following specs:

Elden Ring I run with Proton Experimental (Steam). As input device I use a GuliKit NS09 (also detected via Steam).

Everything works flawlessly, like some months befor. The only difference now is the problem with the locking screen.

Any ideas what I can do? I really have no idea where the source of the problem could lie.

Thank you!

GTA V

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26 Jan 2025 - 1:00pm

Hi,

I fixed a few things related to GTA V, including installing ProtonGE. That helped the textures stay on even after a couple of missions. But sometime later, the game stutters and freezes. Is there anything I can do.

I am playing this game through Steam, and I'm careful not to play online due to Battleye implementation.

Distro: Linux Mint CPU: AMD FX-4300 Memory: 8GB GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
