Any Steam Deck audio guru? Pipewire/clock.quantum

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Feb 2025 - 9:07pm

Im trying to get lower audio latency on the deck. Adding a .config/pipewire/pipewire.conf with custom defaults kills pipewire.
Im not sure how to attack this or how to RTFM.

Im ok with linux (first used it back in 1997/8?!) but not really for multimedia/GFX...

Im also not an Arch user :) Sorry! :)

As someone who oy uses my pc to game...

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Feb 2025 - 7:31pm

My specs are r5 5600x 32gb ram rtx 3070ti. I've always been iffy on switching because of my GPU alone, and in the past I always had issues with auto mounting all my drives. I don't play a lot of online only anti cheat heavy games. I mostly stick to jrpgs/rugs, and occasionally mmos that I know run on Linux. I've always wanted to switch to Linux as I've been a Windows user essentially my whole life and I do like tinkering and messing about with how my desktop and whatnot. But I really only use my pc for gaming, emulation, and watching yt and anime and whatnot. So is the switch warranted when everything on my Tiny11 setup works without any sort of issues? I've been on and off Linux many times but ever since getting this current pc I haven't really touched it.

Marvel Rivals crashing mid game

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Feb 2025 - 7:30pm

Marvel rivals works great more often than not on my pc, Endeavour OS and a 5700 gpu, but it crashes every so often and I notice that after it does there's an update waiting to be downloaded.

Assuming it's some kind of difference between the version on my pc and the one on the game's server that's causing these crashes is there anything I can do? Has anyone else had similar experiences or seen anything similar with windows users?

Now I just want to stop streaming games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Feb 2025 - 6:32pm

After the struggle to run Spiderman Remastered, now I just want to play it using sunshine and moonlight, and as the cell phone is much more compact than the laptop, I can play it calmly at 800x600 resolution which doesn't even make a difference, I'm going to download God of War to play it later too, only success

Do Proton/Wine introduce measurable/feelable latency/input lag?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Feb 2025 - 5:05pm

Hey guys, pretty new to linux/linux gaming (latter being mostly just my steam deck), i intend to main linux in a dual boot setup once i build a new pc mainly because win11 seems drwadful and most of my day to day use doesn't require windows anyway. Probably going for a nobara/bazzite install.

Uh, anyway, ime emulation can add noticeable amounts of input lag/latency. Proton however doesn't need to emulate hardware, rather just translate api calls and such (to my knowledge) so i was wondering if anyone has measured it or noticed any or found ways to reduce it? (i remember reading something about needing to change something to turn off some sort of anti tearing feature in the os) and something similar to AMD's antilag feature that they ended up nuking after it got people banned in online games, the linux copy was called something like latencyflex iirc?

Will be going for an All AMD setup on AM5 if that matters.

Thanks.

Oh, before i forget, is there some sort of RAMdisk equivalent for linux?

Nvidia 2060 super troubles (dota 2, marvel rivals)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Feb 2025 - 4:19pm

I play fairly low requirements titles, mainly WoW and Dota 2 (in between wow seasons), but recently my gainward 2060 super seems to be speedrunning to its demise recently with two main issues:

NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:26:00): 79, GPU has fallen off the bus. - This has been a recurring issue that comes and goes across different drivers version and is intermittent at best (seemed to occur mostly _after_ exiting WoW and during browsing on firefox. Since I tried marvel rivals it has been happening every other match and reoccuring even seconds after a fresh bootup. I have tried changing the PSU and reseating the card. It does not appear to have made a difference. A full log of the latest crash can be found here: https://pastebin.com/bCxsxUFH
Sudden slowdown in performance. Happened both in marvel rivals and dota 2. After about 30 minutes of smooth gameplay, there's a sudden drop in performance, reduction in fps (but still above 60) and severe increase in jittering. While the fps counter is still showing 80-90fps, the game feels like 30fps. The drop in performance matches the below point in nvtop where the gpu % went from a stable line to dropping.

Any ideas what the issue could be ? is my card cooked ? could my arch install be somehow borked (it's around 10 years old at this point)

Street Fighter 6 not wanting to start.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Feb 2025 - 2:06pm

I have recently switched over to using Linux on my gaming rig and have been able to boot up pretty much every game I play accept for Street Fighter 6. When I hit the play button, it will say launching, wait about 5 or so seconds and then go back to play. I've tried Proton 8, 9, Experimental, and GE 9-25 a long with every launch option I could find on ProtonDB and I run into the same issue.

I am using OpenSUSE TW and have a RX 6750 XT. I also made sure that my GPU and Vulkan drivers are up to date as well so I am at a loss.

Minecraft Sodium Stuttering Issue on Linux

When I use Sodium in Minecraft, I experience stuttering. My FPS is 1500+, but I get stutters every 5 seconds. When playing Vanilla or with OptiFine, I get 900+ FPS but don’t experience any stuttering at all. Why is this happening? Does Sodium perform poorly on Linux, or is the issue on my end?
