I had Halo MCC working perfectly on my Linux Mint installation and then it stopped working. I checked ProtonDB and could confirm that many people had been having issues with it.
The game wouldnt launch anymore, Spash screen opens, then status buttons reverts to online. you could click "Play" every time and just get a splash screen and then back to nothing.

I began to read every ProtonDB entry and found some people got the answer and just wanted to help:

"Proton 7.0-6 is required for intial launch. If you have launched on a newer version before, you need to delete your compat data folder (which is named 976730) and run with version 7.0-6. After the initial setup, you can return to a newer version of proton." - Credits to user: steckums

It worked perfectly, deleted the compat folder, then tried to launch the game with Proton 7.0.6 and good to go. Sign in and play.

Thank you steckums wherever you are!

I'm trying to play Snowrunner on my G29, but game doesn't recognize it in Logitech Type, in Trustmaster or DirectInput does but happens very weird things with FFB even if I disable it in game. There a way to fix it or should I just give up?

I'm using proton 10.0.1 and EndeavourOS.

Hi,

I have a RTX 3070 Master GPU and Gigabyte M32UC monitor. When playing Witcher 3 on Windows, I set the monitor to 120Hz with HDR. I did not notice much ghosting during gaming.

On Linux, I tried many different monitor refresh rate configuartions, but all resutled in very obvious ghosting and flicking effect.

I am using the nvidia 570.144 driver on my Linux system.

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks.

So, I have Steam set to a certain DPI, but non-steam games won't use the same scaling. How do I set scaling to non steam games? For example, Battle Net is scaled tiny and I need it bigger. How do I do this?

TIA!

EDIT: I'm running Garuda KDE Dragonized w/ Wayland if that helps any.

I'm trying to help a friend move into Linux, and he did install Arch Linux (btw) via the install script successfully. He is using Plasma desktop and the hardware spec is:

• Ryzen 5600x
• AMD Radeon RX5700

He installed the game on steam with compatibility mode and proton hotfix. The game runs with normal fps, but the graphics is showing lots of artifacts, such as color bending, transparency glitches, etc. He tested the same game on windows, and it worked correctly.

Also, many people on the protondb states that the game runs smoothly.

I've told him to try a few things, such as running the game with gamemode, and checking that he had installed amd-ucode, lib32 versions of packages, etc, but nothing changed. He also tested other windows games, with similar outcomes.

Any other advices from the community?

I've tried multiple proton/proton-ge versions, all of them get the very ugly windows 95 window decorations, wine programs installed from my distro's package manager seem to all get native window controls.

Using opensuse, the newest update tried to uninstall steam calling it out of date and a dependency was no longer being met.

If I ignore the dependency Steam runs fine, but other systems may not work that way.

Dependency seems to be: libtheora0-32 that it "requires".

Seeing a bunch of people posting here about steam not working and people asking about pc specs and running from terminal but it may actually be a bigger issue than that.

When using the native version of Steam, it will suddenly experience some sort of crash. This might be while downloading something or just selecting something in a menu. Steam will become unresponsive with some UI elements still reacting to mouseover, but clicking on things does nothing. The rest of my desktop works, but only things that were open before the crash. New applications won't start including terminal windows. I usually have a terminal window already running anyway and running htop shows a number of steam processes some of them in either Z or D state. One of them in R state will be using 100% CPU. I've tried every process killing method I could find and nothing other than a hard reset works.

I did my best to wipe my steam install and switched to the flatpak version but after setting the overrides to point to the other drives I have Steam libraries on (like the C drive for my windows install) Steam would just get confused and put new empty steam libraries in those folders and not look at the right ones. I tinkered with it a bit just putting my entire media folder with all drives as an override (maybe stupid idk) and shortly after I got the same unkillable crash.

I wiped the flatpak install and I'm back on the native version and still getting the crash.

I found idle games a really ncie small distraction from work, where I can click a couple buttons while stuff compiles and it just plays itself.

Anyhting cool I can play on Linux to occupy my mind for a couple seconds every now and then? Bonus points if it's FOSS!

I'm using KDE on Pop!_OS with an Nvidia GPU and trying to run Metro 2033 Redux through Steam. When I launch the game, I only get a black screen, although the audio works fine.

Proton is enabled, and I've tried several different versions, but none have worked. My GPU drivers are installed and up to date. I'd really appreciate any help or suggestions.

Developer tobyfox has released DELTARUNE on Steam, their follow-up to the smash-hit UNDERTALE and it's a game that's just insanely hard to describe.

.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

The issue: You only use Linux and you open the Deltarune full release on Linux or Steam Deck and you aren't prompted to import your save data from the demo.

To import save data on Linux, your must do it manually.

Open your file manager (Dolphin) and go to your Deltarune Demo install's compat data: (/home/USERNAME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1690940/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/DELTARUNE/) via the file manager (dolphin) and copy the folder contents.

Then, you go to your full Deltarune install's compat data: (/home/vayguh/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1671210/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/DELTARUNE/) and paste the contents of the filepath from the demo version, overwriting any files prompted.

If you're playing between a Linux PC and Steam Deck, Steam Cloud will transfer your save automatically upon opening the game for the first time on your Linux PC. Thanks Toby for using Steam Cloud! If your save data is located on your steam deck, go to desktop mode by pressing the Steam Button -> Power -> Switch to desktop mode and perform the same steps

I highly recommend backing up your data while you do this by making a secondary copy of the Demo's save data somewhere on your computer, as I have not yet played the full game to its entirety and I do not know if there will be any consequences for doing this method of save transfer. So far, I was able to start from my Chapter 1 save without issue. I was prompted "do you want to continue from Chapter 1?" when opening the game on my deck.

Other than that, this game runs flawlessly out of the box on deck and Linux using Steam Proton!

Taking all the good about Monster Train and just making it a whole lot bigger, Monster Train 2 is an excellent deck-building game.

So I've ran into a weird issue on a fresh install of EndeavourOS where discord freezes up after an arbitrary amount of time.

It's not a full on crash though, sound still works, streams still play, but i cannot interact with the window whatsoever (buttons also don't get highlighted when hovered over) Trying to move the window or trying to close the application entirely result in the standard application hang popup, after which the client terminates and can be restarted normally.

Googling only left me with results related to hard crashes and problems with hardware acceleration. Trying any of the listed changes did nothing whatsoever.

I'm hoping anybody has seen something like this before and might be able to provide some insights.

System Config is a 5950X, 7900XTX, 64GB RAM, latest OS Version and packages, latest version of discord.
