Left 4 Dead 2 won't run on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 1 Jun 2025 - 8:07am

Basically the title. L4D2 wont run through steam. I tried proton and I tried no forced compatibility. No compatibility wont play at all even though this is supposed run natively. Any ideas?

Should I create a swap partition ?

I remember somes games in Windows used to benefit from having a swap partition (Battlefield series notably) even with plenty of RAM.

Played the latest version of Dead By Daylight and am having trouble with one thing…

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 1 Jun 2025 - 6:23am

Hi everyone!

I became a linux gamer today… and I’m running into an issue. Using the proton beta and latest stable version, I have this constant flickering going on in matches and I lose frames inconsistently.

This is the main game I play and the reason I made the jump to Linux is because the game supports it, so what can I do? I’m all for tinkering as I’m a CIS major and love doing things like this, but I have no clue where to begin…

Specs: CachyOS Ryzen 7 5700X3D CPU NVIDIA RTX 3080 32GB of RAM GNOME

Quick Edit: Wanted to mention I’ve tried messing with the launch settings and say that I’ve tried using DX11, and that didn’t really help the issue.

Ghostrunner 2 horrible frames on Heroic

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 1 Jun 2025 - 3:45am

Hello, I recently started playing Ghostrunner 2 on the Heroic Launcher. At start I had to lower the video settings but that was expected considering my specs. The game ran fine at first, but after closing it and reopening, I started having horrible framerates as in 6 FPS in the title screen.

Has anyone ever had a problem like this? I have tried both Proton-GE and Wine-GE to no avail. My specs are:

OS: Fedora Linux 42 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition) x86_64
CPU: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11400H (12) @ 4.50 GHz
GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile / Max-Q [Discrete]
GPU 2: Intel UHD Graphics @ 1.45 GHz [Integrated]
Memory: 23.24 GiB (26%)

ISDone.all error “It is not found any file specified for ISArcExtract” when using Wine to install a game.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 1 Jun 2025 - 3:27am

I am installing a game I downloaded and I am getting this error. I have tried using Wine from terminal, launching it directly, Bottles and Lutris and this error happens every time.

Did I miss something when installing wine?
