Couter-Strike 2 audio cutout during streaming on Discord

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 06. Mai 2025 - 02:40

The game works flawlessly until the moment I start streaming anything via Discord. It just entirely loses audio on every audio device after few seconds of streaming. I've tried using launch options telling the game to use Pipewire but the issue still persists. Anyone knows how to fix it?

Elden Ring Freezing

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 06. Mai 2025 - 02:08

I am hoping someone could offer me some guidance. If I launch Elden Ring using Proton 9.0.4, experimental, or the latest GE proton it makes no difference, but I am having an issue with the game freezing. It will freeze on the new character screen as soon as you get to it, it will freeze on the load save screen, and if you hit continue it will freeze around 10% through the loading bar.

I've tried verifying files, wiping the prefix, reinstalling, and disabling steam overlay but I haven't made any progess in the last 2 days of messing with this. Is there an error log I could run a command to view? I am running endeavourOS which is arch based and my launch commands are just "gamemoderun %command%". I want to learn more troubleshooting for games but haven't had issues with most of the games I play so I haven't really needed to so far.

Absurdly high temps, usage and bad performance on HoMMV with proton (14700k)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 06. Mai 2025 - 02:01

Hey, I'm new to linux gaming. So far (almost) everything worked out of the box perfectly (minus HDR and framegen). I've tried to run an older game (HoMMV). and noticed it plays in 30-20FPS, depending on resolution (I need 720p to run it at 30). Look at resource monitor shows it to be ~50-60% CPU usage, and barely any on GPU, with temps almost always maxed at 100C. Tried Cyberpunk, another CPU heavy game, and it keeps temps around 50-70C, with similiar CPU load. Idling temps are also around 20C. Any tips? I'm fresh on linux gaming, never tinkered with wine. I'm using heroic launcher btw, and no proton version changed anything.

CS2 stretch 4:3

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 06. Mai 2025 - 01:48

Hey r/linux_gaming!

Having an issue getting Gamescope to stretch the output on my setup:

  • GPU: RX 5700 XT
  • OS: EndeavourOS
  • DE: KDE Plasma (Wayland)
  • Monitor: LG 27GS75Q-B (2560x1440, trying to run games at 1920x1440 stretched)

I can successfully launch games through Gamescope with a specific resolution (e.g., gamescope --expose-wayland -w 1600 -h 1200 -r 200 -S stretch -W 2560 -H 1440 -- steam -applaunch 730), and the resolution and refresh rate seem to be set correctly. However, the -S stretch option doesn't seem to do anything; the game just runs in a smaller window with the correct aspect ratio, not filling the screen.

I've tried:

  • Using -W and -H with my monitor's native resolution.
  • Trying different internal resolutions for stretching.

Any ideas or known issues with this setup? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Has anyone got Playstation Network features to work on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 06. Mai 2025 - 01:08

I have been seaching around to a fix/solution, how to get ghost of tsushima's Legends (online features) to work on Linux. The problem is Playstations software which doesnt seem to work with Linux out the box. This is related to the "Failed to initialize PlayStation PC SDK" issue.

Im running Mint.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 06. Mai 2025 - 00:59

I want to play games with a friend, like Stardew valley and siege, I tried to get steam but it’s so slow in running anything. It is a hp elitebook x360 103 g3 that runs on Linux unantu (can’t remove that). My birthday is coming up and I can ask for somthing else but until then, is it just my lack of skill in using computers or is the computer actually just slow?

dlssg-to-fsr3 Mod Working on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 06. Mai 2025 - 00:16

Hey, I have a 3080 and was looking at trying to get frame generation working for Oblivion remastered. The FSR frame gen in game has pretty bad ghosting and is not very usable, but I seen there's a mod dlssg-to-fsr3 in this thread that allows you to use DLSS frame gen on older GPU's. I couldn't get it working and seen theres this thread from a while back where you can patch wine to get it to work, but theres nothing recent that I can get working. Has anyone had any luck with this?

PSA | NTSYNC makes Black Ops 1 playable at full speed and I'm so happy for this

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 06. Mai 2025 - 00:00

I'm on a full red build and I was having tons of stutter due to shader caching on Windows while I had none of it on any linux distro while playing Black Ops 1.

BUT, there was a gigantic but, ESYNC and FSYNC are completely broken in BO1 so you need to disable them to play the game decently, still you can't reach full speed with it, performance aren't that great.
Here comes NTSYNC and holy moly it completely fixes it, no shader stutter, no fsync/esync problems and slow performances, it just runs perfectly smooth and my system is chilling while doing it.

That's it, that's the post, a small appreciation post for ntsync that fixed this specific issue I had with linux gaming :D

I own the GOG release and run it in Bottles, but my DualShock 5 isn’t recognised.

  • Tried installing xinput inside the bottle.
  • Added the game to Steam to use Steam Input—still nothing.

Do I need the Steam version, or is there another fix?

NVIDIA Driver Conflict on Manjaro (Kernel 6.12.25) – Can’t Install Hybrid Prime Drivers

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. Mai 2025 - 23:41

Trying to set up NVIDIA Optimus/hybrid graphics (Intel + NVIDIA) on Manjaro with kernel 6.12.25, but installation fails due to package conflicts. Specifically, nvidia-dkms conflicts with legacy kernel modules (e.g., linux510-nvidia-open), even after removing old packages. The error persists despite attempts to force-install video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime via mhwdTrying to set up NVIDIA Optimus/hybrid graphics (Intel + NVIDIA) on Manjaro with kernel 6.12.25, but installation fails due to package conflicts. Specifically, nvidia-dkms conflicts with legacy kernel modules (e.g., linux510-nvidia-open), even after removing old packages. The error persists despite attempts to force-install video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime via mhwd.

Steps Taken:

  1. Tried installing drivers via mhwd:bash

sudo mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime --force

Error:

bash

sudo pacman -R mhwd-nvidia mhwd-nvidia-470xx nvidia-dkms --nodeps

Reinstalled DKMS and utils:

bash

  1. Result: Conflict persists.sudo pacman -S nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils nvidia-prime lib32-nvidia-utils
  2. Rebuilt initramfs and rebooted multiple times.
  3. Verified kernel version: 6.12.25-1-MANJARO.

Current Status:

  • nvidia-smi works but hybrid PRIME offload (prime-run) fails.
  • mhwd -l shows video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime as installed.
  • Full package list: [pastebin link or inline output].

Questions:

  1. How to resolve the nvidia-dkms vs. legacy kernel module conflict?
  2. Is there a workaround to force video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime without dependency hell?
  3. Should I purge all NVIDIA packages and start fresh? If so, what’s the safest method?

System Info:

  • GPU: NVIDIA (Geforce 1650 max-q) + Intel UHD 630 (CoffeeLake-H).
  • Display: Using Xorg/Wayland?
  • .

Steps Taken:

  1. Tried installing drivers via mhwd:bash

Display stuck at 60Hz on Nobara but works perfectly at 180Hz on Windows 11

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. Mai 2025 - 23:16

My display (KTC H24F8) automatically updates its refresh rate when the display settings are changed on Windows.

However, it doesn't work at all on my freshly installed Nobara ; I can see and select every single one of the rates options from my Linux settings, but my screen rate is stuck at 60Hz (and it seems that I can't change the monitor refreshing rate manually), and if I select any rate above 60Hz, a "No signal" alert pops on my display.

I have tried with FreeSync/G-Sync both enabled and disabled but it didn't change anything.

Do you have any idea why it doesn't work / how to fix it ?

How to disable alt + right click brings up window menu?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. Mai 2025 - 23:12

Upgraded Ubuntu 24.04 to 25.04 to deal with new GPU stuff (let's not get into that, shall we?).

And now alt + right click is bringing up the window menu, when in the past it did not.

The keyboard shortcut I expect for that function is alt + spacebar, which is still the case.

HOWEVER Alt + Right Click IS A FUNCTION IN OVERWATCH 2. So you see... I need to figure out how to unbind that in my Linuxy environment.

Can't seem to find why this is happening, or which shortcut to change, or whatnot. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
