For some reason whenever one of my games is focused, I've noticed this with PSO2 and Abiotic Factory, I hear an audio hissing. Sounds like if you cranked up an audio line to the point you are hearing the background noise.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

PSO2 is running via GE Proton 9-27 and Abiotic Factory is running via whatever steam is recommending (doesnt show in properties).

Edit: Forgot, this doesnt happen with my Inzone H9 headphones. It only happens on my mobo's sound output. And I believe that I have heard it when i was wearing my headphones where it outputs the hissing on the mobo sound output but the game audio is outputting fine on my headphones.

Edit2: Uh... it happens on high fps....? I set pso2 to be limited to 60 fps in the game and the audio doesnt have the hissing sound anymore.

Idk what happened because yesterday i could run the game just fine but now suddenly it gives me this error, I'm on bazzite. I tried everything online i.e; using proton 10.0 or adding stuff to launch properties..

Don't get the headline wrong. I've been using a dailwr drive rlinux now since 2008 (unbuntu). And I've installed and run Debian on old pcs maybe ten years ago? But for a long time now I've been rubbing Mac hardware (mac pro and Mac book pro circa 2012 hardware) and I have distro hopped for ages (manjaro yeah yeah I know but it's good on the Mac hardware I use).

But I'm conscious that a Mac 5,1 psu is a beast on the bills. And the Xeons are really getting close to the end now.

I've been looking for soemthing either a itx or mini ATX case based thing or something? I have a video card, should I buy my own, buy an old dell and fix it? Do I need Ryzen. Help!

I am using a laptop equipped with rtx 4060. I'm dissatisfied with Windows because OS customization is difficult and the base RAM usage is too high, so I previously tried using Arch Linux. I remember that when gaming on Arch, my dedicated graphics card's performance was terrible compared to Windows, which led me to switch back to Windows.

I want to try again - which Linux distribution works best with NVIDIA?

I'm on Arch Linux 6.16.arch2-1 and hyprland 0.50.1-1.

Specs:
Ryzen 5 5600X
RTX 4090
32GB Ram
2 TB SSD

Proprietary Nvidia drivers:
lib32-nvidia-utils 580.76.05-1
linux-firmware-nvidia 20250808-1
nvidia 580.76.05-3
nvidia-utils 580.76.05-4

Using GE-Proton 10-12 on Steam.

I have no custom Launch Options set for Marvel Rivals. (Didn't want to just put in random ones I saw on Proton DB when I don't fully understand what they do)

I do know that there is an issue on Wayland with the 580 nvidia drivers. But I was getting these crashes even on the previous driver as well.

It's hard for me to replicate the issue because I cannot make it happen consistently. Usually the crashes will happen when I am loading into the match itself. The load screen will hit 100% and then the game will just freeze. I still have full control over my pc. I can switch to different work spaces, move the game window around, maximize and minimize it. But the game just won't respond anymore and I have to close it by pressing stop in steam.

Only one time did it crash while actually in the game but it was when I was still in the spawn zone. I never crashed during a demanding fight or anything like that.

I've also never tried anything like Gamemode or Gamescope either but I am definitely willing to try if it is suggested.

I've only been using Linux for about 3 weeks now. I honestly love it so much. I don't want to go back to Windows. But getting crashes and penalties from them is making me consider switching back to Windows so it will just work again.

I'm really hoping I could get some suggestions on how to fix this so I can stay on Linux because it has been an amazing experience so far apart from this.

So I am very new to linux. Trying out bazitte 42 to work through my steam / epic games back log.

I have a i3 9100f and Gtx 1070. I got the game to launch easy but it crashes after the marvel logo. Is it just because older nvidia gpu ? Yes cpu is low grade it's what I have.

I'm using luturis to launch epic games which does same as Heroic correct ? Just trying out reddit cause I'm not sure where to try and talk to for help.

I used to play Battlefield 4 a lot on console and the Battlefield 6 hype has given me the itch. Since I don't want to pay 40 bucks on steam for a 12 year old game, or pay for online on console for eternity, are there any similiar games that work on linux and don't enforce the anticheat bs?

Running on Zorin distro.

So I tried Lutris, that didn't work. The battle.net installer just kept crashing and I couldn't see any way to modify any settings to troubleshoot it.

So I switched to Bottles. Bottles was actually able to install battle.net. Was even able to log into my account and launch battle.net. The new issue is that I just get a battle.net error: "battle.net update agent went to sleep....". I tried multiple different "runners" (Soda-9.0-1, Caffe-9.7, Lutris-ge-lol-p8-12, wine-ge-proton8-26, kron4ek-wine-proton-10.0, ge-proton10-12, sys-wine-10.0).

Some weren't able to run battle.net at all, others would just freeze at the login screen. A couple manage to get past the login but as I said, I just hit the battle.net error I mentioned earlier.

Do I need a specific version of one of these runners or am I missing something else?

Thanks.

Hello ! Long time ubuntu user and lurker and recently joined reddit. I'm running ubuntu 24.04.2, and steam installed via apt.
I had a question about a weird behaviour I have on steam, I have tried to look it up but didn't find useful info.
A lot of the times (not everytime), when I boot up a game on steam, usually when I hit the first button on my controller, steam kind of goes crazy. Usually the steam window closes, then reopens, then it opens some new windows. Sometimes I get the window asking me to browse folders to add a non-steam game to the library, sometimes I get a window asking me if I'm sure if I want to uninstall the game (don't even know which game), sometimes it's asking me to update my controller driver. I have tried once to say "yes" to see what would happen, and the weird thing is that it didn't do anything and asked me again..
While this happens, the game boots up normally and I just have to completely close steam and it stops doing crazy thing. Also, I have tried using my controller while steam is open but with no game running ( to see if it was the controller that was linked to steam functionalities somehow) but nothing happens.
Does anybody else have the same issue ? Do I have to accept that my steam is crazy (but still nice) ?

I’ve noticed that Linux players are currently banned or excluded from certain EA games due to anti-cheat or platform restrictions. Do you think EA will eventually lift this ban and allow Linux users to play normally, or is this something we shouldn’t expect anytime soon?

I am not sure how find and install the best MODS like ACAT and all available cars and tracks DLC. The game is running well. Is modding this game worth it?

Hello everybody.

Relatively new to Linux Gaming. I do run a proxmox box and a FreeBSD firewall and used to be a professional sysadmin. Gaming was a Windows thing for me until recently. (Also the only thing I was doing on Windows.)

Anyhow, I found CoolerControl, which looks awesome. However, how does one make it relinquish control of a fan? Reasoning see end of post.

CoreCtrl as well as FanControl (Windows) have easy settings for this. If I "disable" a fan in CoolerControl however, it appears to just remove the fan from the UI, but coolercontrold still controls it. I know this, as the default state of CoolerControl is to ramp up my AIO's coolers to 100%. So the first thing I wanted to find out is, how to give control back to the hardware. (Corsair iCUE H100i RGB ELITE).

I am interested in gaining knowledge, not in a discussion about my motivation. I'll only say this, my Power Colour GPU has great (!) fan control out of the box. I spend 2 weeks with FanControl and could not improve on it.

Thanks for the help.

 

Edit: Things I have done:

• Read the whole manual at https://docs.coolercontrol.org/
• Check issues at the Gitlab repo https://gitlab.com/coolercontrol/coolercontrol/-/issues/
• Googled for about an hour. Tough thing to google though, due to name of the app. My google foo might not have been strong enough.

 

Edit2: I am running

• Fedora 32 KDE (Kernel 6.15.9-201.fc42.x86_64)
• coolercontrol-2.2.2-1.fc42 (installed via COPR repo of the maintainer codifryed/CoolerControl)

I need some help from the community. I'm trying to get the ultra textures setting in Diablo 4, which I don't get because I think the OS is only reporting 31GiB of RAM. 32GB is a requirement.

So for anyone playing Diablo 4 on Linux: what RAM size is reported with fastfetch ? And do you get the ultra textures setting? Disabling the iGPU doesn't help.

I'm running Bazzite Gnome and cannot find anyone reporting the issue on the web. I get the setting on Windows so I do meet the hardware requirements.

I'm doing a setup currently on a laptop, but if linux will run great I'd probably end up switching. I have an issue, though. I like Battlefield and EA FC, but heard various stories of it not being playable due because kernel can't run or something on Linux.

Can you help me give me a more clear answer here?
