Noticed while playing Overwatch that the mouse position when using the communication wheel is spawning on the last position the mouse was before being captured by the game. This also causes issues in other moments in game (Using pings with mouse wheel click makes the cursor moves too fast sometimes) and on Blender (moving vertices brings the cursor back to the original position when finishing the move action).
Is anyone facing the same issue? Any workarounds or fixes?

Hi guys. I'm trying to run NFS Undercover with the Project Reformed modpack on Linux,but the game always crashes as soon as it finishes creating the profile and attempts to load the initial cinematic,which is very strange considering it's rated Gold on ProtonDB,neither one of the NFS modding tools used to install Reformed(Binary 2.8.3 and VaultEd),bitched about anything running under Wine,and the mod installation went without a single error. I also ran the game both under X11 and Wayland to rule out any wonkiness of XWayland.

Specs of everything:

• Machine: Acer Aspire 3 A315-42-R1B0 laptop(Model with a Ryzen 5 3500U CPU,10GB of RAM and a Radeon Vega 8 iGPU with 2GB of VRAM)

• OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed KDE,latest snapshot 20241114.

• Kernel version: 6.11.7-1-default

• Plasma version: 6.2.3

• Mesa version: 24.2.6

• Wine version: wine-devel 9.20(default latest wine version on TW btw,because TW lacks the stable version as it's a rolling release distro)

• Lutris version: 0.5.17

• Steam version: Native/Sniper 17331433018(not Flatpak or $nap,I kinda dislike containerized Linux packages and go for native whenever I can)

*Proton version: I tried 7.0-6(with gamemode),Experimental and UMU-Proton 9.0-3.2(because I somehow managed to compile UMU Launcher from source),even ProtonGE 9.20 didn't make the game runnable.

• Lutris version: 0.5.17(because I first tried to run the game through Lutris)

I don't have logs with me,but if y'all ask me kindly and tell me which commands I need to type in the terminal,I'll gladly provide the output(as I'm not too knowleadgeable with this specific side of Linux,bear with me). I tried to run the game on basically everything(Lutris,Wine,UMU and Steam) except for Bottles(because I never understood why Bottles wouldn't work with my otherwise perfectly fine-under-proton games) and Faugus Launcher(because the dev probably hates openSUSE for some reason),and I may or may not have fucked up my wine prefixes by attempting to run the game through countless possible means,be them Proton,UMU,Wine or Steam itself,always ending in the same result,starting,letting me create the profile,and then proceeding to suddenly crash as soon as it tried to load the cinematic.

If someone is willing to help and guide me through this wacky world of Linux Gaming,I'd be more than thankful for the help.

Since I was wondering the importance of DE in gaming performance, I compared 4 myself
Here are the result in Cyberpunk 2077's benchmark (I don't remember exactly but quite high settings in 2560x1440, raytracing, Linux Mint, RAM:16 GB, AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, CPU:AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core)

Not sure if I did everything right but :

- KDE average FPS 106.25 - min 84.16

- Cinnamon average FPS 106.49 - min 84.51

- XFCE average FPS 105.47 - min 82.80

- LXQT average FPS 105,78 - min 84,18

Basically : doesn't matter for gaming (but maybe this would change for older PC or Nvidia, idk)

But it does in other settings, I tried launching many apps and videos (1 firefox with many tabs, 1 video playing + 1 reaper instance playing a few tracks music in a loop, + steam client), and XFCE and LXQT were doing better than KDE and Cinnamon

Basically LXQT consumed 8% less CPU than XFCE
XFCE 11% less than KDE

KDE 6% less than Cinnamon

Ram usage was generally close, maybe 5% difference

tl;dr : DE doen't matter for gaming perf but it does a bit more for other applications

I'm experiencing unexpected performance differences between Vulkan drivers on Arch Linux. While RADV is commonly recommended as the best driver, I'm seeing better performance with AMDVLK and AMDPRO in certain games, particularly Satisfactory (running native Vulkan mode, not DXVK). I previously noticed similar behavior in S&Box's preview dev build, though I can no longer reproduce it there.

System details:

• OS: Arch Linux 6.6.61-1-lts
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT
• Compositor: Hyprland
• Driver versions:
  • RADV: 24.2.7 (vulkan-radeon)
  • AMDVLK: 2024.Q3.3
  • AMDPRO: 24.10

Troubleshooting steps tried:

• Adjusted power profiles using /sys/class/drm/card1/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
• Enabled gamemode

The performance difference is consistent: AMDVLK and AMDPRO both perform noticeably better than RADV in Satisfactory. Given RADV's reputation for better performance and compatibility, I'm wondering if this indicates an issue with my setup, or if others have experienced similar behavior with these specific combinations.

Welcome back, Commanders!

Hey fellow Linux gamers,

I'm in the mood to play a Construction & Management Simulation, but don't know what to play. Can you recommend something that scratches my Anno itch, but runs natively on Linux (or is ehsy to set up in wine or proton) and is either FOSS or can be acquired for cheap on GOG.com? (I try to avoid Steam for DRM reasons)

It doesn't have to be great graphics or anything very modern, something on the level of Anno 1701 would be totally ok, but gameplay should at least be tolerable by modern stadards. If you think an older game still holds up well, even without nostalgia goggles on, you can still recommend it.

Hi Everyone,

I'm thinking of buying the Thrustmaster SimTask Kit (T248X wheel with pedals, TH8S shifter and the FarmStick joystick). Does anyone have in experience with those ? Are they working correctly on Linux ?

Thanks,

Jimmy

To celebrate that Half-Life 2 has turned 20, Valve has made it free to claim and keep for a limited time. Not only that, but Episodes One and Two are now included with a huge upgrade.

I've installed the Sims 2 on Linux through Wine, using the Lutris install script for osab's starter pack. The Graphics Rules Maker fails to launch during the installation process, and it also fails to launch if I try to run it manually through Wine. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Got an M.2 PCIe adapter and installed my M.2 SSD that i did not have space for. Having both a Linux system and a windows system is really nice. I can test and take my time on Linux while also having a stable windows platform for gaming games not compatible with Linux.

For convenience reasons I want to bundle a switch nsp game with the final yuzu appimage that released, to make something that feels like a sort of naitive game. Basically an appimage that immediately runs the single game in the emulator without having to set up the emulator or even interact with it. And it saves any changes that normally would go in the yuzu home directory in a directory named after the single game it’s bundled with.

Anyway I know this is possible, but I just can’t get it to work.

Any help would be very much appreciated. Game is ACNH by the way, and yes I own my own switch and copy of the game too.

Anyone know of a Linux native mod manager for Skyrim/fallout? I've been using mod manager 2 through a script I found but I don't love the experience.
