Are you using UMU Launcher?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. November 2024 - 08:10

I wonder how many of us already use umu instead of standard wine. If so also what launcher are you using? Or maybe you are using it directly from command line?

I found it to work the best with heroic launcher. I had a lot of problems on Lutris.

B550 motherboards software Linux compatibility?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. November 2024 - 05:28

Hey there! I'm looking for buying a new motherboard, specifically one with b550 chipset and integrated RGB controller, one of the options I found was: 1. MSI MAG B550 tomahawk 2. Asus ROG B550 3. Gigabyte B550 Gaming X V2 After a brief check of their Linux support none of these have oficial Linux support of their utilities software. However as long as I can control the RGB It should be enough for me 1. Which one of these would you choose? 2. Owners of these motherboards, is it possible to use the RGB on Linux? I use debian as my distro Thank you everyone

Can't get a Mod Manager for Sonic Adventure 2 to work no matter what I do

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. November 2024 - 04:27

So, I found out about a number of mods for SA2 that'll hopefully make the game enjoyable for me, including one called Render Fix. I set it up with the older SA2 Mod Manager, only to find it doesn't work with it. So I think, "Okay, I guess I'll upgrade it to the SA Mod Manager like I did with SADX," but despite it being simple enough to set up with SADX, it just refuses to work with SA2.

I get asked to install a .NET Desktop Runtime, I click yes, nothing happens. I manually download the latest one, it doesn't recognize it. I notice it's an older version it's asking for, so I install THAT version. It doesn't work. I then try to use it with the SADX prefix I had set up, and now THAT doesn't work for whatever reason as it asked for an even OLDER version and didn't recognize that, either. I try downloading the proper .NET ProtonTricks needs for the SA2 prefix, it doesn't have what I'm looking for(because of COURSE it doesn't). I then add it to Steam with Proton Experimental. Asks for .NET Desktop Runtime. I click yes to download it. It's the exact one I downloaded earlier. It still doesn't recognize it even after repairing it. Lastly, I tried to open the one in my SADX folder with the SADX prefix to try and use that since it worked well last time. It didn't. It instead showed a black window that won't let me read the text outside of hovering over the OK button. It seemed it was going to set it up, but it's been about 5 minutes since I tried it and nothing has happened. I also can't use Wine cause that's ALSO a black window with only the OK button showing once highlighted and, yet again, does absolutely NOTHING.

I've tried everything I could think of, and Google's only giving results for the first game. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or whatever else?

Roblox on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. November 2024 - 04:25

Does the game work natively or through Wine? Cause I’ve installed it but it keeps giving me this “there is no windows program configured to open this type of file” error. So I’m guessing I need to do some more stuff to get it working. Does anyone know how?

Permanant drop in fps until restarting games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. November 2024 - 03:42

This is an issue that occurs in all games. The games run smoothly without issues at ~60 fps, but after a certain amount of time the fps drops suddenly to 12-14 fps and it stays at this fps until the game is restarted. The problem must be something fundamental since it affects all games.

My gpu is a mid range AMD with only 4 GB of RAM. However the problem can't really be attributed to the low memory since games run smoothly until the "lag" manifests.

I'm using Wine-GE and use lutris to launch my games. I'm running Arch with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600h and a Radeon RX 6500m GPU with 4 GB of VRAM. I'm also using wayland, if it matters.

Putting the games on to an SD card? ( DISCLAIMER: THIS DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH PIRACY!!)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. November 2024 - 01:01

Also this is Through lutris by the way. I'm running Linux Mint I have no more space on my laptop anymore and I have all the set up files and stuff on an SD card from my old windows set up but is there anyway instead of putting the game on my system hard drive on to an SD card like installing them on to that or is that not possible? Like through wine and lutris

Joycon Not Functioning

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. November 2024 - 00:36

I have been trying to connect my nintentdo joycon controllers to my system but it has not been working. They will temporarily pair with my machine but disconnect after about a minute. Even during that time they produce no inputs nor are they detected by evtest. I have installed: joycond, dkms-hid-nintendo, and cemuhook. This has been an issue across multiple usb bluetooth adapters. I am running Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) x86_64. And i have updated my joycond rules. I have looked through many forums and have nothing that helps. Anything that would finally make these damned things work would be extremely appreciated.

Edit: Wired controllers work with no issues

Looking for a way to run games in borderless windows that don't have it built in

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14. November 2024 - 00:01

Back in windows 10 I used a tool called Borderless Gaming which (iI think) moves the window so it kinda looks like a borderless one but I think it is only made for windows and I don't think running it with wine would work well. Is there anything similar to this on Linux? Or perhaps any of you people know how to do it more easily? Mainly looking to do this for Payday The Heist which only has fullscreen which dissapears when I switch to another window on my second monitor and windowed which is abyssmal. Thanks for the help.

Steam Proton Games Freezing After Short Play

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. November 2024 - 22:48

I'm having trouble getting games working on my current setup. My main Windows laptop is out of commission for a bit, so I'm borrowing an older one. The hard drive is failing in that and my internet connection isn't going to stand up to downloading a full Windows install image, so I grabbed Pop!_OS and installed it on my external SSD. But now the two games I've tried to run on this setup have issues with freezing after a few minutes of play. If anyone could help I'd appreciate it.

System Information
CPU: Core i7-7700HQ
RAM: 16GB LPDDR4 @ 2400 MHz
GPU: GTX 1050 4GB (driver version 560.35.03)
SSD: Samsung PSSD T7 (serial # S6XANS0WA16477X)
OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS

Games Tried
Batman: Arkham City (issues may have been fixed by going to Windowed Mode, more testing needed)
Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon(freezes immediately if I try to put it in Windowed Mode)

Proton Versions Tried
8.0-5
9.0-3
Experimental
GE-Proton 9-20

Additional Steps Tried
As mentioned above I've tried running in windowed mode. Might've worked for Arkham City, but it makes Armored Core freeze immediately rather than in a few minutes. I also tried disabling Easy Anti-Cheat on Armored Core, to 0 effect. I've looked into disabling ForceFullCompositionPipeline in my driver settings, but I don't have it in the GUI version of NVIDIA settings and can't seem to get the command right trying to do it through a terminal.

Please bear in mind that I am nowhere near an experienced Linux user, I've only messed with it twice before and both of those were on a desktop machine which behaved more as expected out-of-box, so detailed instructions on any advice offered or further information requested is deeply appreciated.

Nvidia + FreeSync + Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. November 2024 - 20:40

Does freesync work on nvidia gpus on linux? I read that this works on windows as long as i use a displayport cable, does this also apply to linux? Does it work out of the box or do i have to do some tinkering?

I currently have a gsync monitor but i want an upgrade and the one im looking at only has freesync, i have an RTX 3090, use hyprland and sometime qtile on X11

Do I need RAM heatsinks?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. November 2024 - 19:36

Hi guys - hope things are well. Thank you all for help with my last post. I rewired my case and reinstalled the fans properly to ensure smoother airflow (turns out one of the fans was backwards and the wiring was a mess lol). The first image attached is my PC running cyberpunk 2077, the 2nd image is my PC downloading some files (close to idle).

Currently I'm not too concerned abt the GPU and CPU temps because I have moved all my fans to the front so I have no exhaust fans. But I am picking up 2 exhaust fans today so I imagine I will get better cooling results later tonight. What is more concerning now is my RAM. Under load it appears to be getting to above 55+ degrees and my computer starts screeching like a fighter jet. The RAM module is: Kingston KVR48U40BS6-8 DDR5 ram 2x8GB, 4800 MHz, CL-40.

should I invest in heatsinks for the RAM? Should I be concerned abt he RAM temps, should I just buy newer, better RAM? What kind of RAM should I get? Any advice is appreciated.

Ps. Sorry for the camera shots, still have not fully set up all my hotkeys, etc. On my new distro
