FSR 4.1.0 on 7800 XT (Jedi Survivor) comparison
Hi, wanted to share quick test of swapping dll file from system32 to get FSR4.1.0 working through Optiscaler. Generally there's less shimmering, but the upscaling cost is bigger, still deliviering minimal fps boost comparing to native.
Test is definitely not 1:1, as I tried to get photos standing, running with native, FSR 3.1.4, FSR 4.0.0, FSR 4.1.0, but place is the same. All of these were shot with DLSS input on QUALITY. My settings are epic with RT enabled, 1440P, running MESA 25.3.6 on Fedora KDE Plasma 6.6.1, Linux 6.18.13-200.fc43.x86_64. CPU Ryzen 5 7600, RAM 32 GB 6000 MHz CL30.
FSR 3.1.4 - stand with Optiscaler gui
FSR 4.0.0 - Optiscaler GUI, upscaler time roughly 2.51 ms
FSR 4.1.0 - Optiscaler GUI, upscaler time roughly 3.6 ms
As You can see, upscaling is more harsh for RDNA 3, but still works tho, giving visual uplift. For me personally FSR4.0.0 is good enough in visual quality, but nice to see it working.
I just wanted to check it in games I play at the moment, so perhaps will test in different game as I finish Jedi Survivor. Just wanted to give it a try as it's been leaked recently.
Feel free to share Your experience.

Infinite verification loading on Roblox Sober / Cannot create account
Hi everyone, I’m trying to set up an account using Roblox Sober, but I’m stuck on a permanent security verification loading screen.
Because of regional restrictions, I have to use a VPN to access Roblox at all. It seems like the captcha just won't load through the VPN or within the Sober client. Has anyone found a workaround for this?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Medal alternatives for linux
does anyone know of any? I'm aware of OBS's replay buffer feature, but I'm looking for something more comprehensive
For example, Medal has a built-in clip trimmer and automatically categorises clips based on the game

Is there a way to disable Nvidia's Dynamic Boost?
Hi,
I have a laptop with an RTX 4060 and i7-13650HX, rated at 115W+25W Dynamic Boost. I Iimit my clocks anyway so my GPU never consumes more than 100W, but it still negotiates 140W sometimes which i assume trips BDPROCHOT or another mechanism that tanks the CPU to base clocks.
My temps while gaming are CPU and GPU both in their 60s or low 70s.
I tried disabling nvidia-powerd daemon, but that lowers the GPU power cap to 70W which is too low.
The BDPROCHOT register is write protected, and also nvidia-msi does notet me manually set a lower cap (which is why i lower clocks).
Any ideas?
Thanks

Monster Truck Madness and Monster Truck Madness 2
Ready to get all retro and nostalgic in this here thread? Alrighty, then!
I thought I'd do this write-up because I recently got back into PC gaming, and have been absolutely amazed as well as delighted by all of the Windows games that can now run on Linux thanks to Valve and the Proton team specifically.
For these two games specifically, I was inspired by another thread on Running Monster Truck Madness 2 on Linux, but I then happened to realise that it isn't too difficult to get these games to play nicely (in nearly every sense of the phrase) even with recent versions of Lutris and Wine.
If, like me, you're new to Wine, Lutris, etc., you might be keen on finding the path of least resistance for getting retro as well as recent games up and running without too much fuss. To this end, I consider the following essential prerequisites, so I recommend installing the official packages for your distro if they're available:
- Lutris (v0.5.22 in my case on Arch)
- Gamescope (v3.16.20; I highly recommend this compositor for the ease with which a game can be run in its own virtual screen in full-screen mode which correctly expands to fill the monitor)
- cdemu (for mounting ISOs and CUE files)
I did not explicitly install Wine on my system, but I think it might be a dependency which ensures that Lutris is able to work properly.
Without much ado, let's dive into the installation process for each of these games:
Monster Truck MadnessI was pleasantly surprised when I was able to just launch the Add Game wizard in Lutris and run its setup executable with a minimum of fuss. I may have chosen the Windows 7 Installer preset, but I don't think even that was necessary.
After the installation is done, however, it's a good idea to enable Gamescope (right-click the game's tile / icon in Lutris, and then Configure >> System options >> Enable Gamescope, and set the Game Resolution to 640x480, and leave the Window Mode as Fullscreen (default).
That was basically it, as far as I recall. =)
Monster Truck Madness 2This was the one that caused me some trouble, especially given how easily I breezed through the setup for the older game -- I think the crux of the issue here is that this installer actually checks the OS version. The Running Monster Truck Madness 2 on Linux thread suggests using an older version of Wine, but thankfully that wasn't necessary in my case. The steps are generally the same, and they worked fine on my fairly recent version of Wine (installed as a dependency for Lutris, I think).
- Fire up a bash terminal
- Run the following command (be sure to use your preferred installation directory, and notice that it isn't necessary to specify a 32-bit architecture any more):
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/Games/monster-truck-madness-2 /usr/bin/winecfgWhen the configuration dialogue pops up, select Applications >> Windows Version >> Windows NT 4.0
Apply the above settings and close winecfg, and then run the following command (or its equivalent) to mount the game CD:
cdemu load 0 "$HOME/Games/discs/microsoft/Monster Truck Madness 2 (USA)/Monster Truck Madness 2 (USA).cue"- Finally, install the game:
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/Games/monster-truck-madness-2 /usr/bin/umu-run /run/media/$USER/MTM2/setup.exeNow, the installer did hang for me at the very end (where it asks if you want to create shortcuts), but since all the files had already been copied to the installation folder, I haven't run into any issues despite having had to kill the frozen installer.
You can now add the game to Lutris using the "Add locally installed game" option at the bottom of the Add Game wizard, and the graphics options can be set the same way as for the original game in the series (please see the previous section).
Feel free to post any corrections to my instructions, or any other feedback you might have! I would also be interested to know if these manual installation steps could be converted into an installer script that runs reliably under recent versions of Lutris.
Happy gaming!

GPU Screen Recorder, what are the best settings for Replay?
I currently have these settings for Replay in GPU Screen Recorder. In Windows with Nvidia Instant Replay, after I save my Replay with Alt+F10 I can see there is no visible lag in the video while my game was lagging when i was playing. (as hardware doesn't meet the recommended requirements) Well how can I possibly make it the same with GPU Screen Recorder? Like lagging while recording alright but no noticeable lag on the video after saving the Replay.

Brand new Bazzite install. No WiFi :(
Hi Reddit!
I just did a brand new install of Bazzite (43.20260303) on a second drive, and I am having trouble with my PCIe WiFi card. It's a TP-LINK Archer TBE550E.
On my primary drive with Windows 11 the card has worked with zero issues.
I did some searching and used the ip link show command and it lists only the loopback and the ethernet adapter.
Is there anything I'm missing in order to make Bazzite see this PCIe card?

Mouse spinning / camera stuck looking up in Overwatch 2 (Pop!_OS)
Hi, first of all sorry for my English.
I'm trying to play Overwatch 2 on Linux but I am having a strange mouse problem every time I enter a match the camera gets stuck looking straight up and when I move the mouse it starts spinning really fast and becomes impossible to control.
I'm using PopOS on a Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3i (i5 11th gen + GTX 1650) I am running the game though with Steam with Proton GE 10.32
I also tried adding this to the launch options:
SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0 %command%
The weird thing is that the game was working before but after a recent update this started happening
Has anyone experienced something like this or knows how to fix it?

I need some help
I’m wanted the steam machine but I don’t know if that’s going to happen. I’d like to game on Linux and would love the help of putting together a build for roughly $1500. I live in the USA.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
