Does anyone know a software that supports the G PRO X Superlight 2?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Oktober 2025 - 14:51

Piper supports the OG Superlight but not the Superlight 2 and any other software I've seen either don't work or don't have anything above DPI. Thanks for any help!

Is there any way I can invert mouse (Y axis) for a game, when there is no ingame option for it? Using the Steam client or Lutris or Heroic.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Oktober 2025 - 14:29

I can't find a way to force-invert the mouse Y axis for a game, does anyone know a way?

It would be better if there is a toggle, so that I can temporarily set it back to normal in menus. But even without a toggle, I'd very much like to invert the mouse camera in a couple of games that do not support it natively.

Thanks for any help..

Disabling ReBar with a VKD3D flag or how to (maybe) fix incosistent GPU utilization

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Oktober 2025 - 14:25

Just wanted to put this here so others can find it when googling...

In Cyberpunk I experienced a degraded framerate consistently after menuing or when talking to NPCs. Turned out that my GPU wasn't being utilizd fully in that scenario (thermals ok, only drawing a fraction of the possible power) and I had to load into a new area to fix it (until it happened again which was giga annoying).

Anyway, I found out that some people on Windows disabled ReBar for fixing this issue. I didn't want to do that in the BIOS as i wanted ReBar enabled for other games, so I went digging and eventually found this flag:

VKD3D_CONFIG=force_host_cached

Just put it in Steam's launch option for any game that shows issues that might be fixed by fiddling with ReBar. As far as I understand, it should work both for NVidia and AMD GPUs.

Lo and behold, Cyberpunk now uses 100% of my GPU all of the time, no more shitty framerate.

I don't own any other games with this issue, so please, if you manage to fix something else with this, leave a comment so people can find it when searching.

Help with playing games on Linux Mint - Steam games.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Oktober 2025 - 14:02

Hi Everyone,

I just switched to Linux mint and it's a rewarding experience. Everything works out of the box and I'm really liking it. Now, I want to play my steam games on Linux Mint so I went through all the documentations, reddit answers and tried installing Batman Arkham Asylum but it won't start. I'm getting a box of errors, the launcher has black rectangles and the game won't launch. I think I'm missing something here. I'm new to Linux gaming so can someone please help me with this? Is there a step by step guide? Thanks in advance.

I may have cocked up with Steam and I need your help

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Oktober 2025 - 13:11

(Please be kind, I'm trying to learn, sometimes at my own expenses..)

Hello, last night I tried to install Dirt Rally 2.0 on my secondary NTFS drive, as my main one didn't have enough space left, and it didn't launch. I had a few other games installed on the main drive, which launched perfectly until last night, so I thought ok, I move all of the installed games and Proton bits and pieces to the secondary drive and make it the default one, but they ALL refused to launch at that point. So I thought ok, let's uninstall Steam altogether without moving the games backwards and forwards, then I purged everything from Steam to do a clean up (using sudo apt purge steam*) and when I tried to reinstall via Mint's store, it says this:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

steam-installer: Dipende: steam-libs-i386 (= 1:1.0.0.79~ds-2)

same story if I try to install via terminal, it says:

I seguenti pacchetti hanno dipendenze non soddisfatte: //(the following packages have unmet dependencies)

steam-installer : Dipende: steam-libs-i386 (= 1:1.0.0.79~ds-2)

E: Impossibile correggere i problemi, ci sono pacchetti danneggiati bloccati. //(Impossible to correct problems, you have blocked damaged packaged)

How do I solve the issue?

My NVIDIA GPU is Underperforming on Fedora – Only 20 FPS in War Thunder

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Oktober 2025 - 13:10

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing a serious performance issue with my NVIDIA GPU on Fedora. Even though I have installed the official drivers (following multiple tutorials on YouTube), my GPU isn’t being fully utilized.

Specs:

GPU: NVIDIA [insert your exact model, e.g., GeForce GTX 1660]

OS: Fedora [insert version, e.g., Fedora 42]

Driver: NVIDIA proprietary (latest)

The Problem:

In War Thunder, the FPS never exceeds 20, even on medium settings.

nvidia-smi shows that GPU usage is only around 6%.

I used to play the same game at 60 FPS on Windows with the same GPU.

CPU usage is normal, and nothing else seems to be limiting the system.

I have tried reinstalling the drivers, switching to different versions, and checking GPU settings, but nothing changes.

Things I’ve Tried:

Installed NVIDIA drivers via RPMFusion and official NVIDIA website

Checked with nvidia-smi and glxinfo to verify driver installation

Tried running the game with prime-run (command not found issue)

What I Need:

Any advice on why my GPU is not being fully utilized on Fedora

How to force War Thunder to use my NVIDIA GPU

Suggestions for troubleshooting GPU performance issues on Linux

Thanks in advance for your help! Any guidance would be appreciated.

War Thunder performance suffering since switching to Linux, any help welcome.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Oktober 2025 - 11:22

Hey y'all, I recently switched from Windows to Linux because of discontinued security updates for Windows 10 and privacy concerns with Windows in general.
While most of my games have been running as well or better than on Windows, I'm having constant issues with War Thunder when trying to run the game on anything close to the high graphics settings I was using on Windows.

Any help is appreciated.

General info:

  • I started on the Steam version of the game but switched to the native Linux client to make the game playable at all (there were severe jitter/stutter issues with the Steam version).
  • Game now runs great on low settings, but if I turn any of the terrain settings (terrain quality, grass, trees, etc) up past minimum/low I start running into issues.
  • While I can turn up settings and the game will still report an FPS of 60-120 (down from 150-240) depending on settings, it looks like it's actually running at a much lower and rough fps, or just acting laggy in general).
  • Textures seem to load slowly or inconsistently, despite the game being on an NVME SSD.
  • CPU usage looks reasonable at 20-35% (system total), GPU usage looks higher than it should be for the settings at 75-90%, RAM usage is reasonable if low at 25% (system total, out of 64GB)

System and install info:

  • Nvidia GTX 1080
  • Intel Core I7-8700K
  • 64GB RAM
  • Endeavor OS (Arch Linux)
  • "Full client" 60GB version of game, although I'm fairly sure I was using the 130GB ultra HQ version on Windows.
