Hi fellow Linuxes,

it’s been a while I checked and I think Reddit should know the current news then anybody else. Is there something in the making for Anticheat software on Linux?

Only thing holding me back is Battlefield and some other multiplayer FPS games to switch to Linux because, you know it doesn’t work out of the box, others do like StarCitizen or other MMOs.

Do you know that someone is working on that kind of a problem or ist the way still to not buy and play these games?

Guys, I'm a Windows user and I want to switch to Linux, but I have a weak laptop and that's why every FPS in games is important to me, and on Linux my gaming performance drops. I installed Ubuntu, Fedora, even tried Steam OS, and everywhere the FPS was lower than on Windows. I play Dota and all kinds of story-driven games like Days Gone, but for some reason I feel like I'm doing something wrong, because I have no experience with Linux. Tell me, can I switch to some Linux distribution where I will feel comfortable and be able to do whatever I want? Does anyone have experience with low-end PCs/laptops? Tell me how you feel about Linux. Did your FPS drop or, on the contrary, did it increase?

By the way, I have

Nvidia GeForce MX330 2GB VRAM

8 RAM

Hey guys! I plan to use Bazzite for gaming and was currently wondering what the thoughts are of the community? Prices are in Canadian.

The 9070 XT is currently $929.99. And the 4070Ti is $1089.99.

I might turn on ray-tracing for some stuff, but honestly I just want to play my games natively at Ultra/High with great frames. I don't care about path tracing, I'm impartial to Ray Tracing.

I'm thinking the $150 extra isn't worth it and to stick with the 9070 XT for less of a headache.

This feels like AMD Boost Feature suddenly got enabled globally in all my Steam games (also Faugus), I can't even show it in a screenshot.

I don't remember what happened of if something updated, every game model's edge becomes pixelated when moving, and is back to normal when it's static.

Distro: Pika OS

Default Proton: GE-Proton Latest (I made sure it's selected)

Satisfactory from Coffee Stain Studios had quite a few patches to improve it on Steam Deck, and the latest update got it Steam Deck Verified.

A pretty good way for Valve to start the year, with Steam breaking another all-time users online record.

Hi all, I'm currently one foot in - one foot out into switching over to Linux and I'm trying to get my games to run. I'm currently dual booting Fedora 43 (KDE - Plasma 6 on Wayland) and Windows and I'm using an AMD CPU and RX 9070 XT GPU.

Back when I was purely on windows, I had an existing NTFS hard drive dedicated to my games/steam library, so when I installed Fedora, I used a bit of jiggery-pokery to install steam and just get it to point to that hard drive. After some troubleshooting, I got my steam games to launch and play without any obvious issues (so far) without having to redownload anything or reformat the drive.

As for my non-steam games like World of Warcraft, I added my preexisting battle.net launcher to steam as a non steam game, and was once again able to play without issues and for FFXIV, I used discover to download XIV launcher and simply point it to my games hard drive. The only game giving me trouble is Elder Scrolls Online. I know that the game exists on steam, but I bought the game outside of that platform, so I once again, added my existing launcher to steam, and the launcher worked fine, but the game itself did not.

Initially, the game would just crash instantly when I clicked play, but I changed the compatibility settings to launch with GE-Proton 10-28 and that got the game to launch, but stuck on a black screen. I've also tried adding just the eso64.exe client to steam, but that sadly, has the same black screen problem.

I can see ESO's custom cursor, but nothing else. I've found old forum and reddit posts and tried their solutions, but to no avail, such as:
- Trying various versions of proton
- Pressing enter at the black screen
- Adding PROTON_SET_GAME_DRIVE=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command% as a launch option
- Trying to add the game through lutris (this helped somewhat as I was able to hear a single sound effect from the game, but no music or anything like that)
- Through lutris, modifying the usersettings.ini file options to skip the intro movie (SkipPregameVideos, HasPlayedPregameVideo)
- Alt+enter to toggle full screen modes

I've read that storing my games on the NTFS file system is problematic, but it doesn't seem to have stopped any of my other games from working flawlessly, so I wonder if the various things I did to get steam working solved it for my other games and just not ESO? I've also seen that most linux users who appear to have ESO working have bought it through steam and linking their accounts if they initially bought the game outside of steam, but I am reluctant to do that because I'm not 100% I'm going to stick with Linux just yet and I don't want to spend money to buy a game I already own.

If anyone has any advice, I'm all ears, because I'm running out of ideas 😅

I am currently using Bazzite for gaming and am wondering if it'd be worth it for stability / performance gains in DX12 titles to switch from the RTX 4070 by selling it and switch to the RX 9060 XT 16GB?

Will this be worth doing or should I just keep a hold of my 4070 until next few generations of AMD GPU's?

First of all i am a complete noob on the Linux side and planning on multi-booting Linux on my laptop soon. But while doing some research on it, most distros of Linux needs you to turn off SecureBoot in order to multi-boot. I know that "Easy anti cheat" does require it in other games (which i don't play) I only need Easy Anti-cheat for Arc and Finals.

Hi everyone!

I recently released my first visual novel, Livber: Smoke and Mirrors. It’s a small psychological horror game, and it didn’t sell a lot, which is honestly what I expected.

What mattered most to me was finishing the game and seeing people actually play the game. Because of that, I’m continuing to support it with an artbook and a soundtrack DLC. We also released a Linux version so the game feels truly complete. On top of that, we’re currently working on localization and voice acting with a team made entirely of volunteers.

To be honest, it’s not the most financially sensible thing to do, haha, but this game feels like my baby, so I want to keep taking care of it ^^

I just wanted to share the experience. Thanks for reading <3

I am playing some old Japanese games and launching them through a simple bash script which runs proton in a pre-installed game profile (from a random game from my steam library).

However, when I add the script to steam as a binary to launch from the client, I get some different behaviour that breaks the character rendering/spacing and newlines in the textboxes. I don't see how this can happen as I am literally just running the same shell script and everything else is simply handled via the same protontricks-launch profile.

Here is the script TheLostOne.sh:

#!/bin/bash cd "/home/morg/Games/EVE The Lost One/THE LOST ONE" export STEAM_RUNTIME=0 gamescope -h 480 -w 640 -H 2160 -W 3840 -f -- \ protontricks-launch --no-runtime --appid 359870 Lost_one_unwrapped.EXE

Here it's how it looks outside of steam.

And here is how it looks when I launch the game via steam. You can see the text goes out of the textbox and the spacing is weird.

Here is my steam launcher settings: https://i.imgur.com/Xk5tjPT.png

As you can see I am just launching the script directly and not doing anything weird.

What could possibly be going on?
