I always get this freeze in cyberpunk on this particular place whenever I pass it. I thought Linux could help but no.

I also installed new NVME PS5 after someone telling me my data ssd was the issue but no, still here.

NVME PS5 7200

Ultra, 60FPS

I got a HP Victus 15 with i5 12500k and RTX 3050 , tried 11 distros and gaming was not even close to Windows (low fps, crashes, input lag, stutters).

I was about to accept my fate and return to Windows with my tail between my legs.

I tried:

Nobara 43 + Fedora 43

Ubuntu 25.10 + Kubuntu 25.10

Cachy OS

Mint 22 Cinnamon+XFCE

MX Linux 25 KDE+XFCE

Zorin 18

Pop OS 24.04

On all the distros Msfs2020 which is my favorite game was unplayable due to low FPS, and Descenders (which is native BTW) had micro stutters.

Then I tried Ubuntu 24.04 LTS without too much hope, because it's older and not branded as a gaming distro, but to my surprise everything worked great!

Gaming performance is actually similar to windows! so I'm going to stick with it for a while.

The kernel and driver versions of Ubuntu LTS are actually similar to latest Ubuntu 25.10 (kernel 6.17 and 590 driver) but performance and stability is night and day between those versions.

I also noticed it ran x11 session by default out of the box, so maybe it's a clue. All other distros used Wayland except the XFCE ones, but those had other issues (instability, some games wouldn't even launch, tearing).

I don't know if it's just my hardware or if it's something to do with newer distros being unstable, but wow it was exhausting, and I'm glad I found something that works for me.

Hey all,

i have an question, sometimes i test around with self programmed Indie Games or from a Games Jam.

As i am not all the time 100% sure whats going on with the exe files or games, i would like to secure the Proton enviroment of the game as much as possible.

I know Proton/Wine is not ment to sandbox anything, but is there anything to isolate a game from the running system except a Prefix?
I read somewhere that every Proton/Wine game gets access to the / mount with the running user, is there a way to remove this feature?

I read something about firejail, maybe this would be an idea?

I got this remastered classic from GOG. The game has 2 executables: in the "classic" directory, and that one runs fine (recommend using rOpengl), and "blade" directory, for the remastered version you see on screenshots. The remastered version runs, but from the moment I choose the character to play onwards the background is almost completely white and I'm unable to see anything. Well, I can see some difference if I start as Knight (Sargon). There's a handful of black pixels.

Does anyone have experience running this? Any wine settings I could tweak? I use wine-10.0 (Debian 10.0~repack-6).

I'd rather play the refreshed, better looking version and not classic. I don't have a nostalgia for the game, I've never played it before. The rOpengl renderer does have some minor glitches already in the first level - when I use a torch to set wooden objects on fire, the fire effect doesn't engulf them. They're still destroyed several seconds later.

I added the steamdeck=1 command so that the game would actually play but now when i press shift “S” Wuwa will just start up automatically even when i dont have steam open. Is it something i’m doing?

Not only this runs flawless on the release day, it also runs FUCKING GOOD on Steam deck. I have tested in this same stage (second I think) and it reached above 60fps with frame gen on what in deed its a hell of optimization. So my most sincerely, THANK YOU CAPCOM <3

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right Thread.

as the title suggests I'm building my new PC and I'm kinda sick of Microsoft with all the bloatware, Unstable updates that f-cks up my games. I watched videos from Linus and GamersNexus and it seems that AMD systems performs better and my current build is PURE AMD.

How is it for you? How's the installation and support for STEAM? is it beginner friendly?

it's kinda overwhelming watching all tutorial videos about Distro's.

Thank you for your answers.

So after the installation it launched and I could click through the menus to set brightness and what not. But then there was an option to set graphics and I set it on "quality", game closed and now it wont launch. Any Ideas? .

- GE Proton 10-32

Hi all,

Swapped to a 9070XT today, which meant a driver update to get it smooth sailing. Tried to boot up BG3 but keep getting this: games attempts to start like so but no success. I've tried:

• Explicitly using X11, Wayland and Vulkan. No luck
• Skipping the launcher, no luck
• Using different proton versions, no luck
• Verifying game files, no luck

Build specs are:

• Intel i5-12600KF
• AMD Radeon 9070XT
• 64GB RAM
• XDG_SESSION_TYPE is Wayland
• OS is Ubuntu 22.04.5

This issue has only happened very recently, this game was working fine two months ago. Potentially a driver issue has now caused instability but short of that I don't know what else to try (short of a complete reinstall of the game). Any ideas from anyone?

Hace un par de dias que instale el RE2 remake, y un amigo me menciono que seria aburrido por no poder aplicarle mods, y bueno, despues de realizar una pequeña busqueda encontre a limo el cual es un mod manager directo con nexus lo cual resulta muy eficiente.
Por cierto, en el goverlay no detecta los sensores de mi grafica, ah que podria deberse esto?

Not a fact, just my opinion, but I think a game with server side anti cheat is less likely to be unsupported on linux. But is this true?

I have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro (actually 8 of them). I am trying to set up "battle pods" for burningman style campouts and I want the game to be intuitive to play. I have Mech Warrior 4 Mek Tek HD 2019 installed on Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.3 under Lutris and almost everything works great out of the box.

My biggest issue is that Axis 3 on the joystick is twisting and the game has that set for acceleration with seemingly no options to change this. It works, but it's not intuitive, especially when there is a little "throttle knob" already on the joystick. I figured out a little hack using QJoyPad to assign the "throttle knob" which is Axis 4 to keyboard functions that accelerate and decelerate so that works, but assigning anything to Axis 3 works but does not remove the game from additionally seeing that as acceleration/deceleration. I would like twisting to just turn your view and not mess with speed.

I was wondering if there was some way to get my computer to swap Axis3 and Axis4 before the game sees it. Or if there is some other trick to getting this to work.

Puts this box 3 times, then closes. I dont really know what I'm looking for and I cant find the error on google. OpenSUSE tumbleweed newest update and newest proton, proton ge and proton cachyos all throws the error for what used to work on that same proton version. Any ideas?

Shadows seem to exist in a big circle around me, based on where my camera is. Third image is what the range is supposed to look like. I'm on an Arc A770 and just started with Debian. Anyone have any insight?

Hi, I've been trying to get Skyrim working on my Linux laptop and running into a weird issue I can't find a solution for.

System: Acer Nitro AN515-54, Intel i5-9300H, NVIDIA GTX 1650 (discrete GPU), Nobara 43, KDE Plasma 6, PipeWire

What works fine: - FPS is normal and stable - UI is instantly responsive - Player-triggered sounds (footsteps, jumping, but not fighting) are immediate (if noone nearby is moving their lips) - Background ambient sounds play continuously with rare statters

The problem: All NPC speaking is delayed by approximately 5 seconds (lips move first, and only then there are subtitles and voice). Other NPC-triggered events and player using weapons are delayed even more (sometimes minutes). This includes NPC voice lines, combat sounds (weapon clashes, screams), and visual effects like hit blood splatter. Crucially, the sound and the visual effect always arrive together — so it's not an audio sync issue, it's the entire game event being delayed.

For example: during combat, everything is silent and no visual effects (spells are okay, but no on-screen blood splatters). Then several seconds after the fight ends, I hear all the sounds one by one with pauses between them, and simultaneously see blood splatter as if I'm still being hit.

Another example: in the starting carriage scene all these delays accumulate (lips, sound, then lips again). As a result, the dialogue lasts twice as long as it should. The carriage has already stopped but the wheels are still creaking and Ralof hasn't yet started speaking about Tullius who is already out of sight.

What I've already tried: - Vanilla game, no mods, no SKSE - Skyrim AE (1.6.1170) and downgraded to SE 1.5.97 - Proton 9.0, Proton Experimental, GE-Proton (latest) - X11 and Wayland sessions - PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 - WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_9=n,b;xaudio2_8=n,b;xaudio2_7=n,b" - Papyrus budget increased to 3ms and even to 30ms (log confirms it applies, VM shows no overload) - Blocked Bethesda.net in Wine hosts file - gamemode - PROTON_NO_FSYNC and PROTON_NO_ESYNC - SSE Engine Fixes with bLipSync=true (loads successfully per d3dx9_42.log)

Papyrus log shows no errors and the VM is not overloaded — maybe it's waiting for something rather than being too busy.

Has anyone seen this? Any ideas what could cause all game events to be delayed like this specifically under Wine/Proton?

The icing on the cake is that Red Dead Online has been playing just great for over a month.

I'm running Linux Mint 22.3.

Steam is installed via the system packages.

inxi:

PU: 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (-MT MCP-) speed/min/max: 3081/558/4208 MHz

Kernel: 6.17.0-14-generic x86_64 Up: 3h 4m Mem: 4.58/31.26 GiB (14.7%)

Storage: 1.62 TiB (31.0% used) Procs: 437 Shell: Bash

I don't feel like this is a video card / graphics issue as the game has launched (and does launch) without error(s).

vulkaninfo - doesn't appear to be in the system package manager,

glxinfo - dumps out a TON of info! Not sure if there are specific lines that would be helpful

Additional info:

Last night, after having played earlier in the afternoon, the game seems to refuse to connect to the service. The game launches as expected, the Rockstar launcher windows appear and close without erorrs. The online menu opens and I pick a join option. After the loading screens go by for around a minute, I get the message that the connection to Rockstar was lost.

At the same time, two other computers on the same network behind the same modem continue to work. I've played dozens of hours with all 3 machines online fine at once.

Other things I have tried while searching for possible solutions:

Renaming the compatdata folder and swapping from Proton 10.4 back to Proton Experimental - no luck.

I have made sure IPv6 is disabled in the wired connection settings.

I have disabled the firewall as a test. It was working fine with it on and I had the commonly recommended ports set to allowed as well.

Also, least desireable -- If I reboot into Windows, it works just fine.
