Does anyone know if any work is being done in VKD3D for less VRAM usage?
Hello! :)
I recently bought a 5070M laptop with 8 GBs of VRAM. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth fills up that VRAM even on the lowest settings after like 5 mins of gameplay. On Windows I can play in 4K Max Settings with 0 issues. But I don't like Windows. XD
Is any work being done in VKD3D, or maybe the Nvidia drivers, so less VRAM is used in games or should I just return this laptop and buy a 5070 Ti one?

Help getting a non-Steam game to work with VR
I'm trying to get Star Citizen VR to work with my Vive Pro. I'm running CachyOS.
I've got SteamVR up and running nicely. Most of my VR games on Steam work beautifully. I installed SteamVR using Pacman.
I've got Star Citizen running as well. There's a lovely community call the Star Citizen Linux User Group with a lot of very helpful guides. I used Paru to install a package from AUR to help with this.
Launching Star Citizen in VR mode involves selecting an option in RSI launcher. I have that option enabled. When I launch the game, however, it doesn't launch in VR. It doesn't seem like Star Citizen is finding my VR device.
There's a brief mention of VR on SCLUG that says to use Monando, so I've been tinkering with that without a lot of success. I don't think I've got Monando working right. I installed it using the Envision package on AUR. When I click the "calibrate" button, my screen flashes a few times but it doesn't give me much indication that anything is happening. If I click "start", it just seems to hang. I've tried these things both with and without SteamVR running.
Does anybody have any insights here? What am I doing wrong? I've seen a few posts on various corners of the internet that make it sound like other people have successfully gotten Star Citizen to run in VR on Linux, so I'm fairly certain it is possible.
Edit: I restarted my computer and it seemed to help a little bit with Envision. Now when I click Start it seems to get further along. It now says "Service ready, you can launch XR apps" in green text. It's still not being found by Star Citizen, though.

Keep getting this error when trying to run Doom eternal.
I have been trying to play Doom eternal on Linux mint 22.2 and have been running into the same issue when trying to open it. When running from steam, it lets me open the launcher, and plays the first few seconds of the Bethesda logo if I'm lucky, then crashes, displaying this text before removing all of the processes. I am also using proton 10.0-4

Optiscaler-Client for Linux
Hello everyone! There has been a lot of interest lately around Optiscaler and its auto-installers lately as seen here on Reddit and on Ancient Gameplays' YouTube channel here. It's a pretty cool application, but it lacked Linux support. So I decided to overhaul it so that it can run on Windows AND Linux.
Here is my latest release! Just read the instructions on the README and download the corresponding package for your setup and install.
On startup, it automatically detects compatible games that you have installed and lists them for a quick auto-install. The compatibility filter syncs with Optiscaler's compatibility list which you can toggle and refresh in the settings. You can also quickly uninstall Optiscaler as well and it shouldn't leave any of its files behind.
This is still an early work in progress, but I've thoroughly tested the most common use cases for bugs, but if any still pop up please be sure to let me know!

DOOM 2016 Low FPS
Running DOOM 2916 on a basic Linux Mint 22.2 and Proton 10.0-4 but only getting ~25 fps? Everything I've looked at on ProtonDB says it should out the box and all the issues I see people get on there aren't related to mine. So I am not sure what to try? Any ideas? I'm using and AMD RX6600

Modding Fallout New Vages
so modding FNV on Linux is easier said than done, none of the mod managers work natively and individually setting up 80+ mods for basic smooth gameplay would be a nightmare.
my question is, if I set up a VM of windows with my steam account and download FNV and then mod it via Nexus. would it be viable to then cut and paste the modded game files onto my main OS, since steam runs on its own windows comparability layer?
I feel like I'm missing something and I figured I'd ask before dropping 5 hours onto something I have no clue about.

Help with RE9 crashing
Hello
I recently installed RE Requiem on my CachyOS system from steam
here are my specs
I was running into an issue where the game would crash at the beginning and get an unhandeled exception popup but managed to solve it by adding a dinput8.dll file from reframework mod which got me to the main menu. However, the game is laggy and crashes a minute after being in the menu. my gpu and cpu aren't utilized that much based on this screenshot
I tried using proton experimental, 10, hotfix, and steamlinux options in the steam properities game settings but same outcome. my current launch command is just enabling mangohud overlay
I have seen a lot of users who managed to get the game running but I wasn't able to replicate their success.
I didn't run into this issue when I played RE 4 Remake using the same setup so it seems weird for me
what am I missing in my current setup??

I want to upload them to my Google Drive, but i will have to take a bus in 1 and a half hours

Not sure if Linux or just bad luck.
Upgraded my computer a few months ago, bought literally the fastest CPU money can buy (within reason) Ryzen 7 9800X3D, paired with a GPU that is also very capable (on paper) AUSUS TUF Gaming RTX3080ti and doubled my RAM speed to 32gb at 6000mhz.
I even slapped on one of the best water coolers (according to Hardware Unboxed) as an "upgrade" to my BeQuiet air cooler, the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360.
I never had issues with temps or noise in my previous build with the 3080ti running very cool and a Ryzen 7 3700 also running very decent temps.
But after all these upgrades and over £2000 spent, I am getting terrible fps in many games (Star Citizen, Gray Zone Warfare, Arma Reforger, Helldivers 2...), poor performance, bugs and glitches at every turn.
With this new build I decided to try Linux and find out there is lackluster support for Nvidia cards... My CPU temps are through the roof, the water cooler fans are extremely noisy and ramp up to 100% regularly while gaming... Even at idle my computer is noisy (and yes I have tried tweaking the fan curves)
I've never known a CPU to run so hot, I even bought top of the line thermal paste as I always do...
My computer boots up slower than before and getting anything fixed is twice the work as it was on Windows, though probably because I am new to Linux.
This is definitely the last time I am ever building my own PC, after 20 years of building my own rigs I have never had a more stressful time putting something together or fixing software problems.
Maybe I am just getting old.

Steam os 3.9 runs on Intel Arc 770
Wanted to see if it was possible. Ran a few games and they seemed to work as well as they did on bazzitte.
Had intermittent issues with sound over HDMI. Same as other Linux distros. Hopefully active display port to HDMI will fix that and maybe add cec
Seems like os outputs 4k to tv but games run at 1080p by default. Can be fixed in the menu to set maximum game resolution but annoying to do for each game
Waiting for bigger games to download to run some benchmarks
Trick was to use a recovery image, not an system image from the repo https://steamdeck-images.steamos.cloud/steamdeck/
