Any chances for League of Legends?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. Februar 2026 - 03:39

Currently LoL is the only game keeping me on the shitty OS and I just want to get rid off it. I recently heard about Barrier which might be an option but I'm not sure about the delays, so I'm delaying to test it out. It's completely dysfunctional on Linux due to Vanguard stuff, soooo... has anyone here had any success since Vanguard?

Performance Loss On Fedora KDE Plasma

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. Februar 2026 - 02:48

I recently made the jump from Windows to Fedora. It's been great so far, but I'm noticing like a 15-20% FPS drop in cyberpunk 2077. In Windows running with path tracing on I would hit 52 FPS, in Fedora I'm hitting 46. Like for like on settings, using Proton-GE 10-32 on the native version of Steam with the FSR 4 tag enabled, my gpu is a 9070 XT. Is there something like, super obvious I'm missing that's causing me to lose performance?

8BitDo controllers & Mint

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. Februar 2026 - 01:07

I'm running Mint 22.2 (kernel 6.17) and I have 2 8BitDo controllers; an SN30 Pro, and an SN30 Pro+.

I've tried pairing them in both Xbox (start+X) mode and Switch (start+Y) mode. They pair just fine and are recognized correctly in the Bluetooth manager, but I'm receiving no input from them. According to the device info tab, they appear to be paired but not connected, even though it says they are connected. Connecting with a USB cable yields the same result. I've tried to connect via DInput mode (start+B) and it shows paired AND connected, but still receiving no input at all from the controllers, even with the usb plugged in.

I do have xpadneo installed as well.

arch kde - no sound when playing until system reboot

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. Februar 2026 - 00:49

when im playing a more demanding game (it doesnt even need to be heavy, just peak or hytale is enough), the sound just stop working out of nowhere (sometimes it takes 5 min, sometimes 20, its random)

it was normal until 3 days ago when i ran pacman -Syu

just restarting pipewire etc does not fix it. i also tried disabling snd_hda_intel power saving, but that didnt help either

Can't install mods for Fallout New Vegas on Linux Mint

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Februar 2026 - 23:57

Is anyone here still using rockerbacon's MO2 installer? I've tried using it and everything went well (for the installation) but for some reason I'm getting an error message whenever I try to install a mod saying "Path does not exist". Is there a fix to It? Have I done something wrong? Or is there a better/updated way to mod New Vegas on Linux?

Проблема с запуском русификатора для Wuthering Waves

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Februar 2026 - 23:07

Всем привет! Кто может помочь? Я хотел поставить русификатор WuWaTPL для Wuthering Waves, но почему-то exe самого лаунчера не запускается при клике. Я запускал exe русификатора через Protontrick и так же доустановил dotnet7 и dotnet6 а ко всему этому ещё и Microsoft WebView2. Но тупо ничего не происходит при запуске русификатора. Ни ошибок, ни крашей, ничего.

Если что игру запускал через стим через GE-Proton 10-32, в настройках указалSTEAMDECK=1 %command%

Может кто сможет помочь? Будут очень вам благодарен!

I need advice.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Februar 2026 - 22:53

I am an ex-Windows user and a while ago I switched to Linux (I don't regret it), the thing is that I want to start playing games on Steam and other platforms like Blizzard, the thing is that I am not sure how optimized Linux is for video games (I use Linux Mint), I would like to know if there is an operating system based on Linux or an application to be able to play without problems.

EAC is coming to Rocket League; Linux will still be supported according to official announcement

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Februar 2026 - 22:32

I have a feeling the real reason they're doing this is to block bakkesmod's customization options, since it lets you use any customization for free (although its only locally so other players can't see it). Epic is very protective of their microtransactions, as they removed player-to-player trading not long ago.

Lets also hope that Linux support isn't quietly removed after all the good PR of them keeping it.

Low FPS on Diablo 4 Arch Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Februar 2026 - 21:48

Hey all, I own the game on battle.net and tried via Lutris and via Steam, with default runner and with proton GE (so 4 setups in total) and it's always the same: If I set everything to low end and FSR to ugly as hell, I get like 45 FPS. If I set everything to Max, I get around 37 FPS.

5800X3D, 32GB RAM, 6800XT 16GB

And it's not the VRAM leak either. For one I implemented the .conf fix, also the performance is that bad right from the start up.

Anyone any ideas? Considering buying the game via Steam, but there is no logical reason why it would run better (since I already have it run via Steam as described above, is there?). Is this just the way it is? Under Windows I had 90+ FPS with my setup, but Microsoft can fuck off so that's not an option.

Thanks for helping!

Mewgenics Performance terrible in House

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Februar 2026 - 21:48

Hi, bought Mewgenics today bc I thought it looks fun.

But I have a little problem, the game run super smooth, except when I’m in the house, in there it is a slideshow with maybe 10 frames per second.

Does anyone have an idea why it might be like this?

The four games I've been experiencing this in are Deep Sleep Trilogy, Don't Escape Trilogy, Peggle, and Plants vs. Zombies. I've tried switching to GE-Proton and setting the launch command

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winepulse.drv=d" WINEALSA_CHANNELS=2

To no avail.

I'm unable to install wine32; does libwine replace it, or is it not as good???

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Februar 2026 - 20:44

I am trying to set up linux so that I can play a game, and it says that I should install Lutris and Wine. I looked up how to install wine, and it told me to install wine32. I tried to, and it came up with this: Package wine32 is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

However the following packages replace it:

libwine

I already installed libwine. I hope I didn't screw everything up. Please tell me if I did and what to do. I have no idea how any of this works.

Postal 2 Stuttering Like Crazy

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Februar 2026 - 19:00

Hello, as you can see on the title, my Postal 2 (GOG version) is stuttering like crazy. I tried everything; wine, proton ge and experimental and running it natively (which should work because it has a platinum score on proton db). I even tried gamemode and gamescope.
Switched to OpenGL, still the same.

Nothing worked, my game is still stuttering a lot it's literally unplayable.

I use CachyOS. Got a Ryzen 3 3200U (2 cores 4 threads) and an apu Radeon Vega 3 graphics (2 gigabytes), also 8 gigabytes of ram. The game runned normally on windows 11 but won't work on linux.

I really love this game and I want to play it again. I would appreciate some help, thanks!
