Lutris showing game as "Missing"

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22. November 2025 - 13:29

Whenever I open up Lutris Minecraft is being displayed as "Missing". It runs fine and I don't think it's because it's uncategorized.

How can I set my main GPU?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22. November 2025 - 13:20

I have a build with two GPUs, one 3070 Ti and one 2060. Before installing the 2060 every game was okay, but since I've installed it all games crash. I believe it's because it's using the 2060 as primary card when it shouldn't. How can I fix this and choose my 3070 Ti as primary?

Running Skyrim + Heroic + Modding (Vortex) on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22. November 2025 - 13:12

Hoping someone will find this use-full. Skyrim and Fallout 4 are games, that give me the most fun because of modding. Building a stack, play the game until it crashes and start over. Linux has always been a no-go area because modding has always been a pain. This time, I hope to have found a good solution.

I own Skyrim AE from the GOG store, installed it through heroic and noticed that Heroic installed it at its toplevel which is ~/Games for me. I also noticed that Heroic created a prefix in its default path where other software is installed.

I created a Games folder in the default path drive_c folder and moved the Skyrim folder to drive_c/Games/.

My experience is that Skyrim crashes if started from Vortex or MO2 if the game. path is exotic like, Z:\home\[username]\...... So in this setup I installed vortex in the drive_c where skyrim can be found and skyrim (SKSE) can be launched from Vortex (or Heroic) without crashing.

Other usefull tips are welcome!

Driving simulator fanatec club sport v2.5 support

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22. November 2025 - 12:10

Hey there, my brother found a "fanatec club sport v2.5" driving simulator, and asked me to make him a pc to play with it. I was wondering if it's supported on Linux, playing with Steam, and maybe what distro should I install for him (he is not a power user).

Thank you everyone!

How has the hibernate mode evolved on Linux laptops?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22. November 2025 - 12:03

Hi,

I was a hardcore Linux user in the 2010's while I was in college then starting my career. I since moved to MacOS and Windows (with WSL) but I'm considering getting a Linux laptop.

One of my favorite features on MacBooks is the amazing startup times and sleep/hibernate modes. I only needed to restart my MacBook once every couple months or so, and it only takes a couple second to leave hibernation mode.

I'd like to know if the situation has gotten better on Linux laptops over the past few years. It's probably better than Windows from what I'm seeing on gaming handheld reviews as people are able to easily pause a game and resume after the device went on sleep mode. But in general, how often do you need to restart your laptop or how often does it restart automatically when you put it in hibernate mode every day?

Thanks

How does the display thing even work?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22. November 2025 - 10:44

Hi everyone,

So I am new to gaming on linux, and I recently had a spate of terrible game crashes, since then I have improved my setup - thanks to a lot of the tips I read here. So I am very grateful for the help I received.

I was wondering if someone can explain this thing to me - I normally plug my display to my GPU (2080 super) with HDMI because I have a lot of HDMI cables, I do not have any Display Port cables because my cousin stole them. Should I get new Display port cables? Anyway, while trying to fix my crashes, I had plugged my display into my motherboard and I noticed that in a "hybrid" setup my BIOS was stuck on CPU Graphics and not changing to PEG even when I changed it in the BIOS (asus z490). However, this was on the Manjaro 5x LTS kernel but not the 6x (non LTS) kernel. Second, does it make a difference on performance where I plug the display - GPU or Motherboard - if I select the GPU as primary graphics? How does it even work when the monitor is plugged into Motherboard and not GPU? I am so confused by this whole tech.

Next, on windows I used to use xtreme tuner for OC and was wondering if someone can recommend the best ones for Linux. I normally run my script to tab temperatures when i play, but if there is an app for that, let me know. And I was wondering how people monitor game crashes, because when my games were crashing, it was not getting picked up on journalctl.

Anyway, I apologise for this general tech support question, I am not sure if it is against rules.

Happy Weekend!

steam machine, linux, and anti-cheat

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22. November 2025 - 10:40

do you think if the steam machine does well enough it'll force anti cheats to allow linux? ive recently switched to omarchy on my laptop and I love it, the only thing stopping me from putting it on my main pc, my most played games are rust and battlefield. I can only hope some changes come soon, but what do you guys think?

What is the fix again for steam game icons showing as the default icon? I remember finding the solution in the past but now when I search I'm unable to find the one that worked for me

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22. November 2025 - 10:39

Okay so I just fixed this a month ago, but I did a system restore and now I'm trying to remember how I did all this.

I remember I had to edit some desktop file, and then set the value of a certain field to the name that shows up when you hover over the game like in this screenshot.

Does anyone know this specific fix I'm talking about? What are the exact steps? Thank you. Trust me I did search all over but I can't seem to land on the same thread I did in the past

Steam Input not working with Wayland driver even when using the -steamos3 argument in Steam

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22. November 2025 - 10:15

I can't get my DualSense Pro to work through Steam Input when I'm using the Wayland driver in Proton-GE or Proton Cachy-OS. I've read online that running Steam with steam -steamos3 is supposed to fix this issue, but for me it does nothing. Some games work with my DualSense, but it seems they're reading raw input from my controller and not from the virtual Xbox 360 controller Steam Input is supposed to create. Another thing that confirms this is if I remap a DualSense button to a keyboard key, the game records the keypress, so Steam Input is somewhat working in that case.

Running games without the Wayland driver obviously fixes the issue, but I lose HDR support.

I know I can run my games in gamescope to keep both HDR and gamepad support, but I'd like to stop using it because it's causing performance issues.

Baldur's Gate 3 texture load?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22. November 2025 - 09:47

Random question - I've gotten all my games set up in Steam and Heroic and so far everything I've tried runs great in Ubuntu... except Baldur's gate 3. It's incredibly slow, and you can sit and watch the surface textures slowly appear one by one. It starts and runs, but is unplayable. But, it runs smooth and fast on the exact same computer when rebooted into Windows. AMD Ryzen 7, btw.

Anyone familiar with this issue?

I can just reboot into Windows when I want to play but I'd rather avoid it if possible, it's a pain.
