Quest 3 pcvr?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. April 2025 - 07:54

Before I buy a quest 3 with my birthday money I would like to know how it runs with the link cable on Linux.

Quest 3 - link cable - Linux PC

I'm upgrading from a HTC vive cosmos elite because it doesn't have Linux drivers and I haven't been able to play VR since may last year :'(

Game compatibility

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. April 2025 - 06:31

I've been using a modified Windows 10 operating system and I'm fed up with it, so I've decided to switch to Linux, primarily for gaming.

I have an HP Pavilion 15, 16GB of RAM, an Intel Core i7, and an NVIDIA MX 250.

I want to know if I can just install Linux and play games. I want to play TF2, Speedrunners, and PVZ Garden Warfare 2.

Pascal GPU on older games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. April 2025 - 06:10

Might be a dumb question but I have a 10xx series GPU and read that Pascal drivers will be legacy and won't get much support. I only play old titles like games from 2008-2015 mostly. I wonder if pascal GPUs works fine on linux or does it have a lot of drawbacks?

Strange issue with FFXVI, any thoughts?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. April 2025 - 06:03

Was trying the FFXVI demo (performance was surprisingly playable despite this issue), but after going into full screen (borderless or not), it seems like the game quickly just freezes on a frame until I alt tab out and back into the game. The game is still running, just isn't updating visually.

Specs

Operating System: Bazzite 41

KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0

Qt Version: 6.8.2

Kernel Version: 6.13.9-103.bazzite.fc41.x86_64 (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics

Memory: 15.0 GiB of RAM

Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon Graphics

Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 6700M

Manufacturer: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.

Product Name: Delta 15 A5EFK

System Version: REV:1.0

Tried running a few proton versions (9, 9 GE, experimental) same thing occurs.

Here's the log from a session: https://www.mediafire.com/file/6sto5bytistc76y/steam-2738000.log/file

This warning show up a lot, not sure of it's relevance:

1000.000:018c:0190:warn:vkd3d-proton:d3d12_device_QueryInterface: {a7aa6116-9c8d-4bba-9083-b4d816b71b78} not implemented, returning E_NOINTERFACE.

Any insight would be appreciated!

Graphics not loading after upgrade?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. April 2025 - 04:24

I just upgraded my setup from a Ryzen 5 3600 to the 7800x3d so I swapped everything from a am4 motherboard to an am5, my GPU is a 3060 so I expected some bottlenecking from what PC builds bottleneck calculator told me, but just not my games struggling to load certain graphics. So far I've tested the upgraded build with Helldivers 2 and Baldurs Gate 3, fps is stable it's just not loading or struggling to load certain graphics.

In helldivers 2, a bunch of different barriers and crates won't load their graphics. Not where they're silver or it's just missing their textures, they are straight up invisible.

Baldurs gate 3 also experienced some extremely slow loading on graphics when I load my save file even when I lowered the settings.

I updated my kernal, turned off secure boot, tried the three most current proton fixes and experimental and updated my Nvidia drivers.

Is there a setting I can change that I missed?

Cloud saves on heroic games launcher

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. April 2025 - 03:29

I'm thinking about switching to Linux but I have games that I played on the epic games launcher on windows 10 that have cloud saves there. I'm curious as to whether said saves would carry over if heroic games launcher was used on Linux. Haven't been able to find a straight answer for this entirely on this subreddit.

Need help with Limo and Pandora Engine!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. April 2025 - 03:11

This is the setup. I put Pandora as a mod into Data deployer, and then went into the staging directory, entered the executable and set Data as working directory.

Arguments like it says on the nexus page to output to a separate folder.

The app launches, but there are no animations in the top part, i have the XP32 skeleton installed, shouldn't that at least show up? I didn't yet add animation packs, but i don't remember it ever being empty...Then i click the "play" button for it to start, and it crashes with the code 134...

And yes, i deployed the mods.

This is the linux native version of Pandora.

Here's the log from limo:

2025-04-24 03:08:50 [Info]: Mods deployed 2025-04-24 03:08:54 [Info]: Running tool 'Pandora Behaviour Engine+' with command 'flatpak-spawn --host --directory="/home/veprovina/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim Special Edition/Data" "/home/veprovina/Games/Limo/Skyrim_staging/7/Pandora Behaviour Engine+" -o:"/home/veprovina/Games/Limo/Skyrim_staging/Pandora_Output/"' 2025-04-24 03:08:58 [Info]: Tool 'Pandora Behaviour Engine+' exited with return code 134

Why is it crashing?

Did i set it up properly?

Steam games being "shifted" visually

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. April 2025 - 01:37

Hey all, I'm pretty new to gaming on linux, so please let me know if I'm leaving out any important information, but I'll try my best to provide everything that should be necessary. I'm on NixOS running Qtile as my window manager, so I don't have any of the utilities from something like Gnome by default. I typically open games in my first workspace using the "Max" layout, and in my qtile config I have it sent to always show my panel at the top of the screen (I think this is probably my issue but I'm not sure if there's a fix). I haven't made any tweaks to how the game launches, just using whatever version if Proton Steam is defaulting too. Additionally, when the game is starting, I skip the "Loading Vulkan shaders" prompt because it was also happening when I launch Enshrouded, but didn't actually load anything after ~20 minutes and I've never had an issue skipping this step.

I installed Last Epoch toady to play with some friends while we wait to see what happens to Path of Exile, but I have an issue where the game feels like it's shifted from where it should be, I've noticed this with The Bazaar too, and is causes me to have to click slightly above where the interact should be. For larger buttons that's not really a problem of course, but on small loot drops in a game like Last Epoch it makes clicking things quickly or accurately pretty difficult.

You can see that the bottom of the \"shop\" button is cut off

I can't actually screen shot my whole screen because flameshot doesn't work properly for me (unrelated but wow is it annoying and haven't had much help from the maintainer), but the "shop" button on the bottom of the mana pool is cutoff during gameplay. I can't get a screenshot with my cursor as well, but I have to hover above the wrist of the statue to actually highlight and click the button.

Is there some way to launch the game where it's shifted back up a number of pixels, or toggle some in-game graphics setting to force the game to figure out that the screen doesn't match? Or is the only answer to adjust my WM config to hide my panel while games are open?

Automating Game Servers on Linux.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. April 2025 - 00:35

Hey,

Just have been planning on maybe starting a online hosting company. I've managed to get domains automated via Plesk etc. But I'm also wanting game servers, I was looking into LinuxGSM and not quite sure if that's the way to go. Haven't really dealt with automation too much, but any general directions or advice will go a long way for automation for game servers.

Mount and blade warband does not open

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. April 2025 - 00:24

Hi, yesterday I made a post asking for help to change the language of Mount & Blade: Warband, which I managed to do, but now the game won’t launch. I try to start it, and Steam shows it's running, but then it closes and the "Play" button appears again. I’ve already reinstalled the game, but it still won’t open.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Obliviom

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. April 2025 - 22:45

Hello.

I played The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remastered and it didn't run very well on my desktop.

I'm using Ubuntu 22.04LTS with the latest drivers.

I'm playing at max settings at 1080p, and the open world game ran at 32 FPS and maxed out at 38-39 FPS.

Sometimes the game crash too.

My config: Ryzen 7 3700x 24GB DDR4 2400Mhz RTX 4090.

I see the protondb, but not see any special config for oblivion yet.

Someone played the game? Any config to improve the performance?
