Nobara crashing my system every other update

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. April 2026 - 14:52

Hi guys, as the title suggests I switched to Nobara about 8 months ago and I loved it. It was easy to set up I got the KDE environment and it was smooth sailing. Started playing my games from steam, almost no issues.

However after a few updates my system started to crash, one time it was just a black screen, the other time the resolution was set to something really low like 640x400, it was similar to safe mode and it was locked, I couldn't change it. The last time it was again a black screen with only the mouse visible.

I cannot understand what's going on, I'm running "sudo dnf update" and then I updated the flatpacks I have installed like Spotify and Discord using the update app.

I'm new to Linux in general and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if the system is at fault. I have an all AMD set up, R5600 and RX 6800xt, MSI B550 WIFI and 16gb of ram with 1tb ssd + 2 hdds. I downloaded the AMD iso, when I originally installed Nobara and I was on windows and I formatted the ssd during the install.

Now I can't access my PC at all, when the system would break in the past I'd just boot to a previous version during start up and that would fix the issue, this is no longer the case. I don't have anything important on my ssd besides games so I could re-install but I want to just access the PC.

I need some advise, has anyone have had these issues as well? Am I the idiot? Did I break something when I updated via the terminal and then with the update tool? Would you recommend another distro like Cachy or Bazzite? I liked Nobara, but if this keeps happening I would want to hop distros.

Guide to running Resident Evil 1 GOG on linux without mods

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. April 2026 - 13:10

There are many guides on the internet, but some of them are outdated due to the requirement of dgvoodoo2, which disappeared from lutris or require the installation of mods. After searching for information, I want to summarize it here, for people who want to play classic resident evil with video and without installing mods. The game was launched on fedora kde 43 through heroic launcher.

  1. After installation, you need to go to the game settings in heroic and add this to the launch parameters: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw,dinput". Without ddraw, the game may not start, giving the error "Some of the data have been damaged. Please run Setup again.", and diunput for the gamepad to work properly.
  2. The game will start, but there will be no video and here the difficult part begins. There are only two ways to make video work in RE1 on linux: the classicRebirth mod, which processes videos and changes their format, or adding the mcavi32.dll file to the game folder and adding mciavi32=n,b to the launch parameters. In general, it should be like this: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw,dinput,mciavi32=n,b"

The only problem is that this dll can only be obtained in Windows, so you will have to download it from the Internet. Personally, I downloaded it from this site https://www.dllme.com/dll/files/mciavi32/versions. Please note that the file architecture must be x86 - 32 Bit, not x64 - 64 Bit

After adding mcavi32.dll to the game folder along with changing the launch parameters, the game starts and all videos are played without installing all kinds of mods, etc.

I hope this helps someone

Overwatch stuttering - Launching through battle.net launcher via steam

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. April 2026 - 12:26

I am using linux mint, I launch overwatch via steam using this method (Option 2)

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/guides/view/how-to-install-battle-net-on-linux-steamos-and-steam-deck-for-world-of-warcraft-and-starcraft/#steam

The game stutters, for what seems like a long time until it caches everything into ram/gpu ? Even then it still stutters randomly at times.

Not sure whats going on, but any ideas on how to resolve this? Tried switching to DX 12 and it didn't make any difference.

Using a Nvidia 4060, have 32GB ram, i7-10700KF

Audio issue on pipewire

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. April 2026 - 11:56

i have an issue on pipewire. it could also be easy effects causing it. on certain window switches a popping sound plays and it also happens some times when gaming but kinda rare and only on cachyos. kubuntu is worse with having full audio glitches where a voice of someone starts clutching and sounding robotic when it shouldn't. Should I switch to windows, fix it somehow or just not care about it?

I made another post and one guy gave me some commands I didn't find a way to use

CS2 Performance feels off

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. April 2026 - 11:33

Hi, i am running CS2 on Endeavour for some time now. I get really nice FPS on my rig (250-340fps), which is more than on Windows.

But somehow it still feels off, and stuttery. I notice this especially when spraying. It just doesn't feel right, i cant control it properly. On Windows it feels better straight away. I am fairly high-elo and got 5k hours in the game on Windows. This is definitely no placebo.

I am using an RTX3070 and AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core with 64GB RAM.

My launch command is LD_PRELOAD="" gamemoderun %command%

I am using the proprietary gpu drivers with "Preferred Mode: Prefer Maximum Performance".

Currently on GNOME, but KDE resulted in the same off-feeling.

Anybody experiencing similar issues? Thanks in advance!

video buffer overflow

I have only one problem with Mortal Kombat 1: when I run it through Proton or ProtonGE, my buffer quickly overflows and performance drops. On Windows, 5.2-5.7 GB max. On Linux, 6+ GB, no matter what settings I use. I've tried different distributions and different driver versions. HP Victus RTX 3050 6GB What can I do to prevent the video buffer from overflowing?

Cyberpunk 2077 highest graphics setting with ReShade works surprisingly well on CachyOS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. April 2026 - 11:23

Here's a screenshot of my game, albeit Dreampunk shaders dropped my fps down to around 60 fps, I think the improvements of the graphics is worth it.

My spec:

proton-CachyOS-10.0 AMD R7 5800X RAM: 32 GB RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Display: 5120x1440

Frame gen:
for DLSS frame gen to work properly in linux I had to grab the latest release zip from: https://github.com/NVIDIA-RTX/Streamline/releases And then copy all the .dll files from the bin/x64 folder into steamapps/common/Cyberpunk 2077/bin/x64 and overwrite the existing ones.

ReShade:
The dxgi.dll packaged in dreampunk crashes the game, so I installed reshade with https://github.com/asafelobotomy/reshade-steam and add the WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" launch option suggested by it's installer.

after enabling HDR, this is my final launch option

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" PROTON_DLSS_FG_OVERRIDE=1 DXVK_NVAPI_DRS_NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=RENDER_PRESET_K PROTON_LOCAL_SHADER_CACHE=1 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 game-performance dlss-swapper %command% --intro-skip -skipStartScreen --launcher-skip submitted by /u/arslan2012
