I built a simple Cheat Engine SpeedHack–like tool on Linux (ZBLZ-engine)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. März 2026 - 18:14

I’ve been messing around with low-level stuff and decided to try building my own mini “Cheat Engine Speed-hack” from scratch, mainly as a learning project and cos i searched A LOT for a program that do this on Linux and i didn't found one.
I also made a page for it (is on Spanish):
https://maaron00670.github.io/ZBLZ-Engine/#inicio-rapido

It’s called ZBLZ-engine, and right now it can do basic speedhack and process interaction. The goal isn’t to compete with existing tools, just to understand how they actually work under the hood and have this with all the rest of my tools.

Still very early and kinda messy

I thought it might be interesting for someone that knows cheat engine or something.

If anyone’s curious or has ideas on what to add next, I’d love to hear it.

Here are some pictures of it:

World of Warcraft: weird blocky texture issue

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. März 2026 - 17:33

Hello everyone, first and foremost I would like to thank in advance anyone who would pitch in and try to help.

I have recently moved back to Linux onto Bazzite on my ASUS Laptop with an NVidia RTX 3060 dGPU.

Everything is going spectacular so far, the last drop was an issue on windows specifically with World of Warcraft where opening the Collections tab would cause the nvidia drivers on Windows to crash and sometimes never recover: I was glad to see that the same thing does NOT happen on Linux.

This afternoon though I've just started to notice this texturing issue and the I first noticed while farming some mines/herbs with my druid (last picture) and after I noticed it everywhere.

I initally attributed it to the Bazzite system update that I ran before launching WoW where it updated the NVidia drivers so I tried first to:

  1. Delete the folders in GLCache on the install folder of battlenet, thinking it was a shader issue
  2. change between Proton versions (GE latest 34, previous GE 33, Proton 10, Proton Experimental), deleting GLCache between each try, with no avail
  3. rollback Bazzite update, with no luck
  4. try different proton versions (as before) with the rollback update, deleting GLCache between each try, and still no luck

Now I have just reinstalled the update and I'm trying to find information about this issue online, with no luck at all (either my search engine kung-fu has weakened or the search engines have gotten worse), no luck on Bazzite Discord so here I am.

Last detail: WoW is running from the B.Net Launcher through Lutris

Thanks everyone!

Edit: of one thing I'm sure, yesterday and this morning it wasn't like that, so I can't wrap my head around what could have led to this.

RuneScape: Dragonwilds occasionally turns my monitor black, then off - turning my monitor back on fixes the issue.

I haven't seen the issue since adding PROTON_LOG=1, however it seems to be pretty rare so that's not surprising.

Issue:

For some reason, while playing RuneScape: Dragonwilds using DX12 (Vulkan is apparently buggy in this game according to Protondb), every once in awhile my screen will just turn black - then off... But if I turn it back on with the physical on button, everything works again. This isn't a huge issue, however it is annoying - especially if I'm mid-combat...

Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions for a fix?

Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. März 2026 - 15:56

I used to play Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour on Windows, and I relied on:

  • GenLauncher for mods
  • Radmin VPN to play online with friends

Now I’ve switched to Linux and I’m trying to recreate the same experience.

If anyone has tried running Zero Hour (or any C&C games) on Linux, I’d really appreciate your advice
Any tips or tools would help!

BG3MM not letting me export load order to game

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. März 2026 - 15:44

hello, I've had a frustrating time trying to get BG3MM to work for me. I'm a Linux and computer noob so bear with me. i have Linux mint cinnamon, and BG3 is installed through heroic games and GOG. I'm able to open BG3MM and add my mods but it wont let me export them to the game. it's also saying the script extender isn't installed when it definitely is, and that BG3MM is running as an administrator. i think i have the preferences set correctly:

Game Data Path: /home/user/Games/Heroic/Baldurs Gate 3/Data

Game Executable Path: /home/user/Games/Heroic/Baldurs Gate 3/bin/bg3.exe

Override App Data Path: /home/user/Games/Heroic/Baldurs Gate 3/Data

I've been scouring the internet and this is what i have on heroic games:

Wine Version: GE-Proton-Latest

WinePrefix Folder: /home/user/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Baldurs Gate 3

under advanced, i also have:

Select an alternative exe to run: /home/user/Games/Heroic/Baldurs Gate 3/bin/bg3.exe

Environment Variables: Variable Name WINEDLLOVERRIDES and Value "DWrite.dll=n,b" PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%

when i launch it through heroic, it doesn't even say the script extender is active, even though the file is right there in the bin folder. when i launch through BG3MM, it gives a notice that "Your load order is likely being reset..." and also doesn't load my Larian account info, unlike when i launch from heroic. pls help and pls explain any fixes you have to me like I'm an idiot!!

How to export coolercontrol settings

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. März 2026 - 15:11

I would like to distrohop and part of any installation for me is proper fan control. Is there specific files i can just copy paste into a new installation to set up coolercontrol? in the /etc/coolercontrol is a modes.json file but it only contains the modes name and some IDs. So it looks like there are no fan curves saved there

Grainy aspect on camera movement

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. März 2026 - 14:58

I would like to ask for directions about a problem i'm currently having with some steam games. I've recently migrated from Windows and it has been a good experience so far with linux. Although, some games on steam (War Thunder, Dead by daylight) produce a visual glitch when i move my camera horizontally (grainy aspect, blurred image) even after many tweaks on graphics settings.

None of the recent posts I've read about gaming issues on Linux matched this description, and I'm posting this in the hope of finding someone who has experienced something at least similar—and who might tell me whether there's a solution or if it's simply unsolvable.

Note: I'm currently using the NVIDIA 570 open driver on Ubuntu, which is the one that works best for most things (at least for me). I know NVIDIA drivers are a pain on Linux, and honestly, I'm not sure if this issue is caused by Proton—since it's emulating rather than running natively—or by the driver itself.

My spec:
Ryzen 7 5600G
RTX 5070
Gygabyte B450M Aorus
32G 3200MHz ddr4 RAM

Path of Exile 1 Performance Issues on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. März 2026 - 14:12

[I tried to post in r/pathofexile but for some reasons my post gets deleted by filters, hopefully here it will work]

My setup: RX 7900 GRE, AMD Ryzen 7600, 32 GB Ram DDR5.

I think I should be running Poe flawlessly at ultra settings, and yet in Deli+Beyond juiced maps my FPS plummet to 4-5 FPS which makes it pretty unplayable. Reducing resolution, setting Vulkan to Ultra Performance, doesn't change anything.

I have the feeling that it's more a CPU bound issue than a GPU issue, but it's just a feeling. I am on Linux Mint, and use GE Proton 10-32 (via Lutris).

Any other PoE players can share their experience and possible fixes?
