so i was trying to figure out the reason for the lag and stuttering I was getting in CK3 on Linux. I tried switching between DX11 and vulkan, but nothing helped. Then I stumbled onto this weird fix that literally tripled my FPS. I restarted the system and jumped straight into the game the second it booted. Once I was in, I toggled (Advanced Shader Effects)off which made the graphics look like a straight up PS2 port. then truned it back on. For some reason it worked and i am playing on a 100+ fps rn
( took me 3 days to figure this weird shit btw https://imgur.com/a/GeJm8eR )

I've been thinking about moving from windows to linux for a while now but the risk of getting banned from games like Overwatch, League Of Legends always manages to make me rethink switching, is Linux ever going to be "sanctioned" by online games or are we stuck with windows if we want to play online?

MangoHud is basically my go-to when it comes to keeping an eye on Linux gaming performance, one of those must-have utilities and a new release is out now.

I saw a good handful of people commenting yesterday about how unacceptable it is for the game to be borked yesterday. Some said they refunded the game. Some raged about DRM breaking it.

Proton Hotfix fixed it, not Pearl Abyss.

Are y'all doing OK today? Willing to go 0-100 like that is a bit much.

So basically I've found physical copies of the first Stalker Trilogy. But since installing old DVDs seems more obnoxious I went for a Fitgirl repack instead and tried to run it via Lutris. I get the Launcher, select Shadow of Chernobyl and it launches the Game, I get a short black screen and then a crash. Idk how to access the log, only option I get is to "Send report" (which probably would go nowhere) and I'm honestly out of ideas on how to make that shit work.

I use Arch btw

Hello, /r/linux_gaming !

I wanted to know your opinion on a strange behaviour of Against the Storm (but I'm ready to bet I will encounter the same anomaly in other games). I'm currently playing on Bazzite via Heroic Launcher (game is purchased on GOG). Here's the full system info if you want to have a deeper read, but I recommend to read the whole post first.

The strange behaviour is that the game starts at 60+FPS but as soon as I enter a scenario the framerate caps at 18FPS (pic 1), no matter what the ingame graphic options are (ie: changing resolution, model/texture quality or removing dynamic lighting doesn't improve FPS at all). I tried many tweaks, like enabling feral gamemode or switching to steam runtime, to no avail...

Until I forced the VSync to half the screen refresh rate, via the game options menu: this led to a stable 30FPS rendering, with a flickering frametime (pic 2 - one frame is slow, but the next is quick enough to compensate for the first one's delay), again regardless of the rendered image quality. I already read online that Wayland has some forced VSync issues, so I ensured to enable the screen tearing for fullscreen applications into the system settings, but this seem to have no effect.

I renounced playing the game for some time, but yesterday I had a random idea and started trying the older proton and protonGE versions. Much older versions lead to crashes at launch, or immediately after entering the main menu, but Proton7 actually managed to run the game at a stable framerate of 60FPS (pic 3).

The question I have for you, my dear reddit, is simple... Do you have any idea why is this happening? :-) I'm interested in pinpointing the culprit of this behaviour, so that if another game does this AND it happens to crash with Proton7, at least I know where to start digging.

Thank you very much!

PS: if you want to have a read at the proton logs let me know in the comment and I'll post them!

EDIT: added a phrase

Hello there!

I've been running CachyOS for ~2 months now as my first distro, and I've just run into the first gaming problem I can't seem to find a fix to. The gist of it is, when I compare how CP2077 runs on my dual boot W11 Pro to Cachy, there are about 20 fps less on Linux.

I understand that Linux is bound to have some problems, especially with RT, but almost everywhere I look people say that nowadays the performance should be on par with Windows or slightly worse. It appears to be confirmed with various benchmarks I've seen on the internet. 20 fps is not "slightly worse", so I guess there may be something wrong with my setup?

Every other game I tested worked great. For instance, had 0 problems with Crimson Desert or MH: Wilds.

I run CP2077 epic version through heroic launcher.

I tried every possible environment variable I could find in this subreddit and protondb with little to no effect. The same goes for different proton versions: cachyos, GE34, GE34, experimental, hotfix.

Is there anything else I could check, or should I just accept that this particular game won't run for me as well as on W11?

Thanks for any tips!

Tested via in-game benchmark tool: 3440x1440, same settings (ultra RT, FSR quality, no FG):
W11: ~67 fps
CachyOS: ~47 fps

System specs:
OS: CachyOS x86_64
Kernel: Linux 7.0.0-1-cachyos
DE: KDE Plasma 6.6.4

Board: TUF GAMING X570-PLUS
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT
RAM: 32 Gb, 3600 MHz

OpenGL: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 26.0.5-arch2.4
Vulkan: 1.4.335 - radv [Mesa 26.0.5-arch2.4]

I had enough of needing to reinstall the EA app and titanfall 2 through faugus every 2 days because it just refuses to launch after that so I bought the game in steam but I can't even launch the game because it crashes with every proton I threw at it

Hey Reddit Linux_Gaming community.

I got a question for you guys! Currently I'm running Nobara, on a 5950X, with a 7900XTX and my monitor is a 49in 2K ultrawide ROC (I actually do not remember what model, I'm not next to my personal desktop, willing to let people know when I'm on if they want). I've had zero issues with it, but I've been wanting to upgrade to a OLED since prices are finally reasonable and tech for burn-in has gotten A LOT better. I was still wanting to keep it an ultrawide (but totally willing to downside to something a bit smaller (but not smaller than 34in cause fuck bezzels in the middle of the screen :D).
That being said, I was wondering what monitors you guys are running and opinions on which ones have been working well (and not so well obviously) for you guys.
Do not get me wrong, I don't exactly have a budget for this thing, but there is also no way I'm going to spend 1K on it either. I do still need to do some of my own research still its not something I'm purchasing tomorrow, its more of a ..... 6 months from now kinda purchase since my current monitor is working almost perfectly (KVM in it kinda doesn't exactly want to play nice for some reason, but I got a really nice one from Level1 Tech that totally dose the amazingly).
Oh, this will be primarily for gaming, but I do plan to purchase a second monitor cause I want to start learning to program in Rust (I am not a programmer at all... so it will be a lot of... self teacher).
Anyways, chime in and let me know.

Hey everyone! Some of you may remember my tool hyprfreeze, a script to automate quickly suspending games in Hyprland.
A lot changed since then and that tool evolved past Hyprland and became wl-freeze.

It's a lot more reliable now and has some new features, including support for other Wayland compositors, so I thought it would be worth it to post again.

Useful to:

• Pause single-player games that can't normally be paused (Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, ...)
• Pause cutscenes to read the subtitles or if you suddenly need to leave your desk
• Save system resources (excluding RAM) if you need them for another computer task, or if the game's pause menu uses too many

Currently supported compositors

• Hyprland
• Sway
• Niri
• And more! Learn how you can easily make it work on your compositor too, and how you can help, in the README.

Does anyone know a way to reliably use Ubisoft Connect?

Half my Assassin's Creed library, as well as Watch Dogs 2, are only available there. And I'm desperate to get those games back, but not desperate enough to go back to Windows. However, I don't see any other options, since even Lutris let me down on this one, returning installer exit code 1280 IIRC. I don't know what to do, I feel like I'm basically robbed of all the games I had there.

My gaming OS is BazziteOS if it matters.

I started using Faugus Launcher as I needed a simple alternative to Steam in order to have my prefixes and save files in a folder that could be later recovered and restored via Ludusavi. My last (and only) issue is that Faugus Launcher prefix folder is not detected by Ludusavi (in my sd is home/deck/Faugus).

Anyone has been able to add the whole Faugus folder (instead of custom games in an individual basis) and could provide some help?
