Just Cause 4 is giving me a lot of trouble with regular freezes (deadlock from Proton log err:sync:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0000000035DE7E40 "?" wait timed out in thread 0160, blocked by 0138, retrying (60 sec))

I tried a ton of different launch options, clocking down ram speed 3600 > 3433, different proton v. (7.0-6, 8.0-5, 9.0-4, Hotfix, Experimental, Proton-GE 10-32 etc) but a completely freezeless gaming sessions seems not possible. If you play in Linux without regular freezes or crashes i would love some input or ideas how to get to that point. I am simply out of ideas and almost ready to accept that the game will just inevitably freeze after some time ( usually 40-90mins).

If you of other subs or sites where i could find some answers that would help as well.

My setup for reference:

• Kubuntu 25.10
• Ryzen 5 5600XT
• RX 7600 OC 8GB
• 32GB 3600MT/s Ram

Hello, I'm using an Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti GPU. When I played Resident Evil 4, the ray tracing feature worked fine, but in Resident Evil 9, the ray tracing option doesn't appear at all.

I have the nivida-open-dkms driver installed and I'm using Proton-GE 10-32. Do I need to add any additional launch options?

Here are the launch options I am currently using:
VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11,dxr PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NGX_UPDATER=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command%

I'm running a heavily modded OpenMW Morrowind installation and had to spend quite a bit of time to eventually figure out that a patch didn't work correctly as due to differing capitalization the original file didn't get replaced. I came across some fuse-overlay solution which can solve the issue virtually, but I rather don't have to go back looking whether I should use ./s3/player.lua or ./S3/player.lua and fix this directly when installing a new mod. I guess I can write a script to decapitalize everything and also apply that to every mod before installing, but that feels like a hassle.

Is there a way to set my Morrowind folder (or complete system if needed) to treat different capitalized files as the same file and get a pop up to replace/skip when duplicates are made?

So I recently switched to Linux 2 months back and I have used Nobara which is a fedora fork and now currently daily driving cachy OS which is the arch fork. For me atm, linux isn't that hard and I was able to optimize my laptop and play games and troubleshoot with the help of the community, wiki and some AI.

But i have been hearing about Gentoo, Void and Bedrock os and each of them seems special in their own ways.

Gentoo and linux from scratch uses compiling, from what I hear , it improves your performance? But heard it takes a long time as well. Then there is void which doesn't use systemD and ppl like to because it uses runit. And bedrok is the mixture of all the distros?

Can someone explain to me what are their advantages and disadvantages?

I only get Tctl and TCCD1 via sensors. My motherboard is an Asus PRIME B650M-A AX II. Would like to figure out how to find the Tdie, as it’s the only sensor I monitored that I’m missing. This is after sensors-detect as well, using both the CLI sensors command and Psensor.

System:

- Dell Precision 7560, Intel i7-11850H, NVIDIA T1200 Laptop GPU (Optimus)

- Ubuntu 24.04

- Steam (GE-Proton 10-32)

Problem:

Game freezes completely mid-battle, roughly 1-3 minutes in. Main thread locks up, audio loops on the last sound, process has to be force-killed. Desktop stays fully responsive, only the game process hangs. No kernel panic, no GPU hang, nothing in dmesg. python.log just stops mid-battle with no error or exception.

Current launch options:

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=0 DXVK_ASYNC=1 WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY=8:0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 gamemoderun mangohud %command%

What I've already tried — issue persists regardless:

- Mods enabled vs disabled

- NTSYNC enabled vs disabled

- NVAPI enabled vs disabled

- Proton Experimental, Proton Hotfix, Proton 9.x, GE-Proton various versions

Has anyone managed to run WoT stable on a similar setup? Any launch options or Proton version known to work?

Lately I installed Minecraft in the latest version in arch linux. However, I got the exact same issues as here: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1lfti4d/graphical_issue_with_minecraft/ . After I decided to open a modloader to check if it was better and indeed the arm bug was fixed but the black lines between the blocks and a kind of allucinations happening in the water. I tried back the vanilla and then got what you see on the video. If you know any fix pls comment it. Thanks.
