death stranding 2 issue

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. März 2026 - 18:38

The game seems to run pretty perfect for me during gameplay since switching to proton experimental but during cutscenes it freezes and becomes entirely unresponsive. Does anyone know a fix for this?

Worried about Crimson Desert performance with AMD (9070xt)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. März 2026 - 17:57

From what I'm seeing, this game is RT heavy and not any better with RT off. Were really relying on ray regeneration and RT to smooth this game out and even being an AMD sponsored game, its running better on Nvidia. Will we even see ray regeneration on Linux any time soon? Will it be baked in game? I'm really looking forward to it but having doubts after seeing benchmarks ran. Im using Cachy os with a 9070xt / 7800x3d. What do you think? Anyone else worried?

Death Stranding 2 fix

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. März 2026 - 17:33

If you get the winevulkan loader_thunks.c error on Bazzite in Steam running Death Stranding 2, just try changing Proton to 'proton-cachyos-10' using ProtonPlus or any similar tool. For me, it instantly fixed the issue.

Death Stranding 2 Performance

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. März 2026 - 17:09

Just picked this up, I know it's launch day so there are probably quirks and issues, but I've been getting some serious stutters and was wondering if anyone has been experiencing the same? typically these stutters are occurring when I am moving around, or turning the camera, and the overall performance doesn't seem to line up with my specs.

Nobara Linux KDE v43

NVIDIA 4070 Super

7800x3d

Don't typically have problems with other titles.

Crimson Desert

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. März 2026 - 16:42

Hello Linux gamers, I was wondering if Crimson Desert is compatible with Linux. I've checked protondb.com, but I haven't found any reviews yet. Has anyone here had the opportunity to try the game and can confirm if it runs smoothly?

Fluorine Manager (Mod Organizer 2 Linux Port) 0.1.1 Release, Distro Related Fixes, SLR support, And Logging

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. März 2026 - 16:33

Fluorine Manager serves as a port of Mod Organizer 2

As the changelog goes,:

With this release Ubuntu based distros now no longer need to install libxcb-cursor, also related to this libfuse3 not found warning has also been fixed for ubuntu based distros.

SLR support has been added, this mainly fixes issues with distros if they don't have 32 bit libs enabled. This also provides better tracking and monitoring for game processes.

Fedora had a missing libicui.so file this is now fixed and should work again on Fedora.

Bazzite Game Mode had issues detecting and running instances when only in game mode, this is now fixed. Thank you to .kexodus in discord for helping test this issue.

Logs are now generated in the /logs folder when you run fluorine, this should make it easier to share issues that come up.

Death Stranding 2 Fix

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. März 2026 - 15:54

In case anyone has issues launching Death Stranding 2 on Linux, I had to add "VKD3D_CONFIG=nodxr" as a launch parameter (so "VKD3D_CONFIG=nodxr %command%" in Steam launch options for the game) to fix this error:

Assertion failed

File: ../src-wine/dlls/winevulkan/loader_thunks_c

Line: 3151

Expression: "!status && "vkCreateComputePipelines""

In case anyone else crashes at startup when compiling shaders.

Sober and Controller

Who does this wineprefix 0 belong to?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. März 2026 - 15:28

So steam always recreated this wineprefix every launch, and it always changing the proton version like from GE-Proton onto EM-Proton then DW-Proton and etc. Cleary this isn't game prefix right? because game prefix has AppID.

Daily system-wide freezes due to AMD gpu bug

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. März 2026 - 15:27

I am having daily system-wide freezes on newest version of Bazzite. The entire computer just freezes and nothing happens when pressing buttons, including CTRL+ALT+F# to switch terminals. Journalctl logs shows:
Mar 19 15:15:24 kwin_wayland[2377]: Pageflip timed out! This is a bug in the amdgpu kernel driver

Mar 19 15:15:24 kwin_wayland[2377]: Pageflip timed out! This is a bug in the amdgpu kernel driver

Mar 19 15:15:24 kwin_wayland[2377]: Please report this at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues

Mar 19 15:15:24 kwin_wayland[2377]: Please report this at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues

Mar 19 15:15:24 kwin_wayland[2377]: With the output of 'sudo dmesg' and 'journalctl --user-unit plasma-kwin_wayland --boot 0'

Many other people and I have reported this to AMD at the website linked in the error, but no fix yet, even tho it's been reported for soon a year.

This prevents me from playing anything competitive, since i risk freezing. Freezes happens randomly when watching videos or playing games.

It seems to happen for any distro, and looks like it is either a amdgpu problem or linux kernel problem.

Does anyone know how to fix it or at least alleviate the problem? Getting around having to reboot pc? I am using and AMD ryzen 5 3600 and rx 9070

Actually thinking of going back to windows, so i don't crash

GTA V Enhanced on Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS. After launching, opens a couple of rockstar games windows then there's just one tiny rockstar window open. Nothing else happens.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. März 2026 - 15:13

I don't know what's going on. Genuinely. Please help.
I am using Proton-Experimental.
I've played GTA V Enhanced before, since then nothing(to my knowledge) has changed at all. It worked fine but now it's suddenly doing this.
I have tried troubleshooting by using different Proton versions, reinstalling, nothing worked.
I am using an Intel i5-14400 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti.
