Hello,

My cs2 is crashing with this error since January:

https://preview.redd.it/afde5onxz8sg1.png?width=759&format=png&auto=webp&s=94f242dfc9dba72cae3671363f9866b835a5e206

Or it is randomly crashing with freeze and I need to kill the process.

I've never had any problem with it before. It's working great for 5-10 min and then crashes.

My only workaround that I have found (it's still bad because I have shader stutters):

I need to delete shader cache each time:
rm -rf ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike\ Global\ Offensive/game/csgo/shadercache/vulkan/shaders.cache

and set llvm as compiler:
RADV_DEBUG=llvm %command%

I don't know why this works but it works...

GPU: Radeon 9070 XT

CPU: Ryzen 7 7700

kernel: 6.19.10-1-cachyos
Mesa 26.1.0-devel (git-c0f1689e11)

I had this problem with other mesa and kernel versions too. I have reinstalled cs2 many times. I undervolted my GPU. I've tried many different launch options, but last year it was working great without any of it.

Hello everyone! I have been working on this project for quite a while, building my own custom handheld console for gaming & everyday PC use, running Linux! I am currently working on the prototypes, so I thought it would be a great time to share an update of what I have been building with everyone here! It is called the CG Deck, an open-source and modular x86 handheld PC.

My initial goal was to create a small handheld PC that was entirely self contained and can be thrown in a backpack or back pants pocket (The entire device is 7.4" x 4.6" x 2.25"), with a high enough standard of hardware capable of being actually useful for things like high end retro emulation, CAD design/doing light modelling tasks in Blender, PCB design, coding, graphic design, music, video editing, and gaming with my steam library! Because it runs an x86 architecture, we get the advantage of being able to natively play steam games unlike a lot of other consoles.

I also wanted the device to be modular so it can be upgraded depending on how it is being used, and adapt the device depending on the workflow. For example, upgrading the memory with a full sized 2280 SSD, connecting an external full size GPU with PCLe, LTE/sim card support for work on the road, in addition to more cosmetically functional changes like swapping out the face/back plates to change the look, upgrading the HID control modules, antennas for extended connection range, etc. I wanted to create a device that acted like a foundation that is supposed to be sculpted and built out the way you want, and so the CG Deck was born!

These are a few renders of the production builds of the device. The project will be Open Source and I will be releasing everything along the way for the project so you can build your own. I will also be creating a youtube video showcasing the build process and highlighting the trials and challenges of creating a "Production" device. The "Documentary" will be going over everything from building the BOM and figuring out hardware to designing the shell in CAD, assembly, etc.

I would love to hear your thoughts on it everything, and if you have any questions or feedback, I would love to answer and hear it all!

It has been a massively fun project so far, and I cannot wait to start playing with the first prototype and sharing that when I get it presentable. If you are interested in following along with the project or learning more, you can find everything from specs, more details, links to the open source github repository and more.

Once I start wrapping up the project, I will be launching a Kickstarter to help fund a full production run of the device for anyone interested in helping support the project and getting a CG Deck of their own. I am planning to release some build kits and pre-assembled devices with the Kickstarter, and if you have any questions about that, I would love to answer them!

I like my home directory to stay neat and I'm a bit worried having never used Wine before. Will Wine and the associated files from the programs and games I want to install make a mess of my home directory? Should I make a new user account just for running things through Wine so that my primary account stays neat?

Edit: Thanks for the replies.

I switched from Win11 to Fedora KDE in November and it's been fine for the most part, but something that really grinds my gears is that sometimes the gaming performance is different than other times. Sometimes, my games will be running awful for no apparent reason, and I need to restart the computer for them to run properly. I have no idea what may be causing this, but it's not a problem the computer has had before I migrated to Fedora. This is the basic info about the machine, if I need to provide more please say so.

Kind of an offshot of this thread. Legit, it's something I've always wanted, just having ProtonDB integrated onto the Steam library. I'd do it, if I knew how.

Hey all! I'm crossposting from r/geometrydash in hopes that the linux space can help me with this. As the titles says, I have gd installed on my linux pc and for some reason it won't go online. Like at all. It will not let me log in, it will not let me play online levels, it will not let me download music from newgrounds. Some menus display nothing when they time out, others say "something went wrong." My account seems to be ok. I can log into the boomlings portal. I did this to change my password (for the record, I have changed my password multiple times since the password leak in an attempt to login but it will not let me in game).

I have tried checking firewall settings, changing recommended dns settings for this issue, changing proton versions (older versions and GE versions), emailing robtop support to see if I'm IP banned (no response), messing with steam launch settings. Nothing. I installed geode a few days ago and that connects online, but only that part. The rest of the game still isn't connecting. Hell I've even tried changing the steam client to and from the runtime one. Nobody on proton db is mentioning this issue and the one post I found in the steam gd forums didn't help much so at this point I think it's a me problem.

I'm using Manjaro linux with kde and wayland. It worked fine when I used it on fedora last before distro hopping. I added a screenshot with specs if that helps any. If anyone knows how to get logs for this game I'd be more than happy to provide that as well if it helps. I don't have windows nor the mobile version to test it on.

And before anyone suggests it, I can't open a ticket on the GD discord. The server requires you to verify with your phone number and I have no plans to attach my cell to my discord.

Any help is massively appreciated!

I'm a newbie to Linux desktops and loved having the how long to beat and proton info right in steam. Can this be done in desktop steam? I used playnite on windows which had all those details. Figured I ask.

Currently trying to get FSR 4.0.0 working on crimson desert using the latest optiscaler build from discord, switched the amdxcfx.dll from the wiki, but FSR 4.0.0 doesn’t show up for some reason. Using fsr4update=true on the opti.DLL and I’m using the launch argument dxil_config on steam.

When I try this only FSR 3.1.4 comes up on optiscaler, but FSR 4.0.2 and 4.0.2b is working fine.

Mainly trying to get 4.0.0 for the small performance gain.

Running on Legion Go Z1E on Bazzite.

Thanks :))

Hi everyone! I would like to share a detailed setup guide that worked for me, here are my specs

bazzite deck image, i7 13000f, 9070xt, 32gb ram
Tv is a samsung qn1a

After some tweaking I was able to get 4k,120hz,hdr,vrr,4:4:4 colours, HDMI-CEC, and frame gen working in linux.

U-Green HDMI to DisplayPort Adapter: This adapter does support 4k,120hz,hdr,vrr,4:4:4 colours, and HDMI-CEC. Also I got the cabled version. I’ve read that there could be issues with the non-cabled one.

VRR: At first this was disabled but it was a tv issue not linux. I fixed this by going into the tv settings and enabling input signal plus for the hdmi I was using. In gamescope if you press the xbox button + a button it will open a side menu where it will show if vrr active or not.

CEC: Worked out of the box for me so once I power on the computer it does turn on the tv to the correct hdmi and when turned powered down it turns off the display as well.

Frame-Gen: So for games like Crimson Desert it does have amd frame gen built(tested and working) but many others don’t of course. So I downloaded the steam decky plugin to install the lossless scaling frame gen plugin (called LFVG). After installing decky you can search this in the plugins section and install directly there. You will also need to get the lossless scaling app from the steam store. Since the app doesn’t technically support linux, before downloading you need to go to the game properties and change the game version to linux testing. When opening the plugin you should see the app is installed and also install the mod itself. After copying the patch command you need to paste it into the launch options of the specific game you want to launch. Don’t paste this into the lossless scaling app the games were not launching for me. I tested frame gen in Expedition 33 and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and both worked perfectly even with vrr. There was no screen tearing or artifacting.

Adapter Note: When I boot up the pc and the display first turns on it will go back to a black screen for a second or two. This is just the adapter resetting and happens usually before I even launch a game. It never does it again while I’m playing so the adapter is stable.

So in summary I used bazzite deck image, a hdmi display adapter from amazon and decky LFVG plugin to get all these features working together at once in linux. I hope this setup guide helps anyone who is interested in gaming on linux and having a console experience!

System

- OS: CachyOS (Arch-based)

- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070 (Driver 595.58.03)

- Proton: GE-Proton10-34 via PortProton launcher

- Game installed outside Steam

Issue

Certain particle effects (smoke, fire, transparent elements) render incorrectly — they appear as glitched/corrupted geometry instead of rendering normally. It doesn't happen everywhere, only on specific effects.

What I tried

- Multiple Proton versions (GE-Proton 10-30, 10-33, 10-34, Proton-CachyOS)

- Deleted vkd3d-proton.cache and GLCache

- All graphics settings from Ultra Low to Ultra

- DLSS on/off, Frame Gen on/off

- VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv

- DXVK_ASYNC=1

Nothing fixed it. Anyone else hit this? Any known workaround?

Whenever I try opening it I just get an error about missing drivers. FBT with my Quest 2 is one of the few things keeping me to a dual boot and I'd like to swap entirely to Linux.

I noticed there isn't really a centralized place to ask questions or learn about how to use Limo Mod Manager, so I made a sub for it: r/LimoModManager

Hopefully this can turn into a good place to get help for new users of the mod manager.

I know this is issue will only affect a very small portion of people, I just wanted to post it so that an easy fix is out there. Last night I tried to stream Nightreign from Steam on my desktop to my living room TV and was only receiving audio with a black screen from my desktop when the game was running through Steam Link. It runs fine at the computer, just not when remote streaming to another device. I think recent KDE desktop updates may have introduced an issue with the Cachy's custom Proton compatibility layer, but I'm just guessing on that. Last time I had started it, it was running fine if memory serves. This may also affect Elden Ring itself, so if you run into a similar issue with the original game, this may be applicable as well.

All that I had to do to get it working again was switch the game to the Proton 10 compatibility layer instead of the custom CachyOS optimized version and video streaming was restored.

For hardware context: I'm running an AMD 7900 XTX on a 7800 X3D processor using the latest CachyOS release (not the LTS version).

i got a pretty old gaming laptop with gtx1650 +8gb ram and amd chip.

so whenever I launch games (for example:- Fall out new vegas or dying light), they run fine for the first few minutes but they crash after a while.

like either the window can't be accessed or it says error and I have to stop the game from the steam itself.

i did these following:-

1)resetted steam preferences

2)used old and latest proton versions

3)stopped steam overlay

4)downgraded my graphic driver and etc

i couldn't find any video to solve this on YouTube so I had to use chatgpt for initial debugging but now it's telling me to make changes on system level to tinker with VRAM overflow or threading changes
