How do I log into my microsoft account?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. Februar 2026 - 07:33

I've recently set up a dual boot on my Win 10 machine (i7-7700, GTX1080, 64GB RAM) with Pop OS + GNOME using X11 (I think I got that right? I was following instructions from ChatGPT that seemed right). I've installed Steam with no probs, most games install and work fine but Sea Of Thieves requires me to log into my MS Account but it presents me with this. I know it should be showing me a number and link to the authorisation page but this is all I get. The AI gave me the MS devicelogin url to enter the code in but I don't have a code.

Any ideas on how to get this to come up properly?

Edi: And I did search, some people had similar issues but I couldn't find a solution. But ProtonDB seems to indicate it should just work. I've tried Proton Hotfix, Experimental and 10.0-4, all with the same result.

Did DXVK get broken by a Mesa update?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. Februar 2026 - 05:51

Today, multiple games that previously worked perfectly on Proton just completely broke. They start up, pop up a brief error window, then close. I've tested 4 games now: Railroader, Derail Valley, Lidar Exploration Program, and Crab Champions. The latter did have slightly different behavior, but only because it's on Unreal unlike the others, which are Unity, so it had an Unreal flavored error window instead.

Running them from the command line yielded no results, no error messages printed out or anything. All games had their local files validate successfully. Each of the Unity games produced a log saying, in part:

GfxDevice: creating device client; threaded=1; jobified=0

d3d11: failed to create factory (80004005).

GfxDevice: creating device client; threaded=1; jobified=0

Crash!!!

I looked up that error, and found [this GitHub issue](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8774). Technically, this isn't the exact problem, but it indicates that it's an issue with DXVK's driver feature requirements.

For the record, I'm using EndeavorOS, I have an AMD Radeon 6700 XT, both `vulkan-radeon` and `lib32-vulkan-radeon` installed, and both `vulkan-icd-loader` and `lib32-vulkan-icd-loader` installed. The problem happens with Proton-GE, Proton Hotfix, Proton 9, you name it.

As in that GitHub issue, `PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1` does "fix" it, but at the cost of performance and ugly graphics. Crab Champions in particular has very distorted and broken graphics with it.

Finally, it looks like Mesa 26.0.1 just came out, which may be related.

Has anyone else had this issue, or know about a possible solution?

I want to download the Portuguese subtitles for Fallout New Vegas, but I don't know how to install them into the files. The tutorials only show how to do this on Windows, and to make matters worse, I bought the game through GOG. Can anyone help me?

Problems with assassins creed syndicate

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. Februar 2026 - 04:13

I installed Ubisoft Connect on the Heroic Games Launcher using Proton Cachyos, and the latter hadn't given me any problems until I played Assassin's Creed. The problem is visual; it runs, but it appears like this, and I don't know how to fix it. I've already tried different versions of Proton, and the ones that open it all look the same.

I use:

CachyOS

Specs:

Intel Core i5 13450HX

Nvidia RTX 5050 Laptop

24 gb Ram

Distorted Graphics and Failure to Launch Steam Games.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. Februar 2026 - 03:25

I tried doing my research online, but to no avail. Initially, I was not able to open the games despite using Proton Experimental. I would press play and it wouldnt start. I found the following launch option. It would open the game, but then I would get distorted graphics. I am running the latest Linux Mint. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm lost. Not sure if this helps, but Counter Strike 1.6 launches fine, so it probably has something to do with the GPU settings or driver. Thanks

Need help choosing future GPU.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. Februar 2026 - 00:48

Hey everyone, I'm currently facing a bit of a dilemma and could really use some outside perspective.

I'm looking to treat myself to a GPU upgrade and have been doing some research to figure out what would best suit my needs. My current card is an RTX 3080 with 10GB of VRAM, which has started to feel limiting, especially in more demanding titles that keep pushing past that VRAM threshold.

After browsing around, I've narrowed it down to two AMD cards: the RX 7900 XTX and the RX 9070 XT. Both happen to be available at roughly the same price where I live, which honestly makes the choice harder than I expected.

One thing that stood out while going through benchmarks is that both cards seem to fall noticeably behind Nvidia in ray-traced workloads, and from what I've read this apparently holds true even on Linux, which is my main OS. That's a bit of a concern since I do enjoy games that lean into RT effects.

The other thing I haven't been able to find much on is VR performance. I use VR pretty regularly and it's honestly one of my main use cases, so it's not really something I can ignore. VR-specific benchmarks for these cards just seem really hard to come across.

So I guess my main questions are: which of the two is the better pick for Linux gaming, how bad is the ray tracing gap in practice, and how do they actually hold up in VR? Any insight or personal experience would be hugely appreciated!
