Hey i’m new to linux and i am having some problems with playing overwatch. The thing is that i boot up the game and it works fine for about 5 minutes and then my fps start going down and eventually it crashes.

I’m on ubuntu 26.04 with a fresh install.
I haven’t really touched anything other than properties in steam with no success.
I have my drivers updated with a 2070 and amd ryzen 5 5600x.

Would love to get some help, have a nice day!

It seems the popularity of the new Steam Controller really did catch Valve off guard, with it selling out a lot faster than expected.

hello, new linux user here and i've run into this error when trying to launch The Witcher 3 and haven't been able to find a solution anywhere. (Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon)

this is the output i get for inxi -G

Graphics:

Device-1: NVIDIA TU116 [GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER] driver: nvidia v: 595.58.03

Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 21.1.11 with: Xwayland v: 23.2.6 driver: X:

loaded: nvidia unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,nouveau,vesa

gpu: nv_platform,nvidia,nvidia-nvswitch resolution: 1: 1920x1080~60Hz

2: 1920x1080~60Hz

API: EGL v: 1.5 drivers: nvidia,swrast

platforms: gbm,x11,surfaceless,device

API: OpenGL v: 4.6.0 compat-v: 4.5 vendor: nvidia mesa v: 595.58.03

renderer: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER/PCIe/SSE2

API: Vulkan v: 1.3.275 drivers: nvidia,llvmpipe surfaces: xcb,xlib

Info: Tools: api: eglinfo, glxinfo, vulkaninfo

gpu: nvidia-settings,nvidia-smi x11: xdriinfo, xdpyinfo, xprop, xrandr

so i presume the trouble is likely that the game just isn't detecting opengl. i have 'Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool' enabled using Proton 9.0-4. other steam games work fine so far, Witcher 3 is the first one i've had a problem with.

some forum pages i saw talked about installing Wine, but from what i understand, Proton already has some features of Wine integrated with it? would separately installing Wine potentially help?

any help would be greatly appreciated!

Funcom have given the survival game Conan Exiles a big free upgrade with Conan Exiles Enhanced officially out now and it sounds great.

I’ve been working on a solo project called Arkansas 2125, a post-apocalyptic turn-based RPG inspired by classic CRPGs.

The game focuses on atmosphere, slower pacing, and tactical decision-making rather than fast action.

It’s currently in Early Access and I’m continuing to improve it step by step based on feedback.

I’m curious what people think about this kind of approach — do slower, more atmospheric RPGs still appeal today, or do most players prefer faster gameplay?

If anyone wants to check it out, it’s easy to find on Steam by searching Arkansas 2125.

Bazzite was great, but sandboxed and locked down.

Pop-OS was GNOME but worked (uggo)

Nobaru really didn't want to fucking properly initialize my GPU, and when I tried to update it was like "lol, we working on it but here's a quick 10 commands to fix our blind spots" (didn't work)

TIME TO GO TO MINT HUH?

OHHHHH, OH BOY! ANOTHER ALL DAY ADVENTURE YAAAAY

I need help with Minecraft. I recently installed SpiralLinux on my PC, and when I launch Minecraft (version 1.16.5 Fabric with mods), the game opens, but when loading a world, it crashes and forces me to log back into my PC. It seems to be a driver issue because if I run the game with Zink (which translates the game from OpenGL to Vulkan), the game works, but at low FPS. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hey,
I’ve recently bought rtx 5060ti.
Been a while since I followed nvidia side of Linux gaming, back then it was only proprietary drivers that worked.

Now I can see there’s proprietary drivers and nvidia-open.
Which one should I pick? If nvidia-open, then which version should it be? 570? 580? 590? 595?

I’m currently running nvidia-open-580.142, should I upgrade to 590/595?

I’m running Linux mint with kernel 6.17.0-23.
Running x11, not Wayland if that matters.

Anyone here that experienced the same issue but solved it? Haven't found anything online about it tbh. I got the game from EG and been launching it using Heroic Launcher. My Heroic Launcher doesn't have the "Force DGPU" option or similar to that but most games I've tried were using my dgpu anyways

The games I've tried on Heroic Launcher before was Ghost of Tsushima, FF7 Remake and Rebirth and Watch_Dogs. All were using the Dgpu despite the option about forcing it literally not present. Any way to play it on Linux so I don't have to use Windows just to play a game? Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Edit:

Forgor to mention my laptop specs and OS.

Fedora 43 KDE

i5 13420H

16gb RAM

RTX 4050 6gb

Farming roguelike deckbuilder Cropdeck has you use cards to grow crops and collect weird-looking scarecrows that help you farm and create satisfying combos.

If anyone is annoyed by significant input lag in the system and in games compared to Windows (in my case, CachyOS on Hyprland), try this. It took me several months to discover this. I don't notice any input latency anymore, I have VXE MAD R+ mouse with 2000hz polling rate.

This is UEFI (Gigabyte Aorus Z490I Ultra in my case). I didn't tested this on Nvidia GPU, but AMD has the same input lag without these settings changed. So you can try it on both Nvidia and AMD. Share your results in the comments and tell if it helped you pls! Picture translation:

Fast boot - Disable (just for test, I don't think it's necessary) Legacy USB support - Disable Port 60/64 Emulation - Disable XHCI Hand-off mode - Disable C-State control - Disable

(the guide isn't mine, but my friend's; he asked me to post this here)
