This feels like AMD Boost Feature suddenly got enabled globally in all my Steam games (also Faugus), I can't even show it in a screenshot.

I don't remember what happened of if something updated, every game model's edge becomes pixelated when moving, and is back to normal when it's static.

Distro: Pika OS

Default Proton: GE-Proton Latest (I made sure it's selected)

Satisfactory from Coffee Stain Studios had quite a few patches to improve it on Steam Deck, and the latest update got it Steam Deck Verified.

This is not your grannie's Bingo, this is underground Bingo that clearly takes some fun elements of Balatro to make things a bit nuts.

A pretty good way for Valve to start the year, with Steam breaking another all-time users online record.

so valve only maintenance steam for debian distro? another distro (such as fedora with their .rpm) isn't maintenance by valve?

Hi all, I'm currently one foot in - one foot out into switching over to Linux and I'm trying to get my games to run. I'm currently dual booting Fedora 43 (KDE - Plasma 6 on Wayland) and Windows and I'm using an AMD CPU and RX 9070 XT GPU.

Back when I was purely on windows, I had an existing NTFS hard drive dedicated to my games/steam library, so when I installed Fedora, I used a bit of jiggery-pokery to install steam and just get it to point to that hard drive. After some troubleshooting, I got my steam games to launch and play without any obvious issues (so far) without having to redownload anything or reformat the drive.

As for my non-steam games like World of Warcraft, I added my preexisting battle.net launcher to steam as a non steam game, and was once again able to play without issues and for FFXIV, I used discover to download XIV launcher and simply point it to my games hard drive. The only game giving me trouble is Elder Scrolls Online. I know that the game exists on steam, but I bought the game outside of that platform, so I once again, added my existing launcher to steam, and the launcher worked fine, but the game itself did not.

Initially, the game would just crash instantly when I clicked play, but I changed the compatibility settings to launch with GE-Proton 10-28 and that got the game to launch, but stuck on a black screen. I've also tried adding just the eso64.exe client to steam, but that sadly, has the same black screen problem.

I can see ESO's custom cursor, but nothing else. I've found old forum and reddit posts and tried their solutions, but to no avail, such as:
- Trying various versions of proton
- Pressing enter at the black screen
- Adding PROTON_SET_GAME_DRIVE=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command% as a launch option
- Trying to add the game through lutris (this helped somewhat as I was able to hear a single sound effect from the game, but no music or anything like that)
- Through lutris, modifying the usersettings.ini file options to skip the intro movie (SkipPregameVideos, HasPlayedPregameVideo)
- Alt+enter to toggle full screen modes

I've read that storing my games on the NTFS file system is problematic, but it doesn't seem to have stopped any of my other games from working flawlessly, so I wonder if the various things I did to get steam working solved it for my other games and just not ESO? I've also seen that most linux users who appear to have ESO working have bought it through steam and linking their accounts if they initially bought the game outside of steam, but I am reluctant to do that because I'm not 100% I'm going to stick with Linux just yet and I don't want to spend money to buy a game I already own.

If anyone has any advice, I'm all ears, because I'm running out of ideas 😅

I am currently using Bazzite for gaming and am wondering if it'd be worth it for stability / performance gains in DX12 titles to switch from the RTX 4070 by selling it and switch to the RX 9060 XT 16GB?

Will this be worth doing or should I just keep a hold of my 4070 until next few generations of AMD GPU's?

First of all i am a complete noob on the Linux side and planning on multi-booting Linux on my laptop soon. But while doing some research on it, most distros of Linux needs you to turn off SecureBoot in order to multi-boot. I know that "Easy anti cheat" does require it in other games (which i don't play) I only need Easy Anti-cheat for Arc and Finals.

Hi everyone!

I recently released my first visual novel, Livber: Smoke and Mirrors. It’s a small psychological horror game, and it didn’t sell a lot, which is honestly what I expected.

What mattered most to me was finishing the game and seeing people actually play the game. Because of that, I’m continuing to support it with an artbook and a soundtrack DLC. We also released a Linux version so the game feels truly complete. On top of that, we’re currently working on localization and voice acting with a team made entirely of volunteers.

To be honest, it’s not the most financially sensible thing to do, haha, but this game feels like my baby, so I want to keep taking care of it ^^

I just wanted to share the experience. Thanks for reading <3

I am playing some old Japanese games and launching them through a simple bash script which runs proton in a pre-installed game profile (from a random game from my steam library).

However, when I add the script to steam as a binary to launch from the client, I get some different behaviour that breaks the character rendering/spacing and newlines in the textboxes. I don't see how this can happen as I am literally just running the same shell script and everything else is simply handled via the same protontricks-launch profile.

Here is the script TheLostOne.sh:

#!/bin/bash cd "/home/morg/Games/EVE The Lost One/THE LOST ONE" export STEAM_RUNTIME=0 gamescope -h 480 -w 640 -H 2160 -W 3840 -f -- \ protontricks-launch --no-runtime --appid 359870 Lost_one_unwrapped.EXE

Here it's how it looks outside of steam.

And here is how it looks when I launch the game via steam. You can see the text goes out of the textbox and the spacing is weird.

Here is my steam launcher settings: https://i.imgur.com/Xk5tjPT.png

As you can see I am just launching the script directly and not doing anything weird.

What could possibly be going on?

Hey, so I'm new here to linux gaming and i have Nobara 43 Nvidia edition installed and i wanna know that can i keep my secure boot on without messing with the Nvidia driver? I heard that if it's not signed it'll break the driver so I'm kinda worried about that.

As for now i cannot go for 100% linux machine because im still playing Valorant with my friends every night, and that vanguard shit needed secure boot turned on so i can play the game (i hate kernel level anti cheats).

Is there anyway other than going to bios everytime i want to boot to windows and enable secure boot and go into bios again to disable it before i go to linux? Maybe there's someone here who got the same problem as me beforehand?

Any kind of help will be appreciated thank you.

Hey all,

I'm trying out Nobara Linux on my HP Omen gaming laptop and trying to set up fan2go for fan control since HP Omen Hub doesn't work on Linux. I've got the config file written but I'm hesitant to run it because of the 8+ minute initialization process where fans spin down to 0 RPM.

My concerns:

• Don't want to overheat during the initialization phase
• Want to make sure the curve will actually ramp up fans appropriately
• This is my primary gaming laptop - can't afford to damage it

Hardware:

• HP Omen 16 ap0-xxx (gaming laptop)
• AMD Ryzen 8940MX CPU (k10temp sensor)
• NVIDIA RTX 5060 Laptop GPU
• 2 system fans on hp-isa-0000 platform
• Both fans cool the system together (not CPU/GPU specific)

Output of "fan2go detect" command: https://pastebin.com/ubnjFCzk

My fan2go config: https://pastebin.com/0w0Mh0Gg

Questions:

1. Has anyone successfully run fan2go on a gaming laptop, especially HP Omen?
2. Is the initialization safe if I let the system cool first and don't run any loads?
3. Does my curve look reasonable for a gaming laptop?
4. Any suggestions or changes to the config?
5. If something goes wrong, does the BIOS take back fan control automatically?

Newbie to gaming on Linux and I definitely need automatic control of fans with a fan curve so that fans do ramp up as temps rise. I'm sure to have more questions but these are the basics I need answered.

Decided I'm def switching from my 4080, these are my two options locally I've decided on. I know all FSR and Redstone stuff that's working on the 9070 XT but I love the idea of the flagship.

The 7900 XTX is just super appealing to me because it's 2 slots and I'm in ITX and gives me more options for cases in the future. I don't really care about RTX as much as I used too especially considering the headaches it took to run it on the 4080 and the tricks to make it usable.

But I also can't deny that yeah, I launch 2077 and love jacking up RT and fooling around. I largely play older titles cause newer ones aren't of interest and I love playing stuff like Dishonored 2 at 4k maxed out.

Just two weird GPU choices for me I know but I keep being attracted to the 7900 (I saw it in person, it is new!) though my brain said 9070

I am making this guide with the intention of helping more people who have the same problem I had.

I'm using Google Translate, sorry.

When I tried to install a ReShade preset, I ran into three problems.

1. ReShade doesn't have an official Linux version.

2. Information about installation, usage, and other aspects is very scarce, scattered, and confusing.

3. Installing ReShade for Linux using the script found here requires the use of arguments, and at least I couldn't find any way for MO2 to use the arguments passed to Steam.

To fix it, I went through almost every method I found on Reddit and YouTube, but I found a solution that worked correctly for me.

In this case I will use Fallout New Vegas as an example, but it should work with any game that runs in the same way.

Installing ReShade using Steam and Proton.

I wanted to try something that seemed easy to me, and it turned out to be, and more importantly, it worked.

Steps:

1. Go to reshade and download the .exe file of the latest version (the current version as of today is 6.7.0).

2. In Steam, add the .exe file as a non-Steam game and enable proton compatibility (should work with any version of Proton).

3. The installation of ReShade is the same as that found in any Windows installation, except for one point.

Directory hack

To be able to choose where the game's .exe file and .ini files are located, the file explorer used by this version of Proton is very basic and does not allow you to see hidden folders, so you should create a symbolic link located in a folder accessible by the explorer. Here you should put the .ini files of the presets you want to use.

Ex.

ln -s ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Fallout\ New\ Vegas ~/.FalloutFolder

As I said before, the installation is the same with the same options found in any tutorial.

Installation of missing libraries.

Once everything is installed, and you receive the same ReShade message confirming this, you should see the ReShade popup when you open the game.

ReShade PopUp

In my case I no longer have errors, but you should have them.

To fix it is simple, you need some libraries, you can easily install these with protontricks, but if you don't know how (like me), this tutorial can help you.

Just change the `winetricks` command to `protontricks`, and follow the same steps.

The libraries that are needed are:

d3dcompiler_42.dll
d3dcompiler_43.dll
d3dcompiler_46.dll
d3dcompiler_47.dll

This solution is thanks to Eckoa, In his response to the problem, he explicitly stated:

I'm not 100% sure which one fixed it in Dragon's Dogma DA (I wasn't feeling like taking too long to test), but I selected these in Proton Tricks.

So you should install all four libraries (it worked for me).

You should now have a fully functional ReShade installation.

Note: When choosing a preset .ini file to avoid installing all ReShade libraries, for some reason it only took them into account when I copied and pasted them into the directory at that precise moment before opening the file explorer.
