Just linking this (I don't know how cross posting works, it's not working for me for some reason):

Actually, I can just copy paste

I found a way that works for me for splitting audio. I need only to split game audio, Discord, and microphone. I tried using qpwgraph but it kinda mixed Discord and Chromium together.

What works reliably for me is

1. create virtual sinks
2. create loopbacks from virtual sinks to default device
3. set PULSE_SINK=game_audio_capture (or =discord_audio_capture) in the apps' launch parameters

I like this because I can launch Steam with PULSE_SINK and every game* will launch outputting to that sync. So no need to think too much what is where.

I'm mainly posting to help others coming from Windows where they've used OBS for clipping games, but also for feedback to see if there's a better way to kinda force apps to output someplace without PULSE_SINK or if PULSE_SINK has an alternative that won't be deprecated or something in the future. For me, this is actually pretty good because I can then run gamescope-session-plus and not have it include all the environment variables (I can selectively apply PULSE_SINK )

I made a short video on this:

There's a text guide (basically a generated sumary by ChatGPT of my conversation with it):

*some games only work if launched with proton, even when they have native support ... I don't know why, but for me it's not a hassle

Hi everyone. I installed Ghostwire Tokyo from the Heroic Game Launcher on Steam Deck and would like to use some cheats. I tried a Fling trainer via Steam Tinker Launcher, but it doesn't detect the game's .exe file and I can't activate the various cheats. Are there any alternatives that work? I have tons of games on the Epic Games Store and can't use Cheat Deck. Thanks for the info.

I had to try 4 different proton versions to even get it running (Experimental and currently using GE-33) and then I'm stuck at 50-60fps while tweaking all settings (mostly at high now) with 0 improvements from Cinematic/Max with Ray Reconstruction (goes beyond max settings and costs like over 50% fps) I have an RTX 4080 at 1440p which usually gets me at least 80fps minimum in all other games even with raytracing. I have ray reconstruction off so that's not the reason my fps are low. The CPU (i7-13700kf) usage also seems very low (20%) while the GPU is at 100% and DLSS does nothing to relieve that. According to benchmarks I should be having ~90fps on Ultra settings with RR off and DLAA (rsther than DLSS Quality). Is the proton tax on this game just that high?

Can anyone shed some light on this?

When having FSR4 upgraded by updating amdxcffx64.dll, either manually or (before AMD removed the files) using auto-update feature in GE-Proton or cachyos-proton.
On exiting CP2077 I'm getting a Steam process hang, needing manual stopping of CP2077, followed by core dump.

This ONLY happens when FSR4 amdxcffx64.dll is upgraded manually or automatic update in ../system32 to either 4.0.3 or 4.1.0.

The core dump on exit:

mrt 21 09:16:39 Infinity systemd[1]: Started Process Core Dump (PID 61061/UID 0).
mrt 21 09:16:40 Infinity steam[53079]: Removing process 60162 for gameID 1091500
mrt 21 09:16:41 Infinity systemd-coredump[61065]: [🡕] Process 60408 (GameThread) of user 1000 dumped core.

Stack trace of thread 60460:
#0 0x00007f27a3454fe0 n/a (n/a + 0x0)
ELF object binary architecture: AMD x86-64The core

FSR4 4.0.3 and 4.1.0 do work in-game indicated by PROTON_FSR4_INDICATOR=1 or SR4_WATERMARK=1 MLFG_WATERMARK=1watermark(s). And 4.1.0 does seem to have a bit better image quality.

What works:
Using the loose FSR4 4.0.3 files from SDK FidelityFX 2.1.0, manually updating amd_fidelityfx_dx12.dll & fidelityfx_framegeneration_dx12.dll amd_fidelityfx_upscaler x12.dll, in ../Cyberpunk2077/bin/x64.
This does not result in the process hang and core dump.

Tested:
GE-Proton10-28, manual and auto update to 4.0.3.
GE-Proton10-33, manual update to 4.0.3 / 4.1.0.
cachyos-proton (latest), manual update to 4.1.0.

System specs:
Kernel: 6.19.2-1
Desktop: KDE Plasma 6.5.5
WM: kwin_wayland
GPU: Radeon RX 9070 XT (RADV GFX1201)
Driver: mesa 25.3.5-arch1.1
Vulkan Instance Version: 1.4.341
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core Processor

The retro-inspired shooter Nightmare Reaper just received a massive update, adding 2–4 player co-op. This change builds on both the single-player and multiplayer parts of the game with new systems, enemies, and better gameplay. https://www.ubuntupit.com/retro-shooter-nightmare-reaper-adds-4-player-co-op-update/

Hey hey People,

pretty new Linux user here.

I am kinda lost with setting up my gamepad As mentioned in the thread I am not able to set up my game controller. The dongle as well as the gamepad is shown in the USB list. But steam won't show the controller and neither it's shown in the game controller task in the global settings. I tried Bluetooth as well and I could connect the device, but there was some kind of error, that CachyOS couldn't setup the Bluetooth Controller.. now it's not found again...

I updated the firmware of the dongle and controller at my old windows partition. (Dont roast me, as I mentioned I am a Linux noob)

My XBox Controller with dongle works just fine and everything is shown as expected..

It sound kinda strange for me but I am confident that there is a workaround ;)

Thank you so much :)

Hello all,

How are you? I am looking for a good application on Linux Mint that shows CPU, GPU & fps usage similar to Steam overlay?

This is so that I can record these stats while recording gameplay for creating Youtube videos & I recently moved to Linux Mint from Windows 11 so I'm still learning Mint as my OS. Could you also add any links? thanks

Ik this is just Linux, but people here seem far more technical than I am, maybe once of you guys know how to deal with this.

While I was cleaning the other day I found my box of CD-R games from the XP - 95 days and want to play them but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do to get them running with Proton on Kubuntu. Would I have to rip the games and copy everything to my machine first or is there some kind of command that I have to use since a few required the disc to be present to run.

Not sure if its only on ProtonGE or not. Ive been playing arc raiders and fsr4 has been a life saver. i tried it on experimental and it seems to work. just making sure its not a placebo.
