Most Total War titles I play have this strange stutter, and I don't see it with any other games I have played. The Windows versions of Warhammer 3, Rome 2, and Thrones of Britannia all have the exact same problem. The stutter begins the second the game is launched, and it persists regardless of the frame rate. I have tried several things, changing Proton versions, and combing through the Arch & CachyOS wikis to try every work around I could find.

Here is an image of what my btop graphs look like immediately after closing Rome 2: imgur

This is the log generated with PROTON_LOG=1 in the steam launch options: Google Drive

Laptop system information:

OS: CachyOS KERNEL: 6.17.9-2-cachyos PLATFORM: Wayland CPU: 11th Gen Intel Core i7-11800H @ 2.30GHz (integrated) GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU (discrete) GPU DRIVER: NVIDIA 580.105.08 RAM: 32 GB

Proton version I am primarily using: cachyos-10.0-20251126-native

Mesa package version: mesa 1:25.3.1-3

Notes:

Steam was installed through CachyOS Package Manager, version: 1.0.0.85-1

When tested in Windows 11 the stutter isn't present, of course I ran the latest NVIDIA drivers.

I am fairly new to Linux in general, forgive me if I don't understand things. Just know I am very determined to make gaming on Linux work.

I just don't know why my screen configuration sometimes likes to screen itself to both of my monitors. It doesn't seem to be an extended screen option visible like windows where applications settled into the primary monitor. Can someone help on fixing with xorg or with the Nvidia X settings?

I got this error after installing a dual boot Windows 10 + Bazzite linux. I wanted to go back to Windows afterward, but I get this error. I've tried repairing it with a BCD from a USB drive with the Windows installation, but it doesn't work. Thanks in advance for your help.

I remember when Genshin first launched it was pretty famous that their launcher had a kernel level anti-cheat and got some huge shtick for it. And was wandering on linux how do hoyo's game launchers behave when you run it on wine/proton?

I'm guessing their launchers will still have these anti-cheats, so I was curious in a security sense how their anti-cheat is handled in linux? When you run games like Genshin/ZZZ/Honkai via epic games through hero launcher, or like wise, would that mean they take the same level of kernel access and telemetry no different to running it on a windows PC, or does it report/indicate more isolated information depended on whether you're running it on wine or proton etc?

I'm trying to use the Wiimote+nunchuk with steam games on arch. I follow this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XWiimote#Connect_the_Wii_Remote

the nunchuk is detected by xwiimote (can see it listed in xwiishow) but once I check in steam input, only the wiimote's inputs are detected.

for more info:

If I check in Dolfin, it show up as 4 devices: nunchuck, infra sensor, accelerometer, and wiimote. If I select the nunchuk, it detect it's joystick and buttons

I tried to use moltengamepad to make a virtual gamepad, it show up in steam input as 4 pads too.

On Windows I was able to view the CPU fan speed, but I’m not able to on Nobara.

I can view some of the sensors using the “sensors” tool, and OCCT detects pretty much everything else, except CPU fan speed.

I am running 43, with a 7800X3D, with a ROG STRIX B659-A motherboard.

Any tips or suggestions?

I was a litttle concerned because my CPU shot up to almost TJMaxx while rendering shaders, which is super uncommon; undervolted, etc.

Hello, I'm having a weird issue where I can only boot Steam if I use the terminal. From there it seems to work fine. However, when I try to boot it from the system menu, it opens. Shows the logging in and loading client data screen for a second before closing. It appears in the sidebar and occasionally refreshes the entire screen like it's trying to load, but it won't.

I am using an AMD graphics card, and the Cinnamon version of Mint (22.2 6.4-8). I will try to provide any needed data on request. Thank you in advance!

I have tried: Rebooting. Turning on and off the setting for booting with dedicated graphics, turning on and off the boot through terminal option, loading a beta version of the steam cilent

Hi everyone, I recently switched to CachyOS and downloaded CS2, but the game keeps freezing on the Valve logo. I've tried changing the compatibility mode and verifying the game files, but nothing works.

For reference, I have an RTX 2060 GPU and an i3-10100F CPU.

I switched to Linux Mint (Cinnamon) from Windows 10 and my backup files and steam cloud saves have been wiped.

I;m not sure what happened with the cloud saves. My conclusion is that it just wasn't ever synced while on windows, because my steam cloud only had saves available from after I switched to Linux and testing.

I made sure the back up file was put onto the secondary drive that wasn't getting Linux installed on it. After I installed Linux and got BG3 running, the folder that held the backup file was empty. I made sure their weren't any hidden files, restarted my PC, ect.

Is there any way I could somehow recover the save file?

Hello everyone! I am quite new to Linux, and am dual-booting (separate SSD partitions) from Windows the latest Ubuntu (unfortunately some programs I need aren't supported so I've yet to move completely). I've been installing my Steam games and running them through the latest Proton, but despite them getting platinum rating on ProtonDB and not having any issues in the reviews, I've been having input issues with multiple games.

When I hold a key input (such as W) for some length of time, when releasing it stays held down for longer, and the extra time seems to increase the longer I initially held the input. This makes playing some games very difficult, as in FPS games (i.e. Ravenfield) I can't stop walking forwards or anything. It's also been an issue in other 3d games like KSP, however I haven't noticed it in Celeste, so it may be an issue with 3d stuff or Unity. I tried to find online solutions, but it all seems to either be multiple years old and supposedly fixed or are too confusing for me too understand (this one, also supposedly fixed I think), so I decided to come here to ask for help. Running latest Ubuntu, Steam, and various Proton versions (notably 10.3, but tried others and still got the issue), with the games tested and affected so far being KSP and Ravenfield. If any more info is required I'll try to help as best I can.

I recently set up a multiseat gaming system using loginctr, more-or-less following this post.

My main graphics card is a Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9070. The secondary graphics card will be installed in a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot, so I clearly won't get high-end performance, but it should be at least decent. For testing I'm currently using a very old Radeon R9 280, and it works great for simple games, but I want to replace it with something slightly more modern.

I'm currently struggling with the question which card to buy. It has to be an AMD card, since having multiple cards running different drivers is just asking for trouble. It also shouldn't draw too much power / generate too much heat.

I have looked at the following options:

1. RX 6400 - the extreme budget option. Very energy efficient - with a TDP of only 53W it doesn't even need external power. But only 4G of VRAM with a PassMark G3D score of 7729. Perhaps too basic. I'm also not sure whether the PCIe 4.0 x4 slot can deliver enough power for the card.
2. RX 6600 - one step up from the RX 6400, and a quite passable G3D score of 15088, with 8G of VRAM and a TDP of 132W.
3. RX 9060 XT 8G - the modern option. A G3D score of 19899, with a TDP of 150W.
4. RX 9060 XT 16G - since the limited number of PCIe lanes matters most when VRAM is exceeded, perhaps it's worth going all-out with a 16G card? It has a G3D score of 20019 and a TDP of 160W. But perhaps this would be overkill for a card that's running in a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot?

Is FSR 4 a reason to to go for the 9060?

Another thought here is that the RX 6400 and RX 6600 have a PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, respectively, so perhaps they would suffer less from being constricted to a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot? Or am I thinking in the wrong direction here?

Currently we're mainly playing Baldur's Gate 3, but who knows what we'll be playing in the future :-)

I'd be happy to hear any suggestions / opinions / etc. that might help me decide. Thanks in advance!

-----------------------------------------

Here is my current setup:

MSI Pro B850-p Wifi + Ryzen R5 7600x3d + Patriot Viper Venom 2x16GB DDR5-6000 CL30 + Sapphire Pulse RX 9070 + be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 850W, all in a Fractal Torrent Compact case.

Okay, so, there's a game I've been waiting for for a while that just came out a few days ago. It's called FEROCIOUS. (It's an FPS game with dinosaurs). I'll get to the point quickly: The game does NOT run well. In certain areas, it's under 30FPS on the lowest possible settings and resolution.

I felt that wasn't right, so I booted into Windows and tried running the game there. And the game runs absolutely fine on Windows. I'd even say it runs decently well on Windows, from what I tested.

I've seen some performance degradation when running Windows games on Linux occasionally, but I can't remember the last time it was this bad. So I figured I'd ask here if someone perhaps knew of a way to fix the issue, or if it's something the developer has to fix. (I know I could just play it on Windows, but I'd rather not unless I truly have to, especially if it's a simple fix that I'm just unaware of)

The game uses the Unity engine (I am not sure of the exact version of Unity it uses) and my specs are as follows:

GPU: RX6600

CPU: i7-11700 4.9GHz

RAM: 16GB

OS: Debian 13 KDE

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
