genshin freezes, what do I do

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. April 2026 - 09:26

I recently switched to linux mint from windows 11, need help getting genshin impact to work (genshin worked fine on windows)

My laptop:

Operating system: Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit

Linux Kernel: 6.14.0-37-generic

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5500U with Radeon Graphics × 6

Graphics Card: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Lucienne

Memory: 7.4 GB

Hard Drive: 512.1 GB

I installed genshin using lutris. Launching through the hoyoplay launcher doesn't work (expected) I also tried launching the genshin exe with lutris but that didn't work eighter (didn't launch). Added it to steam and I could launch it through there. It seems to work (laggy but it was laggy on windows too) then after working for a bit it freezes and I can still move the cursor with massive delay but it doesn't seem to take any key input. So I end up having to shut down my laptop with the power button. What do I need to do?

Lutris log for genshin:

Started initial process 23866 from gamemoderun /usr/bin/wine /home/user/Games/hoyoplay/drive_c/Program Files/HoYoPlay/games/Genshin Impact game/GenshinImpact.exe

Start monitoring process.

gamemodeauto:

gamemodeauto:

Also I found this: (driverError.log in genshin folder)

Monster Hunter World black screen after corporate logos

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. April 2026 - 09:02

I am using NixOS (if that even matters). I recently bought an rtx 5090 as an upgrade from an rx 6700xt. I have tried playing my fav game (Monster Hunter World) but have been facing issues with it. After the initial boot screen (Capcom logo, some other corporate logos), my screen fades to black and no further image shows.

This happens similarly in Elden Ring.

I have tried other gamess (Moinster Hunter Rise, Dark souls 3, Lies of Pi, Doom 2016, Metro Exodus) and faced issues with it telling me I dont have enough storage in the machine to play it (I have like 200gb left on that drive). I am not sure what the problem is. I have the game installed in a secondary drive from my root partition that has btrfs for its filesystem. I am not sure why this is happening. My laptop (rtx 5070) works just fine.

Specs and stuff:

GPU: RTX 5090
CPU: Ryzen 7 5800XT
Proton: GE-Proton-34 (Also tried Experimental, Hotfix and CachyOS)
Drivers: 595.58.03
Kernel: Linux Xanmod 6.19.12 (Same issue with 6.18.23)

Is it just me or?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. April 2026 - 08:32

Im having some weird issues with my Linux installations, I've tried nobara, pop os and cachyos. And all distros some times stall and is generally laggy.

I'm using a prebuilt intel Lenovo with a 4070. Could the lagginess be hardware fault or a compatibility issue? I know there used to be some nvidia issues previously, but I thought they were practically nonexistent now, or am I wrong? I've also ran a ssd check and a memory check with no issues. Any insights are appreciated.

ProtonDB suggestion: a "Common Issues and Fixes" section for each game.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. April 2026 - 05:01

Don't know if this is the right place for this, but I think it would help gaming on Linux a lot if each game's ProtonDB entry had a little FAQ section where the most well known problems with running the game on Linux and their solutions if any are listed. Like if a certain game needs a specific proton version or launch option to function correctly it's right there without having to scroll through every post on the page.

I'm tired of needing to thinker every game even through Steam. Even Stardew Valley has the multiplayer broken for some reason?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. April 2026 - 02:55

Native doesn't work and through Proton it only shows the LAN option. I'm just tired of needing to thinker every game and now even STARDEW VALLEY of all games? I don't even play that much but it just makes me want to switch back.

What to do with Nvidia?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. April 2026 - 02:12

Okay so I'm about to buy a Thinkpad which obviously only comes with Nvidia dGPU. I need a dGPU as I do play games sometimes. But Linux has some finger sucking problems with Nvidia it seems, or the other way around perhaps. So what to do? I mean maybe I'll even get drivers for it now, but what about once it gets a bit older? What kind of issues do you think I'll see with it? And what should I do with it?

Help with porting to Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. April 2026 - 02:09

So I am working on developing a game, and I need to know how does everyone either download and input everything in Linux, and or run the files through both steam and or Itch.io? I want to make this as easy as I can for the community, I do hope someone will reach out to help give me advice for this. The game runs on UE5, ive downloaded and exported it through the tool chain for Unreal.

Hyper Demon crashing in CachyOS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. April 2026 - 01:32

I’ve played almost 30 hours of Hyper Demon, most of it in Linux, without any issues.

However, I just updated my system and now Hyper Demon will reach the main menu and freeze there. Audio still works, but no inputs are registered and the animations on the menu freeze.

I tried some other games and it only seems to be Hyper Demon having this issue. I’ve tried a couple of different proton versions without any luck.

Any ideas?

8bitdo controller not working on KCD2

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. April 2026 - 01:18

OS: CachyOS KDE Plasma

hello everyone, me again!

Today I installed Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 via Lutris (through GOG source).

Runs fine, but the game is not taking inputs from my gamepad, 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless, connected via 2.4G dongle.

Tried everything and verified that was configured as xinput (it is) so I’m really clueless now.

This is the only game (atm) on which I’m experiencing this

Did someone had the same problem? If yes, did you solved it, and how?

Thank you very much for the answers in advance!

Nightreign help wanted

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. April 2026 - 00:18

So I just started messing with Linux recently, specifically Bazzite. I was having issues loading into a match of Nightreign in general, but changing to Proton GE 10.34 seems to have fixed that for singleplayer. I am still really struggling with the multi-player side of things. I have tried a couple of different launch commands and versions of Proton ranging from 7+ including hot fixes and experimental.

I made sure to install the Proton EAC runtime in case that was the issue, but no dice so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am still very new to Linux so please have some patience. Thanks in advance!

Getting green screen while playing Lies of p in Fedora

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. April 2026 - 00:18

First time this happened a few months ago since than it was fine no issues, now it is been 4th time this green screen issue caused again in 2-3 days I am using Fedora (Kernel --> 6.19.13, Mesa --> 25.3.6), I am using lutris and I have tried changing runners from latest proton ge to experimental to latest proton 11 same issue, it does not seem like a hardware issue to me, it only happens when I am gaming and in some areas only, I have only noticed this problem while playing lies of p.

Have you faced similar issue in Fedora or any other linux distribution? Please let me know how did you fix it.

Thanks

Christian Trading Card Game - Parabless

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26. April 2026 - 23:42

It's a Classic Hearthstone -formatted digital trading card game designed with biblical values as the pivot. It's not strictly "Bible The Game." It's about life as a large through Bible's perspective.

Everything is slotted into classes (7), alignments(Good, Neutral, Evil), factions, species(7) and forms(Spirit, Soul, Flesh & Craft).

Early Open beta opens up at 27th of April 2026 at 14:00 UTC +2.

Everyone who's interested is welcome to download it in Steam (Win/Linux) as it's currently free to play.

"As the creator, I wanted to play game like Hearthstone, but not Hearthstone. I saw a distinctive lack of games with healthy morals and that's how Parabless was decided. I wanted to make Hearthstone as my base starting point and fork out from there to my own direction. Less RNG, more control and tools for players (deck graph and deck tracker for example.)
I have big plans on how to scale the game if it ever gets wind under its sails. I'm humbled and grateful for each player who can enjoy this."
