RE2 Remake broken lights

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Mai 2026 - 10:50

Any way of fixing these? I'm on cachyos, using Mesa-git 26.2 with cachyos proton and a 9070xt, this screenshot was with cachyos proton 10 but I tried updating to 11 and still had the same rendering error. I tried GE Proton 10-34 with the same result and also proton 10 for arm on my retroid pocket 6 with vkd3d 3.0b, so I think it might be a vkd3d issue? but I'm not 100% sure.

Has anyone found a way to make RT/path tracing work on PRAGMATA on Nvidia?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Mai 2026 - 10:46

The game crashes for me if I use the wine detection enabled false thing. I saw somebody in Protondb saying that Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge solves it on the latest nvidia driver, but it still crashes on the initial loading screen for me. I'm on EndeavourOS with Nvidia driver 595.71.05 and a 4070Ti Super. I did manage to play Resident Evil Requiem with Path Tracing but this one just refuses to work.

If anyone knows a workaround, I'm all ears! Thanks

Anyone else do Linux gaming updates in two steps now?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Mai 2026 - 09:05

I’ve started doing the base system first, rebooting, then Steam/Flatpaks/Proton stuff only after I know the machine still boots clean. Not every update, but definitely for bigger kernel or Mesa jumps. Curious how many of you have an actual routine now versus just running the whole batch and dealing with it later.

Almost working native discord client audio isolation.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Mai 2026 - 08:19

https://github.com/ORGB-DYE/Discord-Audio-Isolation/tree/main

With this NVENC patch (https://github.com/relativemodder/discord-linux-vulkan-video-patcher) working with Vencord (https://vencord.dev/download/) the only thing I was missing was application audio isolation.

Vesktop works for audio isolation, but there is a 1080p30 quality limit and no NVENC.

So with my 0 coding experience, I tried to make a script with AI tools to solve my audio isolation issue. There are definitely issues (listed on the github) with the script, but it serviceable for my needs (streaming my gameplay to friends while listening to a podcast or music that they don't want to hear).

Hoping this helps someone or someone can iron out the bugs and we can have working discord screen share audio isolation with NVENC. I have only tested the script on my set up on CachyOS with a nvidia 3080 on KDE.

Finally moving fully to Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Mai 2026 - 06:19

Honestly I tried before and it was just a mess to play windows games (a mi of me having an ok to shitty PC and me don't knowing shit about Linux), I have since started working as a developer for involved with Linux, contributes to a couple of projects.

Tried this last week and oh man, it was amazing frame rate is so freaking smooth, I only care about TLOUS 2 no return and RDR2, but actually tried more than 10 games and ALL OF THEM worked fantastic and even better than windows, still having issues to use proton experimental but I am now using the latest GE proton with Lutris and it could not be an easier experience.

For someone that is not a GAMER, I just want to hit play. Get my controller and have fun for a while, this absolutely convinced me to move fully to Linux.

I am using Fedora 44 btw.

Honestly tries to debloat Windows 11 but it's just too much for the at that point, having to butcher a system so it can work decently is not a good sign for me.

Neverness to Everness, need some help (Linux Mint)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Mai 2026 - 05:07

I have followed some guides to install the game successfully, but afterwards it refuses to launch. Here is what I have done:

  1. Added the launcher .exe from the website as a non-steam game and ran it with default settings to install. I used DW-Proton Latest under compatibility

  2. Logged in with my account and compiled shaders. At this point I'm sitting at the game menu screen and all looks normal. I shut down the game.

  3. I add a separate non steam game with the game .exe which is called "NTEGlobalLauncher.exe" On my system the path is .home/name/steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/numbers/pfx/drive_c/Program Files/Neverness to Everness/NTEGlobalLauncher. I used the same DW-Proton Latest under compatibility

  4. I launch the game, and it never opens up. It cancels itself or fails to launch? I tried copy+pasting the entire game folder into a shorter directory with no difference.

  5. Any ideas? I'm stumped

Anyone managed to get Kiln to work?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Mai 2026 - 04:52

Hey everyone, picked up Kiln about a week ago, and got a chance to fire it up today. However, hasn't worked under a few versions of proton. Tried proton 10, 11 beta and GDK-Proton with no success, and two different errors. With proton 10 and 11, it states that the error is caused by:

LowLevelFatalError [File:C:\dfp-kiln-r-platform\Common\UE5\Engine\Platforms\WinGDK Source\Runtime\Core\Private\WinGDKPlatformMisc.cpp] [Line: 10] GDK runtime is not available

However, with GDK proton, it claims the issue is created by:

LowLevelFatalError [File:C: \dfp-kiln-r-platfrom\Common\UE5\Engine\Source\Runtime\Online\HTTP\Private\Curl\CurlHttpManager.cpp] [Line:240] Could not initialize libcurl (result=2), HTTP transfers will not function properly.

Bit lost on this one. I know it's been out for less than a week, but this seems like it's more related to the WinGDK Unreal plugins and an expectation of the Xbox app on the system. My system is running Bazzite 43. Any help welcome.

Emulation with disks

Steam deck's sleep mode on desktop pc, is that possible? I NEED IT!!!!!!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Mai 2026 - 04:10

Hi,

I have a Steam Deck and I love it. And what I love the most about it is the sleep mode.

I am a dad with 2 young kids, a wife, a full time job and a house to maintain. So, being able to put my deck in sleep mode at any moment and just resume at the exact same point is the main way I have able to play games in the last years.

But the thing is I also have a nice desktop pc for 1440p gaming on AAA games and I also love it, and I want to take more advantage of it.

So the question is : Is there a way to bring the best (IMHO) Steam Deck feature to my PC?

I actually run Bazzite (never ever going back to Windows, nope, never) and it's actually great (for me at least), but I am willing to switch to any distro that would actually permit it.

Thanks for your help!

Is Lutris safe?

Steam Hardware Survey Shows a small decrease on Linux gaming systems to 4.52%

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Mai 2026 - 02:42

After hitting a peak of 5%, the percentage of computers using Linux appears to have decreased to 4.5%, a 0.81% drop from the previous month. Windows 11 also saw a surge of 0.89% in usage.

This may indicate that a significant percentage of users who jumped to Linux after the end of Windows 10 support decided to migrate to Windows 11 rather than continue on Linux. Furthermore, we had a surge of users on Windows 10, which may show that another percentage of these users decided to revert to 10.

The next few months will tell if Linux can maintain this market share it carved for itself or even increase it,
