NVIDIA Highlights under Linux: Working! I did a thing...
Since I switched to Linux for gaming, the thing i miss the most, is automatic capturing of NVIDIA Highlights when playing Hunt Showdown.
I tried to look for a solution to use NVIDIA Highlights online, but there was nothing I could find. I was not even sure, who I would need to ask or who would need to implement this (proton?).
With general coding experience, but no idea about C++ and Proton I sat down over the weekend with VSCode and ChatGPT to vibecode an idea I had: Overwrite the nvidia highlights SDK dll with a mocked version, that routes the triggered highlight event to gpu-screen-recorder.
I read some docs on the nvidia SDK, I knew proton can overwrite and debug dlls and running gpu-screen-recorder already can be triggered to automatically save a replay.
And after the weekend I can confirm: The idea is working.
I successfully tested it with: MK11, Uncharted Legacy of Thieves and Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
I refrained from testing it with multiplayer games, as I learnt along the way, that anti-cheat measures can be triggered from tampered DLLs. So I chickened out on the original idea.
MK11 was the first game that worked. For the others, some additional functions in the dll had to be mocked, that were not needed for MK11.
So the assumption is: some more iterations might be needed when testing with other games, too.
Here is, how it works in general:
The GfeSDK.dll in the game folder is replaced with the mocked version.
Once a highlight is triggered the DLL sends an UDP package to a listener, that sends a delayed signal to gpu-screen-recorder.
Setup:
- Replace GfeSDK.dll in gamefolder
- set runtime/debug options via start parameters in Steam
- Start gpu-screen-recorder via terminal
- Start listener via terminal
- Start game
This is link to the source code.
https://github.com/IceCodingGH/LinuxGfeHighlights
Compiling the dll is pretty easy. Description in the link.
Keep in mind: The whole code was written by AI and only guided be me, based on docs and debug logs. My goal was to see, if the idea is working in general. Also there are debug outputs, that could be removed but are useful atm. Also I couldn't get this working with gpu-screen-recorder-gui, thus the terminal version, which is working fine.
I am doing this post to see if there might be some "real" developers with interest in this idea, that's why I am sharing the source code.
Plus: There might be some more braver souls than me, who want to test this in other (multiplayer) games, too. If so: Use PROTON_LOG=1. With that you can find out pretty easily which function the game might be missing in the mock.
Have fun!

HELP ME ... (Performance issues & input lag in God of War Ragnarök (CachyOS + Hyprland + RTX 3050 Ti))
Hi everyone,
I’m running an HP Omen 16 with the following specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5-11th Gen
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti Mobile
RAM: 16GB
OS: CachyOS (Hyprland WM + end4’s dots)
Kernel: Linux-cachyos-bore
launche options of steam :
SteamDeck=1 __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_PRIORITY_HIGH=1 PROTON_USE_WOW64=1 DXVK_ASYNC=1 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE=1 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 MANGOHUD=1 game-performance %command%
I installed God of War Ragnarök via Steam using proton-cachyos-10.0. While my average FPS is around 50, the game feels incredibly unsmooth. The frame rates are extremely unstable—dropping to 20 FPS and sometimes spiking over 100 FPS—even though I have a frame rate cap enabled.
I’m also experiencing severe input lag; when I press a button on my controller, there is a noticeable delay before the action happens in-game. Additionally, my performance overlay shows 0% GPU and VRAM utilization, which is very strange.
My questions are:
How can I fix these stability and input lag issues?
What can I do to get better, more consistent performance on this setup?
Would I get significantly better performance if I switched back to Windows for this specific game?
Any help or optimization tips would be appreciated!

GE-Proton10-34 Released
Proton:
- update latest wine bleeding-edge
- update latest dxvk
- update latest dxvk-nvapi
- update latest vkd3d-proton
- update latest vkd3d
- update latest FEX
- import proton script game fixes from upstream
- import aarch64 build changes from upstream
Protonfixes:
- added protonfix for god of war ragnarok playstation sdk error
- added protonfix to disable hidraw and enable sdl for gta v
- added protonfix for GOG version of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD
- added protonfix for cpu topology for Assassin's Creed 1
Patches:
- patches: Enable .exe dynamic relocation. For XIV specifically, this fixes issues with low address space being filled up by everyone and everything and, as a result, some plugins failing to apply their hooks and leaving the game in an unstable state.
New Features:
add new PROTON_WAYLAND_MONITOR to allow easier setting of WAYLANDDRV_PRIMARY_MONITOR
attempt to detect and set primary monitor if wayland is enabled and no primary is set
How these work:
You can now specify something like PROTON_WAYLAND_MONITOR=HDMI-A-1 to specify which monitor the wine-wayland driver uses when enabling wayland. Previously you could already do this using WAYLANDDRV_PRIMARY_MONITOR, but it wasn't documented. PROTON_WAYLAND_MONITOR is now an easier to remember envvar for setting that value. Additionally by default if no WAYLANDDRV_PRIMARY_MONITOR is set when enabling wine-wayland, GE-Proton will now attempt to use xrandr to detect the default primary monitor set by the desktop environment, and if found, display on that monitor, just like xwayland does.

Gamesir G7 Pro no vibration
Hi, has anyone working vibration with this controller? If so, what's your setup?
Everything works fine exept vibration. I tried it wired, with dongle and with bluetooth, always the same. I play on Steam where it's not recognised as a Xbox controller.
Firmware of dongle and contoller is up to date.
I found this and tried holding the Share + Menu button for 3 seconds:
1. Wired the controller reconnected but after that no change.
2. With dongle and bluetooth only the screenshot utility pops up (the share button alone always do that), no change of input mode, no vibration.
I also tried xone without success.
I use TUXEDO OS (based on Ubuntu 24.04) with kernel 6.17 and KDE Plasma 6.5 desktop. I also tried with CachyOS, exactly the same behavior there.
