Halo MCC cant invite/join friend in co-op
My friend and I picked up Halo MCC on steam recently with the sale and the intent to run all campaigns on legendary. My main pc is running CachyOS, secondary multi boot but will say its running Windows 11 for this purpose, I also have a steam deck on SteamOS, and my friend is on Bazzite. I picked up another copy of Halo MCC on my second steam account while trying to figure out the issues we are having.
No matter what we do: lots of proton versions including GE10-34 (and protoncachyos on my cachy system), copying .dll files from the windows 11 install to the respective folders on the linux machines, all with EAC and without EAC running, friends on xbox live, etc, etc, etc... and nothing works. We only ever see the invite screen as shown below with ONE exception, the "Join Player" option turns blue if that "friend" is on Windows 11. That said we have never once seen anything pop up by clicking the invite buttons and even when the "Join Player" button is clicked (fron the linux player trying to join the windows player) it just imediately pops up with "Joining Failed. Your attempt to join this player has failed. Please try again."
Been at this for a week now so any help would be appreciated. Also not sure if it matters but on all the linux machines the game just freezes (at least 5 minutes) until you force quit or hit stop in steam. My next thoughts were to copy all .dll files from the windows 11 system32 and syswow64 folders to the linux machines and if that fails then to see if we can get LAN to work, though that will be a last resort as we would rather not have to wait to play for only times we can meet up in person.
Thanks

[Technical Issue] Terrain/Decal artifacts on Wuthering Waves (RX 7800 XT - CachyOS)
Hi everyone! I’m fairly new to the Linux world, currently running CachyOS + Cinnamon.
I’m reaching out because I’m experiencing a persistent visual bug in Wuthering Waves: strange lines or "seams" appearing on ground textures (likely decals). This happens on both Wayland and X11 (I mostly use X11 to avoid MangoHud flickering).
The amazing thing about Linux is that I can force FSR 4 and Ray Tracing (Medium) using PROTON_FSR4_RDNA3_UPGRADE=1, and the game runs at a solid 30 FPS. However, these texture lines are ruining the experience.
My Specs:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB (PowerColor Hellhound - Dual Bios)
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B550I AORUS PRO AX 1.3 Mini ITX
- RAM: 32GB (2x16) DDR4 3200MHz
- Storage: 2x NVMe 2.0 (2TB each) + 4TB SATA SSD
- Monitor: ViewSonic VX2728J-2K (1440p @ 180Hz, HDR10, FreeSync Premium Pro)
- Case: Cooler Master NR200P MAX
- BIOS: Smart Access Memory (SAM) is ENABLED.

Can't start Final Fantasy XVI with HDR
Hi everyone, I'm trying to run Final Fantasy 16 with HDR but every Attempt has failed so far.
I'm on CachyOS with KDE Plasma on Kernel 6.19.12. My PC has a Ryzen 7 5800XT and A Radeon RX9070XT wit mesa 26.0.5-4.
The game works perfectly fine without any launch options.
However I want to play it with HDR so I tried with Gamescope with the following launch options:
DXVK_HDR=1 gamescope -b -f -H 2560 -h 1440 -r 180 --hdr-enabled -- %command%
but the game crashes instantly with those.
So I tried Wayland next with the following Launch options:
PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 DXVK_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command%
This launches the little splash screen the game has. But before it would normaly switch to fullscreen and show the Square Enix logo it seems to freeze.
I tried both Launch Options with proton-cachyos 10.0 and Proton GE 10-34.
I don't know what to try anymore. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks :)

Borderlands 2 crashing w/o UHD texture Pack and PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1
Hey there!
My wife and I are playing BL2 atm because i want to get her into my favorite franchise.
I have the problem, that after some time my game crashes with "ran out of video memory". I'm aware that the UHD Texture pack causes this primarly on High End systems, because it does on windows aswell. But i have it uninstalled and tried the launch command "PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1".
Does someone have a fix for that?
Playing on 4k, fixed Framerate at 138. Physx is turned off, Proton Experimental because of Mouse leaving the game on fullscreen windowed.
Thank you very much!

AMD GPU Crash during gaming "ring gfx_0.0.0 timeout"
I am having an issue with playing the Pragmata Demo with the game freezing.
When playing for a few minutes, the game freezes hard and I can see these errors in my journalctl log:

Are any of you having the same problem?
The game was started with proton-experimental, proton-cachyos-10.0 and proton 10.0-4, but the behavior is the same.
I first had the issue on bazzite, but now switched to CachyOS, but the issue persists.
On bazzite my whole DE froze, on CachyOS it's only the game and I can kill the process and continue.
These are my specs / versions:
OS: CachyOS x86_64 Kernel: Linux 7.0.1-1-cachyos CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X (16) @ 4.85 GHz GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT [Discrete] Mesa 26.0.5-arch2.4I am experienced with linux in general, but pretty new to linux gaming, so I just maybe don't know what to try next.

Doomblade (Heroic Games Launcher) on CachyOS - doesn't perform very well
Hi, I'm trying to play Doomblade on CachyOS via Heroic Games Launcher. It doesn't work very well.
My System:
CachyOS GE-Proton10-34
Intel I5-11400H
16 GB RAM
NVIDIA RTX 3060 Laptop 6 GB VRAM
DXVK uses all off my VRAM and results in extreme frametimes.
WineD3D (PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1) is playable for approx. 2 minutes before thermal throttling starts.
GE-Proton9-20 won't even start the game.
I tried to submit a report on ProtonDB, but I ran into an authentification error. My intention with this post is to provide data for other NVIDIA laptop users. Based on (very few) ProtonDB reports, AMD GPU users don't have these issues with later proton versions, so I suspect an incompatibility between NVIDIA drivers and Proton for this specific game.
Thanks

Can Genshin Impact & Honkai star rail & Honkai impact 3rd run on linux?
I grew up with Linux so I know it well. In 2021 I played Genshin on Linux via Lutris(I may be confusing names or misremembering) for a couple of months. One day it decided to stop working and I couldn't figure out the issue. Is Hoyo games able to run now on Linux? I switched to Windows then because I am addicted to Genshin (lol). I am now fed up with windows and want to switch back to Linux. :)

How can I set switcheroo to use my iGPU as default?
I recently installed Fedora 43 on most of my home machines, ridding them of Windows. When I first set up my main gaming machine, it saw and used my Radeon 7900XTX just fine, but I forgot to enable the iGPU before the install. Now, the iGPU is enabled, and the OS sees is, but it refuses to use it for anything. switcherooctl list shows both, and shows the dGPU as default. How can I change this setting?
