Dear Krafton and PUBG Corp,

I hope this message finds you well. As a passionate member of the gaming community, I feel compelled to reach out and express the growing frustration many of us are experiencing.

Since Valve launched the Steam Deck, we've seen such amazing potential for Linux gaming through Proton. BattlEye, the anti-cheat system you utilize, has had official support for Linux/Proton for quite some time now. Valve has clearly stated that enabling this support is simply a matter of communication—just an email or a quick toggle in the developer portal is all it takes.

So, why does PUBG remain inaccessible for Linux gamers?

Games like Apex Legends, DayZ, and The Finals have already embraced this support and welcomed a new wave of players. Unfortunately, those of us on Linux looking to enjoy PUBG are left with a tough choice: maintain a Windows partition just for this game or walk away from what we love.

We’re not asking for a fully native Linux version or special treatment. We are simply asking you to:

1. Recognize the Steam Deck and its growing community of Linux users.
2. “Flip the switch” to enable BattlEye on Proton.

The technology is there. The anti-cheat is primed and ready. The operating system is capable. What’s holding us back is the choice to overlook a vibrant segment of the PC gaming market.

Please reconsider. We shouldn’t have to choose between our preferred OS and enjoying your game. Let’s make this happen—enable the support!

Linux

Windows

Does anyone know why the graphics in Wuchang are so grainy/pixelated when running under proton? I've tried it on Windows and while moving the camera the hair looks good and there's no "grainy" effect on nearby textures, while on Linux it looks horrible..

I don't know how to make it look the same as it does under Windows, I've tried Proton-GE, EM and Cachy's version and there's no difference. The graphics settings are identical. No AMD sharpening on Windows or FSR upgrade from Adrenaline.

Operating System: Arch Linux

KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5

Kernel Version: 6.18.5-arch1-1 (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 10 × Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 225F

Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.1 GiB usable)

Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT

I made a post recently asking for help with a periodic repeated slowdown while playing Elden Ring. There was a lot of good advice, and this didn't seem to be an issue when running under Wayland, but for anyone else experiencing the issue and clinging onto X11 I thought I'd share the culprit and very simple fix:

If you've got Steam Background Recording on it will show this little preview of your session on the games library page, and if you've been playing for long enough it will cycle through different thumbnails. When it does this, it caused the very regular slowdown I experienced. The fix is to simply close the Post-Game Summary, or go to a different page that doesn't have it.

There's probably other things that can cause it for the same reason, but I can happily stream HD video in a web browser on the other monitor, so this might be a special case.

Hopefully if someone else is having the issue they see this and it helps them.

EDIT: I went to report it and there's already a year old report for it. Unfortunately it didn't come up in my searches,

Hi,

As title. In windows many games force disable vsync when frame gen is enabled requiring the user to force enable vsync in nvcp to resolve the screen tearing (I've never understood this, why would anyone want to play with tearing so I have no idea why games do this)

It seems similar in linux. I enable frame gen and then I get screen tearing as the game disables vsync. I've tried a few steam launch commands that claim to force some sort of vsync or similar but I can't say I've found any of them to be particularly smooth. Is there some sort of best practice combo of launch options to get the best experience with nvidia frame gen? Couldn't see this addressed in the CachyOS wiki.

Thanks!

The game sucks and we all know it, but it brings back many memories and is hella nostalgic. Is it possible to run it on linux?

I’ve been a Linux user for about an hour and I’m in love with it so far.

I installed Linux mint and I’m figuring it out but I’m wondering if there’s any tips that I should know from more “grizzled vets” out there. I have a NVIDIA gpu and I’ve seen some discussion about using the drivers that’s in a sense built by nvidia vs the one made by the people ( idk what else to call it). I believe I have the gaming stuff figured out I have twine installed idk if there’s anything else for games besides that but any tips would be amazing Ik this is like a vague post but even the littlest things would help a lot. Thank you all

Give me some of that sweet mech combat action - RIG Riot looks pretty fantastic, and now there's a demo available for you to try.

.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

I switched to Linux some time ago, and now that my current headphones (Arctis Pro Wireless) are breaking down, I'm looking at getting a replacement with better Linux support.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a set that matches some or all of these criteria:

1. Wireless
2. Durable/adjustable (I have a large head)
3. Good Linux compatibility (the SteelSeries set depended on proprietary Windows-only software to utilize it's surround sound drivers and some other features, which was really disappointing when I switched to Linux)
4. Good sound quality - if I can get something with enhanced surround, etc., that would be fantastic.
5. Closed back

Outside of that I'm not picky. It absolutely doesn't need to be a gaming headset; I do use it for communications but I can always buy a separate microphone.

Any recommendations greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I'm getting my new PC soon and I was wondering if the performance on this card is better now or if I should go for an arch based distro like Cachy or Endeavour. I would prefer to stick with Mint if possible since I've already tinkered with it a little bit but if the performance is not up to par with any of the other two I wouldn't mind switching.

I got this popup on launch:

FATAL ERROR: AppSystemDict: Error in Init() of interface 'RenderDeviceMgr001'!

Quick fix is to launch Steam from terminal and CS2 works perfectly.

I think it could be GNOME issue.
My Setup: Fedora 43 with GNOME 49, NVIDIA GPU, AMD CPU.

Anyone else? Permanent fixes? How can I make it work from the app icon/shortcut?

The download speed from GOG on my Steam Deck is throttled at 0.5MB/s.

I have tried both Heroic Launcher and Lutris, and I have tried both installing directly and using the offline installers—there’s no difference. Using a VPN doesn‘t lift the throttle, either.

My Steam downloads are at full speed of ~90 MB/s. Epic on Heroic Launcher is ~10-20 MB/s but at this point I’m not complaining. GOG however is borderline unresponsive. All I can do is download the game to my Windows PC and import it into Heroic. It syncs my saves because the save files are so small, but for updating and repairing etc, between the download speed and the many bugs I encounter with the Heroic client, it’s almost unusable.

I don’t know who caused the throttle but I’m almost certain it’s GOG. 0.5 MB/s download speed for 50-100 GB modern games? Man.

Hello,

I am a Genshin player on CachyOS via PortProton. I have been using it for a few months and had no issues until today when I encountered error 10310-4001 while logging into Genshin. I tried reinstalling it and switching to Heroic Launcher, but now I get a new error, 10010-4001, when logging in. I tried many different versions of Wine, but it still didn't work.

I can't install Lutris (both the Pacman and Flathub versions) because it's missing many dependency packages, preventing me from successfully creating a Prefix.

What should I do now?

Here's my system specs (hopefully this helps)

System / Environment OS: CachyOS (Arch-based), x86_64 Kernel: Linux 6.18.2-2-cachyos Desktop: GNOME 49.2 (Wayland, Mutter) CPU: Intel Core i5-11400H (11th Gen, 6C/12T) GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile (Discrete) + Intel UHD Graphics RAM: 8 GB Storage: Btrfs Laptop: Acer Nitro AN515-57 NVIDIA-SMI 590.48.01 Driver Version: 590.48.01 CUDA Version: 13.1 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile Bus-Id: 00000000:01:00.0 Memory: 4096 MiB Persistence Mode: Off Compute Mode: Default MIG: N/A Temperature: 43 C Power Usage: 15W / 75W Performance State: P0 GPU Utilization: 0% Active processes: - gnome-shell (Wayland) using 1 MiB VRAM

Thank you.

Useful Information that makes it easier:

* Launch options that I have used: https://pastebin.com/68JkHs95 .

* System Specifications(OS, CPU, GPU etc): https://pastebin.com/uG9S2n75 .

Hello!!

So I have really looked into everywhere and have tried everything and I keep getting random black screens and I'm just sad to be honest. The game in the beginning was working just fine when I specified what GPU to use, but after some re-launches I got a black screen when launching and I could only hear audio and the menu being interacted with my mouse.

Each time I got this problem I found a pair of new launch options (the ones in the first pastebin) and it made the game work for some time but in the end, random black screens when launching.

But now, I don't think the problem is in the launch options but something else?

Also, I'm running steam via flatpak if that's of any help.

I have also tried multiple times verifying the integrity of files, deleting the compatdata dir, specifying env vars in flatseal with command launch options but same thing happens. Myriad of different proton versions/GE as well which do not help.

Also if it's of any help here is a vulkaninfo output as well which gives a useful? error in the beginning? But I am not sure https://pastebin.com/HEN26L0s .

Anyways if you took the time to read all of this I'm really grateful since I honestly have no idea how I can fix this :/ .

EDIT: Now it's working with `DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU" %command%`. This is crazy.

I'm trying to check out the Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown free weekend. I saw that they fixed the Linux anti-cheat issue from the beta so I have hoping to play some of it.

However I can't seem to get my Xbox 360 USB wired controller working. It seems like it's not detected at all, no matter the settings. What I've tried:

• With and without gamescope
• Steam overlay enabled and disabled
• Disabled any sort of extra Linux gaming stuff, like mangohud, gamemode, vkbasalt.
• Steam Input enabled and disabled
• With Steam Input enabled, tried the keyboard and mouse template

I can verify that my controller works with other games, and is detected by Steam. In the game properties in Steam, under controller I can see that my Xbox controller has a blue circle next to it, hopefully indicating that it's detected.

I saw on Steam communities a thread of some other people having similar issues on Linux.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I could try? Are there maybe any environment variables for Proton or anything through Protontricks that I could try?

My system:

• endeavourOS
• KDE Plasma 6 Wayland
• Steam native
• Xbox 360 USB wired
• RX 9070 XT
