Blurry sprites in Monster Hunter Wilds

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 13:43

Sprites in the grid view appear blurry

One of the few games that I still use windows for. I have been trying to get it to work on Linux and, apart from the occasional one-off crash it seems to work fine. But this one minor issue bothers me and I cannot find anyone with the same issue.

In the screenshot you should be able see how blurry the tiny sprites in the grid appear. I have checked for half rate shading, it was disabled. I turned off any sort of upscaling or anti aliasing. The games resolution matches my monitor. I am playing the game through Steam with GE-Proton10-32, I have tried experimental and it had the same issue. The issue also persists with or without Gamescope. I'm not sure where to go from here. If anybody has an idea about what it could be I would love to hear it.

I'll include some system information:

Heavy screen corruption in CP2077 with AI upscaling

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 13:18

XeSS or FSR doesn't matter, using either renders the game basically unplayable when under Gamescope. In gnome, both work just fine.

Anyone seen similar issues?

Fedora or Ubuntu ?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 12:37

Hey, I’m currently on Ubuntu, but I’ve been thinking about moving to Fedora.

I feel like trying something different, but I’m not sure whether Fedora is actually better than Ubuntu overall.

For those who’ve used both, what do you think?

Ghostrunner 2 is now playable with Ray Tracing enabled on AMD GPUs

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 11:15

After all these years, following the release of Mesa 26, Ghostrunner 2 has finally become playable. To enable the Ray Tracing option, select DirectX 11 as the launch option in Steam, but add the launch parameters -nolauncher -dx12. Before Mesa 26, the game was unplayable due to stuttering during shader compilation.
Here's my full launch command:
PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 gamescope -W 2560 -H 1080 -f --hdr-enabled --mangoapp --force-grab-cursor -- gamemoderun %command% -nolauncher -dx12

What is wrong with FSR3 FG?!?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 11:09

Hi! I have recently switched from a 4070-ti to a 9070 XT. It runs very well in general and FSR4 looks at least somehow close to DLSS. One thing which is absolutely not working at all is FSR3 Frame-Gen.

I am running CachyOS KDE, my monitor is 165hz VRR 1440P.

No matter what I do, Vsync or not, Frame-Gen always looks as choppy as native frames. Mangohud shows significantly higher FPS with FG enabled, but visually, in terms of smoothness, it looks not a single FPS smoother than native.

What am I doing wrong? Resident Evil Requiem is a good example. No matter what I do, the only effect is Mangohud showing higher FPS. But it looks and feels the same.

Am I the only one thinking FSR3 FG is just bad?

Amethyst Linux Mod Manager - A Mo2 inspired mod manager for linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 10:19

Hello,

I'd like to share something I've been working on for a while.

https://preview.redd.it/c88hjrap6emg1.png?width=1433&format=png&auto=webp&s=18132db180946ccb7b39d406201f68e1e3d70b29

Amethyst is a mod manager for Linux inspired by Mod Organiser. It is designed to look and behave in the same way. If you've used or use Mod Organiser it should feel very familiar. I've always like Mod organiser's UI but hated running it through Proton so I made this.

It has: separators for mod organisation, conflict resolution, Update and dependancy checking, Multiple profiles, FOMOD and LOOT support, nexus api support and more

Currently it supports these games.

  • Skyrim (Normal, SE and VR)
  • Fallout 3 (Normal and Goty)
  • Fallout 4 (Normal and VR)
  • Fallout New Vegas
  • Starfield
  • Oblivion
  • Baldur's Gate 3
  • Witcher 3
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Mewgenics
  • Stardew Valley
  • Kingdom Come Deliverance (1 and 2)
  • Subnautica
  • Subnautica Below Zero
  • The Sims 4
  • Tcg Card Shop Simulator
  • Lethal Company

The Application will also auto configure certain applications used to mod games like Skyrim, such as Pandora, Pgpatcher, SSEedit, etc by automatically setting the arguments used to run these so all you have to do is add the exe and run it. A full list of these working applications is on the github repo

My focus right now is making sure the features I've added work correctly instead of adding new features / game support.

Setup and usage instructions are on the github repo. Feel free to open an issue if any arise.

Should I use PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 or PROTON_FSR4_RDNA3_UPGRADE=1

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 09:49

I recently started using CachyOS. Yesterday saw these variables and tried them.

I am using these right now. Should I switch to "PROTON_FSR4_RDNA3_UPGRADE=1" instead?

Oscillation/Rumble with Direct Drive Wheel in Forza Title

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 09:38

Hey there, im new to Linux based OS and im running Garuda at the moment. I experience a weird Problem, shown in the video, using hid_fanatec in Forza Horizon 5. I narrowed it down might being a Problem how Forza handles the direct drive wheelbase in combination with Proton and hid_fanatec. When i used the Startflag SDL_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI=0 the oscillation on Loading Screen and rumble Ingame stopped, since no FFB at all is delivered. Im running Proton Experimental with this game and it sadly persists in every Proton Version i tried, which also wanted to start the game without crashing. (Proton 9.0-4; 8.0-5: 10.0-4; GE-Proton10-32).

Does anyone have a clue or a fix which is beyond my current understanding? I couldnt find anything anywhere. My current workaround is simply Boot on Windows and play it there, but its definately no fix im happy with.

Launching Hytale on NVIDIA GPU with Hyprism gets stuck in "Stop"

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 09:19

If I set "Integrated GPU" in the settings it works and launches almost instantly, but setting the dedicated NVIDIA gpu gets it stuck in "Stop".

Also, it can't be launched standalone, I get different errors regarding OpenGL. I've actually posted about this issue here.

How to run an environment variable only when a specific game is running?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 06:23

Newish to Linux sorry if this seems obvious!

I’m using Faugus to run Battle.net and specifically World of Warcraft. I’m running the environment variable to enable Nvidia smooth motion, but I only want it when WoW is running. Running the terminal every time I want to play to set it is going to get annoying. Is there anyway to automate it to start and stop when the Wow.exe process is running?

Can I fully utilize my TV with this cable? (HDMI 2.1 problem)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 04:04

Hey everyone, so you know how it is lately with AMD and the assh*les over at HDMI with the drivers. I've recently gotten a TV (TCL C6K) and was really excited I would be able to use my PC with Bazzite-deck to play all my games, but I realized I'm restricted to only HDMI 2.0 and I can only get 4k@120Hz with limited HDR and VRR.

I know a lot of people recommend getting something like a UGREEN DisplayPort to HDMI 2.1 adapter, but I live in a third world country and getting something like that means basically waiting 2 weeks and paying 3x the price, so I was checking out 'local' solutions and found this:

Will I be able to fully utilize my TV with this on Linux with an AMD GPU? I'll really appreciate any help, thanks!

Need Xbox App on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. März 2026 - 03:37

Is there anyway to use the Xbox app on Linux? I need the social features, and the website is pretty much the bare minimum. I was wondering if there's any way possible for me to communicate with my Xbox friends and join parties, message them, etc on Linux. (Other than the website).
