Hi all. I noticed that No Man's Sky is on sale and the new content update has given me the push to finally try it out. I'm undecided between the GOG and Steam version.

I have read that the GOG version is updated a bit slower compared to the Steam version but I like that it comes with a DRM free installer and I believe the devs pay a smaller fee on GOG compared to Steam.

However, is the GOG version it easy to get the game installed and running? Is it as simple as downloading the executable and installing it via Lutris?

Are the GOG and Steam versions compatible for multiplayer?

Anything else I should know if I decide to get the GOG version?

I'm running Nobara with an AMD GPU.

Thanks.

Is anyone else having this problem? I crash out of every game I'm in, just a few minutes in, sometimes right away. Feels like it could be related to people joining, but not always.

If I'm trying to launch the game from Steam, it crashes after 3 seconds without opening any windows. My launch options were:

SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland STEAM_COMPAT_RUNTIME_SDL3=1 %command% -heapsize 750000 -vulkan -novid

When trying to launch executable file directly (SDL and COMPAT variables are set), I get the following log:

./hl2.sh -vulkan -novid SDL video target is 'x11' SDL video target is 'x11' AppFramework : Unable to load module engine.so! Unable to load interface VCvarQuery001 from engine.so

ldd output for engine.so:

I have a Dell G15 5511, Intel i7-11800H, RTX 3060. I’m trying CachyOS for the first time. I tried running a game, and it ran fine, but my CPU temperatures were consistently 96-100°C. The battery profile is balanced. How can I lower my CPU temperature to at least the 80s? On Windows 10, the same game ran at 144 FPS with 80-90°C CPU and 65-70°C GPU temperatures.

Also, I tried switching to power-saving mode. I got 60 FPS and a temperature of 70°C, but obviously, the game doesn’t run well on low FPS, which makes it even more annoying. I’m new to Linux.

Hey guys, I have trouble with my Elite Series 2 controller on my games such as MH Wilds which I desire to play with my Xbox Elite Series 2 controller. I've got this annoying issue now for 2-3 days.

The issue is the following: My xbox controller is initialized by the OS (CachyOS) and steam also recognizes my controller and the controller is also showing up normal in steam. I also can use the Big picture for example and my inputs beeing registered normally as it supposed to be. I connect my Elite Series 2 with an USB-C to USB-C cable which I also prefer over bluetooth due to latency tho

When it comes to start a game, for example monster hunter wild the game won't detect any input despite the controller is normally initialized by steam and also showing up under the "gamecontroller" setting in the settings application of cachy os. Also there my inputs of both joysticks and all the other buttons are correctly visualized when I press a button or push the sticks etc.

I've tried to troubleshoot it myself, look up if other people has got the same issue but I wasn't able to find anybody with the same issue nor how to troubleshoot it and correct this issue.

Despite beeing new to linux I've managed to un und re-intsall the dkms xone driver. I've tried both version the git and non git version and the issue persists. I also tried to use different USB Ports and different cables. I also made sure since I've dual booting parallel to win11 to update the firmware like twice at this point which also did not fixes the problem unfortunately

I am at a point rn where I can't help myself and get the controller to work in the games I'd like to play with it, I've also performed a bugreport which you can find right here: https://paste.cachyos.org/p/eed9a66.log

I hope some of you guys can suggest me something that I missed to try and help me to fix this annoying issue.

Competitive online games.

Is there any way to play Battlefield, even if it's V? Are there any games that run good online in large-scale warfare?

5v5 FPS games like Valorant, Rainbow Six, CoD, Insurgency—are there any alternative that run on Linux?

Not sure if that is the right flair to use so, I'm sorry if it isn't.

I've been thinking about switching to Linux for a bit and I feel like right now I'm seriously considering it more than ever before. But one of the main reasons as to why I still feel a hint of hesitation is that my PC isn't all that good in terms of specs;(referenced below) and thus I fear that whatever little performance I used to get on Windows would be significantly reduced if I'm using a software like Proton which I still don't fully understand what it really is. I've never touched a Linux OS before and I am seriously looking forward to this experience (I'm going for Mint), but I am still reluctant due to a very few worries, one of which is the issue I just proposed. So is it really going to be hard switching from Windows to Linux regarding gaming? And will I actually end up losing a significant amount of frames?

So, I tried gaming on Linux, but the performance feels kinda meh. Is it because the CPU is like being held back? When I play on Windows, the CPU hits 100% usage no problem, but on Linux, it’s not going all out. Any ideas why?

Title. Game starts to freeze up for like 1-2 seconds very often. Tried a bunch of things and some launch options from ProtonDB but the issue still persists.

Running RTX 2070 with i5-9400F and 32GB RAM. Tried both Proton Experimental and GE-Proton 10-15.

I understand patching the kernel and adding the custom edid file to my system but what is the most recent compatible gpu? I was looking at the amd R9 380x but not sure if it’s supported.

Of course i am not using any third party cheating software. Anyways, i cannot go into premiere, it will tell me that files dont have the correct signature (VAC).

Verifying the integrity of the game files did not fix it. I am currently reinstalling the game.

Anyone else, or is it a local "me-problem" ?`

EDIT: Completely reinstalling fixed it... weird.

This question may or may not be answered in the FaQ. I don't know, seeing as it's currently unusable.

EDIT: Tried it again with Proton Experimental to double check that I had listed the version right, and it just works now?! Okay.

So far: I am on the latest version of Linux Mint, and have tried Proton Experimental through Proton 7, as well as ProtonGE. On Proton Experimental, it loads to the main menu, but then is not interactive. I do know that one can use 'tinker steps' in the custom launch arguments section, but googling has proved less than helpful for what arguments to use when. Any additional information can be provided.

I have Linux Mint Cinnamon installed on an older Acer Aspire F15 and am having problems in Steam. I’ll open a game, play for about 5 minutes and then the cursor stops moving. I’ve checked in terminal commands and it’s still registering movement and clicks but is unresponsive on screen. I’ve tried updating i386 drivers and a few other fixes to no success… about to lose my mind
