Terrible Steam Download Speeds?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. Januar 2026 - 02:07

Howdy all. I've ran into an issue that appears to be a recent problem that I have not experienced before. I have fiber internet, and my PC is hardwired. My windows Install gets a much better download speed on steam than on linux. I figured this was just a hoi4 workshop thing, as it's where I first noticed it, but it was present when downloading soul hackers as well.

I found a post here saying to disable http2 in the config file. It worked for about 30 seconds.

I'm using arch for a distro, with the native package from the repo. Windows is installed on the same hardware, on another drive that is identical hardware wise to my Linux drive.

The Linux download speed

The same download, on Windows

In all my years of playing with Linux desktops, this issue is new to me. It's also new to me on this machine.

How to fix EA app???

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. Januar 2026 - 00:48

on my steam deck, I have multiple EA games, but I can never play them offline because apparently I never clicked “stay logged in” when I first opened an EA game. this WOULD be an easy fix on my Windows PC where I would just be able to log out and log back in but this time I would actually click “stay logged in” but I can’t find the EA app for the life of me, no matter what I do the EA app does not show up on my desktop or in my Discover page. Can someone please help??

How is VR on linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. Januar 2026 - 00:28

With the upcoming steam frame, it makes me curious how VR is currently for things like the index, or the quest via steam link, can you mostly trouble free play beat saber?,VRChat? or is tinkering going to be largely required to make these things work, if at all

Terribly sorry if this is a stupid question

Linux Mint outperforms Bazzite in these gaming benchmarks (Ryzen 5 4600G and RX 6600)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. Januar 2026 - 00:26

The gaming distro... doesn't actually offer better gaming performance. I would suppose the bleeding edge benefits are there if your GPU came out less than a year ago, but after that... it would seem there really is no FPS benefit.

Online Games Slowdown on Arch Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. Januar 2026 - 00:08

Hello,
I have an issue that some online games, specifically Sonic Racing Crossworlds and Tekken 8 are running with slowdowns. Like the game runs at slow motion.

I reinstalled Arch, It worked for a while, but the slowdowns came back. These slowdowns cause the games to kick me from matches.

I have an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and RTX 3060

Linux DE/WM for Gaming

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. Januar 2026 - 00:04

I'm not new to Linux, but I am far from on expert. I use a mixture of all three for different things but am looking to cut MS out of my life after they decided my PC was trash and dropped Windows 10 support. Real punch in the gut move to bring me down and then knee me to the face right after.

Anyway, I know people very often use mostly KDE, and sometimes Gnome for their gaming machines. Does any of that really matter? (Is Cosmic okay, too?) I am thinking of looking into WM as I've never tried one before, and I'm wondering if they are okay for gaming too or if none of this actually really matters.

If it matters: I am deciding between my new PC being either base Fedora, PopOS or maybe Bazzite.

Thanks, all!

Any rapidfire mouse options for Linux Gaming?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 23:10

Howdy folks, so wanted to start off the new year as I mean to go on and ditch Windows and start using POP!_OS for my gaming needs. My main game of choice is FFXIV which I play on keyboard and mouse. I've encountered something I fear my muscle memory will not move on from that I'm hoping someone might have some advice (I did search but couldn't find this topic).

Two of my mouse buttons on my Logitech G903 I have set to rapidfire when they're held down. This only works when not on the onboard memory however, so not working over on my POP boot. I tried Solaar but it can't even see my Logitech mouse or keyboard. I tried Piper and Ratbag but that could similarly only change the keys but not let me use things like macros.

Do I have any other options? I would literally go so far as to change mouse brand if any other gaming mice can natively handle things on Linux.

Unreleased gear of war 3 content in gears 5

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 22:58

I would like to know how i can get this content that YouTubers Sparckl and Helios uploaded a while ago in these videos.

It shows them playing with weapons like the Boshka, ink grenades, the armored shield, the mortar, dual hammers, the Gorgon pistol, the Excavator, and the Hammer of Dawn, as well as being able to play with the Locust in Horde, such as the Mauler, the Grinder, and the Ticker.

I have the Steam version of Gears 5, but since YouTuber Sparckl deleted his story on Instagram that showed up in his instagram story to get the mod link, i don't know how to get it now.

If anyone knows how to get it, or what the mod is called, or where i could look for it or find it, whether on Discord or some specific mod site, i would really appreciate it..

Want to save. The latest open-source bleeding-edge eye-candy

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 22:37

Hey Reddit Community,

I have a bleeding-edge Linux YouTube channel i would like saved / archived. Is there anyone out there that can help with that?? Want to save the data, even outside of youtube if possible.

Im just unsure how and looking into possible solutions for it. But would like, possible input if anyone here at the community, have any ideas, as too how??

Also like to add, that its not that i dont want to take part in the community, (new account) But rather i feel a need and somewhat also a desperation to somehow (if possible, but would very much like too) save the data. First, possibly, before engaging more within the community. here on Reddit,

It may seem unimportant too those outside of that do not play games on Linux, but for me. Ive personally put in a ton of manual work and would appreciate help on the matter more than anything.

Anyway, finally here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNq7pDavJRTEjg3AOdcuMAg

Fallout 4 Modding Issues for Steam Deck

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 22:14

I'm at my wits end. I've verified the files, updated F4SE, started new MO2 instances, I even completely uninstalled and deleted everything and it just won't load MO2. Can someone help me? I just want to play Fallout 4 with mods again. It hasn't worked since the update so I gave it some time, but nothing helps.

I'm actually pretty frustrated about it because I made it a nice little horror escapism and one update later it's gone and I spent a lot of time on it. :/ Sadness surrounds me.

I got Winetricks and Proton downloaded and then downloaded MO2. The three tend to work together in instances. I also make Fallout (and Skyrim for more context, which Skyrim runs just fine) forced to run in Proton-Experimental.

is gamemode dead or even needed at this point?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 22:06

i ditched gamemode a couple of months back simply because i never noticed any improvements using it and installing it seemed more like a routine than an actual solution to something. i looked at the github repo of gamemode today and noticed that the last release was more than a year ago, so is gamemode dying? was it ever even needed?

Please upvote my plea for linux support for Rainbow Six Siege.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 21:57

Hey guys I made one of these R6fix things to attempt to beg the devs into allowing linux users to play. Don't expect it to get anything actually done but felt like trying lol.

https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/3104663180636096966

Steam seems to state that it is basically a switch you can flip.

https://r6fix.ubi.com/projects/RAINBOW6-SIEGE-LIVE/issues/LIVE-80499

If you guys have a ubisoft account and can upvote or say that you "reproduced it on your system" it would help me out greatly!
