I wanted to get mangohud working for minecraft but prism launcher won't let me enable mangohud in its settings menu. I also tried a wrapper command to force it to launch mangohud but it says mangohud not found despite me having installed mangohud via both sudo apt install and also with flatpak commands. I am on linux mint.

Only made the migration a few weeks ago and my entire Red Dead Redemption 2 run was on Linux (CachyOS - Hyprland). I rate this graph will look completely different next year!

I'll believe it when I see it. It would be interesting if they made it a Linux exclusive though.

Linux gaming is going strong, but anticheat is still a big obstacle.

But is there something the linux advocates (like Valve, the FOSS community, or anyone) are doing to overcome it in the long run? Is there even something that I can do to help?

Or are we just hoping that devs will be forced to adapt once linux's market share becomes big enough?

BTW: I don't have a steam deck, could be the fact i was using game scope session for a while.

Since I've switched, games honestly seem to crash less for me than they did on windows and I haven't had to compromise too hard on performance to achieve that. However, when a game does happen to crash for whatever reason, it can sometimes lock me away from inputting anything that might expedite the process. This was a rarer problem on windows where most crashing games could be alt-tabbed out of and killed. On Linux however, a crash can lock me out of all function for 1-3 minutes unless I bite the bullet and force restart my system. I don't mind crashes since it's what I've come to expect from my pc. I just want the process to be as quick as possible.

Distro: Mint
Games in Question: Deadlock, Arc Raiders, The Finals (thus far)

It used to be possible to change the default installation location of Steam from /home/user/.local/share/Steam by moving the folder or deleting it. The next time Steam was launched, a message would appear asking "Couldn't find Steam content, did you move it?" Apparently this is no longer the case- it just downloads new files into ~/.local/share/Steam without prompting. I've searched everywhere to find a way to do this, but they all use the now-defunct method or only describe how to download games to a separate location from within the Steam client. Why did this method stop working? Is there any other way to achieve this?

My system is set up with the main filesystem (/bin, /usr, /opt, etc) on a large, fast NVME drive and /home on a small, slow SATA drive mounted at boot. Previously I placed my Steam directory in /opt/Steam, but I moved it to a btrfs subvolume mounted to /opt/games to exclude it from system snapshots. Unfortunately Steam didn't prompt me for the new location when I launched it.

I'm running Garuda Linux (based on Arch btw) using steam package from official repositories.

Hello, good afternoon. I have a fairly important question regarding NVIDIA drivers. I’d like to know to what extent they differ and whether each type of driver performs better. I’m referring to the proprietary driver and the Open Kernel one. I’d like to know how they differ and why people say the Open Kernel is better. What changes compared to the proprietary driver?

Thanks.

There is no audio. Every other game works perfect. Tested different proton version. Tested different kernels and mesa drivers. Same thing, every other game works flawless except resident evil.

How do I troubleshoot audio issues in Proton/Wine?

Hello, I’m new to gaming on Linux.

I’m trying to play Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice using Lutris. The first time I run the .exe, the game launches without any issues. However, after closing the game and trying to run it again, I get the following error:

“This game has no executable set. The installation process did not finish correctly.”

Additionally, when I try to manually set the executable path again (the same .exe I used before), Lutris becomes unresponsive and I have to force quit the application.

I don’t understand why the game runs the first time but not afterward. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a known issue?

I’m using Zorin OS 17.3. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I recently bought MH Wilds on sale and waited until today to play it bc of the performance patch.

The game froze as soon as I got to the language selection screen. Trying different versions of Proton didn't help, and it eventually got me banned for 24 hours by th Denuvo DRM anti-tampering. So I wasn't able to keep troubleshooting.

I'm using a 5070 Ti and 9800X3D and am running the latest drivers on CachyOS. Has anyone been able to play the game after the TU4 update or is it just 100% borked on Linux now?

Fedora 43 KDE on a brand new Thinkpad X1 2i1 Lunar Lake, using Steam (native) and Proton 10.0-3.

Like title says, if my CPU power profile is anything other than "Performance," having gamemode enabled via Steam launch options causes Battlefront 2 to have HIDEOUS input lag.

Luckily I don't need gamemode to keep the monitor awake cuz it's a mouse/keyboard game, but I have to play on Balanced power mode or else the computer bounces in and out of thermal throttling and my FPS waffles between 30 and 60 every minute or so.

Where's the place to report such an issue? Would this be a Proton thing?

Hi I am brand new to Linux with almost no experience with the operating system at all. I am on the latest stable amd version. I managed to install the app image for the native Linux curseforge client, but I am unable to log in. It opens a web browser, has me log in which I am successfully able to do, and then has "Open App" and nothing happens, and it never logs me into the app.

So I went to the wiki and I read it over and over and ive been going in circles for hours because I can't figure out HOW to install the appimagelauncher that CurseForge support says to get to resolve the log in issue.

https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher

They keep saying the have an rpm, a .deb and a tar.gz. I just cant figure out how to get any of to actually do anything to make curseforge work. I need CurseForge so I can sync over my WoW add-ons library and settings since I have moved over from Windows tonight. I got WoW working after some tweaking Lutris.

I have installed box buddy and tried to install it with distrobox but it keeps saying the file names I'm typing in dont exist.

Ive tried it from the terminal. Ive tried it all kinds of ways but I just cannot figure it out. Can anyone please help me get this working?

Just a quick edit to bring that chart everyone sharing, but for those who dedicated to only one platform.

It's my first year using only Linux (was dualbooting for years before), so I guess I want to celebrate it somehow... even if it such a silly thing.

P.S. Sorry for this shitpost, it probably will be deleted as the rest of steam replay posts. Please don't ban me, I rarely post/comment anyway.

I'm new to Linux and I understand that playing games on this operating system is very complicated, but I found this page and I'm wondering if it works or if it's safe.

I don't know what you all think.

So, for the past 6 months or so I have been daily driving Fedora Linux, and I’ve really enjoyed it. It was fun having control over my hardware again. The customization options are amazing and I feel like KDE Plasma has come a long way. Don’t get me wrong I really like Fedora! Learning some of the console commands has also been interesting and troublesome to say the least, lol. Here are a few things that make me want to go back to windows are the following:

1. The adobe software is available
2. I don’t have to worry about compatibility issues with games
3. I didn’t have much issues with windows in the first place
4. I have some windows only software and I just want things to work without me using the command prompt

I have Linux on a separate drive so I won’t be completely uninstalling Fedora, it’s just going to take a back seat for a bit. I’m sure this post will get some hate but I just wanted to say I appreciate the hard work that has gone into Linux and with valve’s support it will only get better.

Thx for reading, I just wanted to say a few things and I hope everyone has a good holiday break!
