I'm not sure if this is an Overwatch thing or a Linux thing. I switched from Windows 11 earlier this week to Silver Blue and have found it to be a pleasant transition, no performance issues whatsoever. I installed Overwatch 2 and found no difference in performance compared to Windows 11. However, it seems just recently like literally today, there was an update to the game (I run it through Steam), and it's as if this update caused an unreasonable dip in performance. I went from easily 160-180FPS on the ultra preset to literally 30-40 FPS on lower presets (I tried lowering from ultra to high to see what would happen). I then changed my power setting from balanced to performance, launched the game again, and found the same extreme dip in performance. I have no idea what exactly the cause of this issue would be and am wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.

I've noticed this in two games now (path of exile 2 and persona 3 reload) but I sometimes have some games flicker, almost like it's going dark every second frame pr something. I'm assuming it's a framerate/screen refresh rate issue, but I'm not entirely sure where to start trouble shooting it.

Im on Arch with latest nvidia drivers with KDE plasma. Pretty sure I have VRR turned on in the plasma settings, but only the two games do this and it's only sometimes. I haven't played path of exile for several months so I don't think it's a specific driver or proton version issue.

I'm trying to get Skyrim running, but it's currently loading into VR mode.

Things I've tried: - Checked ini files for stereo, none found; even hardcoded off - Ran in D3D mode, fixes it, but gives unplayable texture flickering - Different proton modes

I'm running Arch Linux, and for some reason, most or all of my games instantly close when I try to open them. My internal HDD is refusing to mount on startup as well, but it's happening to games on both my internal and external HDD. I have no games installed aside from Sober (Roblox app on Linux) on my main SSD, and Sober runs just fine, though it may be a Steam thing. I selected my proper drivers with the archinstall as well.

Hello everyone, Just build my wife a PC, and initially wanted to install windows, but as it would require more pain for signing her up and everything, I decided to transfer her to Linux as well, with Bazzite being the choice for simplicity and it working, POP OS would likely be the other choice. Now her primary game is Hogwards Legacy and I am not sure if anyone here plays it or experiences the similar issues, but game loads fast, and on Medium setting 1440p runs well, but it is getting a huge frame drops, which hitch anytime casting spells or even entering new toom. I have not encountered same issues on my main Fedora 43 system, although I am not as far in the game as she is.

Computer Specs:
Ryzen 7950x (105W Eco mode as her cooler cant handle much more)
RTX 5060 Ti
32 GB 6000 MHz CL36
B850M Motherboard,
1000W Psu
Samsung 990 Pro

As for the temperatures I see the CPU hovering around 90 degrees in game with frequency fluctuating between 4.4 and 5 GHz or so not sure if that would be it.
GPU is at comfortbale 60 degrees.

Running proton experimental. Started from big picture mode as well as KDE desktop

Game Settings:
Initially All HIGH with DLLS Set to Quality - Huge stutters when casting spells but else around 70 FPS
Now All MEDIUM native 1440p - stutters decreased but still when casting spells, the 1% lows drop alot. Besides that around 120-150 FPS.
GPU is always around 97-99% utilized.

I am looking around to see what it could be as not sure if its the CPU potentially or if the game just does not perform well at all, and if anyone has encountered a potential fix or solution that worked for them.

This is using the steam link app for mac on the app store.

I really wanna be lazy and stream my games from the comfort of my couch, if someone has this issue please help me fix it.

I dual boot Windows 11 and CachyOS. Today I tried to run factorio (installed via Steam, linux native version) on Cachy and I noticed my save runs at lower fps/ups than I would normally run on Windows.

So I went to the benchmark website (FactorioBox) and ran two benchmarks.

This is from Linux (181 fps) FactorioBox Results

This is from Windows (227 fps) FactorioBox Results

Not sure why and what I can do to find the problem.

Hello everyone. I am running Arch and trying to run Touhou 6 using the thcrap patcher. I can run the unpatched game fine but the patcher throws errors. I am using WOW64 mode, which I do not know how to disable as attempting to create a 32 bit prefix throws an error.

I am using a 64-bit wine prefix on Wine 10.18 and I have installed Wine Mono Runtime 10.3.0 and Wine Mono Windows Support 10.3.0, verified within the wine uninstaller.

When I attempt to launch the patcher, I get an error saying the application requires .NET Framework v4.0.

The output when I attempt to run the patcher is

WARNING: radv is not a conformant Vulkan implementation, testing use only. WARNING: radv is not a conformant Vulkan implementation, testing use only. 00ec:err:environ:init_peb starting L"Z:\\home\\ray\\touhou\\patches\\thcrap\\thcrap.exe" in experimental wow64 mode 00f4:err:environ:init_peb starting L"Z:\\home\\ray\\touhou\\patches\\thcrap\\bin\\thcrap_configure_v3.exe" in experimental wow64 mode [ray@icebox .wine]$ 00f4:fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION submitted by /u/No_Insurance_6436

I’m going to be installing Linux soon bc I’ve had it up to here with Microsoft. I’ve heard Bazzite is kinda considered the gaming distro, but I like tinkering so would prefer Mint or similar. My question is, what features does Bazzite have I’d be missing out on with Mint? Will drivers for my graphics card be a pain?

Specs (I know I know, I'm too poor to upgrade my PC):

WDS100T3G0A 1TB SATAIII SSD

32 GB DDR3

Intel Core i3-4130 3.40 GHz

GT 1030 2GB

Asus Z87 Extreme3

using Bazzite right now, the system was forced to update, cant copy paste shit to games anymore, rip me.

On some very rare instances, the copy paste works just fine, but I dont know how to replicate this "bug"
