This might be too specific. I am currently playing Warhammer 3 with more than 100 mods enabled, and my mod manager or any other mod manager I could find doesn’t support linux. I am using Windows 11 rn but want to switch to linux, but still want to play Warhammer 3 with +100 mods.

Is there any way for me to do this or do I just need to switch to linux after I am done with the game?

I really don't have a clue what's going on in Tingus Goose, an upcoming idle / clicker game in the spirit of stuff like Cookie Clicker. It's supremely weird.

Valve have remembered that Steam Labs exists and have a new experiment for us all to try: a personal recommendations calendar for recent and upcoming games.

This would be the first time I make a PC, and knowing how bad Windows is, I thought of putting Linux in this computer.

Context: I have an Xbox series X many games bought digitally and no desire to redo game pass given the price increase. The solution would be simple, make a Windows PC so I can play all the digital games there and no problems. But the problem here is Windows, I don’t like it, I hate that it has to be constantly updated, it consumes too much resources and is unusable at times. So, is it possible on Linux to run the games purchased on the Microsoft Store?

Nobara42, full red rig here. Is there a manufacturer of a mouse and keyboard that is fully customizable (like keymapping) under Linux and suitable for gaming? And, like the cherry on top, manageble LED remapping with profil saving? I am unfortunately not able to use openrgb in a propper way (maybe iam too old for that sh**t) :-) Right now, i have a mouse and keyboard from steelseries and not able to customize it. Greetz

After a system upgrade on Arch yesterday I found that any 32-bit games running through Vulkan (basically just Source engine games and Proton+DXVK on older Windows games) would instantly crash with a segfault. After a good few hours of debugging I found that the lib32-amdvlk was the source of this problem, likely related to the fact that AMDVLK was discontinued about a month ago and subsequently taken off the Arch repos. I wasn't aware of this at all, and for some reason had AMDVLK as my only 32-bit Vulkan driver, so it was simply a matter of installing lib32-vulkan-radeon and then uninstalling lib32-amdvlk and everything was back to working fine, with no noticeable difference in performance. I'm not sure if this is a problem on any other distros, but if anyone else on Arch has come across the same problem I hope this helps. Happy gaming!

So maybe a year or so ago I was running windows 10 on my PC, and I picked up Deathloop on Steam. I installed it, but waited too long to try to play it, so I couldn’t get my money back when it refused to run. I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, driver updates, and OS updates to no avail. When launching the game, it would do nothing.

About 6 months ago I got fed up with Windows and installed Fedora on my PC instead. Yesterday, just for the heck of it I decided to install Deathloop since it was still in my library… and it ran just fine!

TLDR- Deathloop wouldn’t run on Windows 10 at all, but runs fine on Fedora.

So as the title says, I came back to play BG3 after like half a year absence and I'm having the strangest, and fairly replicable crash I've ever seen in a game. I'm on an Arch-based system and I never had any problems playing it, even modded, on EndeavourOS before, as well as Fedora 41, Fedora 42, Linux Mint or a few others.

So for some reason, once I get to around Shadowheart on the Nautiloid, the game starts very consistently hanging after hovering over items in the inventory. It seems to happen when the item's context menu drops down. After which, the game hard freezes, it starts usually having a weird 1-2 second audio feedback loop of whatever sound was playing, the primary monitor goes black (although the second one will also go black if I focus it by moving the mouse over during this), and then the part has truly baffled me. I'll get a notification of a display configuration reset from KDE Plasma and, very specifically: my browser, Obsidian notes if it's open, Steam, and Discord will all quietly CTD as well.

The important thing is it's specifically those programs that have made this the first time I've been completely lost troubleshooting. I thought that maybe it had something to do with GPU acceleration being on in those programs, but Steam still did it once it was off and I'd find it weird if Obsidian had that (should also be noted all of these are native, non-Flatpaks too).

As for any specifics of what I'm running/what I've tried:

• The game is using Proton GE 10-21 (the most recent), but I tried it with 10-20, Proton Experimental, and downloaded CachyOS' just to try with no difference.
• My GPU is an AMD 9070 XT. 128GB RAM. Ryzen 9 7950X CPU.
• I have verified the game's integrity.
• Steam launch options I've tried are: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="DWrite,BG3WASD,BG3NativeCameraTweaks=n,b" %command% --skip-launcher --vulkan
• WINEDLLOVERRIDES="DWrite,BG3WASD,BG3NativeCameraTweaks=n,b" %command% --skip-launcher --dx11
• WINEDLLOVERRIDES="DWrite,BG3WASD,BG3NativeCameraTweaks=n,b" PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command% --skip-launcher

Whether Vulkan or Direct X, I haven't noticed a difference. I don't know if there's a preference these days. I do know that even Linux users were recommending against Vulkan when the game first released though because it was implemented so poorly. Other than that, I can't think of more information to add that would be useful to identifying the problem

I am on Debian 12, RTX 4070, ryzen 9 5900x.

I just cannot get the game to run properly. Using anything but proton 10 beta it will just refuse to get past the launcher, and proton 10 will get it right past that to the splash screen where it then crashes immediately. Windows users have managed to get further by setting the game's exe to be 'Run as administrator'. I tried GE-Proton, same issues.

How do i approach this ? Has anyone managed to get it to run, and if so how ?

There are only a few key features left that are being worked on and will probably be implemented soon:

• Wine-Wayland becoming the default in Wine/Proton
• NVIDIA VRAM/DirectX 12 fix
• Vulkan compositors - KWin and GNOME
• Proton using NTSync as default
• CEF fixes in Wayland (Needed for apps like Steam & OBS Studio to run Wayland natively)
• VR on Linux (SteamVR) - Needs ootb support for the majority of VR headsets.
• Steam Link / Remote Play Wayland support - Better Wayland capture and input APIs to work seamlessly.
• Apps supporting shortcuts with Wayland

I switched to linux like a month ago and since switching I've ran into a constant issue where after an amount of time my entire pc will freeze. Its not like a full freeze, it is almost like im getting 1 frame per 5 seconds and eventually slows to a full freeze that then lasts for minutes. It doesn't even crash the game afterward, it just boots me to the login screen and say "connection to game server lost" and then I can play as normal until it happens again. Any help would be hugely appreciated. This is the one game that I can still play with my friends

I have Linux KDE set to my monitors max brightness of 603 and max sdr luminance set to 203. W11 on the right calibrated via the app set to 603 default and followed the instructions. From what I can see KDE is really close. A slightly better contrast and color saturation on windows. Hopefully the KDE 6.5 release and it's time mapping improvements fix the rest. A lot of posts suggest between 200 and 250 for tht sdr max luminance. 203 is the correct number to match what most HDR is mastered at. Tbh this game isn't the most apparent. I noticed it more in Alan Wake 2, the sky in Bright Falls. I read there is a fix for srgb highlight oversaturation coming with 6.5. I saw this exampled in Xavier's HDR blog for Kwin. These photos are taken via my phone and the monitor is a LG 27GS95QE.

I tried to game on Linux with NVIDIA, but there were always compromises.

Finally marched over to Micro Center and got what I needed, spent a couple hours swapping out the hardware, and I’m off to the races. Currently trying Nobara, but I might go back to Bazzite just because I appreciate the experience of booting straight into game mode, and (maybe unlike some) I seem to have a better experience using Gamescope.

But still, so smooth so far. Both the (lack of) setup, and also the gameplay itself. I swear whenever I can compare and contrast, it seems like Windows always has some level of frame pacing or very small stutter issue, and the Steam on Linux experience (I’m guessing mostly due to the shader pre-caching process) is smooth as silk.

I’ll eventually get around to dual-booting Windows 11 on my second drive for anti-cheat games and VR… eventually.

Anyway, moral of the story is, if you are building a new PC or upgrading and want to game on Linux, just go team red. Trying to fuss with NVIDIA just isn’t worth it, IMO.

Hello all! New here to the group and new to Linux gaming. I'm running into an issue with Ninja Gaiden 4. I was able to get the game installed and running on Zorin OS, but it won't continue forward stating that I'm missing the VP9 codec. Does anyone know how to fix this issue (if there is a fix)?

All I could find was .appx packages, which to my understanding, can't be installed on Linux due to being Windows binaries. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
