I'm trying to set CAS sharpness for New Vegas in Heoric:

1. I have installed vkbasalt via apt

2. I have added a vkBasalt.conf file in /etc/:

effects = cas

toggleKey = Home

enableOnLaunch = True

casSharpness = 0.4

1. I have added a ENABLE_VKBASALT = 1 environment variable to Heroic

When I run New Vegas and tap the Home key, I don't see any difference.

Hallo. Meine Frau spielt quasi nur auf der switch. Ich auf meinem Towers der aber schon recht alt ist und auf dem ich letzte Woche linux mint cinnamon installiert habe. Ich habe sowohl die Java wie auch die Windows bedruckt Edition. Auf der switch gibt es nur die bedrock.

Wie können wir zusammen spielen? Braucht es dafür einen Server?

Hi, I'm currently in the process of transitioning to Arch because I was fed up with Windows. However, I haven't ever used (any) Linux as a primary system so I'm a bit stumped about some things - this is one of those.

I'm using Hyprland (because, well, pretty) on an Nvidia card. I've followed the Nvidia guide on Hyprland and checked everything is running with the Arch wiki guide on video acceleration.

From what I can tell, everything seems to be running just fine - streaming 1080p in YT does not significantly increase CPU load, so that checks out.

Vesktop, however, is a different story. It keeps all CPU cores at around 30% constantly (with Vesktop closed, I'm idling at ~2%). That's more than my baseline CPU load with FF, Discord and a bunch of other stuff open on Windows!

So since updating last week or the week before to mesa 25 I have been having multiple issues with games using proton freezing at launch other games work fine.

Plague Tale Innocence, Assassins Creed 2 , RE4 (original) , Assassins Creed Unity Freezes when loading after menus

Other games e.g Far Cry 2 works and gets into game using dxvk

I have tried reinstalling vulkan-intel and with and without vulkan-extra-layers vulkan-validation-layers

I also tried adding split lock disable environment variables to grub as it was showing in steam logs split_lock_mitigate=0
but after further testing it doesn't seem to help

I have also tried different kernels and ensuring I am using the latest steam beta client

Is it possible to remove windows and partition all my storage on the stock SDD to Bazzite? I have my Rog Ally X dual boot Bazzite/ Windows, however I play zero windows games, but I'm out of storage on the Bazzite side. I'd rather not swap the SSD if I don't have to.

The combination of lutris, wine, and AMD gpu is pain-free. I haven't had to deal with any of the DLL problems. Nvidia, on the other hand, is a never-ending chase of trying to figure out the correct version of c++ and direct x runtimes.

Hey,

I just bought rx 7800xt and getting it tommorrow to replace my A770. (Intel gpu on linux wasn't as bad as people say).

How's RADV in mesa-git compared to stable mesa?
is it stable enough to not bother with bleeding edge drivers in 7xxx series?

Never had AMD GPU on linux and I wonder how it is compared to Intel one.

Current configuration is fedora 42-beta with mesa-git and I'm wondering about changing to stable mesa.

sorry for not using arch btw

Over the last several months I have started making tech-focused videos, typically about gaming on obscure and strange hardware under Linux. The most recent was about a clinical AIO PC that happens to run a strange custom distro of Linux. I've been having a lot of fun with these, but I could use some help! I'm being buried algorithmically since I made a hard pivot from the early content on my channel. The people who have watched my recent output have all given kind words, so I hope you enjoy!

In Steam for game i have set

SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland

if nothing here, so Steam default is running it on XWayland.

When I last tried XWayland half a year ago (in KDE 6.1), it ran fine.

But now it runs terribly badly (GNOME48). Unplayable. Especially if I lower the resolution. It's recalculating in a strange way. And I get about 3FPS.

If I force the game to run directly on Wayland, it runs smoothly.

Does anyone have any idea where the problem with XWayland is?

I'll try testing it again on KDE 6.3.

I will experimenting with new settings from

Hello everyone! Tonight I would like to drag you all into what I have spent the last few hours tearing my hair out over.

TL;DR: I’m having trouble with my PS5 controller mapping correctly in Hollow Knight. When I get the controller working, it breaks my fixes for running at 3440x1440. I need help getting the controller working without breaking widescreen, and figuring out how to launch mods through Steam would be nice too.

Description:

I’m using Arch Linux (Kernel: 6.13.8-arch1-1) and I’ve encountered several issues while trying to play Hollow Knight with my PS5 controller at 3440x1440 resolution.

1. Controller Issue: When I plug in my DualSense 5 controller, Steam recognizes it, and button inputs show correctly in the Steam controller test. However, once I launch Hollow Knight, the controller mapping is broken—RT is mapped to both dash and menu, making the game unplayable.
   • I’ve tried enabling/disabling Steam Input, installing the Controller Fixes mod, and launching the game with and without Steam Input. No change.
   • The only thing that works is launching Steam in Steam Deck mode with this command: gamescope -W 3440 -H 1440 -f -e -- steam -steamdeck. This lets me play the game with correct controller mapping, but I don't understand why.
2. Resolution Issue: Hollow Knight doesn’t natively support 3440x1440. I used a hex edit to Assembly-CSharp.dll, which properly fixes the resolution. However, when I run the game in Steam Deck mode, the resolution is reset to 16:9, and the game only fills the center of the screen. I suspect Steam Deck mode uses a different DLL for some reason.
3. Mods and Widescreen: I installed the WideCamera mod to fix the widescreen issue, but it only works when running the game through the Lumafly mod manager, and I lose the fixes from steamdeck mode. I tried adding Lumafly as a non steam game, so I could open it after launching the steamdeck mode, but then the controller fixes don't apply. I tried making a script called Hollow_Knight.x86_64 that directs to Lumafly, so that launching hollow knight through steam would launch Lumafly, but then when I click "launch modded game" in Lumafly it gives the error "an instance of Hollow Knight is already running". Which, of course, Steam thinks it is because I renamed the executables.

My Goal:

I need to get both:

1. Working controller mappings (like in Steam Deck mode).
2. Widescreen resolution (3440x1440) with mods enabled.

What I Need Help With:

• Why does Steam Deck mode fix the controller mapping? Is there something I can replicate outside of Steam Deck mode to keep the controller working?
• If I can't replicate those fixes outside of Steamdeck mode, can I get Lumafly to run inside of steamdeck mode and keep the controller fixes?

Hope you guys can give me some pointers, or go somewhere in the right direction, because I am thoroughly lost.

Edit: 1 more thing. I borrowed a knock-off Xbox 360 controller, and it did work correctly out of the box. The PS5 controller does work perfectly out of the box (after disabling the touchpad) for Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. It also works out of the box for Hollow Knight on Windows 11. It is something about the PS5 controller, on linux, for Hollow Knight specifically that is going wonky.

I noticed yesterday that EA removed F1 23, the last F1 game that you could play on Linux that wasn't using EA's kernel level anticheat

You can only get F1 23 through EA play or a cdkey or last one...pirating F1 22 as F1 23 has DRM protection

The fact that steam deck or Linux desktop users need to go through this is so stupid

F EA :)

I have to place my graphics settings in games to the lowest settings to get the same fps as I did on windows. I’m brand new (3 days) to having Linux mint as my sole OS, and have no clue what to do. I’ve updated all drivers and can’t figure out how to set up game mode.

Any help is appreciated

Until recently my family has been using a mini-pc running ChimeraOS to run games on the living room tv, but we recently got a new tower sold to us by a friend. It comes with an Nvidia 4060. And honestly using windows in Steams Big Picture Mode is honestly really clunky and leaves alot to be desired.

So I was wondering if there was an alternative to ChimeraOS with support for Nvidia cards, I know that ChimeraOS doesnt support them. But are there any altenatives that provide the steamdeck like console dashboard but supports Nivdia?
