Hey everyone,

So I managed to get vrchat working with alvr to my quest 3s, everything works great, and I even got the video player to work. However, whenever a video starts playing, my vision starts to wobble uncontrollably! When I stop the video, it stops happening!

It seems like it may be network related. Perhaps when the video is streaming, it's bottlenecking something.. I've already had to switch my DNS to couldflare for everything else to respond without taking 30 seconds to complete a network request such as joining an instance, etc.

My ALVR bitrate is set at 50MB/s. I have a dedicated router just for connecting my headset to my PC, so no problem there.

I am currently running:

----------------

System:

Kernel: 6.8.0-79-generic arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 13.3.0 Linux Mint 22.1 Xia base: Ubuntu 24.04 noble

MB:

TMPG B550 GAMING PLUS (MS-7C56) v: 1.0

CPU:

Ryzen 7 5800X

Graphics:

Radeon RX 6700

----------------

For Vrchat, I am using ge-proton-rtsp.

I have tried switching to hotfix, experimental, beta, and the latest version of proton, nothing changes anything noticeable.

Happy to give any more info if necessary, this is really driving me nuts. I just want to be free of the stupid 100GB windows partition just for vrchat.

Video attached shows it happening. Obviously, it's not as noticeable watching in non-vr, but you can see it. It's absolutely nauseating in vr.

On Windows the general advice seems to be globally enabling v-sync via the nvidia control panel, leaving v-sync disabled in game and then capping fps a few frames below your refresh rate with RTSS or reflex.

I'm aware I can just cap the game framerate with mangohud or other launch options but how should I be configuring v-sync? Do I enable it in game or disable it and attempt to enforce something like FIFO or Immediate through mangohud launch options?

I've watched Ancient Gameplays' Windows vs Linux Gaming Benchmark Retest he said he didn't do extra optimization/tricks after clean OS installs and I saw that Bazzite losing more performance than others when it comes to ray tracing. All linux distros was using Mesa Git 25.2 (Probably 25.2.0) during the production of the video. You can find it in video's comments.
But the bazzite image i am on has Mesa Git 25.2.1-4 so do you think performance difference in ray tracing is still the same?

Keep in mind i am completely newbie in linux. Should I do the switch and find out myself? I can't decide whether I should commit to it or not.

I am on 4K resolution and 9070 XT. (He doesn't feature 4K tests in the video)

Thank you for your answers.

Hey Linux Gamers, I’m stuck getting the "Walking Man" music player mod (Nexus Mods ID 93, Windows-only with dxgi.dll and walkingman.ini) to work on Death Stranding Director’s Cut on Fedora 42. The game runs, but the mod doesn’t show up. Need a Linux workaround! Here’s what I’ve tried:

• Setup: Running via Steam, thought it was native but Proton was auto-used (compatdata/1850570/ exists).
• Mod Install: Extracted Walking Man-93-1-0-5-1754405662.zip, added dxgi.dll and walkingman.ini to ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Death Stranding/.
• Proton Attempts: Used Proton Experimental with --use-dxgi launch option, got a Windows 10 1809 error. Removed mod, game ran without forcing compatibility.
• Wine Attempts: Set up a 32-bit Wine prefix (~/.wine-deathstranding), tried vcrun2019 with winetricks, but it hung at wineserver -w. Reset by deleting prefix and ~/.cache/winetricks/.
• Current State: Game launches with --use-dxgi, no crashes, but no music player. Folder has dxgi.dll, walkingman.ini.

Any workaround to make this Windows mod work on Linux? Tried Proton/Wine tweaks but hit walls. Thanks!

As the title says friends, I've seen videos and still nothing, I'm new to the topic (Linux) and I would like to play Caribbean games on my steam deck running lossless scaling. I can now run the ones from the steam store (except for those that have a launcher like borderlands 2) I am a newbie to the subject of commands but I have already added 2 commands, I don't even know how to separate one from the other, returning to the topic, is there a way to run the duck in games that are not stam (Caribbean or epic)

Recently I built my dream gaming pc, and while I love it to death, I probably only use it two hours a week due to work and responsibilities.

I debloated windows on install and get strong performance from my pov, but turned off updates, because I knew Microsoft would eventually fuck something up. Well, they did with their SSD killer update, luckily I dodged it because I had the foresight. However, this has made me consider switching to Linux. I’m looking for suggestions for distros to try if I’m solely using this pc to game, and only playing indies or single player graphical intensive titles.

Specs:

CPU: 9800x3D GPU: 9070xt RAM: 32gb DDR5 6000 MB: STRIX X870E-E

I have a SteamOS machine running ChimeraOS in my living room, and it works great. I spent 4 hours last weekend trying to launch Immortals Fenyx Rising only to realize I had to manually set the MTU size so that Ubisoft Connect could sync my save file.

I tried doing the same last night on my other linux-based computed (running PopOS) and, well... nothing. I tried different MTU values, tried enabling MTU discoverability, nothing works. The game launches from Steam, Ubisoft Connect pops up and tries to synchronize save files, only to timeout after a few minutes.

Gaming on Linux has been a godsent, and 9 times out of 10, if not more, it works brilliantly thanks to Proton and/or SteamOS. But man, Ubisoft Connect is just a nightmare to deal with.

Has anyone else made Ubisoft Connect work w/ Linux? Is there something I should check or tweak? I'd love a few pointers.

I'm a windows user that currently switching to Linux

I'm probably will use Mint, and just going around asking question and checking if things that I like work there.

But I can't find any normal responses about 2 things:

1. Does Star Rail work on Linux on its own, or I need that "honkers railway launcher" that listed on lustis site. And if it needed, it's safe to play through it? My account can get banned or not?
2. Is there any normal instruction to transferring game saves from the "AppData" folders to linux?

What are your specs if so? I have an i5 10400 + 9070 XT and thinking of going 4K but I'm afraid I'd need to turn down graphics settings in AAA games

I know benchmarks exist but I want to hear some real world experiences

Here's the latest data from Valve on what the most played games on Steam Deck were for August 2025, and perhaps unsurprisingly Hollow Knight is top.

Giving Blackjack and Roulette a little Balatro treatment? Perhaps just a little, with it putting a literal spin on the classics here.

While it has a rather boring name, Sword Hero looks anything but boring in the new trailer and the combat demo you can try out right now.
