I'm new here

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. April 2026 - 01:47

Hi, I am considering using RPCS3. I want to know if I should use the arm64 download or the x64 dowload options for my UBUNTU 24.04.4 LTS.
I also want to know how useful it might be because I already have a playstation 3.
Thank you in advance

Crash at launch on Linux after latest ~200MB update (black screen → crash) – AMD GPU / Pop!_OS 24

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. April 2026 - 01:46

After the latest ~200MB update, the game is no longer launching properly for me.

It just shows a black loading screen for a few seconds and then crashes back to desktop. No error message.

System:

  • OS: Pop!_OS 24.04
  • GPU: AMD
  • Proton version: (tried Experimental + a couple others, same issue)

This was working fine before the update, so something definitely broke.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Any fixes or workarounds?

managed to fix it:

add this to the launch options:

LD_PRELOAD="" PROTON_DISABLE_CRASH_REPORTER=1 %command%

and use proton Hotfix solved by gpt.

hope this helps someone else

Arc raiders

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. April 2026 - 01:28

Hi, I’ve just installed Linux Garuda today.

I mainly play Arc Raiders with FSR2, FluidMotionFrames 2.1 and Antilag – I’ve been doing so on Windows up until now.

Now I’ve got a problem: in Arc Raiders, I can only enable FSR, which doesn’t seem to make any difference to me at native resolution (WQHD, 180Hz).

I know Proton exists; I’ve run it under Proton Experimental with the bleeding-edge build, but I know absolutely nothing about that sort of thing or about Linux.

Is there any way to enable FSR2 and Fluid Motion? The Adrenalin software isn’t available for my distro, is it?

If there was already a thread on this, I was probably too daft to find it – please forgive me :)

Wuthering waves not Linux friendly?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. April 2026 - 00:55

Before I give all of my context on this, Id like to note my dad is the computer science engineer and he switched me to Linux (something about Windows not being good anymore, im really unsure why. I just listened!) So thats why I may seem extra clueless on working with computers.

I currently have the heroic games launcher installed which ive been using for genshin impact (looked up a flatpak install guide and followed that. Dunno what im doing)

So genshin worked, I then wanted to get honkai star rail. I had steam directly downloaded, when I went to try and play i got an error message regarding my anti cheat software not being compatible and that I could possibly be banned. Not great -- never figured that one out so I left it and used my phone.

Now today. I want to play WUWA, genshin is greedy but I need to itch my gambling needs. I have been at this damn laptop for hours. I even asked chatgpt (i know thats not ideal but every article I read kept confusing me)

Whats happening now :

When I first tried to register my account with wuwa and got directed to brave in order to use Google log in, brave was blocking the pop up. I switched to firefox, my google account is now connected.

Great! Okay but then wuwa requires age verification. Thats fine, except every time (i switched wifi, reset my laptop, tried a hotspot) I go to age verify, it says Internet connection error. GREAT.

So finally I caved and asked chatgpt im sorry guys im a psych/pre law major. Im so confused right now.

I did a few things from there, i made sure my games compatibility in proton was the latest 9.x, I restarted and hit the same error. I checked my network DNS and that was also fine, no blockage there. Theres no VPN, brave is no longer my default browser as well.

Allegedly Linux and wuwa may just not be friendly but I swear its doable. Im just not the brightest bulb in the box so if anyone could help me! Thank you guys :D

Counter strike keyboard delay, mouse problem and sound issues

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. April 2026 - 00:18

2 of the problems i have for a long time when playing cs2:

  • Keyboard delay: sometimes i get typing delay bug and the problem doesnt go away until i restart laptop. When typing something on in game chat or console, my typings are lagging behind. Like, i write a statement in 5sec but it appear in chat slowly, about every second 1 letter appears.
  • Sound issue: sometimes in game start or in lobby sound suddenly goes. I need to switch sound output from system settings to speakers, and switch back to headphone again to make sound work again .

And my new problem, mouse issue:

  • For my first match, mouse doesnt work. i mean it works but it barely moves so i need to shutdown game and re start game to make it work normally again.

Arch linux + gnome + wayland. my launch options: "-vulkan -sdlaudiodriver pipewire"

Any help for solution?

When will NVIDIA's 595 drivers be available for Fedora/RPMFusion?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. April 2026 - 23:00

I'm looking to get back into Linux but I know it takes Fedora forever to push major driver updates. Are the only drivers available still the 580 version?

Foldable Touchscreen Laptop for Retro Gaming?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. April 2026 - 22:45

Hi guys,

I have a 13" foldable laptop sitting in the corner and I thought that I could use it for more than just occasional typing in bed..

It's a bit older now but fully functional and I use it mainly when going on vacation a few times a year & watching movies in bed.

Specs:

Device Info CPU i7-8550U GPU Intel UHD 620 RAM 16GB DDR4 Disk 1TB SSD

I know it's not a beefy laptop but I'd like to give it a new second life so to speak.

I thought about Bazzite but that's mainly for handhelds no? Maybe Fedora with GNOME?

Thanks for any guidance. I am mostly using Windows as main OS.

Crimson Desert is broken on Linux with 1.04.01 with Proton Experimental

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. April 2026 - 22:39

Hello everyone, I was previously playing fine with just some light bleed in a few areas. The newest update broke it. You can post an issue report here:

https://support.pearlabyss.com/en-US/Research?_id=55ff17f9dc073f1dd05543a072baa06c37c1541dae124e8aa74dd1ace5ccdaf0

I think it is important to submit an issue so they know they have Linux users. Please only submit once and please include the github link below.

Thx to u/BuffaloGlum331 for pointing it out in another post.

You can also post your logs here which is tracking the broken state:

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/9595

And yes, I am well aware there are other builds like Proton-GE. Other people have said that is also broken. I think it is important that the Crimson Desert devs work with Valve to fix this.

question about the denuvo bypass for curiosity, not piracy.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. April 2026 - 21:29

im assuming the answer is a hard no but im genuinely just curious if that denuvo hypervisor bypass thing works on linux, mostly because i find it ironic that linux gets a bad rap from some for being pirates and hackers that wanna steal and not pay for anything, so its funny to me that it likely doesnt work on linux.. but i donno where else to ask to confirm

Vulkan can't find any GPUs after some time booted in, please help

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. April 2026 - 21:09

This has been bugging me out for months.

After some time booted in, all Vulkan devices suddenly disappear and so I can't open any Vulkan games (including `vkcube`, see pic 2) and therefore I'm forced to reboot my computer, losing and having to redo all my ongoing work just to be able to play.

GPU1: AMD Radeon 680M
GPU2: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050

GPU2 driver: `nvidia-open-dkms` 595.58.03-2 from the Arch repos
Distro: Arch Linux

Any help is much appreciated in order to finally solve this issue.

Looking for a customizable Game Launcher

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. April 2026 - 20:50

I am looking for a game launcher that is customizable like playnite, something where I can add themes yk. Yes, lutris is cool and all but it's not customizable and the worst thing is there is no game controller support on UI. Steam is good, really really good but I don't think it is really customizable for non-steam games..
