one simple step with common anticheats (easy anti cheat, battleye) to enable support for gnu+linux

Some companies go out of their way to deny linux users (ubisoft with rainbow six siege, EA with their kernel level anticheat)

Valorant wont run on windows 11 without a tpm 2.0 module, not every pc has one, or can support a tpm 2.0 module. Run windows 10, trying to support linux would be too much hastle for them.

Are you kidding me?

Wish valve had the backbone to say "if your game doesnt work on our handheld console (the steam deck), we wont put it on the store page".

I know that is a bad decision financial wise, but the only games that dont seem to work are anticheat related, or could be solved very simply.

Thank you to the devs that make the games work, day one or not long after, or are striving to implement support.

To the devs that do not support players that either cannot afford a valid windows license, cannot afford hardware upgrades, or do not want to run spyware, I will no longer support you, or buy content from you.

Hey all,

I have a linux partition on one drive and a windows partition on the other. I have a steam game installed on the Linux partition and want to copy the game to the Windows partition without redownloading.

How would I go about doing that? Thank you and sorry for the newbie question.

First of all, I'm aware Wayland support in Wine is still experimental.

I'm running Proton TKG 9.5 which includes Wayland support by editing the prefix registry.

Games do run under native Wayland just fine but I've noticed that only my keyboard and mouse are detected, my DualSense is not.

This is odd because a friend of mine doesn't have this issue despite us using the same distro and Wine version (only difference is that they use an Xbox controller)

Any wine Wayland testers also have this issue? I'll rather run native Wayland until Nvidia supports explicit sync on May 15th.

once it reaches the first screen after the logos, the game just quits back to desktop (I never got to see the main menu)

I've tried:

• using Fedora 39 and Ubuntu 22.04
• I've tried Proton 8.05, 9-beta and experimental versions
• I've seen some tips from protondb but those did not make any difference.

Thank you.

Hello. I have far cry 5 on steam and when I used to play it on windows, it always requires ubisoft connect in order to launch it. Here on linux, I installed ubisoft connect through lutris, but I have no idea where to go from here.

I tried starting it from steam, but it goes from running back to stopped after a few seconds.
I did set everything to run with Proton Experimental (tried that and GE-9.2 or whatever version the latest is for proton that we have on steam) but it never launches (both main game and arcade editor)

I tried to see my library in lutris but it never showed me any games. Also tried adding FC5 manually but like with any other game I tried it never worked for me. That's why I always used Bottles to run my games (though locally installed files and not through steam)

Any help would be appreciated!
I run Nobara 39 KDE Plasma (Gnome DE)

I know that my post will be downvoted to oblivion cause of my "whining", but I just need some place to whine I guess. And I also tired to see how many people still pushing almost propaganda level of bullshit, about how good and awesome amd gpu's this days.

So, my main complain right now, is that I can't play games that I wanna play: Diablo 4 and Enshrouded both crashing whole driver after couple of seconds of gameplay. That somehow RT related, as I can assume from bug reports there and there. I wouldn't bother to post this, if it's was "once in a while" issue or GPU was brand new or if bug was brand new. No to all of that. Bug exists for a two months already. And no, I don't wanna play on minimal settings on my 7900xtx. It's fucking stupid.

On top of that, there still old issues like no HDMI 2.1 (what is only supported connection type on my LG C2 and "HDMI 2.1 to display port" adapter ain't chip nor easy to find) or sometimes doesn't working power\clocks control. Also, your can't use so praised gamescope, cause time to time it will also trigger this weird AMDGPU crash.

So yea, not the best experience on my most top of the line amd gpu (NITRO+ RX 7900 XTX Vapor-X). I literally bought e-waste for 1200 euro. I can't play new games on this card and soon it will become obsolete, cause new generation will arrive, bringing better performance. It will not become useless, but just think for a moment: you paying not for investment, you paying to play right now. No one buys top of the line video card to maybe play in the next year. So, I could just bought nvidia card for same price, but didn't do that exactly because of rumors of "best possible gpu driver on linux". Where is it exactly?
Also, I knew someone will go in comments and go like "but nvidia!..": nvidia at least would play my games. I don't care if some odd feature like "solo-gpu VFIO passtrhought" may not work, I literally need gpu to do basic stuff - playing games. Who cares if driver are proprietary, if it focking works?

And that not all, currently I see a wave of post on "amd help" subreddit, due to driver issues on windows. So, compared to nvidia, I can't even switch to windows to fix some of my issues, due to fact, that I will simply get new one.

So, my "hot take" is: amd gpus shouldn't be praised as "savior of linux desktop". Why only nvidia gets all the hate?

Hi all,

So, Nexus Mods is currently working on...I guess we could call it a successor to Vortex Mod Manager? It didn't really catch my attention until I learned one thing: It has a native Linux version.

Personally, this is huge news for me, as I have never been able to get Mod Organizer 2 nor Vortex working properly under Linux no matter what method I've tried (and believe me, I've tried most, maybe even all the methods. All methods had at least one fatal flaw. I can't really remember the specific flaws, but I know they had them.)

I had first heard about the Nexus Mods App a few months back, but back then, it was pre-0.1 and had no downloadable compiled version, so you'd have to compile it from source yourself. (Which I assume means it was not ready for general usage) But now, it is 0.4 at the time of writing, and has downloadable complied versions for both Windows and Linux.

My main question is this: is it ready for practical use? Like, I'm a pretty casual mod user. Just need it to have the abilities to install mods, be able to update them, uninstall mods, and that's pretty much it I think.

The games I'd be using it with in the immediate future are Skyrim Special Edition Fallout New Vegas

And I know a question that could easily be asked of me is "Why don't you test it out yourself, you lazy jerk?" Which is fair enough, but...I spent so much time trying to get Vortex/MO2 to work, that I just have...well, I'm not going to say trauma, because that's REALLY overly dramatic, but...I don't know how to explain it. But I know that if I try this new software and it doesn't work, I am going to spend WAY too much of my time trying to get it to work.Bottom line is...I just can't go through that again, right now.

So it is my hope that somebody can take the software for a test, or they've already been using it and can let me know. I've tried looking up info about it, but for some reason, there is VERY little info on it. Hell, the only two places I really found any info on it are on the software's GitHub page, and the Nexus page announcing it, so there's really no word on if it is actually ready for general usage or not.

Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Pretty much title. I recently built a new gaming desktop and overall I'm super impressed how well things are going. One thing I can't seem to beat no matter the leveling of fiddling though is HDR.

​

On a stock 6.7 Kernel I'm able to play games with gamescope in HDR at commit (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/commit/b59695665abdc4512b50ca9130822171eb0e4163) although the steam overlay is broken and doesn't work and the colors are washed out.

​

I recently upgraded my Kernel to 6.8 (linux-cachyos) for NixOS which has AMD_PRIVATE_COLOR enabled so I was hopping this would fix my color issues with HDR but now when I enable the vk_hdr_layer (https://github.com/Zamundaaa/VK_hdr_layer) with gamescope it crashes on the above commit and (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/commit/26db73933aca7bec9fdc0342b3420c7fb0ed7b04)

​

So if you're happy playing games on Plasma 6 with HDR I'd like to hear your software versions!

What kernel/mesa/gamescope are you currently using. Bonus points if you have the AMD_PRIVATE_COLOR working or even the old valve patches.

So I've been using Endeavor OS for around a month, and just recently I want to give pure Arch a shot. I consider myself fairly technical and I really enjoyed the vanilla Arch install process. Something I did notice is for example, on Endeavor OS, Persona 3 reload runs at 120fps locked with all settings maxed except for RT and resolution scale set for 125%. On the other hand, I get around 80-110 fps on vanilla Arch with the same settings. The main difference I know between the two distros is that I used the standard kernal with Endeavor and I'm using the Zen kernal with Arch, can't figure out the discrepancy though.

Two years ago, I made my own PC and decided to use Linux Mint as the operating system. It had been going great until recently. While playing No Man's Sky, through Proton, the computer would randomly crash completely. I'm talking screen goes black, and all the fans start spinning at Max speed. The computer wouldn't respond to anything, and I had to hold the power button to turn it off. When I restarted the computer, it didn't give me any error message, so I just ignored it and went back to playing. However, after four crashes spread over 3 weeks, the computer simply stopped turning on. Pressing the power button did nothing until I removed the Nvidia GPU, at which point it would then start with a black screen. After dropping it off at the repair shop, the technician told me that the GPU was effectively bricked, and he attributed it to being a water-cooled GPU.

What I want to know is, is this really an issue with water-cooled GPUs? The technician was very headstrong about it being a motherboard issue when I dropped it off, and refused to listen to even a brief description of what the issue was; his attitude made it so I find myself having trouble trusting his disdain for water-cooled GPUs.

If it is an issue with water-cooled GPUs, is it worth cashing in on the warranty to get it replaced, or would that just be pushing the problem down the road for another crash in the future?

Finally, are there any simple steps I can take to prevent this in the future? All the crashes happened whilst running Linux Mint, playing specifically No Man's Sky through Proton. Is it just bad luck that they were all the same game, or is it more a consequence of NMS being the only graphically intensive game that I have played while the GPU was already having issues that I was unaware of? Is that even possible?

​

Pre-Posting Edit: While tracking down the links below, I realized that the GPU isn't even water-cooled, at least I'm pretty sure. He might have been referring to the AIO cooler attached to the CPU? But that's not really relevant to a GPU issue, is it?

CPU: Intel CPU Core i7-12700F / 12/20 / 2.1GHz / 6xxChipset / BX8071512700F

GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Gaming OC 12G Graphics Card, 3X WINDFORCE Fans, 12GB 384-Bit GDDR6X, GV-N308TGAMING OC-12GD Video Card

Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WiFi D4 LGA1700(Intel 12th Gen) ATX gaming motherboard(PCIe 5.0, DDR4,4xM.2/NVMe SSD,14+2 power stages,WiFi 6,2.5Gb LAN,front USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C,Thunderbolt 4,ARGB headers)

Hi, I currently have a problem when playing Fallout 4 in Kubuntu. When playing, it feels very laggy, like I'm playing at 30 fps below but the fps in mangohud are actually 60. It only happens on the laptop display, but when I play on an external monitor, it seems fine. But there is another problem with playing on an external monitor: the resolution dropdown on the Fallout launcher doesn't have any value. So I have to change the resolution in the config file. Does anyone know how i can fix this? I tried disabling the compositor before playing, but it didn't change anything. I haven't tried it on other games, but it's probably the same. Debian KDE doesn't have this problem just after I switch to Kubuntu. I also tried switching from Wayland to X11 and changing drivers, but it was still the same.

My laptop is Thinkbook 14 g4+ IAP
GPU : Intel XE / RTX 2050
Driver : Nvidia 545 Proprietory

I tried downloading reshade linux version using the console, but after it installed it doesn’t show up in fallout. However, if I download the installer and do it that way it works but says “Error loading some effects”, with a list of effects saying “failed to compile” and any presets don’t work. I don’t really know how to fix this. New Vegas launches through mod organiser 2 as I also have mods installed so does that have something to do with the linux reshade not working?

I recently bought an Amazon Luna controller for use over Bluetooth (I'm not going to buy into the cloud gaming ecosystem, just wanted a nice Bluetooth controller and this seemed to fit the bill). I've noticed that the haptics only function if I'm connected over USB (although the rest of the controller works fine over Bluetooth).

I pulled out my old Windows laptop and installed the official Luna controller drivers on it for testing. With that configuration, the Bluetooth haptics worked fine, so this seems to be a driver issue. Poking around in the kernel sources shows me that the Luna controller seems to be using an Xbox 360-compatible driver, although that might only be for USB connections.

Does anybody have any advice on how I can fix this? I'm happy to compile a custom kernel if I need to. I'm running openSUSE Tumbleweed if you need any distro info.
