XStreamingDesktop controller issue

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Juni 2025 - 19:36

Hello,

I just received my controller (8BitDo Ultimate 2C), but I can’t get the app to recognize it as a standard controller.
However, my web browser (Firefox) does detect it as a standard controller.
Do anyone have a solution?
OS : Fedora 41

Bottles apps won’t launch in Gaming Mode / Big Picture on Steam Deck (works in Desktop Mode)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Juni 2025 - 17:43

Trying to get a game (Tale of Two Wastelands via MO2) running on my Steam Deck using Bottles. Everything works perfectly in Desktop Mode — I can launch MO2, run the game through a shortcut, all mods work, etc.

I used Bottles' “Add to Steam” feature to add the executable to my library. In Desktop Mode, launching it from Steam also works fine.

But in Gaming Mode or Big Picture, it simply does nothing. I hit Play, Steam shows “running” for a second, then stops. No crash, no error — it just exits immediately.

I’ve tried:

  • Launch options like moshortcut://TTW
  • Flatpak CLI with bottles-cli
  • Forcing Proton (including Proton Experimental)
  • Wine vs Soda inside Bottles
  • Custom .desktop launchers

Nothing changes the result. It seems like Bottles just doesn’t work at all in Gaming Mode, no matter how it’s launched.

The reason I want this working is simple: I want to use Steam Input, controller layouts, and have it integrated in Gaming Mode like any other game. Having to run everything from Desktop Mode is a terrible experience on the Deck.

Has anyone gotten any Bottles app to launch from Gaming Mode successfully? Or is this just broken by design?

Any workaround or method appreciated.

Enabled Compatibility for All Other Games - Previously Installed Games are Now Reinstalling!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Juni 2025 - 17:32

Help! I may not have read closely and now I'm reinstalling hundreds of GB worth of games...

I saw there was a setting to enable Proton for all other games, so I set that up and restarted steam. I then noticed Steam was downloading several games that I've already had previously installed. I assume it is due to a different Proton version than what it was installed with. Is there any way to back out of this and preserve my previous saves - or am I already too far gone, and have to reinstall now. What's the likelihood of lost save data?

Please, someone help me install dark souls 3!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Juni 2025 - 15:53

I downloaded Dark Souls 3 on the Hydra launcher from Online Fix, but Steam won't let me play it, it always says "no licenses", and using Lutris the game doesn't open.

My PC runs Dark Souls 3, and I even have the saves I made when I played on Windows, but I have no idea what to do to get the game to open.

I've tried using Proton and Wine in Lutris, but nothing works.

7900xtx Issues

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Juni 2025 - 15:13

Posting this here and also in the endeavorOS thread.

Long story short i upgraded from a 6950xt to a 7900xtx (because i apparently dont care about money) lol
but actually because i got a great deal on the 7900xtx and its a good jump for me in 4k.

Anyway - the 6950xt had absolutely no issues with linux at all, everything ran absolutely fantastic and really it all just "worked". Now with the 7900xtx the games run even better, no lag at all, nothing - until about 10-20 mins into the game it will just freeze, music or sound will continue. Then it may recover and if it does it will do it again in the next 5 minutes and wont recover - or it just wont ever recover.

Why is this happening? ive tried reinstalling mesa drivers, and reseating the card and checking power cables and even switching it into "silent BIOS' instead of "OC BIOS" just to see??

I dont feel like its the physical card itself, as there is no artifacting and the card doesn't ramp up or get noisy, its not running to hot. Nothing, just the graphics drivers fail.

NOTE: the system does not ever fully crash, just the graphics drivers while playing a game, then 90% of the time the game will just close and the rest of the system is totally fine. Which leads me to believe that maybe just the 7900xtx drivers are not quite as good as the 6950xt drivers yet, as obviously its newer and hasn't had as much time to get there? Idk but please help! thank you!

Rest of the system specs

How to get teamspeak with TFAR to work for Arma3?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. Juni 2025 - 14:07

Hey, does anyone here know any reliable guide to get TFAR (task force arrowhead radio) to work on linux? Getting Teamspeak is no problem but tfar doesn't want to play ball. I've tried to follow two different guides and they say different things.. One said to basically just enable it through steam, the other to install TS for windows and doing Lots of tricks to get it to work.

I play through steam/proton only, no proton/winetricks. Arma works flawless

I use pop os but I have no problem switching distro if that would possibly help
