Sniper Elite 4 is unplayable due to white textures/lighting

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. August 2025 - 12:20

Hi I couldn't launch the game in vulkan so I used PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1

it launches alright https://imgur.com/XhhWj3X

and splashes alright https://imgur.com/m41uOos

then we see the first the visual glitch in the main menu https://imgur.com/MrWNq5w

and it gets worse in game https://imgur.com/Qy4wc3c

I've seen 2 others on protondb with the same issue and they both have an amd gpu

I've tried different proton versions (ge, experimental, 9) and even different amd drivers (radeon, pro) with and without the above steam launch command (without it the game wouldn't launch, and with it I'd get the white textures)

any help is appreciated, thanks!

Screen Going Black in Bright Memory

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. August 2025 - 11:59

Hey guys. So, similar to the issue I was having in Borderlands 3, Bright Memory is also cutting out at very inopportune times and making the game pretty much unplayable. This time, however, adding PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command% to launch options does not solve the problem and in fact may even make it worse. Again, I've tried different screen resolutions, different versions of Proton. I'm actually stuck using GE-Proton9-27 due to some graphical issues I have with newer versions. Coloured test patterns where there should be graphics. The game gives you different versions of DirectX to launch with and I've tried them all to no avail.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Again, I'm running CachyOS KDE.

Getting "disk write error" on shared drive between Linux and Windows

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. August 2025 - 11:16

Hey everyone, I'm new to Linux and have an issue I'm hoping you can help me with. I'm running Bazzite from an external M.2 SSD in an enclosure. I've set up a shared partition formatted as exFAT so I can access my games from both Windows and Linux. This is super convenient for games that I prefer to play on Windows, like GTA V, and others that run well on Linux.

However, I've run into a consistent problem: whenever I'm on Linux, I get "disk write errors" on Steam, especially when a game needs an update. Sometimes, even if there's no update, I'll click "Play," Steam will say the game is running, but it never launches. This only happens on Linux, not on Windows.

I've already tried a few things, but nothing seems to stick. I suspect it might be a permissions issue with how Linux handles the exFAT partition. I've heard that using NTFS can sometimes be a workaround, but I'm hesitant to reformat my drive without understanding the root cause.

Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Become parasite. Become everyone. Meet THE HELMINTHS.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. August 2025 - 09:58

In The Helminths, you can possess any NPC. Each one comes with unique abilities you’ll need to survive: sneak past hazards, solve puzzles, fight - or just throw bodies across the level :)

The Helminths is a pixel-art sci-fi platformer inspired by Oddworld series, Playdead games, Celeste, Alien movies and many more. Someone once described it as “Half-Life demake - Headcrab Simulator”, which honestly feels pretty accurate and funny. also my very first game - a small solo project I’ve been building on my own for the past two years. And yes - from day one the game will run on Linux (including my beloved Steam Deck!).

You can wishlist The Helminths here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3283690/THE_HELMINTHS/

Adding Custom 4:3 Border Art to Zelda3/The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past PC decompilation. Is it possible?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. August 2025 - 09:22

I wanted to know if it was possible to alter the files of the game in any way to allow me to fill the black space in 4:3 with maybe some custom artwork. It's totally fine if I can't by the way. I'll just suck it up.

I want a opinions for switching from RTX 3080 - 10 gb to RX 9070 XT

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. August 2025 - 09:03

As a long time Windows user, I've decided to switch to Linux full time after trying it out for more than 4 months. My only deal breaker is the horrendous DX12 performance tax on Nvidia cards, so I'm thinking of getting my first ever AMD card, but do you people think it's worth it? Is 16GB vram enough? Should I just dual boot Windows for DX12 games intsead? I'm on Fedora and planning to play Split Fiction and CP77 at 4k 60fps. I'm just afraid that the performance will still be poor compared to just using the 3080 on Windows.

Thank you.

So games install fine and fail for the first attempt. Then relaunch after this pop up and it goes away and works.

It would be nice to get rid of as I do have 300 free games xD
I have two hdds and a 120gb ssd with bazitte linux. It was a test at first with my gtx 1070 to see if even worked tbh at first.

I'm semi new to modern Linux tbh my last linux class was Fedora 12 in 2010 so yeah my Linux knowledge is way minimal from then.

did add the permissions using flatseal but doesn't seem to work ?
