What to do if game keeps freezing up?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. August 2025 - 19:39

I'm playing Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous via GOG/Heroic Games Launcher and the game generally works exactly the same as it did on Windows.

However, it randomly freezes with no particular pattern and I have to kill & restart the program. The music keeps playing and I can move the mouse cursor, but the graphics are frozen and it ignores any keypresses or mouse clicks.

Is this a common issue for games? I do have the "wrong" hardware (Intel/Nvidia rather than AMD). Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Green screen while gaming

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. August 2025 - 17:53

Ubuntu 24.04.3 CPU Ryzen 9 5900X RAM 64GB GPU RC 7600 XT I get a lot of green screams and craches when i am playing RDR2 or Warhammer 3. I don't have any problems with other games or just general use. I don't think the hardware is the problem I don't have lag or similar and I don't have high temperature. Any ideas

Still No Fix? Gears of War Reloaded / Legion Go S Steam OS?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. August 2025 - 16:42

Many of us playing on x86 devices with Steam OS loaded (other gaming Linux distro) can not launch the game at all

I made a Reddit post, discussions on Steam and even emailed Linux news outlets to no prevail

When Indiana Jones came out, we got a proton hotfix. Right now, we got nothing

It seems because it’s working on the Steam Deck, we’re out in the cold

I verified files, reinstalled, used different proton versions, launched in offline mode, tried launching from desktop mode and used during command options

We need a fix Linux, Valve or Microsoft. We need one now please! Some of us want this to work lol

Launching vesktop with a proxy

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. August 2025 - 16:39

Discord calls are blocked where i live, meaning i need a proxy or vpn to call people. I've tried editing my vesktop.desktop file to launch vesktop with a proxy, but ive gotten super inconsistent results with this, as i can call for an hour or two, and then i get severe ping issues and are unable to join any voice chat after a while.

Here's my vesktop.desktop file:

[Desktop Entry] Name=Vesktop Exec=env http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8123 https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8123 /usr/bin/Vesktop --proxy-server="<http://127.0.0.1:8123>" Terminal=false Type=Application Icon=vesktop StartupWMClass=vesktop GenericName=Internet Messenger Categories=Network; Keywords=discord;vencord;electron;chat; Comment=Vesktop is a custom Discord App aiming to give you better performance and improve linux support. MimeType=x-scheme-handler/discord

Any help would be greatly appreciated, id like to use discord properly again.

Also, i have tried the same setup with the regular discord app, and i get the same results.

Looking for a g600 alternative that works with libratbag and piper

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. August 2025 - 16:06

The title mostly covers the question. I currently have a g600 (RIP peak mmo mouse), but I have a laptop that I would love to also love to pair with an mmo mouse, wireless preferred. Piper works great with all logitech stuff for mapping the keys, which is paramount for me. I don't care at all about RGB functionality. Any suggestions?

Oversaturated bloom in a Unity game (Kingdom Two Crowns)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. August 2025 - 14:50

An issue with otherwise fully functional game. For some reason, the bloom effect of the sky in Kingdom is in overdrive. Attached two pictures for illustrative purposes, Win11/Linux Mint, both are at about the same time of day in-game, but, can't really tell in the Linux Mint screenshot. Which, if you've played this game is somewhat hampering, trying to figure out what time of day it is, do you have time to do stuff before nightfall? It also makes other objects hard to see, similarly to the columns in the background, but more important, gameplay wise. Other lighting effects signifying stats and such in-game. The game is based on Unity, but I could find only development related issues while googling, and no-one else seems to have reported this about their gaming experience. Running on bog standard AMD CPU, Nvidia 3060 PC, nothing special. I've been running Linux for whopping two weeks now, so apologies if this is just a general thing I've not set in Mint, like, RGB/YUV, or something like that.

Kitty's Last Adventure - A cute survivor like that can follow you everywhere on the Steamdeck! (Playable in different ways - even if some ways are weird and you shouldn't)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. August 2025 - 14:29

I'm a solo dev who worked for 2 years on Kitty's Last Adventure and after one year in Early Access and more than 100 reviews, my game is officially out in Full Release today!

You can play the game using either :

  • the right stick
  • the left stick
  • the crosspad
  • the left trackpad (dunno why you would do that)
  • the right trackpad (works but don't do that, please)
  • Using any other controller and do the same!

It’s been a wild ride. I started this project thinking it would be a “small” game, and it turned into 2 years of updates, balancing, bug fixing, and adding way more content than I originally planned. Seeing people play it, leave feedback, and come back after each patch is honestly what kept me going.

Performance was one of my biggest worries, especially in the late game when you’ve got a screen full of weapons firing and enemies swarming. I’m happy to say it runs smoothly, tested by me, tested by Steam, and most importantly, tested by a ton of players.

I don't have any linux build but from friends (and the game working on the steamdeck), it works prefectly on Proton!

Kitty's Last Adventure 3.99$/€ on Steam

Football Manager games past 2018 not running on Linux Mint for some users [Solved]

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. August 2025 - 14:22

Hey,

I'm just posting a solution I came across for an annoying issue so it can be indexed for the future so other users don't have to suffer for three hours.

Some users can not get Football Manager to boot on Linux via Steam Proton for versions 2019-2024 (these versions were not made to be linux native unlike prior ones).

This turns out to be due to having it installed on an external drive. This causes steam not to find the .exe with Proton.

The problem can be easily fixed by simply installing Football Manager on your primary drive and running it via proton like normal.
