TLoU Part 2 GE-Proton 10-3 doesn't detect NVIDIA GPU

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22. Mai 2025 - 11:07

I'm trying to play The Last of Us Part 2 on Nobara Linux running KDE Plasma 6.3.4.
My NVIDIA driver version: 575.51.02
Now I've enabled HDR in the KDE display settings and it's working fine.
I've also setup TLoU Part 2 to use GE-Proton 10-3 and configured the following launcher options:

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 gamemoderun %command%

NOTE: Users running NVIDIA drivers or MESA prior to 25.1 still require the "VK_hdr_layers" package to be installed and setting "ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1" to avoid getting washed out colors when enabling HDR.

The only problem I have when I run the game, a pop-up box will tell me that I don't have a graphics card installed ?
When pressing OK, the game will continue to work, with HDR working properly, however features such as DLSS are not available.
Is there a way to enable these in GE-Proton 10-3?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22. Mai 2025 - 07:33

So basically, I'm just trying records games but when i get into the match(when the resources acc load) it goes from 60 to 20fps

OBS log: https://obsproject.com/logs/h4hD2BLp5jgZuPfv

System specs:

For reference I was using steel hunters for reference. i tried with a much weaker game(master duel) and it was a proper 60 fps, not sure if my pc is just trash(which it should not) or i messed something up

Using steam and proton, game itself runs fine at 60fps just recording is slowww

thx 4 help

UPDATE 3: Reviving my dead uncle's old game.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22. Mai 2025 - 07:02

Bad News. Apparently my dead uncle coded more than just video games. I was working with u/Nrezinorn to try to troublehsoot the segfaults, and on my end the troubleshooting tools were working properly for the most part.

I sent him the outputs I got. Well, screen caps of them since they were in a VM, and it seems to him that the game was coded with malware included. I mean, it doesn't make sense to me, since I was allowed to play this game as a kid, unattended at his machines. But at the same time, there was a ton I didnt know about him.

I'll append the images I sent just before Nrezinorn had alarm bells ringing. I have no clue if the malware was added before or after the upload, and I have no clue what it does. THAT SAID, I want to keep this piece of my family history alive no matter what, seeing as I have a promise to keep.

If anybody has an idea as to where I should look for the malicious code, how I should start my search, or wants to look themselves, let me know.

The Repo was reported as malicious to both Github and Sourceforge, and I am going to also message some security researchers, including my local defcon group to see if they would be interested in analyzing it themselves.

If the repo is taken down, I will re-publish it once the malicious code has been removed.

And for those of you who want to download this to check for malware yourself, it's still on github at time of writing.

Help: Transferring The Last of Us Part II Game Saves from Wine to Proton on Steam Deck

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22. Mai 2025 - 06:50

Hi all, I’m struggling to transfer my game save files for The Last of Us Part II from a Wine prefix to a Proton prefix on my Steam Deck. I installed the game via Heroic and completed the game using Wine but the controls stopped working after a few weeks( I think I might have updated my steamOS or/and wine has been deprecated to support proton GE now). Switching to Proton-GE fixes the controller issue, but I lose my saves and game wants me to start from 0. I need help transferring them without starting over.

What non gaming distro do you game on?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22. Mai 2025 - 06:03

We all see a bunch of recommended distro's to use for gaming (Bazzite, Nobara etc). But I was wondering what non recommended distro people game on. Personally I use RHEL 9 for my daily driver at the moment and game just fine on it with NVIDIA driver 575.51.03.

Dota 2

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22. Mai 2025 - 05:39

So I'm trying to get Dota 2 to work on linux. I'm on arch and I'm using Wayland. It seems that the Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper) is pretty bad. No matter what launch options I set the game has major framerate issues, with both spikes and just permanent drops. I can run the game in proton, and it seems as though (on the main menu at least) the framerate issues are resolved, however running it on proton seems to upset VAC and won't even let me into bot games.

Has anyone else solved this issue? Is there any way I can get around the VAC verification so that I can just run it in Proton? Thanks.

Is there a way to force steam to use wine instead of proton?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22. Mai 2025 - 04:52

I am trying to launch stronghold 2 (from steam) on my hyprland arch setup. The game does not work with proton (I tried several versions, there's a different error on each version). However when running the game's exe file with wine, everything just works. I would like for the game to be launchable via steam. Is there anyway to force steam to use wine instead of proton?

On version 9.0-4 I get the error E5020: The 'fx_2_0' target profile is only compatible with the 'fx' target type.

Cyberpunk 2077 - FSR 3 & Frame Gen

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22. Mai 2025 - 04:32

Yo! I just bought the game yesterday and it works surprisingly well on my RX 470 with FSR 2.1 (40-60 fps). The thing is: I saw someone testing the official FSR 3 with Frame Gen on the same card, most likely on Windows, and it was working but when I try to set my game to FSR 3 with any other option than Auto Mode and Frame Gen OFF, the game freezes and I have to restore the settings file/delete it for the default preset.

Do those (the official implementations of FSR 3 and frame gen) work at all under Linux? Am I missing something crucial? I can play without them no problem but I would like to get some insight anyway. Thanks in advance!

Having severe issues with VRChat

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22. Mai 2025 - 04:28

I just switched from the GTX1660 to a RX 7800XT, thinking that I would be able to play finally my VR games, ran Blade and Sorcery just fine, but now, in VR chat I have severe issues, the game runs like at 40 FPS stuttering like hell, I had the game run badly before but no matter what I do, the framerate just dies, and I can't get it to run well, also almost seems like the game have this forced VSync state no matter what I change.

Anyone has run into similar issues and found any fixes?
