It's the season of lawsuit it seems, as Valve Software are the target of yet another and it's another one that's targeting loot boxes in their popular games.

Configuring all the NVIDIA specific gaming technologies in Proton definitely has a steep learning curve, so as part of the ongoing work for driver 595 there's now a guide for DLSS / Reflex / Smooth Motion section in the NVIDIA Driver Installation Guide for Linux.

This guide has been written hand to hand with the DXVK-NVAPI folks, which have provided information on titles supporting the various technologies and helped out proof reading everything. It has also been reviewed internally in NVIDIA by the team responsible for the DLSS/NGX online updates.

The guide is not meant to replace completely the massive DXVK-NVAPI wiki, but should you give you the most useful information for getting started; along with some practical examples.

https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/tesla/driver-installation-guide/gaming.html

While writing the guide, I've come up with a few "helpers" that I use with Steam: https://github.com/scaronni/steam-linux-helpers

These came up as I wanted to configure stuff in an easy way, for all games, without installing any extra stuff for Proton and Linux native games: tools for configuring prefixes and proton, custom Proton versions, DLSS updaters that break the file integrity verification of Steam, etc.

Having a billion tools installed is definitely not my cup of tea, so someone might find them useful.

I bought a 9800X3D CPU, and it came with a 'promo' code for the game Crimson Desert. So I go to https://www.amdrewards.com/claim-reward and enter the key code and what is my surprise when, instead of giving me a steam key or similar, they tell me to download a 'pvt.sh' file. You can see the readable part of the code here: https://pastebin.com/2Ht3w7zv

Below that it's 30.000 lines of embedded binary code, asking for sudo permissions where they don't even tell you what they are using sudo permissions for.

I think it's concerning If AMD start using potential harmful software like this.

I just switched over to kubuntu. I had a lot of mods for cyberpunk, so I just copied all the folders from windows and replaced the ones in my fresh cyberpunk install on Linux with those.

But now some mods load and others don’t, like my character has modded hair and face, but their clothes are gone and I don’t see the mod settings button.

Am I screwed? Should I just redo all my mods?

Any help appreciated.

I’m on kubuntu 25.10

Ryzen 7 5800x3d and a 9070xt

Yeah so i tried to play risk of rain 2 on heroic launcher and at the first loading screen it always show this problem that steam integration isn´t working.
I use cachy os and the copy of risk of rain it's a pirated one, and i had tried everything already and nothing seems to fix the issue.

Can anyone help me find the save folder? No matter where I go (f.e. what pcgamingwiki says) I can't seem to find the necessary "remote" folder its pointing at. I played the game enough to create a save file aswell.

Thanks in advance.

I wanna play a game that has a chinese version which has considerably more content than its global version (where winds meet). It would be nice to have like a program that could translate subtitles atleast or something that could translate my screen somehow i could use my second monitor if needed.

Does anyone have any experience with this or any programs i could try?

Hello Everyone, i'm having a little bit of a problem with Oblivion remastered and i would greatly appreciate your help.

Please excuse any eventual typo, English is not my main language.

Rundown of the problem: when i try to boot Oblivion Remastered the game loads to a black screen, just to then crash after circa 2-3 seconds and then opening the UE5 crash report module.

The magnificence of the lack of informations provided here is astounding.

This is the first time that i have started this game since changing from Windows to Linux and it's also the first game to be this stubborn on not wanting to launch, i'm borderline tempted to install W10 on a separate SSD just to play this.

other games in my library provided their own problems but tipically the available workarounds would work really well, i have also to add that those games were mostly RPGMAKER and WOLFRPG games with little to nothing in common with TESIV Oblivion Remastered, apart from that a solid 90% of the games i have seem to run well enough and with barely the problems they would have on Win.

I'm leaving all the details i could fetch down here, if i have missed something please let me know and i will try to provide it asap.

thanks to all the folks that will try to lend a hand

Recent Linux convert and I really don't want to go back to Windows!

I'm getting random complete screen freezes. Screen stops updating entirely, can't even switch to TTY, but audio continues playing and keyboard shortcuts still work fine (like play pause music). No pattern, it can happen when I'm browsing the web, when I'm coding, on desktop, seems unrelated to level of system stress. Have gamed fine. Can happen within the first hour, or after 8 hours.

Requires hard reboot to recover. Card worked flawlessly on Windows for nearly a year.

I have no idea what is wrong, I just want a stable desktop :(

System (running backports):

• Debian Trixie
• Kernel 6.18.9+deb13-amd64
• Mesa 25.2.6 (from trixie-backports)
• KDE Plasma Wayland, KWin OpenGL compositing
• firmware-amd-graphics 20251111-1~bpo13+1
• 9070XT Nitro+ fwiw. Not overclocking or anything. Everything is default on BIOS.

Things I've tried that didn't help:

• Updated Mesa from 25.0.7 to 25.2.6 via backports
• Set POWERDEVIL_NO_DDCUTIL=1
• KWin is already using OpenGL (not Vulkan)
• journalctl -b -1 shows zero amdgpu/GPU errors - kernel doesn't seem to know anything went wrong
• dmesg grep for amdgpu/flip_done/fault/timeout returns nothing
• GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet amdgpu.runpm=0 amdgpu.aspm=0 and amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xfffd3fff"
• Even disabled Brave's hardware acceleration to see if it would help. It didn't.

Basically the title. There used to be an option for DLSS and now it is gone. Everything is up to date. I'm not sure when it disappeared since I hadn't played the game in a while before it got the 0.3 update. Otherwise I wouldn't mind but the game definitely needs it (at least when playing in 4K).

I'm using Nobara and my GPU is NVidia 4090. I've tried the Proton-GE latest and 10.0-3 (iirc) but no success. Before this I think I've played with what it had by default. I migrated less than two months ago from Windows and it's been more than decade since I actively used Linux (and even then it was Ubuntu) so I try to avoid any unnecessary tinkering (and also because I'm old).

Not sure where to look at this point or is there anything I can even do? Tried googling but couldn't find anything.

Valve released the latest stable update for SteamOS, along with a new big stable Steam Client update for all platforms. Here's all that's new.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

Idk if we can pin this post or add it to an updated FAQ, but the amount of “i hear nvidia doesnt work as well on linux“ posts is getting out of control.

To answer the most commonly asked question in this subreddit:

Yes, in games that use DX12, all Nvidia cards take a performance hit. That hit is not always the same amount but it can be anywhere from 15% - 40% lower FPS. This is a well documented issue that is being fixed.

Just because someone else will say “well I havent noticed that on my rig with an Nvidia card” does not mean its not there or that there are exceptions to that performance hit. Some people just arent sensitive to that kind of thing.

While some distros are advertised as better for gaming, there are not massive performance gains using any of them. We are talking a few fps more or less between them all. There is no magical setting in cachyos that fixes all Nvidia problems.

Nvidia have a beta driver out claiming to begin the process of fixing this dx12 stuff, but it also requires the vulkan development team to work with Nvidia to fix it. There is no beta driver that just solves the problem on its own. Hopefully it only takes a few months to fix, but it could take the whole year.

You do not need to ask how to install beta drivers or drivers the day of release on non-arch distros. Your other distros like fedora are going to update your drivers with new packages once they are deemed stable. If you truly need drivers day-of, you will need an Arch based distro. Theres nothing wrong with RPMFusion for not giving you driver updates the moment they release.

AMD cards are more stable for gaming on linux for 2 reasons; the first is that AMD drivers are open source and readily integrated into tools like vulkan, and the other is that if you are playing games that came out on consoles, those machines are all using AMD CPU/GPU and that makes the porting process easier.

Finally, i know that a lot of gamers use Nvidia, its what i use and the steam hardware survey shows most of us use Nvidia. I dont want to discourage you from using linux, but i do feel like theres a lot of good knowledge in this sub about almost any problem you could have and its worth searching those out before making your own post.
