PoP SoP Lutris suddenly thinks my joystick is always pushed forward

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Feb 2026 - 6:14pm

Hello,

I have installed the GoG version of Prince of Persia Sands of Time with Lutris on Debian 13. I play with an 8bitdo Ultimate 2 controller. It worked normally and I could make it ok to 65 percents of the game. But suddenly now the game thinks the left stick is always pushed forward after the first activation of the controller. I launch the game, nothing happens, I push a button on the controller, the game thinks the left stick is pushed and never released. If I go into the mapping screen of the game, the game will immediately assigns the left joystick forward to any button I click on because, hey, the left joystick is pushed forward after all.

It seems to happen within the game. If I go into wine control, everything seems to work fine. Same in Duckstation (my only other game).

This morning I installed the GoG version of Beyond Good and Evil because I want it to be my next game. I fiddled with the Appimage of AntiMicroX, because BGE doesn't support controllers. Maybe this is related, but I'm not sure - I just launched AntiMicroX and didn't do anything in it. I tried deleting everything related to AntiMicroX but no luck.

Any idea on how I can use my controller again to beat PoP ?

Would like to switch to Linux from windows 11 for gaming, light streaming and Internet browsing.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Feb 2026 - 5:25pm

I'm brand new to all things Linux. My specs are i9 12900kf, 5070ti, 64 gb 3600 ddr4, 850 PSU. Not sure where to start but my PC keeps crashing with every new update to windows.so I figured if I can find a good alternative then I'd give it a shot. Any help is welcome, thank you.

Bazzite Crew Motorfest failed with code 1003

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Feb 2026 - 4:50pm

Have been using bazzite for a little over a year now. First time I'm truly frustrated getting something that's verified to launch.
Trying to get Ubisoft Connect version of Crew Motorfest to work and I'm getting this error from the Ubisoft logs. This happens shortly after I press play. I get syncing achievements message then my pc starts reving up and then it opens ubisoft launcher again
I've done all different "working" reddit/protondb comments on different posts and none have helped. From adding Ubisoft connect to steam with/without launch options and adding Motorfest through that way. To even trying somebody's comment that says PortProton worked for them out of the box. Even trying the steam demo did not work got ubisoft connect was not installed error. Steam version is a no either way since I own it in ubisoft connect. I've reinstalled many times in different ways.
Issue is that ubisoft connect doesn't get a connection to verify? Anybody got any ideas how to solve this?

Having issues with RE8. Crashing constantly

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Feb 2026 - 4:40pm

Hey all I'm in desperate need for some help. I've been playing RE8 and have had no issues with it at all, up until now that is. I'm near the end of the game in the factory and every time I specifically kill one of the soldat enemies, my entire game and hyprland crashes and resets. The first time you encounter one that's like semi-scripted, it was fine. Now though any time I kill one at all and only that enemy type, the game crashes. I started running past them and the game kept going just fine. However, now I'm at a point where I don't think I can just run past them.

I've tried seemingly everything to my knowledge. I'm running Omarchy and that is up to date. I've verified integrity in steam multiple times. I've tried custom proton 10-27, 10-30 and 9-04. I had REFramework installed but uninstalled that and still didn't help. I've lowered my graphical settings a ton. I've tried saving the game on different save slots. I've reinstalled the game. I'm not sure what else to do at this point and I'm lost. Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated.

Intel Arc A750 Performance

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Feb 2026 - 4:16pm

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to switch from Windows 11 to CachyOS, but I don't know how the performance will be or if the drivers are supported and compatible. I'm worried there might be a drop in FPS. I play games like Marvel rivals and Minecraft

I'm not planning to buy a new GPU, and I'm not considering it, so please refrain from suggesting that I upgrade.

wayland vs x11 ?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Feb 2026 - 4:12pm

I'm primarily using Wayland because of how smooth it is for general workflow, but when I play certain games, my screen starts flickering, which makes for a really bad experience.

When I switched to X11, gaming worked flawlessly. The problem is that, outside of gaming, the general experience feels stuttery and clunky, mostly due to my dual monitor setup.
(165hz main ; 30hz secondary)

Is there any way to fix this under X11, or do I need to look for another alternative?

System info: Debian 13 stable, GTX 1060 6GB with v550 proprietary drivers, running GNOME.

PS: I head that v555 fix wayland+nvidia issues like these, but can't find a way to install these drivers to be stable with my system

Fallout 4 Modding MO2 download from Nexus not working

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Feb 2026 - 3:55pm

Hey I am trying to mod Fallout 4 but the download from nexus directly to mo2 does not work. I used https://github.com/Furglitch/modorganizer2-linux-installer?tab=readme-ov-file this installer for Mo2 and have all the dependecies. Installation through manual download works like normal and Mo2 is connected to nexus. The Message i get after pressing download says "Failed to start download:".I am using linux mint and are relatively new to linux so it may be a stupidity issue.

I missed GPU-Z on Linux, so I built an open-source alternative: GPU-T. Supports AMD GPUs (for now). Thoughts?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Feb 2026 - 3:42pm

Hi everyone! I'd like to share with you my new Linux-only tool: GPU-T, which mimics the original GPU-Z. It's an early version right now and works only for AMD GPUs, but I plan to add support for NVIDIA GPUs in the future.

If you want to test the tool yourself (early version - work in progress!) - you can grab the source/binary here:

https://github.com/lseurttyuu/GPU-T

The app is written in .NET/Avalonia and shipped as an AppImage (simply download, grant execute permissions, and run).

It should work on most modern Linux distros. Let me know what you think about it - is this something you'd like to see developed further?

CachyOS frequent Stuttering in games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Feb 2026 - 3:18pm

This is a general update to previous post I made about an issue I'm facing due to stuttering when playing games that started happening/became noticeable when i got a new 180Hz 1440p monitor.

I Have tried:

  • LTS Kernel, 6.12.63-2-cachyos-lts up to the most recent lts (partially works, reduces the stuttering substantially but isn't a perfect solution);

  • Installing the gaming packages through the cachyos "hello" screen;

  • Gamescope;

  • Different Schedulers;

  • Different proton/Lutris arguments like LD_PRELOAD="" game-performance %command%

  • Different Displayport cables and outputs;

  • setting the shader cache size to 12GB

Clues and potentially relevant information:

  • I noticed some stuttering happening on the desktop too while dragging windows with and without games running, with different intensities;

-I have installed CachyOS from scratch and the problem persists;

  • Waiting it out in game area sometimes reduces the stuttering a bit but it comes back as soon as I move;

  • Sometimes, I start a game that previoulsy had stuttering issues with the regular kernel and the stuttering is gone/minimal but comes back after a while;

  • The stuttering happens about every ~1-3 seconds when at its worse, and about every ~8 seconds at its best;

-Probably unrelated but the gpu has pretty loud coil whine at high fps/high load;

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800XT

GPU: Radeon RX 9070 XT ASRock Taichi

RAM: 32GB 3600 MT/s

Storage 1TB Samsung NVME SSD

1440p 180Hz monitor Freesync/VRR ON

1080p 75Hz

CachyOS w KDE plasma. Running the latest packages

Kernel: 6.18.2-2.cachyos up to the latest as of today.

If you have any ideas, I would really appreciate any advice on this.
