Hello,

I am on Arch using Pipewire and EasyEffects to apply some noise and echo cancellation to my microphone. EasyEffects then creates a virtual audio input called "EasyEffects Source" which is an available input option in every other app: Discord, Steam settings, Dota 2, etc.

However, it is not an option in CS2. I have also set this virtual input as my system default, but when I select "Default" as the input device in CS2, there is no input audio.

My launch options are:

ratbagctl screaming-chipmunk profile active set 1; gamemoderun %command% -novid -nojoy -sdlaudiodriver pipewire

The first bit of that just changes mouse profiles, then it's the usual gamemoderun argument with some parameters set, notably I have already tried forcing pipewire as the SDL_AUDIO_DRIVER environment variable which I saw recommended in some other threads.

Does anyone have further information or recommendations on how else to solve this?

This is a crappy old laptop with integrated graphics and everything just works, I've not played world in conflict in something like 10 years.

Empire earth, red faction, deus ex, star wars empire at war.

It all works flawlessly, tell a lie actually I did have to use a command in steam for star wars but it was the first thing on proton db, nothing more than I would've done on windows.

What is the Steam launch options syntax to run Jedi Fallen Order with gamemoderun and mangohud, while still bypassing the EA launcher? So far, I have this:

cmd=(%command%); cmd[-1]="$STEAM_COMPAT_INSTALL_PATH/SwGame/Binaries/Win64/SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe"; "${cmd[@]}"

And it works to bypass the EA launcher. But I don't know how to incorporate gamemoderun and mangohud with this.

I was able to launch RDR2 through the Rockstar Games Launcher only in Steam.

I used this guide: https://pimylifeup.com/steam-deck-rockstar-games-launcher/

All other solutions like Bottles did not work for me, after pressing the "Play RDR2" button in the Rockstar Games Launcher nothing happened, although I did a clean installation of the launcher like on Windows PC or in my Steam from the guide.

Isn't there a universal solution that will pick up all my Steam prefixes (including custom ones), all my installed Steam Protons, and allow me to launch any .exe through itself? For example, I double-click in the file manager, and it launches .exe through my environment (Steam prefix)?

The idea is to use a single Steam environment (proton prefix eg 2802383175) for everything, like in the case of creating a bottle in Bottles.

(Especially so that the running game does not glow green in Steam because it's "Add a Non-Steam Game" method)

Now I use the command, this is the solution:

STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/home/jwadow/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2802383175/" STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH="/home/jwadow/.local/share/Steam" "/home/jwadow/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton Hotfix/proton" run "/home/jwadow/Links/Red Dead Redemption 2/RDR2.exe"

This enables the Rockstar Games Launcher and immediately automatically launches RDR2 through it, as it happens on Windows.

I can also enter any path to the exe after "run", not just RDR2.exe and use any programs with Windows. Bottles does roughly this, but it doesn't launch RDR2. In Steam it works perfectly and as it should.

But I care about convenience and reproducibility for Linux newbies who don't know about environment variables and stuff.

Steam network connection is stuck at 0

Hi everyone,

I've been using steam for over a year on my Arch system with no issues whatsoever. However, the past month have been a pain in the ass for me, I don't know when exactly it started but I suspect after I did a -Syu command.

First it started by having speeds that were painfully slow but I found a workaround by clearing cache in steam settings. Then the issue evolved, the speeds would start great and all of a sudden it'll drop to 0, a mix of clearing cache and rebooting my system fixed it randomly for me. Now it refuses to even start downloading, the network speeds are stuck at 0 and after awhile a connection timeout message would appear on the games downloading/updating. Now I'm back to the point were it start downloading then gradually go back to 0.

My system speeds are great on speedtest-cli and everywhere but steam, I disabled HTTP2 as per the wiki that fixed it for two days but now I'm stuck again I can't play games that require update or even games that require shader pre-compilation. I'm really frustrated as I tried everything and can't find any guides for a similar issue.

Note: Browsing the store in steam is working and I have great speeds, the issue only applies to downloading/updating games.

Hey, maybe I can ask here how I could solve this problem. I have seen the pictures that my textures just disappear for no reason since I have Monster Hunter Wilds. I have tried both the latest GPU driver version and older versions. I have also tried Proton Experimental, Proton Hotfix and Proton 9.0.4, but the problem always appears after 3-20 minutes ingame. I have also tried many different ingame settings, but the problem persists. Maybe you have some more tips. :)

Hey there.

I'm guessing most of you are familiar with the game-streaming solution sunshine and it's corresponding client moonlight. AFAIK it originated as an open-source reverse engineering project of NVIDIA Gamestream, however i think they have moved past that.

I've been using it since a few years for PC -> TV game streaming, but there are a few problem that I've encountered on the way. I'm interested in your experiences, maybe we could use this thread as a collection of sorts for any woes regarding sunshine game streaming.

My Setup:

PC:
- Hyprland on ArchLinux, 6.13.6-2-cachyos
- Radeon 6700XT, latest mesa
- WQHD display, 144hz
- Sunshine 2025.122.141614
- WIFI only, however using AX standard and 5Ghz. TV is in the same room as PC and router, Network Speed and Latency should not be an issue. I've tested it using a cable and there seems to be no difference.

TV:
- Nvidia Shield 2017
- FullHD 60hz
- Moonlight as Client

The problems that I'm facing are mostly stutter/lag related.

- I enabled AMD lowlatency encoding using the env var AMD_DEBUG=lowlatencyenc. This seems to help a lot.

- I've also noticed that there are stuttering problems if the FPS on the two devices don't match exactly. E.g. if I'm getting 59FPS on my PC, there will be stutters on my 60Hz TV: The other direction also applies: If i don't cap the frames to EXACTLY the TVs refresh rate, the picture is not as smooth as it should be.

- No AV1 (should be available on newer GPUs) or NVENC support. So H265/HVEC and H264 are the only options. It seems that H265 gives better results.

So what's your experience?

I'm also wondering if you've found any solutions to the following:
- Automatically set Displays Resolution to the Clients Resolution and revert on disconnect.
- Automatically cap FPS (steam big-picture gamescope session?)
- Headless Display as a Source

I have a framework 16 laptop with the discrete GPU add-in card. For some reason, I cannot get final fantasy 7 rebirth to recognize the discrete GPU.

Even if I put 'dri_prime=1' in the steam launch options, the game still says that I'm using the integrated 780m graphics on the CPU rather than the discrete GPU.

Does anyone know how to make sure that Final Fantasy VII rebirth uses the discrete GPU in Linux?

Title. In cyberpunk, enabling rt shadows dropped my 6600xt to around mid to high 30s, meanwhile my 3070 can hardly hit 20 with the same settings on the same rig. I have nvidia-open installed for gpu drivers and the card seems to function well otherwise and outperforms the amd one without RT. Any ideas?

Hey there, the only game giving me trouble is Outer Wilds. The game does have a Vsync option, but enabling it introduces a lot of mouse-delay for some reason. It's the only game where this happens. No option to limit fps in game.

I really don't need over 700 fps in outer wilds and on top of that i get crazy screen tearing with vsync disabled.

Tried using gamescope in steam with limited success; works for most games, but setting '--nested-refresh' or '--refresh-rate' to 60 only seems to affect the main menu but not the rest of the game.

setting the '--expose-wayland' flag gives a error message on start and the game freezes afterwards.

Are there any other options? I'm using the most recent version of KDE plasma on arch linux if that might be important

Edit:

It seems all of the methods suggested so far only have an effect up to a specific point in the menu (when the campfire lights). Then my frames shoot up to the thousands.

Trying to run Uncharted Legacy of Thieves collection on my system and while it runs fine, keyboard and mouse prompts do not show when I use keyboard inputs, mouse inputs do not register and the mouse is invisible in the menus all I see are the xbox/deck glyphs. I tried looking up this issue on this sub, on pc gaming wiki, and other subs too. But I did not find anything, I tried using proton ge as well. This is my system, while I do plan on playing with controller, I want to use mouse based gyro input cause that is the way to play games with controller or on deck imo. system:

I'm pretty new to linux, just installed CachyOS a few weeks ago.

When playing Hades 2 I've had this issue on two occasions now where the whole system completely crashes (black screen, no audio, not responsive). I still hear the PC fans going and I have to hold the power button to turn it off. It's a pretty rare issue, I can play for days and have no problem whatsoever and then it suddenly crashes one time.

First time, the save let me return to this hub area and I could redo the part where it crashes. I tried this a few times and it would always crash in the same room on that specific run. (It's a roguelite so I've done this room before on a different run and it never crashed before). Then I set up my SysRq key on my keyboard so I could try safely shutting it down at least, but after I set that up, it didn't crash in the same location. The only difference is that I used my keyboard instead of using a gamepad like before. Very confusing.

The second time it crashed during a boss fight and it didn't allow me to return to that run when I restarted, so I couldn't test if the gamepad thing was actually the issue. (I tried shutting everything down safely with the SysRq shortcut that I set up before, but that didn't work.)

I tried looking through journalctl and I don't see anything wrong. As I have very little info on what's actually happening, I'm not entirely sure it's caused by Hades 2, but I've never had this issue with another game.

Anyone here had this problem or know what it could be? Any help is appreciated!

Hello, everyone. I'm planning my first PC, and I'd like to have a full list of the parts as soon as possible, but I'm just learning the very basics, and I'd rather avoid errors, and unnecessary spending.

My goals are:

• Install Linux instead of Windows.
• Having room for upgrades in the future, without excessive spending.
• Play pretty much anything at 1080p and 60 FPS (anything beyond that would be good, but with this I'd be absolutely pleased).
• Mainly play with a controller.

This is my current idea for a build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/h7KqWc

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
