Updating the 8bitdo Ultimate 2 via Win11 VirtualBox

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. April 2026 - 00:58

Has anyone accomplished this. I think I'm doing this right, but I'm not seeing the update actually happen.

I added the extensions for USB to VB. I disabled AMD_KVM. I held the start button for three seconds to turn the controller off. I then held the two triggers and the start button until it blinked and then plugged it in.

The 8bitdo updater is still telling me to plug it in.

I really don't want to keep a windows machine around for this shit.

Fix Your 7 Days to Die Mods (No More Crashes or Broken Load Orders)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. April 2026 - 00:07

If you’ve been modding 7 Days to Die for a while, you already know how fast things can break, crashes, conflicts, weird errors, etc. Most of the time it’s not even the mods themselves… it’s the load order or hidden conflicts.

I built a simple tool to deal with that.

What it does:

  • Detects mod conflicts automatically
  • Generates a stable load order
  • Scans for missing or broken files
  • Gives you a clear breakdown of what’s wrong

It’s designed to be straightforward, no complicated setup, no guessing.

How it works:

  1. Select your Mods folder
  2. Scan mods
  3. Generate + apply load order
  4. Launch your game

That’s it.

It’s also:

  • Open-source
  • Offline (no internet needed)
  • Doesn’t touch system files

If you’re currently using Vortex and having issues, I’d honestly recommend switching to manual + a tool like this. Way more control, way less headache.

You can grab it here (and check out other mods too):

If you try it and something breaks or you’ve got suggestions, I’m open to feedback — still actively improving it.

Nvidia updated Smooth Motion in driver 595.58.03 - it now detect 2D UI

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. April 2026 - 00:03

This is NOT NEW DRIVER - released for 2 weeks already.

I just updated from beta 595 to this release 595.58.03

I use smooth motion on few games since 580 driver - 3d worked very good but 2d UI always had weird morpthing - just updated and noticed change.

work only on 40-50 series Nvidia rtx

To use:

with gamescope

gamescope --backend sdl -f -W 1920 -H 1080 -r 60 -- env NVPRESENT_ENABLE_SMOOTH_MOTION=1 %command%

NOTE - do not add smooth motion parameter before gamescope - it will interpolated 2d always - it need work on game with 3d depth.

without gamescope

NVPRESENT_ENABLE_SMOOTH_MOTION=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command%

_______________________________

Use this smooth motion - ONLY for games that hard locked on 30-60fps and you want more.

Do not use this on games that already support framegen.

DX12 nvidia vs amd

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. April 2026 - 23:25

I am currently using a nvidia and thought about to switch to an AMD.

Now I read on ProtonDB that even AMD cards have problems with the DX12 versions of Witcher 3.

I thought the AMD drivers work flawlessly due to being open source?

Path tracing doesn't work on pragmata?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. April 2026 - 21:33

Hey everyone, I've been trying to get path tracing to work on pragmata. It crashes instantly. I am on Nvidia and using the latest drivers (595), cachyos and I've tried multiple different proton versions and path tracing causes it to crash instantly. Anyone know of any tricks to get it working? Thanks.

Fluorine manager is awesome to mod FNV

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. April 2026 - 21:30

Use jackify to install ttw and then use fluorine manager to play it. It works really well even when highly modded. If you didn’t wanna switch to Linux because you couldn’t mod fnv then look no further. Warning though, fallout 4 seems to be quite fucked as it launches in a weird windowed mode and can’t seem to be bypassed by any steam launch options or anything.

Also, use jackify to install wabbajack modlists.

And by the way if you don’t have nexus premium.. well let me give you a piece of advice. Wabbajack is quite weird with heavily modded lists. Unlocked frame rates can cause lots of issues. (read the first word of each of the last two sentences and then let Mr google tell you the rest. Yes, it does work with jackify, just look at the guide there.)

Trying to finally ditch microslop

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. April 2026 - 20:13

Hello folks of the Linux community.

I've been contemplating to migrate into Linux since forever, but video games was the only ever reason to stay on Windows. Despite it being absolutely unusable since Windows 8.

My biggest problem is that I've always liked nVidia GPUs (As the 3 ones I've gotten from AMD so far have always been giving me issues).

This brings me to today, only 2 days ago I've finished yet another day at 2AM in absolute white rage about Windows being retarded (this time my bluetooth adapter just decided to stop working because a firmware update for .NET has been downloaded.... NOT INSTALLED.... Downloaded...).

In short - I am asking for help =(
How does one migrate to Linux when I have an nVidia GPU and like games that are (Probably) not very compatible with Linux? =(
I am at my wit's ends, but genuinely Microslop's native support for Direct 3D is just not worth it anymore....

The biggest titles that I am worried about are the Monster Hunter series, as well as ICARUS and STALKER GAMMA.

Most of the rest of the things I am 100% are able to run on Linux, but I am wondering... Should I set up dual boot for the days I feel like playing the things that Linux simply won't handle (For now)?

Skyrim Fast Booter Mod

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. April 2026 - 19:58

I am not the Mod Author. But used it and holy moly let me say my 2261 Mods and 1528 Plugins loads in 225 Seconds to Main menu. It used to be more than 9+ minutes.

My Platform is Linux and using ModOrganizer 2 Linux Port (Fluorine Manager)

Excerpts from Mod Page:

This mod attempts to probe and cache all of your files provided in your game folder. As a result booting up the game should be a lot faster, I've had a few people on linux and windows report a few different timings, but overall its an improvement. There is also some attempted improvements to SPID and KID making their loading properly threaded, this should also reduce boot times to the menu.

UA Voice CC Bridge — Steam Deck plugin that voices subtitles in Ukrainian 🎮🇺🇦

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. April 2026 - 19:39

Hey everyone! I've been working on UA Voice CC Bridge — a Decky Loader plugin that automatically voices subtitles in Ukrainian for Steam Deck.

## What it does:

- 📸 Captures subtitles from your screen (OCR)

- 🔊 Converts them to speech using Piper TTS

- 🇺🇦 3 Ukrainian voices (Mykyta, Lada, Tetiana)

- ⌨️ Typewriter mode — voices subtitles as they appear

- 🎛️ Fully customizable

## How it works:

Screenshot → OCR (Tesseract) → Text-to-Speech (Piper) → Audio

Total latency: ~300ms

## Important:

⚠️ This plugin does NOT translate subtitles. It only voices subtitles that already exist in the game. Games must have Ukrainian subtitles for this to work.

## et it:

🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/Fok86/UA_VoiceCCBridge

📦 Latest release: https://github.com/Fok86/UA_VoiceCCBridge/releases/tag/v1.0.0

Currently requesting official addition to Decky Loader: https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader/issues/899

Let me know what you think! 🚀
Привіт! Зробив плагін для Decky Loader — UA Voice CC Bridge, який автоматично озвучує субтитри українською мовою на Steam Deck.

## Що він робить:

- 📸 Захоплює субтитри з екрана (OCR)

- 🔊 Перетворює їх на мову за допомогою Piper TTS

- 🇺🇦 3 українські голоси (Микита, Лада, Тетяна)

- ⌨️ Режим "Друкарська машинка" — озвучує субтитри по мірі появи

- 🎛️ Повністю налаштовується

## як це працює:

Знімок → OCR (Tesseract) → Синтез мови (Piper) → Звук

Загальна затримка: ~300мс

## Важливо:

⚠️ Плагін НЕ робить переклад субтитрів. Він озвучує тільки ті субтитри що вже є в грі. Гра повинна мати українські субтитри!

## Де взяти:

🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/Fok86/UA_VoiceCCBridge

Just like in real life, this ice fishing game is both relaxing AND exciting! 😊 (Linux compatible)

Created a script to patch Win7 classic games for Wine

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. April 2026 - 19:11

Win7 classic games (from WinAero) come with MUI files which are not supported by Wine for the moment. This makes Wine unable to load resources properly. one workaround is to use Resource Hacker and for each file to add the MUI resource to the exe but this is a long process for each executable.

Resource Hacker comes with a CLI and scripting capabilities so I decided to take the time to retry an idea I had after seeing the post by u/Coolcricri3.

I verified that the GUI method and the scripting method are equivalent by checking that the md5sum hashes are the same.

Since Win7 games are headless and Resource Hacker also has a headless mode, this can be done without needing to use the GUI.

The support can still be buggy for reasons unrelated to the patch and some games may crash more than others.

Patches are applied to the following games:

  • Chess Titans
  • FreeCell
  • Hearts
  • Mahjong
  • Minesweeper
  • PurblePlace
  • Solitaire
  • SpiderSolitaire

Nobara Linux ungodly slow updating, no resolution options beyond 1024x768.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. April 2026 - 19:11

So I just installed Nobara Linux today on my auxiliary gaming PC, trying to escape the Microslop wagon. It would seem that the installation was successful (despite the instructions on Nobara’s website), but when I go to update, not only are the installs taking a lot of time (I am on copper), but it would seem that my GPU isn’t being seen. I can only access one of my two monitors and only get a 1024x768 resolution.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: here are some vital system specs.

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3060 (12GB)

RAM: 32GB DDR4

Motherboard: Gigabyte A520I

Processor: AMD 7600X

Which is newest: Proton experimental or proton 11.0 beta?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. April 2026 - 18:39

I dont really know who makes proton experimental, as afaik you cant get it anywhere apart from steam, so i usually use normal versions on lutris, but i have some games on steam now, and im wondering which i should use. I know it may, and probably will, come with some instability because its still at beta, same with experimental, but i just wanna know if its even worth trying out.
I'm on a normal desktop pc, ryzen 5 5600, 3080, i know i wont benefit from the new arm things.

Can't change resolution of the game or go fullscreen

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. April 2026 - 18:26
  • CPU: Intel i3-370M (1st Gen, 2.40 GHz, 2C/4T)
  • KERNEL: 6.12.74+deb13+1-amd64
  • GPU: Integrated Intel HD Graphics, Intel Mesa Intel HD (ILK)
  • GPU DRIVER: 2.1 Mesa 25.0.7-2
  • RAM: 8GB
  • OS: MX Linux Xfce

After using Windows for about 15 years, I’ve been gradually getting used to Linux over the past week; I’ve managed to successfully run Worms Armageddon and Dangerous Waters with good performance, but when I try to change the resolution in Virtual Pool 4, I just get a black screen.

I’m using the following tools:

Lutris

and

Steam, default or GE-Proton via ProtonUp-Qt, trying different versions of Proton.

The game launches and runs normally, but I can’t change the resolution no matter what I try. The AI suggests running it in virtual desktop mode, but either the AI’s instructions are incorrect or that doesn’t work either. By the way, I suspect that Steam is simply modifying user.reg after I add my settings there. Protontricks won’t open winecfg. I’m stuck.

The .ini file for game settings is not created after launching and exiting the game normally.
