So, I've had two 4K displays on my desktop for some time and the one thing that drives me crazy if I enabled Gnome's fractional scaling, to say 125% to make it bearable on the desktop it then runs games in a crazy native resolution e.g. 6144 x 3456 - which is 4K divided by the scale (1.25) and then times by 2 - not sure why!

125% scaling and weird resolutions

It seems to be down to XWayland, as when I run using Proton-GE and force Wayland using PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 the issue isn't present.

Which got me looking at the scaling options for XWayland. Turns out if I set xwayland-scaling-factor to the same scale (1.25) now my games only go up to my native resolution.

125% scaling but no weird resolutions

Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone would be interested in starting a German Linux gaming Discord with me. I’d love to build a community where we can share games, tips, and just have fun. If you’re down, let me know, and we can get it rolling!

My specs:
GPU - 9060 xt 16gb
CPU - ryzen 9 5900xt
RAM - 48gb - 2 16gb + 2 8gb - running at 2666mhz because that's the max my processor takes at 4 sticks of ram, with just 32gb it gets up to 3200mhz
Got plenty of storage too and plenty to spare (4.2tb)
Fedora KDE 43 on dual boot with W11, tried with mint too, my previous distro of choice. I didn't adapt well to CachyOS so didn't even try it with these games.

I noticed that in two games specifically, my fps just absolutely FAINTS compared to W11:
Cities Skylines 1
Path of Titans

In Path of Titans i managed to narrow down the main culprits to be shadows and animation quality in the game settings, which makes the game considerably look worse. Fps and stability still considerably lower than windows 11, but lowering these two settings helped.
In Cities Skylines 1 i didn't really mess with the settings, but i've begun to notice severe frame drops on my 8k people city, which should not happen. In the past i got a fully maxed out vanilla city, including squares, every single inch of it built upon, on a significantly worse configuration (i5 9600kf - 32gb of ram at 2666mhz- 1050 ti) but on windows 10 at the time.

My guess would be the proton version i'm using or just some other thing, any guesses or help?

The issue is, anytime you go into LFC range, it will immediately start juddering and flickering (extremely heavy below 30 fps). It will not properly double/triple the refreshrate, instead wildly fluctuating between random numbers.

I know it's driver related and nvidia is supposedly investigating it, but I don't have big hopes as it seems they've also broken it on windows now too for several driver versions.
Although, maybe that just means they are working on it/updating it, hence the new bugs.

I tried only wayland/KDE on 580, but once I found out it's driver related I just went back to windows and didn't think of digging deeper to see if maybe it works in a different configuration.

Anyone have any experience with this? Maybe there are patches out there that I am unable to find (doesn't have to be kde/wayland, anything will do).

Hey there!

I would love to play Psychonauts with Proton but whenever I try with

- Proton 9.0-4

- Xbox One Gamepad or Keyboard

the game completely freaks out.

- The key map is completely broken, I have to try random keys to get the game started

- The character keeps running, no input possible

Do you have any tips how to fix it?

Hello im trying to swtich to linux at least for emulators but i have one problem. When i tried to find any option for virtual display setup for streaming becouse i have ultrawide monitor and i cant setup any other resolution for the stream on linux. I tried buying dummy plug but that stopped working after two hours and switched to locked 800x600 resolution so it was dead end. Is there any solution or way how to setup virtual display for streaming like the apollo is doing. I was using cachyOS.
