How to move a game from Faugus Launcher to play on steam?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. April 2026 - 21:33

Hi, I don't really know what I'm doing, but I've spent way too many hours today trying to get Battlefront II to work on my Linux Mint laptop. I bought it in a charity shop and got it on my ea account. I couldn't get the ea app to work through anything other than Faugus Launcher (tried Lutris and Steam), and eventually got the game running through that. The problem is that the game and the ea app run incredibly slowly, so I wanted to play the game through steam since it is now downloaded. When I put the path to the .exe file into steam, it will just briefly load but not open when I press play, doesn't even give me an error message. I'm not sure how to do this, if I just need to move the files out of the faugus folder and somewhere else, or if it's not possible to run it. I'd appreciate any help you can give me!

I have Linux Mint Cinnamon, and I'm not really sure what other specs might be relevant but I'm happy to provide anything!

TLOU2 20fps at very low & very high

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. April 2026 - 21:21

For some reason, I'm getting the same 20 fps with any settings.
GPU & CPU utilization stays low, with absolutely flat frametime.
Any ideas?

Other games work great out of the box. RDR2, Jedi Survivor, TLOU1...

CS2 doesn't work for me on CachyOS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. April 2026 - 21:19

Well, CS 2 isn't working for me on CachyOS for some reason. The logs say there's an error in pipes.cpp (900), I don't know what that is. I used Proton 9.0, Experimental, and the native version of Runtime Sniper. Has anyone else encountered the same problem?

OS: CachyOS (latest) Kernel: 6.19.10-1-cachyos WM: Hyprland (Wayland) GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Driver: nvidia 595.58

Snapdragon-gsr should be integrated in newer Proton and gaming-wine releases

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. April 2026 - 20:59

The people who used lossless scaling in windows may know it already, it's a temporal upscaler, similar to FSR 1, it doesn't need to be game integrated and it works everywhere no matter your hardware and gpu even on older games, it's also open source : https://github.com/SnapdragonGameStudios/snapdragon-gsr

The great thing about it is the amazing performances, i couldn't try it in linux but on windows it's faster then FSR, and the sharpening is better IMO, it works super well on low Vram laptops, and you lose barely no framerate.

I really hope that some dev may have the ability to integrate it in the next proton ge or gaming wine version, it would be an amazing addition to our actual tools, and having an alternative to FSR1 is a good thing for all of us.

I can't play Wuthering Waves since 3.2 update

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. April 2026 - 20:44

The game does not let me play since the 3.2 update. When I launch the game through Steam it looks like it's starting normally and then after a bit in the updating screen it shows the error on the photo.

I am running Nobara Linux 43, Ihave these launch options in Steam : SteamOS=1 STEAMDECK=1 %command%

I have tried Proton-GE Latest, Proton-GE 10-32, Proton-CachyOS Latest and Proton Experimental (Proton-GE Latest, Proton-GE 10-32 and Proton-CachyOS Latest were installed with ProtonPlus)

The game is installed on my secondary SSD, and other games on this SSD work perfectly fine.

I have tried what people say on ProtonDB, but i still have this issue.

I hope someone is able to help me, because i really don't want to go back to Windows.

ratbagctl warbling-mara dpi get → always returns 1200dpi ratbagctl warbling-mara resolution active get → always returns 1

Trouble with FFXIV

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. April 2026 - 19:19

So I made the jump to Linux about 2 months ago and I've been playing FFXIV without any issues since I initially got it set up but about two weeks ago I started having some issues after running updates. The game started crashing while I was in the middle of raid night so even though I'm pretty anti AI I fed the logs into Gemini to try and get a quick fix so that I wouldn't hold up my team and it told me to turn off DXVK Async because the new Nvidia driver now does whatever it was doing internally? This did stop the crashing issue, but I've been getting really bad stuttering ever since.

The other night we were playing and my screen would freeze completely for 5-6 seconds at a time. At first I thought it was lag, but my partner was playing Warframe downstairs with no issues at all, and other tests on my connection seemed to come up completely fine. So today I tried to do some digging around to find out what the Async thing even is and if turning that off is the culprit but while I'm a little techy, I really don't follow stuff about graphics drivers beyond keeping my system up to date so I don't understand what this Async thing is or what it does really and I'm not able to find anything that would corroborate the reasons Gemini gave me to turn it off. I've also noticed that ever since I ran the updates INACT stopped working, my log files are completely empty and I can't seem to get it working again.

In the two months I've been on Linux I've had a few other apps break after updates and so I've had to use a --rebuild flag a few times to get dependencies to sync back up and I'm wondering if I need to do something like that? But I'm not sure how that works for a game like FFXIV that's running through Wine. Any help fixing these issues would be greatly appreciated.

Zenless Zone Zero stuttering even tho performance (fps) is good

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. April 2026 - 19:02

Tried running it on Bazzite, Nobara and now Cachyos

The game boots normally and it sees to run fine. Until you are freeroaming or in a battle

I get freeze screen for 1-2 seconds

It feels like, when a games shaders are not downloaded all the way and the game stutters.

I play this game for 2 years now on windows on the same hardware and never had issues.

I used the latest Proton layer and even tried launching the game from Steam.

I use a Nvidia 3070 (I know Nvidia is not recommended but I didnt find any issues online regarding my problem)

I don‘t know where to look or what else to try, besides some new/old hardware replacements

My game starts up invisible and I don't know how to fix it, please help

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. April 2026 - 18:03

I'm a newbie to linux and just recently switched to linux mint from windows yesterday. I've managed to get most things working and all stuff regarding browsing and casual usage is all good. It's just that with this game, it somehow just doesn't show up? Like it works, at the very end and the audio and stuff plays. The mouse cursor even changes and I could click around with the UI. Just no window for some reason.

I did manage to find a roundabout fix. I found that I could set it to windowed in the launcher and it would open up fine. Then I could even switch it back to fullscreen when I'm in game and play the game normally.

However, I don't really want to have to set it back to windowed then fullscreen again each time I open up the game. So I was hoping if someone could help me find a way to fix this. I tried installing the steam port of the game but it still had the same issue. I also tried adding it as a non-steam game and still no.

I'm really stumped on this one. If someone can provide a fix, I would really appreciate it! I'm currently enjoying linux so far and I'm quite liking my customizations.

Audio issues when running games on bottles

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. April 2026 - 16:56

Running some games on bottles using my headset (either Analog Surround Output or Pro Audio) and external speakers the game plays this annoying buzzing sound usually on menus and cutscenes. If I start the game using laptop's build-in speaker and then switch to headset it fixes the problem most of the time.

Games that I had problem with are The godfather: The Game, Alpha Protocol, Red Faction Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered and Call of Duty : Advanced warfare (during heavy-action gameplay).

Pulsar X3 Mini not detected in BBB Web Driver on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. April 2026 - 16:36

I’m trying to get the Pulsar BBB web driver (https://bbb.pulsar.gg/) working on Linux but I’m stuck at device detection.

Distro: CachyOS

Browser: Brave (WebHID supported)

Mouse: Pulsar X3 Mini (1K dongle)

lsusb shows: 3710:5402 Pulsar 1K Dongle

What I’ve done:

Added udev rules:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTRS{idVendor}=="3710", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5402", MODE:="0660", GROUP="input", TAG+="uaccess" SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="3710", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5402", MODE:="0660", GROUP="input", TAG+="uaccess"

Reloaded rules + replugged device

Verified device shows up in dmesg as multiple hidraw interfaces (hidraw0–3)

Confirmed user is in input group

Switched from Firefox to Brave (so WebHID should work)

Current issue: BBB site loads fine, “Connect Device” button is clickable but it shows "No compatible devices found"

Right now it looks like Linux exposes the device correctly, but BBB doesn’t recognize it via WebHID. I want to confirm if this is a limitation of the web app or if I’m missing something
