What should I do? My game CS2 is pixelated and the FPS is very low.

I don't know what to do, I've tried everything.

This is what the game looks like, I have it in pixels with low fps, my settings are low

Steam VR no sound routing

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. September 2025 - 14:15

Im kinda breaking my head. im using Ubuntu 24.04(XORG) and steam with the debian packagemanager to avoid sandboxing headaches. but i cant get the Sound to work on VR games. with qpwgraph, i can get it routed for some games but its horrible quality. the selected output doesnt matter, as in aux speakers or bluetooth headphones dont change it. normal desktop sounds. like videos or flatscreen games can be played on the vr. just all games managed thru steam vr dont get sound or if manually rerouted with horrible analog noise

does anyone have an idea how to get the sound to connect correctly?

Hardware recommendations for Gaming on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. September 2025 - 13:23

Hello community

I want to build my gaming PC with Linux, but I would appreciate it if you could share the hardware you currently have and what has worked for you, so I can get a guide on what I should buy.

One thing I'm clear about is that the motherboard and processor must be AMD, for compatibility with Linux.

I'd also like, if possible, if the motherboard has a Thunderbolt C port, but if the recommended one doesn't, there's no problem. It also wants to have built-in Wi-Fi, although I know there can be issues with that, so if it doesn't, there's no problem.

Just so you know, my budget is $800, but any amount beyond that is welcome.

I'd really appreciate any information you could share.

Hunt Showdown Performance vs Windows

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. September 2025 - 13:17

Anyone else noticing a pretty big difference in the performance vs running Windows? I only ask because the videos I've seen, admittedly a little old, show performance to be pretty much equal on the platforms.

Running a 13600k, 32GB RAM, and 9070XT with all the settings maxed out and when running around the Shooting Range I'm noticing:

  • Around 80FPS on CachyOS with Mesa 25.3 and PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 FSR4_WATERMARK=1 game-performance %command launch options
  • Around 110FPS on Windows 11 with latest drivers.

Tried different versions of Proton and disabling FSR4 but looks to have little effect.

Steam lag - either BPM or overlay

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. September 2025 - 12:39

I installed Linux on my gaming PC a little while ago but I'm just now trying to do some actual couch gaming on it. I'm having issues trying to get both Big Picture Mode and the in-game overlay to work. If I have Settings > Interface > Enable GPU-accelerated rendering in web views ON then BPM mode works great but the in-game overlay runs so slow it's unusable. If I turn that setting OFF then BPM runs like crap (around 5fps?) but the in game overlay is fine. I haven't worked out any way to get them both playing well together. Any tips?

I'm running Arch with the latest drivers, an RTX 4080, on Gnome with Wayland.

How to make sure I'm using my NVIDIA GPU on a Laptop?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. September 2025 - 12:23

So I have a laptop with a Ryzen 7 7435hs, NVIDIA 4060, and 16gb of RAM.

Playing Overwatch, a game that's supposed to be well optimized, I had several performance issues, being forced to lower graphics to low.

Searching online it seems the game is somewhat unstable in certain contexts, but I just want to confirm it is, indeed, using my 4060.

I have:
- looked on the top right for power options, but nothing there specific about GPU

- opened Nvidia X Server Settings, but can't find any specific information there.

What am I missing?
Thanks!

EDIT: [SOLVED] - I don't have an iGPU, so it must be my NVIDIA one.
