TLDR; Game loads up with 1-10fps and very pixelated. Happens randomly, only fix is restarting and hoping it works normally again.

Specs and info before anything:
AMD 3600 CPU

32GB DDR4

3060ti (Latest 590 drivers)

Zorin OS

These are my launch options: PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 gamemoderun DXVK_HUD=compiler DXVK_STATE_CACHE_PATH=/home/moonlitmuse/.cache/dxvk STAGING_SHARED_MEMORY=1 STAGING_WRITECOPY=1 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE=1 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SIZE=5368709120 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 %command%

Randomly, without any rhyme or reason, Overwatch will launch and be very pixelated with at most 10 fps. No matter how long I wait for shaders to compile, it wont fix the pixelated-ness and extremely low fps. The only way ive been able to fix it is restarting my PC multiple times or verifying the files of the game on steam and just hoping it fixes itself eventually. I unfortunately really dont have any more info about this issue because it's so random. I can do my best to answer any questions though, thank you!

I just made the switch to bazite, mostly everything was great except the launcher for modded servers on dayz.

long story short i tried getting dayz-ctl. i fixed any error that i got in the terminal. BUT when i tried launching it said Getting Dayz server list and then nothing, back to the terminal.

after some more "fixing" the terminal says " ./dayz-ctl/dayz-ctl is not a directory"

and this is where i had to stop cause i had to leave

ALSO... DZSA Launcher obv doesnt work cause its only made for windows... not even using wine

I am looking for some suggestions / help. I know and use Linux daily. Not in-depth but use it enough to be dangerous. I travel for work a lot. So…

Looking for an OS I can put on a laptop to game on using Steam and I play a lot of Minecraft with my kids. I also want a desktop I can play with Linux more and keep learning. I ALSO (and lastly) want to be able to edit my GoPro video too. Not even sure what video editing software is out there for Linux.

I keep hearing Bazzite and / or Pop_OS. Looking for help. Thanks.

Civilization: Call to Power is a curious cultural artifact in a number of ways.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

Got steam tinker and set game launch compatibility as it, game can launch but is prone to frame drops and crashes, the game doesnt have mods when launched through steam and it opens the game via steam tinker. So i tried launching through vortex and it hits a fatal crash upon launch, since the game can run just fine on steam itself surely theres something im missing? Game in question is kingdom hearts 3

I set the tag as proton cause im sure it has something to do with this, ive switched proton up a bunch in the steam tinker area but it still ends up crashing at somepoint

Side because I will also be using it for my work/studies

Mostly need to play low end games, sometimes a bit high end. Minecraft, hytale, some indie games, GTA 5, CS2 etc

Will also do some emulation

Need less hassle, initial setup and tweaks are fine but I don't want to run in too many issues, things like wifi, bluetooth, controller better if work straight out

System specification : ThinkPad T14 Gen 1, Ryzen 5 Pro 4650u, 16gb DDR4 RAM(not dual channel, can't do the upgrade with these price hikes anytime soon) 512gb nvme.

Wanted to try the highly praised BORE scheduler from CachyOs but didn't wanna replace your stock kernel to keep secure boot automatically working? you can use scheduler extensions! (using the Cachy kernel requires signing your own keys for secure boot)

it allows you to patch (on the fly) your current kernel's scheduler with a different one, for example, Fedora ships with an EEVDF scheduler out of the box, but it can easily be replaced with a BORE one.

(this is NOT my project, it's literally just a kernel feature that i don't think gets talked about enough).

https://github.com/sched-ext/scx

It's available for most distros, you install it and then run whatever scheduler you want, for the BORE one:

sudo scx_rusty

Did i notice any raw performance difference outside of particular benchmarks? absolutely not, but system responsiveness under high load is A LOT better, you can be rendering a video un the background and the DE won't stutter for a second, it's a lot better than EEVDF for everyday use, and MUCH better than the CFS that shipped on kernel 6.5 and older.

Of course this behaviours is worse for stuff like DAWs which favor predictable timing, the best part? just crtl+c and then sudo scx_flash or scx_lavd and then i get a soft realtime scheduler! it's amazing. And if everything goes south, it just fallbacks to the stock EEVDF.

The absolutely best best best part? you can just add that to the .desktop entry of programs and have your DAW automatically load a soft-rt scheduler, and your games to load a BORE scheduler, of course this is system wide but still, i just exec a bash script that kills it using trap when the program ends.

Hello guys, I'm hoping to reach out to users playing Arma 3 on Linux, Nobara 43 with KDE specifically, that might be able to help me out here.

I've recently split up my Windows Drive for a Linux Distro, been testing ZorinOS, Pop!OS and settled down on Nobara 43 with KDE Plasma as Desktop Environment, basically for a small project, comparing performances of certain Games between Windows and Nobara.

The first game I've tried was Arma 3, it refused to start at the beginning but that was probably because I tried to run it from an NTFS Drive which belongs to Windows, resolved that by installing it a second time on an Ext4 Partition, along that, i gave the Arma 3 Unix Launcher a go (didn't know that somehow the native Launcher started working as well), booted up the game with ProtonGE (latest version) and it indeed was starting, but the performance was horrible compared to Windows.

Doesn't matter if vanilla without tweaks or with "performance increasing" Mods and tweaks in its Launch Options, the FPS didn't change, they stayed the same between around 25-35 FPS, as well as horrendous Input Lags.

I've been checking the web up and down for every solution, ChatGPT included in hope it might give me a hint, but nothing did help, some said, it was because of Wayland, others said it was because of KDE, and lastly said it was because of the Engine.

A Twitch Viewer then suggested that I should give ProtonDB a visit, which I did but all I could find was other Users giving feedback how the game ran on their Distro.

Tweaks that I tried to run on Arma were: -gamemoderun -gamescope with everything suggested (game didn't want to start with this one, didn't start Steam via the terminal either to check what went wrong) -%command% with every suggested Command

After literally trying everything i could find, i ended up uninstalling Arma but by reaching out on reddit, I don't want to let that project die so easily, I want to find out what is causing the issue here and want to solve it.

In case it's important, here are my Specs: -i7-11700KF -24GB DDR4 RAM on 3600MT/s -NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 as Main GPU -NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super as second GPU

If there's more you need to know, I'll gladly provide you with everything I know. And thanks in advance.

(So far I'm loving what possibilities Nobara and KDE have and if I finally manage to resolve every issue i stumble upon, i might consider it as my daily driver, out of curiosity, i also downloaded Bazzite to run it in a VM on Windows)

I am playing Hifi Rush and there is no vibration.

Things I have tried.

I have tried Proton Cachy, GE Proton and Proton Experimental.

Tried setting Dual Sense to Pro Audio in settings and set the 3rd and 4th audio channel to full.

Tried changing the name of Dual Sense to Wireless Controller. Tryied renaming both Kernel/System level and wireplumber way.

Tried both SDL_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI=0 and PROTON PREFER SDL INPUT=1 launch options separately.

SDL_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI=0 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 DXVK_HDR=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_NVIDIA_NVOPTIX=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr12,dxr PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NGX_UPDATER=1 game-performance dlss-swapper %command%

Above one is the current launch option.

Nothing worked. Whats left? Any solution?

Complete Linux Noob here. Literally put my computer together 3 days ago and loaded Mint onto it.

Trying to install ENB for Skyrim AE. In the Enblocal.ini I set linuxversion=true

When I launch the game, I'm greeted by a black screen with "enb series compiling shaders please wait." And "delete embcache folder or if presets files are being modified or on d3d11.dll update." Before the app closes.

Enbcache folder does not exist.

What am I missing?

Soo I noticed that amdgpu has all the register definitions for the HDMI FRL encoder. I also noticed I could just dump DCN register values on Windows and on Linux and compare them side by side. Many weeks of doing this and banging my head against the wall and I just got this:

I just finished my BC-250 build with custom case running Bazzite. This thing is crazy for what it is.

I made a full start to finish build guide video on it!

I know this is technically self promotion, but I genuinely love the Linux gaming community and believe this will be great asset to the community, even if only for the case files. I think it turned out pretty sick. Downvote me if you hate it though 🤣

I also really want to hear about your guys experience (or lack there of) with the BC-250.

It’s such an interesting piece of tech!

Here’s the build guide if anyone’s interested:

Any advice on why it keeps asking me to choose your name carefully.

I make it match my Microsoft account name and says already exists, I make up a new one for profile (like above) and it gives this error?

And have correctly connected my account already and detected I own Minecraft, if helps.

Hello Guys,

I've just downloaded Indiana Jones and just I have started playing with the game settings, I had the game on 1440p, ultra set, and I had 60 fps, önce I enabled path tracing to even the lowest setting the frames dropped to 11, the highest setting got me 8 fps.

I tried to lower to medium and 1080 but I was still at 17 fps with brutal frame drops. Is this normal?!

My specs are: BazziteOS with Proton GE installed (10-25)

AMD RX 9060 XT 16GB AMD Reyzon 5 9600x MSI B650M GAMING mother board ASUS Prime B650M-A II-CSM 32 GB DDR5 RAM

I know this is not an OS question, but hoping this community might be able to help. And this this seems like a very silly series of questions to ask, but since I got the BC-250 in December and have modified the heatsink, I doubt the eBay seller will do anything to help. And now they cost twice as much...

I was planning on turning this BC-250 into a little Bazzite box for the living room. Mostly for my daughter to play A Corgi's Cozy Hike on. I probably should've tested the unit when I first received it in December, but the holidays and all that. This weekend, I modified the heatsink, replaced thermal pads, and re-pasted the APU. I reassembled everything and plugged in a PSU and nothing happened. I tried a second PSU and still nothing. I tried to auto-power on jumper in both positions and nothing. No lights on the board or anything.

Is there anything else I could try? Or is it likely the board was either DOA or that I killed it somehow while refreshing it?

Thank you
