Other News about gaming on Linux
I wanted to mess around with the BG3 toolkit but in needs me to tell it where BG3 is on the filesystem, problem is it's in a folder hidden to the toolkits proton instance and all symlinks I try to make are also hidden to proton it seems. Any advice?
Getting a piece of software on a proton instance to be able to see parts of the filesystem is proving difficult, I'm not sure if the issue is permissions or that proton doesn't support the use of symlinks in this way. guess an option is to run chmod but I feel that should be a last resort after I've exhuasted all other options.

i need serious help, just got linux yesterday
so as i said in the more i just downloaded linux mint yesterday and updated all my drivers, i have a laptop with GTX 3060 and core i7 12gen.
i installed stream and tried to follow the guides on proton db but i'm having serious issue running many game,
for example street fighter 6, tekken 8, and elden ring won't boot at all no matter what kind of proton i try
while light games like stardew valley, enter the gundeogen work fine
note: i also tried buldar's gate 3 and it works great out side of the box no problem
i can't figure out what the issue is even ...

Cannot connect online specifically in games using Proton Experimental compatibility?
In the main Steam settings under Compatibility, the Steam default proton compatibility tool is set to Proton Experimental. I forgot if that was what it was set to as default when on a new Steam installation. What does everyone else have it set to?
When it is set to Proton Experimental, connecting online in-game to any game and it's servers fails for me for some reason. Changing to a different proton version connects fine and everything works normally.
Proton Experimental does work fine in running and playing games, just it does not seem to connect to what ever online service or server a game is using.
Just wanted to check if anyone else have this issue with Proton Experimental or is there something not right with my system?

Display FPS with Radeon?
How to display Frames Per Second if I have AMD Radeon GPU? I don't see it in the FAQ and on the wiki. Is this because everyone uses Steam and you only display Frames Per Second with steam overlay? I have some games bought from GOG.

New to linux gaming, 13 max fps
The games that I have tried, Factorio and Rimworld, both run at 13 fps max, the TPS/UPS is fine, my CPU is getting nearly maxed out, and my GPU is not being used, granted neither of those games are GPU heavy. I'm running KDE Neon with KDE Plasma, I've tried X11 and Wayland, I've also tried both X11 and Wayland on GNOME and it made no difference.

Vulkan shaders are murder to drive space
On my steam drive with 10 games installed I had nearly 1tb of shaders I understand shaders are required for the DX to VK conversion but it’s a bit excessive in size might need to buy a new drive just for shaders.

Any tinytask alternatives?
Anyone know of any tinytask alternatives that work well on wayland? If possible the alternative would just be able to record the mouse movement and clicks with auto playback.

Black screen when launching Skyrim SE through MO2
I downloaded a pack through Jackify and when I open the game through Mod Organizer 2 I get the splash screen then it just results in a black screen. Jackify added MO2 to steam for me and I can run Skyrim normally through steam. Anyone here encounter a similar problem?

Spherical Nightmares Mod
Spherical Nightmares mod for Half-Life 2: Episode Two Spherical Nightmares is a Half-Life 2: Episode Two single-player modification. The story takes place in the Half-Life universe and you take the role as Gordon Freeman. Your journey begins in an unknown location. www.moddb.com
My first tests failed as the game was having issues with Proton and would crash. After some research I found you have to rename the game folder and replace the GameInfo.txt

Is there an alternative to Custom Resolution Utility for Linux?
I have a 4K 60 Hz monitor and sometimes want to use it as a 1080p 120 Hz. So I need CRU for Linux. As far as I know, this was possible under X11. But can I also do this under Wayland?

Farming Simulator with Xbox controller
Hi, I'm reaching out because I've run out of ideas... I play Farming Simulator on Fedora (latest version) via Steam. I'm using an Xbox Series S controller, and it works intermittently in the game. I've tried adding it through Fedora's settings and with Xpadneo.
The symptoms: only the joysticks and triggers work in-game.
However, when I view the controller in Steam, all the buttons work.
If anyone has any ideas!

Steam has issues rendering on Fedora GNOME ( I also tried Ubuntu, and had the same problem )
Basically I cannot access the library or the store. I also cannot move it. I searched on Google, and it seems like nobody had this problem which I really doubt.
So does someone know how to solve this? Thanks!

Uncut annotated gameplay footage: full flight from takeoff to landing (~5 min)
Last time I posted I didn't have much to show but talked a bit about how I develop on Linux and obviously have Linux & Steamdeck as my primary platforms :)
Today I'm close to the demo and can show you uncut gameplay footage.
This is a complete flight on the map the demo will (likely) ship with. Took off from a base, picked up a stray cargo crate worth 1337 credits (not planned, I swear), then flew to the nearest platform and landed.
The annotations call out specific moments, but a lot of what's happening between them is just... flying. Fighting the wind, managing altitude, watching fuel and weight.
The game is a cargo delivery loop on a hostile moon. You haul crates between bases, deal with wind, meteors, geysers, and lightning storms, earn credits, repair damage, and upgrade your lander. It's meant to feel meditative between the moments of crisis.
Demo is very close to release. This is pretty much what you'll get in the demo.
Wishlist "Void Cargo: Equilibrium" on Steam and you get info when the demo lands

Looking for 2.4G gamepad with a receiver that doesn't change USB identification when powering on the gamepad itself
Hi there,
Lately I have been on a very boring cycle of massive buy & return with regards to 2.4G gamepads (I am very sensitive to input lag so no, Bluetooth is not an option).
The problem is that all of the ones I tried, from known models like 8BitDo Pro 3 to cheaper options on Aliexpress, come with an USB 2.4G receiver that identifies itself with a vendor:model when the gamepad is OFF and changes it's vendor:model when the gamepad is ON, causing a massive hit on the system because all the systemd+udev+kernel stuff that the re-connection implies., which causes whatever I am emulating to produce several audio dropouts (it's unavoidable even if I pre-load all the needed kernel modules, etc, nothing wrong with my system, it's just that the receiver "self-reconnection" when powering ON the gamepad should NOT happen).
Older, 2.4G digital-only models I have like the 8BitDo M30, SN30+DaemonByte, etc.. do NOT do this absurd thing: the 2.4G USB receiver is always connected and it's vendor:model doesn't change when I turn on the gamepad itself.
So, any recommendations on 2.4G gamepads (with analog sticks) that don't do this vendor:model "swap" thing when activating the gamepad, please?

Why should I be gaming on Linux and not just debloat Windows?
I have been using Linux for a bit now and I really like it, one of my favourite bits is how customisable the desktop is. But while I’m gaming I don’t use the desktop and Windows immediately boots Steam into Big Picture mode. And I know many people WOULD say: “But Aardvark! Windows is horrible spyware and full of ads!” But I am aware of that and that’s why I’ve been debloating using things like O&O ShutUp and Wintoys. But I don’t know if this is as good as using Linux. I don’t game on Linux due to a few reasons (game support, NVIDIA card, etc) but even though I find debloating annoying, I find it less annoying than gaming on Linux. But I want to know if there is anything other than the lack of spyware that I may be missing out on. Something that not even debloating would do for.
