Zenless Zone Zero requiring more storage even though i have 192GB free space

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. März 2026 - 21:27

the title is pretty self explanatory. i deleted all of the unnecessary files i had which was about 10GB and it still didnt let me in. then i checked how much storage i had and i have 192GB free space. thats more than how much zenless takes space. i havent found a fix yet and im running the game through twintail launcher.

About genshin on linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. März 2026 - 21:23

So, my ssd running windows died this week and im not too happy about making a dual boot on my nvme since its not that big. Do any of you guys who plays genshin on linux can tell me if its compromise the account or anything like that? I just play it and cs, so was curious to see if i would really need to grab a small ssd for windows again to not be banned

Q and W keys aren't working in Retrowave

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. März 2026 - 20:54

So as the title suggests, my W key doesn't work in the game Retrowave.

They work just fine anywhere else just not in Retrowave.

I've tried using proton, reinstalling and more.

Just can't seem to find the problem.

If someone has an idea on what's going on I'd appreciate it.

Lies of P on Linux — DX11 is faster than DX12 on both Windows and Linux (benchmarks)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. März 2026 - 20:14

I ran a full benchmark of Lies of P through the intro up to the Puppet Master across five conditions — Linux DX11+/- 32bit enabled, Linux DX12, Windows DX11, Windows DX12. The short version: ∙ DX11 beats DX12 on both OS ∙ Linux DX11 performance is competitive with Windows DX12 ∙ If you’re playing this game on either platform, I recommend adding -dx11 to your Steam launch options The Linux-specific thing worth knowing: If you’re on an NVIDIA 4000 or 5000 series GPU and have PROTON_NVIDIA_LIBS_NO_32BIT=1 in your launch options from other games, remove it for Lies of P. With that flag enabled I was getting severe frametime spikes of 70ms+ throughout gameplay. Removing it eliminated the stuttering almost entirely with zero impact on average FPS.

I also found PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 necessary — the game kept freezing without it. Hardware: RTX 5080 · Ryzen 7 9800X3D · 1440p · No upscaling · Max settings · NVIDIA 595.45.04 · CachyOS 6.19.8 Full benchmark video with frametime graphs and GPU data here — didn’t want to lead with it.

Split/Second on Ubuntu via Proton

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. März 2026 - 19:52

Bit of a niche game and it doesn't have *official* support but protondb is full of people saying stuff like "it just works".

So far I've tried protonGE 10-33, takes a long while to give any feedback when booting but it did run the install scripts. It then immediately closed after opening. I've tried a few of the different versions of proton that ship with steam including the experimental version.

If it helps, Ubuntu 24.04 i5-7300HQ and a gtx 1050. not the best specs I know but more than enough to play this game according to the recommendations on the store page.

What's frustrating me is it isn't giving me a crash log or anything to actually diagnose the problem nor am I aware that I'm doing anything any differently to those on protondb.

Is there any chance someone has some experience with this? Many thanks in advance :)

Please Help: Gigabyte RX 9070 OC Boosting / Power Throttling Issues with LACT

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. März 2026 - 19:28

I'm just at my wit's end with this AMD card and Linux, I really don't blame people for just buying something that works at this point. As far as I can tell I've been using the card while cut off at the knees by about 25% since I got it and only today did I figure out (by a lot of randomly tweaking the settings pretty much, I'm not smart) that there was so much performance being left on the table. I've been running locked at around 2100MHz on a GPU capable of over 3000MHz and I'm completely stumped as to why.

I'm on CachyOS Linux, latest kernel and updates, and I've attached 3 pictures showing my 9070 and LACT/OCCT and Mangohud with Space Marine 2 running in the background to show exactly what the issue is depending on how LACT is set.

It straight up makes no sense to me and I would hugely appreciate someone explaining like I'm 5 as to what is going on here.

Pic 1: "Optimal/Fixed Setting, Boosts correctly with no stuttering"

  • GPU boosts to around 2800MHz
  • Power Limit Usage max
  • LACT Performance level set to "Automatic"
  • For SOME REASON I have to set the GPU Clock Offset to -500, almost as if it's just "getting it out of the way" of whatever it's interfering with, setting the GPU voltage offset to -90 approximately; this is optimal performance, it's cool and quiet too. If I DON'T do this, the frame time graph splits from the power graph i.e it's putting out more frames than there is power to keep up with it, causing stuttering in games, which I'll show in Pic 2.

Pic 2: LACT set to Automatic but it's clearly borked whereby the GPU is boosting to around 3100MHz while the Power Limit maxed but causes horrible stuttering

  • LACT Performance level set to "Automatic"
  • No adjustments to power states
  • Everything looks great except if you examine Mangohud in the bottom left (Space Marine 2) you'll see it's power throttling (yellow line separates from green line), and this causes stuttering during gameplay.
  • No adjustment I can make e.g voltage offset or anything else can prevent power/frametimes "bifurcating" like this. It's like the clock speed is outpacing the power supply or something.

Pic 3: "Default"

  • This is how I set my GPU when all I cared about was stopping the stuttering and how it has been left set for the most part. I really didn't know what I was doing when I initially solved the horrible stuttering in Space Marine 2
  • Enabled "Manual" Performance Control
  • Checking the "Enable power state configuration" box seemed to lock it to around 2100MHz and change and this stopped the framedrops and power throttling that was visible in Mangohud.

Unfortunately while Power Usage Limit is maxed out, it literally NEVER boosts beyond about 2150MHz, and this is just not right for an RX 9070 OC, the Boost Clocks on the box state it should do around 2700 at least.

Basically I've been using my card cut off at the knees since I got it. I hope someone can help!!!!!!

CAN`T PLAY L4D2 ONLINE

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. März 2026 - 19:14

Im using Ubuntu 24.04 and I can`t connect to any online games of any mode, I don`t know what else to do; when I use proton, the VAC appears; on Steam Linux runtime the game crashes when a special infected shows up; and with the native version I cant even join. I have no workshop mods, the game settings are the default ones, I have veryfied the integrity of the files 16 times and reinstalled the game, and still doesnt work. What should I do? when I used Pop OS it worked perfectly

Discord NVIDIA Hardware-Accelerated Screen Sharing

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. März 2026 - 18:51

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on adding NVENC encoding support for NVIDIA VAAPI: https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi-driver/pull/425

While debugging an issue on Discord’s side, I stumbled upon something interesting. It looks like Discord actually supports hardware-accelerated screen sharing using NVENC, and it has for a while.

With a small tweak to the original file, I managed to get it working.

If you want to try it, replace the file at: `~/.config/discord/0.0.128/modules/discord_voice/index.js`

Modified file: https://pastebin.com/SyMkwgnv

If you're using something like NixOS, don't forget to run it this way
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/run/opengl-driver/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:-}" discord

Recommendation for a new user??

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. März 2026 - 18:26

Hello everyone. I’m wanting to try Linux and I’m looking for recommendations. It’s just for gaming, and I’ll list my specs below

Ryzen 7 3700x CPU

3070 GPU

Just tryna do something different. This is my secondary PC so it won’t be a daily driver but I do wanna get to know Linux a bit.

I’m leaning towards Mint, but wondering what other gamers prefer? Thanks!

Tweaks for performance?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. März 2026 - 18:07

Do you guys tweak anything on your system or just use it as it comes? Im planning to ditch mint and install debian and i was wondering what stuff can be done to improve gaming performance or performance in general.
Any suggestions?

Should i uninstall CoreCtrl or disable AMD Overclocking when i swap my AMD GPU?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. März 2026 - 17:44

Basically a title. i want to swap my RX 570 to RX 6600XT and since i have some tuning profiles in CoreCtrl, should i uninstall CoreCtrl or disable AMD Overclocking for avoiding any conflict?
