What is this error (and how do i fix it)?
Intel HD 3000 2nd generation i5
Are there are any software rasterizers that can be used with linux or windows 10 to run directx11 games like neverwinter or star trek online? Has anyone tried this on this GPU? Is it possible? What about crocus. gallium3d or mesa? Anyone make it possible to backward convert vulkan to support this driver? How slow are we talking 0-5 fps, 10-15 fps, 20-25 fps for sto and neverwinter? Also I tried WARP and it loaded but did not get as far as drawing graphics, rig is 6 gb i5 2.6 gz 2nd generation 2540

Steam Game stopped using GPU
Is there a Launch option in steam to force GPU usage?
Yesterday I swapped to Wayland and then back to Mate,
Since then, I am trying to run Vampire the Masquerade bloodlines, but it stopped using the GPU and now it uses the CPU only.
Other games still use the GPU just fine.

Charge limit issue - ASUS TUF F15
Hello, I have issue with battery limit on ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX507ZC4. It doesn't limit the battery to 85% as it should, it simply ignores the limit. What I've tried:
- asusctl
- bat
- tlp
- writing 85 in /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_control_end_threshold
I also changed from ubuntu to fedora, and nothing changed. It ignores the limit I set. Everything works on Windows 11...

Shogun Showdown Review: Super Samurai Strategy (Reviewed on Linux)
The Division 2 via Lutris
Hi everyone,
I hope someone here may have an answer for me. I tried running The Division 2 via the Ubisoft Connect Launcher which I installed in Lutris.
The Ubisoft Connect Launcher works flawless but if I start The Division 2, the game will be stuck in the epilepsy warning screen.
I suspect that Lutris fails to apply the Proton Environment to the game once I launch it via the Ubisoft Launcher.
For some reason none of my Ubisoft games are listed in Lutris, so the only way right now is to start the game inside the Launcher.
What else I tried?
-Creating an entry pointing directly to the Division exe
-Various different Proton Versions including (Lutris-ge-proton8-26, Proton experimental and wine-ge-proton8-26 -> all stuck in epilepsy warnign; GE-Proton latest -> won't even launch ubisoft) -I tried to add to the Ubisoft Connect entry the launcher option uplay://launch/4932/0
-Tried to add the game exe and the Ubisoft Connect exe as non-steam game and launch it there
My google-fu is at its end I really don't know what else I could try. I have seen several people claiming to actually being able to play the game via Lutris and there are even some YouTube Videos showing it, though I do not know how they were able to actually get it running.
I really appreciate any other hint or idea what mistake I do. Thanks in advance!

Running dota2 on arch linux.
I have the following characteristics:
- Geforce 1050ti 4g- nvidia 560 drivers
- intel i7 8th
- RAM 16g
- Arch linux hyprland
- steam for linux
I started it through lutris - it didn't help. It seems that everything that is needed has been established. I have Vulkan and Proton.
- Dota2 cannot check anti-cheat.
- In the settings, there is no option to choose the screen refresh 144 rate. (has 144 in the system configuration and the monitor supports it)
- With medium settings, it already lags in the menu.
I used to run it on Kubuntu. Everything worked and everything seemed to be configured the same way. Even managed to set up Throne and Liberty to run via VPN.

Ark Survival Evolved : Missing Game Executable.
So, i've not played Ark SE for a while now. And felt like delving into it once more.
I installed it, and it downloaded instantly... Or at least, i got the "Download complete" message from steam, in less than a second, after hitting the steam "install" button. And THEN it started downloading... But it only downloaded 22.7 Gb.
So, what's the deal ? Am i wrong, in assuming, that it only downloaded the Mods i have for the game, and NOT the game itself?
Which WOULD explain, why i get the message "Missing Game Executable" when trying to launch the damn game?
I'm running Ark SE through steam, on a Nobara 40 OS.
Strange problem... But i see people have experienced similar issues, back in '22... Though, i couldn't find a post that gave an answer to WHY, or how to fix it ?
Hope there's a genius out there who can assist me, with some answers...
I keep having this thought... The Devs got so greedy, and money hungry, that they utterly removed Ark SE files, for their greedy Ark Survival Ascended.
Personal opinion : No way, i'd ever pay for a Mod, unless it's a massive one, that completely overhauls the game.
Quality of Life mods - Should and HAVE to be free... But that's just me !

VAC was unable to verify games session
I am Arch Linux user and play CS2 but I am getting "VAC was unable to verify games session" and I can't find solution for linux. I have verified game files reinstalled CS2 and steam itself. Do you know a solution or redirect me to a solution. That would be great help.
Note: I have played CS2 in my system previously and it suddenly occurred.

How can I change language of games in Lutris?
Long story short, I'm new to Linux. I downloaded Lutris and Cyberpunk. Sadly, it downloaded in English, while I wanted Polish version. Lutris has its hud in Polish and I used it since I bought CP on GoG, not Steam. Within game I cannot change voiceover language. What should I do?

Enumerating and Writing to hidraw devices in Wine
I'm successfully playing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 from Steam with my Honeycomb Aero Alpha and Bravo with some community addon problems.
Two main problems:
vPilot addon does not recognize button presses on the Alpha to bind the push-to-talk button
The Bravo comes with an addon called AFC_Bridge that reads the simulation state through the SimConnect API and writes feature requests to the USB HID to set lights on the Bravo and is not setting the Bravo lights at all.
Environment:
Kernel: Linux 6.10.13-3-MANJARO
Proton: 1727104926 proton-9.0-3c
Options: {'noopwr', 'forcelgadd'}
Troubleshooting steps taken:
Confirm the devices actually work.
Confirm permissions issues aren't to blame.
Confirm AFC_Bridge is running
Confirm Wine allows direct communication with the HIDs
To confirm that the devices work, I plugged them into a windows device and they worked flawlessly. I also coded up a simple program in rust to manipulate the lights on linux which proves that I can write to the lights directly with native linux applications.

So permissions look good. Maybe AFC_Bridge isn't running?
no, "ps aux | grep AFC_Bridge.exe "shows that it's running under my username, and the SimConnect inspector within Microsoft Flight Sim's Dev Mode shows that it is sending L:Var data to the bridge. The data just isn't making it from the bridge to the Bravo.
So if permissions looks good, and AFC_Bridge is pulling data from Microsoft Flight Sim, then the issue must be with Wine?
Checking the registry, and changing Enable SDL to 0 and EnableHidraw to my selected devices did not change the outcome.

These registry entries should be allowing hidraws to be directly passed through to wine, right?
Are these programs simply not able to identify these hidraw devices as available HIDs?
I am looking for any advice for where to go from here. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Controllers that have working rumble via dongle connection on linux
Are there controllers that have 2.4 dongles that work on linux with full features (xbox mode, rumble, dongle + rumble; i'm here for the rumble + dongle feature really) outside the xbox + PS controllers?
I've recently bought a Gamesir Nova Lite for its dongle connectivity (so I just plug and play) but was disappointed by it. Dongle works fine but It had no rumble and it defaults to Android mode when connecting via the dongle on Nobara OS.
I was able to workaround it and have rumble working but via Bluetooth (through NS mode + Xone / XpadNeo), but that's bluetooth again :(
Going back to the title of this post, are there controllers with dongles that have working rumble via its dongle mode on linux (adding xone / xpadneo and related drivers are not a problem)?

Grab my roguelike tower defense, native Linux build, plays great on Steam Deck and is having the deepest discount since launch
If you use GNOME and you try to alt-tab or otherwise switch focus away from a fullscreen game, have you found that you need to do it twice?
This is NOT a tech support thread. Right now I'm just wondering whether I'm the only one who has experienced this in GNOME. I find that in many games I need to switch focus away from them twice if I want to switch to another window. The first one seems to switch focus as far as the DE is concerned, but the game remains on top regardless. It's only after the second time that I select the window I want (whether it's through alt-tabbing or through the overview) that the window I want shows up on top.
If other people have experienced this, then maybe we can share notes on when this happens and see if there are any common elements.
