That's all folks. EA anticheat has now been added into Battlefield V, so it's the end of being able to play it on Steam Deck and other Linux systems.

I'm trying to see what my FPS is in Bioschock Remastered. Usually, this wouldn't be a problem. I just type in mangohud %command% and it's right there. However this game has to launch the 2K games launcher first, and mangohud appears on screen for the launcher, but once the game is launched through the seperate launcher it disappears. Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this?

Hello!

I just tried RCT3 for linux mint (with steam as it's launcher) and I'm having an issue with the keyboard, it's not detecting any inputs at all (except when writing the ride names), I tried both versions: RCT3 Complete and RCT3 platinum, I tried all versions of proton (including GE), tried uninstalling and installing back, tried disconnecting every other controller, removed the steam input options, looked online but only like 3 people published about this issue as far as I could find (and they didn't get a solution), is there anyone who has experimented the same thing and a possible solution?

Please, lmk...

Thanks..

Edit: The keyboard does work if I run the game with wine but the music doesn't...

I can't be the only one who has thought of this. It would be nice to have the linux-zen kernel that is based on LTS instead of stable. For the performance tweaks/patches that come with zen kernel, but updated less frequently. Does such a kernel exist already, preferably pre-packaged on a distro where I wouldn't have to patch the kernel myself? If not, is this (to apply zen patches to the current LTS) difficult to accomplish?

Whenever I try to launch Midnight Suns (Epic Games Version), it crashes. Are there any fixes for this? I’ve tried multiple wine and proton versions, but with no luck

I am getting so irritated with windows 11 I am seriously considering removing and switching to Linux. Couple issues I have is with that pc I use a lot for gaming with steam and I have a nvidia gpu with an amd processor, I know at least the gpu may complicate it some. I only have a little experience with Ubuntu that I put on an old laptop years ago, nothing recent. Please bear with me I know this group probably gets asked for tutorials a lot and I did read the faq's. I'm still undecided on distro but mint seems fairly simple maybe leaning that way. Any advice or pointers that may help? Also if there is a good easy to follow step by step out there I could use that as well. Thank you all and sorry again if this is redundant with a lot of questions you get.

I am (sadly) using Windows 11, and while I like the modern UI, I hate everything else about it: bugs, glitches, forcing AI into my system and most importantly telemetry and data harvesting.

I want to switch to Linux so bad and I have experience with it because I had Arch on my old laptop before, but for some, to me unknown reason, game companies hate Linux and don't add support for Wine/Proton. I absolutely love Rainbow 6 Siege, Warzone and sometimes even like to boot up Fortnite to play with friends, but of course they don't support Linux.

If only Fortnite was not supported but R6 and WZ were, I would immediately switch to Linux. If WZ was not supported, but R6 was, I would hesitate a bit since I don't play WZ that much but would still like to play it. Sadly, R6S is what's keeping me back as I really love the game and I don't want to hassle with dual booting or virtualizing.

Anyone else not switching to Linux yet because of your favorite but Linux-unsupported games?

I've recently acquired a Dell Wyse 5070

Wanted some advice on which OS to go for, I have an old m.2 sata ssd I plan to use it with

I was thinking of going with lubuntu but wasn't sure if that would create too much overhead on the little machine

My use case will just be old games, nes, snes, gameboy ect and hoping to play ps1 and n64 too

I'm aware of batocera but also wanted to be able to install some of my gog games onto this machine so would prefer something with a desktop gui

Any other advice as well would be very appreciated

Thanks, much love

one simple step with common anticheats (easy anti cheat, battleye) to enable support for gnu+linux

Some companies go out of their way to deny linux users (ubisoft with rainbow six siege, EA with their kernel level anticheat)

Valorant wont run on windows 11 without a tpm 2.0 module, not every pc has one, or can support a tpm 2.0 module. Run windows 10, trying to support linux would be too much hastle for them.

Are you kidding me?

Wish valve had the backbone to say "if your game doesnt work on our handheld console (the steam deck), we wont put it on the store page".

I know that is a bad decision financial wise, but the only games that dont seem to work are anticheat related, or could be solved very simply.

Thank you to the devs that make the games work, day one or not long after, or are striving to implement support.

To the devs that do not support players that either cannot afford a valid windows license, cannot afford hardware upgrades, or do not want to run spyware, I will no longer support you, or buy content from you.

Hey all,

I have a linux partition on one drive and a windows partition on the other. I have a steam game installed on the Linux partition and want to copy the game to the Windows partition without redownloading.

How would I go about doing that? Thank you and sorry for the newbie question.

First of all, I'm aware Wayland support in Wine is still experimental.

I'm running Proton TKG 9.5 which includes Wayland support by editing the prefix registry.

Games do run under native Wayland just fine but I've noticed that only my keyboard and mouse are detected, my DualSense is not.

This is odd because a friend of mine doesn't have this issue despite us using the same distro and Wine version (only difference is that they use an Xbox controller)

Any wine Wayland testers also have this issue? I'll rather run native Wayland until Nvidia supports explicit sync on May 15th.

once it reaches the first screen after the logos, the game just quits back to desktop (I never got to see the main menu)

I've tried:

• using Fedora 39 and Ubuntu 22.04
• I've tried Proton 8.05, 9-beta and experimental versions
• I've seen some tips from protondb but those did not make any difference.

Thank you.

Hello. I have far cry 5 on steam and when I used to play it on windows, it always requires ubisoft connect in order to launch it. Here on linux, I installed ubisoft connect through lutris, but I have no idea where to go from here.

I tried starting it from steam, but it goes from running back to stopped after a few seconds.
I did set everything to run with Proton Experimental (tried that and GE-9.2 or whatever version the latest is for proton that we have on steam) but it never launches (both main game and arcade editor)

I tried to see my library in lutris but it never showed me any games. Also tried adding FC5 manually but like with any other game I tried it never worked for me. That's why I always used Bottles to run my games (though locally installed files and not through steam)

Any help would be appreciated!
I run Nobara 39 KDE Plasma (Gnome DE)

I know that my post will be downvoted to oblivion cause of my "whining", but I just need some place to whine I guess. And I also tired to see how many people still pushing almost propaganda level of bullshit, about how good and awesome amd gpu's this days.

So, my main complain right now, is that I can't play games that I wanna play: Diablo 4 and Enshrouded both crashing whole driver after couple of seconds of gameplay. That somehow RT related, as I can assume from bug reports there and there. I wouldn't bother to post this, if it's was "once in a while" issue or GPU was brand new or if bug was brand new. No to all of that. Bug exists for a two months already. And no, I don't wanna play on minimal settings on my 7900xtx. It's fucking stupid.

On top of that, there still old issues like no HDMI 2.1 (what is only supported connection type on my LG C2 and "HDMI 2.1 to display port" adapter ain't chip nor easy to find) or sometimes doesn't working power\clocks control. Also, your can't use so praised gamescope, cause time to time it will also trigger this weird AMDGPU crash.

So yea, not the best experience on my most top of the line amd gpu (NITRO+ RX 7900 XTX Vapor-X). I literally bought e-waste for 1200 euro. I can't play new games on this card and soon it will become obsolete, cause new generation will arrive, bringing better performance. It will not become useless, but just think for a moment: you paying not for investment, you paying to play right now. No one buys top of the line video card to maybe play in the next year. So, I could just bought nvidia card for same price, but didn't do that exactly because of rumors of "best possible gpu driver on linux". Where is it exactly?
Also, I knew someone will go in comments and go like "but nvidia!..": nvidia at least would play my games. I don't care if some odd feature like "solo-gpu VFIO passtrhought" may not work, I literally need gpu to do basic stuff - playing games. Who cares if driver are proprietary, if it focking works?

And that not all, currently I see a wave of post on "amd help" subreddit, due to driver issues on windows. So, compared to nvidia, I can't even switch to windows to fix some of my issues, due to fact, that I will simply get new one.

So, my "hot take" is: amd gpus shouldn't be praised as "savior of linux desktop". Why only nvidia gets all the hate?
