Anyone found a fix for this? Wow worked great all through season 1 and 2 and now after Season 3 update, suddenly doesn't want to work with Wine/Lutris. I've tried Wine 10.11 thru 10.13 I can get it to run with GE Proton, but that has its own issues with mouse cursor vanishing and the mouse stopping at the window edges. (can't rotate character 360 degrees.). This only happens when executing the wow.exe game. Battle.net works just fine.

System:

• Ubuntu 25.04
• Mesa 25.1.5
• Kernel 6.15.9
• AMD 7950x3d + 7900XTX

I currently have a GTX 1650, which I use on my Linux machine to play games, but I keep hearing all of these amazing things about AMD GPUs, particularly by the Linux folks, and yet I didn't experience any of that greatness that people talk about?

I might've done something wrong at the time, but back when I had an AMD Radeon R5 M330 the experience was just awful. It already wasn't a very good GPU on Windows (sometimes slower than the iGPU), but besides browser games, it simply sucked ass to use AMD on Linux for me. Performance was slower, by a huge margin. On Windows on CS:GO at the time I would get like 70-100fps on 720p low, while on Linux that dropped to an unstable 40fps, all the while wine games all ran like shit with stutters and everything. So far my NVIDIA experience has been great, but I am tempted to upgrade my rig so I can play Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, since on Windows it gets like 50fps (would've been fine if I didn't have a 144hz monitor), target is like 100fps, 900p low is fine by me. I see these tests on Linux and see people getting like double the FPS on Linux versus Windows with AMD GPUs.

Hello everyone.

After years of not using Windows and way more of being a main Linux user, which feels great, I decided I wanted to play some WoW again.

Figuring out how Wine, ProtonPlus and Litrus is used to run a Battlenet was confusing and I still don't understand what everything about it is and what each is for, I really feel I shouldn't spend time understanding that.

After overcoming tons of issues I was able to run Battlenet, install WoW from there, and run it. I was able to see my old characters, create new ones and do everything that comes before pressing "Enter World".

At that point I see the screen I attached as screenshot. The bar loads, some sounds of the startup point load, and then it just stays there. I've gone and done some other tasks for over an hour and the screen would be the same. Pressing anything or switching windows will prompt the "Force Quit" message which I have to click on of course since there's nothing else the game is doing at that point.

I tried lots of Proton-GE, GE-Proton, tkg and whatnot, whatever the f* they are. I installed them on ProtonPlus and tried them all on lutris. Old and new versions, beta versions. I tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling. I tried lowering graphics, resolution, VPN, no VPN, windowed, fullscreen (I have two monitors), I tried one monitor connected only, and other minor changes.

Then I uninstalled everything and installed Steam for Linux, and did this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwT-VocQuKc

Since that was WAY easier and quicker than the struggle I went through and felt just abysmally different, and it had nothing to do with installing anything else, I was pretty confident it could work. I tried the 9.0.4 compatibility latest stable proton version that Steam offers but the updater for battlenet didn't work. So I switched to the 10 beta version and then battlenet worked perfectly well. I installed WoW, ran the game, pressed "Enter World" and... yup.

So no matter what I do; I've tweaked so many things now, it gives the exact, exact same result each and every time. The only different result I've seen is when creating a new character; the narrator voice audio thing will load and play behind the frozen loading screen, and in that case the bar wont load fully, but visually nothing else changes. I have no subscription or expansions updated beyond Dragonflight. So I'm trying only low level characters first, I just want to know I can run it first before I pay (That's right Blizzard, you won't get your money in this case unless you make games for Linux at f*ing last, like civilized people. Pretty sure that would make you more money than any of the garbage boring new stuff that you make).

It's already driven me nuts and since I have no intention of using a Microsoft malware surveillance OS you're my only hope to play WoW again, I hope there's someone well acquainted to the issue that knows the fix.

I'm using Ubuntu 22.04, Nvidia GPU. Let me know if there's any other specifications that you need to know.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm switching to Linux (now that proton works very well), but I've noticed that compared to Windows, I don't get stable 60fps in games such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Dead By Daylight, even when lowering the graphics.

I have an AMD 6800XT with a Ryzen 5 5600G. I play in 4K just like I did in Windows.

Is it because I should install a distro for gaming like Bazzite?

I have installed EndeavourOS, because I prefer AUR/Pacman over DNF, but I will install Bazzite unless there's a fix for this.

Any ideas?

Looks like I'm gonna get some use out of this account.

I'm running Ubuntu (not Kubuntu) and I was using GNOME until my incorrigible twink friend convinced me to try KDE Plasma, which I'm liking so far. Except now, none of my games use my GPU, even when I log back into GNOME. From what I can tell, everything is using llvmpipe via Mesa which is a software renderer. I know my nvidia drivers work because the Plasma desktop and Wayland compositor are using them, and I can use the full 144hz refresh rate of my monitor. Through all of my googling I can't seem to find someone else who's had this same issue.

My system configuration:

Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.12 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0 Qt Version: 5.15.13 Kernel Version: 6.14.0-27-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-Core Processor Memory: 30.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: zink Vulkan 1.4 Manufacturer: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Product Name: MS-7E10 System Version: 1.0

My GeForce RTX 5070 is not recognized in the system info, even though Plasma is using it!

What I've tried so far:

• Sidegrade/downgrade my nvidia driver package
  • nvidia-driver-575, -570, -575-server, and -570-server all cause my system to hang on the Ubuntu splash screen. Right now I'm using -575-open which at least boots successfully. I'm not sure if the other drivers crashing my system has anything to do with this issue, though.
• Deleting /etc/X11/xorg.conf, xorg.conf.d, /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf and the xorg.conf.d in that directory as well.
• Regenerating /etc/X11/xorg.conf with nvidia-xconfig, though I'm not sure what effect this has as I'm using Wayland.
• (Stupidly) uninstalling libllvm-18 which bricked my X11 sessions without fixing my issue.
• Setting the MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT and KWIN_DRM_DEVICES environment variables, which did nothing.

Some additional info:

If anyone actually reads to the end here, thank you. I know this is a strange issue, but that's why I had to go and post about it.

I was about to spend some big money on an admittedly fancy 2.4Ghz dongle controller, when I decided to throw a hail mary and see if there were other bluetooth managers out there. Yep. And it just works and I don't have to keep reconnecting all my stuff each time I turn it off. Figured I'd pass it along. Remember you matter, and have an AMAZING day!

Hi, I am trying to get Microsoft Flight Simulator to run in Linux, but so far I had not much success despite it being Gold on ProtonDB. I have a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Nvidia 5080 with Version 575-Drivers. Tried it with Linux Mint and CachyOS, both got the same Problem. It loads initially, I can log in to my Microsoft-Account. After that you can see the loading bar move a bit and then it just stops. Background-Pictures continue to cycle for another 2 minutes or so, then Linux asks, if you want to wait or force the game to quit. Tried Proton 9.0-4, lates Proton GE, and on CachyOS the current native Proton, same Behavior. Anyone got any Idea?

I have a PC that I share with my brother and a laptop for myself. The specs are rx 6600xt + r5 5600x for the PC, and i5 12th gen + mx 450 (not sure of the laptop's gpu). The main question is this: Would linux make my laptop just a bit capable of handling games? I mainly play valorant, lol & minecraft. I read before that riot's anticheat doesn't work on linux, and I have no problem with droping val & lol. I also play the witcher 3 sometimes and sekiro too.

Guys, I've been using dual boot for some good years now. Linux was mainly used for work and Windows for gaming.

Yesterday, I was doing nothing, and I decided to give Wine a try (I've never used it before tbh). It's pretty straightforward to use, but upon making a quick performance test on a Wine CinebenchR23, it delivered like ~21000 points, while I get some ~34000 on Windows.

Is this performance drop normal??

Hey everyone,

I recently switched to CachyOS and wanted to share my experience so far. My specs are: Ryzen 9 9950X3D + RTX 4090, paired with an HDR G-SYNC–enabled monitor. Overall, I’m really happy with the results, but I’m running into some issues with gaming stability.

My main question is whether there’s anything I can do right now, or if I basically just need to wait for better NVIDIA driver support.

HDR issues

I tried Cyberpunk 2077 and Silent Hill 2, but I couldn’t get HDR to work in either game. HDR is enabled under “Display Configuration,” but it doesn’t seem to apply. I’m running the games through Steam with “Force GE-Proton10-12”.

Performance / smoothness

FPS is decent (a noticeable hit compared to Windows, but about what I expected). The issue is smoothness—it feels like something is off with G-SYNC / V-Sync / VRR. I couldn’t find the right options in the NVIDIA control panel on Linux. It’s like the games run, but without proper frame pacing.

I’ve attached screenshots of my current settings. If something looks misconfigured, or if there are tweaks I can try to improve this, I’d really appreciate the help.

Thanks a lot!

Recently tried running Black Ops 3 with the CleanOps patch via steamtinkerlaunch.

The problem I have now is that I can "open" the patch UI but I can't really do anything in it as I can't see it on screen. Does anyone really know a fix for this?

Window session is XWayland and Proton Version is GE Proton 10-10
