Basically, I want to make my own version of Sea Rogue. It's one of my favorite games ever, and I'd like to see if I can make something like it on my own. I don't have any interest in trying to publish or sell it.

Can y'all give me any advice oh how to get started? Tools, programs, etc? I'm on Garuda Linux.

So I'm having some issues playing Borderlands 3. This problem only started happening after I got so far into the game. For about 60 hours of playtime, I did not have this problem. Then one day certain parts of it started cutting out. I can only assume this was after updates. I played most of this game in Linux Mint 21.3, but have since installed CachyOS and still have the same problem.

EDIT: So this does in fact appear to be a CachyOS problem. I'm booted into Mint 21.3 right now was able to watch all the pre-menu splashes and loading screens with no black screens. It's working fine in Mint. Is it a Wayland thing?

Parts of the game will just go completely black on my 3440x1440 UWHD monitor including the pre-menu splash screens and loading screens. I no longer see the Gearbox intro, for example, or Claptop prancing across the screen as the menu loads. It does eventually load into the menu, however, and I am able to resume my saved game. However, when looking in certain directions the screen will go completely black. Sometimes it will come back and sometimes I must look in a different direction to make the display return. I think that in some cases it might have something to do with draw distance? At one point I was looking into the distance over this huge drop that you jump down and the screen would go black, yet when I moved the mouse to peer at my feet, the image would return. When opening menus or the map, the screen will go black briefly before finally displaying said menu or map. It's rendering the game unplayable. What makes it stranger is that when I alt-tab out of the game into any other window, it will display the game just fine in the background, but once I return it to focus, it goes black again.

I've tried the latest version of GE-Proton. I've tried a few older versions. I've tried Proton Experimental and the native CachyOS Proton package. I've tried enabling/disabling shader precaching, vertical sync, framerate cap. I've tried Windowed full screen, full screen. I've verified the integrity of local files.

I'm running CachyOS, as mentioned. I run updates every time I shut the machine down. I'm not sure if the distro is relevant as I mentioned I played most of this game in Linux Mint if I recall correctly it started happening in that distro as well before I installed CachyOS. I will log back into my Mint installation which I still have for the time being and make certain of that. I will edit this post when I've done so.

EDIT: Again, as mentioned above, this issue has occurred since installing CachyOS. I don't know what it is about this distro causing issues but I thnk it might be Wayland related.

I have 32GB DDR4, AMD Radeon RX7800 XT Nitro+, Asrock B550M Pro4, Ryzen 7 5700X3D.

If there is any other information required, just let me know.

Does anyone have any ideas? This is maddening.

I am trying to install Mod Organizer 2 on Linux for Skyrim by putting the .exe file for MO2 on Steam and running it via Proton. Installation was fine until I needed to create an instance. Specifically, I am prompted with selecting Skyrim's file in the file explorer so MO2 can create an instance around it, but I'm not sure where I need to look or if Skyrim's file is even in the file explorer that's in the installation.

Even after I finish installation though, how will I boot up the installed version of MO2? Will it be automatically added to my Steam library? I should be left with only the .exe, no?

I'm using MO2 because I read it's able to detect all the mods of a save (I used Vortex when I was on Windows) and unexpectedly I actually still have my old Skyrim save, which I would like to continue. I just need to get MO2 running so I can redownload all my mods and continue the old save.

Please let me know if I need to elaborate on anything. Honestly modding Skyrim on Windows was difficult so doing the same on Linux seems intimidating but I'm dedicated and am certainly not constrained by time. Thanks for any assistance.

Hello so couple of months ago I've completely switched to Linux, tested all my games and they run normally. However I've noticed that I would get these random lag spikes when playing Dayz and they would be unpredictable, and the only way to fix them would be to restart the game. I've started to monitor everything to get to the bottom of this and I've noticed that when they occur the Vram utilisation is at 100% aka 8gbvram, restarting the game fixes it for the next 2 hours or so but I want to prevent this from happening in the first place any ideas?

Specs: Linux mint GPU: RTX 4060 CPU: Ryzen 5 7600 Motherboard: B650m d3hp 32gb ram 1TB nv3 SSD

Basically as title who do I have to point fingers at?

Wayland is nearly 20 years old yet valve still defaults to xwayland.

hi I'm relatively very new to linux and have only used mint before. context is on my daily driver laptop the wifi option stopped showing up on windows and nothing was working so i got annoyed and dual booted to ubuntu. since then idk how my windows boots up at 100% cpu usage and all my games close because of not enough memory. as for ubuntu the games work through proton experimental on steam very well. ex: elden ring at 60fps for 1st 15 mins. and then the fps tanks. what could be the reason for this and how do i fix it? specs: msi gf 63 ultra thin laptop rtx 3050 4gb vram intel i5 16gb ram using proprietary nvidia 575 drivers and prime-select query shows nvidia as well

Hello!

I'm new here. I joined because I feel like I've exhausted all possible ways to try and make Marvel Rivals work. Below is my current specs and launch options I use for the game. If anyone has gotten this to work please let me know what you did. (Also I run this on a gaming laptop with dual GPUs which is why the launch options have the GPU specified)

Thank you for the help.

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia SteamDeck=1 gamemoderun %command% -PSOCompileMode=1

There also this concerning tidbit. When I close Rivals, my screen occasionally looks like this.

I added a second GPU, a 5060 Ti 16GB to my R11 which already had a 2070 Super. I just cannot get the games on steam run on the 5060. Steps I have tried to set the games to the correct GPU:

1. Connect the HDMI to the 5060
2. Set the VKD3D_VULKAN_DEVICE=1 for steam and for individual games - the games end up crashing on launch
3. Set DRI_PRIME=1, which helped with putting the game launcher menu (for CDPR games) on the 5060 but the game still ended up in 2070

Any help will be greatly appreciated here. Thanks in advance

im quite a linux noob but have been enjoying my experience so far and in no way plan to switch back to windows.

that being said i am looking to upgrade my 2080 gpu and considering im going to be full time on linux now im quite torn between amd and nvidia...

currently my budget would get me a nice 5070 ti/5080 if i really push it or a 9070 xt/7900 xtx. from what ive seen both have their upsides and downsides from eachother but how is it on linux?

so far ive had very little issues (only a couple monitor issues) with my nvidia gpu but ive also only been using linux for a couple weeks, so i cant really speak for longterm nvidia usage.

nvidia seems to be getting better in compatibility but amd seems to be reliable and getting better in what their gpus can do.

so ive come to ask for tips how things are looking right now and potentially if i should hold out for a couple months before i switch/switch right now and if so, what you guys think would be the better choice.

for context im currently on cachyos running hyprland (i know, how unique) and considering hopping to nixos.

hey everyone, i have some games on lutris, that when i try to run them, they either don’t detect my ps4 controller at all, or the inputs are weird, i tried everything, from trying different proton/wine versions to installing xinput on prefixes, i even tried running some of these games on steam (as non-steam games) and they won’t even launch, some other games (on lutris and steam) do work with the controller fine though, but i really wanna get to the bottom of this so if anyone has encountered this and found a solution please help, thanks

Hello everyone!

This is basically my take on the meme “we have a Nintendo Switch 2 at home.” Jokes aside, I’m here to share a bit of my successes and failures using Nobara to consolize an old laptop with some extra power from an eGPU. Hopefully you can give me some advice to squeeze a little more juice out of this Frankenstein console moving forward.

Parts

• MSI PE70 laptop with no internal screen (I repurposed it to build a second monitor for my main PC): i7-6700HQ, 16 GB DDR4, and a GTX 960M. In its NVMe M.2 bay, I installed one of those Oculink adapters.
• Zotac 3060 Ti Twin Edge on an F9G Oculink dock.

It’s alive!

For the most part, the experience has been plug-and-play! The first thing I did was run lspci to check if the eGPU was detected, and sure enough, it was. I downloaded FFXIV to test the performance (not extensively) at 1080p, max settings. With V-Sync enabled, it was holding a stable 60 FPS.

MangoHud showed 2 GPUs (strange, since I actually have 3 in there: the iGPU, the dGPU [GTX 960M], and the eGPU). It was using GPU1, which turned out to be the eGPU. In the screenshot you can see me testing FFXV with similar success (high settings at 1080p).

Rough edges

It’s been great overall, but I’ve run into a few rough spots I haven’t been able to solve:

1) Game Mode (aka the new Big Picture) has poor performance
At first, I was running the desktop environment at 4K since the system is hooked up to a 4K TV. Desktop mode works flawlessly, but Game Mode is noticeably laggy. Not unusable, but definitely not pleasant.

I enabled hardware acceleration in Steam and lowered the resolution to 1080p, which improved things a lot, but it’s a pity Game Mode struggles. In Game Mode, the GPU listed is the iGPU (Intel HD 530), so I assumed it was rendering through that. I tried disabling it with kernel parameters (i915=0 and nvidia.modprobe=1, if I remember correctly), but no luck. Unfortunately, the laptop has no BIOS option for this either.

I also tried editing the steam.desktop file to add variables like DRI_PRIME=1, or others like __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1, but nothing improved.

2) Inconsistent offloading to the eGPU
Possibly related to the first issue, I noticed that some games—like DOOM (2016… I know, I still haven’t played it)—were running terribly. I realized they were using GPU0 (the iGPU). Adding DRI_PRIME=1 to the launch options fixed it.

However, putting this in /etc/environment doesn’t force all games to use the eGPU. Right now, I still have to manually add the parameter for each game.

3) Video signal must go through the laptop’s iGPU
This iGPU is driving me crazy. The system instantly crashes when entering the graphical environment unless the video signal is routed through the laptop’s mini-DP port. I suspect I’m losing performance because of this—data has to travel both ways through the Oculink interface, which likely increases the bottleneck.

From what I’ve read, most laptops expect either the iGPU or dGPU to drive a display (usually the internal screen, which I don’t have). I ordered a dummy mini-DP plug so I can just mirror to a “second screen” (my TV).

Conclusion

I’m very close to having a console-like experience in my living room, and I’m excited about it. Nobara makes it really easy to consolize the laptop thanks to all the gamer-friendly additions like xpadneo for controllers, Feral Gamemode for performance, MangoHud, etc. Overall, I’d 100% recommend it.

If you have suggestions on how to get past these small bumps in the road, I’d greatly appreciate it. That would finally give me (I think) a seamless, console-like experience.

I'm currently in the market for a (relatively affordable) capture card, and I'm rather uncertain of what I should get - especially for Linux compatibility when I finally make the full switch.

Planning to use it to record:

• Xbox 360 footage.
• HDMI-converted Wii footage.
• HDMI-converted retro PC footage.
• VHS footage from a VCR with native HDMI output (yes, this exists and works).
• Modern PC display output if needed.

As for distros, I primarily use OpenSUSE and Mint, and the capture card will usually be hooked up to an OpenSUSE system.
