Does anyone know how to install Brawl Stars?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. März 2025 - 16:30

Asked a few days back abt installing some games on Linux. After searching up a bit, I've manged to install all except for Brawl Stars. Bluestacks dosen't work(I've tried changing to 32-bit), and waydroid dosen't support Brawl Stars. There is also a surprising lack of APKs available(I've tried opening all APKs I could find from google onto Waydroid directly, but none of them worked). Maybe it's what is needed to run Brawl Stars? Google says that "All client code is written in Objective-C and C++, and server code in Java." I don't know if I have to install Objective C or what its about(read something about GNUStep?) Can anyone advice me on what to do? Will LD-Player work as an alternative? Thanks.

Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Not Detected as Controllers by some Programs – A Fix

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. März 2025 - 14:27

Hey everyone,

I recently ran into an issue with Joy-Con controllers on Linux, and after some troubleshooting, I found a fix that might help others. However, it also raises a bigger question: could a, lets say a RyuJinx(RyuBing) Flatpak, deliver a standard solution?

The Issue

When pairing Joy-Con controllers via Bluetooth, they would connect successfully and even show up in Steam. However, when trying to configure them, they clearly dont work as expected. Switch emulators also failed to detect them, even though they were clearly paired.

Since they worked partially in some programs, it was evident that this was a permissions issue rather than a driver or compatibility problem.

The Fix

The solution was to add the udev rule for Joy-Con controllers. This is documented in the Arch Wiki:
🔗 Arch Wiki - Gamepad Device Permissions

On Arch, this can be fixed easily by installing game-devices-udev from the AUR. However, for other distributions, you may need to manually add the rule. If you want to do that, check out the GitLab repository for game-devices-udev:
🔗 GitLab - game-devices-udev

Proton game not receiving mouse input under wayland

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. März 2025 - 14:12

Been scratching my head with this for a good while. Running Debian Trixie, the upcoming new stable, as my main system because I wanted to get my hand on the wayland (and hyprland) and have been running games on Steam. Linux games, no problem, but I when I run Borderlands 2 on Proton, yes problem.

The game starts without a hitch and I can also navigate the main menu with a keyboard, but it doesn't seem to be receiving the mouse input at all. Xwayland is installed, I have tried various launch options that I have found with the game, have tried Proton versions 9, hotfix and experimental, but nope.

Any ideas, is this a known issue, maybe hyprland issue?

Marvel's Spiderman 2 - broken raytracing

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. März 2025 - 13:30

Hi all,

I'm on:

  • Kernel: 6.13.2-zen1-1-zen
  • 7900 XTX / 24.3.4-arch1.1
  • Proton Experimental / 9.0.4

The game has been working as good as it can so far but somehow, perhaps due to some update last week, now I can't enable Raytracing (and it does improve image quality quite a bit in that game) it.

I get a Wine error "status & "&"vkCreateRayTracingPipelinesKHR"". Of course I made sure to remove all things AMDVLK/AMDGPU-PRO but to no avail. Other games seem to be able to use RT fine so far.

Anyone else also experiencing that and/or having a solution? I'll create a Proton issue in the meantime I guess.

Performance Issue while Gaming. The Gpu starts off good but then it drops to nearly half the wattage and fps gets capped to 30. I set everything in performance mode.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. März 2025 - 11:57

I am playing GRW the non steam version with Steam. After learning a lot of things over time like enabling shader precacheing into a folder and loading it in a script at the time of game launch. Basically I also noticed that game stutters therefore I wrote a script which sets the gpu in highest performance mode and persists that. It made a drastic change but now what happens is after few seconds into the game the fps is nice but then the cpu wattage drops to half the wattage the fps is like ~30 although the game is smooth. I also enabled dxvk_hud=compiled to see whether that is caused by it but that does not turn out to be true. I checked cpu usage that is also fine, the temps are also under control. What is happening and how to fix that?

I use Cachyos with proton cachyos. GPU is RTX 3050 laptop. I am on Wayland Gnome. The log says correct timestamps and confirms that it ran. I tried X11 but similar things happen.

The script is mentioned below:

!/bin/bash Log script start

echo "$(date) - GPU Boost Script Ran" >> ~/gpu_boost.log

Enable high-performance mode for GPU

echo "$(date) - Enabling GPU Boost" >> ~/gpu_boost.log sudo nvidia-smi -pm 1 # Enable persistence mode sudo nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:0]/GPUPowerMizerMode=1" # Set to maximum performance mode echo "$(date) - GPU Boost Enabled" >> ~/gpu_boost.log

Launch the game and wait until it exits

echo "$(date) - Launching game: $@" >> ~/gpu_boost.log "$@" wait # Wait for all child processes to exit echo "$(date) - Game exited" >> ~/gpu_boost.log

Restore GPU settings to auto mode

echo "$(date) - Restoring GPU settings to auto mode" >> ~/gpu_boost.log sudo nvidia-smi -pm 0 # Disable persistence mode sudo nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:0]/GPUPowerMizerMode=0" # Set to auto mode echo "$(date) - GPU settings restored to auto mode" >> ~/gpu_boost.log
