Working on an open-source anti-cheat for Linux - Vigil
so we all know the situation with anti-cheats on linux - most dont work, faceit has no native client, vac barely does anything
been working on this thing, its a daemon that uses ebpf and /proc scanning to check if someone is cheating. has a server with trust scores and matchmaking too
not trying to replace vac or eac, more for community servers and tournaments where people want clean games on linux
still early, v0.3. would be cool to hear what you guys think

What do yall use for steam game mods?
How do you use mods that run widows code on your distro? Been fw getting Steam Tinker working on Mint for several hours now. Got it up and running but it did not solve my problem of running Vortex mods with windows coding on Mint. I’ve been researching but I have run out of time for the day. How and what do yall use?

I have a server with roms on it and I want nobara/fedora to treat them like local files.
Server is running unraid I believe its in ext3, I'm accessing it through smb. I looked into accessing via fish or sftp but it didn't seem appropriate for my use case.
I've been trying with symlinks and connecting it as a directory doesn't work, in terminal or through dolphin. The symlink shows up as one icon linking the directory but emulators cannot access the game images.
I can make a symlink with one file dolphin and it seems to work fine except it adds a .desktop to the end of the bin and cue files which I have to manually remove. I have too many images to do this with. When I try to link through the terminal it complained about ( in the filenames, I imagine I can handle that with escape characters.
Ultimately this is only useful if I can map the entire directory of for example psx to a folder somewhere on my computer to use.
I'm not inexperienced with linux, I've been using it since I installed it on a ps3 but this is my first time trying to map network drives which is relatively easy to do on windows.
Should I be using something other than symlinks? I just want my roms to load off the server so I don't have to have more copies of them.
Thanks you

[flash warning!] Weird geometry stretching??? in Titanfall 2
This started happening today I have NO idea what's causing it or how to fix it! it seems to only happen after a bit longer sessions but it probably doesn't have anything to do with overheating (gpu at ~68°C) could this perhaps be a hardware issue? I haven't tested any other games yet.
Sometimes when i tab out the performance also seems to become bad (render resolution dropping, low frame rates)
specs:
Arch Linux
Kernel: Linux 6.19.9-arch1-1
DE/WM: Hyprland
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
Proton: GE proton10 32

Is this the correct directory for Proton AC4 Black Flag's saves?
Just want to confirm as older post and even chatgpt points to Ubisoft Game Launcher on AppData which is /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/242050/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Ubisoft Game Launcher
I found the whole Ubisoft Launcher contents including the savegames folder on /home/user/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/242050/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Ubisoft/Ubisoft Game Launcher or simply put, it was inside of Program Files (x86) folder.
I hope many can confirm as I need to delete the game and I cannot test the if removing the savegames folder does affect the saves as Ubisoft Connect is acting up again, can't login even with VPN enabled. I am also low on storage so I really need to delete the game.

New to pc and Linux; I’ve got a possibly dumb question.
Hi! So I’m very new to pc and my friend helped me install Linux mint cinnamon.
But I have a question!
I have a laptop that I bought two games on, Minecraft and stardew valley. I did not buy these through steam, rather I just used the AppStore on my laptop. Would I be able to transfer these games from my laptop to my pc? From researching it looks like I need a hard drive. Could I use the same one I used to install Linux?
Is it even possible for me to Transfer the games not bought from steam to my pc that’s got Linux?
I’m sorry if this seems like a dumb and easily answerable question but I really need help.
Thanks in advance!

Why won't Bloodborne Work?
I'd like to play Bloodborne. I'm on Arch Linux. I have an Intel i5 and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER graphics card.
I downloaded BB Launcher from Nexus mods:
https://www.nexusmods.com/bloodborne/mods/194?tab=description
I got the game to run, but once I get past the character creation screen, the screen goes black and it freezes. I have to force stop the game.
Any idea why? Thank you for your time and support!

Doom Dark Ages crashes with DLSS
Has anyone managed to play for any significant period of time with DLSS enabled? I've tried on both Ubuntu 24 and Fedora 43 and both of them crash after 10-15 minutes of play with a bugsplat error.
The higher I have DLSS the faster it crashes but it doesn't seem like it's possible to play unless I disable it completely.

Wine will now automatically overrides native DLLs using smart heuristics, making out-of-the-box compatibility even better
From this commit by lead Wine developer Alexandre Julliard:
ntdll: Add heuristics to prefer native dll based on the version resource. For now checking that CompanyName isn't 'Microsoft'.
How it works: The update adds a heuristic to ntdll that triggers when Wine is deciding whether to use a "builtin" (Wine-provided) or "native" (application/microsoft-provided) DLL.
If the CompanyName is not "Microsoft," Wine assumes the DLL is a custom library provided by the application developer (like a game engine component or a specific middleware) and will now automatically prefer it over the internal Wine version.
This eliminates the need for manual WINEDLLOVERRIDES for many games and apps that ship with their own modified versions of DLLs (commonly used with ASI Loader and BepInExPack). It’s a huge win for getting modded games to work out-of-the-box.
