Limo (Mod Manager) and Skyrim / Starfield : help

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. November 2025 - 11:32

Hi everyone, I'm using Bazzite and wanted to go back to some Bethesda games like Skyrim, Starfield and also the Fallout : London massive mod based on Fallout 4.

But today I'll let Fallout : London aside because I'm trying to use mods and especially Silverlock's Script Extender work for both Skyrim & Starfield (mainly Starfield first).

I have followed the extensive Limo tutorial and set my deployers accordingly (Install, Bin, Plugins). I have downloaded the latest SFSE (Starfield Script Extender) but unlike Skyrim's, there's only one mod installed in this case (probably because SFSE doesn't come with a Data folder). Anyway, I set SFSE in the Bin deployer, copy & paste the sfse_loader.exe to Starfield.exe as it is specified in the tutorial.

I install just a few mods that require SFSE to work, I set them in the Install deployer, lauch the game and... Nothing ! No mod loaded, not even the ones that doesn't require SFSE.

Then I click "Deploy" on both Bin & Install deployers. Silly me ! I start the game and... I have a dial box appearing saying "You have renamed sfse_loader and not specified the name of the runtime." And I don't know where I'm supposed to specify the name of the runtime at all.

If anyone has an idea ^

Looking to try another distro with a dedicated game mode similar to SteamOS, are CachyOS/Nobara/Bazzite my only choices or are there more?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. November 2025 - 09:58

I use my PC on my TV and I'm looking for a distro with a dedicated game mode. I've tried CachyOS, Nobara, and Bazzite and I'm wondering if there are any more.

I am using AMD.

Thanks in advance.

You can try my roguelike word game Lexispell on Steam!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. November 2025 - 09:12

Hey guys, if you like word games, you might enjoy Lexispell. It's a cozy roguelike word game with a physics twist. You spell words, pick upgrades and consumables and try to score enough points to progress to the next step.

I'm currently running a playtest on Steam and you can request access. If you really want to play, please send me a DM, I'll give you an override key so you don't have to wait to be selected.

I'm developing the game on Linux so I know it works well but I'd love to get more people to try it and give me feedback! It works well on the Steam deck too (touchscreen, mouse or gamepad).

here's the question: is it possible to play via an emulator with reasonable performance? has anyone tried that before?

EDIT: i meant virtual machine instead of emulator, mb

Issue with Launching Monster Hunter Wilds

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. November 2025 - 08:36

So I recently tried to launch Monster Hunter Wilds and I have had mixed results. When the game would first compile ingame shaders it would work perfectly fine. However trying to launch the game afterwards would result:

  1. The window would appear (black screen)

  2. Steam overlay displays

  3. The window attempts to resize to my monitor

  4. After a couple of seconds on the black screen (frozen) the game would crash

System Specs:

12th Gen i7

Rx 9070 xt

32 GB RAM

2 TB ssd

Distro: bazzite:stable Linux 6.17.7-ba19.fc43.x86_64

Launch Options: (tried with and without)

PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 %command%

Proton Version:

GE-Proton10-25

I messed around too much and I got hit with the Denuvo timeout of 24 hours. Anything I should try after 24 hours? (I plan to upload my proton logs when I can) Thank you.

Linux users won't admit to being sheep

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. November 2025 - 07:20

I don't think the comparison makes sense nor the person making the meme strike me as an intellectual person.

anyone experienced with elden ring modding here?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. November 2025 - 07:09

graceborne alpha 0.2 just released which requires the use of a .bat file to launch. without it, the game doesn't load sounds, music or enemy replacements properly among many other things. i've tried just adding the .bat file as a non steam game but it just opens the wine console menu and crashes. folks on steamos on the steam deck have informed me that it's working for them, but im on cachyos and am using elden proton which works for everything but this. i can't make issues on their github for some reason so im forced to ask for help here. anyone been able to get this working on distros other than steamos?

Trying to play music through my microphone(like Voicemeeter)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. November 2025 - 06:58

Hi guys, I am in the process of converting all my devices to Linux and totally daily driving it. Most of my games and apps have been replaced and are working on Linux. Well I now need to find an alternative to Voicemeeter. I need to be able to route my mic to different channels and put sound of my app through it(like Spotify or my Web Browser). I tried Pulsemeeter and Jackd. While they were alternatives to Voicemeeter, I had no success achieving what I wanted.

I want to know if this thing is possible on Linux? What are your software recommendations? Am I missing something?

Thanks for your help in advance, really happy to be in the freedom community.

Oh and also side note: I use arch btw(if that can be godd info to help me).

State of the religion of SteamOS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. November 2025 - 06:53

People really should stop seeing SteamOS as the Holy Grail of Linux Gaming. There will never be an official universal ISO for all devices, that should pretty much be clear by now. Valve wants certified devices like their own and devices like the Lenovo Legion Go S. Valve isn't a company with thousands of employees that could handle the maintenance of a project like that, optimizing SteamOS so it could fully run on any hardware without any issues.

If people really want good support, they should stick to Valve's recommendations. And if you really just want the experience, stick to Bazzite, choose CachyOS for more freedom or maybe just try something new and learn how to use Linux. You can get the entire SteamOS experience if you just choose any distro and look up how to do it, it is not that hard.

And a good life advice: If you want everything chewed up for you in your life, you will pretty much end bad.

Is there a way I can keep alive HDMI audio on linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. November 2025 - 06:35

My setup consists of a home theater receiver connected via HDMI to my GPU for 5.1 audio output. Under Windows it keeps the receiver from going into sleep/low power mode by, and I assume, sending a constant what I'll call null/silent audio stream to the device. Linux doesn't do this, which is fine, but is there any way I can replicate the behavior so I don't have a good 2-4 seconds of silence when I let audio lapse?

I've played around with doing this:

pw-cat --playback \ --target alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.hdmi-surround-extra1 \ --rate 48000 --channels 2 --format s16 \ --raw /dev/zero

but it doesn't seem to recover if other audio streams play over top of it and I'm not sure what the CPU hit is.

GPU in question is Nvidia if that matters.

Edit: OS is CachyOS but I can translate to pretty much any distro. Pipewire is the audio subsystem in use.

Is Windows really that bad or am I missing something?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. November 2025 - 05:57

Hello! Recently I've been seriously considering upgrading my CPU from AM4 to 5 because I wasn't getting the performance I wanted and I thought about dual booting while I was at it.

Before I even considered parts I decided I had an external hard drive so I wanted to try dual booting first just to try it out. I downloaded CachyOS and it took me a second to get everything started and I tried 2 games. RV There Yet? And ARC Raiders

My machine has a 5900X CPU and a 4070S GPU with 64GB of RAM

RV There Yet? On windows I was rapidly bouncing back between 40FPS and 70FPS and ARC Raiders was roughly 55-60FPS

Switching to CachyOS I was getting 110FPS on RV There Yet? And 120FPS on ARC. Is Windows really that bad that switching gave me double the FPS or am I missing something in windows? I did do a fresh install of windows roughly 6 months ago to try and improve performance and it didn't really help me much so I'm just more so astounded at Linux.
