Hello,

What the best way to run EA game, like Sims on linux.
I don't want to the the sims via steam, because all add on are bought on the EA account
I use the lutris install of the EA launcher. but it seems to break at every updates.

any new best way to do that ?
Thank you !

I haven't seen the issue since adding PROTON_LOG=1, however it seems to be pretty rare so that's not surprising.

Issue:

For some reason, while playing RuneScape: Dragonwilds using DX12 (Vulkan is apparently buggy in this game according to Protondb), every once in awhile my screen will just turn black - then off... But if I turn it back on with the physical on button, everything works again. This isn't a huge issue, however it is annoying - especially if I'm mid-combat...

Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions for a fix?

I used to play Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour on Windows, and I relied on:

• GenLauncher for mods
• Radmin VPN to play online with friends

Now I’ve switched to Linux and I’m trying to recreate the same experience.

If anyone has tried running Zero Hour (or any C&C games) on Linux, I’d really appreciate your advice
Any tips or tools would help!

hello, I've had a frustrating time trying to get BG3MM to work for me. I'm a Linux and computer noob so bear with me. i have Linux mint cinnamon, and BG3 is installed through heroic games and GOG. I'm able to open BG3MM and add my mods but it wont let me export them to the game. it's also saying the script extender isn't installed when it definitely is, and that BG3MM is running as an administrator. i think i have the preferences set correctly:

Game Data Path: /home/user/Games/Heroic/Baldurs Gate 3/Data

Game Executable Path: /home/user/Games/Heroic/Baldurs Gate 3/bin/bg3.exe

Override App Data Path: /home/user/Games/Heroic/Baldurs Gate 3/Data

I've been scouring the internet and this is what i have on heroic games:

Wine Version: GE-Proton-Latest

WinePrefix Folder: /home/user/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Baldurs Gate 3

under advanced, i also have:

Select an alternative exe to run: /home/user/Games/Heroic/Baldurs Gate 3/bin/bg3.exe

Environment Variables: Variable Name WINEDLLOVERRIDES and Value "DWrite.dll=n,b" PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%

when i launch it through heroic, it doesn't even say the script extender is active, even though the file is right there in the bin folder. when i launch through BG3MM, it gives a notice that "Your load order is likely being reset..." and also doesn't load my Larian account info, unlike when i launch from heroic. pls help and pls explain any fixes you have to me like I'm an idiot!!

I would like to distrohop and part of any installation for me is proper fan control. Is there specific files i can just copy paste into a new installation to set up coolercontrol? in the /etc/coolercontrol is a modes.json file but it only contains the modes name and some IDs. So it looks like there are no fan curves saved there

I would like to ask for directions about a problem i'm currently having with some steam games. I've recently migrated from Windows and it has been a good experience so far with linux. Although, some games on steam (War Thunder, Dead by daylight) produce a visual glitch when i move my camera horizontally (grainy aspect, blurred image) even after many tweaks on graphics settings.

None of the recent posts I've read about gaming issues on Linux matched this description, and I'm posting this in the hope of finding someone who has experienced something at least similar—and who might tell me whether there's a solution or if it's simply unsolvable.

Note: I'm currently using the NVIDIA 570 open driver on Ubuntu, which is the one that works best for most things (at least for me). I know NVIDIA drivers are a pain on Linux, and honestly, I'm not sure if this issue is caused by Proton—since it's emulating rather than running natively—or by the driver itself.

My spec:
Ryzen 7 5600G
RTX 5070
Gygabyte B450M Aorus
32G 3200MHz ddr4 RAM

Minecraft runs on windows 10, but idk the reason for linux. Only have tried to update drivers.

I'm new to linux side.

[I tried to post in r/pathofexile but for some reasons my post gets deleted by filters, hopefully here it will work]

My setup: RX 7900 GRE, AMD Ryzen 7600, 32 GB Ram DDR5.

I think I should be running Poe flawlessly at ultra settings, and yet in Deli+Beyond juiced maps my FPS plummet to 4-5 FPS which makes it pretty unplayable. Reducing resolution, setting Vulkan to Ultra Performance, doesn't change anything.

I have the feeling that it's more a CPU bound issue than a GPU issue, but it's just a feeling. I am on Linux Mint, and use GE Proton 10-32 (via Lutris).

Any other PoE players can share their experience and possible fixes?

Planetary Annihilation: TITANS has returned with a new community team working on updates, and they need Linux user help to get it fixed up.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

Ran Cachy Update this morning, updating nvidia drivers and few other packages, and now I can't run Stalker Anomaly with the GAMMA mod anymore.

I run it through Bottles, and it worked yesterday. Checking the terminal during startup I get this:

0024:err:vulkan:wine_vkCreateInstance Failed to create instance, res=-9 err: DxvkInstance::createInstance: Failed to create Vulkan instance
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'dxvk::DxvkError

I tried different Proton Runners, different DXVK versions and obviously a reboot, but the issue persists.

Anyone seen this before and know a fix? Or should I simply wait for the next update?

I've been on Bazzite for a couple of months and am losing patience with my own ignorance. I tried playing Doom 3 BFG yesterday, but that thing is rough. The port was sloppy to begin with, and the years really show at this point. I also want to return to Fallout, but without mods, I'm not going to enjoy the game, either.

I don't remember modding under Windows being any particular challenge. ModDB and Nexus Mods were both invaluable.

When I look at mods now, I cannot understand anything I'm reading. Modding under Linux is supposed to work, but it appears that I need to first become a systems engineer if I want more than what Steam can provide.

I'm not asking anyone to teach me all I need in a single Reddit post when I legitimately need hand holding, step by step instruction.

Who can explain modding Steam games for new Linux users?
