Halo MCC on Older Hardware

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 06. März 2025 - 21:38

Hi I just moved full time to Linux on my production machine and wanted to play some Halo Combat Evolved on Steam. This worked fine on Windows with my current hardware but on Linux the game hitches when there starts to have action on the screen. Any pointers on specific configurations I should be making? From what I've seen, with my graphics card, I'm probably stuck at Proton 7. Any help would be appreciated. Here is my hardware:

  • ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. MAXIMUS V GENE
  • 16.0 GB RAM
  • Intel® Core™ i7-3770K
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti
  • 1TB SSD
  • Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
  • X11
  • Linux 6.11.0-19-generic

Heroic launcher is almost perfect.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 06. März 2025 - 21:16

Got the controller working and played arkham origins for a couple hours, game also works offline. Heroic launcher won't load games when launched without internet connection though. If the launcher installed the offline files for GOG like lutris does and allowed you to access the library offline it'd be perfect. Unlike lutris I can also choose between platforms whereas lutris only downloads the windows version even if there's a native linux one. I like the optional shortcuts for the menu but that's not a deal breaker for me.

Anyone got ShootersPool running on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 06. März 2025 - 21:04

I have tried running it with Heroic but it gives me the following error:

(01:02:14) WARNING: [Backend]: refresh not implemented on Sideload Library Manager

Haven't tested with anything else so any help is appreciated!
I'm running this on Arch and not the flatpak version.

I also tested with the Wine option they provide in Heroic and the Proton one as well same results.

Razer Naga Trinity Mouse Remapping Keys using InputRemapper

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 06. März 2025 - 20:45

https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper

For some reason with this program, the "Change Key" does not register my Trinity Mouse buttons 1-12, it only works with the middle scroll and right/left click

Is there a trick to fix this?

gamescope not found after installing using flatpak

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 06. März 2025 - 19:02

I am new to linux and I am using mint cinnamon 22.1. I am trying to install gamescope to work with the flatpak version of Steam yet no matter how I try to install it, it never seems to work. I can't find a single post having my issue so I assume I am just doing something silly and missing a step.

I do flatpak install gamescope and have tried all the different versions. but when I try gamescope --version it just says gamescope is not found, and if I try to launch a steam game using gamescope as a launch parameter it says gamescope: command not found.

I'd assume it is installed, but it isn't added as a path variable? I tried doing file/path/etc/gamescope --version with various file paths but couldn't get it to work.

I would love some help with this, I was going to ask in linux4noobs but I figure because its more of a gaming question its better suited here.

Split Fiction with HDR & VRR

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 06. März 2025 - 18:56

Greetings,

I saw that split fiction has HDR support listed under Settings - Graphics. Then I take the oppotunity and ran Split Fiction under gamescope with HDR enabled.

the command for steam "launch option" is:

gamescope -W 3840 -H 2160 --hdr-enabled --fullscreen --adaptive-sync --mangoapp -- env DXVK_HDR=1 %command%

My setup on this:

  • 4K HDR VRR monitor PG27UCDM
  • AMD Radeon 7900XTX
  • Arch Linux (up to date) linuz-zen 6.13.5-zen1-1-zen
  • KDE plasma v6.3.2
  • gamescope v3.16.1
  • in-game graphics options basically maxed out w/ FSR native AA

My result is that in the main menu the game is running around 90 FPS.

Please share your experience and setup with HDR VRR gaming on Linux, and correct me if there's anything wrong, thank you!

How to tdp limit powercolor 6900 xtxh card?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 06. März 2025 - 17:36

Hi,

My uncle is upgrading in the next few days to a new 9070xt. And as a bonus I get his old powercolor 9600xtxh 16GB as a hand me down. Now he strongly recommends me to threshold the tdp. In Windows he/I know how to do that, but it's a different story for me under Linux.

Currently using: openSUSE TW X470 Aorus board Ryzen 5 Rx 5700xt Mesa drivers

I would like some pointers to how to achieve that.

Overwatch 2 - Stuttering with input after several games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 06. März 2025 - 17:22

I've been playing ow2 on linux for what seems like forever issue free (before it moved to steam). Some months ago it started becoming unreliable. Eventually maybe 3-4 games in I would get insane constant stuttering. I basically just reboot into windows and I play as long as I like.

Behaviour I see:
If I don't move the mouse or press a key then stuttering stops. The moment I add input it will start stuttering again instantly.
I can even replicate this behaviour in a kill cam.
- So if I die and just watch it (screen moves around new things pop in to render) then I get smooth constant frames.
- If I die and I mouse the mouse at all in the kill cam (note my mouse movements do nothing to affect the view as it's first person to the other person moving) I get the same massive stuttering.

I've noted a few people also seem to have issues on protondb. I can't seem to find any reference to a bug existing anywhere. I'd like to follow it.
