Swapping to Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. August 2025 - 11:07

I’m moving to Linux from windows and I’m stuck between popos and nobara. I’ve used Linux in school but never as my main os so I’m not a total noob. Any suggestions? I’m also open to other destro. Just with the research I’ve done for gaming on Linux those 2 popped up the most.

Installing battle.net launcher through lutris

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. August 2025 - 10:02

Im trying to install the battlenet launcher through Lutris, on Linux Mint. https://lutris.net/games/battlenet/

starts and gets to a certain point (typically showing as 60-90% completed in the battlenet launcher) where the program stops. Here is the log.

output->count == signaled_count' failed. Started initial process 5595 from /home/user/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/wine-ge-8-26-x86_64/bin/wine /home/user/.cache/lutris/installer/battlenet/setup/Battle.net-Setup.exe Start monitoring process. fsync: up and running. wine: RLIMIT_NICE is <= 20, unable to use setpriority safely wineserver: ../server/sock.c:1154: complete_async_poll: Assertion output->count == signaled_count' failed. wine client error:1f8: write: Bad file descriptor

in lutris I have made sure to set wine to version wine-10.8-staging-tkg-ntsync (x86_64) in runner options but when installing battlenet (see above) it still shows as using the default wine-ge-8-26. Is this the problem? Seems like strange behaviour.

Forza Horizon 4 Freezing issue.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. August 2025 - 08:12

This game freezes frequently. I think it's a proton issue. Because it freezes differently when using different protons. That is, I experienced a lot of freeze issues when using
proton 10.0-2 beta,
GE proton 10-12, GE,
Cachyos proton 10.

But when using
GE proton 8-1,
Proton 8,
proton 9,
cachyos proton 9,
proton experimental..
it freezes only at certain intervals.

When using proton 6.3-8, it crashed before launching.And proton 7.0-6 was able to run with a small freeze like proton 8, but later it crashed like proton 6.
I've heard on the internet that many people are having issues with this game, but most of them are crash issues.
What is the solution for this? Which proton is better for this game? Is this happening for some other reason?

Device-ROG Ally Z1E.
OS-Cachyos Handheld Edition.
Game-Forza Horizon 4 Steam version.
(I deleted the Targetedhardware.dll file because the hardware requirement warning message appears when the game launches).

Wolfenstein crashes when minimizing

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. August 2025 - 04:28

Whenever I minimize Wolfenstein The Old Blood, it(Wine-64) always crashes as soon as I click on the icon or Alt+Tab back in. The only other game I play right now is CS2 so i am not sure yet if this is a more common problem.

Baldur's Gate 3 suddenly horribly laggy

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. August 2025 - 04:14

I don't know what happened, but I went to boot up BG3 today and the lag was insane. 24 FPS on the title screen with all the models being low quality. The UI won't even load in. It was working fine a week ago when I last played. I'm running over Proton.

System Info:

Pop_OS! 22.04

AMD Ryzen 7 5700G
Radeon RX 6800 XT

750W power supply

The game refuses to open when I set the proton log variable, but regardless I appreciate all the help I can get.

Cant use FSR frame gen on The Finals

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. August 2025 - 03:25

They just added FSR 3 Frame Generation support, but the option isn’t showing up for me. I’m on an RTX 3060 laptop GPU and already tried a bunch of different launch options with no luck. Anyone else run into this?
