Even with the command to show progress on shaders compiling at the initial launch of the game, showing that it reaches 100%, I still get lags literally every 5 seconds or so, every corner I turn and every ability has a chance to result in a 3 second screen freeze because of a mini shader compile.

Isn't supposed to be over? Isn't this why I'm waiting 15 minutes in training range for all shaders to compile? Why do they keep randomly compiling for split moments in-game? It's unplayable, constant stutters because of "Compiling shaders..." despite EVERYTHING having already loaded ages ago.

Currently using GE-Proton9-27, with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU, the game runs mighty fine if not for the shaders compiling harassing me over and over for no apparent reason.

I'm currently using Linux Mint and so far every game I played on Windows works. Whether that's via steam (proton) or wine. My current challenge is trying to run Xbox game pass.

Tried running it via browser using Xbox cloud gaming but that service isn't available in my country.

Been searching forever for a solution but couldn't find any.

Any help would be great o7

I'm playing Oblivion Remastered right now and I wanted to mod this game. It's not a typical Bethesda game because it uses some combination of UE5 and Creation Engine. So you might think that the easiest way is to just replace files without any mod manager because they are not built for such hybrid games. Well on Linux you have Limo - Mod Manager.

It's such an amazing tool. I created deployers for different kind of mods. Classic esp mods(with LOOT sorting!), DLL mods, ini configs and UE5 Paks. If you are worried that you won't be able to easily mod games on Linux just spend 15 minutes learning how to use Limo. Best mod manager ever. The only thing it's lacking is virtual filesystem like MO2 has.

Did this happened to someone else? Can someone give me a hand please?

I tried Flatpak lutris, System lutris, Bottles, Heroic Games Launcher... and I can't make it work!

PD: I used battle.net in lutris before...

Recently I started to play Elite Dangerous Odyssey on Nobara Linux 42 (Proton experimental).

My first experiences are quite positive, the performance compared to my Windows 10 installation is only marginally worse. However, I have also paused for at least 1 year, so my impressions could also be quite subjective. For health reasons (I'll explain this to anyone who wants to hear it, but it's not very exciting and quite long), I can no longer play with a joystick and gamboard (G13) as before, but am more or less forced to use an Xbox controller. I'm currently in the initial phase of familiarizing myself with what feels like 150 different options transfering to fingermacros.

I'm approaching 70 and it's definitely a challenge, especially as I only started using xBox controller for playing my games about 6 month ago. Before it always was Joystick (sidewinder ff2) and gamboard (G13) for Elite, that was playing almost from the start: 13000 hours over 8 years.

Fortunately, I have a pretty decent one (that I can highly recommend: Easy SMX X10 with Hall sensors for around 50 euros!) and Frontier's default controller mapping is also very helpful, including the mapping popups provided via steamplay as a reminder. So far I've only reversed the pitch axes, because Starfield and NMS had changed my usual way of controlling a spaceship with the joystick. This way, I don't have to torture my brain with different spaceflight habits. The only somewhat awkward assignments are the double functions with the boost button (B). But I think I'll get used to that too.

All in all, and while I'm basically a veteran in theory – one who was thoroughly burned out after around 13,000 hours, which is probably understandable, even though there are Commanders who have far more hours under their belt – it now feels to me as if I'm a baby with its whole life ahead of it, but with the knowledge of a past life in the back of my mind. No idea if anyone can relate to that...

Anyway, I'm opening this thread for two reasons: Firstly, to give some encouragement to those who are undecided and considering completely ditching Windows, and of course, also to share experiences on how one can further tweak Odyssey on Linux here and there.

So currently I’m running a full windows 11 install, did consider dual booting but don’t like the idea of constantly changing just for a game. A lot of the games I play with my friends are all (that I know of at least) unplayable on Linux (including games like Fortnite, siege, valorant, gta, etc) so was wondering how other people go about playing these sorts of games while daily driving Linux or if you just have the patience to dual boot?

I've recently dusted off my old gaming PC that was high-end around 2017/2018. It has an Nvidia GTX 1060 and an Intel i7 (probably 7700), with 16GB of RAM. I'm not a big Windows fan, and Windows 11 would barely run on this PC, so I want to switch to linux.

A lot of people recommend SteamOS, but I'm concerned about that it may not work with older hardware. Most info I find on the web is outdated, or fake. Also there's a lot of confusion between the latest SteamOS version, older versions (which are supposedly more compatible) and the best version for Steam Deck.

Which OS would you recommend? I am familiar with linux, so using other OS won't be a problem for me.

Does it support legacy Nvidia drivers reliably?

I'm going to play only steam games like The Witcher 3, GTA 5, but if these big titles would be a problem, I'm still more interested in the smaller titles like Stardew Valley and Dave the Diver.

Hi,

Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit to ask but im just trying to get this working.

I wanna play GTA V ( idc if it's enchanced or legacy) and I bought GTA V via the rockstar website. I am running Ubuntu 22.04. I tried:

1. Lutris - Grand Theft Auto V
2. Lutris - Rockstar Launcher using Standalone-1.0.36.344 version

The Grand theft auto version doesn't install and gives me Lutris error 256 and the Rockstar Launcher version installs the launcher but after installing it, it doesnt launch and it gives a error about that there has been a error and it asks if I wanna send my report to the devs.

IF possible, it would be perfect if I could run FiveM, but that isnt needed for now.

Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 5600G
RAM: 32GB DDR4
SSD: 1TB Nvme M.2
GPU: Rx6600

Not sure if this belongs here, just wanted to share a little side project I've been working on called A3PT (ArmA 3 Preset Toolkit).

Basically, it's a few scripts I put together to help with some of the more fiddly bits of managing Arma servers and mod presets.

Some of the features include: Grab the mod list out of a preset file. (Windows and Linux) Merge two (or more) presets together. (Windows and Linux) And the newest addition, take a Steam Workshop Collection and turn it into a mod preset. (Linux only, will work on a windows port)

I've found it pretty handy for my own use, and figured some of you might too. If you're curious, you can take a peek at it on GitHub – always open to thoughts or anyone who might want to chip in.

Check it out here

Hi, I'm not a big gamer but I absolutely want to play Half-life: Alyx in the next couple of months. I plan on using a Meta Quest 3S for the VR, which means connecting to a decent GPU. I'd like to future proof things to an extent as well.

I'm at a loss what is sensible for my build and I'm trying to resist slamming down money for an overpriced GPU! My budget is ~$600, although I may need to bump my Gold 650W PSU too.

I assume NVidia is in a good place on linux now? Should I go with something with lots of VRAM (> 12GB?)?

This is my build - currently running on iGPU, which has served me well:

As you all know windows 10 support is ending on October 2025, and since i choosed which distro i'll be using as well now its time to mod my witcher 3, my favorite game after warframe, I know how to mod The Witcher 3 on windows but i have not a slighest idea about modding on linux. Will it work just by dragging mods into [Mods] folder or do i need something else? also script merger on windows will work as well? I know nothing, This is where you dear linux users come. Help me so i can overcome this and maybe others will read this post and learn it as well.
PS: I will be using Nobara Official

Note: i didn't install any proprietary nvdia drivers, im using the default came with the os ones, will switching to nvdia's help? if possible do attach a link to docs..is this okay - https://fedoramagazine.org/gaming-on-fedora/

If i play zenless zone zero without switching to any other app for like 10 mins i get a system wide freeze where nothing works(which is weird in it self how does a stable os reach this state 😭), i just see my game screen, and my mouse, no key combination got me out other than force shutdown by power button. its kind a weird it only ever reaches this state after the end of a battle (the end of battle screen)

Critical system crashs on most Steam games, some don't even start up.

journalctl tells me something about CPU: 7 failure.

Buuut...CPU as well as RAM had no trouble with their stresstests, both ended up doing more than 10 calculation cycles.

Drivers are up to date, GPU is brand spanking new (Sapphire Pure 9070XT) and is not causing any problems with whatever test I give it.

Also: Foundation (game) is the only thing that doesn't crash. Oblivion Remastered worked a day before and now doesn't even boot up, Steam play button goes blue and then green a few seconds later. All my other games boot up and then hard crash the system-

It doesn't seem to be a software issue and I am not sure whether it is the CPU or RAM. No single test was conclusive...I am a learning systems integrator who has been building PC for 20 years now, I am a little ashamed to ask.
