Hey folks,

I'm running Fedora 42 KDE (Plasma 6.4.3) with Wayland on a Ryzen 7 5700X3D and an AMD RX 7600 XT.
Everything was working fine until very recently — and then CS2 decided to break itself.

Until yesterday (28/07), CS2 ran just fine under Wayland with Steam Overlay working normally. I didn't change anything on my system or update Steam manually, but overnight, the Steam Overlay completely stopped showing up in CS2.
Overlay still works in other games like Brawlhalla, using the same Proton version (I tested Proton 8.0, Experimental, GE, etc). So it’s not a Proton-wide issue.

What I tried:

• Verified game files
• Checked Steam Overlay is enabled (globally + per-game)
• Switched video modes (fullscreen, windowed, borderless)
• Tried several Proton versions (8.0, Experimental, GE)
• Cleared shadercache and compatdata for app ID 730
• Waited for Vulkan shaders to finish compiling
• Tested gamemoderun %command%
• Clean boot under Wayland — no effect

I installed plasma-workspace-x11 and kwin-x11 to log into an X11 session and test if the overlay would come back.

Result: Yes, Steam Overlay works again in CS2 under X11
BUT CS2 completely broke ultrawide resolution support (my native resolution is 2560x1080 @ 21:9). Even with launch options like:

-w 2560 -h 1080 -aspectratio 21:9 -fullscreen

…the game refuses to render properly — it's either stretched or pillarboxed to 16:9, no matter the display mode.
So I uninstalled plasma-workspace-x11 and went back to Wayland, where the resolution is still broken

Anyone else with an ultrawide and CS2 running into this? Any idea what changed?
Would love to know if someone has a working setup with Steam Overlay + 21:9 resolution in CS2 under Wayland or X11.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I'm using EndeavourOs, completely updated, kernel 6.15.8, i3 12100F, RX 9060 XR 16Gb, 16Gb of RAM, sata SSD 500 GB.

I installed Steam and HGL as flatpaks. I then installed MangoHud 23.08 and 24.08 flatpaks, because the two apps required different versions of it.

I configured MangoHud to my likes with MangoJuice (flatpak).

What happens is that games launched through HGL (which uses 23.08) shows the gui with my modified conf, while games launched through steam shows the default appearance of MangoHud.

I executed the command: flatpak override --user --env=MANGOHUD=1 com.valvesoftware.Steam

As indicated in the MangoHud's readme.

I added mangohud %command% to the launch options of the steam games.

I added an env variable with FlatSeal to steam: MANGOHUD_CONFIGFILE="path/to/conf"

But nothing worked. I don't know what else to do... Can someone help me?

(Also, one friend of mine with cachyos is in the same situation, so I think it could be platform independent)

If you have been experiencing the well-known VRAM leak on D4, it's possible that the existing workaround of setting dxgi.maxDeviceMemory and dxgi.maxSharedMemory to the same value doesn't address the problem anymore.

After being annoyed by this, I started trying several workarounds, and after checking FenrisDebug.txt on D4 folder, I found why it's happening: if you set dxgi.maxDeviceMemory and dxgi.maxSharedMemory, what D4 thinks is: the total VRAM available is the sum of these two, which is not what you want.

The fix? Set dxgi.maxSharedMemory to a lower value, like 1024, that will make Diablo 4 behave correctly. Create a file with the following contents and put it in the D4 installation folder as dxvk.conf or put it anywhere and set the DXVK_CONFIG_FILE variable to point to it.

[Diablo IV.exe] dxgi.maxDeviceMemory = 8192 # or ~85% of your max memory dxgi.maxSharedMemory = 1024 # or 2048, you can play with this value

After that, you can play D4 at ultra with steady FPS (165 in my case, which is the max Hz on my monitor).

When i use my switch controllers (third party), the R button works for some apps (like mgba), but it's just not detected in other games. And for the mixed up buttons, for example, L is recognized as a Y

If I sound like I have no idea what Im talking about, it's because that's the case, literally my second day with linux lol, plz be nice. Mint btw.
Anyway, I wanted to see how Immortality will play, given that it's essentially all video, and it's bad. Menuing is smooth, interacting with the playback mechanic works but is choppy, but playing the videos as is results either in slideshows or at worst a still image that hangs around. Neither Steam's Proton nor GE gets around this.
This is apparently a codecs issue. Is there any chance that other comp tools that ProtonUp lists could maybe do something here? If not I guess Ill dig out an old laptop with windows and finish it there but still want to try. Especially as this game is deck verified and has a plat rating on protondb ;;

Even more game industry consolidation going on. Atari has entered into an agreement with Thunderful Group AB to acquire most of it.

Hey there,

I just installed Steam on Linux Mint (freshly installed as well) and I wanted to know how I can make my WiiU Pro controller work.

I have a Steam Deck, and I could pair the WiiU controller without any issue using the bluetooth menu of gaming mode and, to my knowledge, without installing something specifically for making the WiiU controller (or any controller) work.

I was under the impression the controller could be used on Linux based OS without any trouble since it was seemless on Steam Deck, but I end up having the same issue than with Windows where you need to put a pin to pair the controller.

Do I have to install a specific driver ?

Thanks.

Hello. I wanna buy game controller for my mint computer. I have bluetooth through USB thingy. Do all controlers work or should I look for a specific spec?

And do you think bluetooth or cable is better?
