I installed Need For Speed: Most Wanted via Lutris, along with the following: * NFS-XtendedInput * WidescreenFix

For some reason, the "B" button is mapped to "A", and "X" is "B". Any idea how to fix that?

For some reason, I don't have that same problem in Underground 2 & Carbon

I want to play PC games on my TV with a controller. I don't like Steam as it's proprietary and requires Steam to be running at all times which consumes resources. Most of my games are non-steam games, and I'm afraid Steam might collect info about my games and report me, thinking I obtained them from "questionable" sources... 🏴‍☠️

I need a FOSS game launcher with controller support. It needs to be available on Linux and Windows since I dual boot Arch Linux and Windows 11. And it needs to be easy to use, and preferably auto-downloads artwork. I'm currently using Pegasus-FE, but having to manually download artwork and manually edit metadata.pegasus.txt is a pain, and I have to get up from my bed and go to my desk. Lutris finds game artwork for my non-steam games no problem, but it doesn't support controllers and it's not available on Windows.

Hey Linux users or gamers,

Can anyone recommend an open-world car game similar to Forza Horizon that runs well on low-end hardware? I'm looking for something with similar gameplay but lower graphics requirements. It should be compatible with Linux and able to run on the following specs:

• CPU: Intel i7-2720QM (8 cores) @ 3.30GHz
• GPU: Intel 2nd Generation Core Processor / NVIDIA NVS 4200M
• RAM: 4GB

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I've been pondering switching to linux. My machine is quite underpowered(rx 5600 xt and r5 3600. Do you think there is a performance hit on indie games like hades 2 and AAA ones like elden ring? These are my primary games. I've read that desktop environments can also slow things down and widgets too. Im a massive fan of a desktop clock widget and transparent taskbars, will that also take a hit?

Secret Maryo Chronicles is a game that I liked playing a lot in the past but now I can't play it because it is too old. No flatpak or AppImage for this game. Tux games are good but this game I liked more. I can play it on Windows but not on Linux without compiling which I don't want to. There should have been flatpak or AppImage of this game. Can someone create that? Or may be if it already exists then share it.

I am building a new PC and am trying to decide on the distro I want to use. Up until now I have used Ubuntu but have been wanting to look into other options. Debian with plasma was my first idea, but I have heard that debians slow updates are not great for new hardware (in my case the newest component is the rx 9070 xt). I also have considered arch but my primary worry is that something will break some day that i dont know how to fix. What distros would you recomend? Plasma and Gnome are my preffered DEs and I would like to avoid snaps.

NVIDIA noob here. I wanted to play GD on Waydroid but there are some graphical glitches like these (those stripes *are* supposed to be blurred) but I can't find a way to fix this...
(Ignore my terrible timing)

Arch LInux (freshly installed)
Ryzen 9 6900hx
RTX 3050

Thank you for your attention :D

Playing Overwatch from Steam and the game runs fine, but I noticed it is using A LOT of memory... Is this normal?

Resources app screenshot showing the Overwatch process using 13.17GB of memory

This was after one game played. When launching the game it takes 3GB and then steadily goes up, stopping around there.

I'm using Proton-GE 9.27 on a fresh EndeavourOS install, shader cache is disabled, game setting on low.

Here are my specs:

## Hardware Information: - **Hardware Model:** Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. B450M DS3H - **Memory:** 16.0 GiB - **Processor:** AMD Ryzen™ 7 3800XT × 16 - **Graphics:** AMD Radeon™ RX 5600 XT - **Disk Capacity:** 1.0 TB ## Software Information: - **Firmware Version:** F67g - **OS Name:** EndeavourOS - **OS Build:** rolling - **OS Type:** 64-bit - **GNOME Version:** 48 - **Windowing System:** Wayland - **Kernel Version:** Linux 6.14.4-arch1-1

Is this a bug? I tried to look it up, but didn't find anything.

I am using the LD_PRELOAD="" %command% to work around another issue but it doesn't seem related.

so i downloaded Oblivion Remastered and i am having trouble.

when i run it with almost any proton it gives me an error,

`DirectX 12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument.`

so now i naturally thought i should run it with -dx12 which as expected threw me same error.

in protondb it is rated as platinum which means it works.
they suggested many commands i tried them it didn't worked at all.

i use arch and i tried it both, in hyprland and in kde plasma cause i have some mouse issues with hyprland before.

what should i do now?

Getting the same FPS on low and ultra settings when playing DbD at both a low usage of GPU, CPU and RAM.

PewDiePie made a video on why he installed Linux and explained why everyone should do it too. Due to his number of followers, this might be some "Braveheart" kinda shit. Hooray?

Hello, I really want to switch to linux from windows, but I heard some tough stuff about gaming support, for example not all steam games run natively but if they don't steam uses proton, is proton any good ?, how much fps will I lose compared to windows ?, I also play overwatch at a high level and I didn't hear good things either. I play league of legends too but I am ready to never play that game again just to have linux on my system, thanks again.

After months of stress, frustration, sacrifice -

THE GURGLING is complete.

Soon, it arrives on Steam.

Prepare yourself for a descent into something unknown, nameless, and buried. A glance into the abyss few return from. It starts with a bizarre sound but soon devolves into a struggle for what is Real.

- Single player horror experience
-At least 4+ hours of content
-Distinct areas, each with their own challenges and dangers
-Problem-solving, item hunting, environmental dread

Navigate the darkness. Reconstruct what you can.
But don't lose your sense of self in the process.

Native Linux compatibility, primarily designed using Arch Linux

Tried running Horizon Forbidden West (Proton Experimental) on Fedora 42 KDE Plasma with on RTX 4060 Laptop with RPM Fusion Nvidia drivers. After enabling DLSS frame gen, the FPS went up as they should (from 60 to around 90-100 FPS as reported by Mangohud), but felt like it was running at 40-50 FPS.

When I try switching to FSR 3 frame gen, the FPS are about the same as with DLSS frame gen, but it feels considerably smoother. I should also mention that the DLSS issue doesn't happen on Windows.

Has anyone experienced anything similar?

these are my specifications:

Cpu: Intel Celeron N4020 1.1GHz dual core

Ram: 4GB DDR4

GPU/IGPU: Intel UHD Graphics 600

Storage: SSD 128GB (i don't know if its NVMe or Sata)

i run some games with a "decent" performance, minecraft bedrock/java is playable, but java has a LOT of stutters when loading new regions of the world, i also play ultrakill and it runs 60 fps almost every time. i'm thinking to change my OS to linux because of the discontinuation on windows 10 support, but with the experience i had, i refused to leave windows. the thing is, i used some Distros before: Manjaro, Linux Mint, Pop OS etc. but on every distro i used, i got the same issues that made me return to windows. My Wifi is always terrible on linux, every place i go to find help, no one gives me propper help, also, for some reason, i got bad fps on games too. ultrakill for example, on windows runs perfectly at 60 fps, but on linux i can't even reach 10, and minecraft, which should be running like butter, doesn't reach even 4 fps on 1.7.10 with optfine AND render distance on 2. i tried using both methods of installation from those distros, like using the Proprietary Drivers option, and then trying to install with Open Source drivers. both give me the same result, bad wifi, bad performance, even Xbox Cloud Gaming had issues when i tried to play something on it, like... the image didn't even appeared sometimes. i want help because this is the only laptop that i have and i can't get a new one, but the need to have some secure OS not only for privacy but for gaming is huge. is there any help which i can get to actually leave windows and use something else? some recommendation of distro for me to use or some way to fix those problems on the distros i already used? i heard that this can be problems with the installed drivers, but no one teach properly how do i even find the right driver, how to identify my device, and when someone try to help me (on discord for example), when i don't know to use a specific command, they get mad and stop helping me.

I have this weird input issue with Warframe on Steam Proton (tested all the latest versions as of writing) that, no matter what I do, I can't get rid of.

I am running a Garuda Linux install with Wayland, on the pre installed Steam client, and no commands on the game, just straight out the box Proton. Please note I just arrived at the Linux community and I'm still figuring things out, but I did my research and came out empty handed.

The game seems to read raw inputs from my mouse and keyboard and misinterpret them. For instance, I get raw KP_End, KP_Down, etc, when I bind the num pad to ingame actions even with num lock on (this part doesn't bother me since it still works fine), and I get a Mouse Button 4 and Mouse Button 5 when I scroll side to side (those are the forwards and backwards buttons on a modern mouse, and absolutely affect gameplay).

I like having Mouse Button 4 as a convenient swap weapon button, since it's an action that would be awkward to press and hold mid battle otherwise, and every time I press middle click, it accidentally triggers left or right scroll because the wheel on the G502 is a little loose on those buttons. Is this a known issue? Is there a fix? Will a macro work when I eventually figure out how to make one on Wayland?

I installed Skyrim Modpack Ro via Wabbajack: https://github.com/ThirdEyeSqueegee/Ro

Title explains my issue. Now this isn't an issue with the modpack. This is a common bug under linux/proton for this game.

Now I have found a supposed fix for this and that is installing xact audio library via protonticks into your steam prefix.

`env WINEPREFIX=~/home/ech0/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx winetricks
--force xact`

Then In steam command options: `WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" %command%`

This unfortunately doesn't resolve the issue for me.

Hello everybody, I started gaming on linux when I was on debian I didn't use an emulator like now (lutris) I used straight up wine and the performance was great. I moved on to linux mint and here is where the issues began, I installed lutris on it and installed the same game I played on debian and it ran fine until I reach a 3D area in the game and horrible stuttering began, the whole game is 2D except one 3D area when I enter it the game lags horribly, even tho it ran well without lutris, and I installed another game that was also very low on specs also lagged a lot.

These issues didn't happen except on lutris on just wine it worked fine.

And if it helps the game's name is sonic galactic demo 2 all 2D except one 3D area.

Thanks in advance.

Is this game built in the same RE engine as the RE2 and RE3? They both work well on my PC but for some reason RE4 Remake, started with screen flickering and Windowed despite it saying it is Fullscreen.

I tried it with Proton Experimental, 9.0-4 and GE-Proton9-26, and still the same issue.

I found an old post mentioning to press Alt+Enter and it did stop the screen flickering. but I can't change anything in "Options".

I can select anything else, like costumes, check DLC etc. But for some reason, nothing in "Options" can be changed.

Anyone else experienced this before?
