Hi all. As I'm sure you know, you need to patch some older games to make them use 4Gb of RAM. So I wanted to ask if anyone here knows how to get this thing to work on linux:

https://ntcore.com/4gb-patch/

It's a common and well known 4Gb patcher. Perhaps there is a different one people use for Linux? Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

So after years of tinkering with Linux, no gaming. I decided it was to take the plunge and go full Linux. Owning a steam deck and made all of the games i played to work i thought this would be a breeze. Windows had given me my last error.

Or so i thought. Installed pop_os, did all updates. Installed steam, installed proton, ge proton.

Installed horizon Zero Dawn, had seen some very good performance for that game in Linux.

Didnt start, one of the proton versions it chugged for some time on Vulcan shaders, but never started.

Tried several different versions of proton. No luck. So what I'm I missing here?

Have looked for a real -here is what you need for gaming on Linux-thread. But there is a lot of them, and they are all different.

Oh you need lutris, you dont need lutris, You need this. You should keep away from that. I feel really stupid here.

I know Fortnite (the only game my son plays) is a no go, for now. Anti cheat might come.

So is there a good "here is how to do it, test it, try this and this" guide out there.

Protontrix? Lutris? GE-proton?

AMD 5600 Nvidia 3050 (yeah I know) 32gb of ram.

Why is it so easy on the steam deck, but not here 😂😂

3. does crack sites has linux support ? (fitgirl, steamrip, etc)
4. what is the best distro for gaming/programming
5. does linux have good multi-monitor support? (i have 1 monitor connected to my laptop)

Problems I Had Before switching to linux

i tried before switching to multiple distros
like fedora, linux mint, NixOS

but my laptop IGPU has some issues even in windows sometimes the drivers break

and i need to restart it multiple times to get fixed, when it was broken the screen was zoomed in and the app icons was very large

Here are the results to every OS

Linux Mint Fedora NixOS IGPU didn't seem to find any problems in the graphic drivers this time, but when restarting Linux Mint it didn't boot and i needed to try multiple times for it to load loaded, drivers was looking good at the walkthrough, but after installing it the drivers (like windows) didn't work, and every thing got weird just like when windows drivers get faulty, and chrome is blue for some reason? didn't load, stuck on the grub loader ( i think that is what it called ) Expereince felt alot like windows, but less animated, overall it was pretty ok i also like the customizeabillity that it offers didn't try it, drivers got wacked didn't load

after all of that i tried re-installing windows, but it stuck on second step installing, so i got to the store i bought it from, and he re-installed it for me

So I have just moved over to Ubuntu a week ago so I am very new to it. I have been able to select my mic and use it on minecraft with the simple voicechat mod, discord, audacity, and OBS. I was able to find my headset in the mic select but it shows up as "HyperX Cloud Stinger Core Wireless + 7.1(HyperX Cloud Stinger Core Wireless + 7.1)." Usually it says "HyperX Cloud Stinger Core Wireless + 7.1 Mono" on anything else.

Idk if it's necessary to mention this but every time I select PulseAudio in the mic select, the game freezes for about 15-20 seconds.

I am using a wireless Hyper X headset that connects to my computer by a usb. I am running R.E.P.O. with Proton 9.0-4. Please ask me for more specifications if needed. Any help would be appreciated

Hi! I wanted to play a Unity game that I downloaded recently from the internet, but I'm having trouble getting it to run. I've tried using Lutris, Bottles, and even Steam to run it through Proton, but no matter what I try I can't get the .exe file to run, and I'm not given any error messages or anything. The game isn't availible on any platforms or anything, either.

Anyone got anything I should try? Thanks!

I had been playing Genshin Impact using Bottles for months with no issue, but it looks like a recent update broke something. There are multiple threads on this issue and I've gone through a bunch of them, and some people report success, but their instructions are not clear enough for me. Some people say to use this runner or that runner without saying which program they're using (Bottles, Lutris, Heroic, AAGL, NonSteamGameLauncher) or when I go to get the runner from ProtonUp-Qt they one they say works isn't one of the available options. Some threads say to temporarily disable internet connection while launching, but that doesn't work for me either.

Would any kind soul be willing to provide step-by-step instructions on how to get Genshin Impact running on Linux? I'm currently using Arch but I am literally willing to distrohop again if it means I can solve this one issue.

Testing out CachyOS for the first time with Monster Hunter Wilds

I've got a 9070xt and 9800x3D with 32gb of ram, running on an SSD

My grass quality refuses to change no matter what I do and I've got this weird black line as I rotate the camera.

I've tried using the direct storage fix on the benchmark (Denuvo locked me out while I was trying different protons on the actual game) and running on GE, Hotfix, Bleeding Edge, and the native one that comes with CachyOS, all of which still keeps the grass fucked. I've tried with and without FSR3 and Frame Gen with the same results.

As the title says, I'm looking for drivers for this card. I would like to use it to deliver console footage to my screen for streams, but am unable to find anything that helps aside from this link:

https://github.com/stoth68000/sc0710

I believe it is incomplete and not able to be used for what I would like. Can anyone offer any insight as to how I can use this card on Linux Mint?

So I use Prism launcher from flathub for all my Minecraft needs. But I thought about trying labymod and saw I could use it on prism without installing a whole new client. Shown Here It installed a Jar file, and to use it I needed to select MultiMMC in the installer and select the executable. But I can't find the flatpack executable. I've searched every flatpack directory I could think of in the Local and var folders. I can only find data folders. Any ideas? I use fedora 42 KDE if that helps.

Both nvme on the laptops, I have 4 drives 2,nvme,2sdd in my desktop can I just leave 2 of them alone as storage drives. I will convert them to ext4 after I get all my music,pics, and docs off. they arr formatted ntsf. If that makes sense. Steam is a game changer for linux convinced me to pull windows off everything even if the initial set-up can be a pia

I'm trying to play Silent Hill 4 using the Heroic Games Launcher. But it just never starts. I switched from some older "Wine GE" in the wine manager tab, to the latest "GE Proton". No effect.

I have fixed a similar problem before by using the "beta" version of proton, but I can't remember if that was in Steam or maybe Lutris. But there's no option to do that here.

So I was hoping someone knew how to produce a log that shows why the game failed to launch. You press the play button, it tries for a minute and fails. Then you can press the play button again.

Anyone else have these kinds of problems with the Heroic Games Launcher?

As you can see on the video - here is for example Cyberpunk 2077 running on my ASUS G14 laptop with GTX 1650 Ti and Bazzite installed. I have notice the same behaviour in other games too: Elden Ring, Metro Exodus. They all are running quite well (Elden ~45fps, Cyberpunk ~35 fps, Metro Exodus ~60fps) but have this huge stutter that always last the same amount of time and repeat every few minutes. The only exception from games I have tested is Sekiro. There wasn't any noticeable stutter.

However the biggest mistery to me is something different. When I was playing on Windows Cyberpunk 2077 didn't have that problem. Then after switch to Bazzite stutters begins. BUT after running Cyberpunk again from Windows, stutters were also noticeable there!

Did I damage my laptop or something? Please Help! What am I missing here?
