Counter-Strike 2 | Linux vs Windows 10 2021 LTSC FPS Test

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 4 hours 59 min ago

Specs:

  • GPU: 6600 XT
  • CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
  • Distro: CachyOS
  • Kernel: linux-cachyos-bmq

I repeated the test 2-3 times and always got close results, I get more FPS on Windows 10. How much FPS difference is there in your setup compared to Windows?

Woman told me Linux users conquer the world with “love”. I had to correct her.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 5 hours 10 min ago

Ma’am we are Linux users. We don’t conquer the world with “Love”. That assumes we “ask” a task to close. We don’t ask, we “kill” our tasks. We are gods, the mouse is in our hand with power to kill any task with one click - Unless we decide to outright write their process in the Death Terminal.

Nvidia BETA branch 580.65.06 Released!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 5 hours 27 min ago
  • Fixed a bug that could cause Vulkan applications to hang when destroying swapchains after a lost device event.
  • Fixed a bug that could allow atomic commit and other DRM operations to return success status despite having failed due to handling an interrupt: https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/issues/832
  • Fixed a bug that could cause GTK 4 applications to crash when using the Vulkan backend on Wayland.
  • Fixed a bug that could intermittently cause llama.cpp to crash on exit when using the Vulkan backend: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/issues/10528
  • Added support for the fifo-v1 Wayland protocol on Vulkan.
  • Updated GPU clock value reporting in nvidia-settings, NVML, and nvidia-smi to show clocks before thermal and idle slowdowns for better consistency with the equivalent functionality on Windows.
  • Fixed compatibility with Bigscreen Beyond Head Mounted Displays.
  • Fixed a bug that could result in a black screen when setting specific modes on HDMI displays.
  • Fixed a bug that caused blank or frozen screens under the following conditions: nvidia-drm is loaded with the modeset=1 and fbdev=1 parameters, using a Maxwell or Pascal series GPU, and more than one display device of differing resolutions are connected.
  • Fixed a bug that caused nvidia-suspend.service to fail when available system memory is low.
  • Enabled RMIntrLockingMode by default. This feature can help reduce stutter especially when using virtual reality. This feature was originally introduced in the r570 series. It can be disabled by loading nvidia.ko with the \NVreg_RegistryDwords=RMIntrLockingMode=0` kernel module parameter.`
  • Implemented another feature that can reduce time spent in the interrupt top half for low latency display interrupts by deferring the work until later. This feature is experimental and disabled by default. This feature can be enabled by loading nvidia.ko with the \NVreg_RegistryDwords=RmEnableAggressiveVblank=1` kernel module parameter.`
  • Fixed a bug that could cause blank rendering on some single-buffered GLX applications when running on Xwayland.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause a kernel use-after-free on pre-Turing GPUs.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL applications and compositors to stall when using NVIDIA as a PRIME Display Offload sink ("Reverse PRIME"), potentially resulting in a black screen.
  • Fixed a bug that led to increasing memory usage in X11 OpenGL and Vulkan applications after suspend/resume cycles.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause 32-bit x86 applications running on recent builds of glibc to crash on dlopen().

power-rules-daemon 1.0 has been released

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 6 hours 45 sec ago
Intro

I've coded this little rust daemon as replacement for cachyos game-performance (which doesn't support flatpak), and also for gamemode (which doesn't support flatpak either) entirely, when used along with ananicy-cpp

Elden ring detected? Let's go into performance mode!

How it works

We read a ~/.config/power-rules/config.toml like this example

[config] default_profile = "balanced" [[rule]] name = "eldenring.exe" profile = "performance" [[rule]] # As many rules as you want.

And automatically set the power profile while the game is running using powerprofilectl. Once the game is closed, we go back to the default power profile.

Dual Boot or Cloud Gaming?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 hours 14 min ago

I'm undecided on what to do, cuz I only need it for fortnite.

If I dualboot, I'm getting an external SSD for Windows, and it's free....

If I choose Cloud gaming I'm able to play anything without downloading and taking up space, but the Internet latency will sometimes lag it. 🤔🗿

The small things keeping me going back to windows.. And how you could probably help me get it working

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 hours 58 min ago

So I have been admining Linux for about 2 years now with daily desktop gaming and general ussage since january. But i have recently had to bite the sour apple and go back to windows.

And it likely works on Linux. I might just be looking at the wrong place. I want to use Linux because it feels like fresh air and KDE feels more at home than windows does now.

So here is my breakdown of what i changed and what caused me to crawl back to windows where "it just works but we suck your soul out"..

I got a VR Headset ( yay its dope ) but alot of the games i wanna play are games that kind of require modding to be great experiences ( Skyrim fallout 4 are examples).

I know it can be done, the issue is more so how.

So here is what i got setup and working as intended.

I grabbed ALVR and got that working getting a pretty nice 100mbit AV1 video feed that looked fine.

I played a good few hours of Half Life 2 VR ( because I wait for the autum sale that probably will put Alyx back down to 20 ) and it ran and felt perfectly fine 120fps all day.

Then I wanted to play Skyrim VR and I just could not for the life of me find out how to get Wabbajack or ModOrganiser 2 working inside the prefix. I tried scripts that seemed abandoned but some say was still working. I tried some of the manual install but i could never get it to the point of actually opening mod organiser 2 and being able to install mods.

So TLDR I am probably ass backwards and can't figgure out how to get Mod Organiser 2 working with.. Well lets just say any game for now.

Specs in case this matters.

Arch ( 6.15.x ) Nvidia GPU running 575.xx.5 ( i don't remember if its 64 or whatever the middle number is ) 32GB of ram CPU: 5800X

i hope some of you can give me a hand. Thank you for reading my ted talk?? :D

Can't launch my games in any distros installed

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 hours 20 min ago

So, first-time Linux user here for gaming. Here are the following things I tried
Distros used:
- Fedora
- Nobara
- Mint
For Fedora and Mint, I made sure to install the app that downloads the latest Proton version to download protonGE. I also made sure to check for any pending driver updates(they were up to date from the start) I installed Steam, and the first thing I did was detect my drives and then went to settings>Compatibility and set the version to the ProtonGE. Once I tried to launch the game, it showed as launching and closed without any error. This kept happening repeatedly for a lot of games, so my first thought was maybe Linux does not work with game files that were downloaded for Windows and are detected by Steam for Linux.

Things I also tried:
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the game.
- Forced compatibility in the game's property screen(in addition to setting the compatibility to ProtonGE in Steam settings).
- Reverted to vanilla proton version(one provided by steam)
- Installed both Lutris and Heroic for all third-party launchers.
None of the fix attempts I tried seems to work and help me launch any games.

Things I haven't tried:
- Installing Bazzite OS
- Praying to my PC to just work
- Giving up on Linux for gaming yet.

Here is the list of games that I tried launching didn't work:
- Death Stranding
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- Tom Clancy's Division 2
- High on Life
- Second Extinction(Delisted game)
- Lego Builder's journey
- Dave the diver
- Tiny glades
- Detective Dotson(the only game that managed to launch)
anyone know how to fix this?
