I have been gaming on Linux for a couple of months now and it is growing on me. However using a g502 mouse the lack of proper binding tool is an issue.

I am using piper but more often than not the "rat" let me down midplaying and the key responsiveness becomes terrible to the point that I can press more that a couple of buttons at the time and the delays built up to a whole second.

Is there any fix or workaround?

P.s. I am on Ubuntu 24.04 and I won't be changing OS

I can´t get Heroes of the storm working optimal on PopOs.

I installed Battlenet as a non steam game. With the proton 10 beta Battlenet starts. However when i try to start Heroes of The storm I get a error:

I tried a couple of launch options like: gamemoderun PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1

The proton_use_Wined3d=1 worked but the game laggs alot and isnt playable online. The game run on this pc with windows pc on the highest settings.

GPU is a GTX 680. Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition runs butter smooth. The drivers are working correctly for the nvidia.

Hope someone can help me with this problem

I've been having trouble trying to play Halo MCC on Manjaro, keep getting this error when trying to sign in with my Microsoft account.

I did tried to delete the compatdata, switch to Proton 7, but doing that the game doesn't open, returning to any other most recent version of Proton lead to this same issue.

I played Halo MCC before on a laptop with POP!_OS and I never have this issue before.

Is there something else I need to do to play it? I switched to Manjaro just recently, so not sure if I am missing something important I need to do to make this work

Alright, I'm trying to help a pal because he's bad at english and linux support in our native language is kinda lacking. With that out of the way...

https://youtu.be/VPFH0H-AFzY?t=749
At the marked timestamp, this video shows a piece of paper fading in a very non-smooth way, almost like static. I personally KNOW this can be an effect done on purpose, but I don't believe that's the case for the following reasons:

1) I've seen this myself to varying degrees, but it never bothered me and it was never as explicit as it was in that animation
2) he claims to see it constantly in different games. Makes me wonder if it's a game engine thing, because...
3) He also claims it happened with a completely different GPU and OS in the past.

I BELIEVE his hardware is as follows (and if it isn't, it's very close to that because I know it's stronger than my rig in all aspects, even if not by much)
Ryzen 7 5700x
32GB of ram
Radeon 7700 XT
running up-to-date Cachy OS

As mentioned before, he saw similar stuff when he used an older Nvidia under Windows too, so it's probably not FSR, but that also seems to aggravate the issue. The games I remember having this issue are at LEAST Palworld and Lost Skies.

I just want any sort of pointer on what this thing is called, even if finding out how to fix it would be great so he can just enjoy the games. (We're both neurodivergent to some degree, maybe the granular effect is triggering something on him but not on me, so PLEASE don't joke about this, I'm seriously trying to help a friend)

Hi, English is not my first language. I’ve been trying to download some mods (Wicked Wims so I can see my people Mollie and Sandler make love, tragic endings mod (arson, kidnapping, beating to death) and egg laying mod for my satisfaction). Small problem: When I downloaded the mods, they went into fuck all folders. Wicked in the proton folder, tragic endings in the WINE folder, and eggs in the axon folder. I’m scared to even touch the WINE folder because I’ve had WINE running steady as an emulator for about 4 days and I’m not willing to risk that. I tried following the path someone suggested, but it required me inputing a bunch of numbers which brings me to another problem, my 4. When I press 4, it thinks I’m pressing 5. But when I press 5, it thinks I’m pressing 3, when I press 2 it thinks I’m ticking 7, when I press 9 it thinks I’m pressing 8. So numbers are a complete no-go I guess. Someone recommended to try ACK piggybacking my happy ass back to the kernel, but all it did was hack my data. I did a biometrics assessment, coupled with a countermeasure and a fragment overlap assessment, but I believe it hijacked my domain. I have been in the process of trying to get Kubuntu to run smoothly but my luck is running dry. I requested access to finger, but it asked for password authentication protocol but I ain’t got time for that!! It estimated a 7 hour turnaround, but I had some phishing to do. I think my computer is fucked. Not sure if I’m being watched from my webcam, sometimes my mouse moves without my hand touching it, only my arm. I’ve been analyzing my cookies and it’s only making things worse. I think I need a new computer. What do I do

How do I get the GOG version of Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition working through Heroic Launcher on Bazzite? Game won’t launch. Using latest Flatpak install. Any workarounds or tweaks needed?

As far as I'm aware, it should work, but it doesn't. When I press the 'Play' button in Steam, it turns blue for maybe a second, and then turns back to 'Play'. I have Steam Play enabled in the settings, so it's not that. I also tried launching OMORI separately, in Bottles. In that case, the game window appears, but it's entirely black and doesn't seem to be doing anything (for example I hear no music).

Btw, I'm on Fedora 42 (I pasted system info below), and I have NVidia drivers and Vulkan installed. Here I have the Steam log and the WINE log from Bottles.

This is the log from the Steam console:

If someone will help me solve this I will be extremely thankful; I've been wanting to play it for so long, and I haven't seen anyone on the internet having this same issue, weirdly enough. ProtonDB actually says that it works well on Linux, so this really startled me.

If you need more info, please tell me, and thanks in advance :D

Hello

I used linux before, I switched to windows for gaming. Now im back on linux using mint cinnamon.

I didn't have any issues with games about 2 months ago when I used it once but now I do? What could I be doing wrong? Mostly noticable in CS2. Everything else is still playable. went from getting 100 fps with high preset to low preset 60 fps.

Help!!!

Lost Ark apparently got for Linux one or two weeks ago and alot of people are able to play according to protondb.
But a few seconds after I enter character select I get a message saying that EAC is offline. I've tried proton-em, -ge and experimental but it's the same for all.

I've had the same problem Armored Core 6 (also EAC), where the multiplayer was working out of the box for others except me.

Does anyone have any idea what I'm missing here?

Tutorial focused on Bottles, but works with Heroic, Lutris..

📦 Step 1: Install the required Flatpaks

Install these from Flathub: bottles, protonplus, mangohud, flatseal

flatpak install flathub com.usebottles.bottles \ com.vysp3r.ProtonPlus \ org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud \ com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

🔐 Step 2: Configure Flatseal permissions for Bottles

Open Flatseal, select Bottles, and add the following folder access:

~/Games:ro or xdg-download → The download folder is often useful for installing small .exe files that you download, such as a Windows installer or dependency package...

xdg-config/MangoHud → to load your MangoHUD config

/mnt or /run/media → to access other drives

Optional but useful: allow access any custom paths you use.

🍷 Step 3: Install runners in Bottles

Go to Bottles → Preferences → Runners, and install:

Krone4k (great for compatibility)

Wine (Vanilla)

Wine-TKG

ProtonGE latest

🎮 Step 4: Create Bottles

You can:

Create one Bottle per game (recommended for beginners)

Or, if you’re experienced, group games by engine/store:

A Bottle for Unity Engine games

Another for GOG games

One for Epic Games

Each Bottle can have its own custom environment.

🧩 Step 5: Install dependencies (vcrun, dxvk, etc.)

modern games generally need: vcrun2015 vcrun2017 vcrun2019 vcrun2022 You can install them via Bottles' built-in dependency manager or manually downloading the .exe from the internet (MS website)

⚙️ Step 6: Useful ProtonGE/Wine environment variables

list of variables that I usually need:

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1

PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1

ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1

WAYLANDDRV_PRIMARY_MONITOR=DP-1 # check with gdctl show

DISPLAY= # need to be unset for WaylandDriver (":0" for Xwayland)

PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1

PROTON_USE_WOW64=1

MANGOHUD=1

WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1

WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_STRENGTH=2

(comment if you use other useful ones too)

🧪 Works with: Bottles, Lutris, Heroic

For me, Bottles is the easiest way to manage Wine versions via Flatpak, although other methods exist, you can also manually configure Lutris or Heroic Flatpak's to use the same prefix setup and environment variables, though this requires more manual setup.

✅ The best part: you don't need to modify your system, add .rpm repositories, or install anything outside the Flatpak sandbox. This helps maintain system stability and keeps your environment isolated.

If something breaks, just delete the Bottle (prefix) (enter bottles / menu / delete bottles) — usually found in:

~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles

Or wherever you've configured a custom directory for Bottles.

I've been using it like this for my YouTube channel(https://www.youtube.com/@linuxbenchmark9036) and it's been working well.

For 5-6 years I've been experimenting every couple of months with random Linux distributions on my PC to find a better workspace for school or play with a new UI that comes with less bloat. (Tried a manual arch setup, endeavor, Ubuntu, fedora) For the last few years I've settled on having Fedora on my laptop and settling for windows being fine enough for school and relatively necessary for gaming.

Recently though with the win10 support stuff I've seen a lot of people saying they were able to switch to Linux for a daily drive even with gaming, and with how much windows and Microsoft have been frustrating me lately it feels like it is time to try again. My question is what do people reccomend, how essential is it to go with something gaming centric like Nobara, Bazzite, Cathy, etc.

Up to a couple of days ago, the NVidia 575 Driver on my laptop (ASUS TUF A15 on FedoraOS newest version) ran perfectly for gaming. Yesterday after updates, I noticed a message from my nvidia system monitor app which checks gpu utilization and temps, that told me my drivers weren't installed. I ran the nvidia-smi command on my terminal to see that is true, my driver is no longer installed. Did a new update change any functionality with NVidia UNIX drivers? Or could this have been something else, and I just need to reinstall manually again? Maybe I just need to update the drivers? Let me know any ways i can find the reason why they were uninstalled, I'll also answer any other questions if i know how. Thank you for your help guys.

Specs:

Nvidia 4060 Laptop GPU

AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS

16 GB DDR5 RAM

Here's what my system monitor app and the terminal told me:

nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA
driver is installed and running.
