I tried using lutris, hgl and bottles, but it does not work well or at all. The only solution was to install EA Desktop on steam as a game and use it there, but next time I tried to run it, it was stuck at verifying files. So do anyone know, how to run any EA Desktop game on Linux (especially Arch Linux)

It is with great sadness, because more than a few nerds will be glad this is happening, and I understand them, that I have to communicate the following to you today:

Running Genshin Impact on Linux, SteamOS or Steam Deck is now considered dangerous for your account.

Especially if you're playing your main. EU players are reporting bans ranging from 10 days to 50 years en masse, "just" because they're running the game on Linux. Bare WINE, futzed-around Proton builds, Proton GE, bare Proton, even with the hint that there IS something about Steam variants in the binaries, running the game on Linux will put your account at risk.

We recommend the following:

• Only play PC on Windows at this point, until communicated otherwise
• Play on PS5 and Xbox if consoles are accessible (PS4 is being dropped)
• Play on Mobile if you're an M
• Play Wuthering Waves since Kuro is doing the opposite and trying to support SteamOS and Steam Deck even with the most dumb spaghetti code of an anticheat there is

That is all. I hope the Genshin haters are happy.

so where are we now and how can I enable it in my system ?

My specs and other info:

------------------------------------

Fedora Linux (fully updated and newest version)

KDE

Wayland

Steam (flatpak)

Proton-GE 10-10

9800X3D

9070XT

HDR1000 screen connected through DisplayPort 2,1

----------------------------------------

All I get is the Valve screen for a few seconds then it all goes black and my memory usage is at max (8gb) and I can't even move my mouse. I added -novid to the launcher but it still doesn't work.

Does anyone know where "WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY" come from ?

That variable doesn't appear in winehq wiki https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Man-Pages/wine nor in Proton git page https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton

Websearch isn't giving much result either :-/

Hello,

i had been eyeing linux for a while. Having to replace my corsair MP600 (lasted less than a year), i decided to install linux for the first time, cachyos.

I am a big player of modded game, (see examples pictures).

However, i am hit by something. How do i make the mods managers i use, function on linux?

What is the methodology that you use to diagnostic and make them functionals?

For example, https://github.com/Shazbot/WH3-Mod-Manager .

So, I bought my first gaming laptop; a Lenovo Legion Pro 5 (10th gen) with an Nvidia RTX 5060 about a month ago, and I’m loving it so far. I’ve played a few games on it, and they ran as I expected them to. But I’ve always been a Linux user.

Before this laptop, I was using Arch on an old laptop with limited performance, and I also intend to use Arch or any Arch-based distro on my current laptop.
The problem is, as you can expect, even though I’ve been using Linux for about 5 years now, this is my first time using it for gaming. I’m a Wayland KDE user, and I don’t think I’ll be switching to X11 even if it’s better for gaming, since Wayland is the future.

I’ve heard before about Nvidia’s lack of support for graphics drivers on Linux, but it seems that has changed somewhat in recent years. I just want to know if there are any Linux laptop gamers out there who are playing just fine with their devices, and if Nvidia has started supporting drivers for mobile GPUs yet.

FYI, if it’s important: I mostly play third-person offline RPGs like GOW, Horizon, RDR2, GTA5, or RTS games like SC2, Civ, etc. I also have some non-Steam games from GOG and Epic that I bought many years ago and might replay. While I definitely want to game, I’m also using this laptop to study.

I've seen people asking about FSR4 multiple times recently and I was curious myself whether it's easy to set it up now on Linux. Turns out it's relatively easy, so here's a little guide. It will probably work with all RDNA4 cards, but I only tested with 9070 XT.

It's for Arch since that's what I run, should probably work fine for derivatives. If you use a different distro, you need to figure out how to get mesa >= 25.2.

1. Get mesa 25.2. It's currently in testing repo, but I just downloaded mesa and vulkan-radeon from https://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/archlinux/extra-testing/os/x86_64/ and installed them with pacman -U.

2. Get GE-Proton10-10 using protonplus and change Steam to use it by default (or enable it for a specific game later if you don't want a global setup).

3. Create a file /etc/profile.d/fsr4.sh with contents export PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 so you don't have to enable it for every game in Steam.

4. Restart or re-log so the new env variable from (3) is visible.

5. Get newest OptiScaler from https://github.com/optiscaler/OptiScaler/releases (OptiScaler_v0.7.7-pre13_20250731.7z at the time of writing), unpack it to a directory. You can remove !! EXTRACT ALL FILES TO GAME FOLDER !! file if you want.

6. If you want to use in-game frame generation:

   • Get newest fakenvapi from https://github.com/optiscaler/fakenvapi/releases (fakenvapi-v1.3.4.7z at the time of writing) unpack it and copy both fakenvapi.ini and nvapi64.dll to the OptiScaler directory.
   • Get latest Nukem's dlssg-to-fsr3 from https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/738?tab=files (0.130 at the time of writing, regular version, NOT tweaks/universal), unpack it and copy ONLY dlssg_to_fsr3_amd_is_better.dll to the OptiScaler directory.
   • Open OptiScaler.ini and change FGType to nukems.

To install OptiScaler for a specific game, you need to copy its files to an appropriate directory in game files, run setup_linux.sh script and choose appropriate options (which usually amounts to choosing default ones by pressing Enter 3 times).

I'll use Hogwart's Legacy as an example.

1. Right-click on the game in Steam, choose Properties, then Installed files and Browse.

2. Go to Phoenix/Binaries/Win64 directory and copy all files from the OptiScaler directory there. Override existing files with OptiScaler ones.

3. Run terminal emulator, go to the <game_location>/Phoenix/Binaries/Win64 directory and run setup_linux.sh script. Choose default options.

4. Setup should be complete now. Run the game and go into display settings. DLSS scaling option should be active now, enable it. Enable frame generation if you want.

5. Press Insert, this will open OptiScaler UI. In the Upscalers section, choose FSR 3.X/4 and press Change Upscaler. It should start using FSR4 automatically. Press Save INI to save the configuration and exit UI.

That should be it. I'm attaching screenshots from a few games in Steam I run with OptiScaler/FSR4 on Linux.

Hopefully the guide helps :)

PS. If you're curious how it all works, see https://github.com/optiscaler/OptiScaler?tab=readme-ov-file#readme.

Hey everyone,

i just wanted to know if anyone got the Proteh mod to run on Linux, and if so, how?
Mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/doomthedarkages/mods/33?tab=description
Modloader description: https://github.com/FlavorfulGecko5/EntityAtlan/releases/tag/ModLoader

Basically the only thing I can't do on Linux is launch the AtlanModLoader.exe after putting the proteh-mod ZIP into the mods folder.

Using Proton Experimental
Arch Linux
CPU: AMD 5700x3d
GPU: 7800XT
Arch Repo Mesa Drivers
KDE
Thanks in advance

(tested on endeavourOS and CachyOS) Nightrein with HDR was running nicely on my system just 2 weeks ago . I ran a full system update today and now it always crashes after showing the EAC splash screen .

Just running in Proton works, but gamescope is required for proper HDR

I think the issue is somewhere with gamescope, even just passing gamescope -w 3840 -w 2160 -w -- %command% causes it to crash.

Running gamescope in terminal seems to work

Downgrading gamescope to anything lower than current main causes a vkAllocateDescriptorSets error

Stable and git versions of mesa didn't change anything.

At this point I have no idea anymore, any help would be appreciated

I am currently on Kunbuntu on a 2nd PC (with snaps disabled). I switched from Mint because i run two monitors one wide screen 3440x1440 and one 4k. After an hour of use i would get these small hiccups. So i switched to kubuntu and they are gone.

My gaming machine is still running windows but eventually when i get a better idea of what i am doing i would like to put Bazzite on my gaming machine because of the obvious gaming tweaks and focus.

Correct me if i am wrong but If i knew i was going to play games, am i right in the assumption that using bazzite would be better even if i only gamed once a week due to there being no downsides of having those gaming focused things even if i dont use them?

what i am asking is, even if i was going to game once a month, Why bother with Fedora?

Ever since gta 5 gave the boot to all the linux users its surprised me that noone has really made a decent modded linux launcher for unofficial servers yet. The closest i could personally find that did work at one point was Alt:V but the only person who worked on linux builds left and so did other subsequent coding helpers. Whats shocking to me is that with such a big player base that noone has really made a solution, albiet not a real work around the ban but something at all to mitigate the punch that we got nearly a year ago

Hi there guys,

Im a big fan of rewasd on windows, its the one piece of software i've never regretted paid for.

Sadly, on linux it seems input remapping is still in its infancy. Where there might be several tools that do it, none of them have a good GUI in place.

Which one do you use and why? Ideally i need something quite advanced : per application support, supports mouse remapping and all the basic changes (double, triple tap, held etc)

Happy gaming!
