I've tried uninstalling it and installing it again but that didn't work. I also tried repairing it but this didn't work. If someone can help me please reply. Newest Version of sober and all I did was flatpak update and the usual prompt

Guys I have a problem with some icons of mine (mainly games) that does not have the right resolution or it is even missing, so I have been searching around this problem and its a issue with more than 10 years on steam. Is there a way to automatically download the icon for steam games? SGDBoop does not work for app menu (GNOME) icons, only work for steam in-app icons.

I'm running debian sid and purchased a wired usb game controller for gaming.

The controller configures fine when plugged in and works using lutris flatpak without issue.

When not in use, it constantly disconnects and reconnects:

I'm pretty sure this is an idle timeout issue as I can stop this behavior by running the System Settings joystick control or 'cat /dev/input/event11 > /dev/null'.

Any help appreciated as I prefer to leave this plugged in.

Picked up Backpack Hero on Steam last week with plans to play or on my ROG Ally X running Bazzite. When I went to copy a backed up save l, I saw that the Windows version had been Installed. I've tried everything to make Steam download the Linux version but am having no luck. Is there a way to force Steam to download the Linux version of a game?

I have switched to Linux (Mint) for all of my home computers aside from my main gaming PC. I like Mint just fine and can do everything I need to do at home on it so far.

I have two questions:

1. Will a live image give me a good idea of Linux performance for games? I want to test things out with a USB before making the plunge.

2. Is there a certain distro, DE, etc. that is going to give me a better/worse experience targeting games at 1080p/60? Any reason not to use Mint or to use a certain flavor? I have an AMD 5600X and 6600XT if it matters.

All games are stored on disks separate from my Windows boot drive right now. Most were GOG or in standalone installers. I would plan to mostly run these through Steam/Proton.

Hi, guys! I'm new to gaming on Linux and I had some issues. I used the heroic game launcher, and while the game launches alright and everything, there's a bug where I can't change the resolution of my game. Im trying to do so to get more frames and also because my computer for some reason allows me to select a higher resolution than my monitor (1440p) which is where the game resolution locks itself to (4k), hence my need to lower it.

A while ago I decided to make the switch to Linux, and it was a horrid experience, plagued with compatibility issues. This post is aimed at those that want to make the switch. I hope this will help some people out there. I spent an unfortunate amount of time on figuring out this, and I think no one else should have to.

[The issue]:

When enabling VRR at 240hz, the monitor would intermittently turn black for a moment. The issue would occur faster when moving windows or stuff happens on the screen, rendering the experience unusable.

[The cause]:

Either a lack of or an incorrectly provided EDID file causes Linux to not know how to handle the input provided. The G9 uses something called Display Stream Compression. I would assume that this tech is somewhat foreign to Linux and it not being recognized could be the root problem, though I am not certain of that nor am I committed to put any further research into it.

[The solution]:

The basic idea is to extract a working EDID file from a Windows installation, import it into Linux and set it up to load on boot.

Step 0: Retrieve a functional EDID.bin file from Windows

To extract the EDID file, you can either follow a sequence of cmd commands or use one of the third party tools available out there. If you choose the former, you can ask ChatGPT for the lines of code. I did so as well, and it took about 5~10 minutes till I had the exported EDID file on a USB stick. Any premade tool out there should work too.

If your Monitor is of the following model you may use my EDID file which will be provided here. Though I suggest you generate your own one when possible.

Model: S49CG954SU
Model Code: LS49CG954SUXEN
Type No.: S49CG954S

Step 1: Copy the EDID file to a newly made edid folder.

sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/edid
sudo cp /path/to/your/samsung_edid.bin /lib/firmware/edid/

Step 2. Find out what port your Monitor uses:

xrandr --listmonitors

DP-3 in my case.

Step 3: open the grub editor

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Step 4: append the following to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT

drm.edid_firmware=DP-3:edid/samsung_edid.bin

Consider that your port may not be DP-3. Adjust accordingly and the final line of code should look a little something like this.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='quiet splash drm.edid_firmware=DP-3:edid/samsung_edid.bin'

Hit Ctrl + S and Ctrl + X to save and exit.

Step 5: Update and rebuild

sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

sudo dracut --force --install /lib/firmware/edid/LC49G95.bin /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

Step 6: reboot

sudo reboot

After having completed the steps, the monitor should perform up to spec without a hitch.

Depending on what Linux Distro you use, the steps will likely vary, while the general outline will remain the same. If you are on Arch, Debian, etc. you may consult ChatGPT to convert the Fedora based terminal prompts to match your distro.

Title says it all really. I have an itch for RO again and don't want to spin up a Windows VM just for it.

This has been happening for the past month or so, I’m dual booting windows and Steam on the same system but three different NVME drives (one has windows, the second has Arch and the third is formatted in ext4 and works with my Linux install), and one day, suddenly, this started happening, I can’t update or install games because the download displays “corrupt game files” when it is verifying the files for the game that’s being installed, I’ve already tried all the solutions online like:

-verifying integrity of game’s files. -clearing download cache. -deleting the downloading folder in the steam directory. -erasing shader cache. -reinstalling Steam. -uninstalling the native package (Steam-native-runtime).

Only thing I have left to try is the flatpak version. I’ve checked my drives and they’re all good, plus they’re new, so there shouldn’t be any issue, I don’t know what to do anymore, I’ve even reinstalled arch and NOTHING. I’m using the standard kernel but even on lts, same thing happens.

Hey everyone,

I’m running Fedora 42 Workstation with KDE and using the Flatpak version of Steam. Battlefield 4 launches fine under Proton Experimental, but as soon as PunkBuster kicks in, I get kicked after a few minutes while playing.
I’ve heard PunkBuster needs updating, so I tried to set it up manually with Protontricks—but I keep hitting roadblocks.
What I’ve tried so far: • Downloaded pbsetup.zip and extracted pbsetup.exe (Windows version)
• Installed Protontricks both as a Flatpak and system package
• Launched Protontricks, which shows two Steam paths:

/home/user/.local/share/Steam – I can see BF4 in this library, but choosing it yields: “Proton installation could not be found!”

/home/user/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam – This one complains: “Found no games. You need to launch a game at least once before Protontricks can find it.” • Tried command-line Protontricks targeting the BF4 prefix—no luck • Granted all permissions to the Protontricks Flatpak sandbox

/home/user/.local/share/Steam – I can see BF4 in this library, but choosing it yields: “Proton installation could not be found!”

/home/user/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam – This one complains: “Found no games. You need to launch a game at least once before Protontricks can find it.” • Tried command-line Protontricks targeting the BF4 prefix—no luck • Granted all permissions with Flatseal to the Protontricks Flatpak sandbox

Has anyone else run into this with PunkBuster on Flatpak Steam? How did you get Protontricks to recognize and update PunkBuster in the BF4 prefix? What can i do?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,

so I am another of these guys that switch gaming from windows to linux. So far, I was very succesful: My main game, Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) works very fine on my Linux Mint Box, so alright that far.

My problem now is to get addons working correctly - for both my wife and myself. And that´s where somehow the trouble starts. So, here is what I do:

1. my /home-dirs are on an nfs server. As I didn´t get steam working with this, I have created a local partition on my pc that I mounted under "/lin-games". In my home-dir (assume that I'm "user1"), you can see the following:

$ ls -la ~ | grep steam
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user1 users 25 Aug 11 13:04 user1 user1-steam -> /lin-games/user1-steam/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user1 users 25 Aug 11 13:04 .steam -> /lin-games/user1-steam/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user1 users 32 Aug 11 14:47 .steampath -> /home/user1/.steam/sdk32/steam
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user1 users 30 Aug 11 14:47 .steampid -> /home/user1/.steam/steam.pid

Now, here we go for /lin-games:

$ ls -la /lin-games/
drwxrwxr-x+ 3 user1 users 4096 Aug 11 15:41 games
drwxr-xr-x 3 user1 users 4096 Aug 11 14:47 user1-steam

What you see here is the .steam-dir from my /home-dir and "games", where my steam library is located.

From my windows I know that ESO stores Addons under "Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/Addons". Now, I assumed that under linux, these settings would be found under each .steam-dir, in my case "/lin-games/user1-steam". Unfortunately, this is not the case. I can find the addons here:

"/lin-games/games/steamapps/compatdata/306130/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Elder\ Scrolls\ Online/live/AddOns/"

For only one user this is no problem, but as my wife uses other addons than me, I cannot change these addons as their are located on the steam-library-folder.

Is there any solution to this?

Greets!

I have no problem running this on Windows before. When I switch to Fedora, the game keep crashing before EA and Criterion Logo showed up. I have tried add -skipvideos argument on EA Launcher, switch compatibilty, and even tried Lutris, still didn't work. Idk what's the problem here. The launcher I use is Bottles.

Hello, i have this random issue that happened not that long ago, everytime when i play NFSU2 on Linux via Lutris and Wine 10.9 or ProtonGE 10.10, it causes the game to freeze when loading to a race or doing anything that requires loading. Is there any fix for this, it pisses me off the most and corrupts my saves when these lockups happen?

Hello,

I have a PowerA Wired Xbox controller that is connected to my PopOS 22.04 via USB.

I installed the xone driver (https://github.com/medusalix/xone) and using evtest I can see that my controller inputs are working as expected according to the OS.

Using Brave Browser, I load up Microsoft Xbox Cloud Gaming site but it states that no controller is connected. Even when I press buttons on the controller, the website does not pick it up.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can get the Xbox Cloud Gaming site to pick up the controller?

Cheers.
