Wuthering Waves and Optiscaler, works on Windows but can it work Linux?
Tried everything, even using Lutris to start the 'Client-Win64-Shipping.exe', which works but the Anti-cheat always kicks me out of the game within 30 seconds.
Using Steam version.
Latest OptiScaler v0.7.7-pre9.
winmm.dll overide.
Arch Linux, RX 7700 XT.

Drastic speedup in Gaming Tool (Proton 10)
I'm on Ubuntu 24.04. Still on proton 9 which only worked stable on 25.04 so far.
When I browsed the changes in the last months I decided to try again and this time everything was stable.
I noticed a bit of startup speed gain, but I just had noticed that Ubuntu 24 had a 6.14 kernel which is the minimum for NTSYNC. So I thought why not try this out. Use flatpak ge-proton 10.10.
I have a script for starting MO2. modprobe ntsync kernel module manually. Added the variable to my script. And restarted. Since there should be a MT speedup, I thought to try out xEdit which has been a major performance problem.
And I was really astonished: For my ~1400 plugins it went down from> 10min to 38 seconds. No joke. I haven't even tried the game.
MO2 sync itself also profits a little from proton 10 / ntsync.
Note though that I did disable Hash calculations which may cut down the number of seconds in half (so 1-2min on an average PCIe3 based PC is to be expected.
(Didn't check on steamdeck, but use plasma desktop here as well (X11))

Getting MIDI hardware working with Windows games running under Wine - System Shock Enhanced Edition
I spent the last couple days trying to figure out how to get System Shock: Enhanced edition to work with my Roland SC-88. There weren't any guides I could find on using real MIDI hardware with Wine so I just figured it out on my own. If there's any other relevant places this should be cross-posted let me know, I'm not really sure where would appreciate this guide. Here's some details for my setup in case you want to replicate it:
- Arch Linux 6.15.6-2
- Pipewire
- Roland UM-One mk2 USB MIDI Interface
In this example I'll be using System Shock Enhanced Edition running through Proton. If your game is Linux native such as GZDoom no workarounds are required, the UM-One was detected as a MIDI option out of the box and it just worked, though this could still be useful if it's not being automatically detected. If there's a game you're trying to get working with Wine, read on.
Pipewire falls back on ALSA's MIDI support by default, so that's what I'm using. There wasn't a guide I could find explicitly saying how to manually connect MIDI inputs and outputs to eachother. Reading the Arch Wiki's entry on MIDI and aconnect's manpage I was able to put two and two together and figure out what I was doing wrong.
Software solutions such as FluidSynth and TiMidity++ use MIDI port 128:0 which is what Wine ALSA defaults to using out of the box, so none of the guides detailing how to get those working ever mention anything about the ports not being assigned properly. The UM-One seems to just pick a MIDI port at random on boot with it defaulting to 28:0 during this run as seen below, to list your MIDI devices and what ports they're using run aconnect -l. Here's an example of my output when using that command:
> aconnect -l client 0: 'System' [type=kernel] 0 'Timer ' Connecting To: 144:0 1 'Announce ' Connecting To: 144:0 client 28: 'UM-ONE' [type=kernel,card=3] 0 'UM-ONE MIDI 1 ' client 128: 'WINE midi driver' [type=user,pid=1172734] 0 'WINE ALSA Output' client 144: 'PipeWire-System' [type=user,UMP-MIDI2,pid=1417] 0 'input ' Connected From: 0:1, 0:0 client 145: 'PipeWire-RT-Event' [type=user,UMP-MIDI2,pid=1417] 0 'input 'If your Windows game is exposing a MIDI output correctly, Wine should have a listing as shown above. Now that we know what port Wine is using and what port the UM-One is using, all we have to do is connect them together. As specified in the aconnect manpage, to connect a MIDI output to an input use the command:
aconnect 128:0 28:0The output of running this command is silent so to confirm it bridged successfully you can use aconnect -l to check. Keep in mind 128:0 is the Wine ALSA output and 28:0 is my USB MIDI interface's port, yours will likely be different.
This is mostly an addendum but here's some additional troubleshooting I performed in case they help anyone get their game working:
System Shock Enhanced Edition could see the UM-One interface in it's options menu, but no MIDI notes were being sent. Some games on Windows don't even let you pick a MIDI interface other than the first one it finds, so knowing how to manual connecting with aconnect is useful.
I saw the MIDI page on the Wine wiki explaining how to choose a MIDI interface by editing the registry but I messed with winecfg and regedit using protontricks and was never able to get any meaningful results from it. No idea what I'm doing wrong there.
Part of why I wrote this guide is because I couldn't figure out a better way of doing things. I ran into all sorts of different problems coming to this eventual solution. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions to improve on this guide let me know and I'll update accordingly.

Game (Xcom 2) wont launch, needs DirectX no matter what version of Proton I use
I'm new to Linux trying to run games on a laptop with Ubuntu 24.04. I downloaded native Steam, and no matter what type of Proton I try and force (Experimental, 9.0-4, G-E, 7) The game launch fails to lack of DirectX. What am I doing wrong?

Mod Organizer 2 installer development continues!
Hello!
As some of you may know, back in January, Rockerbacon archived the modorganizer2-linux-installer repo, which was one of the easiest ways to get MO2 up and running on Linux.
Well, I'm happy to say that the project is officially continuing development!
Back in April I had made a fork to give myself Cyberpunk compatibility, but that quickly grew into additional features, bug fixes, and the like. It all came to a head where today, after working out logistics with Rockerbacon, the original project is now under new management! (Me!)
Since the archive, support has been added for Cyberpunk 2077, Dragon Age: Origins, and Oblivion Remastered. We've also fully updated the script extenders and made them an optional install for those who prefer to use plugins like Root Builder. And speaking of plugins, those can now be installed through the script as well! And of course, there's plenty of bugfixes to go with it. All available in 5.2.0 5.2.1!
And in the near future, I'm hoping to greatly widen the range of games that are supported!
Anyways, I figured someone would want to know :) Happy modding!

bwrap: setting up uid map: Permission denied
Hello everyone,
I just started using Lutris to play GTA SA on Ubuntu. At first, I was able to play the game using the default Wine version wine-ge-8-26-x86_64. The graphics were a bit blurry, but it was still playable. Later, I saw some recommendations suggesting to use GE Proton, so I did some research and installed Protonup-Qt, GE Proton10.10, and the UMU launcher. However, after installing all of that, I encountered an error. It even affected the default Wine version, showing the same message log: pressure-vessel-wrap[4067]: E: Child process exited with code 1: bwrap: setting up uid map: Permission denied
From what I’ve found, it seems to be related to AppArmor. I’ve tried everything I could, but the problem still persists. Does anyone know how to fix this error? If someone can help me with a fix, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Undervolting GPU

I'm genuinely tired of lutris.
Lutris used to be so great... Especially with recent steam deck developments, it used to run so well. But as of right now it's chawkful of non-descriptive small error codes that the forums, reddit and even the lutris forum itself cannot resolve. I use cracked games sometimes, I'll admit to it as at the end of the day i live in a 3rd world country, but come on man. I can't even sit down and play no more... Someone should explain to me how a game i played for DAYS would suddenly give out error codes like 13568 and 256 and the worst offender 0 where everything was FINE but it doesn't frickin work for no apparent reason! I don't know anymore man, i might try heroic next and if no dice i might give up on the whole thing. I'm on arch hyprland with a full AMD build in case you're wondering. What saddens me the most is that when it was working it was WAY BETTER than on windows even had less weird graphical artifacting to some even being non-existent in some games. So yeah I'm just rambling at this point as i already tried forcing vcrun in the wineprefix including in multiple proton and native wine and winetricks versions. Oh well...

Help, I can't figure out how to run games with Vulkan instead of OpenGL
I have tried vanilla steam, proton-ge with lutris as well as wine, wine-tkg, proton-sarek and sarek dxvk. Nothing I do runs the game with Vulkan, any ideas please, I want to switch to Linux but I can't figure out gaming.

Wrong inputs with Dualsense Bluetooth
I am on Arch (cachyOS) KDE using the steam arch package and I am having this weird issue where I connect my dualsense with BT but, steam has it mapped completely wrong across games and big picture mode. Even when I try to manually configure the buttons it won’t detect the touchpad or the mic button and even holding down right trigger moves the right stick in the gui. When I plug my controller in with usb though everything works as normal. I have tried using the flatpak version of steam, tried with my built in Bluetooth from mobo and then tp-link usb adapter with no luck. Other games outside of steam work fine. This one is a real head scratcher EDIT: Tried on windows as well and it was completely fine

Halo MCC won’t launch
Whenever I press the play button nothing happens. I’ve verified, deleted compatdata, uninstalled it, changed proton versions, tried GE yet nothing happens.

vkPost - a vkBasalt fork
I have discovered this repository a few months ago. I've searched in the sub but nobody seems to have found yet. I don't even know if it's safe. It has its own PKGBUILDS inside and does not exist on AUR. Wanted to share here:
https://github.com/KowabungaOfficial/vkPost
It seems like it's not a direct fork from vkBasalt's original repo. Needs to be reviewed I guess.

Change window theme under wine
Hi I'm fairly new to using Linux on my main PC.
I'm now experimenting with different things to make my windows app/games work.
I'm using Faugus & Lutris for now.
One thing I would really like to change is that old Windows style that applies to the apps when I launch them. I tried to apply different msstyles to my wine cfg but they never seem to apply to the applications...
I'd love to use my main gnome theme if that's possible but anything that would make this less uglier would be good aswell.
Thanks in advance!

Bluetooth Xbox controller issue
Hello! I know this question has been asked before, but I've been through countless other posts and the solutions that work for those people aren't working for me. I'm trying to connect my bluetooth Xbox controller, and I can actually connect with no issue, but when I launch a game and start playing it, it will randomly disconnect and reconnect after a few seconds. It seems like this happens after the controller is idle for a minute or two, but I've also had it happen during consistent use. The controller itself has fresh batteries and shouldn't have any connectivity issues because this doesn't happen on Windows. Here are my specs:
OS: Endeavour (had same problem on Mint and Bazzite)
Controller: X|S Series
Bluetooth adapter: Initially TP-link BT 5.3, then tried Kinivo BTD530 because it supposedly has better Linux support. Identical issue.
I am using xpadneo, and I've already booted into Windows to update the controller's firmware. I've also tried disabling usb idle timeout, specifically targeting the dongle. No luck. I'm seriously stumped. I really want to fix it because I want Linux to be my daily driver for everything, especially gaming. Any help is highly appreciated!

PSA for fellow 9060 xt strugglers
I had been having issues with my graphics card after following some instructions to manually upgrade the kernel to version 6.14, and had downloaded the AMD drivers from their website. Later learned I shouldnt have done either. Uninstalled the kernel and went back to 6.8, then used Linux mint's update manager to upgrade. Still had problems. For some reason, after running sudo amdgpu-install --uninstall and rebooting, everything worked perfectly. Now it lists the driver version as kernel instead of amdgpu. Not sure what any of this means, I'm a total noob, but figured I should post what worked for me. Symptoms: laggy cursor and desktop and GPU utilization and clock speed extremely low
