I am trying to pair my xbox controller to my computer due to needing to use xbox cloud streaming for some games that straight up don't work due to anti cheat. But when I try and bluetooth my controller, it would 'connect' and then keep the remote in pairing mode. After a bit the disconnect/connect button would constantly flicker. How do I Bluetooth it properly. I have Bluetoothed my speaker to it before and did not have issues, and plugging it into my computer, it works how you'd expect. But I would like to be able to not have it plugged in all the time.

My machine is weird because why not: AMD Threadripper 1920x, Radeon Pro W5700, 64 GB RAM, Void Linux Musl. Steam installed via Flatpak from Flathub.

Since I don't play a lot of games and only have a 1TB NVMe disk I only keep a few of my favorite games installed. Today I realize I have 96 GB free on my disk, run du and find that steam is using nearly 500GB: 499G ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam That doesn't sound right because I only have a few games installed. Open steam, go to settings, check storage to see what it is reporting: Games: 91 GB, Shaders: 7 GB, Media: 1GB, Non-Steam 724GB (I rounded up to nearest GB) - just under 100GB. Okay, that makes sense given the games installed. But what the heck is the other 400GB that seems to be invisible to Steam?

Now I understand how flatpak works as well as containers in general. I expect storage will be used for dependency and caches taking a few GB, tens of gb perhaps. But no way FOUR HUNDRED GIGABYTES. I know my system and know what the other space is used for so all is accounted for save for that 400GB.

Anyone know where to start? I did a bit of searching and all the posts I have come across are complaining about a few GB, not hundreds. I have a feeling that uninstalled games or update files are not being deleted from disk but the maze of a file tree that is flatpak steam makes chasing down the culprits maddening. I am hoping is some sort of cache that can be cleared.

Hey all new to linux, I had used Arkham Asylum Mod from same dev's via Nexus mods website on Windows. I switched to Linux recently and looking to use the Arkham City redux Mod on my steam purchased version of the game.
So far I have the game on steam running fine.

I installed Bottles and I tried to add the Arkham city redux mod installer that comes with full download and tried to launch it which launches it fine, but I can't find my Linux install path in the installer.

Something different to ponder...

I'm looking for ideas to create autosave history for games that don't have it. One in particular, Astroneers. I'm thinking of using syncthing but I want it done over 5 minute intervals with no more than 30 minutes of history but I don't want a new history file if no changes have been made since then.

Hi so this is my first time ever downloading anything Linux related, I have used Linux in the last on the steam deck when I had one, and wanted to have that seamless console experience with my PC in bed no keyboard or mouse needed.

However steam gaming mode is extremely laggy and runs no higher then 60fps I'm aware this is due to my hardware (intel CPU+ Nvidia GPU). When I also switch to desktop mode (gnome) it's extremely laggy and my lecture is constantly flashing black and through the constant flashing I just about manage to change display settings like refresh rate and scaling resolution, only for it to go back to whatever it was set to initially, essentially it's just unusable for me.

Did I mess up the install or is it just not me having amd hardware, I'm aware steam gaming mode isnt going to run the best but why not gnome desktop?

I have a i5 12th gen and a 3080

Eu baixei o Raft v1.05b na itch.io e tentei rodar com wine mas não funciona e deu o aviso e erro:

Hi all, recently switched GPU's on my Pop_OS install (22.04) from an older RX570 to a Nvidia 1080 and I'm noticing stuttering on name games, such as Offworld Trading Company / World War Z. Games that ran under wine without a hitch on my weaker card. AFAI can tell proper nvidia drivers installed and working. (I mostly stick to Steam or Heroic Games Launcher for gaming)

OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS x86_64 CPU: Intel i7-4790K (8) @ 4.400GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080

Any advice or diagnostic steps appreciated.

The game developer pushed an update to allow Linux gamers through Proton!

The game uses EAC and I finished my first match without getting kicked!

The game is on sale as well!

Hello, I made the swap to linux about a month ago and it's all been going great, except for a couple of games in which my GTX 1650 has been causing me a lot of issues. The issues stem from said games start taking up all VRAM (and RAM and swapspace soon after) and eventually crash.

I've tried doing it on another computer in which I've also installed linux, but these games that crash in this computer work in this laptop. The only difference (besides an older CPU, but I don't think that should cause the issue) is that this laptop has an integrated graphics card.

I've tried both nvidia and nvidia-open and both cause the same issue. I've looked for similarities in these games (such as game engines) to see if I should look up somewhere else, but it seems to just be random for which games it works and which games it doesn't. Has anyone experienced these same issues, and if so, have you found any fix for them?

I've heard before that Linux has limitations on how many buttons can be a part of a USB input device, is this true? If so, what is the limit? I've been working on moving over to Linux and I'm wondering about the compatibility of several flight simulator USB throttle models, as many of them have a very high number of buttons and switches on them.

If these limitations do exist, is there a common recommended way of getting around them?

Thanks for any help!

Dawg this is so inconsistent, sometimes I love it sometimes I hate it waaahhh.

What do I like? The UI on Ubuntu is a lot better than Windows 10. It also loads and runs a lot quicker than windows, and I love that. You see all these people whining "wahhh wahhh terminal commands, lack of support" and that's bullshit. I understand because at first I was using a very barebones Void Linux version before I switched to Ubuntu but people whine too much.

That being said, holy shit there are a LOT of things that plain are not supported. I know I just called people who say that whiney, but there really is a lot of things that plain just aren't supported TwT. Steam games is no problem, Proton is a lifesaver. Of course, can't forget about Kernel anti-cheats (Fuck EA).

HOWEVER, I use a lot of third party modifications and software. For example, I played a ton of FiveM, which isn't supported on Linux. I wanted to try GTA Connected for GTA 4 multiplayer, which can work Linux, it's just a pain in the ass. Another thing would be the Meta Quest link app, so I have to go through other things to find out how to link my Quest and PC.

I love my mods but if there's one thing Linux loses in (for me), it's modding compatibility TwT

Anyway, I wanna know what you all think of this. Am I a goddamn idiot? Well I know the answer to that but uhh just give your opinions :P

15min is my timer in Ubuntu, and the monitor turns off if I'm playing a game that uses the xbox controller. How can I stop this?

Ubuntu 24.10, NVIDIA 3080

Basically the title, I want to get steam to open flatpak apps so I can easily record gameplay clips, but it won't recognize any by default and when I try to link it manually (via desktop shortcuts I made using the GNOME extension) it'll just crash.

Hey everyone,

I know you're gonna say that the game is done and never gonna work but it seems some people managed to get it working:

PROTON_BATTLEYE_RUNTIME=~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ BattlEye\ Runtime/ %command%

Getting into an online game requires a little tinkering... I installed "Proton BattleEye Runtime" from Steam Library, then added the above launch command. Online mode works just fine now... GTAV online used to kick me everytime until recently. Glad it finally works again!

I've tried hundreds of setting combinations:

• wine-ge / wine / etc... I've settled on Proton-GE 9.25 like the user who claims to have gotten it working (Installed with cproton-git on Lutris)
• Disabled Fsync, Esync, Lutris runtime, mangohud, FSR and Easy AntiCheat to limit the risk of weird DLLs that might trigger BattlEye (is this a good idea?)
• I've added the field PROTON_BATTLEYE_RUNTIME with the value ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ BattlEye\ Runtime/ in my Lutris environment variables to attempt to replicate the behaviour of user for whom it works. (Is this the right syntax?). I've also checked that the folder is present and the BattlEye Runtime is installed by Steam.

Has anyone here gotten it working on the Rockstar Launcher? How? With Lutris?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hello, I've been trying to get Resident Evil 2 gog edition working through wine/lutris and I'm running into an issue. In order to run the game without encountering a direct x error, I have to select that the game use the dgvoodoo2 option in the runner options on lutris. When the game starts the frame rate is very slow like a slideshow. Is there any way to fix this? My graphics driver is mesa if that helps.

Any chance of it working on AMD's RDNA1 class GPUs?

I tried fixing the partition in many different ways and even formating from zero but it keeps happening, a game crashes and the whole disk is set to read only.

I need to launch 2 apps (1 is the game, and the other one is the mod/server for it) using Proton in the same time and in the same compatdata. I tried using the STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH argument in the launch options and I tried using symlinks, but when I launch both apps, only 1 app launches, and when I close that app, the other launches.

And when I use 2 different compatdata for 2 different games, they do launch at the same time. But I need to use the same compatdata so they could communicate with each other or something.

So how can I launch both apps at the same time and in the same compatdata? This might sound confusing, if you have questions, please ask them in the comments.

I tried using Proton 9, and Proton GE. I am using Arch Linux.
