Hey guys, does anybody know how to fix the black screen after loading into a save state in Assassin's Creed Valhalla via Steam? I already tried different Proton and ProtonGE versions.

Some more information:

• Fedora Workstation 43
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
• NVIDIA Driver 580.105.08

So when I launch the game I get into the main menu, select a save state or create one, get into the loading screen with my character where I can move and then it transitions to a black screen where the world should load. I hear ambient sounds but can't see or do anything. Sometimes I still see the loading icon (not moving) at the bottom right.

Hi everyone,

I'm aware this isn't very per say gaming related but wanted to ask bit wider audience especially since linux gaming community is rather lively.

I would like to ask whether anyone knows how to reload keyboard shortcuts config live after replacing the file without restarting whole plasma session.

What i have tried(each step performed after swapping file with simple cp and confirming that it had have happened):

dbus-send --session --type=signal /KGlobalSettings org.kde.KGlobalSettings.notifyChange int32:3 int32:5

above should send notification about changes in the files and reload 3(settings),5(Shortcuts)

qdbus6 org.kde.KWin /KWin org.kde.KWin.reconfigure

should reconfigure kwin which handles global shortcuts in plasma 6(probably only does that for other parts :/ ), i also tried one more version of this but it also did not change anything.

systemctl --user restart plasma-kglobalaccel.service
i did this first presuming that restart of the service will cause reload of the config, but it does not.

I've seen that somebody workaround that by using dbus call which sets the shortcut but i would like to avoid that solution if possible.

any educated guesses?

Thanks in advance.

I tried some scripts, but most of them works at first when I boot the computer, later on it will stuck with nvidia being used by the host, I can not unbind it for the VM, does anyone have a good script that can handle everything?

Thanks

This is my script:

alias nvidia-disable='
echo "[*] Unloading NVIDIA modules...";
sudo rmmod nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia 2>/dev/null;
echo "[*] Loading VFIO modules...";
sudo modprobe vfio_pci;
sudo modprobe vfio_iommu_type1;
sudo modprobe vfio_virqfd;
echo "[*] Detaching GPU...";
sudo virsh nodedev-detach pci_0000_01_00_0;
'

# Chuyển GPU từ VFIO -> NVIDIA
alias nvidia-enable='
echo "[*] Reattaching GPU...";
sudo virsh nodedev-reattach pci_0000_01_00_0;
echo "[*] Unloading VFIO...";
sudo rmmod vfio_pci vfio_iommu_type1 vfio_virqfd 2>/dev/null;
echo "[*] Loading NVIDIA modules...";
sudo modprobe nvidia;
sudo modprobe nvidia_modeset;
sudo modprobe nvidia_uvm;
sudo modprobe nvidia_drm;

I am willing to develop something that truly matters and with that said I want real world problems to solve instead of examples or simulations. I am already a developer, a web developer to be more accurately, but I want to invest in desktop development and this is a good way to enter in this world. One of my common problems that I have is the game icon in general, the usual low resolution and the fallback icon that always appears on my DE (Gnome). These two I am trying to solve right now with a Gnome Gaming Hub approach, the idea is to works like cartridge app as a universal launch app but automatically updating the desktop entry and icons to make it easier to everyone. Maybe it could fetch proton versions and control in friendly way the command launch (like checkboxes) but this another problem. The main thing here is: share your ideas, pains, problems on linux gaming. Let's discuss it.

Sorry for my english, I am not a native speaker.

So im trying to completely switch to linux the only thing stopping me is this ass game that i play with my friends.

The game just freezes constantly after every action i take and it cant be a network problem beacause i tried right after on win11 and it ran smoothly

im still relatively new to linux so any help would be great.

Im on an RX 7600 gpu and Intel I5 13400F.
I open the game and try to setup settings but the get surprised that fsr3 fg is not there even tho they recently added it. i hopped on windows and the fg worked flawlessly but the thing is that i DONT wanna use windows so how can i fix this? I use Proton-GE 10-25 and cachy os.

So the steam overlay and certain elements of games like CS2 console's cross out button and marvels spider man launcher are scaled way to small for my 4k monitor. Is this a known issue and is there any fix for this?

Hello!

With the deprecation of Maxwell architectures (my laptop has a 960m), the (future or not) releases of some games I want to play such as Subnautica 2 and also because my development tools are too heavyweight for a confortable use with my current setup, I need a new computer.

I'm looking for a config that allows me to:

• Play possibly new and performance-demanding games with high graphics
• Use programming tools confortably (they mainly eat CPU and RAM). I don't train/use AI models.
• Use will be Linux most of the time with probably a small Windows partition for games that cannot be run on the former.
• Stay relevant in the long term so if I need to spend more money to get something that will last longer to avoid buying new parts earlier I'm ok with it.

I consider myself experienced on the software part (whether it being development or administration) but I have almost no knowledge on the hardware side and that's why I'm asking here.

From what I've heard, AMD still is better than NVIDIA when it comes to Linux support and will still be for a moment. Also the drivers seem to support older hardware than NVIDIA's. However, some people told me that NVIDIA is still ahead for raytracing and graphics in general and has a better quality/cost ratio than AMD.

Should I use AMD or NVIDIA for GPUs? Moreover, do you have any kind of build you recommend for my case?

Thanks!

It is recommended on protodb to use “PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 WAYLANDDRV_MONITOR=(monitor) %command%” to get arc raiders running well on cachyos, and i do get great performance when doing so, but i then cant use steam input whatsoever, the game just completely ignores it. Removing the command allows me to use steam input again, but my performance tanks and the game sets my resolution way above what my monitor is capable of. Anyone know any fixes? I cant find anything online

no clue what causes it no clue what to do to fix it, this has been a problem for a while now and i have searched to the best of my ability to fix this issue and cannot. this happens randomly, so it could be instant, or it could be hours into my game. does anyone have any possible fixes i can do? im not sure if im the only one getting this but if i wasn't this bug would be documented more right? so its probably some issue with my hw but i have no clue what it could be... also the game will crash after a bit when this happens, like how it did at 1:30.

Hi, I'm starting using Lutris to run Ubisoft Connect and Far Cry 4 was my first choice. After some tinkering, I was able to run the game but there is a major issue, game looks like this all the time

https://reddit.com/link/1pge4oy/video/oaz0xsltzq5g1/player

Since I'm using Ubisoft Connect to launch the game, I set the game runner options for the Ubisoft Launcher. I set:

- Wine version: GE-Proton (Latest)

- Disable DXVK: If I enable, game gets stuck in initial loading, before the intro videos

This is my system info (sorry, is in Spanish, but info is pretty clear)

TL;DR making a Arch Linux PC that can correctly output 240p/480i, do RetroArch Switchres, and run graphical programs at 640x480. (I assume if a game can run at 640x480, it can output to a 480i TV.)

I have a PC I built with a card that outputs analog video. I currently have Batocera running on it, and while I like how it boots into emulationstation and can be controlled with my controller, I feel that I am disabling and changing more features in Batocera rather than using them. I dislike flatpak. Batocera also "feels" like a mobile device OS rather than a x86 PC OS. I feel that I sacrificing customizability and the ability to use my PC as a desktop for the ease of setting things up.

The only reason I use it is because the CRT script is robust and works well, and the packaged tools it provides are extremely useful for scaling the image. I am unsure how I would do this without Batocera.

I really, REALLY do not like how Batocera handles Retroarch cfg. It just makes things a big hassle, while trying to simplify things. That seems to be the main gripe I have with the entire OS.

My dream would be a Linux PC (Arch most likely) that boots into something similar to emulationstation (I can program this myself) that I can launch games from (which is what batocera is) but also have the ability to install Arch packages and play PC games easily, like the Touhou games on my crt.

For example, Touhou 6 is a pain in the ASS to get running on Linux (Windows too), and requires specific Wine prefix settings and patches and locale to get it running. Doing that on Batocera sounds awful, if it is even possible.

Also, Steam games. Batocera does support Steam, although I have heard that it isn't super well supported.

I apologize for the deranged way I write. I have issues

Title. Ever since installation about a month ago, the game has validated literally every time I start steam, about 1.7GB. Tried manual validation, no dice.

Is there any way to fix this issue or at the very least disable validation for this game? Thanks in advance.

Gonna be honest im at a loss. Celeste has worked fine for me for quite some time and i cant find a single other person out there who has the same issue. this is the output i get from my terminal:

Debug info from gdb:

mono_gdb_render_native_backtraces not supported on this platform, unable to find gdb or lldb

pid 10629 != 10626, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)

Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates

a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries

used by your application.

Proton also used to work just fine, but now when i try to run Celeste with proton i get this:

ERROR: ld.so: object '~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

I dont know where to begin with figuring this issue out. I know its not a driver conflict, the only nvidia related thing on my arch distro is the nvidia-utils that are required by steam. Hollow Knight: Silksong works just fine too.

So, I installed Nobara Official KDE Plasma Linux yesterday, switching from Windows. I am trying to play Marvel Rivals and other games, but performance is quite abysmal compared to Windows, and I knew with right optimizing, it absolutely should not be, should be at least on par. For Rivals, I tried different proton versions, using Feral gamemode, giving the game correct write permissions to gamemode.ini, using different launch flags. Nothing made it go above 45 fps in the practice rage, whereas before, it would get basically fully stable 60 fps in the practice range. So, I looked it up and heard Wayland Plasma session causes glitches and performance problems using Nvidia cards and drivers, especially older cards like my GTX 1050ti and the latest closed source Linux drivers I installed onto my Linux. So I installed Plasma X11, the whole X11 package, every dependency met. I even rebooted after this change, but as shown in the video, every time I try to log in with the Plasma X11 session, it shows my Dell screen for a second, tries to load, then immediately boots me back to the login screen.

I'm kinda stuck as to what to do here, does anyone know how to help me?

Hi all, I've been trying to setup a virtual screen for sunshine/moonlight streaming but haven't managed to get the screen to actually appear. I've followed this guide to try getting it to work.

For simplicity I downloaded the samsung-q800t-hdmi2.1 edid that the guide was using by clicking the plain on this git page (I haven't used git before, so that may be my screw up there)

The file is in /usr/lib/firmware/edid/

I have a free HDMI-A-1, so I used that

my /etc/kernel/cmdline has drm.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/samsung-q800t-hdmi2.1 video=HDMI-A-1:e to the end of it

And finally, what I suspect is the area I messed up at as the guide mentions mkinitcpio, but my EndeavorOS didn't seem to have it, I created /etc/dracut.conf.d/edid.conf
and added:
add_drivers+=" nvidia nvidia_drm "
install_items+=" /usr/lib/firmware/edid/samsung-q800t-hdmi2.1 "

I then ran sudo dracut -f and restarted my pc, with no display tied to the HDMI-A-1.

I am currently running EndeavorOS on wayland with Nvidia if that helps, thanks!
