I have been playing World of Warcraft (classic and retail) in Lutris for a long time now. I recently updated Pop_OS and had Nvidia driver issues, so I took the plunge and upgraded to their new Cosmic desktop environment, which uses Wayland. (Was using X11 before, but I had used Wayland occasionally and never had this issue.)

After that and then purging and reinstalling the latest Nvidia driver, graphics issues were fixed, but I my now have a new issue:

In wow, if I hold a mouse button to camera look (left or right, doesn't matter which), the mouse cursor moves. When I let go of the button, and the cursor reappears, it's in a new position as if I had moved it without holding a button. It is supposed to stay in the place where you clicked and held the button initially.

I am not sure what, out of all the stuff I did, is causing this problem. I've tried various runners, though I am usually using Proton GE (latest). I have tried gamescope on and off, makes no difference. Not sure what else I should try. Ideas welcome.

Weird journey. I started with a Void Linux install using Gnome. It was buggy so I changed to Arch and Sway, and kept the home directory. I haven't launched Lutris since I changed to Arch. Now I'm trying Niri and decided to check Lutris.

It seems like it all works well except for Windows games using gamescope. They run fine if I turn off gamescope.

I'm not sure whats happening. I also tried this using Sway and it is the same story.

Any ideas?

I am on fedora 43 with a 9070XT and have been desperately trying to get optiscaler though Goverlay to work. So far I have tried it in 4 games and it only works in 1.

I pasted the launch commands from Goverlay in steam and try to bring up the optiscaler menu but it never pops up other than in

1. ratchet and clank rift apart - works with the bleeding edge build where using f4( what I set instead of default insert) brings up the menu and I can use fsr 4 with it

2. crimson desert - it seems optiscaler is some what being injected as I can see the prompt in the beginning of the game but its insert even though I set it to f4 and never works no matter how many times I try to press the button

   1. god of war ragnarok has the same issue too

3. frostpunk 2 doesn’t even give me the prompt at the start.

I have tried various different protons ge , cachyos, experimental …. To no avail turning off the spoof dlss inputs doesn’t help either. Have it installed as a flatpak but tried it non flatpak too and it’s the same issue all around

I’m fairly new to Linux. While browsing Steam, I came across this game called MineMogul and really liked it. I wanted to try it, but the game’s graphics look like this. What should I do? My graphics card is quite old. I’ve listed all the details below. (Please let me know if anything is missing.)

-GPU: GTX660Ti (470 drivers installed)

-Distro: EndeavourOS XFCE

-RAM CPU: 16GB 3600X

-Launch command: PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

-Proton version: GE-proton10-34 (I tried versions 5 through 9, but they either give a Unity error or a DirectX 11 error.)

I tried Vulkan, but it won’t launch because my card doesn’t support versions higher than 1.2.

When I run it with OpenGL, the performance isn’t bad, but these lines make it unplayable.

I tried using Bottles, Boxes, VirtualBox, Waydroid (I need Android 11+) and Wine, but it didn't work for me.

Idk if is the dependencies or the wrong version, I just need to play Guardian Tales (for speedrunning or something idk)...

What I did? I just installed all of those in Zorin OS (and yeah, didn't work).

From where? Flathub and maybe GitHub (example. Waydroid-script).

If I tried to troubleshoot? Yes, I tried using tutorials, posts and another things that I forgot...

System information pls?

Zorin OS 18

Videocard: Integrated CometLake-S GT2 (Intel I3-10100T)

Chipset: Intel I3-10100T

OpenGL: 4.6

These are the launch options

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 mangohud game-performance %command%

The moment I turn HDR ON in game the game crashes, Anybody else?

Game works without crashing in gamescope, but the peak brightness settings in game is going to 4100, which is obviously wrong. So I doubt HDR is working properly in gamescope too.

Hi , i want to switch to linux bcuz F*** Windows i cant deal with it abymore , anyway im a computer engineering student and a graphic designer and yes i like to play some games and i use adobe programs, So how do i start? and what distro should i choose?

Hi! I enjoy playing minecraft, but now am looking into getting a client to be able to install mods. Most of my friends use feather client, but that is for windows. Can anyone suggest a great client that supports loads of mods available for ubuntu?

How can I play eFootball on Linux Mint Xfce Edition?

I used to use CachyOS for gaming like two months ago and everything was fine, I deleted it accidentally, then two days ago I installed it again, no games are working now! I have an Nvidia card (Rtx 5060) and I'm playing non-steam games on steam... And no error messages or anything! It just starts then stops immediately without showing anything! I've tried several proton versions too, downloaded the "gaming pack" suggested by CachyOS, and even switched to X11 session but nothing seems to work... Is there a solution? Is it because of updates? or should I go to another distro?

Artix Linux, last zen kernel, amdgpu (AMD 5700 XT), updated drivers.

Tried every possible combination of Proton versions, even experimental bleeding edge.

The game crashes my GPU to ring0 every time the gameplays starts, sometimes even in menu. I can play from around 0 to 20 minutes, being the last the higher session.

I'm out of ideas. I need help.

Hello everyone,

I've had this Steelseries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless for a couple years or more. It has accompanied me in my Windows - and now my KDE Neon times. However it has become rather unstable... Meaning: it keeps disconnecting or breaking up, like up until a point where its just the connnect-disconnect noises again and again.

Pulling out the USB-C dongle and putting it back in previously did solve it for a short while but that has not also stopped doing anything.

Does anyone have any experience or advice on this?

hi all, i just got a new pc and i decided to switch to linux because of, y'know, everything that's wrong with windows. so far i love it and i'm glad i made the switch, but installing minecraft is proving to be a major pain in the ass for some reason.

i downloaded the .deb from mojang and installed it through the terminal, but the launcher wouldn't open after install. i tried opening it through the terminal with the sudo command and that almost worked, but the minecraft launcher just opened as a white box. i looked back at the terminal and it gave me... whatever this is.

i consulted this post and this guide but neither seem to be helping.

i'm brand new to linux so i would really appreciate having instructions broken down as step-by-step as possible. genuinely i have no idea what i'm even looking at here. if someone could explain what i need to do to fix this the same way you'd explain it to a literal child, i'd be incredibly grateful.

When playing the game and connect the controller, the camera starts spinning and all buttons doesn't work; as soon as I disconnect the controller everything turns normal.

I've already tried connecting the usb of the controller, without luck.

My setup is Cachyos, proton cachyos-slr latest version with PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=0 PROTON_LOCAL_SHADER_CACHE=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_PREFER_SDL=1 PROTON_NO_STEAMINPUT=1 WINE_FSYNC_SIMULATE_SCHED_QUANTUM=1 WINE_FSYNC_YIELD_TO_WAITERS=1 game-performance mangohud %command%

I've also tried removing all the proton Environment Variables but nothing.

The controller works perfectly fine with all my other games.

Ideas?

Thanks.

My dad plays slot machines on the betmgm website and I recently set up his home theater with a Linux Mint system and he wanted to try it on that system, does anyone know if it works on Linux? I usually use brave but thats not mandatory or anything. It tries to install a browser plugin but the page 404s. Does anyone have any ideas? Would using a windows web browser in bottles or something work?

Hey I'm experiencing issue pictured here: https://paste.nobaraproject.org/?7a194e1582927523#Eh5D6B6bAxdErVX6sRRRGLhdDVP4URTzurHQvorDpkdw

Textures are flickering on the right bottom side of my screen and I'm clueless on how to fix it. It seems less intensive with FSR4.1 on Native. When i change model quality to low it doesn't happen so I think it has something to do with tessellation

I'm on Nobara Linux with KDE Plasma,

Mesa 26.0.3, Proton GE 10-34

I'm looking to replay some nostalgic Nintendo 64 games from my childhood. Does anyone know if the 8BitDo 64 Controllers work on Arch Linux? I don't want to spend 40 dollars on a controller that might not even work with my system.
