For reference I was using steel hunters for reference. i tried with a much weaker game(master duel) and it was a proper 60 fps, not sure if my pc is just trash(which it should not) or i messed something up

Using steam and proton, game itself runs fine at 60fps just recording is slowww

thx 4 help

Code and binaries are here.

Bad News. Apparently my dead uncle coded more than just video games. I was working with u/Nrezinorn to try to troublehsoot the segfaults, and on my end the troubleshooting tools were working properly for the most part.

I sent him the outputs I got. Well, screen caps of them since they were in a VM, and it seems to him that the game was coded with malware included. I mean, it doesn't make sense to me, since I was allowed to play this game as a kid, unattended at his machines. But at the same time, there was a ton I didnt know about him.

I'll append the images I sent just before Nrezinorn had alarm bells ringing. I have no clue if the malware was added before or after the upload, and I have no clue what it does. THAT SAID, I want to keep this piece of my family history alive no matter what, seeing as I have a promise to keep.

If anybody has an idea as to where I should look for the malicious code, how I should start my search, or wants to look themselves, let me know.

The Repo was reported as malicious to both Github and Sourceforge, and I am going to also message some security researchers, including my local defcon group to see if they would be interested in analyzing it themselves.

If the repo is taken down, I will re-publish it once the malicious code has been removed.

And for those of you who want to download this to check for malware yourself, it's still on github at time of writing.

Hi all, I’m struggling to transfer my game save files for The Last of Us Part II from a Wine prefix to a Proton prefix on my Steam Deck. I installed the game via Heroic and completed the game using Wine but the controls stopped working after a few weeks( I think I might have updated my steamOS or/and wine has been deprecated to support proton GE now). Switching to Proton-GE fixes the controller issue, but I lose my saves and game wants me to start from 0. I need help transferring them without starting over.

We all see a bunch of recommended distro's to use for gaming (Bazzite, Nobara etc). But I was wondering what non recommended distro people game on. Personally I use RHEL 9 for my daily driver at the moment and game just fine on it with NVIDIA driver 575.51.03.

So I'm trying to get Dota 2 to work on linux. I'm on arch and I'm using Wayland. It seems that the Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper) is pretty bad. No matter what launch options I set the game has major framerate issues, with both spikes and just permanent drops. I can run the game in proton, and it seems as though (on the main menu at least) the framerate issues are resolved, however running it on proton seems to upset VAC and won't even let me into bot games.

Has anyone else solved this issue? Is there any way I can get around the VAC verification so that I can just run it in Proton? Thanks.

I am trying to launch stronghold 2 (from steam) on my hyprland arch setup. The game does not work with proton (I tried several versions, there's a different error on each version). However when running the game's exe file with wine, everything just works. I would like for the game to be launchable via steam. Is there anyway to force steam to use wine instead of proton?

On version 9.0-4 I get the error E5020: The 'fx_2_0' target profile is only compatible with the 'fx' target type.

Yo! I just bought the game yesterday and it works surprisingly well on my RX 470 with FSR 2.1 (40-60 fps). The thing is: I saw someone testing the official FSR 3 with Frame Gen on the same card, most likely on Windows, and it was working but when I try to set my game to FSR 3 with any other option than Auto Mode and Frame Gen OFF, the game freezes and I have to restore the settings file/delete it for the default preset.

Do those (the official implementations of FSR 3 and frame gen) work at all under Linux? Am I missing something crucial? I can play without them no problem but I would like to get some insight anyway. Thanks in advance!

I just switched from the GTX1660 to a RX 7800XT, thinking that I would be able to play finally my VR games, ran Blade and Sorcery just fine, but now, in VR chat I have severe issues, the game runs like at 40 FPS stuttering like hell, I had the game run badly before but no matter what I do, the framerate just dies, and I can't get it to run well, also almost seems like the game have this forced VSync state no matter what I change.

Anyone has run into similar issues and found any fixes?

I have installed Mod Manger 2 using this, https://github.com/rockerbacon/modorganizer2-linux-installer but I am running into some issues while trying to install Latest Visual C++ redistributable. It is required for Open Animation Replacer and it cannot find a dll if its not installed it seems. But I setup mod manager and install the VC_redist.x64.exe and after that usually mod manager crashes and starting skyrim does not do anything. Installed it this way following the comment.

Is anyone else having the same/similar issues? Is there a fix or do i just not install VC_redist.x64.exe and ignore mods that require it? I am running cachyos if that matters.

Hello! I don't really use reddit much anymore, but figured I would post this here in the hopes of getting more eyes on this niche.

For some background, besides being a Linux gamer person, I'm very much a Lightgun games enthusiast. So much so that I've ended up in the position of making my own DIY system, and one of my personal goals is to make playing a lot of the Windows games or Winbedded-based Arcade dumps games playable on Linux. You can see my progress documented on this front here, but the point is, most games nowadays works surprisingly great on Linux through Wine (now Proton w/ umu et al)... at least, with one Light gun controller at a time.

For multiplayer support, we primarily rely on DemulShooter - this software hacks in force feedback output, as well as hooking in multi-mouse support. Naturally, being made mainly for Windows-based games, it's a Windows-only application, but so long as a prefix has dotnet20/dotnet35 the app itself basically works fine. But for as long as I remember using this (about the past two years and change?), I could never get DS to "see" my lightguns as selectable devices; it would only ever show the "The Wine Project Wine HID Mouse" and the gamepad slot of my lightgun device (which isn't the desirable end goal, and the axis aren't detected properly anyways). There is also TeknoParrot, a less open option using dotnet46 that includes its own direct mouse device hooking setup, but it's the same story there; only shows "Windows Mouse Cursor" or "The Wine Project HID Mouse".

At least as of GE-Proton10-3, I've noticed some changes were included regarding exposing more HID devices including mice, and with it, DemulShooter would finally show some other non-Wine devices (namely my keyboard and... capture card?) - but even still, it doesn't show any of my lightgun pointers.

In the past few days, I've learned a couple of things that have "helped", but there's still some problems:

• To expose the "raw" HID device, I need to have a udev rule in place that applies MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess" to entries in KERNEL=="hidraw*" with the desired ATTRS{idVendor} to make it accessible(?) to user apps.
• With GE-10+, there is a PROTON_ENABLE_HIDRAW envvar that accepts two settings; 1 to whitelist all devices possible, and an any-char-separated list(?) of 0xVID/0xPID pairs in their native hexadecimal format (and yes, the / slash is important, as I initially thought it would be a comma like what USB ID's typically appear as).

I tested this combination using my normal Logitech G502 mouse (and a udevadm control -R later); with it, DemulShooter crashes due to some overflow error? But TeknoParrot will actually show the Logitech mouse in place of "The Wine Project"'s entry - however, in neither case does this actually allow showing the lightgun device. Since this post is already so long, I'll just link to my findings from here for visual aid.

I feel like there's something very non-obvious I'm missing here, but at this point I'm not sure what. This isn't just in my own interests, for the record - though I make and personally use OpenFIRE, this would also be in the interest of AimTrak, Blamcon, Sinden, and GUN4IR users, and it would be really nice to make it so that Linux+Wine can be used in place of some shitty Windows hard drive preloaded with pirated IPs galore. I've reported this issue to the Wine project to no replies for just under two years now, but I'm not really sure where else to post about this.

I realize I'm just screaming into the void at this point, but I'm honestly just hoping that someone either more knowledgeable about the inner workings of how Wine's hidraw stuff works, a Wine contributor, or Proton contributor could see this and maybe come up with a solution?

When Steam launches, its windows keep popping up and stealing focus. It actually opens several windows that repeatedly focus on themselves one after another.

I tried creating window rules in the KDE settings, but I haven’t been able to create rules that work reliably – they either stop working after a while or are too aggressive and make Steam unusable. If anyone has successfully used these rules, please share them. I’m currently using the Flatpak version of Steam.

I set up a bottles in which I linked the Morrowind launcher.exe from Steam. When I start the game via bottles, the launcher window shows normally. But when I press Play then only a small black window pops up for a split second and closes right away.

I can start the game normally from Steam and it works. I can also launch ModOrganizer 2 and it works. Launching Morrowind from the ModOrganizer results in the same issue mentioned above.

How do I remedy this?

I recently downloaded gog galaxy client in bottels and bought some of the best games ever created like swat4 I see all there games is DRM free from what I see they even have new titles DRM free. Has anyone found a way to get the client a bit less buggy. Will it be better do download the game installers and run the installer in wine?

I decided to reinstall Fall Guys today, and unfortunately it did not work out of the box.

I own the Steam version of the game and while the game does install and launch; I was never able to make it beyond the login screen. I kept getting error code 200_2147483647.

My solution was to install the latest version of Proton-GE, and use that as my compatibility layer. After switching proton versions I can now play the game.

Hopefully an update gets made to vanilla Proton for a more seamless user experience.

I tried turned off Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool for Fall Guys, and the game continues to work. This makes me suspect that the issue is constrained to the initial setup and getting logged into Epic Game Services from the Steam version.

Hey All, I've found myself a little frustrated with Bazzite and need to see if something else will meet my needs.

I'm using an HTPC couch gaming setup. The issue with that of course is the HDMI forums VRR nonsense that goes with the open source drivers. So I can cap my frames, but the issue with that is the frame timings just seem ...jittery when I do this. I can get around it by optimizing for a target frame rate which does help tremendously. But as my system ages I'll eventually need to lower that target frame rate or there may be a games in which the visual clarity is more important to me. And I'll want to lower the frames.

In bazzite the deck overlay menu let's me cap the frames, but I can't adjust my refresh. Ideally I'd cap at the refresh rate I set, helping the frame timings be cleaner. It's odd that I can see it honestly, but I can tell when a frame holds or repeats.

Are there any distros with htpc versions that will seperate these settings?

Hi, one month ago I committed to an overdue upgrade of my system and decided to go with Linux for my new daily driver. I'm a returning user, but I haven't had many good experiences with Linux on the desktop. Nevertheless I decided to give it a go. I'm under no delusion that my system is somehow special, but what I went through is infuriating.

First, my specs and system parameters are as follows:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16 GB
• RAM: TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5 2x16 GB @ 6000 MHz
• MOBO: Gigabyte X870 EAGLE WIFI7
• WM/DE: KDE Plasma v6.3.5 (KWin/X11)
• Distro: EndeavourOS
• Kernel: 6.14.6-zen1-1-zen

I've also installed the following packages, when I initially installed the system:

• mesa 1:25.0.5-1,
• lib32-mesa 1:25.0.5-1,
• xf86-video-amdgpu 23.0.0-2,
• vulkan-radeon 1:25.0.5-1,
• lib32-vulkan-radeon 1:25.0.5-1

I made sure to avoid amdvlk and other problematic drivers. I followed the guide to installing them from lutris.

I then tried running overwatch 2, among us and ultrakill on this system and I've been unable to get even a single one of those to boot more than a handful of time on the best days. That is 1 in rougly 20 attempts. Once Overwatch manages to boot (haven't had much luck with any other games) it actually runs fairly well and does not crash.

My friend also has an arch based system, more or less identical to mine, however he has an NVIDIA gpu and everything for him is a click away. Similarly I've read tons of reviews on protondb from people with AMD based systems on the same distro running without a hitch, so I'm completely lost as to what is the problem.

I've been able to launch wine apps like ltspice without any issues. I'm also positive it may have nothing to do with vulkan, since Team Fortress 2 runs natively using vulkan and I had zero issues with it. I also streamed on OBS using vulkan hardware encoding and I've done some rendering in blender in cycles with HIP on my GPU.

I have no idea what the issue is, no one seems to know either, here's a list of things I tried so far:

• checked different wine versions (now I'm running wine-staging),
• checked every proton version, including proton-ge-custom,
• tried disabling the iGPU in the bios,
• checked all permissions on my drives,
• moved my games and proton to the system drive,
• played with tons of launch parameters for respective games,
• updated drivers and installed 32 bit versions of them,
• checked glibc versions,
• tried wayland,
• upgraded my bios out of sheer desperation,
• tried running with and without gamescope, with and without steam overlay,
• tried different kernels (right now running linux-zen)

I can provide logs that proton shits out, since the DXVK ones don't exist. Games don't get far enough into the boot process to even produce those logs. 99% of the time I don't even see a single window spawning. I see a bunch of wine related processes dancing in the system monitor, but they all die. I can't decipher the logs, because I'm not a programmer, but this has been pretty frustrating 2 weeks of troubleshooting a pretty stock install, minus the wallpaper change.

Am I the only one experiencing this? Are mesa drivers outdated or broken? Is my system somehow possessed? Please help, I'm one step away from giving up and returning to win10.

I can only get the graphics to display anything if I use TAA. I've tried using the latest mesa drivers from the git but nothing changes.

CPU: 5800x3d

GPU: 6900XT

Fedora KDE

Anyone else experiencing this?

More you can find on our r/POLYSTRIKE

I got the game on GOG and i am trying to run it with lutris i installed it but i keep getting this gliched view.
