LeShade - A ReShade manager for linux

14. Februar 2026 - 05:35

About two month ago I've made a post about my last tool Reshade Installer. Even my previous post started this way because I started the project about 3 or 4 month ago... well never mind this.

I have completed re-writed the program and now it's called LeShade, it's not just a ReShade installer, but a ReShade manager, now it covers this features:

  • Common APIs support (DX9, DX10, DX11, DX1/Vulkan, OpenGL)
  • Direct3D 8.x support
  • ReShade with addon and non-addon versions
  • ReShade with release versions support
  • Uninstall ReShade per game basis from previous installations
  • Many shaders repositories

If you guys want to download and contribute, just go to the repo.
I hope this would be helpful to someone.

Also, I've made a youtube video about it (don't mind the accent, I was whacked): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge8558huYfE

The Sober distribution for Roblox isn't working correctly, and I can't figure out why. (The picture goes along with the description.)

14. Februar 2026 - 04:52

So, I came home Wednesday, and Sober needed an update, so I updated it like it should be, but all it's doing after updating is showing the picture showed, yet it works fine, but for some reason I can't type, like in search bars, or even to log in. Could someone please help me here, this is my only way to play roblox as of current. I'm running off of Debian, and wayland, if needed I can get more info.

Beholder 3 missing dll issue

14. Februar 2026 - 04:16

Has anyone managed to run Beholder successfully under Linux recently?

If yes, how?

I'm using Arch Linux, Wayland and KDE and running on Steam.

I tried Proton experimental, Proton hotfix, GE Proton 10, Proton 9, Proton 7.

I tried checking logs, validating game files, installing vcrun22 using protontricks.

I also tried running border less and with a new save file.

Every singe time, I've getting this window:

And I am unable to transition between floors, or moving by clicking with the mouse. I haven't tested much for other issues though.

I remembered that game and I want to finally finish it.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Weird issues with Cyberpunk and RT on 1080p

14. Februar 2026 - 03:45

When I start the game I get about 70-90 FPS with XeSS on auto and RT on Ultra. After a few minutes the performance drops to 5-9 FPS. Anyone also have this issue? I cannot for the life of me understand why this is happening. Having seen some benchmarks online I was excited to play the game with RT.

Currently on Native resolution with no RT and I get 90+ FPS. Is thos an issue on my part. I tried both the latest Proton GE and Proton 10. Neither seemed to fix the issue. Steam properties are only gamemoderun %command%.

Space Marine 2: CachyOS Massive Frame Drops

14. Februar 2026 - 03:00

Like the title says. Latest kernels and drivers. Using the CachyOS native proton version (tried several different and this was the bst).

Basically my experience is this: I can get a liquid smooth 60fps with the right settings but - fairly randomly, if it's not random I'm not sure what's causing them - my FPS will absolutely crater then recover.

My temps are perfect, my RTX 2070 is at full usage - although INTERESTINGLY, when the frame drops happen, the GPU usage drops hard to maybe 10-20%, something similar happens in the loading menus too.

I've tried all sorts of things to fix this, eg enabling disabling rebar / c-state in BIOS, driver updates, everything.

I think the game just either runs well on your system or it doesn't.

Is this a well known problem and does anyone have a solution? Other than the random drops it runs very well.

How do I install skin mods and other mods in Left 4 Dead 2 Versus on Linux?

14. Februar 2026 - 01:55

I'm using Garuda Linux and the mods aren't working for me with the traditional methods.

Normally on Windows it's possible with the Steam program file Left 4 Dead 2 Authoring Tools, which is called vpk.exe, and we already know how to do that. I also tried putting the mod in the Left 4 Dead root directory and in GameInfo and all that, but when I join a versus match, the mods aren't visible and it's like the default.

Has anyone who's been able to add mods to versus matches in Left 4 Dead 2 helped me?

Issues with Bazzite install

14. Februar 2026 - 01:43

I recently jumped from windows 11 to Bazzite after a love hate relationship between both windows and Linux distros, Bazzite has proven to be a headache, especially with random freezes on desktop and incredibly slow game boot times, is this a typical issue? Or am I in a borked install?

I want to give Linux a chance again but overall it’s just eating too much time compared to windows at this point.

Any advice is appreciated I’m still fairly new to it all.

Hardware;

16 x AMD Ryzen 7 8 core

32 gigs of ram

Nvidia GeForce rtx 3060

Software;

Bazzite 43 (Nvidia edition)

KDE Plasma 6.5.5

Wayland

Does steam have the authority/influence/power to force publishers to turn off Kernel AC for linux users??

14. Februar 2026 - 01:30

steam already does 99% of the legwork regarding Linux compatibility and the only major drawback is some online games just don't work in Linux.

steam seems to demand more and more things from developers in the name of consumer-friendly practices, could steam do this in the future? should it??

Most Games not Working on Linux Mint

14. Februar 2026 - 01:12

My computer got bricked by a windows 10 bug. I was told by a friend (and reassured by ProtonDB from @bdefore) that most if not all my steam games could be played on linux. Despite this, most of the games I downloaded fail to start, most without an error message. CK3, Obra Dinn, Shipbreaker (Hardspace), Outer Wilds, and Deep Rock Galactic.

I got Psychonauts to work and play the first cutscene, but crashes after the second played cutscene.

Obra Dinn is the only one to have a crash report. If you can't tell, I'm not certain about most technical data, so I'm not comfortable sharing data that might reveal a vulnerability. One line of the report was concerning; "Read from location 00000010 caused an access violation"

DRG does have a pop-up when it crashes. The Message stated "A D3D11-compatible GPU (Feature Level 11.0, Shader Model 5.0) is required to run the engine." I don't know what that is, and I had no problem with current GPU w/ Windows. I have a GTX 1060 3GB and I've downloaded 535 NVidia Driver (or at least I think I did). I'm pretty certain from what I've research that my GPU is D3D11 compatible.

Some games do work, and I have no idea why; Door Kickers 2, Wolfenstein New Order, and Silksong (unfortunately).

Needless to say, I'm very disappointed. Is there anything I should have done beforehand to get steam to work? here are my specs;

PC Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd., Model: GA-78LMT-USB3 6.0

CPU: AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor, 4k MHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB/PCIe/SSE2, VRAM: 3072 MB

RAM: 7918 Mb

Can't get certain games to boot while Nvidia is primary gpu?

13. Februar 2026 - 23:48

I'm very new to gaming on Linux, but I am already pulling my hair out after hours of troubleshooting. I installed Mint on my MSI laptop which has an Intel i7 and hybrid Nvidia RTX 2070. I tried to install and run Satisfactory via Steam and it would boot up but ran like molasses (single digit FPS). Did some digging and found that my Nvidia drivers would not load due to SecureBoot, so I turned that off and reinstalled the 535 driver and forced Nvidia as primary.

Now Satisfactory will not even get past the splash screen no matter what Proton version I try, or with any combination of launch options. I can switch back to Intel UHD and boot the game in molasses form, but even with a launch option to try and force Nvidia use while gaming, it does nothing to help.

Am I missing some important step to get Proton/UE4 games to work with a hybrid Nvidia chip? Any help would be appreciated.

I wanted to mess around with the BG3 toolkit but in needs me to tell it where BG3 is on the filesystem, problem is it's in a folder hidden to the toolkits proton instance and all symlinks I try to make are also hidden to proton it seems. Any advice?

13. Februar 2026 - 23:47

Getting a piece of software on a proton instance to be able to see parts of the filesystem is proving difficult, I'm not sure if the issue is permissions or that proton doesn't support the use of symlinks in this way. guess an option is to run chmod but I feel that should be a last resort after I've exhuasted all other options.

Cannot connect online specifically in games using Proton Experimental compatibility?

13. Februar 2026 - 22:38

In the main Steam settings under Compatibility, the Steam default proton compatibility tool is set to Proton Experimental. I forgot if that was what it was set to as default when on a new Steam installation. What does everyone else have it set to?

When it is set to Proton Experimental, connecting online in-game to any game and it's servers fails for me for some reason. Changing to a different proton version connects fine and everything works normally.

Proton Experimental does work fine in running and playing games, just it does not seem to connect to what ever online service or server a game is using.

Just wanted to check if anyone else have this issue with Proton Experimental or is there something not right with my system?

Display FPS with Radeon?

13. Februar 2026 - 22:15

How to display Frames Per Second if I have AMD Radeon GPU? I don't see it in the FAQ and on the wiki. Is this because everyone uses Steam and you only display Frames Per Second with steam overlay? I have some games bought from GOG.
