Not sure what to say. Just wanted to try this e.g. on hogwarts legacy.

Configured everything and added HogwartsLegacy.exe to the list.

Now when I start the game, I got like 40 FPS when multi is on 4x. If I set it to 2x I get 80 FPS... disabled I am like 120 FPS. Ingame scaling + fsr is disabled for testing this plugin

My HW:

i5-12600K

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

RAM: 32GB

Monitor: 3440x1440 @ 165Hz

EndeavourOS

On Niri

Kernel 6.18.4-zen1-1-zen

Mesa 26 git drivers.

Anyone any idea?

Hi, I've moved from Windows to CachyOS about a month ago. I played a bit of modded BG3 before and it all works fine, but when I get to the first cutscene at the Grove, where the Tiefleing and the human are arguing, it always crashes after Zevlor says "you're cowards".
I tried running it without mods (outside two without which game wouldn't even start), the 'gold' and 'network' files have no errors in them, my drivers (GPU is RTX 3070) and kernel are up to date, tried running it without internet access, both DX11 launcher and Vulkan launcher. I'm kind of lost.
To try it without these two mods mentioned above, I would have to start from the beginning, which I'd rather do as a last necessity. I'm using Proton to launch the .exe files, not the linux port, as I heard it's not really stable. What could be the issue?

I want Battle.net to run on startup through Faugus launcher, but I haven't seen an easy way to do this through Faugus settings. For now I have just been opening Faugus and running Battle.net after boot, but... this happening automatically would be nice.

On Debian Unstable.

EDIT: Oh, also, how do I make something launch minimized on Debian? Under other distros, in their Startup launcher, I could go to a tab for a shortcut and Google what command to put in what section of it to make it launch silently. But Debian doesn't have these extra tabs, it is just add or remove programs, no editing.

The list shows the money paid to Nixxes to port playstation titles to PC. Most of the costs are very much unnecessary and could have been reduced tremendously if Sony set Vulkan as their primary API for their game development. It should be absolutely possible since they are using an RDNA2 based GPU.

Back in the days when Google's Stadia didn't land on their famous graveyard of google projects Ubisoft ported Assasin's Creed Odyssey for them from DirectX to Vulkan. It took them a very long time and a lot of money. Here is a presentation about this project back then.:

And now that Sony is porting more and more games to other platforms like the PC and Steam Deck anyway it really doesn't make sense anymore to hold on to their proprietary playstation graphics API. The move would also help their game streaming service in Playstation Plus since other game studios would have less work and costs as well to port their games to that. It could make Sony's platform also way more attractive this way in competition to Microsofts XBox Game Pass.

Even Nintendo offers Vulkan and OpenGL support for their Switch despite being known to be very restrictive. But they seem to recognize that Game Development can happen way faster if they adopt an industry wide standard like Vulkan which makes cross platform gaming easier be it on a cloud streaming server or on a local device. Also a lot of Graphics Engines rely on Vulkan and OpenGL which many Game Studios use.

Due to remarkable hardware performance gains in the mobile sector the latter comes closer and closer to stationary game devices and to the PC in terms of visual appearance. Who would have thought some years ago it would be possible to port titles like Star Wars Outlaws to the Switch 2 including ray tracing and only consuming 10 Watts with minor quality cutbacks.

On Linux we got DXVK and VKD3D. But as a reminder those mean an additional layer which means more unecessary work, time and cost to make games compatible which otherwise could run just natively at least in terms of the graphics API.

It costs us Linux Gamers in special a lot of unnecessary trouble, time waste due to adjustments and customization steps. But probably the biggest advantage for Linux Gamers would be that Games would run way better on Nvidia GPUs too. Currently we are still wating for Nvidia to work on a fix for the known performance issue in DX12 titles on VKD3D.

Attempting to run Skull and Bones for an event I am a part of for a friends Twitch Stream in a few hours. Made the full switch to Zorin OS this morning, after much headache and help from various linux communities.

When I launch the game it updates some things, then just stops and never launches. Have tried Proton Hotfix and Proton Experimental.

On plasma I'm not sure if wayland or X11 is better for this...

So, I'm new to that stuff and I have a rather special, maybe complicated plan?

I want my PC to stay connected to my monitor(s) and to my TV, but make it so that the PC acts like a console only on TV and like a regular desktop on the other monitors.

Want it to work like this:

When TV starts and linux recognizes it it should open Steam big picture mode ONLY on the desktop designated to the TV, so it never even feels like a desktop at all, but just like a steam based console / media center. All apps opened from there should stay there like in an isolated work space, I guess? Ideally it would also shut off all apps from there once the TV is shut off. Is it possible to automatize this without way too much fuzz?

Hi guys. I'm newbie on linux OS. Currently using zorin os 18.

I was wondering if there is any software similar to msi afterburner. To control fans and overclock?

Thank you guys in advance.

I've been playing over the last 3 months without problem at 160 fps, but after the latest update it runs trashly at ~20. Changing to dx12 "solves" the problem, but it has a insuportable stutter problem.

Question: Is there a specific libata or pcie flag to stabilize this KingSpec controller, or is this a known firmware conflict with Linux? Windows on the NVMe drive works perfectly.

Hello everyone !

I wanted to try War Thunder on Linux, and it works perfectly well on my setup .
My only problem is ... I like to play War Thunder with some mods (GuP voices and skins), i have been doing this for years, but it seems mods don't work on native Linux Steam ... So i tried several Proton tools, but they all end up the same way ...
The game launches, mods seem to work fine, but when i launch a game (even test drive), the game crashes ...
Does anyone had this issue ?

The game is perfectly playable without those, but it doesn't feel the same ...

Also, i install the mods the same way i do on Windows, and maybe that's not the correct way to do it on Linux (don't know ...)
I have an i7-7700k CPU

24G RAM

OC RTX3050 (8G)

Thanks

I installed hyrland with arch, and cant launch csgo. When i install the legacy beta and launch, normal cs2 opens with no option to run csgo instead.

My android mobile model is Samsung a 14. 1 day after connecting and played with a gamepad my mobile just stopped working,I gave it for service,they told me that they need to change the I.C in my mobile. It could be a coincidence bcoz i drop my mobile often.Can someone tell me if it is possible for a gamepad to damage my MOBILE?

Hi I'm playing with Bazzite for home made steam machine in my living room

So as I use it 99% from the couch with my controller this is a very important issue to me Also because I've started using Unifydeck and there's the install button that only works clicking it with the mouse

I used to use it but now the steam button + rt it's not working anymore I can still move the mouse using steam button + analog right but no luck with the click

Any help? Thank you in advance for your help 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I am currently having issues with steam creating libraries on Zorin OS. I enjoyed Zorin on my laptop so I figured I would make the switch to desktop. Ive gone full clean install including my nvme and hard disk drives that I specifically use for games.

Steam is not allowing me to create a library on the nvme drive. It just wont. I have an event on a game in four hours that I promised I would be a part of (friend is a twitch streamer) and I'd really like to get this going ASAP!

Any help would be appreciated

I like to monitor my temps in the background while I game. I found an application called Psensor that has the min/max/current values for few sensors, but even after running sensors detect it only shows tctl, tdie, Ram usage, cpu usage, gpu core, hotspot, and vram. I used OCT to do some benchmarking and it has far more sensors showing. Is there anything that will show all of them in a table with min/max/current and possibly average?
