I am trying to install Anno1800 on Lutris installed on my kali linux. I installed the setup.exe but after that even when i configure the launcher the game does not start. Ia there any good documentation how to ibstall akd setup everything?

Is there any way that this is possible? I don't want to have to buy the entire game again on Steam, and also probably lose all my data. I quit using Windows 11 since an update completely screwed over my computer, but I was previously using the Xbox app to install Forza 5, since I already owned it on Xbox. Any way to do this?

Hello,

I am fairly new to Linux gaming. Sorry if this a stupid question, but I know no one that could otherwise help me.

While some games start and work very smooth, I recently tried to play "Deep Rock Galactic", which gave me the Error "wine: could not load kernel32.dll, status c000012f" via the console. I tried many Proton versions and running DX11/DX12 but to no avail.
According to "apt update" all packages are up to date.
The game is rated "Platinum" on ProtonDB with many users quoting it to work out of the box.

This is the whole terminal message:

I use Kubuntu 25.10 (Questing Quokka) x86_64, have a recent AMD Graphics card and use Steam/Proton for games. The game is on the Linux ext4 formatted main drive.

ChatGPT told me to start Steam via "STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam" which lead to new errors, me installing some packages via apt, and then other errors but ultimatively i think this is a meaningless sidequest.

I know that there is an app called "winetricks" but I am not sure if it will help me, as I never installed wine but only Steam.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I game on CachyOS (Linux) with an RTX 4060 OC and I’m getting great performance, but I wanted to know what Windows users are actually getting with the same GPU at 1440p.

Hi guys. I am currently using omarchy and I was playing Dying light (1st part). But then in game I had various issues in input using keyboard , like when I try to sprint using shift+w then it stutters and walk slowly and when we have to hold a key it just don't complete its cycle , I don't know why. First I thought it was my keyboard problem but it was not🥲

Just like the title. I'm using Proton Experimental. Tried every other Proton there is, even ProtonGE.

The game runs flawlessly in windowed mode, the only mode is that it is a small portion of my window. If I try to set it to fullscreen or exclusive fullscreen it freezes. If I try to increase the window size my dragging the corner of the window, it freezes, and funny detail: sometimes it crashes my GPU, so I have to hard restart my PC.

There is no log because there is not a crash, it only freezes forever, stuck in the last frame of the game.

Can someone help me?

Launch steam with the CLI option -dev and you'll find the section in the Settings menu.

I'm just curious if anyone has any context for what Valve's planning there.

I've been playing on Linux, Bazzite, for over two weeks now, and I'm loving it! :D I've heard here and there that Nvidia performs worse compared to an AMD GPU on Linux. Of course, I have no idea if this is the case and 'how much worse' my RTX 4090 is compared to the current top dog from AMD, the RX 9070XT under Linux - or at all..

It sounds, and perhaps is, silly, but is it "worth it" to switch? I have had no problems with my 4090 until now, but I'm a bit worried about Nvidia's brilliant idea of the 12VHPWR cable more and more for some reason. I know the RX 9070XT is no 4K card (which is my resolution on my TV until I purchased a 1440p Monitor) and in that area, AMD has nothing to compete.

Can anyone say anything about this? Or perhaps, has anyone got/bought a Switch and can tell a bit about it?

Hi, guys, would someone help, please?

https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/valve-recommends-sharing-your-game-library-on-sd-card-between-steam-deck-steam-frame-and-steam-machine/

sounds like a great feature, install games on removable storage and switch them seamlessly between devices!

going to assume this works with proton too but does it need the same account or would family sharing be ok?

I don't want to deal with Xbox's lack of upstream kernel support and side-installing Xone driver, or other similar issues for different vendors. I just want to vote with my wallet for first-class Linux kernel support.

Are there any good wireless controllers, preferably non-bluetooth (2.4GHz dongle is just more reliable), which have support in upstream mainline kernel? I know the new Steam Controller is coming but I don't want to wait for it. And I want controller to work without Steam Input as I do have a bunch of games outside of steam (eg: GOG and EGS through Heroic Game Launcher).

Nicer features like gyro, hall effect thumb sticks, adaptive triggers would be nice. Specifically gyro -- I've never used gyro myself -- is gyro good for Linux gaming ?

I can't play any of the online modes because AntiCheat doesn't want to work. I have read that people are playing the online modes just fine but I keep hitting this wall. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this.

I can play offline just and the game hasn't crashed on me yet. So it's not a problem with the game per se.

Issue: Screen freezing followed by black screen, display port disconnects then reconnects, graphics reset notification (only appeared after the first few times I tried fixing this). Steam is either closed or open in the background using only 12-20% cpu usage (likely from the process or EAC not being closed fully).

[I have this posted somewhere else, but I reposted this in this subreddit and someone got snappy about the way I had formatted my post, so this will be the cleanest way I will be posting this, if you don't like that I put my specs or issue first before I get into my explanation then too bad for you I guess, you can disregard this if you don't care about any extra clues that might help with figuring this out.]

Explanation: To start off, my temps are normal, and my clock speeds don't go over a certain GHz/MHz, so it's not an issue where it spikes my clocks and causes the hang, but what I noticed when I was using mangohud is that specifically my cpu wattage instantly drops to 0.0. Other than that, there is no other displayed information when it comes to usage/temps, everything is normal there. I did however find out with looking into my journal deeper, that it might be related to my clocks (although this issue is not able to be replicated on Windows), so the only other issue is either proton or RADV, so the person that did recommend me to see if it was a ring error, I looked deeper and found that to be confirmed true. Although, I have updated my kernel, mesa graphics driver, and amdgpu firmware with cachyos and the Cachy-Update package. I can only think it could be tied to my clock speeds, as I mentioned my gpu has a factory overclock, and my cpu has its max cpu ghz possible, so it's always running a boosted clock at 4.2-4.3 GHz. If it has to do with overclocking, which I know is a known issue with Halo Infinite, generally doesn't like overclocking and will crash at any chance it gets, but with the ring issue also having an illegal opcode error AND "gfx_0.0.0 timeout" suggests my drivers as well as my hardware. On top of that, "vkd3d_queue" which can also be a possibility tied to proton, if anyone wants me to post the entire log I will post it in the comment requesting it. Currently I have tried everything else and to not mess with anything other than launch commands so far but to no avail, if anyone has any knowledge of an actual fix, and maybe just outright call me an idiot, because I generally feel too lazy to actually downgrade drivers for one game. This turned more into a rant than a general explanation but hopefully it helps!

Let me start by saying I'm not new to Linux, I have used it way back with red hat, fedora, mandrake, Ubuntu and decided I liked Ubuntu the best. It's the gaming part I never thought would be possible.

First what distro would you recommend I should use that's more geared towards gaming? 2nd, I might get some hate but I'm a controller player, I either use an Xbox elite 2 or a PS5 dual sense controller. Would it be simple as plugging them in or do I need to install anything to get them to work? Lastly is there a PS5 remote play app for Linux? Thanks in advance

I have used Linux (Mint back in 2019 on an old laptop) before and really enjoyed it. I have a gaming PC and it seems most of my games per the proton page are gold or better. I am leery about swapping my gaming laptop to a linux gaming distro and am wondering about everyone's experience with gaming on linux.
