Im running steam with proton 9.0, I tried diffrent newer and older versions but it gave a simmilar result. I tried launch options PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1, PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1, -window-mode exclusive. My native screen resolution is 1366x768 and yes I updated my system and my geforce 920m drivers are up to date. I got it to work on "Nvidia on demand" mode but it ran horribly and as soon as I switched to performance mode it gave me this error. The only thing that changed when I was tinkering with it is the resolution mentioned in the error. I even tried to change my display to the resolutions it was trying and failing to switch to but that also failed.

I have recently just installed delta forces, not to play but to get the discord quest done on my linux machine, but there was a problem, it would keep logging me out if I just ran delta forces and like a few other apps like dead cells and went back to delta forces, it would just log me out and when I come back I would get like graphical issues like these:

Full sudo dmesg log

And on each time I did this it would get worse and worse, I already did the discord quest so I have just uninstalled it, but the graphical glitches remain and the app even crashes after the glitches, so if you guys know why this happens and also a fix for it, I would appreciate it if you would help me out.

And also the issue where gnome just logs me out sometimes when I'm running a few apps or just randomly while playing a game.

Hello guys,

I have a 2021 Asus G15 GA503. Rtx3070, R9 5900HS, 16GB ram

I heard that the usb c ports are directly wired to the dGPU. So I ordered a usb-c to displayport cable to get some more frames.

What I recently noticed is that performance is way worse. Running the finals on my laptop monitor gets me ~80fps whilst running on my external monitor ~55-60fps. Even running through hdmi was better.

Which is super weird since running the monitor directly off the dGPU is supposed to give you a performance boost.

I tested this in real time by just moving the game window between the monitors. As soon as the game is displayed on the external monitor the FPS tank.

Has anyone else noticed or solved this?

Running CachyOS KDE.

I switched to Linux (Fedora 42) a few weeks ago and I love it so far, it just feels nicer to use compared to Windows. I'm pretty new to using Linux for gaming, I've only used it on laptops for simple tasks and work. However, one of the games I play the most (Overwatch 2) has been having issues where the whole desktop crashes and I have to log back in and reopen everything. I haven't done much extensive testing with other games, but RDR2 seems to run fine. It's been a huge problem since it'll happen in the middle of competitive matches, by the time I rejoin the match some of my other teammates have left and I end up losing or worse, get a suspension for abandoning the match.

I've been thinking maybe my GPU is dying or something, but I really hope that's not the case because I barely got it at the end of last year. What I'm worried about is that maybe it is and if it does crash outside of games, I just haven't experienced it yet.

This morning I tried adjusting my fan curves in the BIOS in case if the GPU is overheating (was running in quiet mode), disabling CSM and enabling 4G Decoding + ReBAR after I forgot to; but I haven't been able to test it yet. I've also read that Overwatch has issues with Proton, apparently ProtonGE works better but I haven't installed it yet.

If I play Genshin on Linux, will my account get banned?
I am fed up with Windows updates — the latest one degrades SSD/HDD performance, and the previous version makes my CPU run 10°C hotter 😭😭

Here's my computer's specs running bazzite atm:

Operating System: Bazzite 42

KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.4

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0

Qt Version: 6.9.1

Kernel Version: 6.15.9-106.bazzite.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core Processor

Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (31.0 GiB usable)

Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT

Manufacturer: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.

Product Name: MS-7D75

System Version: 1.0

But I kinda just prefer Linux Mint's look and feel of everything when I gave that one a try on an old minicomputer I still have lying around. KDE Plasma doesn't feel quite as polished. And I know bazzite also has a GNOME version, but when I tried out a GNOME version of a different distro a year or two ago, I wasn't really vibing with the customization options.

But then again, I do make use of VRR on bazzite, and from my knowledge, Linux Mint doesn't have that out of the box yet.

I got a wheel (that I might return because of a problem with some buttons and change for a Logitech G29) and it works just as well on linux and windows, or almost, the only difference yet is that specifically forza horizon 5 works with the wheel, even the gearbox does, but not the force feedback, and I have been searching online but I cannot find people talking much about it, only some people saying they got it working so it seems it should work. Did anybody got it it working, and how?

I am on Nobara with hyprland (but I also have KDE installed in case hyprland is a problem, somehow) and the wheel is the Mars Gaming MWH-RSX, and I have used both proton experimental and proton GE 10-13

I'm running hollow knight through Steam on Ubuntu but when launching the game I get "There should be 'HK_Data' folder next to the executable".

Looking at the files there is, HK.exe and HK_Data.

For some reason it isn't detecting the folder. Any idea why?

So I just found out Xbox Remote Play works straight from the browser now and wow… this feels like such a quality of life upgrade. No app, no setup just open a tab and boom, I’m playing my Xbox remotely.

Tried a couple of games and the experience is surprisingly smooth, almost the same as using the app.

Anyone else been using it? Curious how it’s running for you guys.

So my pc ran mhw relatively fine. I caught up to the endgame so I left it and now that ive come back to it I can see that it no longer launches. Ive tried the .dll replacements and the various versions of proton from 10 - 8 and the bleeding edge and GE 9.7, but the game just wont launch. I tried a fresh reinstall too. Looking at proton db It seems like im doing something wrong just not sure what.

I'm pretty new to linux and I'm not the best with terminals and code either. So please explain whatever advice/comments you have like u would to someone who doesnt know much pls. Thanks in advance!

Before I begin, I apologize for any spelling mistakes, as I am a French Canadian.

Hi i need help bc, I just deleted Windows 11 from my gaming PC because I'm really interested in gaming on Linux.

And I'm getting bugs without having installed Nvidia thing, and since then Steam games have been working great except for Sober, which keeps crashing. I've searched everywhere, etc., but nothing works. I even tried the command: flatpak update, and it just displays: Nothing to do.

And here are the screenshots.

Error i got

The command

Please note that I know there are specialized Linux distributions for gaming, such as Bazzite OS, but I prefer to stick with Linux Mint for now.

and note that even before I installed the Nvidia thing, Sober was working but it was lagging a lot.

does anyone have a decent way to use this in Linux? I'm raiding ultimates and kind of need Alisaile's mom IYKWIM. But having to use Windows is killing my soul (literally I think)

Been using Boosteroid for a while for the price, but want to change a bit. I don't wanna pay 20€ for GeForce Now, but around 10 is fine. Any recommendations?

Which one do you prefer?

I've tried to get DiRT 2 working on my Linux Mint machine, but the only sources I could find for it were pre-installed, not installers, and trying to get them working with Lutris and PlayOnLinux haven't been working. I also could not find a tutorial for getting games working when they are pre-installed.

Got bored at work and this idea popped in my head. Has anyone tried it?

at first the installer didnt work i had to install it on a windows machine then copie the game files to linux the campaign worked fine but zombie no. any help? (lutris)

To use the same startup options as Steam, it is better to put them in the arguments or in the environment variables?

While researching, I saw that some places show to put it in variables and others to put it in arguments, I ended up getting a bit confused.

My current controller is dying (xbox one pc controller). And I'm looking for its new replacement. I'm looking for a controller that works on linux, but so far I've read contradictory information for various controllers about linux compatibility.

What I'm looking for:

• xinput type controller.
• Works without steaminput.
• Not too small. My hands are not enormous, but a bit large. I've read that the new xbox controllers are smaller than they used to be. Same goes for the 8bitdo (ultimate type) controllers, they seem to be on the smaller side, which I fear might be uncomfortable. The xbox one controller size and shape is great.
• Wireless is not a necessity. I'm not against it, but it's not the most important factor.
• I'm on Fedora (in case that matters)
• Plug and play would be better, but not necessary.
• Importantly, it needs to work without having to update firmware or using software via Windows. I don't have a Windows machine nor partition, and I don't want to use a VM just for that (and would rather avoid having to use Wine just for that).
• Hall effect / TMR would be nice.

From what I've gathered: 8bitdo ultimate might be too small. New xbox controller seems a bit too small, no hall effect, and sometimes requires updates via windows, so this is not good. Not sure about the Gamesir g7 controllers: some people seem to have issues on linux and some people mention needing to use windows software, they do seem nice otherwise.

Usage: steam games, some games outside of steam, and some amateur gamedev with Godot.

Any ideas, recommendations, feedbacks?
