I have tried multiple times to select the steam executable on Ubuntu Linux but I can't find out how to run the executable as administrator because I have sudo preveliges but still won't work and I have reinstalled steam entirely to see if it fixes the issue but still won't work does anyone know how to fix this (app I am using that wants the executable is r2modman)

I know DCS isn’t officially supported on Linux, but I’m hoping someone who’s been through this might point me in the right direction.

I’m running DCS via Proton with my VR headset (I’ll attach a short video showing the issue). The weird thing is that VR works perfectly fine in every other game, smooth tracking, no delay, no stutter at all.

But the moment DCS launches, the headset camera starts shaking like crazy, with extreme jittering that makes it completely unplayable. As soon as I close the game, everything goes back to normal and VR works fine again system-wide.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any idea what could cause this? Could it be related to motion reprojection, drivers, or SteamVR/OpenXR settings?

Any help or pointers would be hugely appreciated

My setup:

OS: Arch Linux (Wayland + KDE Plasma 6)

GPU: RX 7800 XT (using amdgpu driver)

CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X3D

VR Headset: Quest 3s via SteamVR and ALVR (both Link Cable and Wi-Fi Link with same problem)

Proton: Proton-GE 10-10

Whenever I try to download any game on this HDD, it reserves space, then stops at around 30% then shows me an error saying “disk write error” I am currently on Ubuntu, help is appreciated, thanks!

Getting sick of the ntfs-3g fuse driver bc of how slow it is. But why I'm still using the fuse driver is because ntfs3 keeps corrupting the ntfs partitions for some reason. Even using windows_names in the fstab during auto-mount. I've read a couple of articles and people say that the only way a drive can get corrupted is due to force shutdowns, which didn't happen at all in my case. I've always made sure the drives are gracefully unmounted before a shutdown. But still the corruption happens. I don't make prefixes in the ntfs partition since i know windows doesn't like having incorrect file names / file types and some symlinks. Anyone know a way of doing this?

to clarify immediately i've already tried reformating my drives to btrfs, but there are still games that run better on windows due to nvidia's bad performance, and i don't trust the btrfs windows driver since i've seen that it could mess up the filesystem which even fsck can't fix

TL;TR is there a correct way to use ntfs3, to mount drives without it corrupting the filesystem every time i boot into windows (where i have to run chkdsk)

I recently switched to Linux Mint and I have issues: every time I start CS2 natively it crashes on loading screen but when I start it using proton VAC has problem with me. Please help

I just installed Mint and since I play a lot of Roblox, I tried joining in and whenever i join a game the mouse has some delay and isnt sliding as I would in windows and it moves weirdly (I play Forsaken so doing generators is borderline impossible) HELP!!

Hey guys,

maybe someone could help me, because i'm kinda lost:

I am on Fedora 43 Workstation and found the Faugus Launcher recently. I love the simplicity of this so much!

Anyway...Installed Battle.net on it, logged in and so far so smooth. But when I change my virtuell Desktop (Gnome, so gotta do that sometimes) the battlenet launcher always closes and even the game shuts down also when i want to switch back to the desktop.

Tested this within Lutris too, but somehow on Lutris this doesnt happen at all.

Could this be a Faugus-Launcher bug?

Hello

I’d like to buy a pair of IEMs to “replace” my headphones, which flatten my hair too much after long periods of use. I have no knowledge about it, and I have a €100 budget for this Black Friday.

In terms of main specifications, I’m looking for something with:

1. Lots of imaging for FPS games
2. Good overall listening quality (music, movies, podcasts, single‑player games, etc.)
3. Excellent isolation (better than a closed‑back headset if possible)

I’d also like a popular model so I can find an audiophile profile for Equalizer APO. If you need any more information to advise me, feel free to ask.

So I tried used an 8BitDO ultimate bluetooth controller, both wired and bluetooth, and it will not be recognized by Mint and therefore Steam. I checked some of the various posts already made about this issue but I did not see anything with a clear resolution. I am fine playing with the controller wired or bluetooth, I don't care either way. I just want it to work again like it did last week.

Thanks

I'm trying to play DCS (digital combat simulator) with Nobara KDE/lutris (tested also with cachy). I have VKB T-rudder pedals and gunfighter joystick in the same black box. The problem is that rudder works but wrongly. Axis range goes only from 0-100 and the middle point is 50 when it should be -100 - 100. So if I put full left rudder game thinks its in the middle and so on. Joystick works just ok with correct range -100 - 100.

I’ve done this in the past on windows where it was more obvious and could just be found within user’s documents inside the EA folder under sims. I am aware that adding a windows game as a non steam game on steam essentially creates folders that simulate the windows.

I’m just kinda lost and don’t know where to even start looking. Also in case it matters I’m on a steam deck.

Hey! I posted about this a couple of days ago, and i think i figured it out. I enabled in the steam overlay, to show gpu/cpu usage and fps and this type of things, and when it freezes, turns out, that my RAM is maxed out! While playing the game, my gpu and cpu handle everything, 60-70%, and about 65-70C both of them. When i installed Linux Mint, i didnt make a "RAM folder" or idk how it is called. Can that be a problem?

I heard many different things about Linux, that it gives more FPS in games, I heard that it always gives worse fps, some said the fps is only worse if there is wine or proton, and a lot said that linux gives similiar or better fps, I dont know wich one is true.

Hi guys,
I'm working on a tool that lets you map macros to Razer mice on Linux.

(It also lets you remap other devices with a bit of configuration/editing)

I'm looking for a couple of testers with different mouse models.
Right now it only works reliably on a couple models because every Razer model exposes its side buttons on different input files.

I want to expand compatibility to as many Razer mice as possible, but that means I need people with different devices to test and confirm which input files work.

Testing takes a couple minutes:

Clone the repo
Build it
Try the event files until the side buttons register
Send back which one worked, and your mouse model

Full instructions for testing and adding compatibility are here:

Thanks !

NEED URGENT HELP....

The last time i played Genshin Impact was a week or two before the 6.0 update and it was perfectly fine. I tried to update the game recently but the Hoyoplay launcher was giving me trouble so I uninstalled it and tried to install it again, but I keep getting this Wine program error. I've updated wine, my system and graphic drivers hoping something might fix it somehow but I still get this. The game itself launches fine when launching it directly but won't log in because it's outdated and I need the Hoyo launcher to update to recent update. Any help fixing this?

This is my PC spec
RTX 3060 12 GB
Intel I9 and 32GB RAM with NvMe and SSD for storage

I am using linux mint. I have installed latest Nvidia drivers .

So I have switched from windows to linux and its been almost a month. Till now I have had no issues with most of the games I play since they are not graphically heavy on the system. I have tried CP2077 on Heroic and it works like a charm and much better than on windows.

My problem comes is with Steam the performance and FPS drops.
I have played Age of empires 2 DE on windows (same PC) had no major issue apart from network problems. But with linux its worse the game starts normally the problem comes is when there are multiple units in one game (same true for SP with AI and MP). Once the threshold increase the game lag and it becomes a PPT slide show. I saw some post saying to turn ON Vsync but it if does not help.

Second I reinstalled KCD 2 just to prepare for DLC coming out next week and notice the game functions normally but when i get into combat or cut scene the FPS drops and the NPC lags. I cant see the attacks coming in. It playable but its annoying compared to my previous experience.

I saw a lot of comments previously that Nvidia is got good for Linux gaming but is my only option to change GPU to AMD? Has someone figured out a solution for this?

Again the games are playable but its not that as smooth as it was on windows. I strongly believe its not hardware issue but something i did wrong.
