I'm new to linux, I'm trying to move away from windows. I'm using mint cinnamon and I tried downloading and running monster hunter world and elden ring nightreign, none of them works. MHW gets to the capcom screen on proton 9 and then crashes and nightreign just closes after the anti cheat screen. I'm really lost on what to do, I don't wanna go back to windows, but I am getting a bit tired.

I'm not sure if its my OS (I am on Ubuntu) or my computer specs but Dispatch runs terribly on my PC and I don't know what it is. Can anyone let me know if they have had similar problems or if they know a fix? All feedback is appreciated.

There are tools like wine, winboat and virtual box that translate or even emulate operating systems or add some kind of translation layer.

Why haven't we achieved the simulation of the kernel, so games like league or bf6 can be run on Linux machines?

How do we feel about Steam saying you can play your whole Steam Library on Steam OS? To me it sounds like a follow up to their promise of talking to game developers for Anti Cheat support on linux.

Of course I could just be completely misreading this statement as something more than it is. But, with the new Linux market bump from the Steam Machine, I feel companies may be pressured by players or potentially dwindling numbers.

What do we think? All in all, another W for linux I'd say

With the new reveals of the Steam Hardware line up, namely the Steam Machine. Does this increase the odds of more anti cheat support in the future?

Hello everyone! I had a bug while running the Black Myth Wukong benchmark on my Lenovo Legion pro 5 using PoP! Os 22.

The bug was that I could not enable DLSS frame generation because it said "You have to enable hardware acceleration in system options". I tried different proton launch commands and they did not work, then I solved it this way:

"Hardware acceleration in system options""is a windows thing. So as I had experience using ProtonTricks to do small modifications to proton, I used ProtonTricks.

So, my set up is all flatpaks for: Steam AND ProtonTricks. I opened protontricks-Black myth Wukong benchmark. Then "Select the default Wineprefix"-"RunRegedit". From here you go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control.

Then there in a real windows would be "GraphicsDrivers". There is not, so we right click control-New-Key and name it "GraphicsDrivers". Getting "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers".

Right click Graphics drivers-New DWORD. Set its value to "2" and its name to "HwSchMode".

By doing that I could run the Black Myth Wukong benchmark WITH DLSS + Frame gen.

I noticed that doing this removed some artifacts in the water that I saw with FSR + Frame gen, but there were some artifacts in the grass. FPS went from 40 to 60 on average doing this (Very high + Full Raytracing=Low). Finally, I don't know if this works for the normal game as I don't own it.

Cheers!

Hey, I have a problem that I've noticed when playing Guild Wars 2 on Fedora 43 KDE. I'm experiencing a massive, persistent FPS loss in the game. I haven't had this problem with other complex games so far.

Previously, under Windows 10, I had 70-80 FPS in Gw2 with the highest graphics settings. And now I'm experiencing 15-25 FPS with 35 at peaks.

I'm using the Steam version of gw2 with Proton-GE-Latest. Wayland and X11 make no difference for me (except that Gw2 doesn't flicker when launched under X11). I use the following start parameters: gamemoderun %command% -provider Portal -autologin

I tried DXVK_ASYNC=1, but that didn't seem to help.

Perhaps the proprietary drivers did not install correctly? In that case:

glxinfo | grep “OpenGL renderer” OpenGL renderer string: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070/PCIe/SSE2 vulkaninfo | grep “deviceName” deviceName = NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

How can I get closer to finding out what is causing this? Or what would I need to optimize? Could it have something to do with creating Vulkan shaders? They are rebuilt via Steam before each game start, which takes a few minutes each time. Do you have any ideas?

Also my system settings:

Hi, I've been noticing a problem with my setup/hardware for a while now. Heavy AAA games (CP2077, Horizon Forbiden West, etc.) tend to freeze for several hundred milliseconds at random moments. At other times, they run smoothly. This happens regardless of graphics settings or resolution. What could be causing this?

My configuration: RX6600, i5-12400f, 32GB DDR4 RAM.

Debian 13 Trixie, kernel: 6.12.48+deb13-amd64, Wayland, KDE Plasma.

I mean... They should be capable if they got it working on the new Steam Frame, right?

Yes mostly to replace dlss with fsr4 but still. I don't mind doing it the "hard" way but if I can automate it some like the deck does why not

Can someone please explain to me like I'm five how running Bazzite is more betterer than just installing Ubuntu or one of its ten thousand sons and typing apt install Steam? Is it just a matter of Bazzite having a bunch of aesthetic doodads or is there actually a performance or compatibility improvement?

Hi all, new Linux user here currently trying it out on an old laptop. I've gone with Mint and have successfully installed it, updated it and gotten pretty much all the software I needed installed too. I'm enjoying it a lot so far, however one point of frustration is with launching games via Steam. Every game I have tried so far gives me the error:

An error occurred while launching this game: Compatability tool failed

I've done my research and found out I should use Proton (if the game doesn't natively support Linux) but no matter what game I try, or what Proton version I use I can't get this error resolved.

For example, I have tried:

Arc Raiders

• No native option (from what I can see)
• Tried experimental
• Tried experimental (bleeding edge)
• Tried 9.0
• Tried 8.0
• Tried installing Easy Anticheat and Battleye Proton (though doubt this was going to do anything anyway)
• Tried not forcing a specific Proton version
• I've tried reinstalling the games, or moving the install locations

I have tried several of the above methods also for Vampire Survivors, Ball x Pit, The Finals, Balatro, but no success. Checking around online and basically all of the resources I've found have said that one or more of the above should be my solution.

Another issue I've encountered is that my second SSD drive appears to only be detected as if it were removable media. I have to go into Steam storage settings and "add drive" every time I want to access any games saved on that drive. I have set it up with a formatted partition and everything but I assume I am missing a step.

Apart from these two issues the journey hasn't been as intimidating as I thought, any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am on Fedora 43 Workstation and have installed a few games in Steam. I previously had KDE installed but wiped it as I was just finding too many bugs. Gnome is more stable for me and I prefer the UI. Anyway, I also have a pair of Anker Soundcore A40 earphones connected via Bluetooth. When connected it selects AAC codec and sounds great in Youtube etc.

However, every time I play a game, it automatically switches to a really poor quality codec and sounds like it is playing underwater. It is unbareable. This was also happening on KDE. I worked out that what is happening is my earphones are pairing as 2 devices. It shows up as "Headset - Soundscore Space A40" and "Handsfree - Soundcore Space A40". The first is the decent sound quality and the second is terrible. But every game switches it to the "Handsfree" one. I can manually switch it back but it is annoying and sometimes it will switch it back again.

The other issue I have is with some games like Dayz. Dayz opens first off with a server browser window. I select a server and start playing. The issue is on the game screen you can see the outline of the server window behind it which is really annoying.

Any suggestions to fix these 2 issues?
