I can’t lower any settings because ram is reported incorrectly.

Bazzite msi claw

Hey Guys,
after I played the game on CachyOS for some months one day it just didn't launch without any changes from my side. I checked ProtonDB for some infos but none of the advises worked. Even after I reinstalled CachyOS (for other reasons) it didn't work.

Things I tried so far:
- switching proton versions (went from proton-cachyos to proton 10, proton 9, some older ones as well)
- Enabling PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND
- Disabling MangoHUD

I started steam in CLI and checked the output during game launch. Here the summary:

fsync: up and running

Errors about an object at /home/user/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so wich cannot be preloaded

Game Recording doesn't start since it's disabled.

A bunch of processes get added.

"explorer.exe" is blacklisted in MangoHUD.

"pid 147127 != 147126, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)" appears.

"Game Recording - game stopped [gameid=1172380]"

All added processes get removed

I'd like to just blame the EA App for causing trouble but the sequel Jedi Survivor works fine for some reason.

If you have any idea how to fix that I'd be glad to hear it, since I don't want to be forced to play the game on windows. Thanks for your help guys

Hello everyone.

So I'm actually on Windows, planning to go on KDE for my next 2026 clean install. I'm actually learning how it's working (how to customise, commands etc).

I'm struggling to choose the GPU I'm also going to. I have a R7 5700X3D and a 600W PSU, + some budget limitation (550€) so I can't go higher than the RTX 5070 / RX 9070, even if it's a 30€ difference.

I know that AMD cards are interesting on Linux because of the drivers implementation in the Kernel. And I know that Nvidia isn't really interesting on Linux because we lose a lot of technologies (RTX Super Resolution which is my favorite). But at the same time FSR4, as good as it is, is similar to DLSS 3 Quality while DLSS4 is better than native and available on a lot of games.

I just don't know what to choose, both cards are at the same prize. Please help.

I have a generic controller that used to run well on windows cause it was shown as Xbox 360 gamepad
but in linux its shown as a P4 controller and something like
the LT and RT are switched
and whenever i press them the controller vibrates even when iam not in a game
tried steam input override and AntimicroX
and even tried to disable the gamepad rumble option on my games but nothing work
iam on manjero
any help?,
thanks.

For some reason, I just found out about Warframe. When I was on Windows, I enjoyed playing Destiny 2 and kinda missed the experience after moving to Linux. Now I am absolutely addicted to playing this game! The combat and graphics are amazing and fills that Destiny gameplay void I had.

Something on my system is constantly forcing Vsync to be enabled. I cant get above 165 fps in any game . The problem is whatever is causing this is not even doing a good job since in some games the stable fps I get jumps between 140 and 170 (more demanding games like cs2 or the Finals) . At first I thought it was a problem with my GPU since it was never reaching full clock speeds unless settings are set to max , now I know that this is some sort of Vsync which is always on because in most non heavy games my fps never goes over 165.

Specs:

Kubuntu 24.04.3 lts

Issue on Wayland and X11

WHat I have tried:

Changed my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf to this:

Section "Device"

Identifier "AMD"

Driver "amdgpu"

Option "TearFree" "true"

Option "VariableRefresh" "false"

EndSection

In games using the :
vblank_mode=0

(and ofc I dont have vsync enabled in games)

PS:Also this is 100% not a cpu bottleneck my cpu is powerful enough and this is not an issue on windows

SOLVED:

use

MESA_VK_WSI_PRESENT_MODE=immediate

If we want to make this better for newbies (to make it smoother), proton tricks should be able to be assigned the steam location from a filebrowser, rather than the terminal.

For instance, when the error for proton tricks
"protontricks (WARNING): Protontricks does not appear to have access to the following directories: flatpak override --user --filesystem=/var/home/ME/.local/share/Steam com.github.Matoking.protontricks

To fix this problem, grant access to the required directories by copying the following command and running it in a terminal:

flatpak override --user --filesystem=/var/home/ME/.local/share/Steam com.github.Matoking.protontricks"

The prompt should immediately be "would you like to do that now", because it's already got the correct terminal line ready to go right then and there.

I know I'm going to attract some ire, but I'm as interested in the YOTLD, but it will require reduced friction for that to happen, and this is arguably not a power-user program

It's actually pissing me off how easy this was. I could have done this years ago.

I went in to CachyOS from Win11 yesterday on my full AMD rig. I messed up my first install by going with Hyperlnd environment and being clueless, reinstalled the OS (took 5 whole minutes) and chose KDE Plasma. Got Steam, Discord, LACT, and Spotify through package installer, and just hopped right into gaming. No issues. No tweaks. No setup.

And my games are running.... BETTER??????

Wtf is this.

has anyone got it working?

im going insane i think

i want to replay the game but thats the ONLY game that i cant get working

2 of my posts got deleted on the dragon age sub lmao

i have bazzite 43 if thats relavant

Under shader compilation (with fan curve set in the bios and a 115W PPT limit) my 9800X3D reaches 85c under Bazzite, whereas on windows the maximum temperature is 79c. I know neither of these are particularly high for an X3D cpu but I’m curious why Bazzite is hotter. Does it somehow override my BIOS settings?

I recently switched to Linux from Windows and I have been primarily playing Arc Raiders which ran great at first for a week or so. Ever since yesterday anytime I try to launch Arc via Steam the application doesn't open.

I get a terminal pop up for Easy Anti-Cheat which closes after 15 seconds and the Arc Raiders loading window as seen in the screenshot. After about one minute, that window closes and nothing happens.

I am very new to Linux and was wondering if anyone had suggestions. I have rebooted and applied any updates available.

Playing on Linux Mint

For a couple days now ARC Raiders doesn't shut down at all when closing the game, the game's process gets the "Zombie" status and can't even be killed with gnome, same for Steam, it's like these both apps are keeping each other form shutting down, I have to power down my PC every time now because it won't even let the system close.

I tried reinstalling the game, uninstalling the anti-cheat then running the game, changing the game's priority, but nothing. If anyone has ideas please share them because I'm annoyed beyond measure at this point.

i asked chatgpt and searched though this thread a bit and i still dont know if its safe (as i dont wanna get banned) to play multiplayer games from steam and epic (rocket league , pubg , counter strike)
Is there any recomended distro i should use for gaming or is linux mint good enough ?

Hello,

I'm having a lot of trouble attempting a universal DLSS override with scopebuddy enabled on user_settings.py.

I'm very new to all of this so I'm definitely doing something wrong, I just don't know what. I have tested the dlss override using the steam launch commands and it does work but I don't want to do it for every game I want to apply it to. Is this the correct way?
