I'm running Ubuntu on a Samsung Book. I can install Steam and use my Nacon Revolution X controller absolutely fine via USB. But if I want to use Xbox Cloud Gaming in a browser, specifically Chrome or Edge, it won't detect the controller. It doesn't matter if the browser is installed via a .deb or Flatpak or Snap.

The controller is detected in Firefox, but Xbox Cloud Gaming is not a great experience in that browser and I have regular freezing.

I've used the gamepad tester website in Chrome and Edge and my controller and its inputs are detected correctly.

Does anybody have any ideas how to get Xbox Cloud Gaming working on Ubuntu in Edge/Chrome?

Of course, ProtonDB itself is helpful, because if it runs on the Deck, chances are it'll run smoothly on the LeGo S, but the opposite isn't necessarily true. And each handheld have its own differences, like the lack of trackpads and community controller layouts for instance.

I am using Bazzite with latest updates. Proton-GE with launch options "PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1" in game recognize HDR is enabled but my monitor does not. If I enable HDR on KDE display settings it works, my monitor goes to HDR mode but I don't want to use HDR on my desktop. Also with Steam Proton games recognize HDR with launch options "SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1", yet again not my monitor.

Warp jump to hauling offload location :D

Hi I’m new to Linux and I have installed bazzite on my old spare desktop pc but I’m having a issue, I have installed 3 games, Skyrim, fallout New Vegas and Red Dead Redemption 1. I can run the games from steam on desktop mode but as soon as I go in game mode I just get a black screen then I get the bazzite startup screen again then back to steam home page. I have tried messing with the different version of proton including proton experimental and proton GE latest I’m guessing it has something to do with the fact these 3 games have some kind of separate launcher but I’m just stumped at this point I spent all night last night and most of today trying to sort it out but I’m at the point now where google wont give me the answers.

If it helps here is my pc hardware: Intel i5 3470 16gb ddr3 ram AMD Radeon RX 580 8gb I also have the os installed a 1TB HDD I dunno if I should have it installed on a SSD or not but I doubt that will stop the games from running.

Any help would be much appreciated

When I play either Age of Wonders 4 or Monster Hunter Wilds, sometimes the audio is gone. And this audio lost persist outside the game. I can't hear any sound when watching YouTube or listening to music. The only way to fix it is to restart my PC.

Do you know why this problem happen and how to prevent it?

My specs:

OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS

Processor: AMD® Ryzen 7 5700g with radeon graphics × 16

Graphic Card: AMD® Radeon rx 6700 xt

​I recently migrated to Linux (Bazzite) and have been able to configure Steam for each user session, one for each member of the family, with Steam booting into the corresponding Steam family account.

​I've been able to change the language for each account, except for one: my youngest kid's. The only one who absolutely doesn't speak English.

​I tried restarting Steam, Bazzite, and the computer itself. I also tried to see if it was something age-related that I could tweak from my account via family settings, but no. ​And I didn't have any issue with my other child's account.

​Here, I cannot even click the button. It's not grayed out or anything, it just does nothing. ​Normally, there's a button with "English" on it and if you click it, a drop-down menu appears. ​Here the button's there but it's unresponsive.

​If it's of any help, the language I'm trying to set up is the same as the OS one (French).

First, some technical details out of the way:

• OS: Bazzite, should be latest version.
• CPU: Ryzen 5600x
• GPU: Intel Arc A770 16 GB
• RAM: 32 GB DDR 4
• MESA: 25.2.7

When attempting to launch an Unreal Engine game with Proton version above 9.0-4, or Proton Experimental, or above GE-Proton 10-1 I get this crash and error:

!status && "vkQueuePresentKHR"

I've searched for this error and only found some old threads pointing to Steam Overlay being a problem. However, disabling Steam Overlay does not stop this issue.

Some of the UE games I play function on lower versions of Proton, others refuse to launch at all.

What could be causing this issue? What would I do to fix it?

I play with small set of addons but recently I started to have weird performance problem that I always get 6 fps.
So I disabled all addons but issue is still same. Although these are still installed, just disabled.
FPS is fine on main menu before joining any map. but when I open flatgrass for example, I only get 6 fps.
And when I disconnect from game, it's still 6 fps afterward.

Interesting I discovered is that when this happens, both CPU and GPU usage is really high. It's using 100% of one of 4 cores I have and it's using 100% of GPU.
Even though it shouldn't be. I don't have any addons and map is just flatgrass.
Entire PC starts to lag because of this.

I have 24GB ram with NVIDIA GTX 1060 with 3GB Vram.
CPU is I5 7600

I am using x86-64 branch with Chromium fix with multi core rendering. I tried disabling multi core rendering but it was same.

Edit:
Sometimes switching resolution fixes it?

Tried both so far. BattleNet setup froze on Lutris at the end, but it seems like it installed fine.

Launching both, I login and get to home page but get the oops message on both...

I don't have any games on Battlenet and was looking to try out WOW. I can go to the Shop, click the starter WOW and click play for free but that also takes me to this same screen when using Steam, with Lutris it locks up when I click the Play for free button.

"no directx 12 adapter or runtime found. please install latest directx runtime or install a compatible directx 12 video card" this is a message i get after trying to open rdr2 after i updated my system. Also warframe does not open after the update. Yesterday i played both games but after the update they do not work. anyone have any idea what could help. I'm running fedora kde.

Hello, as the title says, Im thinking about switching to RX9060XT from 3060 ti (i found a pretty good deal for it). Do you think its worth the upgrade? I tried bazzite with 3060 ti but some of the games has pretty low fps even with different proton and driver versions. My cpu is amd 5600x with 16 gb ram and I game at 1440p

The game runs perfectly on Kubuntu 25.10 with Proton Experimental... No other stuff needs to be done. Thanks Gabe!

Hello everyone!

Can anyone help? I have a Intel laptop, and the problem is that in games the FPS is higher on Windows than on Linux. For example, in Disco Elysium I get 80+ FPS on Windows, while on Linux it's around 30 with the same graphics settings. It's the same issue with other games. The Steam FPS overlay also shows that the GPU is being used at 0%.

Specs:

• HUAWEI FLMH-XX-PCB laptop
• Intel Core Ultra 5 125H
• IGPU Intel Arc integrated GPU (Meteor Lake-P)
• Fedora 42

I’ve tried Steam both via Flatpak and native, Proton GE and Proton Experimental, and different distros (Arch, Fedora, Bazzite) — the problem persists everywhere.

I've installed cp2077 (heroic) on my secondary ntfs drive, and it runs like a charm, but dirt 2.0 (steam) will not.

I'm getting frustrated lately about gaming on linux and I'm thinking about going back to windows :( any suggestions?

Hi, I guess you guys might have more experience with this kind of issue so might as well ask here.

I finally started to play Alien Isolation (purchased on Steam) however this game have a native Linux port which is incredibly buggy for me. Because of this I would like to download the Windows version and play it with Proton, is there a way on how to download specifically the Windows version?

I already found the app ID of it though SteamDB, which should be 214491 but when I want to install it with the command

steam://run/214491

I get an error stating that "An error occurred while launching this game: Game configuration unavailable".

https://preview.redd.it/j2zs22qgje1g1.png?width=639&format=png&auto=webp&s=99a122b618c47ae158a6a5743750d1e6c42a253d

Another way I found was to use steamcmd interface, which should be able to download packages by its ID, however that gives me this error: "Error! Failed to install app '214491' (Invalid platform)"

Does someone have experience with this? Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: Many thanks! I guess the easiest solution is also the best one. You are awesome.
