Tried launching DX12 games (Monster Hunter Rise and Eternal Strands Demo) and they came back with some kind of renderer creation error message resulting in a crash.

I tried different Proton versions, a few launch option like forcing a specific direct x version or a specific gpu.

System should be up to date and uses the mesa-driver from the tumbleweed-repo

Perhaps related: Hades 2 had massive issues with every flavor of DX11/12 and Vulkan where i tried some launch options or different proton versions or even just waiting a bit and then it would work for a day and the next day i had to do everything again.

Hi everyone,

I'm hitting a wall troubleshooting Kingdom Come: Deliverance (GOG version) on Arch Linux. This started happening after I switched to the AUR nvidia-5xx packages to maintain proprietary driver support for my Pascal (10-series) card.

The Issue:

With DXVK: The game launches to a black screen. I can hear the intro sound/music playing, but the window is dead. The logs show VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DATE_KHR loop.

Without DXVK (WineD3D): The game loads and renders, but performance is unplayable (slideshow). Skyrim (DXVK) works perfectly.

System & Packages:

OS: Arch Linux (fully updated) GPU: NVIDIA TITAN X (Pascal) Driver: 580.119.02 (via AUR) Wine: 10.20

Current NVIDIA Packages:

lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils 580.119.02-1 nvidia-580xx-dkms 580.119.02-2 nvidia-580xx-utils 580.119.02-2 opencl-nvidia-580xx 580.119.02-2 linux-firmware-nvidia 20251125-2

Host Vulkan Status (Healthy): vulkaninfo --summary confirms the driver and extensions like VK_KHR_surface are present on the host:

Instance Extensions: count = 24 ... VK_KHR_display : extension revision 23 VK_KHR_surface : extension revision 25 VK_KHR_xlib_surface : extension revision 6 ... Devices: GPU0: NVIDIA TITAN X (Pascal) apiVersion = 1.4.312 driverVersion = 580.119.2.0

Logs & Errors (Wine/DXVK): Despite the host being fine, the game/DXVK log fails to see the surface extension: https://pastebin.com/5GtHzbci

What I have tried so far:

DXVK Versions: DXVK 2.x: Black screen, VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DATE_KHR. DXVK 1.10.3 (Legacy): Exact same behavior (Black screen + sound), no improvement. Config: Tried dxgi.nvapiHack = False, d3d11.ignoreGraphicsBarriers = True, and disabling GraphicsPipelineLibrary. Wine/Prefix: Created a completely fresh Wine prefix (game works in OpenGL mode). Verified winevulkan.dll matches the installed Wine version. Forced ICD: VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json (verified path). Attempted to run in a virtual desktop (winecfg) -> window hangs while sound plays.

It feels like the AUR driver installation isn't exposing the VK_KHR_surface extension correctly to Wine's 32-bit/64-bit bridge, despite vulkaninfo reporting it as present.

Has anyone with a 10-series card on the 580xx drivers seen this specific issue?

Help is very much appreciated, thanks!

Hi all

I'm thinking of trying my hand at Linux, first I want to run in dual boot (with 2 separate drives), I found this guide and it looks good: https://linuxbsdos.com/2025/03/20/dual-boot-windows-11-linux-mint-22-pc-2-drives/. But I have a couple of questions before I begin.

• Is Bazzite a good choice?
• Is that a good and up to date guide?
• Will the guide also work if I switch Bazzite for Mint?
• I have 2 other drivers on my machine, one for user data and for video games. Will I able to use both of of those drivers, but more importantly, will I be able to launch the games installed on that separate drive from both Windows and Linux?

Thanks!

i use:

gamescope -w 1440 -h 1080 -S stretch -f --force-grab-cursor --adaptive-sync --immediate-flips -- %command%

The game feels quite a bit more blurry that it did on windows tho.
is there a fix for this?

Thanks for any help!

I have several EA games through Epic and only one of them (Jedi Fallen Order) will actually launch through Faugus (still better than Heroic which I couldn't get any EA games to launch).

All of the other games have an error message that says "Origin is not installed and is required to play your game. Please reinstall origin".

Anyone know any workarounds?

Hello, I don't know where I can ask but I have an issue with two Steam games on Ubuntu.
When I play Only Climb: Better together or Drive Behind the Horizon, steam games that need DirectX 11 or 12, those games ui turns sometimes in black and orange colors.
I tried different versions of proton or Ge proton, updated drivers but I still had that issue.

Sincerely.

I recently switched from WIndows to Fedora KDE, everything works flawlessly so far except Moonlight - input lag is noticeably higher than on Windows. I tried to troubleshoot it myself but i ran out of any ideas how to fix it. I host it using Sunshine and I have Nvidia GPU with Wayland enabled.

Hello,

I have difficulties on playing games on my linux. I have an NVidia and before when I was on windows it worked well.

I can only play Path Of titans rn and it's very laggy.

I wanted to play Clair Obscur and Palworld. Both have lags but still run and then my PC freeze and I have to force it to turn it off... Palworld works well for a while and Clair Obscur is just 5fps even on low graphic.

May I have any tips ? I'm new and very annoyed that my pc suddendly stop working properly for games. I tried with winboat but for now my GPU isnt recognized throught it so nothing I can do for now...

Thanks and have a nice day :)

I don't know if you're familiar with this project:

https://github.com/shiversoftdev/BO3Enhanced

(From the creator of T7Patch)

It's a Black Ops 3 mod that uses the Microsoft Store version of the game to make it playable on Steam. The Microsoft Store build has huge improvements over the Steam one, it's a newer build with no Arxan DRM/anticheat, doesn't suffer from the many vulnerabilities that the game has, doesn't suffer of the fps issue related to not having all DLCs installed, the loading times in every single scenario are greatly reduced too. The fps improvements are the main selling point, it doubles them and I'm not even exaggerating, it gets rid of all the texture streaming stutter that this game has too.

Here's the guide on how to properly configure it on Linux.

On Windows it's currently the best way to play Black Ops 3, now it's available on Linux too but doesn't have any online support, still great for playing solo or custom maps.

It requires you to have a dump of the Microsoft Store version of BO3, as explained on the GitHub Readme. It's kinda easy to retrieve, just buy the Black Ops 3 MP trial on the Microsoft Store, dump it as explained on GitHub and then refund it (or you could look for it on the internet, your choice). You still require to own the game on Steam!

PS. It's all thank to this guy porting GDK components to Wine to run Bedrock Minecraft, this guy is a legend!

Most of the icons missing here, other than that some keybind icons also missing. Like the game notifications tell me I can switch vehicles by using a []. Which is in reality TAB key, but game renders it as a box like something is missing for it.

I am trying to run Assetto Corsa but im not having any luck getting it to launch. I have tried force compatibility with proton 5.0-10, 9.0-4, 8.0-5, experimental and hotfix. I have updated all my drivers and every other game ive tried works fine minus CS:GO and PUBG. CS:GO due to it thinking im cheating and PUBG I suspect because it runs like ass at the best of times. Any help getting this to run would be greatly appreciated

Hello guys! I've been struggling with modding SKSE on Linux forever. I've tried Vortex and Lutris, but neither of those have worked for me. Eventually, I switched to using ModOrganizer2 and protontricks which worked. Here's what worked for me:

Skyrim & Proton Setup

1. Install Steam (I used a system package manager, but flatpak should be fine too. For the rest of my guide, I have the steam directory as ~/.local/share/Steam. If you use Flatpak, the directory will be different, so you may need to symlink the flatpak directory to ~/.local/share/Steam for things to work)
2. Install Skyrim SE from Steam, go into the configuration and make sure it uses Proton Experimental as the compatability layer.
3. Launch Skyrim SE once to generate proton prefixes.

Install Protontricks

I tried using protontricks from APT, but it wasn't working, so I recommend using the flatpak version of protontricks. I used this command:

flatpak install com.github.Matoking.protontricks

Protontricks allows you to interact with Skyrim's proton prefix (Steam/.../489830/pfx/) in a clean way using the Wine dialogs. :)

install the Windows version of Mod Organizer 2

1. Download a MO2 .exe file from the GitHub.
2. Install it in Skyrim's proton prefix using protontricks:
   • Make sure you've run Skyrim once
   • Launch Protontricks
   • Select Skyrim Special Edition → default wineprefix
   • Choose “Run an arbitrary executable” and select your downloaded MO2 installer wherever it is

Locate MO2 Executable

After installation, the main executable will usually be:

C:\Modding\MO2\ModOrganizer.exe

This means that every time you want to install/edit mods, you should launch this .exe with protontricks.

On Linux, the corresponding path is:

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx/drive_c/Modding/MO2/ModOrganizer.exe Create a Desktop Launcher for MO2

In order to make it easier to launch MO2 without launching protontricks and pressing a bunch of buttons and finding the file, you can make a desktop entry, which will appear directly as an app on your computer.

Create a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications to launch MO2 conveniently:

[Desktop Entry] Name=Mod Organizer 2 (Skyrim SE) Comment=Launch Mod Organizer 2 in Skyrim Proton Prefix Exec=flatpak run --command=protontricks-launch com.github.Matoking.protontricks --appid 489830 "/home/{USERNAME}/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx/drive_c/Modding/MO2/ModOrganizer.exe" Icon=/home/{USERNAME}/.local/share/icons/modorganizer2.png Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Game;Utility; StartupWMClass=ModOrganizer.exe

• MAKE SURE YOU REPLACE {USERNAME} with your Linux username
• I also included the Icon=/home/{USERNAME}/.local/share/icons/modorganizer2.png line so that the app has an icon. This isn't required but it gives the app a nice icon. See below on how to extract the icon.

You may have to make the desktop entry executable:

chmod +x ~/.local/share/applications/modorganizer2-skyrim.desktop Extract MO2 Icon

To give your desktop entry a nice icon, You can extract the icon from the MO2 executable using 7zip:

7z x ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx/drive_c/Modding/MO2/ModOrganizer.exe ".rsrc/ICON" -o./extracted_icons

• Save the extracted PNG (the highest quality is #10) to ~/.local/share/icons/modorganizer2.png
• Update the .desktop file to point to this path

MO2 + Nexus

Mod Organizer asked me to connect Nexus when I launched it, so it should work seamlessly with Nexus mods website.

yay!

My game has only been crashing when Im in my inventory. Anytime I level up, try to allocate a point, or even switch to a different tab, my game crashes, I've disabled menu transitions, enabled lower inventory res, and am running windowed fullscreen now and it still doesnt want to work properly. I had to make a server so I could play the game normally (dino spawns are dick for normal single player), and on normal single player I could get lucky and have zero issues for a period of time, but my game constantly crashes when Im in my inventory on the server (was able to level up and use my inventory for a while before I got another crash so it works sometimes). I was using proton Ge10.25 but Im using experimental and changing to either of them doesn't fix my issue. I use fedora kde 43 and have a nvidia gpu. Game runs great, and ONLY crashes from my inventory. If you have any idea of how to help my issue, please comment or something.

Just got a BC-250 from eBay today to turn into a steam machine running bazzite but I can’t get the thing to output video, funnily enough it only turns on when you unplug the display port connector. Couldn’t find anything online about this and chatGPT was useless so I was wondering if anyone else ran into this problem. From what I’ve seen on YouTube they should “just work” and post right out of the box. The psu I’m testing with is a thermaltake toughpower GT 850W, with the 24 pin jumpered (so it’ll turn on) and the pcie being used to power the board. I am just at a loss for what could be going on and wanted to make a post about it before just assuming it’s hardware failure. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
