Need help trying to run DOOM: The Dark Ages on Ubuntu 24.04

17. Mai 2025 - 00:43

I am trying to run DOOM: The Dark Ages on my custom build PC on Ubuntu, but it does not work.

Specifically, the game starts on Steam, runs through all the names of the developers and their logos, and then when it gets to the 'Press [spacebar] to Start" screen, and I press space, the game does not start. It has not worked before in the past. I am using an AMD Radeon graphics card. I have tried many things already, including

-Verifing game file integrity

-Changing Proton versions

-Updating Ubuntu to 24.04

I basically have no idea about all the nitty-gritty Linux stuff (if you spit a bunch of acronyms at me i will have NO idea what you are talking about) but I am willing to try anything, short of getting a refund because I really wanna play this game it looks so fun

Massive bluetooth lag with Dualsense!

16. Mai 2025 - 21:51

So playing dualsense wired works great, however, any time i use it with bluetooth it starts out fine, then after a while input gets "stuck" and anything i press gets triggered after seconds of lag.

For instance - i start looking right - that input gets stuck the direction is stuck inputing to the right constantly, no matter how i adjust the analog - until the lag resets itself and i regain control back, however, before that - every other input i pressed gets triggered.

What the heck?

This isn't just normal controller lag or interference form other devices, this is input getting stuck and massive lag spikes.Besides, the BT adapter is 5.3 from TPlink, USB, and away from any other dongle.

And it starts out fine, this only happens after a few minutes of controller use.

Is this a driver issue? How do i fix this?

I'm using CachyOS Plasma.

Here's the installed packages:

❯ pacman -Qs bluetooth local/bluedevil 1:6.3.5-1.1 (plasma) Integrate the Bluetooth technology within KDE workspace and applications local/bluez 5.82-1.1 Daemons for the bluetooth protocol stack local/bluez-hid2hci 5.82-1.1 Put HID proxying bluetooth HCI's into HCI mode local/bluez-libs 5.82-1.1 Deprecated libraries for the bluetooth protocol stack local/bluez-utils 5.82-1.1 Development and debugging utilities for the bluetooth protocol stack local/hidapi 0.14.0-3.1 Simple library for communicating with USB and Bluetooth HID devices local/libldac 2.0.2.3-2.1 LDAC Bluetooth encoder library local/qt6-connectivity 6.9.0-1.1 (qt6) Provides access to Bluetooth hardware local/sbc 2.0-2.1 Bluetooth Subband Codec (SBC) library submitted by /u/Veprovina

Is it possible to enable DLSS Frame Generation on Linux (POP! OS) in Marvel's Spider-Man 2?

16. Mai 2025 - 21:18

For me, only FSR Frame Generation seems to be available. I'm using Linux, and I'd like to know if there's any way to get DLSS FG working or if it's currently unsupported. But I installed the mods via Lutris and it worked.

When will the next NVIDIA driver for Linux be released?

16. Mai 2025 - 20:52

Hey everyone,

I recently noticed that compatibility and performance across different NVIDIA driver versions on Linux have improved significantly. That got me really excited for the next release. Do you have any idea when the new driver might drop?

Also, I'm particularly looking forward to seeing NVIDIA Smooth Motion support for the RTX 40 series. As of version 575.51, this feature was introduced for RTX 50 series cards and reportedly works all Vulkan-based applications and games — including DXVK, VKD3D, and Vulkan-compatible emulators.

There's a good chance it could be to RTX 40 series as well. I'm really hoping that happens!

Is there any way to implement FSR 3 or alternative ways of upscaling in games that don't have it as a native option?

16. Mai 2025 - 20:51

For context, I would like to utilize FSR 3 with Total War Warhammer 3; going by ProtonDB the game has major stuttering issues at higher resolutions and I can testify through my own experience that it's true when playing on Nobara 42. However, I could partially mitigate it via upscaling but the game doesn't have it as an option. I know it's not a hardware issue because I've played the game on 1440p maximum settings on this PC (32 GB DDR5, 9800X3D, RX 7900 XTX) on Windows in the past (with a slight bit of FSR from Adrenalin) and I haven't had any stuttering issues there and the game ran admirably. I know Proton can use FSR 1 via launch options but it really makes the game ugly-looking, even on the quality option. So, I'd like to ask about the following:

  1. Is there a way to implement FSR 3 in games that don't have it as a native option?
  2. Alternatively, could I implement Intel XeSS? I know XeSS supports AMD GPUs and I prefer to use it when I play MH Wilds (which allows you to choose between XeSS and FSR) as the game looks a bit better.
  3. If neither of those options work, could I alternatively utilize external software to upscale my games? I don't know if Lossless Scaling works on Linux but I have heard of FOSS options such as Magpie, if anyone has personal recommendation for this do share.

Help me choose a distro for my PC

16. Mai 2025 - 19:15

I want to switch from Windows 11 as I have been having performance problems and have been wanting to format the computer.

My specification are:

  • Intel 7i 11700
  • RTX 3060 12GB
  • 16GB Ram

The main games, I play are overwatch and marvel rivals.

Besides gaming I also program with python and nodejs, in the case of python I use it for data analysis, so I would need to use anaconda.

Anyone have any suggestions, I'm not afraid to use the terminal, but also I don't want to fight with my OS using Arch directly.

I've tried to start steam on arch, but it wants to load nouveau, while i'm having nvidia drivers

16. Mai 2025 - 19:12

yeah i installed steam using pacman, and i tried running it normally but nothing happened, so i tried running it from terminal and ive got two errors
glx: failed to create dri3 screen
failed to load driver: nouveau
I'm using linux-zen kernel so i have installed nvidia-dkms package and nvidia-open-dkms since that's an GTX 1660. I have blacklisted nouveau and tried to run steam with OpenGL and i've added OPTION "DRI" "2" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf and yes i have added modules to mkinitcpio. What should i do?

Weird Mouse Issue on Fragpunk

16. Mai 2025 - 17:43

I'm getting this weird mouse issue on Fragpunk where my mouse is able to move completely fine when navigating around the menu and settings and stuff, however, when it comes to the actual game play (when I have to shoot people and all that) my mouse gets really stuttery.

I've tried a different mouse, changing resolution, switching to fullscreen, borderless, and windowed.

I've tried using gamescope, setting it as a launch option on steam would not get the game to open and opening it from the command line would throw me this error:
[gamescope] [Error] xdg_backend: Couldn't create Wayland input objects.

[gamescope] [Error] xdg_backend: Failed to initialize input thread

SDL_Vulkan_CreateSurface failed: VK_KHR_wayland_surface extension is not enabled in the Vulkan instance.terminate called without an active exception

I'm using an Arch Hyprland setup with an AMD gpu and cpu, and I'm also very very new so would love some spoonfeeding. Thanks
