FUI TESTAR ESSA DICA ANTIGA E NEM DEU TEMPO DE FAZER ALGO ERRADO SKKKK MUITO SIMPLES E EXTREMAMENTE FUNCIONAL. ESPERANDO MEU DIABLO BAIXAR PRA TESTAR!

My case might just be a one-off aberration, but if it helps anyone with similar issues here it goes:

I just started gaming on linux via wine (specifically through lutris) and I've been playing with my keyboard just fine; however my younger sibling wanted to play Minecraft Story Mode, so I decided to set it up. It all went swimmingly until I tried to use our PS4 controller as the input but connecting via bluetooth did not work. I tried setting it up in wine control (from lutris, since each game has its own wine prefix), but it still wouldn't input in the game. After ~2 days I'm now enjoying myself.

Quick aside: If you connect via USB you shouldn't have to do all this just download sc-controller (since MCSM doesn't natively support PS controllers) and plug in your controller and remap if needed. It is what I did until I got sick of the ridiculous length of cables.

[Arch Linux instructions but they should not greatly differ]

1. Download ds4drv. It's very old but if you follow the top instructions in the AUR (what GG0R10 commented) it should properly run.
2. Download sc-controller (the maintained one one is linked). Edit /etc/bluetooth/input.conf (as suggested by this issue)
3. Connect your controller (hold PS + Share until rapid blinks) via your bluetooth manager (bluetoothctl in my case)
   1. $ bluetoothctl
   2. $ [bluetoothctl] agent on
   3. $ [bluetoothctl] scan on
   4. $ [bluetoothctl] devices (you should then see your controller, something like "Wireless Controller" with a mac address simillar to F4:XX:XXXX
   5. $ [bluetoothctl] connect F4:XX:XXXX
   6. $ [Wireless Controller] trust F4:XX:XXXX
4. Enable the ds4drv service
   1. $ sudo systemctl enable ds4drv.service
   2. (either restart or start sevice) $ sudo systemctl start ds4drv.service
5. Open sc-controller
6. In sc-controller: Settings -> Controllers -> Register New Controller
7. Select "Wireless Controller" (or something similar)
8. KEY!!! I got to this point without ds4drv but this next screen never showed leaving all my keys, triggers, and joysticks unbinded with no way forward.
9. You should see a blurb with the title "DS4 Controller," keep the "Enable DS4 Controller Support" checked and click "Restart Emulation"
10. Close out of the settings, back to sc-controller, and make sure XBox Controller is selected at the top
11. You should see your PS4 Controller!
12. Now is when you can start your wine game from your launcher (lutris in my case) and it should work!!

I hope this helps one poor soul out there because it was a harrowing experience on my end, and I bumbled into this solution so it may not be perfect. Please reach out if unable! :p

I wanna run a game with vsr. Firstly I thought about gamescope, but that game will spawn a login window, thus not able to login via gamescope (since it doesn't support switching multiple windows). And gamescope on NVIDIA also cause performance hit as well. Is there anything else to try out? Thanks!

MHUR is currently the only EAC game I play, and I was hoping that the other workaround that I’ve seen posted here would work for me (disabling wifi before launch, then re-enabling after reaching the title screen), but unfortunately it worked exactly once. Has this workaround been patched? Does anyone have anything else I could try?

hi! Im new to linux and was wondering if there is any way to make it so Deadlock has full microfone access? It keeps crashing whenever i join a friends party with party chat open, or when i dare to press to push to talk on party button, probably because of microfone permissions related to party chat, so i was wondering if maybe i could just give the game full access to my microfone it would stop doing that? Im on the latest LTS version of Ubuntu. Thanks!

P.S.: It crashes all of Steam not just Deadlock.

I have my rich presence enabled in vesktop settings, but none of the games or apps I open seem to have any effect. I also can't find any menu in the settings for manually adding games.

Hello, im trying to play the game in steam, but when i try to start it it shows that is running but inmediatly crashes.

I tried to deleting in the compatdata folder of the game the pfx, i also tried changing the version of proton, deactivating steam overlay, and none of this worked.

Does someone has a solution to this or its just me?

I've been wanting to switch to Linux for years, always finding an excuse to stay on Windows, but after tonight when my 'deactivated' Windows Updates, installed the KB507419 patch, causing my system to be unresolvable without a full reinstall I rage switched to Linux Mint.

Any tips for a Linux Noob for Steam and WOW gaming?

Hello,
I'm on Nobara 43 and I am experiencing problems with VR on linux.
My problem is that the games run well, but the helmet and controllers are laggy. Like it's not smooth at all, so playing games is hard. The issue is with both ALVR and WiVRn

Specs
RTX3060
Ryzen 7 5700X
32GB RAM

I play competitive fps games, and I am still getting slight input lag to my mouse movements and keypresses, although I have stable 700fps in my main game. I have RTX 5050 GPU. I’ve disabled vsync from NVIDIA control panel, disabled compositor, tried different versions of Proton, tried both game-performance and gamemode. Still getting the input lag.

Any ideas on what to try next? All ideas are appreciated as I feel a bit lost atm!

I have a Pc with an RTX 2070 and a Intel 6700k, i havent reinstall windows in 9 years. Since I was about to reinstall a windows I was wondering if I would get a performance boost/same performance on Bazzite since my computer is getting old.

I used the minecraft bedrock launcher I found on Discovery. I own both java and bedrock but I'm trying to make it work for bedrock. I already managed to make it work for java but this message keeps popping up after I press play in the bedrock launcher. Should I authorize this? I checked videos and this doesn't show up for others. So I assume it has something to do with java, maybe. I used prism launcher for java. Thank you!

hytale crashes when I try to open world folder to add mods it crashes the game completely (on steam deck in desktop mode)

To anyone considering moving to Linux but worried about game support and having an Nvidia GPU fear not. I too had these worrys a short time ago. Even did a bit of distro hopping. And most supported my 50 series GPU right outa the box and if the distro didn't it took less than 5 minutes to install the correct drivers. I've been off and on for Linux for a few years now. But never on my main gaming PC. Till now. Also you don't have to have a "gaming distro" to play games any distro will most likely work right out of the box. I'm a lifer now. And thanks to all those who helped and will probably help me in the future.

Decided to make this a thread after some days of troubleshooting and googling around. I just can't get acceptable quality on Discord with screensharing. I tried using Vesktop and Equibop which were common suggestions from others, but while they allow me to finally stream with sound, the stream quality careens into a stuttery mess after a few seconds. If I choose "Prefer Smoothness", the quality is garbage (naturally) but the stream still becomes messy and stuttery after a while. When I choose "Prefer Quality", the stream looks like I want it to look - except after 10 seconds it becomes stuttery and unwatchable as well. Sometimes, the stream will also say "Stream Failed to Start: Error" and it will only work again when I disable Hardware Acceleration.

Strangely enough, the regular flatpak discord client is the only one that can keep the quality afloat, but it also stutters after streaming for a few seconds and the sound (depending on the game there's no sound but some games do have sound) begins to lag with the stream as well (on vesktop client it doesn't, the sound stays perfect but the image will still be bad). For now I have resorted to hosting with Sunshine and my friends watch my game over Moonlight, which works perfectly, but I can't force everyone to get Moonlight + LogMeInHamachi every time they want to watch me stream, and I don't want to push 2 entirely unrelated programs/tools on to people all the damn time. Also, I don't have this issue on Windows at all (but I'd really prefer not to use Windows anymore). I have RTX 3060 and Intel i9-11900 processor with 32 GB RAM.

My guess is that Discord on Linux (no matter the client) still uses CPU encoding of sorts instead of GPU encoding. Unfortunately i have no idea how to go on about fixing this anymore. Does anyone have any better idea? I'd be willing to distro hop as well if Bazzite is the issue but I somehow doubt it

Something that could help is being able to change the streaming codec somehow like I can with Sunshine, but I wouldn't know how to, or if that's even possible.

Is it only for me or does this affects generally everyone that has ever tried to screen share in Discord in linux and noticed that switching between 720p and 480p does not have a single difference? Why the hell 720p still looks like 480p? It looks awful for full screen and i cant see to find a solution for this, and im tired of google just regurgitating any AI response with a bunch of fucking nonsense in it, see the following video:

hello I recently switched to linux a few months ago so I really dont know that much when it cocmes to gaming Im playing this game Heartopia and my problem was the google login even tho in the browser it said successfully login in game its still in the login menu anyone knows how to fix this
