Hi there,

just recently moved from a 4070-ti to a 9070 XT. So far all is working as expected and I am quite happy. But what the hell is wrong with CP77?!?! As soon as I enable RT, a whole set of unwanted glitches kicks in. During the benchmark for instance, objects and shadows randomly appear and disappear. The lighting is off and through the railing bars another room is visible for one second. In the actual game, for instance in the disco in Dog Town, the reflections of the dancing NPCs do not move at all. It is like fake RT but in a super bad way.

I am running CachyOS with all updates, no mods, no overclocking.

Is that a general issue? On the 4070-ti nothing of the above was visible.

Hi!

I just made the switch to CachyOS and it is now in a state that is fine for me (got fancontrol and GPU undervolting working).

But I stumbled upon one problem with Baldurs Gate 3 in Steam. Steam launches the Vulkan version automatically. But I want it to start the DirectX version, to make use of optiscalers DLSS->FSR4.

Anyone know how to force Steam to launch the „Windows“-Version?

I recently tried out MX Linux, which uses GNU for the apps, and not flatpack. On Mint, I had been playing PySolFC Klondike Solitaire. On MX Linux, the cards are small, only taking up 1/4 of the screen. I do not see where I can enlarge this to full screen. Any help is appreciated.

A little while ago I moved to bazzite but the more I think about it the more it makes sense for me to return to win 10 mainly because my hardware is old and not and i7 4790k 980ti.

The only factor I’m currently not sure about is the virus protection so my question is

Is Linux/Bazzite more secure than windows 10

Since there is no defender in Linux but windows 10 support is stopped what do you think?

Also since defender has only been catching my cracked games I’m thinking of disabling it or even using a custom win 10 iso to squeeze out even more performance

hello everyone I’ve been having this issue with helldivers 2 on Linux in which I’ve tired multiple things with no luck whatsoeve.

I’ve tried

cleaning the proton shader cache

using different proton versions including proton-ge and cachyos.

using different distributions like cachy, arch, ubuntu, fedora workstation, etc

updating the kernel from 6.17 to 6.18

validating the game files.

restarting my laptop.

i have no idea what caused this as it happens when I enter a mission but can trigger in the destroyer when I change the graphics settings.

specs

intel core ultra 5 135h

intel arc graphics (integrate)

16 gb ddr5 5600 sodimm

512 gb m.2

i have no idea how to fix this and my Linux knowledge is run out at this point. any help would be greatly appreciate, thank you

I have minecraft flatpak and I want to run it through heroic so that I can have all my games in one place. Is there a way to configure it to do so?

Hello everyone, after seeing the recent update of rtbr for half life 2, I was wondering if it was possible to play it on linux. From what I heard, you need to enable proton for source sdk base 2007 and 2013 singleplayer and set 2013 to upcoming in the betas. I did all that and even enabled proton for half-life 2, put the rtbr folder in the sourcemods folder and it showed up in steam. But when i launch it, nothing happens. So could anyone help please. Note: Im on arch linux and on not flatpak steam and using proton 7.0-6.

I run it with DW-Proton without any issue
Not sure if it would get ban or not, run it at your own risk

Hello everyone,

I've been using Linux Mint for a few years now, and recently I've had some time to play games again. I've noticed the following problem when playing FF XIV and WoW.

I can't use some keybinds. For one thing, “^” and “Shift+^.”

Since the last Linux Mint update (22.3), the keybind for “Shift+3” no longer works either. It used to work before.

WoW runs on my computer via the faugus launcher. I also tested it with "Use Wayland driver (experimental), as I had read something about that.

I also tried changing the keyboard layout from German to English, without success.

Otherwise, I have the default Proton “GE-Proton Latest (default)” setting.

Maybe someone can help me with this, I'd be grateful.

Hey there!

I'm currently torn between these two options since they both cost almost the same around $550 in my country. I have to clarify I'm talking about used RTX 4070S price, but I don't care about warranty much (have some experience in gpu maintenance) and there's a lot of used but still under warranty options available

Some of context and my thoughts: I'm gaming on a 1440p monitor, so I'm looking for a solid QHD experience. I don't care much about DLSS 4. Sure it's better compared to FSR 4 but I think FSR 4 is pretty neat as well I'm aware about as called DX12 tax when using nvidia but afaik nvidia acknowledged about this issue and working on a fix. Also, AMD having a similar issue with ray tracing enabled, but as I know Mesa developers making progress on fixing it as well. But anyway at this moment the problem is present. I actually care about RT, maybe not necessarily path tracing ultra, but basic RT options would be nice. I guess nvidia still will beat 9060xt in RT and especially in PT, but I've heard Mesa 26 is bringing massive RT improvements on RDNA 4. Also, I must say 9060xt has much more VRAM (16gb compared to 12gb), but it has much lower bus bandwidth (128 bit compared to 192 bit) and nvidia has GDDR6X, so I'm worried about heavy VRAM consumption scenarios like RT or even PT.

In conclusion: So is "native" AMD feel and plug-and-play experience on Linux worth it or rtx 4070s is favorable one for me even though the VKD3D overhead? Would love to hear from anyone running RDNA 4 or nvidia 40-s series. Thanks in advance!

I am trying to play sekiro but I am getting less than 60 fps 45 47 fps on bottles and lutris

My pc spec

Asrock 7600

Intel i5 12400f

16 gb ram

I use Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon distro
my specs are as follows:
CPU: i7-6700
RAM: 32 GB
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 550/550X

In Elden Ring I have visual glitches that appear every 30-180 seconds, for a few frames. They look like a bunch of green, and blue squares on my screen. Is there a way to fix it?

I've been using windows my whole life and I want to switch to linux but I'm just thinking of reasons why I should. Sure, Privacy and adds and all that stuff but I've managed to fix that with an autounattended.xml file and this software called Winhance. The only plus I can think of is customizability and performance, but I still want to switch but im just not sure its worth it. cause of compatibility with a few games I like. (Valorant and seige) Any advice?

Hi, I need a distro for gaming and compatibility with 32-bit games with kde or gnome desktop enviroment and mangohud or vkbasalt can work on the distro, I tried distros like : (Cachyos - Endeauvor Os - Nobara - Pika Os - Fedora), and these distros are great but for me no because most of my games is 32-bit and gta iv cannot work on them, trying to change proton version and try some environment variable or launch option, right now I use pop os and gta iv worked! But I got problems with graphics issues, anyway I need great gaming distro have compatibility with 32-bit games and the desktop environment can be kde or gnome and thanks!

I am using Lutris on Linux Mint (22.2 Zara) to play World of Warcraft and after the prepatch now I get this error message whenever I launch the game.

Anyone else experiencing this? Any easy fixes? I am not so tech savvy so I don't know how to fix this without spending huge amount of hours on this. And of course asking AI will most likely brick my pc when it starts hallucinating stuff and I follow it's bs instructions like a dummy, so I refrain from doing that.

I'm on Mint Cinnamon and used a repack from our pretty girl that works out. On Lutris with ProtonGE. I had these issues: 1. 80sec loading time 2. Freezing/crashing shortly after it launches - at language selection 3. Launching with black stripes on the sides = protonGE 9-21 fixed it - AI said it's because newer proton uses DXVK v2 and it messes up something.

• I've been told 14 and 16 run fine.
• I have all redistributables installed - Lutris handles some and pretty girl that works out also ships them with the game.

what more info can I provide?

Tried wine, proton, nothing works, both shows error. It used to work (with prime-run wine /home/username/application folder) before I upgrade wine. Only bottles works, but I can't use my NVidia GPU, although CachyOS load it on startup. Skyrim crash when I use dedicated GPU. I have to use lowest setting on integrated GPU Intel Iris XE.
