distro: ubuntu 24.04

kernel: 6.14.0-37-generic

de: gnome 46 wayland

proton version used (for both) is proton 7.0-6, both are being launched with steam, cracked copy is from fitgirl repacks (latest one)

i pirated doom 2016 from fitgirl repacks and played it a bit, then bought it on steam and used this reddit comment to convert the crack into a legit copy, but i cant get my saves from the crack to load on the legit copy

both games are installed on an ntfs drive so i used the symlink method (symlinking compatdata to a directory that isnt ntfs, in my case ext4) to fix proton not working

i tried to copy my saves from ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/3522252278/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Saved Games (where the cracked copy saved it's saves) to~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/379720/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Saved Games and `~/drvE-steam-compatdata/379720/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Saved Games` (`drvE-steam-compatdata` being the folder i made for the symlinking solution mentioned above) (one of the latter two is the legit game's save folder, not sure which) to no avail

cracked saves

the legit game has no saves and the cracked one has a save at a level past the cyberdemon (i forgot which and the cracked one isnt launching for some reason)

i also renamed my drive to drvE (unmounting and remounting to a new directory and editing fstab to reflect it) because it used to have a random name which may be relevant

Hello,

I created a new guide for modding games in linux.

It is still under construction, and your feedback would be appreciated.

You may ask a question and the guide will be updated accordingly, so that it contains best practices and common troubleshoots.

I'll be following the community here also.

So I tried Nightreign on my new PC running Linux Mint and the game runs at stable 60fps during tutorial and on the hub, but then I tried hopping online with a friend and it constantly fluctuates between 45-50ish for some reason. I tried lowering graphical settings but it runs just as bad no matter if it's on the High or Low preset, I already tried using the gamemode command on launch options and it changes nothing. I think my PC (Ryzen 5 5500 9060 XT 16gb) should be capable of running this game at 1080p 60 fps, so this is really bugging me.

I was planning on using fedora btw.

Went through a whole day trying to get this game to launch properly and it always refused to launch properly until then I tried looking on protondb.com to see if there was anything that might help. Of course a few launch options later, the game finally loads and plays on Linux. If anyone has a game that doesn't work I would highly suggest you try looking on protondb.com to see if anyone has a workaround like i did. I am currently using Proton10.0-4 and the command is the following.

cmd=(%command%); cmd[-1]="$STEAM_COMPAT_INSTALL_PATH/SwGame/Binaries/Win64/SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe"; "${cmd[@]}"

I am using Omarchy (Arch), with a Ryzen 7 3700X, an RX 7700XT, and the game is on an SSD. I am playing on Steam, using GE-Proton10-29. The game works fine, and the performance is decent as well, but I cannot get videos of any kind to play. The regular cutscenes have audio, but show just a black screen. Same with the tutorial and skill menu videos. The video box there also just shows a black screen.

I have tried a couple different versions of Proton and that didn't work. I used Protontricks to install MIcrosoft/Windows Media Foundation, along with Quartz, and that didn't do anything either. I don't think I can play the game like this. I need to be able to fix this, or I'm gonna have to request a refund for now.

Hey folks, I'm trying to install a repack and the installer is telling me I don't have enough disk space. Which, I definitely do, according to the system monitor, I should have around 490 gb available. I am using the default /games folder that lutris has installed all my games to so far.

I have tried using different wine versions in the runner options as well as installing newer versions than the default with ProtonUp-qt.

It's worth noting that I'm still pretty new when it comes to using Lutris as well as Linux in general. So, I might just be doing something wrong on a very basic level that I just haven't learned yet.

If anybody else has run into a similar issue, any help would be appreciated.

Okay so I had gotten a dock for my steam deck a few weeks ago and after I was done testing it and had disconnecting it from the dock, waking up the deck caused this EXTREMELY loud sound to happen, almost like a really bad audio feedback loop that wouldn't stop until I restarted it. I'm looking for a way to avoid it from happening again (And before anyone asks yes I tried asking on the steam deck subreddit first and got no answers at all)

I have been trying to enable reshade on stellar blade but it doesnt show up i have tried all the methods reshade works fine for me in silksong as well Did someone else also face the same issue ? Thanks

Basically the option --mangoapp for Gamescope doesn't work or launches outside the game window but adding MANGOHUD=1 to the environment variables displays Mangohud over Gamescope correctly.

Supposedly the Mangohud environment variable doesn't work properly and it's no longer supported but it works better than --mangoapp in my case for some reason?

having some trouble with GTA V mods on Arch. I typed on the steam launch options WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%, but the game still isn't loading the trainer mod. Anyone have solutions?
