Its a weird problem, i have two disk (a SSD and a HDD), i install terraria in my SDD and it works awesome! But when i installed Risk of Rain 2 it ran well when i first launched, i closed it and a few hours later i wanted to launch it again, but it doesnt open anything ("Play" button goes to "Launching" and then return to "Play". It compiles Vulkan shaders before doing so). This also happens to other newly installed games.

What is even weirder is that it launches perfectly when i move it into my SSD. Anyone know what may help?

What i have tried so far:

• Verified the game files through Steam.
• Made sure I have all the necessary dependencies installed.
• Tried different Proton versions, including the latest and Experimental.
• Checked the drive where my Steam library is installed (it’s on an NTFS drive).
• Changed the permissions and ownership settings to ensure everything is accessible.
• Updated my system

I just released my game Tearscape which also has a native Linux build. It was a bit of a pain to build for multiple platforms but I want do my part in pushing for Linux gaming. I'm a Bazzite user and I want to see this community grow. Some Linux players already tried the build and no problems so far, of course most are Steam Deck users.

Its my first big release and I'm pretty excited/nervous. I'm much more of a programmer than an artist so there is definitely some more visual polish to come as I update it, but I'm really proud of where its at right now. Its on sale right now for under $3 USD so if you have the means please check it out and leave a review :)

Developed and tested on Ubuntu 24.04.3 🐧

Hi, I just created this Reddit account for my YouTube channel, If you've tried running SP Football Life 2026 (Smoke Patch for PES 2021) on Linux and hit that annoying "unable to create iSteamuser" error with Proton – you're not alone. It bricks the game every time.

I made a complete step-by-step tutorial (19 mins) that fixes it permanently using Heroic Games Launcher + Wine 10.16 Staging. Tested on Arch Linux (kernel 6.18.7), but works on Ubuntu, Fedora, etc. The tutorial is in Spanish, just in case.

Guys is there anyone else that can't use Ctrl alt F4 command. Ctrl F4 works fine but Ctrl alt F4 doesn't work

It's running on GE Proton, but this fizzy noise keeps happening. I tried putting WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" %comand% in the launch options and changing the audio settings in fallout4.ini

Is there anything else I can do?

Much thanks to this poster!

Hytale made a great decision in using Flatpak for their Linux release-but there's a few rough edges to begin with. So here's how to get Hytale working and looking good.

This should fix any graphical glitches and the dri3 crash.

Getting started:

Go into Driver Manager, make sure you have the latest driver available for your video card. Make note of your version. Mint has the driver name in bold, then the version beneath that. You want the version number!

For example: My current driver is NVIDIA 590 open, version 590.48.01-0ubuntu0.24.04.1. So I will write down nvidia-590-48-01 and use it for the next step. Ignore anything after those first three sets of numbers.

Next, open your terminal. Insert: flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.gl.yourversionhere

Install it system wide, say yes and let it install.

Installing Hytale Launcher:

Download the Launcher from the site.

You can install the launcher via terminal or via a Flatpak storefront, such as Warehouse. Either will work. You can also launch it from Warehouse.

Restart your computer to make the launcher visible. It should now be playable.

You can also add it to Steam, by clicking the plus sign at the bottom left corner and install non-steam game. The Hytale launcher should be in the application list.

I am currently into an early access game and my AMD GPU is way to weak to handle the graphics. FPS fell below 60 fps near to 30. So i was forced to try out frame gen. There are options for FSR frame gen and XeSS frame gen.

One note before the results though, i can't tell you how much i dislike intel. I actually hate this corporation for several reasons one of which is that intel slowed down the PC gaming evolution for decades and due to their illicit anti-competitive behavior. I really hate them from the bottom of my PC heart. Together with AMD and their patent cross licensing they force PC gamers into a vendor lock in. And i really hope that once the PC gets opened up by evil Microsoft with "Windows on arms" the situation might improve in terms of cheaper arm based hardware CPU and GPU wise which drips down to Linux Gaming.

I know that AMD gets praised much by a big part of the Linux community for their open source drivers on Linux. But people should really know that AMD actually retreated from writing such e.g. amdvlk. It is in fact Valve's engineers who write the MESA RADV ACO driver and implement new features as long as AMD open sourced them. If AMD doesn't, like in the case with redstone and FSR4, then Valve can't do something about it. So much for open source and how AMD treats their business partner Valve.

Now to the results and i really, really hate to admit this. But AMD's FSR Frame Generation is really garbage in comparison to intel's frame gen. On Linux native wayland XeSS frame Gen is so good, especially since it runs on a non-intel GPU namely on my AMD GPU, that you nearly can play 30 fps games as smooth as if it was 60 fps. I wish i had an Nvidia GPU by the way and hope that DX12 translation gets fixed very soon there. It is really a mystery how the heck AMD always delivers suboptimal features in comparison to the competition. It all seems like half baked and they still demand high prices for their GPUs. So yeah i don't know about you guys but how can AMD deliver this mediocre garbage like FSR 1-3 and restrict okayish FSR4 to RDNA4 while intel has an AI upscaler for ages already that runs on non-intel cards and on top of that a very good frame gen solution that runs on non-intel gpus too?

I somehow got the feeling that the linux community should rather focus on intel's upscaler suite in terms of picking it up and improving it. But unfortunately intel fails their promise to open source XeSS still. And this reveals them as liars. They could get a really good reputation in the Linux community if they changed their business ethics. And i really like intel's Tom Petersen who worked for Nvidia before by they way. This guy is really sympathetic to me and seems to know what he is talking about. And i especially like his approach to Gaming by giving the prime focus to frame pacing. This is the number one issue that breaks immersion. Unfortunately Tom Peterson and intel don't give much attention to Linux Gaming according to a recent interview and wait until it gets more popular.

Hey guys so ive installed arknights on linux, addet it on steam and made it run with proton compability but when ever i press launch the launcher vanishes and suddenly reapears but game cant start. any one else had same issue?

Pretty much the title, the game works perfectly when I'm not in a party but every time I join one it's a matter of a dozen of seconds or a couple of minutes before it crashes. I'm using the latest release of mint cinnamon with a ryzen 3900x and rx 9070xt and latest available drivers for the associated kernel. From what I've gathered online it seems to be a linux only issue but I haven'tfound anything. I'm wondering if installing the windows version and running it through proton could change things?

It's driving me insane and I want to play with my friends please someone help.

So, I want to be able to modify the upscaling presets, I don't know if there are any other tools (let me know if there are!), but I decided to go with SpecialK through STL, thing is, it requires some windows libraries. Ok, no problem, that's what winetricks/protontricks is for, but I saw that you can manage that through STL and decided to do it that way, but I couldn't make it work, so I think I'm not understanding how it works. The wiki doesn't help much and I couldn't find good guides. Any help is really appreciated!

‘SpecialK’ requires ‘api-ms-win-crt-string-|1-1-0.dll', which is not available in the WINEPREFIX currently running with 'Proton-CachyOs Latest" submitted by /u/faSpetru

Hey

I've been pretty busy and I haven't played any triple A games on this system except RDR2 about two years ago and I remember the performance I had on 1080p was great.

Since then I've only been playing indies that are not intensive at all in terms of performance and never thought I have a problem.

Now I have a 1440p monitor and I tried to play some games and I'm seeing horrible performances (especially bad spikes) and I just want to know if these are somewhat expected values or if there might be some misconfiguration with my system.

Oblivion Remaster everything on LOW, DLSS on Ultra performance: AVG 30fps, 1% 13fps

Witcher 3 dx12 everything on LOW, DLSS on Balanced: AVG 32fps, 1% 6fps

Witcher 3 dx11 everything on LOW, no AA: AVG 33fps, 1% 10fps;

GPU utilization 99% in all cases.

I have hybrid graphics using the official nvidia drivers, I'm on Wayland and I tried proton hotfix and proton experimental for all games, no custom launch options.

The monitor is connected with DP to an HP dock (G5) and the dock is connected with USB-C to my laptop. Both laptop and monitor are 144hz.

Specs:

• Kernel: Linux 6.18.7-arch1-1

• Display (LC32G5xT): 2560x1440 in 32", 144 Hz [External]

• Display (BOE0AAD): 1920x1080 in 16", 144 Hz [Built-in]

• DE: KDE Plasma 6.5.5

• WM: KWin (Wayland)

• CPU: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11400H (12) @ 4.50 GHz

• GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q [Discrete]

• GPU 2: Intel UHD Graphics @ 1.45 GHz [Integrated]

• Memory: 16 GB

• NVIDIA-SMI Driver Version 590.48.01

My specs: Ryzen 5 5600GT, 8 GB RAM DDR4 3200 MHz, 2 GB VRAM allocated, 16 GB Swap
OS: Zorin OS 18

When I try to run CS2 natively, that first error appears: VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST. I have tried many things, including using the Kisak PPA to update Mesa, updating Proton, and several other performance things.

However, when I use Proton Experimental, CS2 runs at high settings with 60 FPS (on training sessions), but I then receive a VAC warning when trying to play online (I don't have nothing on the lauch options and I verified the game files).

What is happening? I understand that my specs are not great, especially the 8 GB of RAM, but why does Proton work while native does not?

I have been searching for solutions for two weeks and have used ChatGPT many times, resolving several errors that appeared in the logs.

PS: When I set VRAM to auto, the computer just freezes. I tried Xorg too.

Kernel: 6.14.0-37-generic
Mesa: OpenGL version string: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 25.3.4 - kisak-mesa PPA
Vulkan: Vulkan Instance Version: 1.3.275

I am tired of Windows 11 ,it has so many ads and bloatware🙄literally it consumes all my ram and power usage .. I hate the overall feel of it . I don't play games much (minecraft occasionally) ,I use it for mainly browsing, movies,music sh... I am taking computer science as my major and I have heard ,Linux is better for coding ,is it? So I have this sudden urge to switch to Linux because I just wanna try it's different flavors or what you call Distros.' I also enrolled in a Udemy linux course.....I want to really learn it... Can someone suggest me what to do?..pls Guide me (Sorry for my english)
