Help regarding a minor issue
I have installed both Path of Exile 1 and 2 using wine in ubuntu 24.04. This has created 2 desktop files 1 of each, and 2 icons in show apps.
Now the desktop applications launch each game respectively, but when I open POE1 from show apps, I see the POE1 launcher opens up but a small dot(•) appears below POE2, implying POE2 is opened.
And when I open POE2 from show apps, I see POE2 is opened and the small dot is below POE2.
I am curious about why this is happening, because the .desktop files open both properly, then why is show apps not segregating the applications?

GOG Crosscode native Linux in Lutris on cachyos only quarter screen
Hi all, and thanks in advance for guiding me in the right direction. I have recently bought CrossCode on GOG. It has a native linux installation. Sadly it doesnt work like it should.
- My Hardware: ROG Strix X670e; AMD Ryzen 9950X; Nvidia RTX 3080 by EVGA (thought that was relevant just because I'm saddened by the fact that they left the GPU market) and integrated of course; 32Gigs of memory.
- OS/ Software: CachyOS 6.15.4-4-cachyos; Gnome 48.3 Wayland 1.23.1-2.1; Lutris 0.5.20
- Crosscode settings: Runner= Linux (native) GPU: Nividia RTX3080; No other settings explicitly set.
------
Debug log for crosscode:
Started initial process 6188 from ./start.sh

The debug gives no additional information. No warnings except for the fact that the game didn't run for very long.
I found that this could be a lack of bugfixing from the game creators. It seems they used construct to port the windows game and didnt to it right... dont know if it is fixable or not.
It saddens me to see that with proton it works flawless.... So my great friends of the linux community...is this fixable?

Counter Strike 2 having Performance issue on Arch.
I have been playing CS on arch for like 2 months and there was no performance issue of as such until some days ago...
I was experiencing jitters in between game at a periodic time... But when I played it today it felt unplayable... for context I was getting 200+ fps on highest quality fidelity and 1280x1024 before the major winner announcement update made by valve... But when I started the game today it felt a lot laggy and choppy... and I was getting 30 to 40 fps on the game...
Now I have updated my drivers as I use Nvidia but still the issue still persists... Are the driver updates coming soon or will it take some time???

Kernel update and GE proton - Black Screen and System unresponsive - Marvel Rivals
I have AMD rx 9060 xt gpu 16 gb, 32 gb ram, b550 motherboard, 5600x cpu.
Installed linux mint, steam, marvel rivals. game was not launching.
My GPU was not being recognized so updated the kernel to 6.15 (latest)
now the game launched but with black screen -> proton db users said use GE 10 (latest i think 8). got it and used it. used flags as suggest and also without. game made my system freeze and did not launch except black cutout in the middle of screen.
would appreciate the help here as this is my first linux game test and wanted to transition out of windows if things were working smoothly. currently dual boot setup.

CachyOS - Steam/Proton Playing modded games?
My 5yo win10pc is about dead on Win10 and not eligible for Win11.
I'm seeing that ProtonDb is saying I can play all the fallout and baldurs gate games, but wondering if that includes mod support and how different that would be.
For Fallout4 it required replacing a few dlls and then you had to manage the load order, sometimes making patches so that mods don't overwrite each other.
I'm interested in playing fallout vr, fallout4 both with mods. Fallout London is basically a huge mod on Fallout 4.

Solution to get AC: Black Flag working on Steam ("Unable to find Ubisoft Game Launcher" error)
These steps might (not) work on Steam Deck, might (not) work for AC2 and other titles, or might vary depending on your distro. Of all the solutions google coughed up, nothing worked for me, so I had to hack this together from experience. Hope this saves somebody the frustration.
For anyone struggling to run this on Linux- without Lutris/Protontricks:
(on receiving the "Ubisoft Launcher not installed" error, perform these steps)
- Download the latest Ubisoft Connect Installer executable from their website.
- In Steam, top left menu, Games -> Add a non-steam game to my library...
- Click "Browse..." and navigate to the folder containing the downloaded .exe. (If your browser's downloads are set to default, /home/username/Downloads/ )
- Select the UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe and click ok.
- Right click the newly added non-steam game from your library, named "UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe" by default, and select "Properties"
- In left pane, "Compatibility", select the checkbox and select your version of Proton and close out of the dialog.
- Launch the "UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe" game from Steam by hitting Play and go through the entire install process with the defaults. At the last step, do not launch UbisoftConnect yet. Uncheck and close it.
- Locate the newly installed UbisoftConnect.exe. You can use a file search (i use Catfish on Mint) to locate the most recently modified UbisoftConnect.exe . By default, my path was: /home/username/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/2729711752/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Ubisoft/Ubisoft Game Launcher/
note: the folder "2729711752" might vary, but it should by another equally long number in that directory. - Make sure the UbisoftConnect.exe is present, and copy the path.
- Now right click on Black Flag in your library and select Properties.
- Paste the copied path into the launch options and then match it to this exact syntax (without the quotation marks) :
" PROTON_REMOTE_DEBUG_CMD="/home/username/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/2729711752/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Ubisoft/Ubisoft Game Launcher/UbisoftConnect.exe" uplay://launch/*gameID*/0 "
Then close the Properties dialog.
11a. The above command makes the Ubisoft launcher open in the same "container / instance" as Black Flag so that it is detected by the game. - Right click on Black Flag in your library, Manage -> CD keys. Click on it to copy it to clipboard.
- Click "Play" on Black Flag, and wait for the Ubisoft launcher to pop-up. If your launch options worked, you should no longer get the error here.
- If prompted to login to Ubisoft, do so. You should be prompted to enter your Black Flag CD key. Paste it from Clipboard.
- Ubisoft Launcher will add it to your Ubisoft library and finally launch your game.
16(optional). Remove the "UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe" non-steam game from your library.

Low effort meme but those Linux distros deserve the entire world for their efforts to Linux Gaming and making it more accessible.

I need help with Resident Evil 2 GOG Version on Linux
This is really distracting and I've tried everything that came to mind.
I installed Classic Rebirth, but that doesn't even launch on linux (If someone knows a way please tell me)
I changed resolution, turned off and on v-sync, raised anti-aliasing and disabled it, ran it on windowed mode and full screen. But no matter what these lines are always there!
I don't know what to do anymore does someone have a solution for this?

Helldivers 2 runs pretty poor on Arch linux.

A successful Linux install, a brewski, and a walk down memory lane. How y'all doing tonight?
I know it's not a game.
I have the games I play working. What I'm missing in Linux is the functions for correcting the design of 3D parts. There comes a message telling me to use Windows.
I use the orca slicer. The other slicers don't complain about anything.

Can’t get battlefront 2 (2017) to start on Linux mint
Recently bought battlefront 2 on steam and tried to play it, but the ea app either doesn’t start or doesn’t load properly.
When I use proton 7, the ea app loads up without any ui elements, just a blue box.
When I use other proton versions, steam is able to launch the game, but the game doesn’t start.
I have tried to download the ea app with lutris, but that doesn’t seem to work either as I can’t start the game through the app.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game and it still doesn’t work.
Has anyone run into similar problems with this game?
Any help would be appreciated.

Looking to make the switch!
Tech literate, but would rather not have to configure every little thing as IT is my major. My main use case is gaming but I'm not looking for a "gaming only" distro like Bazzite as this is my main PC. I've used Mint on my laptop for a while and enjoyed it, but have seen conflicting opinions on everything to the point that I have no idea what is good or not. Any reccomendations or general advice is greatly appreciated. :D
