Hello there, I have rx 570 8GB and core i7 3770 and running cachyos. I have switched from windows to cachyos. Since my gpu isn't that powerful to play modern games at stable 40-50fps at (medium/high) settings so I was looking for any half rate vsync where my in game fps would cap into 30 fps and on my 60hz monitor I would get no screen tearing.

For dx11 or lower, games I can use the dxgi.syncInterval=2 which works great but can't find anything for dx12 games.

Any help would be appreciated regarding this topic! :)

Steam is behaving very strange. After a cold boot, and log in on Mint v22.3 Cinnamon, I start Steam. It takes an unusually long time to load (I'm on a NVMe SSD). Almost immediately once the Steam window is displayed it queued up some component downloads and updates to games. The Steam window flickered 3 or 4 times and then 3x games showed a Steam Cloud error, but I hadn't attempted to launch anything at that point. I disabled Steam Cloud saves, and started the update to DoTA 2. After the update I launched DOTA 2. It starts redoing the shaders, which would have been done months ago. After the shaders finish, the game starts the intro. video, but: * the mouse is super tiny * no mouse or keyboard clicks ends the intro video * once the video ends, the game window only partially loads * wait 2 mins. and nothing changes so I attempt to quit the game * 6 mins later the game seems frozen * at the 9 min mark the game window exits but the Steam launcher shows that the game is still running * I had to click the blue stop button to stop the game * DOTA 2 immediate starts another update

The game starts normally after the 2nd update. DOTA 2 is installed as Linux native.

Shadow of Mordor also get a sudden update. It now launches in a small window and has the super tiny mouse cursor. The game is set to run full screen. However, I have to switch to borderless window in-game and then maximize the window. This is also installed as a Linux native game. This behavior is quite strange.

Deus Ex Mankind Divided showed a Steam Cloud error. I disabled Steam cloud saves and start the queued update for the game. After the update completes, I attempt to launch the game. The play button goes from green > blue > green and never launches. The game install is now broken.

I'm not entirely sure what this error means. I tried changing my nvidia driver from 535 to 590 but it didn't change anything. The update manager says I have no updates, and this error just appeared even though I didn't change anything to atlauncher or minecraft. It just appears every time I try to open modded minecraft through atlauncher. I have the logs in case anyone needs them. The modpack is homestead btw

I just made the switch from Windows (used to have Windows 10 on my old laptop that ran ZZZ pretty well), and I'm now on Linux Mint. I have ZZZ set up on Lutrius using Wine. I had my game files downloaded on an external HD with about 90 GB of storage since my laptop didnt have enough space, and I would link the game files from the hard drive to the launcher and it worked perfectly... however when I tried doing the exact same method after switching to Mint, the hard drive doesnt show up as an option to link the game files from. any suggestions to get ZZZ working?

Hi everyone,

I have The Sims 3 installed on Linux Mint 22.1 through the EA App via Lutris. The game itself launches and runs perfectly fine, but I simply cannot get LazyDuchess' Smooth Patch (version 2.1) (pretty much essential for playing the game) to work. It doesn't appear as if the patch is in effect at all (I have the option to show a message on startup enabled but nothing appears when launching the game, and the FPS limit I set obviously isn't working; my FPS is in the 400-500s). So far I have tried:

• Adding wininet.dll and ts3patch.asi as overrides through Winetricks
• Installing both the most recent version of vcredist and vcredist 2013 by running the exes through the same Wine prefix
• Installing vcrun 2008, 2010, 2013, and 2022

There's not a lot of information about this online and I'm kind of at a loss of what to do next; I feel like I'm just running in circles. The frustrating part is that I have installed TS3 and gotten the Smooth Patch working before, I just absolutely cannot remember what I did to make it work. Hopefully someone will have run into this before or has an idea of how to fix it.

i wanted play Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 1 like always but EA app doesnt wanna to update anybody knows how to fix it

my Operating System is Fedora Plasma KDE edition

my gpu is 7700 XT

cpu amd ryzen 5600

ram 32gb

I have a DualSense controller which I want to use with Nobara43. The target game is Control, started from HeroicLauncher.

I tried to add the game as non-steam game and enable steam input to no avail.

when I start the game from Heroic, I have the touchpad as a mouse and enter

when I start the game from steam, there is no activity from the controller

I tried to connect both via USB and bluetooth, the behavior is the same.

I did not tried another game.

I tried "evtest" and observed that all the buttons are detected when pressed. (chatgpt recommended this)

Help please :)

Hello everyone, as the title says I want to play Stardew Valley on Linux. I haven't switched to Linux yet and I'm still on Windows, but in a week or two I'm definitely going to make the switch. I'm using a PC with 4GB of RAM and honestly, Windows 10 uses way too much RAM.

The thing is, I have this Stardew Valley save file that I don't want to lose completely, but if there's no other way... I'd have to buy the game on Steam, which doesn't bother me since it's definitely worth every penny, but it does bother me that I've already bought it and can't continue that save file.

It's either that, or I'd create a partition and have both Linux and Windows. I'd only use Windows to play Stardew Valley tbh

Quick explanation for people not familiar with assetto: It's a driving/racing/drifting sim. There's a modded launcher called 'content manager' which provides detailed settings, and obviously management of mods. There's no linux version of this software. I also need Fanatec's software to have my steering wheel working. (also windows only)

The way I wanted to go about it is to use bottles, and basically use it as a VM. Install steam, assetto. Content manager and Fanatec's driver software.

I'm a noob to linux though, is there a better way to go about this? Or is this how you'd do this as well? Also, will a standalone shifter work for example? I think it behaves the same way a button box or controller.

Following the recent video by Digital Factory I decided to give a try and play Bloodborne on PC with ShadPS4 and all was going swimmingly.

Performance is all right. I'm playing on Linux and with Ryzen 5 5600x, RX 6750XT and 32Gb RAM. Mostly I've been able to get steady 60fps on 1440p, but there seems to be some memory leak so if you move between areas a lot, you start getting slow and need to re-start.

I also needed to install Vertex Explosion Fix mod since otherwise the game crashes or becomes unplayable very quick.

I've finished the main story now with little issue and am now in the DLC areas. I'm fighting Ludwig and got him to the second phase on the first try and then it froze in the cutscene.

I re-started, tried again, got him to phase 2 again - same issue.

Tried turning some patches on/off but with the same result.

Anyone encountered this? Do you know how to fix it?

Trying to play Against the Storm, but no matter what I do it is always the same: normal fps in the main menu, then a hard 18 fps cap when I load into the game. I have tried changing in-game settings, proton versions, nvidia driver versions, making sure I'm using the dedicated graphics card, but nothing works. Here's my system info:

• Laptop running Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit OS
• AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS with Radeon Graphics × 6 CPU
• NVIDIA Corporation GA107 [GeForce RTX 2050] GPU
• 16GB RAM

Where can I find the GameUserSettings.ini file for Arc Raiders on CachyOS?. On windows I used to go to %appdata% but I am not familiar with the equivalent on Linux, thanks

Hi, so i recently know that AntiLag2 is available on linux right now. so i set this ENABLE_LAYER_MESA_ANTI_LAG=1 var and successfully make it work on lutris. Which is installed from package manager.

When running games through Lutris with Optiscaler, fakenvapi.log shows

Adding AntiLag extension

AntiLag 2 DX12 initialized

LowLatency algo: AntiLag 2

But I can't make it work on Flatpak Steam, whether native linux game CS2 or PROTON games. (i can't use native Steam cuz my package manager doesn't include it)

When running games through Steam with Optiscaler, fakenvapi.log shows

Vulkan AntiLag can't be enabled

LatencyFleX initialized

LowLatency algo: LatencyFlex

So i wonder if it's not implemented or am i missing something.

Any tips? Thanks in advance!

I’m trying to get these games working I can’t seem to find the right proton
