Hello,

I have a big problem. I play Hunt Showdown and get from time to time freezes.

I think it was because the startoption in Steam but now I try to play without startoption and get it too.

If i get the freeze i must switch to desktop and than again to the game to solve it.

I try many things out but nothing helps.

Can anybody pls help me?

This game runs otherwise better then on Windows 11. I love to play on linux but with this issue i cant.

Hi I'm using Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon and i can't start my Steam Split Fiction, even with Proton (I'm using Proton Experimental but i also tryed Proton 10.0-4), Idk what to do, please help!!!

I previously installed Freelancer and an HD mod on Faugus and it works great. I go to install D2 and when I launch the game it says:

Diablo II failed to run. Please make sure your Diablo II Expansion Disc is in your CD-ROM drive, then click on 'Retry'.

I'm using a DRM free installer with a key that does not require a CD. It has previously worked for me on Lutris but after a recent update neither game works for me there. So I would really like to get it working on Faugus. Any help is appreciated.

There's a native Linux build I would be grateful if someone could test if it works properly. Thank you so much if you check it out! :)

im using pulseaudio currently, on arch kde. im also using a bluetooth wireless dongle headset.

Hello people,

for a long time I searched for a free and open-source software that lets me use OTPs via Linux.

Today I found CloudOTP which seems to be perfect for my case. The only thing that gives me some headache is that there are no posts about this software.

Does anyone has expierence with this software?

Cheers.

So I’m able to install the flatpak.

I’ve set the installation folder to the internal drive (Documents).

When I load it up, I get “an unknown error occurred”

What am I missing?

Context:

I’m on Bazzite on the ROG Ally

Whenever I start Steam (it's RPM version, not flatpak), it always throws two "bwrap" crash notification into my damn face. Do you guys have solution for this?

Fedora 43 Workstation with Gnome 49.4. But I think it also occurs on openSUSE.

Has anyone run Marathon? I've tried it with Proton Experimental and Proton 9 without success on Fedora 43

Greetings!

After grappling with extremely jarring frame drops and stuttering, and multiple days of troubleshooting - I have conclusively fixed this issue on my AMD RX 9070.

Setup:

CachyOS Linux / Kernel 7.0 RC

AMD R7 5800X

Gigabyte B550 mATX

16Gb DDR4

750W Corsair (Platinum) PSU

Problems/Symptoms:

- Major frame drops and stuttering

- Intense power throttling visible in Mangohud (yellow line)

- Frame drops in Mangohud (green line)

- The higher the load placed on the GPU and the more power required, the more stuttering manifests.

- In Mangohud this is depicted as the green framerate line "bifurcating" or separating from the yellow power throttling line.

Instructions / Diagnostic / Power Management Tools Used:

- Mangohud and GOverlay

- https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU "It is required to unlock access to adjust clocks and voltages in sysfs by appending the Kernel parameter amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff.

- LACT for increasing power limit and enabling power states ("Power Usage Limit" slider maxed, "Performance Level" set to Manual, "Power Profile Mode" set to 3D_FULL_SCREEN. "Power States" checkbox ticked, "Enable Power State Configuration". A small GPU voltage offset is optional here but often benefits 9070's/XTs e.g. -50.

- Steam Launch Parameters: LD_PRELOAD="" PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 RADV_PERFTEST=gpl mangohud game-performance %command%

Context / Write-Up

This is extremely difficult to troubleshoot as the symptoms have multiple causes that manifest in similar ways.

Initially I thought this was VRAM stuttering i.e the GPU running out of memory, the reason I thought this was because I found when I lowered the graphical settings far enough - especially Resolution / Textures / Details and elements that affect VRAM in particular, the problem seemed to resolve itself.

Needless to say, a 9070 should be capable of better performance than 1440p on low settings!

After discovering that lowering memory-intensive settings helped, I initially assumed I was running out of memory - which is insane on a 16 gigabyte GPU.

Then I noticed the power throttling and the low/unstable GPU usage, wavering around the 50%-80% range, lower than expected clocks and - this is key - the fact that the yellow frametime line in Mangohud would separate out from the green frametime line as soon as my graphical settings pushed / asked too much from my GPU.

Installing LACT was the key to fixing this. See the settings in the instructions above.

See the screenshot for proof of absolutely rock solid 100% GPU usage, locked in perfectly.

Conclusion

Power throttling / power limits manifest some very difficult-to-diagnose problems in Space Marine 2, and what muddies the water further, is the fact that this game itself chews through a lot of VRAM at high resolutions and when searching for solutions, one will come across a cornucopia of "fixes" that range from disabling SMT to deleting shader caches, to wiping your OS and so forth.

The power throttling also happens to MIMIC the symptoms of running out of VRAM for reasons I don't pretend to understand, making diagnosing it even more difficult.

After testing in game on all settings maxed out, with and without FSR Framegen - no more power throttling is in evidence and gameplay is extremely smooth, even at 4K - which is, as stated above, where VRAM limitations seemed to have been coming into play, while in actual fact it was the increased power requirements aggravating the stuttering / juddering and general poor running of the game. The multitude of complex optional Steam launch parameters only added to the confusion.

In closing, one has to wonder how many AMD GPUs on Linux are RMA'd for mysterious poor performance, especially on Linux where power/performance settings can be rather opaque, when in actual fact there is a mixture of throttling and (depending on the game) insufficient VRAM - which does indeed cause legitimate stuttering under the right circumstances e.g. an 8gb GPU running at 4K / Ultra graphics etc.

I hope this helps someone and am very keen to get feedback and answer questions.

Thank you for reading.

System info:

• OS: NixOS
• WM: Hyprland 0.53.1
• GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti
• Game: Deadlock (native Linux)
• Monitor: Samsung S24F350 — 1920x1080 @ 60Hz

What I've already tried:

• render:direct_scanout = 1 — minor improvement but gap remained
• general:allow_tearing = true — no effect
• decoration:blur:enabled = false — no effect
• windowrulev2 = immediate — made FPS worse in both modes
• cursor:no_hardware_cursors = false — no effect
• Gamescope — breaks Deadlock entirely (native Linux game, seems to conflict with SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland)
