Hi. Just upgraded from an RX6600 to an RX7800XT and seeing all kinds of strange behaviour.

On Endeavor OS (Arch) with Kernel 6.14.6 and Mesa 25.0.5-1, Wayland

Steam sometimes offers me only 2194x1234 as a resolution.

Worse than that, many games have texture and lighting issues. E.g. Elden Ring has coloured squares around the light sources and everything looks like 4 bit shading. Same with Dark Souls 3 and Baldurs Gate 3.

Cyberpunk looks great and runs fine though. I'm targetting 1440p/60 for most games with this card.

Any pointers what I should look at? Is the card fubar, or is it versions of something?

Not Linux-specific, but how do I unpack multi-part GOG installers? innoextract and innounp only work on single-part installers no matter what and gog_unrar.py seems to be broken for some reason.

Intro:
I recently tried playing HSR on Linux Mint and had no success in finding a way to play the game without any stuttering issues. After taking a snoop around the Discord dedicated to the third party launchers on Linux i saw some fixed the issue by using umu launcher which sadly didn't work for me. So I tinkered a lot and found out a way that worked for my setup (listed below). This is also not meant to be a professional guide. So if I got anything wrong please correct me in the comments below.

My Setup:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x
• GPU: GeForce RTX 3060
• Driver: nvidia-driver-570-open
• OS: Linux Mint

1. Download Lutris and the Honkers Railway Launcher in their respective Flatpak variants
2. If you haven't already, download Wine- and Protontricks aswell
3. Follow all the Honkers Railway Setup steps

1. Open Winetricks and select "Create new wineprefix" and hit Ok
2. For Architecture select 64bits and choose a name of your liking
3. Now click "Install a Windows DLL or component"
4. Select the component you want this wineprefix to have. I recommend atleast installing "vcrun2020" and "d3dcompiler_47"
5. Optionally you can also download DXVK here
6. After you are done choosing hit Ok again

1. Launch Lutris and add a game manually
2. For the Name and Sort name type in: Honkai: Star Rail (you can also add the release date if you want)
3. For Runner, choose Wine
4. Now go to Runner options and select the default Lutris Wine version (for me that would be "wine-ge-8-26-x89_64"
5. Now go to Game options and add the following, after you are done hit save

• Executable: Select the path to your HSR installation and add /patch/jadeite.exe
• Arguments: Write out the wine path of your StarRail.exe (If the game is located outside your wine prefix your path should look like something like this "Z:/path-to-game/StarRail.exe", if the game is located within the wineprefix "C:/path-to-game/StarRail.exe" including the quotation marks. Outside the quotation marks add "--" without the quotation marks)
• Working Directory: Chose your HSR installation folder
• Wine prefix: Path to your wineprefix
• Prefix Architecture: 64bit

1. See if you can run the game by pressing play in Lutris if it launches you did everything correctly, follow along to enable 120FPS
2. If opened close the game.
3. In Lutris when selecting the Game there should be a Wine symbol with an uparrow next to it press that uparrow button.
4. Select "wine registry"
5. Now go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/Cognosphere/Star Rail/ and sort by name
6. Find a REG_BINARY called GraphicsSettings_Model_h(bunchofnumbers)
7. Open it and you will see HEX on the left and Text on the right. Unlike in windows you cannot edit the text directly.
8. The first line of HEX should be "7B 22 46 50 53 22 3A 36 30"
9. Erase it and replace it with "7B 22 46 50 53 22 3A 31 32 30"
10. Hit ok and close the registry
11. Launch the game again and enjoy 120FPS.

Afterword:

Hopefully this helped some people who had problems using the Honkers Railway Launcher and were getting a bad performance.

Ask anything in the comments and I will see if I can help :>

The LOD generation will complete, but there will only be textures and not meshes in the output folder. Looking at the SSELODgen_log.txt I see this for every worldspace.

Terrain LOD meshes generation error: LODGen process error, exit code C0000135

I searched everywhere online for this error, but there's nothing about Lodgen on Linux.
Can anyone help me figure out how to get it working properly on Linux? This is the last thing I need to ditch Windows entirely.

I also installed xact xact_x64 d3dcompiler_47 d3dx11_43 d3dcompiler_43 vcrun2022 dotnet40 dotnet6 dotnet7 via protontricks to the prefix and am running xLODGen through MO2 that was installed with Rockerbacon's MO2 Install Script.

On my example:
GPU in the cponkyrc is now hwmon (3->2), in sensors | awk 'NR==(2->1)' and /sys/class/drm/card(0->1) and my Mainboard is hwmon 4->2, etc.

Hey guys, Arch user with a bit of OCD here. I prefer keeping my system clean without any leftover files and i have a doubt. Whenever i uninstall something with the sudo pacman -Rs Xsoftware, are there any leftover files from the software that doesn't get removed?(Like the registry entries from windows and empty folders where the software i installed used to be) If yes, how can I find and delete them.

Thank you for your help in advance

my problem is that ea launcher doesnt remember my acct when i go offline, i tried runnin it in proton tricks, do yall have a solution, i dont want totally offline like cr-ked sims 4 which doesnt have the galley. thank you

I just switched to linux recently and am currently looking for some way to play Honkai Starrail. I tried the heroic method bu the game wouldn't launch for me. If there is any specific wine version or any other method to run it if you could mention it it'd be of great help. Thanks.

Hello, I have the problem of games, starting the screen, the screen is black, but the games sounds are working

Just downloaded the latest patch it used to work pretty well but now can’t open the game no more nothing specific in the logs either.

To those who’ve been able to play Doom (I know there are other issues, that’s not what I’m asking), how is the performance so far? Have you compared it to windows? Not sure if it’s a game that’ll run as well as Windows due to forced RT so was curious what you all have reported.

Hallo,

ich habe Assetto Corsa schon auf meinem Haupt-Linux-Rechner laufen, udn es macht richtig Spaß.

Ich habe es da installiert, mit Proton 5.10 gestartet, danach mit Proton-GE,e s hat eine ganze Zeit gedauert, und nun läuft es. Der Rechner ist ein Ryzen 5300 32GB RAM, NVidia 1050-TI.

Nun habe ich ein recht neues Notebook, AMD Ryzen 5825U, 15" Full-HD, 32GB RAM, Graphik auf Ryzen.

Es ist installiert, der erste Run mit Proton 5.10 ist durchgelaufen. Der Run mit Proton-GE läuft ohne Unterlass und endet nie, es wird nichts grafisches angezeigt.

Hat jemand Tipps, wie man AC hier zum Laufen animieren kann?

Danke für Eure Tipps!

I start the game menu is fine I hit start and 1 minute in the intro and the screen goes black and don’t see anything only hear things going on and then it just gets stuck completely you guys have the same issue??I am using Radeon

Hello dear community, I have an very unpleasant experience with some games. For example GTA5 enchanced is locked to 120 fps it does not drop 0.1 lows are in 117 and its still gives me issues on my monitor. Refresh rate fluctuates from 70 to 130 more or less. It flashes so hard I think it can cause an epilepsy attack. Tried with fullscreen and borderless but nothing seem to help. I have not had this issue on windows 11 (but I had a lot more severe performance issues) My card is 7900xtx and my monitor is 165hz with freesync premium distribution is Bazzite 42. Anything helps really.

Im having a very strange issue. When i play minecraft with shaders on, if vsync is disabled, it is literally unplayable, even if f3 displays 60+ fps. Even the cursor and menu lags; If i enable vsync, the lagging stops but this time a strange synchonization behaviour appears and the camera moves back and forth, giving a online-lag feel. Do you have any idea on what could be causing this?

im on Fedora 42 workstation

Specs

cpu: Intel i7-10750H
mem: 16gb ddr4 3200mhz
gpu: rtx 2060 (mobile) 575.51.02
monitor: samsung odyssey g8 34'' oled

Yesterday I started Doom: The Dark Ages using Keyboard+Mouse because it's a FPS and felt kinda right. But something feels off. So i changed to controller and it was better, more comfortable. What do you think? Always play on keyboard? Some games in mouse and keyboard?

Hi I wanna switch (try out) from win10 to Linux. I want to use it for my daily device. Including studying, general use and gaming. I usually play cs2 or Minecraft. Rn I consider Nobara or fedora, what’s your opinion?

Hello

Recently I moved from Windows to Linux and I can see I have performance loss in linux, for example marvel rivals : i had 90+ fps on windows with rtx 2050 and o linux I barely hit 50 fps

Is that normal?
