Hey guys,

I’ve been having a weird issue lately. Some old games just refuse to launch — games like Mirror’s Edge, Gothic 2, or Gothic 3. I click play, Steam says it’s running for a second or two, and then... nothing.

Newer and way more demanding titles like The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, and Dying Light: The Beast all run flawlessly.

Logs: https://pastebin.com/xWir4Bvk

Anyone else running into this on newer AMD cards or Fedora 43?

My setup:

• GPU: Radeon RX 9070 XT
• OS: Fedora 43 KDE Edition
• mesa: 25.2.4
• vulkan: apiVersion = 1.4.318 (4211006)
• proton: GE-10-17 , 7.0.6 , 8.0.5
• kernel: Linux 6.17.1-300.fc43.x86_64
  

Now im not sayin the online portions of course, i mean their respective singleplayer modes like battlefield 4/1/5 and such, or is it hard coded across all platforms for the anti cheat as a requirement to boot the exe? as from what i hear gog allows players to launch their games with drm free no matter what

Hello, I have decided to switch to Linux mint (windows 11 was starting to piss Mr off compared to how nice windows 10 was) but I'm worried about launching steam games. I know about proton and most games I play have native Linux support, but I play a lot of warframe and after searching it I found some people have errors when playing. Does any have any experience with warframe on linux and If so how well does it work?? And how do I get it working on steam??

Hello, guys. My wife has been using Bazzite + KDE for a while now, but recently (around 2 weeks or so) she's been having issues with Marvel Rivals. She's tried a few Proton builds (Experimental, GE, and CachyOS), but for some reason, the game freezes her system after a while (2+ matches some times takes a little more time). I wasn't able to find anything related to drivers via journalctl, so I'm reaching out to see if anyone else has experienced this issue.

Edit: She's using an AMD GPU.

aight so i got ZZZ up and running on lutris with the hoyoplay client, and i mean sure the game does look good, but its nothing insane, changing the rendering option from 1.0 to 0.8 helps, but then the game looks bad, i think it should run much better without resorting to the settings too much

specs are: asrock challenger rx 6600 8GB ryzen 5 5500 8GB ddr4 2133mhz game is installed on a hard drive

so has anyone else gotten consistent, above 60fps performance with similar specs or is the game just poorly optimized?

Sorry for the cut video, OBS is another issue I’ll have to solve later on linux. As you can see in the video, I’m experiencing a strange problem with choppy frames, but only when frame generation is enabled in Cyberpunk 2077. The issue is exclusive to Cyberpunk, it works as expected in The Witcher 3, Indiana Jones and other titles.

Things I’ve already tried:

• Different distros (Linux Mint and now Arch with Omarchy flavor);
• Different GPU drivers (started around version 575 I think);
• Different Cyberpunk builds (Steam and GOG versions);
• Switching between HDMI and DP cables;
• Enabling and disabling VRR in both system and monitor settings;
• Torturing LLMs with the same question with no luck.

So you guys are my last hope to solve this.

Could someone explain simply the situation with FSR / FSR 3 and Linux implementation and how to enable / check it's working.

If understand Steam has FSR 1 already implemented through proton but for FSR 3 this isn't a system wide option it has to be implemented on a game by game basis and the game has to support it?

I only ask because playing STALKER 2 on steam with experimental proton the FSR 3.1 option is greyed out and I wondered how to enable it?

Now, to be fair I'm getting 70fps on ultra settings while running on a 3840x1600 resolution ultra wide but I'm concerned with GPU temps and how to scale things back a bit.

Do I need anything more than latest mesa drivers to implement FSR 3.1? Do I need GE version of proton or anything else for example? Are there specific launch commands in steam I need to enter for each game? I can't seem to find a simple guide that covers this.

Current system:

Fedora KDE 42 Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 907O XT Ryzen7 7800X3D Mesa version 25... Something (can't remember!)

Any guidance greatly appreciated.

Hi guys! It's my first time asking here so be gentle with me. So about a month ago I was trying to run wuwa on linux. It gets me pass through the login and even got in game. I wasn't satisfied with the performance (stuttering and lagging), when I tried it on windows it runs buttery smooth, well at least on my hardware. So I back into windows for a while, only for wuwa.

Today, I want to give it a shot one more time but I stumbled into different issue. When I was about to login, I cannot accept the Terms of Service screen because it shows nothing. I tried to click the close button but it asks me to login again (of course). So does anybody has the same issue with me? And maybe if somebody has the workaround please tell me. Thanks!

My setup:

OS: latest NixOS with latest Hyprland
Runner: Bottles with Proton-GE 10-17
Hardware: ASUS TUF A15 FA506IC (Ryzen 7 4800H, RTX3050, 32GB RAM)

This is the blank screen that I'm talking about

The Godot project has issued a second release candidate, 4.5.1-rc2, aiming to deliver a highly stable hotfix. This new build incorporates a wave of critical bugfixes that emerged following the first RC snapshot last week.

So, after finally getting my thinkpad for university I got in love with fedora workstation its just so so much better than windows. Now that the last good OS win 10 is dying I decided to also use fedora on my desktop, but I have some questions:

1. ⁠I use an AMD gpu is fedora good with it and with the amd drivers
2. ⁠i play valo and fc26. luckily i have 3 ssds in my pc. will there be any problems if i use windows on my slower ssd and linux on the faster ones. EDIT: I would use fedora mainly for coding stuff etc but also light gaming like( terraria especially with mods, minecraft, older nfs like mw underground) will they work on linux as good as they did on windows?

I bind my scroll wheel up and down to left and right click (i have a normal profile too) for the games I play, and on my windows laptop it works perfectly, not slow not delayed, perfectly fine.
On my main machine, running Nobara, when i try to scroll fast, i get significantly less clicks registered, and each time i start scrolling my pc again registers much fewer clicks.

I did a quantitative test on CPStest.org and on windows i can consistently hit 13+ cps up to 28, scrolling as fast as i can. On Nobara, that same method peaks at less than 5 cps.

Is there some kind of system setting or input preference or mouse driver thats causing this? I turned off smooth scrolling and nothing changed.

Bought Battletech from GoG back when I still used Windows and now that I'm using Linux I've been installing GoG games through the Heroic launcher. I'm still learning how things work on Linux so certain instructions go over my head. I'm trying to install ModTek following these instructions from the Github (https://github.com/BattletechModders/ModTek/blob/master/INSTALL.md) and extracted the zip into the game folder. The second step is where I have issues:

I don't know what this means. Do I run a terminal command or are these launch options? And i so how do I add them in Heroic since it doesn't do launch options the same way steam does?

Ayudaa, nose que haceeer, tengo un gamesir g7 se e instale linux mint en mi pc de bajos recursos, el problema esta en que, reconoce el mando en jstest y en steam en los juegos no los reconoce y me toca utilizar una herramienta de steam para emularlo como xinput, otro fallo es que en los navegadores lo reconoce como gamesir pero los gatillos, botones y el joystick no funcionan, probé de todo instalado xone, xpadneo y nada no funciona nada, porfa que alguien me ayude, quiero jugar en xcloud y en geforse now y por el problema de los navegadores no puedo :(

Yo Skyrim fans, what's up with ENB on Linux? It keeps crashing my Skyrim, either before the game even loads, or less than a minute after it loads (but before I can even start a game).

I'm testing with just ENB and nothing else, to eliminate other culprits. I downloaded it from the site and followed the instructions (copied the files into a clean Skyrim, changed the .ini to enable LinuxVersion). I can see ENB compiling shaders, and then soon afterwards the game closes. Nothing in the logs stands out to me. I have the full Skyrim SE+AE+CC combo. I read some guides that suggested adding a few extra d3d .dlls (d3dx11_43, d3dcompiler_43, d3dcompiler_47 etc.), but none of that seemed to help. I haven't experimented much with Steam command line args, because I couldn't find any guides or success reports.

What gives? Has anybody gotten this to work recently and knows how to do it?

All other modding works great. For example the Tuxborn list (~1600 mods but no ENB) works flawlessly, but as soon as ENB gets into the picture, everything breaks 🙄

Hello,

I switched from Windows to Linux Mint on my old Asus Tufbook and so far it has been fine, but I am not a Linux expert in any sense of the word. I have some old games that I would like to run with DPI scaling so I can see them better, but DPI scaling doesn't seem to work in Lutris.

I read about Gamescope and it sounds like it will do what I want, but it's not in the software manager and the GitHub page lists a bunch of scary commands for building it myself. I can try and find the flatpack, but it seems that won't work with my non-flatpack install of Steam. Is there a PPA somewhere that will make installing Gamescope a little less intimidating?

Thanks in advance for any help!
