So, at first, it was working after a fresh install and was able to play few matches, but when I wanted to play again, it didn't bring me to the main menu anymore, leaving me stuck to a blank loading screen (with a background, after a "loading..." sign disappears), for some time till I had to alt-tab and forcefully close it to exit. I've tried deleting the contents of my custom and cfg folder as well as clearing out my launch options. Nothing. Verifying integrity only worked for a bit until it didn't work anymore. Switching its compatibility settings to Proton worked just fine, but that put me in an insecure mode (obviously).

Here's my system info:

• OS: CachyOS
• DE: KDE Plasma
• CPU: Intel I5-7400
• GPU: Intel HD 630
• RAM: 24GB (don't ask me why i have that much)

Hi, I've bought AC1 on GoG, linked it on Lutris and changed the language using the registry editor following this guide successfully, but now I can't hear any dialogue with NPCs in game. Anyone had the same issue?What can i do to fix this?

Some specs:
OS: Linux Mint 22.1 x86_64
Lutris: lutris-0.5.14

I have fusion fix installed and rockstar launcher tells me there are corrupted files even though last time it somehow stopped. Do you know any way to bypass it while keeping social club for achievements and stuff?

I want to switch From Windows to Linux, Jetzt I have a shoes with making steamvr on Linux CachyOS. I was trying to make the transition from Windows to Linux, yet for a noob it's quite hard to accomplish. I also tried to install Monado with OpenXR, though there are no proper tutorials how to install it properly as well as no easy to understand documentation.
My PC is also has good enough specs to handle SteamVR on Windows on its own. I believe if it were to work, it would run like a dream in comparison to Windows 11.
Please help me qwq

So I've recently switched to Debian (yesterday) after testing in a VM for a while and I really like it. But I have one big problem. Basically what I did was I kept all my drives as they are in NTFS from when I used Windows as I have a dual boot on separate drives. Now I'm not sure what the problem is, but when I manually mount the drives, I go to steam, I set my directory and I launch my game. It works seamlessly and all is fine.

But for some damn reason when I try to automount it in fstab it refuses to launch any game. It recognizes them, I go press play and it looks like it's starting. The green "Play" turns into a blue "Stop", but then a few seconds later it turns back into a green "Play" and nothing happens.

I tried messing with which folder the drives go into and all sorts of stuff and nothing is working.

In my fstab folder I have: UUID:TheUuidStuff /media/P1-Drive ntfs defaults 0 0

I've also tried with KDE partition manager and it was: /dev/nvme1n1p2 /media/P1-Drive ntfs nofail,users,nosuid,nodev,x-gvfs-show,exec 0 0

And that didn't change anything either, I've even tried changing the path from /media/ to /mnt/ and nothing. The drives mount properly, games are recognized but they don't run. The only way I can get it to run games, is if I open up File Manager, right click the drive and press mount, then the games run normally. Any idea what this could be?

(sorry but English isn't my native language) Hi, I've never used a Linux OS in my entire life but I'd like to leave windows for good and this subreddit gave me the motivation I needed. I have an ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA507NV Ryzen 7 7735HS, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8GB 2 SSDs (500GB and 1TB), 16 GB ram I use it to play some games (Minecraft, civilization VI, baldur's gate, some friendlop games) and also for programming (Unity, C, Java), taking notes at university and spending time on discord with friends.

I've been looking around a bit and I'm thinking about using either catchy OS or Nobara, which one of these (or any other) would you suggest?

Will I have some problems with Nvidia drivers / using unity / anything else? Is there a armorycrate/ g-hub version for Linux? Does discord work at all? Can I easily screen share?

Thank you so much!!

Hey everyone, so I'm aware that the game has several issues ofc but I recently faced a problem where the game would only crash on a very specific setup, which is an RTX 50 series GPU on Linux with the latest 580 version drivers, so I had to downgrade to 575 to make it work, I also checked protondb and turns out that its better to recompile shaders in-game every single time you launch the game to not get any stutters, so I tried to do just that but the shader compilation takes nearly an hour which is too long. For reference, my specs are as below:

CPU: i5 11400f GPU: 5070ti RAM: 24GB Distros: Fedora 42

Now Ik that the CPU is obv a heavy bottleneck factor but I dont think the CPU itself is so bad to the point where shader compilation would take almost an hour, no? Specially since for some of my friends and others, it seems to take only about a minute. Anyone have any idea what might be happening and if theres any fix? Thanks.

Como dice el titulo - Que version es la mejor para utilizar con steam?

Quiero pasarme a linux pero aun no se bien que version utilizar. Ustedes cuales utilizan y que tiempo estan usandola? Les ha generado algun problema ademas del tema de anticheat.

I’ve been waiting and checking on progress of going full time Linux for decades. I’ve dabbled every year or two and removed for various missing features/functions. Gaming has always been my blocker and showstopper. Over the last couple months I have been soooo elated to come home to Linux and unhealthily distro hop (I’ll call it sampling..) what every one has been up to. After many dozens of dual boot reinstalls, I’ve come to conclude for me it is Arch, Fedora, and their forks work best for me. I love the latest releases but only with snapshots setup- already saved me a couple times!

Real talk, gaming.. tons of Steam games in my library and I want to support them with all the added Proton / Wine magic they’ve been doing for our Linux movement.

Current hardware- 7800X3D, 64 GB 6000, 4090 RTX, 4K OLED Gsync gaming monitor, multiple nVME drives for OSes and/or extra space. I’ll unfortunately need to stick to dual booting due to some proprietary work apps and Secure Boot / TPM 2.0 needs. I’ll probably only install those pesky kernel anti-cheat games on windows with my work Win11 boot option for now. Everything works as is right now, but I’m looking to min-max my Linux setup. Key concern is nVidia not being friendly with drivers and possibly performance in Linux. I’ve debated going to AMD GPUs to go even more all-in here.

4K works pretty well right now, joining the list of folks waiting on DX12 improvements but forcing DX11/Vulkan where possible. I’m debating just staying put with my 4090 till possibly the next AMD GPU series releases with more power to push 4K gaming at high settings or not. So far, seems AMD GPUs by the data can’t compete at high 4K FPS and settings with nVidia higher end GPUs, yet. I want to support AMD for their Linux friendly releases once we’re there.

My question after all that, what would you do if you were spoiled like me to maximize my Linux main boot and gaming options? (First-world problems, I know..) Budget not an issue but avoiding waste.

Hi eveyrone,

I'm not really a Windows 11 lover and I was thinking to switch from W11 to linux since I mainly play single player games on it.

My questions are:

- Does legends or runeterra run on linux? And hearthstone? I think all other games I play will run

- How can I switch between my iGPU (ryzen 7840HS) and dGPU (nvidia 4050) automatically based on which app I'm using?

- For now I would like to keep w11. Can Linux use the games from the game partition without having to install them twice? What about savedata?

Pentium N3710 processor (4 cores and 1.6 GHz clock speed) 2 GB DDR3 RAM These are its specifications

How does the game run? Have you experienced any problems and how is the performance?

I am really looking into switching to linux but gaming is my one hiccup.

Also how is it with mods? Any problems with that?

• Intel i5 10300H
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
• 16GB RAM (if matters)

It’s a hybrid graphics system - Intel UHD + NVIDIA. Everything works fine except for games. They just don’t use the NVIDIA GPU at all and instead run on the Intel UHD Graphics. I’ve tried almost everything, but no luck so far.

If anyone has managed to get their GPU working properly on this (or a similar) laptop, how did you do it?

I'm running CachyOS hyprland, I've installed battle.net via steam then installed wow.

Recently I've been running into issues where everything will completely freeze and my PC will crash to a black screen with a blinking underscore.

I then have to hold my PC button to shut the PC down and boot it back up again to get anything to work.

I think this may be a memory leak? But have nothing to confirm that.

Can anyone advise how I can investigate, or if others are facing the same/similar issue?

Hi, I would like to use a Dual GPU setup but there is something I don t understand : how to setup properly.

I am new to this, even if it looks like the old 3dfx days

I am on Bazzite-nvidia flavor.

I have a dual screen setup but I only use one screen (primary) when playing with or without LSFGVK. secondary screen is for reading.

My main GPU is RTX 2070s. currently pluged into both monitors via Display port.

I am planning to buy an RTX 3050 6 Go for LSFG-VK frame generation. bonus question will it run at 3x without artefacts?

here is my trouble understanding how it works.

As I understand :

-When using the system WITHOUT lsfgvk enable (like normal 2d games or normal system usage) I must plug my main screen to the 2070s and secondary screen to the RTX 3050.

-When using the system with framegen turned ON the RTX 3050, I must plug my main screen to the 3050 and 2070s to the secondary screen?

There is something I am missing/ not understanding.

Higly unusable ? or using more displayport / hdmi cables to connect both cards on both displays?! ?

Please explain like I am five, I am new to using linux as my main machine, liking it !

Take for example games like Fortnite / Apex Legends where the server is responsible for handling up to 100 players. Both of these games worked on linux at one point and technically the base games still do under proton. However, they are intentionally blocked on linux due being unable to enforce client-side kernel level anti-cheat protections.

In these games, all players update the game server with their current coordinates on the map. The server in-turn updates all clients with the coordinates of all other players on the map. The client's game then performs the logic on the client-side to determine which players should be visible and should be rendered onto the screen. Wall-hacks exploit the data from the server to also render players who would normally not be visible (such as those behind walls).

What is the reasoning behind why a server cannot withhold sending enemy player coordinates to the client until that enemy player is supposed to become visible? What are the implication of using this as a strategy to prevent wall-hacks?

Hi guys! I don't know what happened, but I can't set my gpu power limit lower than 305W. Previously it was 250w. i have 0xffffffff in grub but it doesn't help

I have an old, low-spec laptop, I installed Endeavor OS because it's lightweight, but I want to know if there's a specific distro for gaming that works well on my laptop and I only plan to play Minecraft, Hollow Knight, or NFS MW. Which distro do you recommend to get the most out of it?

I'm currently using Bazzite, and I really like it. But I think I'm ready to try something a little more challenging, and I want to migrate to CachyOS. Importing my whole home folder seems impractical and unnecessary, everything I want to preserve can be easily backed up to a separate smaller disk... except my Steam games. So, I have an idea, and I want to put it out there before I just go and do it in case I'm missing something or neglected something important.

I'm thinking I should shrink down my current partition, I have plenty of free space left over to do it atm, and then create a new, temporary partition just to put my games on. (I'm not sure if making it a Steam library through the Storage settings menu is the right idea here or not.) Then, once I've installed CachyOS, I just drop the games into my fresh Steam install, nuke the temporary partition, and then expand CachyOS's to encompass all the free space.

This seems like a good, clean solution to me - but I'll freely admit I lack the knowledge and foresight to know if this is a good idea. I just don't want to redownload all my games again. What do you guys think?
