I know that ever since Vanguard was added, league stopped working on linux. Are there any workarounds to get it running though ? I was thinking of just running it on a windows VM inside linux. Thoughts ?

New to linux I just switched to linux about two weeks~ ago. Just wondering or must I run a virtual machine to play lol?

How well does Icarus run on Linux? I'm looking into switching from windows to Linux but I want to know how well Icarus runs on it

Hello, I'm having issues in my CachyOs (Arch Based) when it comes to wireless USB driver installation. I'm following this repo:https://github.com/morrownr/rtl8852bu-20240418. Any idea what it can be the problem??

Hello, I moved to Arch Linux from win 11, and I wanted to play DmC 4 on steam with proton, but this is what I get, how can I fix this issue? (Tried every proton version, nothing to work somehow)

I am trying to figure out what is going on with Dead by Daylight. I have the Steam FPS counter on and it shows it is correctly running at 90 FPS but to my eye I can tell it doesn't look like that FPS if that makes sense. To me, it looks more like 35-45 FPS even though it is locked at 90FPS. I have tried the newest proton version, experimental, and even messed around with all launch options I saw mentioned on Proton DB for this specific game. It was the first game I downloaded to try gaming on Linux.

I noticed the animations/physics are also seemingly in jittery slow motion and I have no clue how to fix this. I want to permanently switch to my current Linux setup but this transition is difficult when I don't know where to look to solve the problem.

If anyone has any clue anything I should do out of the box with Mint that I didn't realize I had to do to prevent this issue, please let me know! I have my refresh rate correctly set at 180Hz using the display options.

System Specs:
- Aorus Elite X570 motherboard
- R7 5700X3D
- 32GB 3600Mhz RAM
- Hellhound RX 7900XT
- 750W PSU
- 1TB NVME SSD from TeamGroup I got free with the GPU which allows me to get away with trying Linux for now
- Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon
- Proton versions tried: Experimental (FPS counter doesn't work with this version but has the same issue), the newest proton version available, and no others due to SteamDB showing these two versions as stable with the game

I'm debating on switching to Linux for my gaming rig. My most played game is overwatch, and blizzard doesn't natively supports Linux. I know I can use wine or bottles to get it to work, but I play competitivly and I'm worried about the extra layer that wine or bottles will add.

Is this rational?

Has anyone tried to run overwatch on Linux. If so what are your results.

I have basically a flagship spec computer, so the hardware is not the problem.

Would love to know peoples experiences so I can finally say goodbye to windows.

Currently I play games that aren't on Steam (e.g. from GOG) but don't really work via wine alone by adding it to my steam library as an external game and selecting Proton Experimental as the compatibility tool. That works, however it is cumbersome and requires me to have Steam running to run the game (which depending on the game goes against memory constraints of my 15.4GB - I know, weird number, but that's what system monitor says I have - system). So I'd rather just run something like proton game.exe.

How do I install Proton Experimental (which I've found has the greatest compatibility of all proton versions in Steam) standalone on openSuSE Tumbleweed?

Should I run the native version of my games on Steam, or use Proton? If Proton, why should it be preferred?

i know that you can play minecraft bedrock edition on Linux by using an android emulator and the PE of MC. However, this method requires you to buy a copy of MC:PE on the google play store, and i want to play bedrock on the Microsoft account i have it already bought for as the only reason i need to play bedrock is to get the capes from bedrock events such as the yearn cape, and these work on java, but they can only be obtained on bedrock. Therefore, buying bedrock from google play store won't allow me to obtain it as it doesn't associate the same Microsoft account with the google account. Also, i don't want to pay for minecraft again. Is there a solution to this?

I have a PC with a 2 TB SSD which has two partitions: in one of them (1.7 TB) I have Bazzite installed and for the other (100 GB) I decided to install Windows.
I choose the 100 GB partition and the installation went ok. But now the PC boots directly to Windows and I don't see Bazzite in the UEFI settings.

ChatGPT told me that Windows probably "overrode the boot-loader" and to fix it I have to boot into a Linux based ISO. Is that conclusion ok? I have used ChatGPT before for issues on Linux but a few times got everything worse.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I hope you're having a great week! :)

I'm Tibor Udvari, a solo developer, and I'd like to showcase 4 months of changes in my roguelike deckbuilder, medieval city builder called HexLands!🙂 You can try it on Windows, Linux and macOS, although there's a queue right now. (but Discord members can skip it! 😉)
First, here's a quick summary of what I've been working on in my last three years:

• HexLands is a turn-based, roguelike city builder set on procedural medieval islands.
• Grow your empire and adapt to harsh environments!
• Customize your deck, manage your resources, complete quests, and synergize perks!
• How far will your empire reach?

So, what exactly changed since my last post? Well, first, I hit the three-year milestone... Huh, it's been a ride, I didn't expect it to take this long.😅 But I'm getting closer to the finish line, day by day.

Anyway, now you can end your turn instead of the previous "fluid turn system", so now it works just as it does in other deckbuilders. There is also a health system called "reputation", which you must take care of. Procedural quests appear every few turns, offering rewards or punishing unmet demands. Between levels, now you can trim your deck or recover reputation. The update also improves tutorials, settings, visual clarity, and a lot more. Hope you like the changes, let me know what you think. :) The next big update I'm working on is a UI Overhaul and a branching node map, similar to the one seen in Slay the Spire. I also added widescreen support and hopefully soon Steam Deck compatibility.

Oh, and recently I've created a simple promotional website for the game, feel free to check it out. :)

If you’d like to try it, know more, look at some GIFs, screenshots, just visit HexLands’ Steam page and of course... wishlist it in case you like what you see. 😃 You're also welcome to join our Discord server so we can shape the game together! :)

If you'd like to skip the playtest queue, just hit me up on Discord to get an instant access key! :)

And if you just don't care about Steam, you can just download it on Itch!

Thanks in advance for all the feedback and have a nice week! :) ^^

I hv been using linux fr a long time. Had to switch to windows fr skool sometimes. I started playing sekiro recently on win. Later I switched back to linux but sekiro was running significantly worse. In windows I was able to run the game on med-high settings without any lags or input delays. Where in linux the game was lagging extremely bad in open regions, and the input delays were horrendous. No other game has given me this issue on linux all them ran slightly better or equal on linux(ex red dead redemption, cod modern warfare 1,2,3)

I run Arch with Hyprland and I'm running into a problem. Every time I launch the Minecraft Launcher I need to log into my Microsoft account. My password is not saved and snake ass Microsoft sends me an Email with a code I have to input every time. Gnome-keyring comes up often on the topic of password saving but will it keep me logged in or does it just autofill my password? What is the best solution for this problem? Thanks in advance!

I'm livid. Pre-ordered the game to play early. Was having some FSR issues (black screen when FSR FG is activated despite mesa-git compiled this morning) so decided to test out different Protons. Did: Proton Exp > GE > Proton Exp. Launcher picked that as "multiple activations" and locked me out so now I won't be able to play the game for 24 hours.

They had the same thing with Eternal. DO NOT change Proton versions more than two times if you get this game if you don't want to enjoy this screen for 24 hours. Writing to support about this during the Eternal days and explaining that there were no activations attempts and just changing Proton versions resolved in being answered that Proton/Linux is not supported. You just wait out the 24 hour ban to play your game that you paid for.

Also maybe as of now don't enable FSR FG as it leads to a black screen that I can't seem to find a way to revert back to FSR FG OFF.

P.S. as of writing this, they marked my support ticket as "Ticket closed as duplicate" and did not resolve it. Duplicate of what? This is why we push against the Denuvo cr@p. I paid for my game.

Hi, I've recently decided to share my text adventure game/game engine on github under GPLv3. Its meant to be a fully fleshed out rpg game inspired by old text adventure games and MUDs.

A lot still needs to be implemented, but so far the main things you can do:

• go <direction: north, west, east, south>
• enter
• leave
• observe
• take
• attack
• equip <item name, such as dagger>

From spawn you can go north and enter the cave to get a dagger and leave to go south west toward an abandoned mining site. That's where the most content is. The starting cave is when I had stopped working on the project due to college so certain things aren't finished. Feel free to explore it if you wish. The mining site will reveal a fair bit of the games story and the weaknesses of the main enemies. You will need to setup the files in eclipse or another ide that supports the project files. Not sure how you would set it up with just vim and java, but if you can feel free to do so. It uses jdk-23, so having openjdk-23 installed is a good idea.

Hello everyone, I am very new to linux gaming, so I am hoping to find some anwsers here.

I have tried to play minecraft today and I have a strange issue,

Whenever my mouse is connected wirelessly, the scrolling skips a hotbar slot every one scroll.

But when I connect it directly, then it works fine.

Is this issue well known, and if yes, is there a fix for it?

I apologize if I am too much of a "noob" right now.

Thanks in advance
