Hello, I am trying to download Roblox Studio using vinegar in Linux and when I try to do any installation with Vinegar, it sends at the end of it this error code:

Vinegar experienced an error:
failed to setup roblox: install version-9b68669a3b644e31: setup: unhandled package: RibbonConfig.zip

Any solutions to this problem?

I also couldn't miss out on this opportunity to show off Nobara, an anime character, on here while running Nobara. Should I let this be my main OS?

I have a PC with AMD 7900 XTX and I'm trying to connect it to my Sony TV (X85K) that has a VRR feature. However, it looks like it can't detect that my TV has it as shown on the screenshot. Adaptive Sync is not shown on the Display Configuration setting. Do I need to enable it somewhere? I am using an HDMI 2.1 cable to connect my PC to the TV.

The mod is working to point where i can attempt to connect to a server, but the BeamMP Launcher crashes before it loads in to the server, or it spits out some lua script error in game, then crashes. Also something to note: I had previously gotten it work completely fine about 5 months ago, and I installed it the same way from then to now.

Here's what I've tried:

I've already tried using the vulkan and the directx version, no difference.
No mods installed other than BeamMP.
Using default settings in BeamNG.
Tried switching to proton-ge and proton versions as far back as proton 8.

If anyone else could test to see if it works for them or tell me how they got it working, I'd appreciate it.

Using Fedora 41 Plasma 6 Wayland, r5 2600, 5600xt, 16gb ram

EDIT: I also (sometimes) get this errror:

Hi

The game is a abandonware, it's only a .exe

Can someone who knows better gaming Linux than me try making it running ? I only tried with Lutris and i could have the launcher with random words working but that's it 😅

Maybe I should have tried with Bottles ?

The game is here : https://www.myabandonware.com/game/sega-rally-revo-g2m

Hi! Can anyone help me?

When i got the controller, haptics worked just fine in Ghostwire Tokyo, but now they're not working at all.
When the game boots up, there's a slight tingle from the controller and that's it.

Adaptive triggers work, but haptics don't.

I tried multiple proton versions.

The controller's "audio" is recognized by gnome, and if i go to test speakers, and test the back-left and back-right speaker, the controller vibrates. So the haptics do work, but they're not being picked up by games for some reason.

Anyone have an idea how to fix this?
The only other game i tried was Cyberpunk 2077 and no haptics there either, just on the triggers.

I remember that I seriously tried to use Linux to play games years ago, more than 5 years ago. It was absolute sh*t. I don't even want to remember the time I lost trying to set up Wine correctly to play an specific game and losing 80% of my FPS, in addition to the random ass errors. As I'm not a big fan of Windows, I simply preferred playing on console during those years. Last week I decided just out of curiosity to try playing on Linux again, as I knew about the existence of Proton, but had never tried it. I'm freaking shocked. We went from spending the whole day trying to configure a game to maybe work, to simply opening the game and it works. I'm lying if I say everything is perfect, a few things still don't work 100%, but as a war veteran trying to configure wine, I'm shocked. Thank god Valve exists. Imagine if the PC gaming market depended on... Microsoft? Microsoft Store? The few times I tried to use it, not even the downloads worked properly, and here we are with Valve making Linux a perfectly viable platform for games.

Hi everyone ! With the release of NixOS 24.11 and NVIDIA driver 560/565 and with my trusty 3080, I wanted to try HDR with my LG C3 monitor.

Enable HDR with gamescope in tty worked like a charm but using HDR settings in games like stalker 2 or cyberpunk result in washed out colors for me. I can reproduce this behavior on gnome 47, plasma 6.2 with or without gamescope embeded or not.

Are you people in the same situation ? I though driver 565 did fix this issue?

Thanks a lot !

Hi,

is there something similar to Game Mode in SteamOS but open source that i can install on Manjaro which can launch Windows or Linux games with Proton integrated into it and also Flatpak integration for emulators?

and also how does Game Mode in SteamOS work? does it not load the desktop environment like KDE Plasma and does this reduce RAM usage? if you compare RAM usage of a game launched in Game Mode versus a game launched in Steam launched from within Desktop Mode what is the difference?

Time for my yearly post so we can all look forward (and back) on Linux gaming!

With 2024 wrapping up I think it would be nice to share your personal highlights, and perhaps what you are hoping to happen with Linux gaming next year!

I've found this question: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1451808/use-integrated-gpu-for-desktop-display-and-leave-dedicated-gpu-for-computing-tas

But there's no answer.

It seems gnome-shell is being used by my Nvidia for some reason: https://imgur.com/a/HQFM9Q2

I used to be on a little rinky dink AIO that needed to be on Linux to even run, but I recently spent $250 on a new computer, and now my computer can run windows and the games are better there than they are on Linux on this exact same system. Yes, I'm using an Nvidia GPU (gt 1030), but I had the most up to date drivers for it and everything. If you want the full specs it's a Dell Optiplex 3671 so a - Core i7 9700 (8 cores, 3.00 GHz) - Nvidia GT 1030 - 16 GB of RAM Any advice? I was running my games through lutris

Game won't start on either proton or native versions with an error message of

CRenderDeviceMgrDx11::Init():Failed to create Dx11 render device

I have 7900xt and this is the only vr game it won't open.

title, some games randomly have a horrible buzzing sound, mostly older stuff. halo 2 on Mcc has this issue but only on the in game dialogue, muting that fixes it but other games like grim dawn every audio track makes the buzzing sound, changing volume doesn't stop the buzzing from being max volume, only muting.

I've tried both pulseaudio and pipewire, i had a similar issue with some visual novels and my solution was switching wine to a 32 bit version, issue is I'm not sure how to do this for steam games and proton. cheers and thanks for the help

Edit: I'm on linux mint if it means anything

Hi, my Steam games are flickering extremely hard with wayland on every single possible WM (I tried kde, sway and river). I am using a Nvidia 1050 TI with proprietary drivers on void linux.

When I use xserver I don't have problems.

Is there any way for it to be playable or do I need a new graphics card? I think every game doesn't work but valve sdl games like dota2 and deadlock flicker extra hard. If i put it in windowed mode it flickers less but it's still unplayable.

Update: Yeah it's all games I just started dwarf fortress from steam and it also flickers.
