For those interested here are some performance numbers when running FSR4 on RDNA3 (specifically on the 7900xtx).

In the tables below you can compare all the values between the different upscalers and the different quality levels. All benchmarks have been done on a 4K display so the quality presets results in the following resolution scaling:

Quality: 2560x1440 (1.5)
Balanced: 2259x1270 (1.7)
Performance: 1920x1080 (2)

Based on my knowledge in order to achieve optimal performance you need:

• The most recent mesa-git (changes got merged yesterday that should address some performance discrepancies according to DadSchoorse).
• proton-EM.10.0.23 or newer

If you use an older version of mesa-git you need to set radv_cooperative_matrix2_nv to false. I reported this in the following post (thank you Etaash for the information):
Even more FSR4 performance on RDNA3 in the future

Note: I haven't found any performance difference with current mesa-git so this part is most likely already obsolete.

So in order to showcase the performance improvements I have to use different Driver/Proton versions:

------------------ FSR4 before FSR4 now Proton proton-EM-10.0-20 proton-EM.10.0.23 mesa Mesa 25.2.0-devel (git-7b81c5bb78) Mesa 25.2.0-devel (git-6842a8179f)

System:

• CPU: 7800X3D
• RAM: 2x32GB (6000MT/s CL30)
• GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ 7900XTX, perf. BIOS, 100% power limit
• OS: CachyOS (6.15.3-3-cachyos), KDE

Expedition 33:

Settings:

Epic preset (no film grain, no motion blur)

Mods:

• Optiscaler v0.7.7-pre12_20250624

Notes:

FSR4 performance runs about the same as XeSS quality while looking better. In fact it looks even better than 4K native (TSR 100% looks horrible in my opinion). FSR3.1 also looks really bad.

Mods:

• REFramework

Notes:

This game is getting bottlenecked by something else then the GPU (probably CPU) which pushes the numbers closer together. All upscaling solutions look pretty good in this game.

Notes:

Performance went from horrible to bad. While it shows the biggest gain the performance is only eclipsing native at performance scaling. FSR3.1 meanwhile scales extremely well.

I'm trying to play Deltarune on steam, it's just not working for me at all, I am using GE-Proton10-4 in the run other titles option in Steam's compatibility settings. Whenever I try to open the game, I'm given, "Win32 function failed: HRESULT: 0x80004005 Call: at line 229 in file \Graphics_DisplayM.cpp" I'm on Linux, Ubuntu 22.04. Not sure if I'm stupid and am missing something obvious but I need help on this I spent like 24 dollars on this game i just wanna play it man 😭

From my understanding, 32-bit OS like Bazzite are going to be discontinued or something like that. In the off-chance that Bazzite does die off, what distro should I migrate to that's game-friendly?

I'm considering doing Fedora as that's what Bazzite was based around.

What's your take?

I have a physical copy of LEGO Creator 1998 that I used to play on an old Win XP computer nearly 20 years ago. I no longer have that computer and, since I bought a Steam Deck a while ago, decided to install it for old times' sake.

Right now I'm stuck with the Setup file. When I run it, it can't find DSETUP.DLL, but the installation seems to run fine otherwise:

The installation executable throws this error

The installation then finishes, but I get an ActiveX error when I open the game afterwards:

The error that pops up as soon as I start the game

I believe both of these issues are related to DirectX given the naming of the files in the game's CD, but haven't been able to find a way to fix these two:

LEGO Creator CD's file structure, I run the installer directly from Creator/SETUP.EXE

I had more issues, but they were fixed by the below:

- The installer depends on InstallShield, so i changed the emulated OS to Windows XP (also the same I had on the old PC).

- Two OCX files were not immediately registered by the installer: for this one I tried using regsvr32 manually, but had no luck with the tool. The last time I ran the installer with proton the issue went away on its own. This issue still shows up when I run it in bottles though:

The two OCX that could not be registered, they seem to be related to ActiveX

My question is: how can I run the installer with DSETUP.DLL not throwing the fatal error? I've tried inspecting the .exe files to find the path it expects the dll to be at (didn't see any path), moving the contents of the Directx folder to system32 (no luck either), using depends.exe to check if I'm missing any dll (SETUP.EXE is 16 bit so it can't be checked with the tool) and using winetricks to download dll files that came from DirectX, but none of these fixed the issue.

Happy to add any information that could help pinpoint the issue.

Hey y'all

I'm trying to install an old game called Recoil. I know that it SHOULD work, but the installer throws a hissy fit because it demands that I use windows 95 or 98.

How to do I get it to think it's on windows 98? I tried creating a bottle for it but I got nowhere.

Games like Monster Hunter World and Deep Rock Galactic keep automatically setting my headset to low fidelity mode to enable voice chat even when I have voice chat disabled. I will literally never want to use the mic on my Bluetooth headset, I have a separate mic I use when I want to voice chat, so I want to know how I can permanently disable low fidelity modes/modes that use my mic to prevent games from forcing me into them. I obviously have my headset configured to only use a high fidelity mode, such as a2dp-sink-sbc_xq, but the games I play ignore this and automatically switch when I start the game.

Attempting to run BTD6 on linux - I'm very new to linux.

Every proton version crashes on launch. I installed steam through the .deb file on steampowered.

Most proton games do crash but I'm only looking for BTD6 specifically to run (if everything else starts running too then that's a cool bonus :D)

Apologies if any of this information is not required:

One thing to note is OpenGL v: 4.5 Mesa 22.3.6 renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 15.0.6 256 bits)

I've uninstalled and reinstalled my nvidia drivers so many different ways. OpenGL is still trying to load nouveau and (obviously) fails, so it uses llvmpipe...

I didn't think for BTD6 specifically that would be an issue iirc it uses Vulkan - and other Vulkan applications can use my graphics card fine.

HELPPPPP!!!!! Is there a fix for this? My friend let me borrow his GTA San Andreas Platinum Hits copy so I can stream it on twitch since I never played it before. but for some reason, when I load into the game it doesn’t play the game audio while I’m on stream. My chat can only hear my voice, if anybody have an answer to why it does that you would be considered the G.O.A.T in my eyes!!!!🐐👀

I’m playing on the Xbox series X

I got gnome HDR running in other games, eg. Sekiro with Proton-GE 10.4 and the following steam run command:

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%

Using the exact same, Resident Evil 4 Remake does not let me enable HDR in game setting. Any idea what it could be?

I'm asking here cause I have no idea where else to ask. And cause I use Linux to maybe there are some third party apps to help.

I have an issue with my mouse where I can't press more than 2 buttons at the same time. If I do, the inputs just don't register. But my mouse has a total of 7 buttons including the middle mouse click. It looks like a software restriction the developers put in for some reason. Is there any tool or software I can use to remove this restriction without having to buy a new mouse? I would really love it cause everything else about my mouse is perfect and I couldn't be happier. And even if I do buy a new mouse, there is no guarantee that I'll find one that doesn't have this issue for my budget (I don't want to buy those expensive gaming mouses everyone has)

Hey everyone,

Recently they have added to league a 2v2v2v2 game mode and some friends wanted to play with me. Thing is, I despise windows and it's bloat ware, I refuse to get windows. Do you all know if there is a way to play it without dual booting or anything similar? I really don't want windows in any of my disks. Maybe this is impossible but I thought it was worth a shot to ask you all. Thanks!

Hey all. As context, I've recently started studying cloud computing/virtualization and eventually Linux came up. I was told to use Ubuntu on a VM just to get a handle of the basics and stuff, but honestly, I really want to actually switch to Linux itself. Being an avid gamer since childhood, I've been on the edge for the longest time if I do switch to Linux (regardless of which distro I choose) or not. Now, I know that the gaming scene on Linux has become much better as of the past couple of years but still, these are just a couple of questions I have, how to go about my transition if I do choose it and the state of multiplayer games.

I read the FAQ and while it assured that any distro listed there would be fine, I'm still at a bit of a dead end. I still have an year in my CS course left and would like to use most of the stuff that should probably come up, but also still have functionality with games (this probably sounds really stupid to ask). I'm willing to learn Linux if it means I can game in peace, but even so, I will be unable to dedicate as much time as perhaps most of you have for the more complication versions. Also the recent 32-bit proposal from Fedora (although to be clear I do not have much information on it).

The other question: What is the state of multiplayer games? Personally, this is just some expert advice in a way. I did my research and usually only similar answers came up. Even checked ProtonDB and Are We Anti-Cheat Yet, but still what better research than to ask the people themselves? That's the point of this question.

TL;DR On a dead-end about which distro would suit my current needs while also having gaming functionality without injecting itself too much into my schedule to learn and tweak it AND the state of multiplayer games.

I know it sounds like I'm asking to be spoon-fed/assured about my choices, but that's not my intention, although I wouldn't fault you for thinking that way. It's only that I'm just a Linux noob and unsure of how to go about my choices. Willing to get hands dirty, just don't know where. Any and all help is appreciated.

Hi, how to play Minecraft in Linux with wayland and nvidia GPU ??

I tried to launch it using TLauncher (yea, I don't have license) and it work but not good.

For example "All Of Fabric" modpack don't launch (it's crushing). Forge Modpacks work but when I include Emebeddium it's not work. Also when I turn on shaders it's also crashing after few seconds.

And sorry if my English very bad:)
