I recently started experimenting with Lutris to play older windows games. It works amazing getting them installed and running. But I ran into this issue with Deer Avenger 4. I'm sure I am probably SOL on it, but better to ask first before giving up. This black texture keeps following the character, like some part of it isnt loaded. It did not do this on windows. Any advice on what I should do? Like what runner may help or architecture, I am running it using x64 architecture. x32 seems to crash it. PICTURE ATTACHED.

Hi!

I'm new to Linux and am running Bazzite. I'm having a hard time getting consistent performance out of my Dualsense controller.

On Spider-Man 2, the haptics and adaptive triggers work, but the sound coming out of the controller when performing specific actions (thwip, swing, etc) make a weird quiet bouncy sound (sounds like Mario) instead of the associated sounds (played the game on PS5 and now how it should sound)

On Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, I'm getting the triggers to work, but none of the haptics or rumble. For example, when it rains, I don't feel it in the controller.

I've tried using a couple different dedicated proton found on GitHub. But none worked.

Anybody had a similar set of issues? Thanks!

Heyo all!

I am brand new to Linux and am using Linux Mint. I own a Focusrite Scarlett Solo Gen 4 and it works pretty well on Linux. The big issue I have is after a fresh PC reboot, my mic works in a discord call for about 2 minutes and then cuts out and doesn’t work until I restart discord and then it’s fine until I reboot the PC again.

I’ve searched and can’t find much on the internet so hoping someone here will be far more knowledgeable!

Thanks in advance!!

Edit: It seems like it’s a possible issue maybe in Pipewire from some research I’ve done, but I still am pretty new so hopefully someone else has had this issue! LOL I can recreate the issue just by restarting pipewire, so must be some mapping thing happening when Discord opens which maybe requires Discord to restart so that it fixes?

so when i watch youtube to run game with flatpak-based launchers (such as bottles, heroic/lutris flatpak version) they want to enable GPU acceleration and Shared memory, but will it make a difference? I've tested it and prob didn't see any difference...

Im thinking about switching to Linux mint and I was wondering if there's a linux version of streamplify? Any help would be great

Pretty much what the title say. I was playing Cyberpunk on steam without any issues, but after about 10h of gameplay, the game keeps freezing randomly, random places, random times(sometimes it freezes as soon as i load one of my saves), and i don't know what to do anymore. Only happens on Cyberpunk, i've tried elden ring, overwatch 2, Minecraft with heavy shaders, and i play it normally

I've tried changing everything, distros, configurations, full screen, borderless, DE, and nothing seems to work. Help me, please :(

My PC :

i5 3470

RX 5700 8GB(yeah, i know about the bottleneck, but i bought it really cheap)

16GB RAM DDR3

SSD NVME 512GB

So just got a 4K monitor, testing it out and stuff, things appear to be okay. Played a game, the Dead Space remake specifically, playing at usual ultra settings has it run like shit. I thought, "Okay, guess this 4K thing is a whole lot more demanding than I thought," until I looked at my GPU load being stuck at 50%. Not at all sure why this is, tested out the GPU on its own using OCCT, still stuck at 50%, including when combining both CPU and GPU. I do believe this is not a bottleneck of the CPU. Any ideas?

Specs:

CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

GPU - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080

RAM- 32GB 7200hz

Monitor - Samsung Odyssey G81SF

How yall feeling while linux is taking win after win because of valve ?

I just feel sorry for og linux fans because they been waiting too long for this to happen, im just glad I became a fan like only since two years or three .

I am currently using Debian with ZFS raid 1 mirrored disks. Is it fast enough for gaming?

At first it was a simple network problem, I thought the game was just messing with me, but now it says "request failed. Please first use repair now in the launcher for current game" I went to try repairing, didnt work, thought I was triggering anti cheat for some reason(I wasn't), I tried switching launchers, didn't work. I've been scratching my head over this for 2 days. I can't find anyone with the same issue.

I am using an asus TUF Gaming FX505DT,

AMD Ryzen 7 3750H,

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile.

I am on Garuda Mokka.

Running Nobara (Fedora) on an i9-14900K and 5070ti

The Curseforge appimage works great. Loads up, installs any version of Minecraft, MC loads fine…runs great, no problems there…

Except the mods I chose never show up in the game when I load it. They are listed as installed and active in Curseforge; even between reboots and such, but never have options or anything in the game. Am I missing something?

I just realized I don’t have optifine in the mods folder, so I’ll do that next for shaders, but I’ll post the question anyway just in case. I’m pretty sure that won’t fix the mod issue.

Any ideas? Is this because it’s running out of an appimage file and not technically installed?

I decided to switch from Windows to Linux because of Microsoft spyware, but so far all I’m getting is stress. I keep getting this error every time I try to run a game. I tried looking up tutorials, but no luck. If you could help me out, it would be much appreciated.

Made a "steam machine" out of an AMD BC 250 for my kids, for Christmas. AMA.

BIOS update was simple

Bazzite, re-based to performance image.

Cooling fans pointed in all 11 dimensions lol. Fan curve is directed by the board itself to keep up with thermals. There is a case fan pin out, on the board itself, that I have a five fan controller hooked up to.

Emptied out an old pc case and put parts in what atx landmarks were still in the case.

Runs off of a no-name 650watt PSU. Used a 24pin jumper kit for always on. Originally had it running on a very old 300 watt PSU but it died in two days of use, it was 10-15 years old from a pre-built, likely not a power draw issue, but i went big on the relpacement at 650 watts anyway.

Little janky, but I have a remote on off switch interrupting power between the wall and the PSU that acts as a power button. Its the kind you use for christmas lights.

Used a m.2 to sata converter card. I use a 1tb ssd and an old 3tb spinning drive for storage, the sata converter card works perfectly.

Cheap no name Bluetooth usb antenna, again works very well, hooks up flawlessly to a few steelseries bluetooth controllers.

Only been using it for a few days, but runs everything Ive thrown at it flawlessly so far.

I dont have any fps stats yet.

But so far runs low to mid demand games at 1440 high settings no problem.

Internet connection is ethernet.

Was a satisfying project, kids like it, wife approved too, she has been playing portal 2 for hours on end lol.

When I turn on the system, it shows me this.

the highest fps i get is 180 but throughout the entire game my fps is fluctuating massively, one moment it will be 160, then the next it will go down to 70. this doesn't just happen every so often, its happening throughout the entire game. only time i get consistent fps is when im on the menu. im on an rx 6650 xt with an i5-11400f on arch, i checked my gpu util and its only every at like 50%. i thought it could be a cpu bottleneck but i looked at my cpu and that's only at like 40%.
Ive also been experiencing this weird issue where every so often my game will randomly cut audio and the only way to fix it is to either restart the game or if that doesn't work, switch my audio device, restart the game and then switch it back. im using a kde Pipewire setup.

i already tried a few different launch options but nothing rly helped. here are my launch options right now:
LD_PRELOAD="" -sdlaudiodriver pipewire

So, I have a portable game on "/absolute/path/to/game/game.exe" when I run

wine "/absolute/path/to/game/game.exe" on "game" DIR it works (like it should), but running the same command on a different DIR (say the "to" DIR) it doesn't work!

I test it with other portable games I have, and they work (even with a bash script) someone knows why this is happening? and how to fix it?

I'm on Fedora 41 and Wine-staging 10.15

Thanks.

Can anyone help me with this 2006scape v3.3 by mige? I’m having an issue where when I put it onto pay to play world everything I do lags by a second like theirs a ping issue?
