Hello,

I'm trying to troubleshoot Grand Theft Auto V not being able to launch.
It's stuck at "Launching" on Steam. No window appears, nothing happens.

I'm running Arch.
I tried it to give me any kind of error log with `PROTON_LOG=1` but without any luck.
The log only appeared once after running `steam-runtime --reset` without anything conclusive in there.
I wasn't able to get it to appear since.
I tried many different Proton versions (5.x, 6.x, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, Experimental...).
All fail in the exact same way.
I tried reinstalling the game but it doesn't help.
I tried deleting the prefix but it also doesn't help.
Verification of game files also gets stuck and never completes,
The installation also actually gets stuck at "Finalizing".
De-installation of the game also fails (I had to wipe-out the game files manually).

What else can I try? Ayone experienced anything similar?

I am trying to install genshin impact on the other disk than the main. For some reason, genshin launcher cannot see the storage space (its 487GB free). I tried using flatseal to give heroic permission to see the other disk, but it did not worked (it still can't see the free space). I also can install genshin on main disk with no problem. I am on linux mint on cinnamon default.
edit: launcher is installed on the second drive

The launch times for games are really slow, especially compared to Windows (just switched like 2 days ago lol). I was wondering if there were any tweaks I can make in steam or anything else that would help this. I know it's gotta run through Proton but I just wanted to double check. Specs below:

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Kernel 6.8.0-35-generic R5 5600X GTX 1060 6GB 16 GB RAM 2 x 2TB HDD (Game drive) 500 GB NVME gen 4 (Boot but some games) Both drives are ext4 formatted, if that helps.

has anyone managed to get these to work together? i use vkBasalt for literally p much every single one of my games, both steam and non-steam, but i cannot for the life of me get it to work with EmuDeck nor with any emulator managed by EmuDeck. i tried using PortProton as a workaround .. but to no avail. :((

The best TGP it can give on 550 driver is 100W, while designed TGP is 140W. Also in some games it constantly drops to around 20W which leads to FPS drops. In 555 beta driver it's even worse: the best I've seen is 90W. GPU temp is always around 70C, so it's definitely not overheating. I have nvidia-powerd service enabled and running. What's wrong with it?

Having trouble getting the official Nintendo Pro Controller working with BazziteOS. Just wondering if anyone else had the same issues. The following happens:

Bluetooth finds it and cannot pair to it (desktop or game mode, doesn't matter). After a couple of tries, switching back and forth from desktop and game mode it magically connects and it works but after sleep or reboot it doesn't work anymore so I need to repeat the process and pray that it gets connected.

The current workaround is that I have it plugged in and the connect part works fine but the issue after sleep still remains (I have to replug the cable for it to work). Any help is appreciated!

EDIT: Bluetooth is on board, my MBO is: Fatal1ty B450 Gaming-ITX/ac

It's only happening online. I tried disabling peripheral RGB, setting controls to default and using default costumes. Offline games work fine.

i changed to beta driver because tiny glade (steam next fest game) supports it and runs smoothly on it, and i have been using x11 for games because wayland goes really bad on apps like steam, krita, and games in general, but changing to beta fixed all.

so my question is, they are currently better than stable? and what are the cons?

edit: i forgot my specs

OS: Arch Linux x86_64

Kernel: 6.9.5-zen1-1-zen

DE: Plasma 6.0.5

1) Install a POPULAR, SERIOUS distro with a LARGE userbase

This means:

No Arch & derivates (except Manjaro)

No Gentoo & derivates (without exception)

No crappy mostly abandoned/already abandoned and/or soon to be abandoned spins of Ubuntu (Ferren, MX, Parrot, Peppermint etc); Debian can also be included here and you know why

LINUS said he HATES Debian and finds it HARD & UNAMEANABLE to use, when THE literal Finnish meta-physics code wizard says something like this you know it's bad

Clowns telling newbies and even fairly accustomed (3-6 months) users to unironicaly use mother🦆ing Arch and god forbid Gentoo are the main reason Linux users are viewed as weird petulant man-children

I'm just gonna list all of the good distros right away

Ubuntu, Mint, Pop, Manjaro, Fedora, OpenSUSE

Have a problem? It's one Google search away, the fellas on the subreddit(s) and discord server(s) will answer it in no time

2) Install Steam & Heroic Games Launcher

run sudo apt install steam in the terminal or just use the software manager, no steam flatpak/snap or the one from their PPA, stick as much as possible to native packages that integrate flawlessly into the system

Heroic will allow you to play your favorite games from GOG, Epic Games & Amazon (tho it kind of lost 90% of its relevance due to LoL and Fortnite now being borked on Linux), install it from their website

Sadly it has no repo or even a small PPA and (I'm really still confused as to why how hard could that be if you've got a team of competent devs that made a multi-lib game launcher in the first place primarily aimed towards tuxies like us, why not make a way for the launcher to self update itself?)

3) Use Proton & ProtonDB

Most games are not made with Linux in mind, so you'll have to use Proton (Experimental) and ProtonDB

To enable Proton (Exp) you just have to go to the game of your choice and enable it and voila, it will run even better than on windows

Also use AMD CPUs / GPUs and Logitech peripherals (mouse, keyboard, webcam, driving wheel & all) if you want to have a headache free experience (Quick shutout to HP Printers also)

That's It

So I recently decided to switch from Windows 10 to Linux mainly because of privacy concerns and security. I am new to both Linux and PC gaming and wanted to ask you for advice on which mouse to buy at Best Buy. My old one broke on me so I need a new one asap. The mouse will mostly be used for every days tasks but mostly for internet browsing. As I am gradually getting better at PC gaming I am starting to find myself getting more into it. I still suck though but I'm slowly getting better (coming from console). Any suggestions on a good top of the line mouse I can go and buy at Best Buy that would be great for gaming + general use in Linux? Prefer wireless mice because cords can annoy me at times. Willing to pay premium and have access to Windows to change any settings if the mouse doesn't support Linux software.

i decided to go with linux for my new build about a month ago and been having freezing issues and even swapped parts.

i got the most recent version of pop_os

all my parts are brand new

ryzen 5 5500

asrock a520m

rx580

on a m.2

i started by not having any issues but shortly after i would get random freezes that require me to turn off the computer and then it happens sometimes and not all the times. at the time i had a ryzen 5 1600 and i saw posts that say there was random freezes with that cpu. so i got a brand new ryzen 5 5500 and i still got freezing. if i turn on my pc and just sit there it will not freeze once i go into a game it might freeze. sometimes freeze in the loading screen sometimes 2 minutes after sometimes 30 minutes later sometimes not at all.

i dont know anything about linux as i started a month ago. i can still hear audio sometimes for a bit when it freezes and i try to press ctrl alt f1 or f2 or f3 and it just black screens and nothing happens.

i know its not temps cause they are fine my power supply should be fine at 450watts

any help?

One-second video clips are sadly not supported by Reddit so here it is in frames to give an idea :P

Hey Linux gamers, Rock and Stone!

I got a preception that gaming on linux is mostly a solved problem nowadays - however, random issues remain. Deep Rock Galactic runs perfectly on Win10, however, has problems with shaders (is this called shaders?) on Ubuntu 22.

I have:

• AMD Ryzen 570, with the Official AMD drivers being installed (automatic installation)
• Tried Proton 8, 9 and Experimental - no luck
• Tried DirectX 12 and 11, as well as the "safe launch" and the default option - no difference
• Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
• Changed various in-game graphics settings from high to low - no effect.

Anyone else playing DRG on relatively old AMDs on Linux?
