Quick shout-out for this controller I've been testing for the last couple of days.

- Hall effect sticks, gyro, imitates a Switch Pro controller (layout and connection).

- $20-30$ (20$ on coin page in Aliexpress app).

- Works out-of-the-box (including Gyro) with emulators (e.g. Ryujinx), also with and Steam Input (gyro aiming in games is possible but not tested yet). Tested on Arch with a cheap Realtek Bluetooth 5.4 stick.

- Different from the "Ultimate 2C Wireless", this post is about the "Ultimate 2C Bluetooth Switch"

It's really weird, I press shift to sprint in the game. Then I press again to stop, but in GNOME XORG it won't stop right away. It will continue sprinting a few seconds more. XFCE doesn't do that. I am using some Dell Laptop with i5 1235U with 16GB RAM. Using Iris iGPU.

Hi! I'm looking for some info as this is the weirdest issue I've come across playing games with Proton. To be clear, this is apparently a known issue with the game, that's been reported by different other people in different places. Reports are super scarce but I've not seen anyone say it worked for them on Linux so far.

Armored Core 6 is a mecha game, and one feature it has allows you to put decals on your mech. These decals are 'emblems' that are made using an in-game editor where you essentially stick mostly vector images together. You either select one to put on a predetermined spot on a mech part or you can add 'custom decals', which you can place anywhere on the main surfaces of the part's model using a visual editor.

Here's the thing: on Linux, custom decal placement does not work as it should. For whatever reason, you can't place decals wherever you want, you can only place the decal on seemingly random, specific (to the pixel) spots on any given part. Anywhere else, the game doesn't let you (just as if your cursor was placed over one of the naturally decal-incompatible sections of the model). It's not just that the decal isn't being rendered: the UI shows as if you're hovering an invalid location, confirming does nothing, it renders fine when it is in a valid position, and mechs that do have custom decals look just like they should AFAIK. This is what's weird about this issue: it's seemingly not tied to graphics, the file system, device drivers, plain compatibility or whatever other thing is usually problematic on Linux, it's literally the game working differently on a different platform despite going through a compatibility layer.

I'm trying to figure out what could cause something like this in order to know if there's a possibility to have a workaround. One theory brought up by someone I spoke to was that EAC was the one causing issues as the game does use it, but when running the game offline with EAC disabled (I even tried it with mod-less ModEngine2 injection, which should remove any EAC related dependencies while present), the issue still occurs. I've posted a thread to /r/armoredcore asking people to report their configs in the chance someone might unknowingly be on a Proton version not experiencing issues or at least to gather information.

Do any of you know what sort of black magic could be causing fuckery like this to happen? Anything helps.

I'm playing GD on Mint OS and my secondary monitors are only 60hz so I have to turn them both off for GD to run at 240hz, so I need gamescope to force it to run at 240 when my other monitors are on

I bought a Ubisoft game on Steam and managed to run it. I was presented with a Ubisoft Connect window requiring an account so I registered and then it showed me this window asking for an activation code. is this normal?

I logged in to the Ubisoft Connect account in the browser and didn't see any game linked to it.

Fedora, runs on Proton Experimental

Hey guys, I have recently made the decision to start moving to linux and dual booted Arch and Windows on an SSD since I still need Windows for some stuff. Splitscreen gaming is very important to me and I am wondering if the compatibility of different games is better on partydeck (since I heard not every game needs a separate handler) than it was on Nucleus Coop where each game needs its own handler?

Tenho um ThinkPad t480 com I5 8350u e 16gb de ram Fui pro Linux por que o mh rise dava erro 25 e fechava no meio da caçada o jogo roda bem em 720p mais de 30fps e pra mim já estava bom , ao ir para o Linux o jogo rodou muito melhor sem o erro 25, mas as texturas ficavam piscando fiz de tudo , mudei versão do proton usando os drivers mais atualizados no cachyos e os problemas ainda persistem.

Couldn't use my cursor when launching it natively so I tried launching it via Proton experimental and this happened. (No mods are active) Other games work fine btw.

Hello, I have an issue with last of us part 1 where weird pixels show up on screen any time that shadows or fire show up, I found one report on protondb mentioning that you need to turn ambient shadow resolution to full but for me the pixels still show up with no change. I'm using an nvidia gpu and amd cpu. I tried multiple proton versions, currently using GE 10-32

Hi everyone,

I’d like to share my project, SpinForce Legends, a modern reinterpretation of the classic Pong arcade game built entirely in C using SDL2.

The goal was to preserve the simplicity of the original arcade experience while adding modern mechanics and strong game feel. The project includes dynamic power-ups like Multi-Ball and Slow-Motion, an adaptive AI opponent, a custom particle system, screen shake effects on impact, and dynamic UI feedback to make every goal feel impactful. It also features immersive music and spatial sound effects using SDL2_mixer.

Tech stack:

• Language: C
• Libraries: SDL2, SDL2_ttf, SDL2_mixer
• Platform: Linux

I built this project to explore game feel in pure C, modular architecture for small-scale games, and implementing visual polish systems without relying on engines like Unity or Unreal.

The project is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 and is open for expansion (non-commercial).

Repository: https://github.com/Malk97sc/SpinForce-Legends

I’d appreciate any feedback on architecture, optimization, AI design, or overall game feel.

I've tried using heroic to play rocket league and once started it gave me a popup of wine being updated i didn't give it a glance then game ran just fine then i went to lutris and noticed my games were taking too long to launch and weren't going to launch any sooner and once going into logs and stopping the game says "exit error code 256" the wine prefixe directory for heroic is my external hardrive /run/media/user/Games/Heroic/Prefixes while my lutris prefix is /home/user/.wine. i mansged to get around this once by just deleting whole .wine folder then launching game again and i would get a wine popup of it being updated but now once i do it again it just keeps on saying launching it won't work. while playing all games from lutris to heroic works just fine. into lutris i have all my game saves is there any way to move the saves to heroic from lutris?

I recently installed CachyOS on my system and its been working great so far. But one major issue Ive encountered is how few matches I'm getting in Tekken 8 compared to my friend on windows. We're both close in rank (I'm Dominator, they're Destroyer) but I hardly get a match in 10 minutes compared to them in 1. Besides that, I also frequently run into the issue where in the loading screen before the match starts, It says "connection to opponent has been lost", they haven't gotten an error like once.

I haven't found a concrete solution to this online, and I've already done most fixes like setting locale, proton experimental/hotfix and setting ports. Really hoping someone can help me here, as I don't want to switch to windows because of this.

As the title suggests, I am now on day 8 or 9 of using Linux only for games. Honestly, I knew I would love it, just needed a full day to set everything up. I've been using Linux for work for about a decade now, but after Microshit kept bugging me, I decided to go all in. First impressions? Boot time is a lot shorter, and no wonder, there are no 153420983457 startup apps. Can I disable them on Winshit? Yes. Does an automatic update revert that change? Again, yes. It is good to have full control on my PC. I knew that getting Steam to work, installing the games, and configuring Wine would be a tiny bit of a headache, but once it is done, smooth sailing from there. So far, I tested a few games. Cyberpunk 2077 worked great with no extra tweaks needed, which really surprised me. GTA IV (never got to play it until recently, since it was on sale for like 2 euro's) took some to get it up and running since it is an older game, but nothing that hard. Monster Hunder Wilds works well, I feared that since it is multiplayer, I could get banned. And out of it all, I installed Carmaagedon II from Steam, and it just fucin worked out of the box. So much of this stuff is now automatic, I was prepared for a lot more manual work and debugging. And with AI these days, getting answers is no hard task. Performance in games is a bit better than on Winshit, which is also not surprising. I expected some level of stuttering, maybe random visual glitches, but no, it just fucin'n works. At this point, I've only tried installing games from Steam. GF is into WoW, which is still there on the HDD (I only formatted the SSD when installing Pop_OS!), and from what I can gather, there are launchers that can make it work since the files are there.

This is something that I should have done way sooner. And paired with KDE, everything is butter smooth. Yes, Pop_OS! Comes with Gnome by default, changing that to KDE caused absolutely no issues for me. Personally, I did not like Gnome, especially how hard it was to change language inputs from my preferred keyboard shortcut. I suppose that is on me, since I have been using KDE for about 98% of the time. So yes, welcome to the club for me, I guess.

I opened up X4 and I had these weird artifacts when it started showing 3d graphics? Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? It runs in xWayland if that helps. I tried some other games and it didn't happen there. I'd appreciate any help you can give me. I can add more information if that would help.

I'm kinda posting here since i'm at the end of my rope with this issue. i feel like i've tried everything i can possibly find online and nothing has helped even remotely. the game just keeps freezing up it's normally not hard freezes since the pc goes back to normal functionality after the freeze although it can take several minutes.

I've been working on Lexispell for a few months mostly on Linux Mint and I recently released a public demo in preparation for the Next Fest.

Lexispell is a small roguelike word game where letter move and merge in a cauldron. You buy scrolls to modify the rules and try to score more.

The game is made with Godot which is a perfect match for Linux. I'm super close to ditching Windows entirely but unfortunately I'm still using Affinity Designer for this game's asset so I'm kinda stuck.

I'd love to get your feedback on this demo so please don't hesitate!
Also, if you have questions about Godot or making games/content on Linux, I'd be happy to answer.

Demo available on Steam and Itch.

Eu não consigo baixar nenhum aplicativo no Linux, tento no terminal e não vai, e a loja de apps q veio abre mas nada baixa
