GPU Screen Recorder is a great program but because you can't choose which programs audio should be recorded, obs is better record if you like to listen to something when you record. If GPU Screen Recorder had this functionality I think I would use this over obs.

Hi, all,

I've installed something like 150 games since finally making the full switch to Linux last year. All have ended up working, most better than Windows, even if some needed quite a bit of tweaking and troubleshooting - looking at you, LoreRim. Today, though, I have officially hit a wall with one: Dragon Age Inquisition. EA is just flat-out determined, it seems, that I will not play this game.

I own the GOTY edition on Origin and wanted to finally finish it, since my roommate is all about Veilguard. However, I cannot get the EA App to work properly, whether running it through Wine myself, through Proton in Steam, or via Lutris. The client opens and (sometimes, depending on my settings) even lets me log in, but it always crashes with error code 104 when I try to actually run it.

So, I decided to try the Steam version. I paid $1 for the trial month of EA Play and downloaded DAI from there. I should've figured EA would still force the use of their garbage launcher. Same issues there. Although it does seem to log in more consistently, it still crashes when trying to load the actual game, usually without any error code. I tried installing Frosty Mod Manager, and it can find the file paths fine and "launch" it properly through Steam, but the EA App still crashes at the same point.

Finally, I threw up my hands and...acquired a third copy. Yes, very bad, I know, but given that the TWO legal copies I already own flat-out refuse to work, I don't exactly feel guilty. Surprising absolutely no one, this version bypasses the launcher entirely and launches the game with no issue whatsoever. HOWEVER, I can't get the Mod Manager to work with it (something about an out-of-date SDK?) and I can't use the Keep utility to download my world state from the previous Dragon Age games, since it's all online and EA, for obvious reasons, refuses to let you simply download a file.

So, I'm trying to get one of my two legal copies to launch properly, the way the other one does. I would also accept getting the other one to work with the Mod Manager, since I can technically edit a new save to get the world state I want, if I have to. I looked up a lot of guides, videos, and threads, but they're either outdated or simply didn't work for me. The problem occurs across various versions of Proton, Proton-GE, and Wine-GE (from 7 to GE-9.18 and Experimental) and on both XFCE on X11 and Plasma on Wayland. I'm on NVIDIA graphics, if that helps.

Anyone have recent experience getting DAI to run on Linux? I'd appreciate any advice on this one, as I've been tearing my hair out about it. If I'm honest, it's mainly about solving the puzzle at this point.

Welcome to my TEDtalk.

Jokes aside, SIMPLE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD ANSWER please, HOW can I choose between the Linux native port and Windows' proton?

You need to choose if all games show up in your Library by default, which makes all games show up and the most you have to do is decide what version of Proton to use.

Practical Example:

War Thunder has both Linux and Windows versions.

I am on Linux, and by selecting a particular Proton version manually I hoped to be able to use DLSS in-game.

It doesn't work.

Now I have no idea if it's still on Linux version or if it's on Windows version (broken) and I don't know how to check.

DO NOT GET ME WRONG,

I am not an idiot, I know how to check for stuff, but even on Steam SOMETHING something that should be square, face and center is hidden behind two or three other pages.

I just want to know if, how and where I can check any game's ability to be started via Linux version or Proton version.

FWIW, i'be been using MSFT since DOS 5.22, but with the erosion of privacy and the maturity of things like Wine and Proton, i felt now was a good time to make the move.

Despite my novice-ness (holy shit, *nix is case sensitive!), i've got my system mostly working! OS is stable, Steam works, I can even launch games. Trouble is- my eGPU doesnt seems to be getting recognized, and i'm not sure where the problem lies.

For the record, i've installed the card, wired it to an 850w PSU connected the eGPU to the miniPC via OcuLink. Then I've powered on the eGPU, waited a few seconds for it to initialize, and then started the miniPC. The card is one of those Suprim AIO cards, both the fans and integrated RGB demonstrate the card is getting power.

The card is connected via HDMI to my secondary display and my primary display is still connected to the miniPC (because neither display is auto-detected while plugged into the card).

I've installed the latest system76 nvidia drivers, but dmesg shows the hardware isnt being detected:

[ 7.993774] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. [ 7.993780] nvidia: module license taints kernel. [ 8.054471] nvidia-nvlink: Nvlink Core is being initialized, major device number 510 [ 8.054478] NVRM: No NVIDIA GPU found. [ 8.056015] nvidia-nvlink: Unregistered Nvlink Core, major device number 510

When i rescan of PCI devices or ask the system what it sees on the pci bus, i get nothing:

pop_os:~$ lecho 1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/rescan 1 pop_os:~$ lspci | grep -i nvidia pop_os:~$

I dont see anything in BIOS that looks out of place either.

I'm kinda at a loss and a tad frustrated. i dont think there's any hardware issue, this was all new-in-box stuff, so i'm not sure what is going on. Please help?

Hi guys, I'm getting a black screen while running Diablo 4. It was working fine before, but I think an update broke it. I'm running Fedora Linux 41 with Nvidia driver 550.127.05. I ran it using Proton Experimental, but I've tried others with no luck. The game runs, but the screen is black and all you can see is the pointer. Does anyone know a fix?

Specs

• Alienware X14 R2
• 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-13420H × 12
• Nvidia RTX 3050 6GB
• 500GB NVME SSD
• Fedora Linux 41

I've noticed that some AAA games apparently have native support for Mac, which raises an eyebrow for me and makes me seriously wonder if there's actually a considerable player base on that platform. Because, as far as I know (and here I might come off as ignorant), it's not a platform designed for gaming, especially with the hardware it comes equipped with. All these news stories about games losing support on Linux have saddened me a lot and make me wonder why developers release native versions for Mac and not for Linux. Is there a specific reason? I mean, thanks to Valve and the Steam Deck, the Linux gaming user base has grown. So why are we still not being taken into account?

Hi! I play a game called free fire. I have tried various things but couldn't play it on Linux. I once got it running on waydroid but it has no keymapping. I need keymapping to play. Please provide me with a suitable emulator. Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi everyone. I wanted to vent for a moment and draw some conclusions based on the current state of gaming on Linux, in particular the competitive multiplayer factor.

starting from the assumption that I play a lot of time on the PC, I am a manjaro user who has tried many distros and modified various aspects of the operating system.

I believe that all Linux players choose this platform because it is actually more fun to use, there is a greater connection between user and machine and it actually makes the PC more "unique", as well as, of course, all the advantage factors as they can be greater security, customization and respect for privacy.

Now, I'll be clear and concise: Doesn't it just piss you off how all of us are treated by corporations? I mean: Linux has all the potential to become a gaming system equal to or superior to Windows. literally, we are the "different" ones who play here for reasons that are evidently insufficient in the eyes of the companies.

I had about 600 hours on Apex, I've been playing since season 5, I think. and yet, does the way they treated us seem normal to you? are they lazy and therefore cut about 4% of the players due to an anti-chat problem, which in my opinion is unjustified? It's not Linux's fault, and it's not ours either. we are simply helpless.

from the point of view of single players, Linux is easily similar to Windows, in the sense that the support is practically equal to it: Linux is perfect for all those games without antiquity and the performance is, except in rare cases, excellent. yet, the only company willing to move away from windows and deepen support for us is valve.

not to underestimate their commitment, but do you really think we will be able to have compatibility for multiplayer games equal to at least 85% of windows?

do you really think that within a certain number of years we, understood as a community, will be considered a little more by companies?

forgive the outburst. I needed it.

Comment with what you think about this situation...

I've noticed that even if the option under Steam settingsis disabled you can still see it enabled per game if you go into the game properties.

I've noticed some slowdowns after playing a game for a few minutes(roughly 20-30) this might be the culprit.

This is via the Beta Update Steam via flatpak.

I've installed Apex, tried to login and it says that steam overlay is turned off. Checked steam settings and properties of apex and it's turned on. Steam overlay even works in other games, tried that already. The weirdest part is that i can sometimes see it open the overlay when it launches the EAC and i can controll it for like half a second when it's there. Does someone know how to fix it?

Hey so I'm new to Linux gaming, I used to have windows partition just for playing games, and now am thinking of removing it. is there any good first person shooting game like Apex Legends or Valorant for Linux that runs natively without any emulator things.

Hi everyone, need a little assistance. I own both games in the title from gog. What game launcher and wine/proton versions do you have running these games successfully? I can't get passed the menu of the actual game launcher of oblivion or Skyrim, it just shuts down after clicking play. I've attempted lutris, steam and heroic games launcher and different version of wine or proton (apparently not the right one yet). Using pop OS

Howdy. So, like many, many other people I very recently decided to switch to Linux (I have minimal experience) because Windows 10 support is ending relatively soon and because Windows11 is slowly turning into hot spyware garbage. I'm no Linux expert, but I am willing to learn. So first thing I tried was of course how well it would be able to run any 3D Game. On windows I could run most games pretty well, even if not necessarily on Ultra Settings. But here I am, trying to launch a game with polygonal Graphics that I could previously run at 500+FPS and now get 1FPS (even less) in the Start Menu.

I have Linux Mint Cinnamon 22 (ver6.2.9) with the 6.8.0-48-generic Linux Kernel version.

My hardware is an i5-9400f for the CPU and a NVidia GeForce 1660Ti (6GB) as GPU and I have 16GB of RAM. (Display Server is X11)

I have the most recent NVidia Drivers, and I installed all my games on a second HDD Hard Drive (mounted on /mnt/Data) with 2TB. so I really have no idea what the problem might be.

Edit: I really have a suspicion it might be a Vulkan problem but I don't think my GPU is THAT old

So, on the case it's not already been posted a million times already, for those looking for something similar to Apex then there's The Finals. It's EAC but unlike Apex is supported on Proton.

In the few hours I've played so far it's a blast and like Apex it's free to play with cosmetics etc...

Worth a play if you've not already given it a go, maybe I'll come across some of you in game.

Honestly i have no idea where to ask this so i'm asking here since you guys have more knowledge about how Mac/Windows/Linux kernels work than most others gaming communities.

Kernel anti cheats are relatively new for mainstream gaming, there is probably issues about them that we are not aware yet.

But i'm too ignorant about how kernels work for me to know if one of the potential issues can be real.

The issue:

If more proprietary kernel anti cheats start to be create for others game companies, can there be a situation where two prioprietary kernal anti cheat have compatibility issues with each other ?

Cause if that the case, it's will mean you will not be able to install theses games that use the incompatible anti cheat at the same time since their kernel anti cheat to run all the time.

I don't know shit about kernel nor how theses anti cheats manipulate it so i have no idea if this is a real issue or a non issue so i'm asking since it's popped in my mind.

Ofc i'm asking about windows since linux/mac os don't rly have them.

Hi, I am trying to run some games on Fedora 40.

Whenever i play games (using Lutris for FIFA 20, FIFA 23, GTA V) and it opens fullscreen, the screen becomes blank like here.

The app is still running and when I press Super to see all the applications running, suddenly it looks okay.

My hardware is Framework laptop with AMD 7040 series cpu, 32 gb of RAM and 2 tb ssd. I tried reinstalling the games and Lutris, but it seems like a system issue.

Does anybody know, how to fix this? Thanks
