I recently switched to linux mint 22. To play helldivers I did the following from a fresh mint 22 install

1. switched from open source drivers (nouveau) to proprietary NVIDIA drivers (currently using driver - 550)
2. Downloaded steam from software manager (warning about 32 bit drivers that i couldn't exit out of, closed terminal and steam worked. . . idk. . .)
3. Went into helldivers properties > compatibility and forced compatibility tool, and set it to Proton 9.0-3
4. Downloaded helldivers 2 and when I launched it said it was preloading "vulcan shaders" which idk what that is, but i let it do its thing (for like an hour) cause I figured it was important.

Once the game launches, the intro sequence plays, and before that last animation can finish, it crashes and exits.
In windows, the game worked fine, my laptop's specs aren't the best, but it can run the game at medium settings just fine. When I launch it now, the intro sequence is quite laggy, must be around 10-15FPS.

Perhaps its that the default graphics settings are too high? But on windows I've had it on maximum while playing, and though I had like 5FPS, it never crashed.
Perhaps it's an issue of compatibility, I'm not too savvy with computers, so any help is appreciated.

LT and RT of my controller has pressure level function (Axis 5-6) but it just works as boolean (either +32767 or -32767) in Linux (Arch-KDE-Wayland). Why???????

Hey all, got an odd one, I have a two monitor set up, with one 2k Ultrawide as my offhand, and a more traditional 4k panel as my main monitor, for some reason, I have noticed that there's a weird stuttering whenever I play games in windowed modes, as though I'm getting 15fps while all the performance tracking tells me its a solid 60 (refresh rate of the 4k monitor).

This goes away whenever I set the game to exclusive fullscreen, but there are some games (World of Warcraft and the current Monster Hunter Wilds beta for example) that simply do not offer fullscreen on account of DX12 IIRC.

Does anyone know what's going on or can be tweaked to fix this odd performance? I was hoping to give MHWilds a go during the beta.

EDIT: Oh I am annoyed at myself, tried a couple settings and discovered it's V-sync producing this weird behaviour. Going to leave this post up in case it helps someone else with a similar issue.

I'm done with Windows, once Windows 10 support stops i'm switching to Linux (probably Linux mint). I'll also be building a completely new pc because my current one is getting old and doesn't suit my needs as well anymore. Are there any strange things i need to remember when looking for parts? Certain issues to remember?

I'm planning on getting a disk drive (not a usb one, one that's actually in my case), would i need to get specific drivers for that? I've heard Linux mint takes care of a lot of things but i'm not completely sure what falls under "a lot".

Thank you!

MangoHud version: 0.6.5-2

Distribution: Pop_OS!

Kernel version: 6.9.3-76060903-generic

CPU model: Ryzen 7 5700X

GPU model: RX 580 2048SP

GPU driver: Mesa 24.0.3-1pop1~1711635559~22.04~7a9f319

Description
I am currently unable to adjust and view the statistics correctly in MangoHud. Although I have configured it to display CPU temperature, GPU temperature, and RAM/VRAM usage, it still shows additional information, such as the engine version (DXVK) and frametime graphs, which are not part of my configuration. This inconsistency makes it difficult to see the metrics I intended to monitor. The desired options seem to be either hidden or ineffective.

Reproduction
Simplified, easy-to-follow steps to reproduce the bug:

1. Open MangoHud in any game or graphical application.
2. Check the displayed information to verify it aligns with the configured settings (CPU temp, GPU temp, RAM, VRAM).
3. Note that additional information, such as the engine version and frametime graphs, is still appearing.

Actual result:
I am unable to adjust or apply changes to the statistics displayed in MangoHud, and the information shown does not match with the settings I have defined in the configuration file.

Expected result:
It should be possible to view and adjust only the specified statistics for the GPU and CPU according to my configuration, without displaying any additional information that was not configured.

Additional information

The settings:

### CPU info cpu_temp cpu_text = R7 5700X ### GPU info gpu_temp gpu_text = RX 580 ### RAM/VRAM usage ram vram # Color customization text_color=FFFFFF gpu_color=de1f1f cpu_color=EB5B5B vram_color=752b50 ram_color=752b50

~/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf

In-game

If further logs or diagnostic information are needed, please let me know how to collect them.

Hey all! Posting here because I imagine other 'suggest a game' subs will just say "mOve BAcK to MicHAelSOFt BiMbOWS". Apex was my comfort game (crazy as it might sound) and I refuse to go back to Windows just to play one game. My reflexes are getting kind of slow anyway, and ultimately I hated playing with randoms who didn't want to play as a team.

So I figure it's probably time to find a new FPS with replayability/things that change every playthrough. Something that has the potential to become a regularly played game when I need to detach from the real world for a bit.

I'd class Minecraft in this category based on the definition of all of the above, but I'm aiming for something with a bit more combat/challenge I would say.

Thanks in advance!

Hi 👋 As the community see, many online games with anticheat working great, it's a proof that it's technically possible to fight cheat and keep Linux compatibility. But some games, like Apex Legends, chose to remove the Linux compatibility without delay. Since 2021, video games (physical and online) are under the EU warranty, named "Garantie légal de conformité" in french. To simplify , during the contract for a online game (from the start of playing to the servers shutdown), editor need to respect some rules, typically if the game working on Linux, he need to keep the compatibility. Only a economical or a technical impossibility can remove this rule. But as you said, anticheat work on Linux, and the game work great before on Linux , it's not a economical or technical issue.

In this case, editor have few option : restore the compatibility, provide compatible material to the player or refund the player to close the contract.

As EU Linux player, you can contact your costumer association to attack legally EA about that if EA support don't answer (typically a refund is enough legally).

For people who don't understand, is like if a car maker change the fuel entry at remote, force to you use only compatible fuel gas station, when the car working on all before. The car maker need to remake the compatibility, provide a adaptator or refund the car.

As I said in title, because lack of similar case, it's still "possibly" , not a sure win, but it's seem logic and cost nothing.

If you are afraid to try that, you can just call your customer association on social network (EU customer association already attack EA for in apps games, because of in game virtual currency), and more important, call your MEP (member of European parliament) for a law change : anticheat windows only create a monopoly, in violation of Digital Market Act, we need a law to force editor of software and games to provide a native version or a version working with a layer compatibility (like proton for Linux gaming, or Rosetta 2 for Mac ARM software) with all operating systems (and all hardware architecture in a second time). EA can **** on few millions Linux player, but not on a 700+ millions customer market 🤓

As a no Apex Legends player , I can't attack EA with my customer association, but I already contacted my MEP.

It's cost nothing, it's warranty nothing but it's your better luck to stop Linux ban wave.

Thanks for reading ❤️

I noticed a game I was playing was running a little worse than expected, not necessarily lag spikes aside from caching, but just a lower overall fps. When I checked nvidia-smi I noticed my GPU was only getting used about 30%, so next I checked bashtop and like 4 of my CPU cores were at 90%+ in the sections with the lower than expected framerate but the others seemed idle. In the sections that don't lag they are only about 60% usage but Nvidia is either the same or much higher (up to 100%) which is what I want

As a troubleshooting step I wanna see if the CPUs were the bottleneck and enable more cores to run the game if that's possible.

Hi guys been trying to find a solution to an issue. I bought the game on pc and it runs through rockstar launcher. Downloaded lennys simple trainer and the rdr2 asi loader, I put a DLL over ride command in the launch options for steam but it won’t let the file launch even after adding it as a non steam game. I just get an error message saying launch it through the rockstar launcher. When I launch it through rockstar the mods won’t load, anyone have any solutions?

Just posting in case anyone has experience with this or ideas on how to fix it. Im running Bazzite (Fedora) on a HTPC with a 7900xt and Dragon Age Veilguard has great performance--until it randomly locks up and occasionally crashes. It was happening more frequently until I turned off the fancy hair settings (the game has incredible hair physics) but it still happens from time to time and has me at a loss. The GPU isn't overheating. Is there a way to clear my shader cache? Does anyone have other suggestions? I'm pretty new to Linux, having only used the Steam Deck and the Linux distribution on my NAS before. Thanks!

If you're having trouble, try this:

1. The game prefers fast storage, and may crash if it can't access files fast enough. This will likely be fixed by launch and seems to be a problem on Windows too. Install the beta to your home directory or an SSD.

2. Try Proton Experimental if it crashes on launch.

3. Disable FSR3 completely if the game is otherwise a blank black void.

4. In graphics settings, once FSR3 is disabled, use TAA, disable motion blur, do not use "highest" textures or in general, go one step lower than whatever is recommended, set volumetrics to "Low" and variable rate shading to performance.

5. VK3D_CONFIG=dxr

On KUbuntu with an AMD 7900GRE, I am now getting 60FPS solid. All other settings are high.
