I'm experiencing a problem where I hear a slight crackling sound in Minecraft Java. This happens whenever a sound plays, i.e., walking, and it happens on 1.8.9 and even the newest versions. I've tried many things, such as increasing the period count and size in OpenAL's config, and also, declaring what drivers to use in the OpenAL's config and in Prism Launcher (I set the drivers to "pulse," and "asla," and they both don't do anything). I have set Prism Launcher to use the system installation of OpenAL, and it does use it, looking at the logs.

It is a very slight cracking/static, but it is quite noticeable during night-time sessions.

I am using Wayland and Pipewire, on Fedora, and it only happens on Minecraft, nothing else.

Any ideas? I've tried so many things from various forums but nothing seems to work.

Hello,

I'm trying to get my DualSense Edge controller working with Resident Evil Requiem, but I'm running into a strange issue.

The first time I launched the game, the controller worked perfectly. After that, it just stopped working for some reason.

I’ve tried the following so far:

• Enabling and disabling Steam Input
• Connecting the controller via Bluetooth
• Connecting it via USB cable

None of these made a difference.

The weird thing is that if I move the trackpad, I can see the mouse cursor moving, but the game itself doesn’t respond to any controller inputs.

The controller works perfectly fine in other games, including:

• Alan Wake 2
• Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

So it seems to be specific to this game.

Has anyone run into this before or knows what might be causing it?

I installed counter strike condition zero on steam but it installs to ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life 80/czero instead of ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life/czero.

steamapps/common/'Half-Life 80'/ is completely empty apart from that so naturally the game fails to start because it can't find steamapps/common/Half-Life\ 80/hl.sh. this issue only seems to happen on condition zero, all other goldsrc games (cs 1.6, dmc, half-life...) install to steamapps/common/Half-Lifeand work fine

I wanted to play spore on my PC.I cant for the life of me figure out wine and bottles. I have the game bought on EA so i dont want to buy it again on steam. Here are my specificasions:Linux Mint 22.2 Zara base: Ubuntu 24.04 noble

6-core model: 12th Gen Intel Core i5-12400F bits: 64 type: MT MCP

NVIDIA AD107 [GeForce RTX 4060] vendor: Gigabyte driver: nouveau

I would be overjoyed if someone had the same issue, figured it out and would be kind enough to explain what you did.Tutorals for wine/bottles apreciated too since im not sure i used these programs good.

I like this because it set up emulators for me and don't need to fight RetroArch every step of the way to set it up. The problem is that it's obviously optimized for controller but there are things and settings that would be easier to do with a mouse, and I would like to avoid using standalones emulators if possible

i'm a big fan of Battlefield 1 and this sale has got me wondering : it's worthing buying anything from them already knowing MP won't work?

When I started making a game using Linux as my dev environment a lot of people tried to talk me out of it, but I haven't used a Windows computer at home in more than a decade, so I figured I'd at least try to start on Linux and see how it went. I was a little worried, but it actually went great! After months of work, I just shipped a full-featured demo for When the Stars Threw Down Their Spears, a story-driven, retro space shooter inspired by DOS-era space games like Star Control, Solar Wind, and Lightspeed. And of course, it has native Linux support!

All the code and art were made by me using FOSS software (Godot for the game engine, emacs as an editor, and MTPaint and Asesprite for the pixel art). I also did a fair bit of the sound design and music myself, including the music in the trailer (using Audacity and 1BitDragon). That said, some of the sound is still based on assets from open or permissively licensed sound libraries, but I'm gradually replacing those assets with original audio as I build towards a full release.

Check it out, and I'm happy to answer any questions about the dev process!

First i have to admit i don't really know anything about game or proton/dxvk development.

But since I've heard some talk about DX13, i got curious about its adaptation in linux. Would it take a bit longer for games to start working optimally, or working at all? Could DX13 be harder to implement and create a bigger performance deficit than we had before on linux?

I don't know how this transition went from DX11 to DX12, but i guess the gaming community also wasn't nearly as big back then.

I know a lot of this is probably crystal bowl type questions, i would just love to hear some thoughts from developers or someone who knows a bit more about this stuff.

Thank you for your time!

Hi everyone, I recently installed gamescope-session-steam from the AUR and launched it from the GNOME GDM menu. For those who don't know, it's a session, entirely managed through Gamescope, that essentially makes your PC look like a Steam Deck or any other SteamOS device.

However, within that session I get severe graphical glitches (bordering on photoepilepsy), and unlike when I normally use Gamescope on my Hyprland session, everything seems very unstable and broken.

I did notice, however, that when I interact with the mouse and not the controller, the interface is smooth and problem-free.

It would be helpful to know if anyone has solved the issue or can offer guidance, support, or feedback.

Thanks for reading.

I have the same issues running the game through Steam and Lutris. There are no Ubi connect overlays active, and I can only get the game to run again if I delete its documents/AC origins settings files, which changes the settings to default. Basically the problem is that the game can't change settings without a restart, and restarting it after they are changed results in the game hanging on the splash screen.

Desktop: Archlinux, RX6600XT Radeon GPU, X11

Laptop: Ubuntu, XFCE, X11, HD4000 GPU

Long story short, I want to remote into my desktop and play game there during travel/business trip

I already setup a VPN in my homelab so I can Wakeonlan, RDP/VNC to the desktop back home and do all the heavy lifting there: CAD designing, browsing the web, watching movies...
Because it's a homemade VPN, I have near zero latency, performance is great.

Problem

I can't get the RX6600XT working via XRDP. Instead it will use the HD4000 on the laptop. I can only get about 20fps in game (nvtop show 0% GPU usage on desktop). There are some tutorial online for RDP hardware acceleration server side, but only for windows.

X11VNC screen tearing is bad, the frame rate client side can't go above 30FPS. Overall experience is bad, my eyes hurt.

I use Remmina for both VNC and RDP client

Nomachine is the best so far. With 60FPS client side, no screen tearing, Hardware acceleration decoding for client side. I use it most of the time for CAD, movies and writing this post right now through it. However gaming is buggy, even with mouse input grabbing the character will only look down to the ground.
I compiled usb nx kernel for a USB passthough. Now I can use the mouse and keyboard in game. But the input latency is bad compare to normal mouse input grabbing (in game fps and render quality is not affected, only input sucks)

Do you have any suggestion for such a use case? Preferably an open source solution with LAN connection (since I use VPN I can treat everything as within LAN)

Zordeer is a Qt6 launcher for using Wine, Proton, and UMU. It currently has a Snap version (without UMU support at the moment) and a Flatpak version, but that version isn't on Flathub and probably never will be.

Meganimus is a Qt6 launcher for centralizing emulator games. It's only available as an AppImage and allows you to transfer AppImage versions of emulators and Wine.

If anyone here could help translate them, I would also be very grateful. Currently, they only have English, Portuguese, and Spanish language support.

If you want to test them:

i just wanted to ask which proton version are you using, mine has been having these "abyssal" problems xd

Hello fellow penguins,

i recently (2months) switched to bazzite and most Games run awesome except for UE5 Games like Arc Raiders. These Games or Arc Raiders in particular have "random" stutters. I guess pipeline creation/shader creation. Tried every gfx settings but still there. Some rounds run perfectly, 2h later, same Map and i get Stutters here and there. Anyone had simmilar issues? precaching on, Vulkan shader processing on.

I played Cyberpunk and Control before with RT and it run near perfect.

i switched from windows 10 to bazzite and gaming is great.

i play cs go,cyberpunk 2077,portal 2 and many other games on linux and it feels better than windows 10.

i didnt expect linux to be this easy or user friendly,but it is great .

i also stopped using chrome and gone to firefox because it is preinstalled. it feels better than chrome with ublock origin.

im just sharing my experience with linux,and i think if most gamers used linux they wont use windows again.
