I can’t seem to find anything about this online if someone could help that would be great

in the game Sifu, I can play through the first level just fine. however, once I reach the second level the game will randomly freeze my entire system, whether mid level or on game launch, I can't see a larger pattern. I can't call up the kernel, nothing.

I have a ryzen 5800x3d and a radeon 7900xtx with 32gb of ram

I've tried several proton versions, experimental, 9 (beta), 9.7GE, 9.4GE, as well as wine-ge-8-26 and wine 9.

I've tried it on heroic games launcher(epic) and steam. (i also can't figure out why mangohud won't start, but that's another issue)

none of the in game settings seem to affect it, but I'm still messing around with them to see if there's anything I missed

Normally, I wouldn't taken the L, but protonDB has it rated as gold, and I saw no one talking about this system freezing crash.

anyone have any ideas on how to even figure out what going on here? I haven't seen anything in the terminals after the game launch, and nothing seems to occur before the freeze, terminal wise, to suggest anything is wrong.

Any help is appreciated, thank you for your time.

This subreddit loves to cope that kernel level anti-cheat should never have been attempted, but the fact is, even pro-consumer Valve can't make solid server-side anti-cheat, either because they're too lazy or because it's just too hard.

No Counter Strike tournaments use VAC. Ask yourself why that is. It's because Valve is either lazy or incapable of making solid server-side anti-cheat.

And now Valve has the audacity to be working on a brand new IP while still unable to make a decent anti-cheat solution. This is going to destroy any ounce of goodwill they had with the community. They need to just pull the plug on all their online games until they can figure this out.

Look, I love Valve, but we need to stop kidding ourselves. We need to accept the fact that it's either not possible, or Valve is just lazy. And either way, it doesn't look good for Valve. Because this means that Valve is okay with releasing broken games that are infested with more cheaters than anyone else.

I'm not saying that we need criminal level anti-cheat. I'm simply saying if server-side was actually viable, Valve would have figured it out. And Valve sucks for releasing online games without having that figured out.

Also, Vanguard cost $200 million to develop. This is not the lazy route you love to pretend it is. That is pure cope.

TLDR, either they can't or they won't, either way, Valve is not our friend here.

Just installed linux mint today, and I've been having graphics issues with HD2. No matter what my graphics settings are, the game just looks bad, and on top of that I've been unable to purchase anything. The button doens't do anything when I press it.

Hey guys!, I made a tutorial for the fellow SteamDeck and Linux Desktop users that want to play Need For Speed Most Wanted plus the Redux V3 Mod natively on their systems :) This should work for any Linux distribution if done correctly. (And if you apply the same concepts you might get it working on MAC)

I made this tutorial in English and Spanish, you can choose which you want to watch! I hope you find them useful! <3

Im new to linux im using currently endeavouros currently on kernel 6.9.3 with an nvidia 3060 ti

Im on Wayland for what is worth, willing to switch to X11 if needed.

Everytime i launch Steam Big Picture i either have a glitchy interface or slow as hell.

What i've tried so far:

• Disable GPU Blacklist
• Enable/Disable GPU Accelerated rendering in web views
• Enable/Disable Hardware Video Decoding. If supported

and a combination in between with no possitive results and nothing that i look for online seems to work.

Map and landscape rendering are broken, reverted to 8 and it's fine now nobara gnome curernt ( 39?)

Happy to say that I am no longer getting glitches or flickering or random windows flying around the screen. It seems to be smooth. Just a few weeks ago I couldn't run it the way it works now, unless you you sign in with X11 session

My specs are Ryzen 7 5800x3d and rtx 6700 xt and working on linux mint.

Been playing lately Total war warhammer 3 with proton and with settings all on ultra, 2k. Been getting some pretty bad temperatures reaching 88C to 91C and worry that at some point either ill get a warning or my system will shut down for safety.

Is the only work around to this lowering the graphic settings or theres something else going on? Like its the games optimization at fault and not something related to the OS.

Im trying to play "Let Them Come", but whenever i do, it gives me this message:

"Failed to create Direct3D Device. Please check that your drivers are up-to-date. Alternatively try switching your computer to a lower resolution to reduce graphics memory requirements."

I should note that my pc has up to date drivers, and it can handle anything this game would give it.
what do you suggest i do instead?

Hello everyone i been having a problem running a game whose name is ASTLIBRA Revision, its a steam game and i downloaded it from juegosdepcfull it seems to use as well some kind of crack named tenoke

0120:err:module:loader_init "steam_api64.dll" failed to initialize, aborting

0120:err:module:loader_init Initializing dlls for L"Z:\\home\\antonio\\GAMES\\ASTLIBRA\\ASTLIBRA.exe" failed, status c0000005

Hello,

I have been experimenting with gaming on linux on my dekstop. I have installed nobara just for convenience. I am on the 555 drivers and have the latest version of ge-proton.

When i play overwatch 2 there is not an option for enabling nvidia reflex. But i found online that it has been implemented in proton-vk3d i think its called. I thought the latest version of proton-vk3d gets build into ge-proton?

Am i missing something here?

Thanks

I am using PopOS for gaming, it works well, and the Xbox controller also works fine via Bluetooth. However, when I connect headphones to the P2 port, there is no audio output, and no extra output appears in the settings.

I read that with Doodle there is audio output, is that correct?

As the title. I recently switched to Arch Linux from Windows, and I would like to get back to playing my retro collections. I have used standalone apps before, but since I'm starting from scratch I'd like to see about doing a multi-console approach to consolidate apps. I'd need something to run the following systems:

• Atari 2600
• NES
• SNES
• GameBoy/Color
• GameBoy Advance
• Sega Master System
• Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, 32X
• Sega Game Gear
• NEC PC Engine/Turbo Duo

What I want to avoid is RetroArch, though. I have zero issues with the libretro project, but to me RetroArch is completely non-intuitive from trying it and I want to avoid it. To that end, I'm looking for suggestions for one of the following two things:

• An alternative frontend for libretro
• An alternative multi-console app (Mednafen as an example) and a good frontend if needed (the frontend is the important part here if Mednafen is the community choice)

Thanks in advance!

I am trying to play Grand Theft Auto V on my computer with Ubuntu (24.04). When I run the game on Steam, a black window called "steam_proton" appears. When I hover the cursor over this window, the cursor disappears. This window stays black all the time and the game does not launch. In Steam, the message "Running installation script ()" appears and stays there. The black window cannot be closed. I have tried key combinations but it remains there. Every time I want it to disappear, I have to restart the computer.

I have tried several versions of Proton and the problem is not resolved. Any ideas on what I can try to fix this?

Hello. I started playing a game called Nine Sols and everything worked pretty smoothly (getting 50-60 fps, my laptop is not the newest, but it was fine) until I got to a new location. After loading, I have like 5-10fps and the game is unable to play. However, if I change my resolution to anything else I'm currently at, the game runs just fine. The game is playable, but it's very annoying to do it every time I get to any new location, which prompts a loading screen. Do you have any ideas, what may be causing this, and how to fix this?

I have ubuntu 20.04, tried proton experimental and proton 9.0.1 and have everything updated. And I have to mention that I'm a very newbie in linux.

Hi, first time posting here. I recently took the plunge into switching to Linux on my gaming PC, I have an Nvidia 4070 and an Intel CPU if that's important. I am running Pop!OS. Anyways, the main issue is my monitor. I have an Acer XV273K and it takes two display port cables to render 4k @ 144hz (yes this is a bit weird). In windows it always treated it as one monitor, my nvidia settings seems to treat it as two (which makes sense, but it's causing configuration to be a bitch). I have disabled my other monitor and will tackle that issue another day. One issue is when I fullscreen a game it fullscreens to just one half. I have also noticed vertical tearing between the middle of the monitor. Has anyone had any experience with this and have any insight or direction to point me? I've attached a screenshot of my nvidia server display configuration as well as my xrandr output.
