I just installed Apex Legends on my Linux Mint and it seemed that I couldn't sign in because of Steam Overlay. The error message was "Sign in to EA required Steam Overlay to be enabled" or something like that. The problem is I already enabled Steam Overlay. After launching Apex Legends, there's always a popup banner with Apex Legends picture iykwim in split second showing "loading etc" and I could actually see Steam Overlay loading the EA sign-in website in the small popup banner itself. TIA

• Steam: Proton 9.0-3
• Linux: Mint 22 Cinnamon
• Driver: Nvidia 535

The existing methods include flatpak and firejail. Both approaches are good.

And.... It involves adding a new user in the home directory!

1. Add a dedicated Steam user.
2. Press "Ctrl Alt F1" and log in with the new Steam user.
3. Press "Ctrl Alt F2" to return to the original main screen.

Caution! Do not press "Ctrl Alt F1" again, as TTY1 will always require a login.

1. Press "Ctrl Alt F3." The Steam user will be logged in.

After... Switching between TTY2 and TTY3 happens instantly.

There are no complicated login procedures or delays.

While playing a game on TTY3, you can switch to TTY2 to browse the web. ( C+A+F2 <------> C+A+F3 )

This method has been tested on Ubuntu 24.04.

Do not move to TTY3 before logging in the Steam user on TTY1, as the TTY3 will run in CUI mode and it will fail.

Hello I have been trying to get Ashes of Creation to work on arch under Hyprland. Sorry if this is the wrong place for tech support lmao.

I was able to install the launcher and was getting black screen but I disabled the Options the graphics section of the Runner options and it launched fine.

You have to login to the launcher which launches a little app that is meant to be a login screen for the game.

This login screen no matter what I do is just a black or white windows. I've tried so much stuff and It hasn't even flickered the correct screen lol.

I think it depends on Microsoft Edge Web View 2 as this was installed during the launcher installation but even installing this to the prefix separately as well as Microsoft edge itself (wishful thinking) nothing has helped.

Here screenshot of my specs, what the launcher actually looks like, and a link to the log output from lutris not really sure how to interpret it lol.

Hello! I have a laptop and gaming pc. The laptop monitor is pretty ok and I prefer working from a laptop over from my pc. So I am wondering if I could make my gaming pc an at home game server. The idea is to make it almost like vnc, except not slow as fuck and with a frame rate measured in fps and not frames per minute. I have never gotten steam remote play to work, and don't like how it works, either. I'd rather have it work like vnc. Any suggestions?

Hello guys. I posted this problem on a couple of other subs but I've yet to find a solution. I'm experiencing an extremely annoying issue in which the monitor keeps disconnecting and reconnecting in loop post login after a system update. I've first experienced this issue with fedora after updating my system and installing nvidia graphics card. I then tried Bazzite, same exact issue, but at least with Bazzite I can roll back the update, which is a temporary solution. There are several culprits that could be causing this issue:

1. Kernel update
2. Nvidia drivers update
3. Wayland
4. All of the above

Is anyone else experiencing this exact issue? And if so, any solution besides rolling back the update? Any help is appreciated.

Relevant specs:

1. Nvidia RTX 3060ti GPU
2. Intel Core i5 11400F CPU
3. Asus Prime B560M-K motherboard
4. Samsung Odyssey G5 Monitor (connected through displayport)

Thought I’d ask here to help investigate an issue.

[I’m on Steam Deck but have noticed this is a wide spread issue across Decks and even some peoples Windows machines]

The game pulls almost locked 3500MHz CPU whilst the GPU is basically idle. I have used PowerTools to adjust frequencies for both in real time to understand what’s happening. But you can cap the cpu to around 1700MHz and still maintain a constant 60fps. The GPU will still idle at around 400MHz and any frame rate drops will disappear completely if you cap the minimum GPU frequency to around 1000MHz

It’s as if the .exe doesn’t want to utilise the dedicated GPU

Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 from the Master Collection perform and behave identically during my experiments.

I dont play the most graohically intensive games. The most would maybe be Elden Ring, or Dark Souls with textures upscaled, or maybe modded Minecraft.Currently the RX580 suffices, but I bought it used and didnt even clean it. Not looking for anything expensive, and I will probably buy it used anyways

Edit-I have a Ryzen 5600 so my cpu isnt holding much back for what i need

So, I am running Fedora 41 and plasma 6.2.1.
I am starting the game with DXVK_HDR=1 DISABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command%

and enabling the HDR inside the game.

Also, I have enabled hdr on system settings for the gaming monitor.

Any suggestions on how can I solve this?

Game: Kingdom Hearts 1.5 2.5 ReMIX (Steam, GE-Proton9-7, launched from big picture mode)

After learning the issue with AMD GPU's was fixed with this game I started trying to play on my linux/AMD system instead of my windows/nvidia system. Specifically I'm having issues with KH2 but I haven't tested other games from the collection. Everytime I walk through a specific doorway the game crashes back into steam BP.

This is the first time I've played the game in Linux. When trying to search up questions about the issue i'm finding more information about issues with the now resolved AMD crashing, and issues with the Heroic/Epic version of the game. Could this be an issue with Mint being slower release cycle than something more gaming focused distro? Maybe something driver related or with X11?

Less importantly I'm having some issues with screen tearing that aren't resolved with the in-game V-sync toggle.

Any advice or troubleshooting help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello folks, decided to give Bazzite a spin after hearing a lot of good stuff. On my other distro, openSUSE Tumbleweed Vulkan shader compilation is pretty fast. Usually the first processing takes a few minutes depending on the game, but after that first time it takes just a few seconds usually.

However, on Bazzite the shader processing takes quite a long time, it took around 20 minutes for Deadlock to finish processing its shaders last night, and on each subsequent boot I am still waiting a few minutes. Anyone else experiencing this?

I'm running a pure AMD setup as well so definitely no nvidia shenanigans at play here.

How would I go about troubleshooting certain issues that I am experiencing with Proton?

I am trying to run a game called "Dynasty Warriors 6" from 2007 using Proton and Steam on Linux Mint. So far, the game runs, but it has some issues that I would like to know how to solve

1) All videos are missing, or cannot be loaded

2) When loading a level with maxed graphics, the game crashes

3) Plugging in a PlayStation controller doesn't work, and I have to use the keyboard

So far, I've tried switching around the Proton versions, but it hasn't worked changed anything.

With that in mind, how would I go about troubleshooting and fixing these issues?

So, I'm running arch linux/cachyos, and use kde wayland as my primary desktop environment, 2x RTX 3090, NVLinked. I use KDE Wayland, which I know has a bit of a history with performance problems

Questions:

1. What is your preferred way to launch steam/proton games on linux?
2. What do you think is the best way to launch games installed via steam/proton?
3. What's your favorite proton build? (Regular proton, proton experimental, glorious eggroll, cachyos proton, something else?)
4. Have any sync preference? esync? fsync? winesync? no sync?
5. Any preference on gamescope? No gamescope? Yes gamescope? Have any secret incantations for launching it?
6. vkd3d or dxvk?
7. And, of most interest to me right now: does anyone here launch proton games from tty, or know of a good way to do so?

I've never had much luck running gamescope/gamescope-plus in a stable way on top of KDE Wayland, but it does have a bunch of neat features I'd like to try. Which is why I am so particularly interested in peoples' experiences doing a Ctrl-Alt-F3 (or whatnot) into a tty, and starting games directly from there.
