I'm a fan of PowerWasher Sim, and was told to try the Leaf Blower Co demo. I installed it from Steam, but to get it to run I had to grab GE Proton 10-4. First time it ran it said I had to install redistributables for the Unreal Engine, but they gave me an error installing them. Didn't seem to matter because the demo runs anyway.

Audio settings gives me a choice of Pulseaudio, Starship/Matisse HD Audio Controller Analog Output, and Navi 31 HDMI/DP Audio Digital Stereo (my Radeon card.) No matter what I set, saving the setting would go back to Pulseaudio and there would be no sound. Exit the game, then rerun it and audio will work. (Trying to change audio requires a restart.)

specs:

- 32 gig ram 3200mhz

- gigabyte B450M DS3H WIFI ( 16 max shared ram for video )

- cpu ryzen 7 5700G

- nvme 500gig ( OS drive )

- usb3 4TB hdd ( game drive )

so under LMDE6 ( mint / debian based) i get an average frame rate between 25 - 37fps but im getting more and more stutters ( example of performance / picture equivalent - original / standard switch not including stutter )

under bazzite ( fedora based ) ( before it went weird on me ) average frame rate 35 - 55fps, almost no stutter ( example of performance / picture quality - switch OLED )

i am wondering if anyone might be able to tell me if i might have a better time with cachyos?

Hi! I am building a linux PC with mostly ROG parts, and I am looking for a software utility like armoury crate for linux (preferably without all the bloat). It doesn't have to be ROG specific, I just want it to be able to control fan speeds/curves, control RGB, and do some basic overclocking.

Pues resulta que estoy probando metro last light y zombie army trilogy en linux mint, instalé steam y los juego mencionados, el lío es que cuando quiero mover el puntero para disparar no puedo, para moverme es casi lo mismo, corro con las teclas pero cuando quiero usar el trackpad para ver al rededor o apuntar un punto específico, no hay modo.

Before anything else, I'd like to state that my knowledge in this topic is superficial, so man my think this is a dumb question, but why is it so hard running Windows software on Linux when we can run really complex games at the same time.

I'm genuinely curious as to how we can run really demanding games with 100+ GB of files, multiple calls for different apis and still extract the maximum of performance from our hardware, but when it comes to general software things aren't that smooth.

Last week I switched to linux because of the performance improvements on some games and trying to escape all the bloatware that invaded windows more and more every year.

When I switched, my 165hz monitor showed a black screen when changed in the settings to be on more than 120hz, 3 days ago I searched and find out that rolling back to a older nvidia driver version could resolve this and it worked, but now when opening cs2 it shows a black screen or just show a static screenshot of the moment when I opened it (normally my steam library and the blue stop game button).

Tried to roll back to the newer drivers, but it was the same. Opened it with the steam force proton compatibility and it didn't even open the game, the launch button turns blue for a second and then it doesn't launch.

When using the nvidia on demand setting and cs2 launches with the dedicated intel gpu, it launches fine and the game works, apart that in game i get 25 fps and in menu 40.

I supose that it's some nvidia driver problem or library problem, but i cannot figure out how to fix this, can anyone help pls?

Other Unity games, like RoR2 and Ultrakill doesn't run (nor open) either

Trying to troubleshoot some 32-bit issues with dxvk and I can't really find 32-bit vulkan-tools. Is there any place they can be downloaded from just to be sure 32-bit Vulkan is even working in the prefix.

More specifically, I can run things in WINEARCH=wow64 mode that uses thunking and 64-bit dxvk / Vulkan and that works OK. But it fals with WINEARCH=win64 which tries to use old style wow64 and therefore 32-bit dxvk and 32-but winevulkan and dxvk chokes on it. I have 32-bit Mesa installed and not sure what the problem is.

So I wanted to try if basic vulkan is even working in 32-bit, but can't find any tools weirdly. LunarG's SDK doesn't ship them.

Hello,

I'm having a keyboard configuration issue when launching Ark: Survival Evolved from Steam. I'm using Steam (official deb package) on Ubuntu 24.04. I have a physical keyboard with an AZERTY layout. However, when I start a game of Ark, the keys corresponding to diacritic letters seem to be dead. When I try to manually reassign the diacritic keys in the game settings, the only effect is that no key is assigned to the action. The game detects that I am pressing a key, but its value is null, wtf? This is annoying because most of the accented keys are used to access the 10 inventory slots:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 & é " ' ( - è _ ç à

Note that the keys &"'(- work, as non-diacritic characters. I also cannot use the diacritic keys in the game console. For no particular reason, I can assign the ù key without any problem but cannot use it in the console, wtf x2?

For information, the Steam settings indicate:

• Interface Language: French
• LANGUAGE: fr_LU.UTF-8

A bit more information about my configuration:

• Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5
• Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS (64-bit)
• AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS
• AMD Radeon 780M Graphics
• Linux 6.11.0-26-generic
• GNOME Shell 46
• Wayland
• Steam 1747701111
• Proton Hotfix

Any help or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance!

A game I want to play has Linux compatibility via a launcher. The first time the game was installed, it ran normally, but the next day, the launcher didn't open, even after reinstalling it. I can run the game normally without the launcher, but I'll need it sooner or later for updates.

The point is this: I thought I'd run the Windows version launcher through Wine and I need it to be able to “see” the game installed natively on Linux. How do I do that??

AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 32 GB RAM, kernel 5.15.0-141-generic x86_64, Nvidia (Gigabyte) RTX 3050, nvidia-driver-550 (550.144.03), Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia, Ubuntu 22.04 jammy

Running PoE1 standalone using Lutris. The opening screen (Settlers of Karguul) shows 1 FPS with the F1-key report. This report shows the GPU locked at full usage (number is around 1200 MS).

Note that I ran this setup with the nvidia-driver-570 (570.133.07) driver for months with no issues; framerate was somewhere around 60 fps and very playable.

I first saw this problem a few days ago, but the problem could have been present days or weeks prior, since I was in Last Epoch (without issues) most of that time. I tried several different graphics options in PoE1 with no success. I even left the PC running overnight, on the offchance that might let a problem work itself out; no dice.

I uninstalled and purged the Nvidia drivers, dropping back to Nouveau. I then installed the 550 driver. Startup screen still shows 1 FPS, GPU locked at full usage (about 1200 MS), SHADER shows 0 usage, MEM shows 6.7 GB, VRAM shows 676 MB, CPU shows 4 MS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

I’ve been playing on the Xbox cloud for a while now through my pc running Linux but was wondering if there’s a way to connect this to the app? I know Xbox doesn’t support Linux so I don’t know if I’m just trying to do something that’s impossible?

I'm a bit out of the loop with Linux GPU drivers and the current state of compatibility with new features like 4x Frame Generation and the latest version of DLSS. I'm also under the impression games support Nvidia features more than AMD features. As someone who plays graphically demanding titles and likes Ray Tracing, should I continue with Nvidia or switch to AMD?

I've been using my RTX 3070 Ti since 2022, and overall, the experience hasn't been great. I'm running a 3440x1440p monitor, and at that resolution, the 8GB of VRAM just isn't enough. Most games are limited to low or medium textures, and over time, the VRAM fills up, leading to performance degradation—stuttering, slowdowns, and eventually requiring a game restart to make things smooth again.

For example, Resident Evil 4 Remake runs fine as long as the texture setting is kept at “High (1GB).” But if the game ever touches 8GB VRAM usage, performance instantly tanks, dropping to a stuttery mess at 15–30 FPS from that point forward.

I now have the chance to trade the card for an RX 6700 XT. While I know it's a bit slower than the 3070 Ti in raw performance, the 8GB VRAM on the 3070 Ti has become a significant bottleneck in my use case. On top of that, without access to GWE tools for undervolting on Linux, the 3070 Ti draws up to 290 watts and hits 83°C under load.

People often mention that the 3070 Ti is better at ray tracing, but at 1440p on Linux, enabling RT pushes VRAM usage past 8GB and causes the same problem—so I always have it turned off. The only real advantage the card offers me is DLSS 4 support.

Given all this, does trading it for the 6700 XT sound like a reasonable move?

I was attempting to play the 2020 remake of Myst through Steam, and there are several areas in the game that rely heavily on videos playing in-game. When I tried to play, all of these areas simply showed a white box, no video. So I did some digging, and tried a few things. From what I was able to find, it seems that it was missing codecs, and most people had them sorted out by simply using Proton-GE, so I switched to that, and still had the same issue. I downloaded ProtonTricks (from the flatpak so it was the most recent version, and also ensured my WineTricks was up to date as well), and attempted to install all the codecs shown available there. I got a few errors specifically trying to install icodecs, which are as follows:

Checksum for /home/kingjexe/.var/app/com.github.Matoking.protontricks/cache/winetricks/icodecs/codinstl.exe did not match, retrying download

SHA256 mismatch!

This is often the result of an updated package such as vcrun2019.

If you are willing to accept the risk, you can bypass this check.

Alternatively, you may use the --force option to ignore this check entirely.

Continue anyway?

This gave me a Yes and No option, so I chose Yes, but I was ultimately met with

Note: command cabextract -q -d /mnt/23f12f95-a228-4225-b387-247590c36c86/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/1255560/pfx/dosdevices/c:/windows/temp/codinstl/ /home/kingjexe/.var/app/com.github.Matoking.protontricks/cache/winetricks/icodecs/codinstl.exe returned status 1. Aborting.

At this point I'm not sure what else to do. Even after everything I still have white boxes where there should be video. I unfortunately just don't have enough knowledge to figure out what exactly is going wrong and what to fix.
