So, I know a lot of people are asking for this, but this is probably the only problem that keeps me from installing Linux on my main PC.

I read that I can bypass BattlEye, but if I want to play with my friends it's a problem... I also read that if I open GTA Online without the bypass, I will get banned in half a second...

If there is any new good news, I would be happy to hear it. Thanks!

Hey there, I'm hoping for a bit of help. When I try to play RE9, I'm able to successfully load a save and play the game as normal, but the second I try to start a new save, my game completely freezes on me. I've tried just about every version of Proton, including the CachyOS specific one, and nothing seems to fix it. I've deleted shader cache and the compatdata files, but that didn't seem to help.

Thank you!

Anyone knows how to fix this problem?

Simply cannot play regular matchmaking on regular European servers, only bots and hackers.

I downloaded Outlast yesterday, and everything worked fine—from installation to starting the game. But when I tried to move using the WASD keys, there was no response.

I'm using linux mint.

Is there any fix for this?

Is there an alternative to Lossless Scaling for Linux, specifically regarding upscaling filters (xBR, nearest neighbor, etc.)? I don't care about DLSS, FSR, etc. - just the filters.

I've tried gamescope but it's quite buggy and a major pain in the ass.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice on a controller setup for my laptop. Here are my specs: Laptop: Asus TUF A15 (Ryzen 7 7435HS, RTX 3050) OS: Fedora Workstation (GNOME) Usage: Playing non-Steam games (added via Proton) on an Android TV via HDMI. I have poor eyesight, so I want to play from a distance by connecting my laptop to the TV. Since I'm on a budget (max $35 / approx. ₹3000 in India), I need something reliable that works well with Linux. I’m currently looking at the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless. Will this work flawlessly with Fedora/Steam, or is there a better option available in India, like the EvoFox Elite X2? I’d appreciate any help or alternative suggestions that fit my budget and OS. Thanks!

(Don't be racist please as I'm from India)

Acabo de comprar el control Beitong KP 40 elite, y funciona bien, excepto que Linux Mint lo detecta como control de Switch, lo que hace que los botones estén invertidos, y no consigo cambiarlos.

Juego mayormente en Lutris juegos descargados de gog, y muy poco en steam.

¿Hay alguna forma de arreglar esto?

Is it possible to get the ISMC mod working on linux.I also want the mod to run locally. I use cachyos btw

Hi All,

I have this odd issue where my PC tends to crash my TV's software (TV reboots). It only started happening since I switched to Linux. I have a feeling it has something to do with the HDMI signal. I purchased really high quality cables to rule cables out as an issue, but it seems to persist no matter what cable I use.

I have a Nvidia 4070S as a GPU connected to my Sony X950H tv. I have used Bazzite and currently using CachyOS as the operating systems (both the same issue). The issue also seems to persist between DE's as I used Plasma, COSMIC and currently Hyprland.

Anyone else with this issue or any suggestions how to create a more stable signal between my PC and TV?

Thanks!

Can Somebody Help me?

I want to redownload the Welcome to Night city collection and need a mod manager. Are there any on Linux that let you bulk download mods?
