PIA vpn problem with Arc Raiders game

24. Januar 2026 - 17:57

Hi, i am wondering how to run Arc Raiders in Linux Mint with VPN via split tunnel. It doesn't start otherwise. I tried to put all executables i could think of in the split tunnel in settings, to no avail.

Graphical glitches on Fallout 4 (steam)

24. Januar 2026 - 17:55

Hello, I'm having these glitches on Fallout 4. What I've already done trying to fix the problem is: deleted HD texture DLC, turned off v-sync, installed dxvk and set the max frame rate to 60. I didn't have this issue before and honestly I don't know what more I could do for eventually fix it. Graphic driver is updated.

Help running RoR2 on low-end hardware

24. Januar 2026 - 17:32

My PC broke yesterday so I currently have no option but to use my very old laptop for things. I tried installing Risk of Rain 2 on it, but nothing i can think of has worked! This game worked completely fine out of the box on my PC but on my laptop it just doesn't.

I have tried every single proton version available through steam with and without PROTON_USE_WINE3D=1 %command% , the launch option didn't seem to actually affect anything though.

Proton versions 5.0-10 don't seem to even open the game, Versions 5.13-6 and 6.3-8 launch the game but crash at 2% on the loading screen, Version 7.0-6 launches the game, gets to 46-48% then crashes (that's the moment the beginning cutscene starts playing on the loading screen so it's probably something to do with rendering that) and versions forward from proton 8 either throw an error message or a window with the game logo that closes almost instantly (image below)

the window

The furthest i can make it with proton (Proton 7.0-6). The game freezes then crashes shortly after!

The error on newer versions

Yes, i do have the necessary graphics drivers. Yes, my computer has the latest updates.

I know the game is possible to run on this machine, because launching it with wine makes it past the loading screen and to the menu, but the game is unplayable due to steamworks not working on wine.past the loading screen and to the menu, but the game is unplayable due to steamworks not working on wine.

The game running through wine

oh and also i know this isn't distro specific, i have had this issue before on linux mint on the same machine

Looking to switch, what's the simracing scene like?

24. Januar 2026 - 17:28

Specs:

5950x Ryzen 9
128 gb ram
Intel b580 GPU

I've got a Logitech wheel and pedals, I run a lot of gt7 on PlayStation, but have a handful of racers/drivers through steam and epic. The latest update through windows unformatted my game drive, and it's not the first time this has happened. I'm over it. Now I also hear that encrypted drives in windows are basically not.

So, how does Linux like racing peripherals? I might get some flight stuff down the road as well. Are there any flavors that are more condusive to my hardware? I know my GPU may be limiting, how's support?

Thanks for your time and patience!

Здрасьте.Я хочу найти себе дистриубтив один по своим критериям.

24. Januar 2026 - 17:16

Короче я понятное дело геймер и у меня связка intel + nvidia.Так вот я хочу свежие пакеты,но чтобы еще и стабильность была.Также кроме этого мне бы желательно нужно норм количество пакетов и да я не прям новичок и не про(ну то есть я уже умею без особых проблем им пользоваться).Сейчас я юзаю линуху вроде полгода и у меня Arch Linux + Cinnamon.

MangoHUD shortcuts not working on Pop OS

24. Januar 2026 - 17:15

Goverlay wasn't even detecting MangoHUD at first, so I removed whatever version I had and reinstalled it in the terminal via flatpak, and it worked, goverlay is now detecting mangohud just fine (and the stats show in the cube window). I can also see MangoHUD in game, I'm testing with Elden Ring, by simply adding MANGOHUD=1 %command% in the games' properties. So everything is working, except I can't untoggle it with the default shortcut "Shift+R+F12". Goverlay doesn't seem to be working properly either, since changing layouts or color schemes don't really affect vkcube. The shortcut won't work in vkcube either. I only adopted Linux very recently, so I'm not super knowledgeable regarding what to do in these cases.

Can I receive a Game Invite from the Xbox App on my Phone?

24. Januar 2026 - 16:35

If I were to play the exact same game he's playing on my Laptop which has Linux, the game in question is Forza Horizon 5, and I also own it on steam and he sends me an invite to join his game, will I get that Invite on my Phone? I can't get the Xbox App on Linux, so my Phone's the only way.

NVIDIA settings: Performance Mode

24. Januar 2026 - 16:18

Hi!

I recently installed Linux Mint for the first time on my laptop, and after hours of tinkering and headaches, I'm pretty sure I found a solution to my problem.

I have a laptop with a GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile GPU. If I were to select NVIDIA On-Demand in the NVIDIA Settings, my entire system would freeze after a few minutes (sometimes even seconds) when gaming (TF2 in my case). If I switch to NVIDIA Performance Mode I have no problems.

I think something (either the drivers or Linux Mint itself) has a hard time switching between the integrated and dedicated GPU so it just freezes the entire system.

I’m sharing this in the hope that it might help someone facing the same issue in the future.

Peace!

Cheap (used) graphics card for older system

24. Januar 2026 - 16:06

I've still an old PC here which I gave my daughter, but it doesn't have a dedicated graphics card, just a slow onboard one.

She'd like to play old 3d games, and now I'm looking for something used which would fit the system.

It's an Intel i7 2600K with 16GB RAM. I'm using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Which old graphics card would be a good match for this system?
