Hello. I got an RX 9070xt close to launch and have been using with arch since I got it. My setup is the following:

CPU Ryzen 9800X3D GPU 9070XT 32GB Ram 1000W be quiet PSU Driver Mesa 25.3.3-arch OS Arch Linux Kernel 6.18.3 DE Hyprland Game running through Proton 9.10

I've had no complaints until I recently got Doom the Dark Ages and tried to enable path tracing. When I enable it and apply it, my entire system freezes. When I first tried to run it with path tracing my entire DE froze and then crashed. If I restarted my DE and then tried to launch almost any game it would crash again. The solution was to shutdown and restart my PC. I was able to play through the first two levels after the fact without path tracing with decent performance.

After doing some research I saw that some people reported path tracing issues if dynamic resolution was enabled. I turned it off and the same issue persisted. I then saw that some people reported that this was an issue with GPU power draw when enabling path tracing.

To test this I used LACT to drop the power limit from 330W to 231W without changing anything else. Attempting to run The Dark Ages with path tracing resulted in my system freezing, but then it would unfreeze after about 10 seconds. Everything would function fine except for the game window, which is permanently black and non-responsive and I had to kill it via steam. I had a live graph of the power consumption in LACT while I did this and no spikes ever registered. I would like to highlight that LACT did freeze when everything else did, but when the program unfroze no power spike was registered.

After this I ran some other games just to confirm that my GPU still worked. The games would typically freeze on their into stream and my system would crash. However upon shutting down my PC, resetting the LACT power limit, and starting it back up I was able to play other games for an extended period of time just fine.

I was wondering if anyone has experienced an issue similar to this and was able to remedy it. The fact that the crashes were very delayed at some points makes me think this is a software issue, not a hardware issue, but I don't know that for sure. If anyone has had a similar issue I would appreciate a response.

All I know is that the windows version uses DirectStorage and does not have loading problems in Kaifeng and in Linux DirectStorage does not exist and it drops to 1fps or less until all assets are loaded in Kaifeng. Is there any hope for this game to ever run properly in linux or should I just give up? Outside of Kaifeng it's pretty fine for the most part...

using the following commands

WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY=8:0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 DXVK_ASYNC=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%

More of a joke, while playing a game, my game froze, then suddenly both my monitors decided to evolve. Rebooted PC and it's fine. The vertical monitor runs off an HDMI from the motherboard, and the horizontal monitor runs off a DisplayPort cable from the GPU. Wonder what happened. I just recently updated Ubuntu today, as well as installed a new AIO for my CPU.

Hi everyone! 🐧

I've been working on a solution to run multiple independent instances of the same Steam game on Linux. As many of you know, Steam and Proton often struggle with concurrent execution due to single-instance locks and shared prefixes.

I wrote a script using umu-run and gamescope to isolate instances under different users. But the killer feature is the input broadcasting: it syncs perfectly with an Xbox controller, letting one controller drive every window at the same time.

🛠️ How it works

The script automates the tedious parts of manual multiboxing:

1. User Isolation: Runs each game instance under a separate Linux user (e.g., user1, user2).
2. Environment Setup: Automatically handles XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, .steam directories, and xauth (X11) permissions so windows appear on your main display.
3. Proton Management: Uses distinct prefixes for each user to avoid lock-file conflicts.
4. First Run Logic: Detects new users and generates a temporary interactive script to initialize the prefix (install DirectX/VCRedist) once.
5. Fast Launch: Generates a FastRun.sh for subsequent one-click mass launches.

📋 Requirements

• gamescope
• umu-run (Unified Linux Wine Game Launcher)
• sudo privileges (to switch users)
• xauth & xterm

💻 The Script

Here is the full source code. Save it as setup_multibox.sh, make it executable, and run with sudo. (Note: Edit the Configuration section at the top to match your Game Path and AppID).

How to set this up:

1. Download Steam, install the game, select a Proton version, and launch it once (to initialize it).
2. Open the script and replace the paths to the prefix folder (CompatData) and the .exe file with your own.
3. Important: Don't forget to change the account names in the USERS list to your own.

I just wanted to preface this by saying that i don't use linux. I only posted on here since it seems people get reliable answers on here regarding Vesktop.

I installed vesktop as screensharing on the OG Discord app would just be horrible at times, despite me having alright internet. But ever since i got Vesktop, streaming things without my friends seeing it stutter or get bad quality is awesome. However. It comes with the issue of my friends hearing themselves on my stream.

how do i fix this?

I'm at wits end. When I install and run Blackguards 1 through Heroic Game Launcher, it executes fine, but when I create a character and jump into the first tutorial battle, the turn based combat instantly finishes my turn so that the easy enemy constantly attacks without me being able to take any action.

It's such a weird bug, since graphically and runtime wise, it seems to run fine. But alright, bugs happen. But then I installed the Steam version and that one works flawlessly.

But here's the kicker: Then I added the Heroic install as a non-steam game to Steam and ran it with the exact same Proton version (GE-10-28), and now it works too. So it can't be the executable, nor the Proton version right? What could Heroic be doing wrong? Any settings I can try? I already tried various settings like "Use Steam Runtime" but nothing has any effect.

Since I manage to run it through Steam, I could just play it that way. But this is such an absurd error; it turned into a weird obsession by now trying to figure out what is going on and how I can fix it.

Anyone got any clues or things I could try?

 

TL;DR: Game installed through HGL and run with GE-Proton10-28 has a weird ingame glitch. But when adding the same executable as a non-steam game to Steam run with the same Proton version, it works

Hello so I am trying to get protontricks to work although I have a separate drive just for video games. I am getting this issue:

Steam library folder /media/UserName/Games/SteamLibrary not found. Protontricks might not have access to the directory.

I have installed ProtonTricks via package manager (apt) and not the flatpak version and have tried to use chmod -R 777 [filepath] hoping that opening all access to the folder would help. Although I still am running into the same issue.

TLdr: Can someone please help me give access to my game drive to ProtonTricks installed via Aptitude.

I have an issue with an 8 GB card. ( rtx 3070 ) Performance is insanely different on windows. I can run at high settings on TLOU 2 with 100+ fps, while linux runs on low settings with 60 fps (sometimes the fps drops even lower) and apps crash due to lack of vram. I know 1440p with an 8 gb card isn't really good though and with Discord and chromium open it uses 1.9 GB of vram. Although closing every app doesn't really help with performance.

Specs:
Fedora 43 KDE

Ryzen 7 7700x

32 GB DDR5 6000 mt/s

RTX 3070

1440p monitor

Nvidia open source driver 580.119.02

however i notice games that dont use a lot of vram dont have any performance loss. This is the only game I have with this issue, however other games usually run fine but have the app opening causing a crash issue because running out of vram as well.

Running MX Linux 25 and Unraid 7.2.3

After googling around, seems like using an SMB network share to store games is a no go, right?

I tried a few times with a small-ish game (Unreal Gold) and it seems to only work if the game is on my main system instead of on an SMB share that I have setup in /etc/fstab.

//192.168.0.100/vmdata/Amdy /mnt/Amdy cifs vers=3.0,noserverino,username=user,password=password,noperm,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,_netdev,cache=none,exec 0 0

I tried installing the game, then making the network share the default, then moving the game to this new location. Unreal doesn't launch.

If I move it back to my main .steam directory on my main system, it works again.

Also, if I try to install the game with the network share as a default, I get Disk Write Errors. That's why I tried installing locally, then moving the file to the network share.
