I truly have no idea what caused this. Looking at the wine prefixes the games should be fine. When I try to run a game, it gets stuck at "launching". The logs are empty. I've restarted, tried to update, etc.

The only game that doesn't say missing is FFXIV, which I manually configured to try to get it to recognize. Seemingly it recognizes the prefix and game data because it doesn't say "missing," however the game still doesn't launch and behaves exactly like the others.

I'm on Pop!_OS 22.04. Thanks for any help, I'll try to answer any questions.

Good evening.

https://preview.redd.it/jbyu5eg8vomd1.png?width=2048&format=png&auto=webp&s=f4a9a529eb7933ff119348682cd0399c39d4a3d4

I downloaded the "HOLOISO" Linux Distribution with the intent of installing it as a Virtual Machine. My computer is getting too old to run many of my favorite games, so I decided to try a Virtual Machine. I used the "Rufus" USB Flash Drive kit to make an USB flash drive that accepts UEFI booting procedures, and loaded it into "VM Ware". I booted from the flash drive that I used the "Rufus" to program, as instructed. The installation completed successfully, but now, whenever I start the "HOLOISO" Linux Distribution operating system, I get a black screen. For a brief second, a line of code flashes across the screen, and then it remains black from then on. Restarting it does not help. This is the screen I see in the OS: https://archive.is/6zkcm . I have not been able to get anything else to work. These are the specifics of my machine (the host): MAKE/MODEL: Dell Optiplex 9020 Mini-Tower, sixty-four bit RAM: Thirty-two gigabytes of RAM OS: "Windows VII Professional" CPU: Intel Core I7-4770 CPU, Eight Cores, 3.40 Gigahertz GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX-1660 What am I doing wrong? -TURTLESHROOM submitted by /u/Advanced_Friend4348

Hi y'all, I've been playing terraria recently and I wanted to rebind the quick heal / mana buttons to my side mouse so I don't have to stretch across my keyboard to heal in a tense fight, but it doesn't work. I can bind it to my other mice buttons and keys but not the side mouse buttons. I am using a Razer Naga on KDE Wayland if that helps determine the solution. I've checked it with firefox and other apps and surely enough it's just fine, maybe it's something to do with key shortcuts, idk. Any tips are appreciated :D

I just swapped from using the flatpak version of steam to the one provided my my package manager, and now any game that requires Proton to run either crashes immediately or never shows up, for example, I was previously able to play The Witcher Enchanted Edition no problem, but now it will not launch.

I'm not very proficient at Linux, but I understand I should at least try and look at the logs to find out what's going on here.

On my home desktop I'm running a 2TB NVME drive, and I had a partition with windows (~1.5TB)that I haven't touched since march or so when I migrated to fedora (~0.5TB), and I've now ran out of space on my fedora partition where I mostly game.

I deleted my windows partition earlier today, but I held back on extending the fedora partition because I was considering making a new partition and move all my games there (roughly 250GB atm, I need ~80GB more for Cyberpunk2077). Another thing that crossed my mind is installing arch on it (make it a 1TB partition for example and keep the other ~0.5TB for an emergency), and daily drive it for a while and maybe remain there until I decide to hop.

Generally what is recommended in this situations, should I just extend the fedora one, and isntall arch on a 0.5TB and play around with it and see what's what?

Another factor to trying arch is that I haven't tried it (technically I tried to, but I bricked it mid install), and also for whatever reason my VR headset (OG HTC vive) doesn't work on fedora, never managed to figure out why.

Also another question, is there any reason for not having games on a different partition? Can steam give me problems with that?

Open to discussion/advice/ideas.

I've searched everywhere and it seems there is no information regarding monitor overclocking with NVIDIA graphics under Wayland. And I have even tried overclocking my modest 60hz monitor on X11 with xrandr with no success whatsoever, maybe it's because I'm using the property drivers? IDK, and to be honest it's not like I can even use the open source alternatives like Nouveau because I have a Pascal GTX 1060, and they're not very supported when it comes to open source....

If you have any way to overclock monitors under Wayland with NVIDIA Graphics I'd be so grateful for the help. Otherwise if you have any information about this, feel free to tell me about it. :D

And yeah, i know it's not recommended to do this, but I already overclocked my monitor to 79hz on Windows with total success and i love the smoothness, and I can't live without it :'(

I have a BENQ GW2265 if you're asking.

Tried remote play from an arch host to a LMDE client. It works perfectly except that the stream freezes clientside if it is the main window. If i'm focused on another window i can see the video working and the mouse movement registering, but the moment i click on the stream window it freezes. Any idea how to fix this?

Hi all, this may be a reqlly dumb question but I need to install protonhax in order to install sime debug tools for an Elden Ring mod. Im not super tech savvy, so I need help with parsing out what exactly im doing with installing protonhax. According to the instructions I need the file along my $PATH. Im not sure what this means, do I need to put the file somewhere in my steam directory??

Github for reference: https://github.com/jcnils/protonhax

Im on linux mint.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I bought a New PC with 7900xtx gpu and 7800x3d CPU, and now I have to decide for an OS. Whats the performance difference these days between linux and windows?

Because actually Id much prefer going linux only, but Im afraid that I bought expensive Hardware for nothing, if it performs worse on linux. Is that the case? Trank you.

Hey there friends, I usually don't have any issues running games on linux but I don't push those limits usually either.

I'm recently trying getting back into WoW to check out the new content and do some PVP at least. While it plays well on my desktop (AMD 6800xt & 5800x) my laptop (Framework 16 Laptop Arch Linux KDE Wayland) is quite stuttery even on lowest settings. It gets really bad when alt-tabbing too but that recovers fairly quick. I will say the occasional thing I want to look up has me reaching for my phone instead of alt-tab though so I would like to improve it there.

I am pretty experienced in linux for server use cases but I'd say less so with desktop application performance troubleshooting.

I installed bnet through lutris, wow through bnet.

What I've done so far is:

• set the settings very low
• windows mode
• regedit for some x11 setting
• wine config force dedicated gpu
• wine config emulate a desktop
• wine config do not decorate window

The above configs seemed to make alt-tabbing a better experience. The wow process seems to eventually need a restart after just an hour or two though as it gets unplayable over time it seems.

Anyone have any ideas of what I could/should try? I wonder if I don't have the correct drivers installed or didn't select the most ideal providers for some components during arch install.

Recently, my controller has been randomly disconnecting while I'm playing games. However, that's not the main issue. When it does disconnect, it quickly reconnects, but once it comes back, it doesn't work anymore.

Note: With the Xbox controller (USB), when you hold the green button and move the analog stick, the mouse cursor moves. This functionality works when the controller reconnects, but when I try to do something in-game, nothing happens.

I have tried changing the kernel version, using the Flatpak version of Steam, and switching from Fedora to Debian, but the problem persists.

Basically i just got Naruto storm 2 running on Lutris, 2 problems i got were sound crackling and Vsync can't be turned off. I'm playing on a laptop with integrated graphics (Ice Lake UHD G1) and i have to disable vsync to get good fps...

Any help would be much appreciated

PS: The version of wine i'm running is wine-ge-8-26-x86-64

I'm getting huge mouse delay when playing some games (happens in Hunt: Showdown and Deadlock at the moment)
This is how it looks like, anyone getting same issue? Any known fix?

Note: English is not my first language, sorry for any mistake.

Why

The whole Windows Recall thing was the last straw for me.

Previous experience

I've used Linux a lot in the past since the Compiz days, but always dual booting Windows for games. Eventually I saw myself never really using Linux because most of my time on the PC was gaming.

Nowadays my main PC is also my work PC (I'm a freelance mobile developer, mostly focused on Flutter), so either Windows or Linux is fine. In the past I worked with Python/Django on Linux, too.

Also, I have a Steam Deck which runs Linux of course.

My experience

I decided to go with Fedora because I've always wanted to try it. I'm used to Ubuntu with XFCE but Fedora sounded nice (flatpak, rolling release? not sure about that last part). Not a fan of Gnome but not really sure if installing KDE/XFCE would break stuff.

I had an Nvidia 3080, which would've worked just fine I think. But I'm not really happy with Nvidia as a company, so I decided to sell the 3080 and use a Vega 56 I had laying around. It's a big downgrade, performance-wise. But I don't want to buy a new GPU until RDNA4. Also I don't play very demanding games. The Vega 56 works just fine at 1440p.

So, the rig is a Ryzen 5 5600, AMD Vega 56, 32 GB Ram, 1440p monitor

Steam

I started with the flatpak version but had some issues. I couldn't add another drive as a library (fixed by using flatseal and setting permissions). I also had some issues with the Steam Controller (should be fixed installing steam-devices I think, but that didn't work). So I decided to uninstall the flatpak and use the regular version instead. Seems to be working fine

Every game I've tried has worked fine (I will add a list at the end), but it's true that I've had far more crashes than I ever had on Windows. I don't think I ever had a single Steam crash on Windows, to be frank. Not really sure about this, but I think it's Waylands fault, or maybe Discord? The crash report usually shows a Discord log. I've crashes pressing the Print Screen key, and also while doing some Steam Controller configuration.

I've had many problems trying to use the Steam Controller with TitanFall 2, but I think that's EA Play overlay thing which I can't disable. Fuck EA, but damn it I love TitanFall 2.

I also use Retroarch a lot. Sometimes the playlists become unavailable for some reason. I haven't done research on why.

Games I've tried

• Divinity: Original Sin
• Factorio
• F.E.A.R.
• Horizon: Zero Dawn
• The Messenger
• Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (from the Master Collection)
• Moonlighter
• Outer Wilds
• Pepper Grinder
• Prey (2007)
• Roboquest
• Sam & Max: Save the World Remaster
• TitanFall 2
• Two Point Hospital
• Wolfenstein (2009, pirated version since it's not in Steam anymore, running through Wine and added as a non-steam game)

Other stuff

I knew that my capture card wouldn't work (Elgato 4k60 Pro, a PCI card), so I removed before starting all this. Maybe I'll get an external one, but I don't really need it.

Things I want to try

• I have a Meta Quest 3 which I really like. I have to try ALVR, but my hopes are not very high. Also going from 3080 to Vega 56 isn't probably a good thing for VR.

• Streaming to the Steam Deck. I used Sunshine on Windows so I guess I should try that.

The future

I'm going to keep using Fedora. Probably will update the GPU when RDNA4 is available

Some questions

• What is mesa? Should I use it? How can I know if that's installed or not?
• Not really sure what drivers I'm using, how can I tell?

Yes I read the documentation but I am still a noob. I have the folder installed from the repo yet I don’t know how to configure the file, I’m not expecting a full description but maybe a link to a blog going into depth or a yt video. My APU is at 95-99% use but my cpu is at around 25% so will boosting cpu performance help see higher fps and better performance overall?

Thanks

Manjaro btw
