I wonder if anyone else is also having problems with game performance after the latest vulkan updates. Yesterday, the following packages were updated:

I've been playing Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrade this week and it was simply perfect. After the updates, I'm having massive screen stuttering - it never happened before.

I appreciate any help trying to troubleshoot this.

Hey everyone,

I'm having trouble with my save data for Stray Gods across my Ubuntu PC and Steam Deck, and I could really use some help.

Here's the situation:

• I started playing Stray Gods on a plane, so I was offline.
• Later, I launched the game on my Steam Deck before syncing the save data online via my PC.
• Now, my Steam Deck isn't picking up any progress from the PC.

What I've tried so far:

• I attempted to locate the save files on Ubuntu but couldn't find them.
• Tried forcing a manual save by completing another mission.
• Changed the Proton version.
• Uninstalled and reinstalled the game on the Steam Deck.

Unfortunately, nothing has worked. At this point, I'd be happy to just move my Ubuntu save data to my Steam Deck and continue from there, but I can't locate the save files on Ubuntu.

For reference, both my Steam Deck and Ubuntu installation are on the latest versions (Ubuntu 24.04 and Steam Deck latest beta update).

Has anyone faced a similar issue or have any advice on how to resolve this? Any guidance on where the save files might be located or other troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Everytime I try to join a match I am alone in the lobby and no one else joins me. Can anyone help me or know what's up?

Hi all, installed bazzite with game mode. On bootup it goes straight into steam bigpicture mode in game mode. I want to boot into desktop, how can i change the way it boots and disable game mode?

I need to go into desktop for work most days, makes no sense to always go into steam.

Thanks

Currently the Steam page for God of War Ragnarok and Until Dawn clearly state that a PSN is required. It doesn't say what it's for, the games do not have multiplayer to lock behind a PSN account requirement like Ghost of Tsushima did. And it even says on the GoT Steam page that the PSN account is required for the multiplayer and PS Overlay. So for now I feel like it's safe to assume until otherwise stated by Sony, Steam, or the developers of these games say what it's required for, we should assume it's for the game. And if that's true, that's pretty bad for people who wanted to buy the game and they should not preorder or buy if they only or primarily game on Linux/Steam Deck. Especially since there is zero reason to lock a single player experience behind a PSN account requirement that offers zero benefits beyond trophies.

I still can't sign in on Ghost of Tsushima.

Hello everyone, I am thinking about using unreal engine source on Linux distro because it ue5 runs horrible on windows now on my laptop, i tried to use ue5 pre build from size on Ubuntu a long time ago it was good but I removed Ubuntu because of storage issue, now I have a new SSD I want to use ue5 with Linux , which distros will be good with ue5 source (I am planning to use ue5.1.1 ). Thank you.

Hey everyone!! I figured I’d post here because it’s been really eating away at me for a while!!

I had a friend when I was really young and her older brother had Linux. I saw him playing this game one time and I have never, ever been able to find this game since.

I have a super foggy memory of this game but one thing I remember was there was one level where a head was floating around (and I think smoking?) and then would cough that would release projectiles down and I can’t remember if you had to dodge it or catch it?

I just remember this game creeped me out as a kid and I’ve been trying to find it lately just for a laugh! Any help is super appreciated!!!

As Microsoft Windows gets fatter with adware, bloatware, and spyware. It's getting increasingly more difficult to run games at the frame rate you want them to because all of that garbage is running in the background at all times, and it's completely uninstallable. I just want a good operating system for gaming and i feel like Linux could do me justice. So.. Which version of Linux do i choose? There are so many versions of Linux out there it makes me dizzy.

Edit: I think i've gathered my answers. Pop OS, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Mint are the ones i'll check out. I'm especially interested in Pop OS because of NVIDIA drivers which would be useful for me.

Before you yell at me, yes I have done my research on fixes for this issue, and have found nothing related to Debian. I have tried GE-Proton and the --use-d3d11 start command and have not had any luck. I am running Debian Trixie, does anyone have any suggestions?

I've been such a fan of the CD-ROM game Throne of Darkness ever since I first played the game on Windows 98, and I've been getting that itch of playing the game again! However, now that my chosen OS is Fedora Linux, I'm quickly finding out that installing Throne of Darkness from it's 2 CD-ROM set isn't easy. My guess is WINE is not correctly detecting the CD-ROM disc change which is causing the following error even though Throne of Darkness CD 2 (THRONECD2) is in my DVD Writer drive:

The E:\LotFiles\Quests.lot could not be opened.

Before clicking OK which causes the games installer to close, I checked the THRONECD2 disc with Dolphin and the requested Quests.lot file is there. I've taken a screenshot of this:

Throne of Darkness installation error

My question is: Does anyone know how I can successfully install Throne of Darkness CD-ROM from within Lutris?

I am on a lightweight distro roll and I was thikning of testing it.

Hello brothers, I am currently having problems when running Battlefield 1 in STEAM, I tried with lutris, with Wine and when I am logged in to the application the game opens and closes, something to highlight I have steam with ProtonGe9-5 (which most games run excellent) but I have problems with Ea games. Thank you!

Hey, just wanted to ask, since C2 is free on EGS, if it works via Heroic on there? Or does it have to be on steam specifically, when it comes to anti cheat?

I'm using the BepinEx mod loader to mod a game called Back to the Dawn.

I download the Linux verstion of BepInEx, extract its contents to the game archive, then did chmod u+x run_bepinex.sh. Then, I opened Steam's launch options and set it to ./run_bepinex.sh %command% and ran the game. But the game is not generating the config files in the BepinEx/config folder

What am I doing wrong?

everything works on lutris games and steam big picture mode (even rumble) but not inside a steam game. inputs work when steam input is enabled but rumble stops working.

I am on Arch Linux, RTX 3070 and running Gnome.

Steam does allow me to select "properties" for example. But, the issue is all over the UI, I am unable to click/select items on the mouse properly. It's like the UI isn't honoring my mouse clicks.

Moreover, I notice the UI isn't exactly snappy, its a quite laggy. If I load big picture everything pretty much stops.

Is there anything I can do? Or is this the current state of nvidia (wayland), steam etc? I never remember it being that bad
