Hello there!

I recently got myself a RX 9070, and I am fairly happy with it.

However, I seem to have this issue, where when I am using Linux, I am getting glitches and graphical artifacts in different places. You can see these below.

I was kind of wondering whether the GPU was dying, but I don't really know what is happening. There really doesn't seem to be any clear issues, other than the graphical ones. I tried gaming in Linux, and the games ran fine, without any issues.

At this point, I don't know.

Any help would be appreciated.

Been playing Dex past couple days without issue, today the comtroller setup was completely fucked, checked a couple other native linux games I had and it wasn't the controller so I uninstalled the game and installed the windows version. Will update if the game works going forward, might be a bad native port.

Hey there! I want to transform my main desktop into a back bedroom Media / gaming box.

What I'm looking for it to do:
Have a console like UI where a Controller makes it ease of use

Be able to play downloaded content / streamed content from major streaming platforms

be able to play Steam, Ubisoft, and Gamepass games.

With Windows I still need keyboard / mouse for the most part, any suggestions?

Specs:

AMD Ryzen 7 7700XD

AMD Radeon 6900 Red Devil

32gb Ram

Been a minute since I did Linux stuff but has the AMD driver based stuff like Frame Gen/ Scaling work the way it does in Windows with an application? The AMD Adrenaline Edition application I mean.

Context, recently i switched to linux mint, and i wpuld like to play a lot of gmes but the problem is that i don't really have the fincial stability to buy them all at the moment, so i wondering if its possible to get them "the other way" i looked on youtube but only found 1 video and it was not much help

Good day all, Was looking for a distro I can install on an older laptop.

The laptop has a 4th gen i7 processor and NVidia GTX 960 (or 970, have to double check.), as well as 12 gbs of ram.

I do have older games that I know this computer can run (Wanted to start Bioshock infinite) and some things in Blender (not super intensive).

I was considering CachyOS but it recommended at minimum a 2000 series Nvidia GPU.

So i tried to play cs2 with my laptop today, at this point i‘m waiting 3 Hours until cs2 has finished compiling Vulkan Shaders. I‘m using all of my 12 Threads to compile the Shaders so this is not the Issue. Any way to save the Shaders after reboot or any way to speed this up ?

PS: on my PC it only takes a minute

I just released a roguelike I've been working on that's inspired by "Risk of Rain 2" and "Motherload." I started development on Windows 10, but I switched to Linux Mint near the end because of Microsoft's BS. Linux has been so good to me that I decided to go through the (relatively little) trouble of releasing on Linux too! I'm really excited to release my first Linux game, and if you wanna check it out, here's a link to the Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3252310/Comet_Rogue/(Link ist extern)

Why do game like dota, tf2, and l4d2 need a shader pre-cache update basically everyday

I use whatever tool steam recommends (mostly steam linux runtime) and I also tried stable proton versions but some games don't launch or run poorly with these version and only run well with steam linux runtime or experimental/hotfix and I use limited internet so updates that big the frequently won't work

could it be that they get deleted after every reboot or something and if so could someone tell me where are they stored so that I could try that option or what else do you think is the issue

I am using EndeavourOS with an i5 11400H cpu and the integrated graphics

I never liked Windows 11, so I finally switched to Linux on my GamingPC. All the games I play run perfectly out of the Box (Steam). No problems detected yet. Here's my desktop: clean and minimalistic. Goodby Redmond!

I want to run an online game twice through Steam Proton on Linux with different Steam accounts simultaneously. Each Steam account has a copy of the game, and operating up to two clients of the game on one computer is allowed by their ToS.
I am looking for a solution that isn't taking up a lot of additional disk space, like setting up a virtual machine and installing Steam and the game a second time there. There should be no interruptions with the internet connection and switching between the game windows should be quick and easy.

With a standalone game client, I could probably just launch the game twice and use different logins to achieve this, but this isn't an option with Steam.

Is sandboxing Steam with something like apparmor, firejail, bubblewrap, or flatpak, a solution for this?

Is it maybe even possible for Steam, installed on a VM, to launch the game that is installed outside of the VM? Though I have no idea how well it would run and how it works with nvidia drivers.

Are there other solutions?

Changing options to full size display 1920 x 1080 causes very significant keyboard and mouse latency, making the game unplayable.

Second image shows the default screen size where there are no input lag issues, but I would prefer to use the full screen like any other game.

I had issues recently trying to get Armored Core 6 to work because of EAC and found out it only seems to work properly when it's on my main drive, as opposed to my larger secondary one. It works now, but this causes a problem because I do actually need the space it's taking on the main drive.

I've been looking into ways I could secretly move my game folder to the other drive without affecting Steam using symlinks. I've tried moving the whole folder, but then the game had the same issue, so I assume it has an issue with the .exe being ran from another location. Then I tried moving only the largest files, anything larger than the .exe itself, and excluding that binary; but then it just didn't launch.

Putting aside the specifics of my issue because I don't think I'd get much attention here, has anyone experimented with stuff like this in general? I'm not sure what kind of things I should be aware of regarding how Wine/Proton and Steam interact with symlinking in general.

Hi,

I have a question regarding HDR on Arch with Wayland and GNOME. I am using the new GNOME Shell, specifically GNOME 48, which supports HDR. When I enable HDR, it seems to work, but when I open an HDR-supported game through Steam, the game does not recognize that HDR is enabled. Am I doing something wrong, or what could be the issue? I am using amd cpu and vga. Same games on the same pc are working with hdr on windows.

System Info:
Bazzite 41
KDE Plasma 6.3.1 (Wayland)
RTX 3070
Driver Version: 570.86.16

Basically the issue is whenever I'm playing Minecraft my cursor moves out of the window when I turn around, and every time I open a GUI my cursor is in a random spot. Was previously using Pop OS (Gnome, X11) and didn't have this issue. Does anyone know a fix for this?
