I'm trying to play games like Red Dead 2 and ARMA and I get almost nothing about 40-50fps no matter what I do.

What am I doing wrong? Is this right?

I have been gaming on Linux for the past six months. I've had no issues playing new AAA titles like Baldur's Gate 3 etc. but Sons of the Forest is behaving very weird on both of my systems. Both system are running Endeavour OS. System number 1 is an NVIDIA setup with RTX 3070 and Intel i9 8 core CPU. System number 2 is an older AMD setup with an RX580 and Ryzen 5 3600. My experience is as follows:

• On both systems, game runs quite badly. Changing graphic settings has minimal effect. (Changing from Ultra setting to Ultra low settings only warrants about 10 fps)
• Changing resolution has no effect either. Be it 1080p or 480p, fps stays the same.
• Changing Proton version, old, new, experimental, GE, no change
• On AMD system I can force the game to run on DX12 but not on NVIDIA system, but changing DirectX versions does not improve nothing.
• On AMD system I have dual boot, the game runs at 15fps on high settings (with gamemode run on) on EOS. The game runs at 50fps on same settings on Windows 10.

-While the NVIDIA/Intel system has more powerful hardware, the game runs at 85fps max no matter what settings I run it on.

The Sons of the Forest is an unity engine game. For the AMD system I can tell something is very wrong as this is the first game that runs this badly on it while on Linux. While on Windows 10 changing graphical settings affects FPS greatly, changing graphical settings on EOS has no effect at all.

Same on NVIDIA, while it runs with more FPS, changing graphical settings also doesn't effect FPS.

Does anyone know what could be the reason?

I've been upgrading the 24.04 kernel from 6.8 to 6.9, 6.9.1, and 6.9.2 over the past few days and I have to say, everything runs very well. I haven't had any issues doing normal tasks like gaming or surfing the web or using Libre Office.

It took me a while to lean how to sign the kernels using MOK, since I want to keep using Secure boot and UEFI.

Hey, I recently switched to linux and decided to go for Manjaro cinnamon by dual booting. I installed Minecraft but when i launched it, it was using my onboard gpu, not the dedicated one. I have a Intel+Nvidia(geforce 710m) laptop. I messed around a bit with gpu drivers and tested them with nvidia-smi to find out if they are working or not. video-nvidia-390xx driver was working so i rebooted and after that i was stuck with a black screen and a "_" in top left. then i uninstalled driver by using ctrl+alt+f2 menu and after a reboot Manjaro is working fine but i still don't have a driver. How can i fix the black screen with video-nvidia-390xx driver?

I have an issue with my games not launching after rebooting, and found the issue is due to a weird thing with my external drive needing to be unmounted and remounted in order to launch the game. This seems silly, but would anyone know why this happen?

External drive: EXT4

OS: Arch

Steam: native arch build, but same behavior on flatpak

My fstab for this drive looks like:
/dev/sdc1 /games ext4 users 0 0

I'm using KDE Plasma 6.x wayland on archlinux and playing Stardew Valley. Issue is I can't seem to bind the side buttons of my Logitech Lightsync G102 mouse in the game, it's as if the buttons don't exist to the game at all.

Piper detects the buttons fine and has forward and backward set for both, and it works in browser too.

How do i fix this?

it say running for 2 minute then crash i have no mods reinstalled game no launch option

distro :Arch Linux x86_64

kernel: 6.9.1-zen1-2-zen

wm: dwl

im currently using nobara but i recently learned about bazzite, should i switch and if so how

I’ve seen great use of proton and how it can handle launching games, but I have personally run into some issues in games. I’ve also read about some people installing the games via wine then using steam solely as a launcher. Is either a better compatibility use than the other?

I installed mangohud and goverlay through the terminal.

I've been developing Year Unknown for ~3 years at this point. While I originally started development on Windows with Unity, I've since switched entirely to Linux, and moved development to Godot. I'm a solo developer and have a budget of pretty much $0 (other than store fees), so I use FOSS tools almost exclusively (Godot, Blender, GIMP, Inkscape, etc.). The only exception is Reaper, which is my DAW of choice.

Trailer for Year Unknown

The game itself is a narrative-driven exploration game set in the very far future, where humanity has found a way to make the universe last forever. The game’s story covers a lot of existential issues that come from the premise, revealed through two characters you can talk to through terminals.

I know there’s other developers who have done the same, but I thought I’d share my experience. Feel free to ask any questions about my process or setup, I'd love to help anyone who's trying to do something similar! (And if the game is interesting to you, a wishlist would be very appreciated!)

I installed Bazzite KDE yesterday and let Steam download a bunch of games over night. I fired up FO4 just now only to be greeted with it rendering in a window 1/4 of my screen space. I did some digging and updated the FO4prefs.ini file in My Games folder to reflect 4k rez and use full screen. Now when I launch the game, if goes fullscreen at 4k, but the game rendering itself is 4x too big. I only see 1/4 of the game.

What's the fix for this? TIA!

EDIT: I managed to get the game to fit within my screen space my setting Maximize Window = 0. However, the game keeps resetting the resolution to 1200x800 when I need it to be 3840x2160. Any ideas?

EDIT 2: Mouse and keyboard don't work once at main menu. I have controller input set to disabled in Steam.

so, im using ubuntu and trying to run proton up when i try to.. literally nothing happens idk what to do i cant find anything to help me.

"Unable to open Launcher.xml"

Greetings,

To make a long story short, I cannot get Windows based games to work using X, my AMD card and any version of the kernel/mesa. Linux games (Transport Fever 2) work very well. If I use Wayland, everything works well. In all cases, I'm using the provided graphics drivers in the kernel and Proton 9.1.

I have seen other posts with the symptoms I'm getting but I didn't see anyone mentioning which cards. So, if anyone else is struggling and you have an AMD card, try Wayland.

So I've landed on Pop!OS, Wayland and all is well.

Regardless of whether I am using stable repos/drivers, Wayland, Xorg, etc., xwayland crashes randomly, things randomly become unresponsive, or exhibit artifacting when dragging or maximizing windows. Hotkeys will randomly stop working, games will randomly tab out during play, and games will randomly crash (native or Proton), games might take a few attempts to start, Steam downloads slower unless fix is implemented, etc.

Don't get me wrong, I am not going anywhere, and part of me enjoys troubleshooting and making stuff work, but another part of me gets annoyed when I just want to play a game with my friends.

Hi everyone!

Anyone know when the 555 nvidia driver is coming to the Ubuntu Graphics PPA?

It's been almost a week and still nothing.
