Hello everyone! I've been having an issue with Valheim and Marvel Rivals crashing randomly. Sometimes it's immediate and sometimes it's after playing Valheim/MR for 2+ hours...

I'm currenlty using Bazzite v43 but the problem persists in CachyOS and just Arch (I distro hopped thinking it could solve the issue but also out of pure interest).

Here are my hardware specs:

• Ryzen 7 9700X 3.8GHz
• Gigabyte B650 GAMING X AM5
• Crucial Pro 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM
• Powercolor Reaper RX 9070XT 16GB
• MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850W 80+ Gold

Things I've tried:

• Tried changing the different Proton layer version in Steam and ProtonPlus to Proton-GE Latest, GE-Proton10-27, Proton Experimental, Proton Hotfix, and Proton 10.0-3
• For Marvel Rivals, I've used added this to the arguments: SteamDeck=1 PROTON_LOG=1 %command%. I've also used other arguments found on ProtonDB like game-performance %command%
• I have also added the proton log argument to Valheim. I do have both proton logs, for MR/Valheim, but I'm not sure how to parse through the information effeciently. Just searching up the errors in the logs seems to just dig further into issues that I'm unable to determine if they are relevant
• The only setting in BIOS I have changed was Secure Boot to Disabled and turned on the XMP 1 profile

Thoughts/Other Issues:

• After some research, I've noticed some people are pointing fingers towards their 9070 XT as the issue. But how can I determine if my GPU is the issue? Example reddit post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1pmfwyl/my_rx_9070_xt_crashed_my_entire_pc_in_cyberpunk/
• For Marvel Rivals, while loading the shaders whenever you first install the game/clear your shaders cache, the game would crash with an Assertion Failed Error: https://imgur.com/OyzqztE
• Another MR crash image but the Unreal Engine crash window: https://imgur.com/a4oAFYo
• For Valheim, the crash would just be immediate or my whole PC would crash and I would have to hard resest using the power button. Last time this happened, I just had a green screen and was unable to do anything with my mouse/keyboard

Before I built this PC, I was messing with Arch Linux on my old PC for 1-2 months out of pure interest. I used ML4W dot files and simply just used a youtube tutorial. This old PC built using a NVIDIA 2060 GPU/Ryzen 7 1700 CPU and I still played both Valheim and MR without issue. After building my new PC and reinstalling Arch w/ ML4W dotfiles is where I started encountering this issue. I wouldn't say I'm a complete noob at linux, but I definitely don't know enough. BUT I'm extremely open to learning.. I just may have taken a bigger bite than I can chew...

TLDR: I have no idea what I'm doing or how to approach this issue even after some research... Can someone help point me in the right direction?

I recently got Lossless Scaling since it was on sale for the steam winter sale, and I saw that lsfg-vk is out so you can run it on Linux now. I went with the stable 1.0 version and was able to get it working on The Finals. I had to use launcher options though, it just wouldn't do anything if I tried only selecting the process from the configuration GUI. Made sure it was pointed to the correct location for Lossless.dll as well. In game, I would limit my FPS to 60, so on 2X mode it should be rendering at 120, but mangohud, the steam fps performance overlay, and also the feel of the game were all still at 60fps. I could tell it was running though because especially on performance mode on lsfg-vk, I could see ghosting on the crosshair that isn't present when it's disabled. I also tried running it with other games, but just can't get it to actually increase my framerate. Tried with the pre-release 2.0 version as well and couldn't get that to even find the game process at all. Anyone have ideas what's going on, or what I am doing wrong?

Hi, sorry if I'm making some mistake in this question, I've been looking everywhere and I can't find an accurate answer.

I have MangoHUD configured, and have successfully run benchmarks with csv outputs in desktop mode. However, when I switch to game mode, I can't get it to run. I only get Steam's performance overlay which, as far as I understand, uses MangoHUD under the hood but configured differently. So I need to either get the "normal" MangoHUD to load correctly under game mode, or find some way to get Steam's implementation to log the stats I want into a csv. How do I do this?

Hi everyone, new linux user here and I installed mint a couple of days ago. I have some free games on epic games launcher so I have decided to install heroic launcher to run them. The problem is that I have a potato laptop with integrated graphics, so when I try running the game "wolfenstein new order", I get about 30 fps which is barely playable. The lowest possible resolution through in-game settings is 1280p. Now I have tried a few settings like installing gamescope but I wasn't successful. Heroic says they can't find a compatible version of gamescope on my system. I also tried "emulate a virtual desktop" through wine config setting which does run the game in the resolution I set it to and it's buttery smooth, but the problem is that it opens in a small window and I cannot make it fullscreen. My screen's native res is 1920x1080p.

Help would be much appreciated and please keep in mind I know little to nothing about linux so I need a simple explanation. I don't even know what flatpaks are to be honest

Link to the build video: https://youtu.be/x_8qHucPnIo?si=80mdG3YbWEoVkLZE

I have used the AMD BC-250, it's basically a PS5 board with 2 fewer cores and 12 CUs (essentially, it has 70% of the power of a PS5), and installing SteamOS on it via Bazzite works like a charm, all for less than €250 including the controller (I 3D printed the case, it's a custom design).

The video also includes some benchmarks :)

Announcing the release of CtrlAssist v0.3.0, which introduces significant new features and usability improvements. CtrlAssist brings "controller assist" functionality to Linux gaming by allowing multiple physical controllers to operate as a single virtual input device. This enables collaborative play and customizable gamepad setups, making it easier for players of all ages and abilities to enjoy games together.

Major Features System Tray Interface

This release introduces a graphical system tray application that provides desktop integration for managing controller multiplexing. Users can now:

• Configure primary and assist controller assignments via dropdown menus
• Start and stop the mux without using the command line
• Adjust settings through a context menu interface
• Receive desktop notifications for status changes
• Persist configuration across sessions

The tray interface supports live reconfiguration of device-invariant settings (mux mode and rumble target) while the mux is running.

Multiple Hiding Strategies

Controller hiding now supports three distinct strategies:

• None: No hiding, manual configuration required
• Steam: Automatically manages Steam's controller blacklist via config.vdf modification
• System: Restricts device permissions system-wide (requires root access)

The Steam hiding strategy enables proper functionality in sandboxed environments without requiring elevated privileges, addressing a key limitation for Flatpak users.

Live Runtime Updates

The mux runtime now supports dynamic reconfiguration without restart for:

• Mux mode changes (Priority, Average, Toggle)
• Rumble target adjustments (Primary, Assist, Both, None)

This functionality is available through both the system tray and programmatic (D-BUS) interfaces, allowing users to adapt behavior during gameplay sessions.

Flatpak Distribution

CtrlAssist is now packaged as a Flatpak application with:

• Automated GitHub Actions workflow for release builds
• Desktop entry and metainfo for application catalogs
• Proper sandbox permissions for device access
• Support for Steam configuration modifications within the sandbox

Flatpak bundles are automatically built and attached to GitHub releases.

Additional Improvements

• Configuration persistence to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ctrlassist/config.toml
• Controller selection by name with best-effort matching across sessions
• Enhanced documentation with installation instructions for both Cargo and Flatpak
• New pixel art banner and application icon (via Aseprite)
• Improved force feedback device recovery after disconnection
• Better error handling and user feedback throughout the application

Installation

CtrlAssist v0.3.0 can be installed via:

• Cargo: cargo install ctrlassist --force
• Flatpak: Download the bundle from the releases page and install with flatpak install

Full installation instructions are available in the README.

Breaking Changes

The --hide flag now requires an enum value (none, steam, system) instead of being a boolean flag. Users upgrading from v0.2.x should update their scripts accordingly:

• Previous: ctrlassist mux --hide
• Current: ctrlassist mux --hide system

Hi everyone,

For Linux players, here is the new version of the resolution selector for Football Life/PES 2021,

As you must know, if you play on linux (SteamOS, Bazzite, ChimeraOS or other...), it is impossible to change the game’s resolution, the settings.exe does not save the changes after closing the tool.

To solve this problem, I created settings.dat files for each resolution from Windows directly, all you have to do is replace the settings.dat file in your/KONAMI folder, I added all the most used resolutions in windowed and full screen mode, they all use 60FPS for gameplay and Replay, and Xinput for the controller (mandatory for Steam).

Resolution available in Windowed mode:

- 720p

- 800p

- 900p

- 1080p

- 1440p

Resolution available in Full Screen mode:

- 768p

- 1080p

- 1440p

- 2160p

It works for Football Life and PES 2021, I did not try for eFootball from the Steam Store but I think they kept the same file, please share it and let me know if it also works for eFootball.

Download

Enjoy!

I'm trying to play Ghost of Tsushima on Bazzite using OptiScaler. Everything seems fine, but when I launch the game, I get this screen saying it can't detect my GPU. If I accept it, everything works, and I get better results than with the FSR3 that comes with the game. I'm using a Radeon 780M. Does anyone know how to fix this? It's annoying having to change the controller settings every time I launch the game.

Hi everyone, I have been out of gaming for a few years, and few days ago built a new gaming pc. I installed win 11, and ran into this subreddit. So now I wonder would there be a big performance increase on my ryzen 5 9600x and 9070xt if I switch to linux?

Been wanting to contribute to Proton for a while and finally found a bug I could actually fix.

MSFS2020's VR controllers would spawn at your headset and refuse to track. After some digging through Wine debug logs, found that xrConvertWin32PerformanceCounterToTimeKHR in wineopenxr was stubbed as unimplemented. Games call QueryPerformanceCounter for timing and need to convert that to XrTime for pose prediction. Without it, the runtime gets 0x0 as the timestamp and can't predict where your controllers should be.

30 lines of code. Cost me 64GB of RAM overnight because building Proton is absolutely insane. Crashed my entire DE. Worth it.

Bonus: this also completes the last unimplemented functions in wineopenxr's openxr_loader.c.

PR: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/pull/9347

Prebuilt Bins in case you want to test it: https://github.com/PhialsBasement/Proton/releases/tag/msfs-fix

If anyone else has been wanting to contribute but feels intimidated, just find a bug that pisses you off enough. That's apparently all the motivation you need.

Hello:)

I currently have an old GTX 1070. I'm in the process of transitioning to linux, but I've heard how the pascal generation of cards tend to struggle with DX12, as well as having poor driver support (nvidea in general).

I'm considering upgrading my GPU, but prices are fairly high in my country. I can get a new RX 7600 (non XT) for about $340, or a used RX 5700XT for about $220.

The 7600 is a little out of my budget, but it would be doable after saving for a little longer.

The main thing I'm concerned about is the risk of buying a 2nd hand GPU that's isn't under warranty.

Since I'm playing on 1080p, I'm not super concerned about performance differences, but a newer card, with better support and a warranty might give the 7600 the edge.

I would appreciate any insight veterans of the space might have :) Thank you

Hey, I'm currently playing The Knightling on Steam. Game worked fine yesterday but this morning when I launch it, it stucks on the editor logo screen and I have to force quit.

The only thing I did is enabling resizable BAR and above 4G decoding in my BIOS. I went back to disable them but the game still gets stuck.

I tried using a different compatibility layer, using X11 instead of Wayland, launching through Heroic instead of Steam but it's always the same result.

I added PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to get a crash log but it's very long.

This line comes the most :

1529.320:0148:014c:trace:unwind:RtlGrowFunctionTable 000000007017E7A0

With this one sometimes inbetween :

1529.320:0148:014c:trace:unwind:RtlAddGrowableFunctionTable 000000007026BE08, 00000000702CE6C0, 0, 513, 70be0000, 70bf0000

My PC is on Debian 13 / Gnome 48 / Kernel 6.12 / Steam native package
