You have to replace the ucrtbase.dll in the prefixes system32 directory.

So I finally managed to configure full single GPU passthrough using QEMU in my Cachy OS. I used Cyberpunk to benchmark considering it's one the most demanding game I own, and I'm absolutely floored by the result. I expected a little less performance from the VM for a multitude of reason and ... well I'll let you be the judge.

Benchmark on Linux (Cachy OS, up to date)

Benchmark on Windows VM (Windows 10 Pro, up to date)

I wasn't expecting the VM to obliterate Linux like that, it's actually insane. Note : I'm not complaining, I don't really car for number of frame, as long as it's stable I'm happy with 30FPS. Do you have the same experience : better perf in a well configured VM ? Is the overhead of Proton that big ?

Using the following:
Linux Mint Cinnamon

PC has... a CPU and 22 GB RAM (weird but it works, more on that later)

Now so help me if I get blowback for using Nvidia. I like Nvidia and I used them extensively before Windows decided to abandon my computer. It's tragic they will not work with Linux developers to optimise their hardware or its drivers. Rant over.

installed Nvidia's driver 575 per the recommendations on the driver manager
Computer has a GTX 750 Ti.

On Windows 10, this setup easily could run Medieval Dynasty in 1360x768 in high settings. It looked GREAT. I loved it. No lag. Computer was a little toasty, but it was great.

Now I'm lucky to be able to run it decently on LOW at 1024x768.

I had to downgrade Proton to 4.11-13 because, for some reason Medieval Dynasty... has some compatibility issues? I can dredge up an old Steam post that I got the idea from; apparently this version of Proton was the last to emulate Windows 7 or something? How can I get the latest version of Proton to "emulate Windows 7" or whatever makes it work?

Help me out here. How can I make use of all that processing power that I once had? Do I have the wrong drivers in it? How can I modify Proton/Protontricks to be compatible AND optimised for my setup?

Thanks!

I have Ubuntu 24.04 and KDE Plasma 5.27.12, and I wanna run Changed in Steam. But with Proton Experimental, Poton 9.0-4 and Proton 6.3-8 game can't run properly. First small window with black screen, then bigger window with black screen, and that's it. Available proton versions: Proton Hotlfix, Proton Experimental, Proton (3.7, 3.16, 4.2, 4.11, 5.0, 5.13, 6.3, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 Beta).

TL;DR: Is there a way to run Magic Online on Linux?

I’ve been playing Magic since 2012. Due to time constraints, it’s been hard to play at my LGS, so I’ve been using MTGO instead. Recently, I switched to Linux (specifically Pop!_OS) and was wondering if there’s a way to run MTGO on it.

I thought about using Steam’s compatibility layer, adding the .exe as a non-Steam game and enabling Proton in the Steam properties. However, I’m not sure if this will work or if it might cause issues that could lead to a ban.

Has anyone successfully gotten MTGO running on Linux?

Let's hope the Devs fix that or at least we get help via Proton Experimental or Proton-GE :/

Hey, I have the same problem with the native Linux version of Escape Goat and Escape Goat 2. When I run the game, I get a nag screen about an Xbox controller being recommended and that I should press Start. I press Enter and it lets me through to the main menu, so clearly keyboard is detected.**However**, I can't move the cursor with keyboard to select another menu item, or even press Enter to start the game! I don't know how to fix this. I tried looking for odd messages in the text console where I type the command to run the game, but there's nothing keyboard-related.

I know I could work around this by downloading a Windows installer and then playing the game through wine, but now after finishing everything in Escape Goat except for Heart of Insanity, I'm annoyed. There should be a way to fix this.

I'm currently on Debian 11. I'm running the game from GOG (I don't use any Galaxy middleware etc.)

Now that Intel stopped Clear Linux OS, is there a spiritual successor to it?

What I'm basically looking for is a Linux OS that works as good as Clear Linux OS did with Intels hardware, especially Intel CPU + Intel GPU (ARC)

I cannot find a clear answer to this. I want to have the drives auto mount and of course I don't want them super slow.

Hey, just wondering if such a laptop exists? Is it possible to cram a discrete GPU into a small form factor Linux laptop? It doesn't have to be the absolute best GPU ever but looking for better than integrated graphics really.

Ta!

as of the new cs2 update, 4:3 fullscreen windowed now works natively and doesn't require you to go through all the gamescope jank!!!

when i wanted to play DRG (Deep Rock Galactic) yesterday on my laptop, wich uses OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with Gnome on Wayland, it didnt wanna work right.

the game opens, shows the developer logo's and then it just stays at a black screen instead of showing the DRG splash screen.

the splashscreen does appear when i alt tab, but when i try interacting with the game, nothing happens.

the imputs get registered, but the immage itself is frozen.

when i alt tab to lets say firefox and view all open windows, drg works perfectly fine, until i make it the active window and then it goes right back to not working.

i did an update yesterday afternoon, wich fixed the issue, but this morning the issue is back.

i allready tried rebooting, switching off of proton experimental, i tried verifiying the files and even reinstalled the game but nothing works.

any idea's on how to fix this?

I just recently started using arch linux on my dualbooting laptop with windows time now and have noticed that witcher 3 runs way worse on arch than on windows. Even with the lowest graphics preset it run without lagging. I haven't done a lot of research about this, but from what I have read I thought that games that run on linux shoud run better than on windows or at least just as good. Would apprecieate some insight or tips how to get better preformance.

I have put together a 7.1.4 virtual surround configuration file and it shockingly works in helldivers 2 and other games that support dolby atmos. This doesn't appear to work in the media players that I've tried(so submit an issue request potentially). Be sure to tune the control values to your preference!!!

Title. I play GTA V a lot, and just finally bought GTA IV to play through that game as well for the story aspect of it.

GTA V has BattlEye, which would ban my online account instantly because it freaks out when it sees Linux. I do NOT want to get banned, as my Rockstar account is already on thin ice for modding GTA V. I've been banned once already.

I want to play GTA IV, but my Windows drive is currently full. If it'll install and work on Linux without getting me banned or setting up any other red flags for Rockstar, then I'll just download it there.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
