So far, OBS and CoreCtrl does not recognize my 9070XT.

07. März 2025 - 23:52

Kind of a bummer because I can't stream with OBS so I'll wait until a Mesa update. Using GPU Screen Recorder for local recordings for now and my GPU's built-in fan curve.

Specs:

7800X3D

9070XT

CachyOS/Gnome/Wayland

Mesa 25.0.1

Kernel 6.13.5-2-cachyos Stable

I tested out 6.14.rc4-1 release candidate because some are saying that they added support for the 9000 series but rc5 was released on January 19. Nothing worked so I went back to 6.13.5-2-cachyos Stable. Anyone else on the 9000 series having issues with OBS?

Have to restart Fedora before running games

07. März 2025 - 23:06

Hi all, hoping you can help.

Running Fedora on my PC and have this weird issue. Every time I start up a game (steam, lutris, anything) I get a black screen and monitor says not detected. When I alt-tab, I can see the game running fine, but when I tab into it I get a black screen. Rebooting the PC and retrying everything works perfectly but it's really frustrating having to do this every time I want to game.

Any ideas on the issue?

Did Proton disable DLSS for Nvidia cards?

07. März 2025 - 22:50

I recall a few months back you had support for frame generation under Proton, but nowadays every game I've tested has removed the frame generation option.

Has that feature in proton broken recently?

Gamescope sometimes works and not

07. März 2025 - 22:23

Hi all,

I am on RTX nvidia GPU, Arch Linux, and trying to play RE4Remake with gamescope. Usually I don't use gamescope since it doesn't allow to launch other .exe(modding tool launcher, trainer and so on) within the same game session(unless I don't know the method).

RE4Remake so far has been the only game that has cause odd behaviors while having dual monitor setup. Gamescope fixes it perfectly. While I was playing everything worked fine steady FPS. Then the other day is just bad fps unless I press META+F to leave gamescope's fullscreen view. Then another day is fine, and now again it's bad.

What is the cause of this behavior of gamescope?

What is considered a reliable benchmark?

07. März 2025 - 22:15

I'm wanting to test out some various tweaks on my system and wondering what the go-to benchmark would be to see if they make any significant difference. What would be the general suggestion?

Going from Nvidia to AMD gpu

07. März 2025 - 21:31

On arch what packages do I need to make sure I change or get rid of to purge my system of nvidia. Or should I just format my partition and start over clean?

Bazzite Gaming Non Steam Games Help

07. März 2025 - 21:17

Hi everyone, I'll start by saying I'm new to Linux, never used it, I've been using it for a few days to see how it goes with gaming, so I installed bazzite. Unfortunately I can't run any non-steam games, like those from Epic, GoG/DRM free, or they don't boot, they boot and cause black screens, crashing shortly after. I tried changing versions of Proton, nothing. Help would be appreciated, Thanks.

Lutris or Steam? What are you default tinkering steps?

07. März 2025 - 21:07

Hey Everyone!
I've been experimenting with Linux gaming for a few months now, and I've been very pleased with it. I wanted to check with people who have been on it for longer for tips on how to get the best performance out of games and prevent crashes.

Do you launch your games out of lutris or steam?
Do you usually go wit GE-Proton, or try the default Proton version first?
Do you have any common tinkering trips you always run your games with?
What about gamescope? Do you run all games with it or not? Why?
What are the first tinkering steps you take when things might not be working as expected?

Thanks for the tips!

Can't install a game's dependencies

07. März 2025 - 20:57

I'm playing GTA V with a mod. I have a setup to share the game folder between arch and windows via dualbooting, game launches just fine on both without the mod. Game and mod both also work on windows however as soon as I enable the mod on Linux, the game crashes after entering story mode. These are the mod's dependencies:

-Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5

-Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2

-Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2013 (x64)

-Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 (x64)

is there no solution to Nvidia VRAM issues?

07. März 2025 - 20:10

im on arch linux running hyprland with nvidia gpu and the vram issue is unbearable.
Once the vram fills up, I can't open anything else that uses GPU vram like hardware accelerated firefox, or kitty terminal, or mpv / vlc, as they instantly crash.
The only solution to this is to disable hardware acceleration from firefox and use foot terminal ( doesn't use gpu ).
and to be clear, this is happening with DX12 games, im using latest proton, with gamemode and gamescope, and i tried a lot of different combinations and different apps, tried limiting how much vram the game uses but it seems to only be possible for DX11 games.
So I'm wondering if there's something to be done to allow the vram to use the ram like windows does, especially for DX12 games using vkd3d

I updated Mesa now many games are glitchy?

07. März 2025 - 20:01

Hi folks,

I was enjoying skyrim, decided to do a system update which included this MESA thing, the game loads still but it is all washed out and shadowy? Needles to say I've restarted, new save old save rebooted etc

I seem to be running wine and proton as well. Sorry I am not great with computers - the graphics card as well is a radeon 580 8gb and I'm using linuxmince

HDR Gaming is now possible without gamescope on KDE Plasma

07. März 2025 - 19:42

With the recent Plasma 6.3.2 update changelog here, and the update to Wine 10 adding Wayland support by default, I've reattempted to get HDR working directly on Wayland. It's probably possible to make it work with an earlier version of Plasma 6 with Wine 9, but haven't tried that.

Things needed:

  • wine on Wayland (not through XWayland)
  • Vulkan Wayland HDR WSI Layer

Since I'm on Arch I used vk-hdr-layer-kwin6-git.

Thankfully there's someone who compiled proton with Wine 10 and Wayland preference: https://github.com/Melechtna/Proton-with-Wayland

The only thing left was to boot up the game with the Wayland Proton version and ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 DXVK_HDR=1 %command% launch options.

Currently I've tested this setup with Overwatch 2, and it seems to work well there. I'll probably update this post with more games once I try them.

I have an AMD card, so if you're on Nvidia you might need the KWIN_DRM_ALLOW_NVIDIA_COLORSPACE=1 env var as described on https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE#HDR

EDIT: There are a few caveats I forgot to mention. The mouse cursor is prone to not staying in the window after alt-tabbing, you need to click the window to lock it in place, and then it's fine. And the mouse cursor stays where it's been put, so radial menus can get confusing if accessed quickly.

I was trying to run a game (Visual Novel), at first, it doesn't have any trouble, but when i reinstall the system it give me some logs. I try with Proton and Wine, but it gives me the same logs. I have a Intel UHD 630 and the Mesa driver installed.

Marvel Rivals says "DirectX 12 is not supported on your system" after installing new gpu and doing system-wide updates.

07. März 2025 - 17:23

So yesterday I bought the new 9070 card and immediately popped that bad boy into my system, booted it up, and tried to run Rivals since it is my main game right now. I wanted to see the performance difference between this card and my old one. However, it keeps hitting me with the following error:

"DirectX 12 is not supported on your system.

Please update your Windows 10 64-bit operating system (version 1909 or later) and your graphics card driver. Ensure that your graphics card meets the minimum requirements (NVIDIA GTX 1060 or AMD RX 580)."

I'm at a loss for what to do to fix this. Do I just have to wait for drivers for this card to drop?

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X

GPU: XFX RX 9070

RAM: 32gb

Kernel:6.13.5-200.fc41.x86_64 (64-bit)

Graphics: Wayland

Mesa: 25.0.0

OS: Fedora 41

If you need anymore info on my pc, please let me know. I want to play this game as soon as possible.

Linux vs Windows Benchmark Dune Awakening

07. März 2025 - 16:37

Linux loses an average of 30 FPS in this one and has more screen tearing. Overall, at 1080p Ultra, the FPS remains fully playable in both cases.

P.S. I expected a better overall image quality for something like Dune. Despite using Unreal Engine, the visuals and details could be better.
