Need help getting TLoU2 to work with HDR and Optiscaler

11. Februar 2026 - 18:39

Hello

I've searched all over the place for a fix to my problem but haven't found anything useful.

I'm trying to get Optiscaler and HDR to work on TLoU2.

I've enabled Optiscaler and HDR through Goverlay.

I'm using CachyOS and KDE Plasma.

Goverlay 1.7.4

6.18.9-2-cachyos

Need game recommendations to test/debug my setup

11. Februar 2026 - 18:01

I'm planning to try my Linux - which I usually use for dev work - for some gaming. I probably need to install and configure things first, so I'm looking for games which I can use for testing/debugging. It needs to run well given my hardware/software parameters, so that I can be 100% sure that if something is broken, the issue is on my end - and not the game behaving poorly.

So, if you have all of the following:

  • Nvidia 5080 or a 5000 series GPU
  • A multi-monitor configuration with main gaming monitor being VRR
  • Arch Linux
  • Hyprland
  • nvidia-dkms drivers

Please recommend games that work well on your system! Ideally with features like GSync and DLSS 4.5 (models K/L/M) working. Hopefully something among the recommendations will be something that I own. Thanks!

trouble with fonts in a game i'm running on bottles

11. Februar 2026 - 17:44

It seems to be the wrong font, and I have no idea where to start searching for the correct font. I'm honestly happy I got this version of the game running at all, but since the text reaches the edge of the screen because of the wrong font, it can make the game unplayable at points. I did manage to get an older fan made linux running just fine (though the controller support was bugged, so i had to use steams instead).

ASSASSIN CREED ODDESSY !!

11. Februar 2026 - 16:44

If you’ve already managed to get Assassin’s Creed Odyssey running on Linux (especially Arch + NVIDIA), can you share your exact working setup?

Which Wine/Proton version are you using? Any specific tweaks or launch settings required?

Mine launches but nothing shows up. Looking for a confirmed working configuration.

System:

  • Arch Linux (Omarchy-based)
  • NVIDIA RTX 3050 Mobile (Driver 580.126.09)
  • Hybrid GPU (Intel + NVIDIA PRIME)
  • Vulkan working (nvidia-smi and vulkaninfo detect RTX correctly)

Mint online gaming

11. Februar 2026 - 14:05

Hi everybody!

I have recently switched to linux mint (xfce) on my laptop and I wanted to play some games with my long distance gf, which used a mac pc.

I have tried parsec to run some local games together but the compatibility is terrible, so I have ditched the idea.

I have heard some good things about proton+steam, but I also heard that it doesn't really work for online games, so I feel kinda stuck.

We do not really even need really fancy games, like any platform or puzzle game would probably work, so I am open to any suggestion.

Thanks everybody in advance for the help, and I apologize if it seems like a dumb question.

11. Februar 2026 - 13:38

Hello, i would like recommendations for gaming distros that doesn't have too much bloatware. And has a good balance between developing work and daily use. I was using arch but I'm tired of fixing the system all weekend after a pacman -Syu.

Any recommendations are appreciated!

Are we entering an era where anyone can build a game?

11. Februar 2026 - 13:16

Not long ago, making a video game required serious technical expertise. Now we’re seeing tools designed specifically for accessibility platforms where you just describe your idea and AI handles the heavy lifting. OneTap build is one example positioning itself around that simplicity: no coding, no engine setup, just prompt → playable world.

If this trend continues, the definition of “game creator” might expand dramatically.

But I’m curious does easier creation lead to more innovation…

or just more noise?

Would love to hear how others see this evolving.

Problems with steamvr

11. Februar 2026 - 13:02

So, supposedly steamvr now works natively with Linux thanks to the steamvr beta, at least in theory it does, because I tried every possible workaround and it doesn't work. Some research has suggested me to use the freeworld drivers, whatever that means. So I try to install them with rpm fusion, which I think was already enabled, but I run the commands again just to be sure, and when I need to actually install the drivers with an ostree command, it tells me that the system wasn't booted through libostree, so they are not supported.

Does anyone have some sort of definitive fix for this? Using Fedora 43 KDE

Lag spike, overheat on *EVERY* games

11. Februar 2026 - 11:47

Few months ago, I posted this. Please checked it out for more details, I haven't figure out the problem from that, I even tried using auto-cpufreq as someone suggested on that post but it seem to do ... nothing? I gave up and just leave the gaming scene. However, recently I really want to play a game on Steam that I give it a try again. But this keep happen.

I realize that my laptop was overheated during the gaming process and that make no sense, eventho my laptop is not gaming laptop, not power or anything (ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9) but the game I'm playing is relatively light (Balatro, Overcooked! 2, etc). These kind of game I should be able to play just fine, cuz I was on Windows and these game never lag (or rarely) and never be the main cause for my laptop overheated.

I need some suggestion what should I tried, or even switch to CachyOS ? Is it worth it?

My *new/current* setup:

  • Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 - i5-1145G7 - 32Gb RAM
  • Arch Linux (NiriWM)
  • Steam installed via Arch's repo
  • Proton-GE (tried Wine expr, Wine 9.0, etc. Have the same problem)
