With Microsoft steping away from uwp, how far are we from running gamepass on linux with new games that doesn't use uwp?

The only way to run games is to `export VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json` then launch steam through the terminal.
What is weird is that on Plasma 6 I have absolutely no issues.

When I run CS:GO, it says it fails to execute vulkan.

Is it a known issue?

I do not see why plasma 6 works well but nothing works on Gnome 49.. :/

Thank!

Been daily driving linux for the past two years, had some problems here and there but they were all resolvable or at least explainable in some way. On this one however, i'm completely lost.

Diabotical works fine on wayland (sway/hyprland), but on x11 (i3/dwm) there's one particular issue that i don't even know how to debug. Whenever i'm getting hit by shaft, the game jerks for a moment. As far as i can tell, it doesn't happen in any other situation, though it's only noticeable because of the high firerate of the shaft. The attached video was recorded at 120fps and slowed down to 25%, first clip is x11, second one is wayland. The jittering isn't just visible on the recording, it's what i also see on my screen. My FPS is also stable, my frametime graph could not be any flatter. And ignore my horrible tracking skills.

Given that Diabotical is the only game that behaves this way i started by adjusting its settings. exclusive fullscreen/borderless fullscreen/flip fullscreen, multithreaded input on/off, video_true_fullscreen 0/1. It's all the same.

Proton-cachyos, proton-ge, ntsync on/off, also all the same.

How can it be that a display protocol causes a problem in a specific situation in a specific game? i would understand if the game would jerk/jitter for the majority of the time or even randomly, but just when i get hit by shaft? only on x11? how?

Arch linux with cachyos repos

Tearing and scanout enabled for the wayland compositors

Explanation as to why i'm still using Xorg: It just works for me.

I know it sounds dumb, but this is the only problem Xorg ever caused me. Hyprland 0.51 broke tearing/scanout (can't have both enabled at the same time), sway enables and disables direct scanout every frame of a screenshare stream, resulting in horrible stutters.

I'll happily provide other necessary information.

Posting this for posterity because this troubled me for weeks.

tl;dr check that you don't have zoom in the accessibility settings turned on.

I've been getting back into gaming after a year hiatus and I've been experiencing crashes in Cyberpunk 2077. Despite my machine being fairly strong for CP2077, i5-13600K 5ghz, 4070TI, 64gb ram, I thought that maybe it was a VRAM issue as the 4070TI only has 12gb. I had some ultra HQ textures, LOD and whatnot so through a lot of troubleshooting I worked down to a vanilla install with graphics, resolution, everything at the lowest quality which I know should work with my system as I had beat the game before with HQ graphics setting and nothing had really changed other than game patches, but it was still crashing, reliably triggered during the montage scene right after you meet Jackie, but even skipping it would crash the game at some point soon after.

I don't know what made me think of it, but I remembered had turned on zoom in accessibility settings, at 1:1 scaling so it doesn't change anything visually but it is a workaround in Gnome/Wayland to get my mouse would show up in screencasts as I do a lot of them for demo'ing features and tutorials for work. I turned it off, et voilà, crashing disappeared, I've been working on layering back in my mods and so far no crashes.

when playing hell let loose, if i sit on the server browser for long especially when in a queue the game will crash, as well as crash the kde desktop along with it.

Desktop restarts but any apps that are installed and ran from a flatpack instead of a rpm file are crashed along with it. If I have discord actively open and not closed to the task bar, I have to relogin to discord as well.

Along with these bizarre effect from the crash, it also crashes the power management services. The services don't restart when kde restarts, and requires me to restart my pc to fix the issue.

I play borderless 1920x1080

Everything in ultra except for textures.

RTX 4060 with Ryzen 7 and more than enough memory. How do i fix it?

I tried playing borderlands 2 with heroic (having the egs version) I used winetricks to install physx but it doesn't work. But since I did it I have a leak in video memory and the game crash around 2h of playtime. I thought physx was supported on Linux and with the recently open source and deprecation of 32bit support of new gpu i thought it had worked that went into it

I recently purchased The Witcher 2 on sale on GOG to explore gaming outside of steam. The linux version on the game launches without sound and terrible performance, I thought I could be slick and run the windows version through the steam client forcing proton, but it won't even load the launcher. Regular wine opens the launcher but the game gets stuck trying to launch.

Any advice on making either version work?

Hi, this is just a post for anyone who want to run starfield on linux, fedora more specifically.

It works fine with fedora 42/ nvidia driver
