I am playing FFXIII on Steam using the proton-ge-custom and everything is running fine, except that abilities and other light sources are causing massive flares, sometimes taking up the entire screen during combat

I'm on Garuda Linux with a GeForce GTX 1650 Super

I have tried tweaking AA in the starting screen, all my Nvidia packages are up to date.

I am at a loss, so any help would be appreciated.

I bought a mini PC GMKtec K11 to play Steam games. I installed Steam via Flatpak because I could not get the native install to work after following the Debian wiki. I installed Sunshine flatpak from Github. I following the Sunshine Flatpak local installation from the Sunshine wiki.

I was able to remote-in via Moonlight (Flatpak). However, when I launch a game like Assasin Creed or Counter Strike 2, it shows the intro for a few seconds then it stopped. In CS2, I was stuck in the orange screen showing the Counter Strike 2. In Assasin Creed, the screen is black with blinking cursor.

With SUnshine, since the screen is stuck, I could not exit. The only option that I have is to reboot the GMKtec K11 host. When I launched the game locally, the game crashed and got a pop up Steam window saying "Vulkan encountered unrecoverable error VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST."

I am not sure what is going on at this point.

I'm using arch and after a system upgrade Steam (runtime) does not work by clicking the task manager icon. Curiously when I right click the icon and start it with a selection it launches correctly. I.e. right click steam icon -> click store, library etc it will launch correctly. After this upgrade it broke my autostart because of the error stated in the screenshot. It wouldn't be much of an issue except I mainly use my desktop for gaming so I would like Steam to launch on my system start.

I used nouveau on its own a few years back and it was borderline unusable. But apparently theres been more work put in and NVK/Zink potentially makes gaming possible. My question then is, are they stable enough to use daily? and what performance hit will i see?

Recently added a Sliger CX4200a case to my rack, containing a 9950x3d and 9070xt. Running it with 64 gigs of RAM @ 6000Mhz, and all NVME because the Nova motherboards have 5 slots! I'm leveraging AUR to pull in the latest mesa git drivers for the 9070xt and it's been mostly a positive experience. Some games require a restart initially but once things work, they work. Ironically as much as I've loved the idea of immutable distributions like NixOS or Bazzite, I found myself spending more time fighting the OS getting basic tooling to work (getting a Rust compiler and LSP happy with Neovim was a nightmare on NixOS) thus forcing me to fall back on containers compared to when I go back to the sweet embrace of Arch or Endeavor. Then, I can BTRFS my way out of any issues that pop up, or just version control things in a way where I'm not as stressed.

I run fiber optic DP2.1 to my display, and powered USB to support peripherals.

This rack (32U Sysrack) supports a Proxmox cluster that hosts my location sharing (Traccar), calendar and contacts, cost splitting app (Spliit), phone backup, reverse proxy, Jellyfin, and more. My firewall and router is managed through OPNSense, with a managed switch routing VLANS to my different services. I really love my power supply with current meter- it's at 2A for rack idle, and 5A-6A when playing AAA games. I also swapped the rack fans (jet engines) with Noctua, hooked up to the temperature-based fan controller with 4 temperature deadbands. Currently tuning these, but 75F is my comfortable sweet spot.

Hi, 10 years deep in-to Linux, Unable to figure this out. On the Cinnamon desktop environment, Full-screening a lot of programs will cause it to happen on the left display which is not the primary display. In the case of valve games, it changes the graphics mode down to the resolution the game is set to even though the primary display is already at that resolution :shrug:

Cinnamon is the only desktop environment I've tried that does this. LXDE & XFCE do not do this. (I've had this issue with my previous computer as-well). If it matters, This is using AMDGPU. Any thoughts / speculation / hate comments etc etc would be appreciated.

While I was uploading this, Firefox did it as-well. which almost never happens. woo hoo(link is external)

So I've been using Mint (Cinnamon desktop, OS and all software running up-to-date) for a few months now and never once have I been able to ADS in Helldivers 2. I've updated the game and verified files since install, but I'm not sure what could cause this. Any ideas on what might keep me from being able to ADS? (I've left it bound to default: right click/hold). I have tried changing in-game keybinds around with no success (i.e. different button to aim or switching from hold to tap)

So, I've always thought about jumping from windows to Linux for security and efficiency but I always left it apart because of gaming, gaming here has always been not only hard but unfriendly and not that beneficial, until now.

I would like to hear some people that used it on pc share their opinions on steamOS before doing the jump, is there anything relevant I should know before? I play league, honkai, Minecraft and a bunch of other games, I name these games specifically because they're not steam related.

So weird thing happens, only when I load DoD: Source. Ill open the game with steam on my primary monitor, but when I open DoD:S it shuts off my primary monitor, which goes black, moves everything to my second monitor and boots the game on there. Sometimes it doesn't boot and crashes. Anyone else have this happen to any other game or have a fix? I'm running linux mint 22.1, NVIDIA 1050ti, NVIDIA proprietary drivers.

Hello bois! Basically what the title says.

While playing games or running multiple applications sometimes I can hear a weird crackling/static noise that most of the times can only be heard by me, sooometimes OBS can capture it (specially when I'm gaming and I alt tab while streaming) but most of the time it's just me,

I used Linux Mint cinnamon since version 20, updated as the releases came out, maybe it's a pipewire issue? Linux mint had pulseaudio and now pipewire

Worth mentioning, I have a Ryzen 5 CPU (ryzen 5 4500) And a 1660 GTX normal version from EVGA
16 GB of RAM DDR4

This happens specially while playing Risk of Rain 2 or alt tabbing when I'm opening a lot of programs at the same time

I wish I could bring you some evidence but no matter what when I record it with every screen recorder I have, I did got some footage recorded with my phone, but it's not the same issue (that seems to be a new issue on itself btw, no audio at all while playing lol)

Any ideas I will be glad! I really like the simplicity of Linux Mint and I know EndeavourOS offers cinnamon with arch but I don't like using the terminal even to install one minuscule thing, I really like my graphical UIs so I hope I don't have to change distro, was about to give Bazzite a go but it's KDE and I'm not yet prepared for it lol

Any ideas bois?

Thank you!

I installed ModOrganizer to run with proton on Steam. But for several reasons I want to be able to run it without Steam. Running script as below works fine, but the program is low res. This usually happens when it's using XWayland instead of Wayland. When running the program through Steam I do get correct resolution. Are the some environment variables I have to set for proton? If anyone have had similar problem, appreciate any help on this.

#!/bin/bash PROTON_DIR="$HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 9.0 (Beta)" MO2_PATH="$HOME/mod-organizer-2-skyrimspecialedition/modorganizer2/ModOrganizer.exe" export STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="$HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830" export STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH="$HOME/.steam/steam" "$PROTON_DIR/proton" run "$MO2_PATH"

I'm using Proton 9. Arch Linux.

I've tried so many distributions, a few mesa versions etc. Any game that has to process Vulkan shaders using the RADV vulkan drivers locks up my system. It doesn't matter what distribution it is or if it's X11 or Wayland etc.. You know what does work? AMDVLK! RADV works just fine on games that don't need to process shaders or process them ahead of time. It happens even on emulators that have to process vulkan shaders.

I'm beginning to think it has something to do with my specific GPU. I know it's been out for a little over a year. I have no idea and ready to give up and go back to Windows. I've wasted so much time trying so many distributions.

I'm trying to set CAS sharpness for New Vegas in Heoric:

1. I have installed vkbasalt via apt

2. I have added a vkBasalt.conf file in /etc/:

effects = cas

toggleKey = Home

enableOnLaunch = True

casSharpness = 0.4

1. I have added a ENABLE_VKBASALT = 1 environment variable to Heroic

When I run New Vegas and tap the Home key, I don't see any difference.
