I'm running GTA V Legacy on an older system using Heroic Game Launcher, and it's working quite well at a lower resolution (1366x768). However, after a while—sometimes after more than 3 hours—the game either stops rendering textures before freezing, or it just freezes out of nowhere.

I initially thought it might be a VRAM issue, but the game consistently uses less than my GPU's available VRAM. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi guys, just switched to Linux (6.14.6 arch) and trying to set up Steam.

I was under the impression that from version 5.something of the kernel Pro Controller's drivers became native and pairing was gonna be automatic but apparently I'm having problems.

Trying to connect it via bluetooth it gets detected, I can pair it, for a second it even connects but it immediately disconnects. Of course Steam doesn't even see it. Even with USB Steam can't detect it. (Steam input rules are all there, bluez is up to date).

Is there something I should do that I don't know?

Hello. Previously I used Mumble on Win11 to talk to friends. On windows, Mumble automatically lowers system's volume when someone talks in voice chat. Does Discord on Linux can do the same?

Hi, I am trying to run Hell Let Loose on Arch Linux, then game launches fine but it is already quite slow compared to windows, then when I try to join a server it loads the map for ~5 minutes and I get the messsage "Lost connect to host". Does anyone else experience this as well or have any potential fixes? It is on a RTX 3060 and I have tried multiple Proton versions.

I can get as far as the screenshot attached here, and then the app freezes. I have to use xkill on it to close it. I played multiple hours two nights ago, and starting last night, for seemingly no reason, the game cannot successfully log in.

I have tried EVERY suggestion here: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/d4/t/game-always-freezes-on-logging-into-diablo-4-screen-tried-everything/206596/124

None of it made any difference.

I'm in Kubuntu 25.04 with an all-AMD system.

I have also tried:

• uninstalling/reinstall
• switching Wine/Proton versions
• Moving install locations
• Installing with both Lutris and Heroic
• Rebooting my computer
• Rebooting my router
• Rebooting my modem
• booting into Linux 6.11 instead of 6.14

Issue seems isolated to BattleNet. I can play other games on the system (Steam games), but I tried downloading Diablo Immortal through BattleNet, just for a sanity check, and that game crashes at login too. It's like BattleNet needs some kind of firewall exception or network connectivity that Proton isn't giving it. Yet, I can log into my account just fine, and I can download/install games from my library just fine. I don't get it.

Thinking of switching to linux but I'm loving doom tda and oblivion and was wondering if there was any way to have the xbox app on linux?

A cross-post from r/Lutris

Hello!

I know that this issue appears from time to time and there are various topics going back up to 7 years ago. However, I got it only after I've recently upgraded to Fedora 42 (although, I'm not sure if the system upgrade was the cause).

Basically, I can start Battle.net client through Lutris, and install WarCraft, but when I start it, I get a black scree after the loading screen (sound is present, though).

Has anyone encountered this issue recently? Have you been able to find a fix by any chance?

Here's what I've tried so far:

• Different runner versions. The issue persists with Wine 9.22, 10.4, 10.7-staging-tkg. Battle.net itself cannot start with some older versions of Wine; Proton 10.1 doesn't let me pass the loading screen, and Battle.net itself doesn't work with older versions of Proton.
• Toggle settings like ESync and FreeSync without success
• Tried to install it using Bottles with the same result.
• Tried to add flags to the game settings as suggested here and here. Neither of those options helps.
• Logs do not provide much useful information either

My system is Fedora Linux 42, Kernel: 6.14.6-300.fc42.x86_64, AMD GPU (I've checked that the drivers are up-to-date).

I would appreciate any help with this issue. Thanks a lot!

Hello, idk if this is the right subreddit, i will be happy to be redirected if not. thanks

I have a pc with GPU - rx570 8gb and i3 9100 f, 8 gigs of ram and i have the old ssd(the one with the lower reading speed)

For the time when i bought it was great - was running gta 5, cuberpunk, cs go, fortnite

With time got slower, and now when i play cs game freezes , cant even play marvel rivals, pc feels slows and slugish

So ive read that mega old poatoto laptops have been revived using linux

Can someone suggest a solution, with hope that my pc's former glory may be revived?

I booted up Rebirth recently on Windows and forgot how stuttery it was even after it generates shaders, it got me wondering does Linux fix the stutter issue like it does with FF7 Remake or do the stutters persist no matter what?

I downloaded CSS from steam, and at first after downloading, it showed me the play button and after i clicked it, it showed me it ways running, but it didn't open a new window or anything, it just showed running and then it automatically stops it. I have tried with steam play too but still the same issue. Doesn't show me any error or any syntax tho, that's the weird part. I use a AMD Radeon gpu, so I don't use nvidia and I know about nvideas support with linux. I use arch(btw), if that helps and if the problem is specific to arch

Been playing this game for a few months successfully using Proton 9. After the update a few days ago, it's just crashing. Anyone figured out how to run the newest version?

I've tried the latest Proton Experimental as well.

The launcher launches, but when I press play, the window gets created, and after a few seconds, it just crashes without any errors.

Is HDR possible with the AMDVLK driver? I've noticed a few games run better with it (doom the dark ages for example) but I can't seem to get HDR working. Gamescope doesn't seem to support HDR through AMDVLK, and neither does proton ge 10.1 when using the wayland renderer. (yes, I know doom has issues right now with wayland, I'm just using it as an example) Does anyone know if there is a way to make it work, or does AMDVLK not have HDR support atm?

Hoi, ive been using windows for a good while mostly for gaming and i have alot of power outages :( mountainous area moment. anyway im asking if linux is prone to data corruption and proton/wine. if not then yay if yes then nayy. also how is moonlight/sunshine streaming support on linux?

When I clicked show details it told me that the volume was offline and I need to bring it online. I’m very confused.

So I'm currently running a dual-boot setup with 2 1TB disks, one with Windows and another with Arch. Basically, every single one of my apps is either available on Arch, or there is a better alternative. However, I also game quite a bit, which is the only reason I have Windows. I have PC Game Pass, and Microsoft happily decided not to let Linux have the Xbox app. Is there any way I can use pc game Pass on Linux WITHOUT upgrading to Ultimate?

Also, Arch is smoother than Windows, even though I use the most unsupported setup. (Nvidia + Arch + Hyprland + UKI + Secure Boot)
