Hi all,

I'm trying to sort out a problem I'm experiencing playing World of Warcraft on my machine.

So about 2 weeks ago there was an update that went out for World of Warcraft (in the battle.net client) that broke playing for a bunch of linux users. The fix seems to be to update Wine versioning to Wine-Staging-Tkg 10.6+ or Proton 10 beta. I've tried both and they both do address the breakage from the patch but as a result of updating it now appears gaming performance has taken a huge hit. When I am in combat in game the game becomes extremely laggy & choppy, appearing as if it's dropped down to ~20 frames per second even though the game is still reporting to me ~140 fps. It makes the game nearly impossible to play.

I've tried playing the game through Lutris as well as CrossOver and the issue seems to occur for both options there. I honestly don't know what else I can try to do to fix this. I posted in Lutris forums & discord for help but unfortunately no dice. It feels like perhaps there is some pretty bad regression in Wine-Staging-Tkg 10.6 that could be fixed but I don't even know how to report a bug to the owners / maintainers of Wine to have such an issue fixed? I'm also able to confirm prior to the need to update to Wine-Staging-Tkg 10.6 I was playing WoW with plenty high FPS without this issue so I definitely know the machine I'm playing on is at minimum capable of performing significantly better than it is now.

Hardware / Software if relevant:

• Distro: Pop!_OS

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X

• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7600

• Memory: 32GB

I get these weird lines whenever I move anything on my desktop (bazzite Kde) Ryzen 7 5700x3d + rtx 4070

I really like KDE but that many icons makes it so cluttered, I tried dragging them to like group them with no luck, it occupies like such a huge portion of the task bar and I wish it behaved like Windows where if there's more than 3 icons it would group them together automatically.

Am I missing a crucial setting here?

Title basically. I need Battle Net to match the same scaling as Steam UI (200%) to make it easier to read. The task bar menu is tiny!

TIA!

I'm interested in setting up a dedicated Linux gaming rig but not sure where to start with distros. What do you all think is the best Linux distro for gaming? Are there certain ones that make it easier to install Steam, Proton, or manage GPU drivers? Also, how much of a difference does the distro actually make for performance and compatibility compared to Windows? Would appreciate any recommendations for both beginners and experienced users!

Tell me what tricks/hacks you need do to run games on Linux.

So I decided to start playing Elden Ring again, and when I alt-tab out of the game, I get an error message that says: "frame rate unsuitable for online play". From there, the game is forced to restart. This was never a problem a few months ago; I was able to alt-tab in and out of the game just fine.

This problem occurs on Proton 9, experimental and hotfix. I'm using arch Linux with an NVIDIA graphics card. Not sure if this is a Linux or Elden Ring problem. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem? Thank you.

Just wanted to quickly share an issue that I had and the solution I came to in case anyone else is having the same issue.

After a recent update to kwallet (6.14.0-1) Discord opens super slow or sometimes not at all (to a blank screen) on my Arch system with KDE. After starting Discord from the terminal to see what it was getting hung up on I noticed the calls to kwallet were taking a super long time to finish so Discord can start. After downgrading kwallet to the last version (6.13.0-1) Discord starts instantly just like it should.

So TLDR; If your Discord on KDE (not sure if its an Arch only issue) is starting to a blank screen and you recently did an update, try downgrading your kwallet package back to the previous version.

Been trying a few battle net games on arch. Cant make them work through lutris so I went with bottles which worked for war3 and Starcraft 1 using proton 10 no problem. Tried Starcraft 2 and it doesnt load because its missing the Ddraw.dll library. Went to dependencies and tried installing cnc-ddraw to see if it fixed it. It displayed error and didnt install so I run it through the console to see the problem and it said this

ERROR: Unexpected end of input stream 18:44:04 (ERROR) Something wrong happened during extraction. 18:44:04 (ERROR) Command \['/app/bin/7z', 'x', '-o/home/Esteban/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/temp/cnc-ddraw', '--', '/home/Esteban/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/temp/cnc-ddraw.zip']' returned non-zero exit status 2` 18:44:04 (ERROR) Traceback (most recent call last): `File "/app/share/bottles/bottles/backend/managers/dependency.py", line 443, in __step_archive_extract` patoolib.extract_archive( `File "/app/lib/python3.12/site-packages/patoolib/__init__.py", line 1057, in extract_archive` return _extract_archive( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ `File "/app/lib/python3.12/site-packages/patoolib/__init__.py", line 803, in _extract_archive` run_archive_cmdlist(cmdlist, verbosity=verbosity) `File "/app/lib/python3.12/site-packages/patoolib/__init__.py", line 736, in run_archive_cmdlist` return util.run_checked(cmdlist, verbosity=verbosity, **runkwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ `File "/app/lib/python3.12/site-packages/patoolib/util.py", line 109, in run_checked` raise PatoolError(msg) `patoolib.util.PatoolError: Command \`['/app/bin/7z', 'x', '-o/home/Esteban/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/temp/cnc-ddraw', '--', '/home/Esteban/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/temp/cnc-ddraw.zip']' returned non-zero exit status 2`

Bottles is installed through flatpak. Thanks in advance

Hi! Recently I wanted to play some more Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, which I own on Steam. However, the last time I played the game I was still running Windows 10 on my PC, and since EA added a new Anti-Cheat to the game, it's remained unplayable, at least online, on Linux for a long time. I was wondering if there was any way to potentially play the game maybe through streaming? I attempted to use Nvidia's Geforce NOW, but that only offers the game through the EA App, and not through Steam. Does anyone have any other methods I could check out?

Thanks in advance!

TL-DR: I have Eos with no DE (just Wayland and Hyprland) and I want to stream rpcs3 to steam deck using steam remote play. Does anyone know how to make this happen?

Specifications:

OS: Endeavour Os with no Desktop Environment

Windows Manager: Hyprland

CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12400

GPU: Radeon RX 6600/6600 XT/6600M

Drivers: vulkan-radeon + mesa + vulkan-mesa-layers.

I want to play RPCS3 on my pc using steam deck as controller. I also want to be able to keep playing on steam deck while going to other parts of the house. For this I have tried steam remote play and sunshine + moonlight were both failed. Steam remote play just features a black screen and steam deck input does not work. Moonlight keeps disconnecting instantly.

What have I tried:

- Running on X11 session: This works but I am tired of logging out and in to change between wayland and x11. I already have Hyprland really tailored to my liking so I would really avoid changing permanently to X11;

- Running through gamescope: I have followed hyprland suggestion [https://github.com/Zamundaaa/VK\\\_hdr\\\_layer\](https://github.com/Zamundaaa/VK\_hdr\_layer) \+ `DXVK_HDR=1 gamescope -f --hdr-enabled -- %command%` or `ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 DXVK_HDR=1 DISPLAY= %command%` with GE-Proton10;
- Running through sunshine and moonlight with MoonDeckBuddy and MoonDeckStream: Gets to stream and input works but then disconnects and input stops working on reconnection;
- Run Steam in Big Picture Mode: Opens game on another window and steam deck attaches to Big Picture Mode instead of Game;
- Run Steam inside gamescope: Game does not launch with -e flag and also presents a black screen without it. Input does not pass to game

Does anyone know how to make this work? I would like to avoid Moonlight if possible.

Hi everyone, I've been having trouble running Stalker CoP (not being able to run it at all) because as soon as I open the game, a message pops up saying that my video graphics card not meeting certain requirements. For reference, I'm on Linux Mint 22.1, running on a NVIDIA RTX 4060 and a AMD Ryzen 5500 so my setup is more than capable of running this game with no issue and I'm able to play the other Stalker games with no problem so it's a Stalker CoP problem.

Firstly I want to apologise if this is a commonly asked question and I read through the sub rules and the FAQ didn't have anything on my issue so here I am.

I recently had to switch back to Windows 11 cause I had some hardware and apps that run better on Windows (Work related stuff) but one issue I noticed I had was a noticeable frame rate drop.
I was playing Schedule 1 and I got a beefy enough Laptop to play it and it was running great on windows but switching to Linux had me below 30 frames.

Is this common or did I just cock something up I shouldn't have?

Any advice on this would be appreciated.

Hey, As the title suggests I have been trying to get microsofts spider solitaire fully functional under linux. (In my case it's fedora 42) The thing is the game under stock wine (i used the wine hq repo) works absolutely fine but it's UI elements are broken and it's header is missing required game options. https://winaero.com/download-windows-7-games-for-windows-11/ This is where i got it from if you are wondering .

Thanks in advance!

Many games only recognize Xbox or PlayStation controller inputs, making it impossible to play with generic or other brand controllers. On Windows, I used the x360ce program to emulate an Xbox controller and it solved all my problems.

On Linux, I've been using Steam and it works great after mapping all the buttons on my controller to the Steam input. But, if I don't want to depend on Steam for this, is there a program that works similar to x360ce? In old posts I saw people talking about sc-controller (but apparently it was discontinued) and antimicrox (which works well too, but it maps your joystick to keyboard inputs only).
