Halo: Combat Evolved low FPS when in fight

27 Mar 2025 - 2:49pm

I am running Halo Custom Edition with Wine 9.22 and DXVK 1.10. It works great but has severe slowdowns when there is too much happening on screen. I tried disabling particles and decals but it still tanks. This is low-end device (2GHz quad core, graphics Tegra X1, 4GB of RAM) but it still should run better. There are newer games that run better and I read that Halo has some ineffective particle rendering. I tried to search in wine forums but it seems to be fixed for others while I have still this issue some claim to be fixed. Game has chimera.ini but I do not know how to disable double buffering and if it even helps. What worked for you or what can you recommend to me?

Thanks a lot in advance

Any way to use Flydigi space station WITHOUT VM's?

27 Mar 2025 - 1:52pm

I have download the oficial "Flydigi space station" from their site to configure my direwolf 2, but.. the controller does vibrate when the software starts, but the software itself doesn't recognize the controller as connected. I already tried using other windows versions on my wine prefix, AND using it via USB, but no game still.

Is there any other way than using Virtual Machines for this?

Running older titles

27 Mar 2025 - 11:29am

Hey everyone.

I've got CachyOS installed on my PC but have run into issues with trying to get some older titles to launch via Steam.

I have Proton compatibility on and so on, and can run more modern games, but anything that's older (I'm talking older than 2010), I just can't seem to get them to launch or if they do launch, it's unplayable.

I'm guessing I have to use an older version of Proton to get them to run properly or is there something else I need to do?

Thanks in advance

Games Crashing Directly to GNOME Login Screen

27 Mar 2025 - 9:57am

I've been experiencing a lot of game crashes lately. In games like Palworld and Monster Hunter Wilds, after playing for a while, my screen goes black, logs me out of all sessions, and brings me back to the GNOME login screen. Additionally, in games like Hearthstone, the game simply crashes after some time.

I've been theorizing about the possible causes: whether it's an issue with my Linux distro (Nobara) or my GPU (AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT). I can provide more details if needed, but I wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing the same problem.

6.13.7-200.nobara.fc41.x86_64

OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT (radeonsi, navi22, LLVM 19.1.7, DRM 3.61, 6.13.7-200.nobara.fc41.x86_64)

CP77 Nvidia drivers don't seem to be detected with nvidia-offload

27 Mar 2025 - 7:16am

https://preview.redd.it/cyilnbmwb6re1.png?width=1663&format=png&auto=webp&s=62e2fb2f8db9d98ad9e8a0eed39708c4cba8dd1b

[Mostly? Solved] I am running CP77 through Heroic (gotten from GOG), with nvidia-offload wrapper command (tried with the environment variables as well, didn't work).

It used to run fine when I was using sync, but I wanted to increase the power efficiency on my laptop, so this is why I am using offload.

I am on NixOS.

Any suggestions on what could be the issue? Drivers are definitely installed, btw, here is what nvidia-smi returns:

Also, as you can see, my nvidia gpu is most definitely used, so it's not that the nvidia-offload command is ignored or something.

Edit: Ok, I did some more testing and it turns out my dGPU is being used even when I removed the wrapper wtf. Any idea anyone? I thought offload meant it's not used unless you explicitly request it to be used.

Edit2: Figured out why nvidia driver wasn't showing up. Forgor to tick the DXVK-NVAPI checkbox. That makes the driver show up as well as the nvidia graphics settings like dlss and latency stuff. I still have no clue why my dGPU is being used even when I remove nvidia-offload wrapper / env variables / use dedicated gpu option. Sorry if I wasted anyones time since I figured it out by myself anyway though, but if someone knows why my dGPU is used without an explicit request lmk, I am kinda curious.

How to run games in native Wayland with proton/wine?

27 Mar 2025 - 5:44am

I'm curious to try it, but i'm not sure how this works.

I know games run in XWayland now. But does the game need to support Wayland to run in wayland mode? Or it's not how it works?

Can i try any game in native wayland? If so how, and if not, why not? What's the deciding factor?

I found this link, is this stull relevant? Is this how you do it?
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1dpmd38/how_to_run_steam_games_on_native_wayland/

I'm not expecting anything out of the experience, i know it'll probably be worse, i'm just curious to try it. See where it's at. :)

Has anyone tried Proton/WINE in native Wayland on 4K monitor?

27 Mar 2025 - 4:15am

I can successfully launch the game in native Wayland with custom Proton, but one thing always bothers me.

The scale of KDE Plasma on my 4K monitor is 200%, although the game is in full screen mode, it still scales itself to 200%, thus I can only see 1/4 of the image.

Is there anyone who has the same problem?

Trying to install my new NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 5070

27 Mar 2025 - 1:56am

Would anyone be able to help me get my new 5070 installed? Forgive me if I am not an complete Linux expert. Somethings I still need to learn.

Currently my OS does not detect my card other than as a standard generic graphics card.

Tried updating my drivers to 570 to no avail. Previous attempts to do so only caused my older card to stop working so I might have inadvertently caused some files to be left behind in my attempts to uninstall and reinstall it before hand.

I also saw this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/1iwfd7y/5080_drivers/ and had attempted to install those drivers but got these results in the console.

Games freezes in the foreground, continues when in the background

27 Mar 2025 - 1:47am

Howdy - I have a couple of games (specifically BG3 and Diablo 4) that have this issue.

(BG3 runs through steam and i use lutris for D4). I generally use Proton Hotfix or Proton Experimental but I've tried other variations.

The situation is: I'll start the game, play for a bit and then input stops working in the game. The game is running but frozen. If i alt-tab away from the game, the game will start running again. alt-tab back into the game and it freezes.

So for example when this happens i can hit escape then alt-tab (wait a sec) alt-tab back and the escape menu will show up. I can then click on the item i want. alt-tab away (wait) alt-tab back and that click will register.

I can play D4 pretty consistently, but BG3 lasts about 5 minutes before this happens.

Anyone run into this? Most games I play don't have the issue just those 2 so far.

Running: An Dell XPS15 with PopOS 22.04 & nvidia RTX 4060 (Laptop)

Thanks
