Games freezing when using proton on bazzite.

16 Nov 2025 - 11:03pm

I can't play games using proton, I can't seem to get any games working on bazzite using proton. I can play some games though wine 10.16 staging-amd64-wow64-x86_64 but nothing through proton i reinstalled all my games and tried running them again but they just freeze after some time and some don't start at all.

specs:

intel core i5 12400f

intel arc A750

32GB 3200Mhz DDR4

MSI PRO H610M-E DDR4

bazzite (stable)

here's the log for my last attempt at launching ghost of tsushima: these are only the errors, they repeat a lot and when i tried to copy the entire log over i got a reddit server error.

ERROR: ld.so: object '/run/host/usr/lib/extest/libextest.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored. 1803.965:0148:014c:err:kerberos:kerberos_LsaApInitializePackage no Kerberos support, expect problems 1803.966:0148:014c:err:ntlm:ntlm_LsaApInitializePackage no NTLM support, expect problems 1850.575:0148:01fc:err:vkd3d-proton:vkd3d_wait_for_gpu_timeline_semaphore: Failed to wait for Vulkan timeline semaphore, vr -4. submitted by /u/gunpler_1

Steam doesn't display while updating?

16 Nov 2025 - 10:25pm

So, This is odd and I'm wanting to know if it's just me.

But while steam is updating there is no UI to say this, it just does it's thing in the background and then pops up like the Spanish inquisition when it's done.

Running Fedora 43 with KDE.

G920 Driving Force steering whell not picked up by oversteer

16 Nov 2025 - 9:25pm

It mentions being a supported model in the built in kernal. But it's not picking it up. I installed by the AUR and it's a X box steering wheel but works on PC otherwise. I am using the zen kernal if that affects anything.

Monster Hunter Wilds has a strange shading bug on Nvidia

16 Nov 2025 - 9:23pm

Hi, I'm in the middle of making the switch to Linux from Win11! In the process I thought I'd test MHWilds on Linux (running Kubuntu 25.10). I have been noticing a peculiar graphical artefact that I haven't seen many people specifically report on. First screenshot running on Win11 (looking fine), second screenshot running on Kubuntu where bodies of water or oil look unshaded. No launch options I've tried have fixed it so far, so its kindof got me stumped. Does anyone have any ideas?

Running on Nvidia driver 580.95.05
Launch options:/WineDetectionEnabled:False ; PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 gamemoderun %command%

Releasing my first free game on Steam with native Linux support! :)

16 Nov 2025 - 9:10pm

It's a puzzle game that's about an hour long but I think it has a really nice and unique story. Thanks for everyone who's interested! :)

Locked at 1080p in fullscreen

16 Nov 2025 - 9:06pm

I've recently installed ArchLinux on my system and when I play Rocket League in fullscreen, the resolution cannot go higher than 1920x1080p in the dropdown (although my monitor) is 2560x1440p. If I select borderless, then I can choose 2560x1440p, however I would like to not have to do that considering it adds input lag.

I use Sway and I made sure that my monitor's resolution is 2560x1440p in the config file.

Here's my specs if it helps :

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
64GB DDR5 ram
Radeon 7900XTX

Are there options for VR desktops / window management with SteamVR?

16 Nov 2025 - 8:50pm

I used to use apps like Bigscreen VR to see my desktop and position windows and such in virtual space when I ran Windows and a HTC Vive Pro VR headset. Does such an app exist for Linux?

My hunch is no due to the nightmare of competing DEs and window managers and things but I would love to be proved wrong

Bazzite or CachyOS?

16 Nov 2025 - 8:00pm

I would like to turn a SFF PC I have to a “steam machine” and I am trying to decide what version of Linux to put on it. I have zero experience with Linux so would like something easy to setup and use. The PC is a HP Engage Flex Pro, i7-8700, 32GB DDR4, RTX 3050 with a 4TB NVMe and 1TB HDD. It currently has Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC but from what I have been hearing online, Linux should give me slightly better performance with a more seamless gaming experience when coupled with SteamOS. I also have a Steam Deck that I use docked, so I would love to mimic the Steam Deck experience as much as possible.

No audio on WiVRn on Bazzite

16 Nov 2025 - 7:48pm

Video and VR work fine, but there's no sound. The PC is basically a headless Sunshine host and when I enter a moonlight session I can hear the audio. What can I do?

Precisely synchronous stuttering after exactly 20-22 seconds.

16 Nov 2025 - 6:36pm

https://reddit.com/link/1oyrt33/video/bf4s18xhnn1g1/player

When I'm launching witcher 3, after loading into the game, every time, exactly after around 20-22 seconds, the frametime goes crazy and it starts stuttering really bad (look at the frametime graph, but in the end you can see to the naked eye this massive stuttering when I move the camera).

When I launch it with gamescope, it doesn't do that stutter.

Why is it happening?

GPU: RX9060XT 16GB

Modern alternative to MSI afterburner

16 Nov 2025 - 6:04pm

Hi there,

Title, I am fortunate to have a 5090. The thing is that it has a particular affinity with setting itself on fire.
So I wanted to undervolt it at 860mV for W reduction following those results https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1isi8ir/rtx_5090_fe_undervolt_results/

Do you have any advice ?
Thanks for the answers
