so i wanted to run wildgate which uses EAC on heroic (i would use lutris but i can't install the epic games store package for some reason it gives me error 256) and i run into "error #1 unexpected error" or something like that, my questions are: 1. how can i install EGS in lutris, 2. how to make EAC work?

I have been trying to use gamescope's --force-grab-cursor so I can play games like enter the gungeon or other games where I keep flinging my cursor to the other monitor accidentally.

Well basically after a while my fps drops from 180 to like 60-80 with alot of stutter, but it doesn't even feel that speed it feels even lower.

My launch commands:

gamemoderun gamescope --force-grab-cursor -f -W 1920 -H 1080 -w 1920 -h 1080 -r 180 -- %command%

I recently switched my gaming/streaming host PC from Windows to Ubuntu, and wanted to make sure I had a quick way of reproducing the configuration (like with any of my computers). Thought it would be worth sharing here in case anyone else is looking for a quick way to get started with gaming on Ubuntu now or in the future!

Hello everyone.

I recently installed PoE2 on Ubuntu after a hiatus. I had no problems playing for 72 hours in older versions, but now my game freezes and boots me out into the login screen after only a couple minutes of playing, even if I stand perfectly still. The graphs show a massive and incremental spike in network latency that goes from 11-100ms to 10000+ms in the span of seconds before the game freezes and I am booted out to login. I also notice many many microstrutters in the brief time I am able to play.

I tried many fixes (updating drivers, switching to Vulkan, Dx11, Dx12, clearing shader cache, disabling Steam overlay, switching gateway, changing Proton version, reinstalling, verifying files integrity, lowering graphics settings, uncapping fps...). As I side note, I noticed I am NOT able to turn off "Triple buffering" (I have no idea why).

I am gaming on a Ryzen 9600X (lightly undervolted, I don´t think it's a factor here) paired with a Radeon 9070XT; PoE2 is the only game giving me this problem, and it is currently unplayable. I searched on protonDB for the same problem on the same platform to no avail.

Can anyone help me? I had just reached mapping and I want to try it so bad.

I'm a long time Linux Mint user and I'm trying to figure out what packages I should install for best performance with Steam. I know I need playonlinux for Windows-only games. I searched `apt-cache` and got:

steam-devices

steam-installer

steam-libs

steam-libs-i386

Which ones do I need? Also do I need the package `i386`?

You probably are wondering why a i even considering that, i heard everywhere that AMD is supporting linux and nvidia sucks on it (but it was a while ago), how things are looking like right now?

I don't want to EVER purchase any AMD card again. It's just terrible experience, in linux most of the distros that are using newest kernels they just freeze after 50 seconds of usage (i have to use LTS kernel to make it work, but i can't use NTSYNC if i use LTS kernel, and my games performance overall in linux is worse) and this issue literally exists since 1.5 years, in windows the drivers are crazy dogshit, each driver update introuces a new crash for a different game and you have to downgrade to a last stable version that released 10 months ago, of course auto updates are fighting me from doing that, i disabled auto upadting in amd settings but of course the fucking winows update did the thing for me and made the game im playing right now unplayable again so i have to downgrade again. Also VR experience is terrible due to encoder bugs in the drivers.

So yeah, FUCK AMD.

Please tell me if nvidia is in a good state for linux right now or im gonna be stuck on windows when i buy it.

As suggested by the title, what’s the most effective method in January 2026 for playing fitgirl downloaded games on Linux? Old threads gave me all kinds of different advice.

Hi everyone,
I’m currently using Ubuntu Linux and I downloaded GTA 4 from streamrip.com.

After downloading, I extracted the files and tried to add the game to Lutris manually, but the game does not launch / does not work.

Things I’ve tried so far:

• Extracted the RAR files successfully
• Added the game as a non-Steam game in Lutris
• Selected the executable file manually

Still, nothing happens when I try to run it.

I’m new to Linux gaming, so I might be missing something.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

(I'm not here without information 😊)

Hey hey!

I'm worried about lag and games freezing at times due to the x86 to ARM translation layer. What do you think?

In the video I'm sharing, this developer compares the Quest 3 and the frame. He shows the FPS at different resolutions, with and without "adaptive FOV". Everything is very encouraging except for the end (10:30). Watch the very end of the video; as soon as the game issues a "directive", everything gets more complicated...

Sorry for the tech support thread. I figured this was the best place to ask as opposed to the r/Fallout76 subreddit. I will try my best to stay within the guidelines.

First I'll describe my issue:

The game launches and runs brilliantly at 144fps on lowest settings. After about 40-90 minutes of gameplay it crawls to a standstill at roughly 20-40fps. I used to think certain events occurred in-game that caused the fps tankage, but I'm now more confident that it just seems to happen after the 40 minutes. When I open any sort of menu, say like a weapon modification bench, my fps goes back to full. Once I restart the game it resets the cycle.

I am running Fallout76 through Steam running Proton 9.0-GE.
OS Fedora 43
GPU RTX 3070 Ti (8GB VRAM)
RAM 32GB
CPU AMD Ryrzen 5 3600x
Kernel Linux Kernel 6.17.12

Drivers 580.119.02

Running Gnome over Wayland (tried both borderless and fullscreen).

My launch options are set to:
DXVK_ASYNC=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 DRI_PRIME=1 DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti" gamescope -w 1920 -h 1080 -f --force-grab-cursor -r 144 -- %command%

Some things I've noted/tried:
* VRAM usage is actually pretty stable. Only ~3.5/8GB is used.
* RAM usage sits around ~5GB, CPU usage is 25%
* Various versions of Proton seem to all do the same thing. Experimental, 8, 9, Hotfix, etc.
* Optimization options online suggest editing Fallout76Prefs.ini, however I have no such file in my local installation.

* I've set "Presentinterval=0" (it's a common piece of advice) and it hasn't fixed it.

Just posting in case someone faces a similar issue in the future.

I spent two days debugging instant shutdowns on my PC (3090 FE, 7900X, 64GB RAM). The system would just die mid-game, completely reproducible. PSU clicks off, no kernel panic, no freeze, no logs. Just instant death.

I've had this issue for at least a year, maybe longer. Since I don't game that much and some games like Anno 1800 always worked fine, I never properly investigated. Naturally I assumed my 800W Enermax Max Tytan was damaged or couldn't handle 3090 transient spikes, so I ordered a 1200W be quiet Dark Power 14.

Strangely, Windows worked perfectly on the same hardware. (I still use dual boot for BF6 sometimes, but also tested Witcher 3.) So did Blender CUDA rendering on Linux at 600W for hours. Only Linux gaming killed it, both native and Proton. On X11 and Wayland. (Tried AwesomeWM and Hyprland)

Witcher 3 killed my PC once it loaded the game. Baldur's Gate 3 at a specific camera angle and position in Baldurs Gate city. GTA V usually when I changed graphics settings and unpaused.

I started limiting GPU power via nvidia-smi. 300W crashed. 200W crashed. At that point my whole system was pulling maybe 350W. An 800W PSU doesn't trip at 350W.

Set up remote logging to my NAS since local logs died with the system. Captured GPU stats, temps, kernel messages, journal, strace, bpftrace, ltrace. Nothing abnormal. System running fine, then just gone.

Then I swapped in a 400W PSU I had lying around. At 150W GPU limit it was stable. At 200W it died the same way. Both a 400W and 800W PSU failing identically was suspicious. Yes, 400W is underpowered, but I expected at least different behavior.

Switching from nvidia's open kernel module to the closed proprietary driver eventually fixed my issue.

Arch merged their packages so you get the open module by default, even if you install nvidia-dkms. I grabbed the .run installer from nvidia's site, installed proprietary, and the system has been rock solid at full power since. I eventually installed nvidia-beta-dkms via AUR.

I have no idea what the open driver does differently that causes this. If you search for "PC instantly dies in game" you'll mostly find recommendations to buy a new PSU. And nvidia-open is recommended by both Nvidia and the Arch wiki over closed proprietary.

So if you're facing a similar issue where your PC dies instantly mid-game, reproducibly, maybe try the proprietary driver before buying new hardware. I canceled my PSU order and consider writing a bug report once I am less annoyed of wasting my last two vacation days.

So I’ve tried connecting my controller, a DualSense ps5 controller, to my CachyOS pc to play games. It works just fine in Absolum, but when I try to use it with Resident Evil 4 Remake it won’t recognize it.

My Xbox controller won’t work either, but I also have to connect it via cable because it won’t connect via Bluetooth.

I’ve tried different proton versions and nothing. Different settings in steam input either.

I haven’t tried proton-ge cause I don’t know if it would actually have any fixes.

Any help is greatly appreciated this one hurdle is the biggest pain in my ass with Linux gaming and I am desperate for a fix lol.

It’s not like Steam doesn’t see the controller. It recognizes it and even opens the steam overlay in RE4, just RE4 doesn’t recognize it. It even says its compatibility is “unknown” in the info page.

Hope this helps, I’m willing to do statin can to assist if anyone is willing to help.

Update: I tried silent hill F and it will let me skip credits with a controller, but once it gets to the title screen it stops…

Update 2: I installed udev rules for both DualSense and Xbox controllers. After a reboot the DualSense is still wonky but my Xbox controller works. I’ll consider this solved, but I’d love to get to an underlying issue. If someone has any ideas or pointers where to start looking at the DualSense issue I’m all ears.

i have a second installation of elden ring that has been downgraded to an older version[as shown in this video] to check for compatibility with an outdated mod. the second installation is on the same drive as the main game. if possible, i would like to be able to launch either version from their respective executable, keeping the files completely independent of each other. the secondary installation is not located in the steamapps/common folder and as such there is currently no way of launching the older version without overwriting the files of the latest version with that of the former, and i would like to keep the files of the latest version untouched

i am using linux mint cinnamon kernel 6.14.0-37-generic
