So I recently made the switch to Linux mint as I don't like windows 11 on my acer nitro 5 and a few games run horrible on it assassin's creed oddesy and shadows and I've no idea why or how to fix. Any help is appreciated

Hi, i haven't seen any talk about it, but it seems the up until then experimental screen sharing for wayland that landed some months ago on canary has arrived on the regular client with the latest update? I don't see anyone talking about it, am i getting crazy?

Wasn't sure if to use the stwam deck or tech support flair as both apply.

As the title says, my Skyrim game version 1.6.1170 crashes when I press Tab on the virtual keyboard. I discovered this while trying to fix racemenu exiting when closing the virtual keyboard after opening it again to close the console. After further testing I discovered that the baae game itself, unmodded crashes upon clicking Tab. Furthermore this doesn't happen with 1.6.640. So I'm suspecting the Skyrim update changing the input window when naming the character or the anniversary upgrade are at fault.

What other limux related causes could cause this? If indeed the base game is broken for apparently me only, I do not know what I can do/try to fix this. Is this already a known issue? Are there already fixes for this?

Any suggestions? Perhaps anything to make the game think it is not on the Steam Deck and therefore possibly not cause these issues?

I managed to get Returnal running on my PC but I am encountering one slight issue.. the game runs flawlessly and the performance is identical to my windows install however there seems to be a problem with the “vision” cutscenes. In the game whenever Selene has flashbacks or a cutscene sequence it just shows a… idk what to call it but I can show it with the image attached.. so this happens whenever there is a “cinematic” type cutscene and once it’s over we go back to gameplay as usual. I don’t know what is happening but a fix or discussion would be nice… system specs:- R7 7800X3D + RTX 4070 Ti Super.. I have installed the latest proprietary NVIDIA drivers through terminal.. any help?

At the risk of enraging all of all our haters, I must unfortunately report that Genshin Impact 5.5 works fine.

• Launcher works fine
• Game launches into gameplay as usual

Desktop Linux, RX 9070, GE-Proton 9-26, running PikaOS.

1st off, I apologise if this has been asked and answered before, I have done a google search and searched reddit, but can't find an answer.

Basically I can get the game to run and it runs great, my issues are, I need to delete the .reg files overtime I try to boot either the 1st or miles game, otherwise my pc locks up.

Also I'm getting some texture issues in game, where they dint load in properly, instead of detailed faces I get shades or fully coloured in with one colour shapes. I'm able to play much more demanding games with no issues, but for some reason these 2 I have issues with.

Thanks in advance for any advice

Hello ya'll

I've been trying to figure out how to get my elite controller's paddles recognized on Steam. I'm currently on Fedora 41 with version 6.13.8 of the Kernel. I connect my controller through the xbox dongle and have the xone driver installed. I have also connected the controller with bluetooth and that works as well but in both cases, I don't see the back paddles in the steam input window.

On the Steam settings window I did see that the Controller tab has an option to enable Steam Input for the XBox controller. It's currently on but it was originally off and in both cases, the paddles weren't recognized either. I even rebooted in case that made a difference.

I've seen online that I also need a steam-devices pacakge installed which I do have, I've already checked that it's installed.

Not sure what I might be missing and I'd appreciate any help I can get :)

I know there a number of 5000 owners here, even some 5090 people. But seems it's been REAL quite about actual gaming on them. I know AMD is the preferred platform for Linux, and I know of all of the issues surrounding pricing a specific issue with 5090s, particularly the Founders Edition. But there's ton of discussion of them in the gen pop PC gaming world. However, the 9070/9070 XT apparently has been a huge hit for AMD, and there's a lot more discussion of those here it seems to me.

But I thought I would have heard something more on DLSS 4 and possibly MFG which kinda seems to be working on Linux? Just curious if the 5000s just have just no appeal to Linux folks because of pricing, availability, bugs, etc.

I've been gaming on Linux for a while now, and my distro (Nobara Linux 41) has the option to use the Steam Deck interface. When I play, I usually use a controller (the Gamesir Tarantula Pro) and so far, I absolutely love it.

The reason I'm making this post is that, ever since I got this controller, I feel like it's missing one key feature for PC gaming: a trackpad or touchpad. I've seen videos of Linux/Steam Deck users arguing that PS4 and PS5 controllers are the best mainly because of their trackpad. And while I love my Gamesir, I want to try a controller with that feature.

Do you know of any controller that has a trackpad/touchpad and similar features to the Gamesir Tarantula Pro (like Hall-effect triggers and joysticks, as well as clicky buttons)?

Or do you think I should just stick with the controller I have now?

I'm curious as to whether the Mron mod for warzone would work on a cracked version of Modern Warfare on Linux. It's just a hypothetical question is all.

At least with Lutris and Wine-GE 8.26 I could figure the current regression of dgvoodoo2 on Linux. After version 2.81 the New code is not working on Wine (or DXVK) since the GPU detection and wrapper selection fails to use dgvoodoo2, and the DirectX program crashes. For the sake of testing I use the Newest 2.85 version and unpack to the Lutris runtime folder, for which it detects correctly.

Prior to 2.81 version, dgvoodoo2 wrapper was correctly detected by Wine and DXVK as a renderer device, and this switch to use this virtual device to render DirectX code, and chain to DXVK and Vulkan to the system GPU.

After some code changes on dgvoodoo2, the detection phase fails or crashes if the game do not use a failsafe software mode.

This was quickly noticed using Carmageddon TDR 2000 (GOG), where the setup program detects dgvoodoo2 using 2.80 but fail on 2.81 onward.

Omikron (GOG) had this funny quirk. Starting with 2.85 with a clean prefix it crashes like Carmageddon with a wrong GPU config. Switching to the working 2.80, it runs fine and stores the dgvoodoo2 wrapper on game configuration files. Then, by switching Again to 2.85 it runs correctly! Basically, the game stored the dgvoodoo2 virtual GPU flags on game settings, and now could use dgvoodoo2 2.85 forward (but needed a old version for the first Run).

The swaping trick fails on Steam with normal Proton.

Also I just made this bug report on Lutris GitHub.

Giving this experiment, the regression should happens on GPU enumeration and detection, and Will give a Crash when dgvoodoo2 is not detected. If someone could make a rest or debug, it could be useful for DXVK, Wine and Lutris to provide a bug fix, since this type of errors could happens on modern games due to a faulty GPU probing.

Good evening, I come with a problem with Farlight 84, I just installed Windows 10 and download Steam to play this game, but it does not let me in, when I give it to play, it only gives a brief flicker

help please !!

I am linux noob

Previously I was able to download ~300 GB of games on that mounted drive(but I had performance issues in that games) and it had worked fine after I set it up with kde partition manager and changed mount point owner from root.

Now suddenly for some reason after I start downloading new even small steam game(I have ~300 GB of free space), I am getting disk write error on steam and my mounted drive becomes unavailable(I can't write or delete files even as administrator). I can fix this by rebooting my PC but I get same problem If I try to repeat anything(I also can't run gamed that are downloaded on that drive, but I am not sure if that's related as it seems it started earlier).

Any ideas?

To start, I’m an absolute dunce when it comes to running Linux. The most experience I have is a laptop I used to have that came to me with Ubuntu already installed. I recently purchased a used pre-built ASUS ROG G20 from a friend of mine. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the AMD GPU so I can’t run the steamdeck OS. When looking for windows alternatives that can support Nvidia I found Bazzite and it seemed like exactly what I was looking for. I really want nothing more than for this thing to run Steam and a browser of some kind. I’ve come to hate all of the Windows bloat so damn much and really need help on the install of Bazzite.

I digress, I flashed what I believe to be the correct form of bazzite to a thumb drive and am currently trying to boot from it. I can get to the screen pictured above. I have no idea if it’s currently trying to do something or if it needs an input of some kind. Or if I’ve forgotten/broken something entirely😂

All of my games have taken a bigger performance hit since I upgraded to kernel 6.14 (Pikaos 4) Ryzen 7 5700x3d , rtx 4070 , 32 gb ram Cs 2 dropped from 350-380 to barley holding 200fps GTA trilogy gta 3 couldn’t maintain 100fps to match my monitors refresh rate after update (3440x1440@100hz) I don’t want to downgrade back because since update the ultra Wides color has gotten much better not sure what happened but it looks more colorful. Anyone else having issues ?
