Cyberpunk 2077 mod help: The Cyber Engine Tweaks mod has this .asi error (I'm on Bazzite)

23 Dec 2025 - 3:16pm

I'm just using the CET mod as my starting mod, yet I'm still having problems. I manually dropped the bin folder in my game directory. I also toggled on Proton 9.0-4 in my Steam properties tab so my game could actually launch. I also currently have WINEDLLOVERRIDES=“winmm,version=n,b” %command% in my launch. Yet I'm currently seeing this error that reads "unable to load cyber engine tweaks.asi. Error 998".

I use Linux, with the distro being Bazzite (an offshoot of Fedora).

For those who had this issue before, how do I address it?

23 Dec 2025 - 2:53pm

Hi everyone,

im having an issue with Minecraft on Fedora 43 Workstation and im hoping someone here has encountered it and know how to fix it.

Whenever i try to join any server like Pvphub, Donut SMP and more, i get:

You were kicked: Timed out Kicked for exceeding packet rate limit.

I also tried to disable all optimization mods but the problem keeps happening.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Leaving aside the benchmark results that show better average and minimum fps in favor of Bpfland over LAVD, has anyone who uses/used LAVD noticed any improvements in terms of latency?

Install Windows version of a game even if native Linux is available

23 Dec 2025 - 2:02pm

Hey, I'm trying to play Cities Skylines (the first one) on my Debian PC. A Linux native version of the game is available, but I need the Windows version for full compatibility with some mods and easier access to the DLCs.

Is there a way to do that ?

Maximum price you'd pay for a BC-250

23 Dec 2025 - 1:26pm

Hello,

I'm searching for the cheapest option to build a living room gaming PC with Bazzite/Steam OS and like some of you here I found out about the AMD BC-250. The thing is, it was very cheap 1 or 2 months ago but now that some known youtubers talked about it the price is now at least x2. As of now, the cheapest I can buy would be 130€ (so approx $150), and I'm debating if it's worth it.

On one hand it's painful to know that it was like 70€ 2 months ago but on the other hand, even at 130 I can't find anything close in terms of performance AND size. That said it has quite a lot of small downsides like idle power, ssd speed, GDDR6, no GPU video decode/encode that combined makes it questionable.

So the question is, what would be the maximum price you'd pay for a BC-250?

CS2 on nvidia 590.48.01 on X11

23 Dec 2025 - 11:34am

I'm running CachyOS and after the most recent nvidia driver update, CS2 freezes when I alt-tab during the game.
This did not happen on the previous 580 driver; strangely the game response while holding alt-tab, but then freezes the moment I let go of the key.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Nvidia RTX 2060
KDE Plasma 6.5 (X11)

UFL running but heavy lag in matches via Lutris (worked fine on Steam)

23 Dec 2025 - 11:19am

Hey everyone,

I'm having some performance issues with UFL and hoping someone here might have experience with this.

I managed to get the game installed through Lutris and it launches fine, but once I'm actually in a match, I'm getting really bad lag. The weird thing is, when I tested it back in the summer through Steam, everything ran smoothly without any issues.

Does anyone here play UFL on Linux?

I'm wondering if it's a runner compatibility issue or if there's some specific configuration I need to tweak in Lutris that Steam was handling automatically.

Any help would be appreciated!

Vr ?

23 Dec 2025 - 10:42am

Sorry if this has been posted recently.

How is VR performance on Linux nowadays?

I'm on Bazzite (which works great for 99% of games in my library) but my last attempt to get VR working ended poorly (couldn't launch SteamVR). I use a Q3 and play games like HLA, Beat saber, Underdogs.

I use Virtual desktop on Windows whenever I want to play VR and it's currently the only thing keeping me from wiping my Windows drive and using Bazzite exclusively.

Anyone else had luck with this?
