I have steam on Linux mint with cinnamon and set it up so it opens at launch in big picture mode

The problem is that of course the DE first needs to load, then steams launches, this is not a big deal but it gives me a few seconds of waiting for steam to open. that again, not a big deal but would be cool if there is a way to open steam while the DE boots on the background

If not I don't want to go into the ordeal of installing a completely new system

I have all of my Ubisoft games on steam, and whenever I would run a game, it would basically do nothing. No black screen, no error messages, It would stay on the steam page for about 30 seconds and crash. I have tried installing Ubisoft connect through multiple Lutris Versions, and Bottles but no luck. This has also happened to me on Linux Mint.

Somehow in my first few games, the game runs fine on 80+ fps and then suddenly when in hero select, fps drop to 10-15 fps for the rest of the following games. 1080 GTX, Intel i5 14gen, up to date nvidia drivers and I tried multiple settings but nothing seems to work. I am at a loss. Did anyone else experience the same? GPU temp apparently 45 degrees during fps drops, cpu is fine aswell, no memory issues.

Hey everyone! Nordhold has officially launched and is fully supported on Linux! The game is off to a great start with 97% positive reviews.

It’s a mix of tower defense, economy management, and roguelite mechanics. Build your settlement, manage resources, and defend against relentless waves of enemies. Every run is a new challenge!

Give it a try – we think you’ll like it!

So, you're using the Original Trilogy with the definitive edition project mod pack applied over, maybe you have your own mods instead. Do you have Invisible cars in GTA III? some mods just not working in GTA Vice City or San Andreas? well you've come to the right place. What you need is a DLL override.

This works for any machine running the game on Linux through Proton (including the Steam Deck!) You must put this command in the properties once added as a non steam game. It is mandatory for some mods to work. I figured dinput8 and d3d8 may both be needed as overrides. This is a non-issue on Windows because windows utilizes the DLL files from the game's folder by default.

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="bass,vorbisFile,vorbisHooked,d3d8,dinput8=n,b"

This should get the .asi mods working and this is not specific to the project modpack, this is necessary for probably any mods that use .asi. You can also add other arguments, this is what I use. I also highly recommend Proton GE, you can install it with "ProtonUp" from the AUR or flatpak iirc.

gamemoderun mangohud WINEDLLOVERRIDES="bass,vorbisFile,vorbisHooked,d3d8,dinput8=n,b" PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_USE_D9VK=1 DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 %command%

Gamemoderun is a set of temporary optimisations that gets applied on game start (but I use it so my pc doesn't go to sleep) and Mangohud is an FPS monitoring software you can use to check temps, load etc. You usually have to install these separately (Steam Deck has Mangohud built in).

That's it. Enjoy! Originally posted on Disqus elsewhere, I thought it'd be useful to be posted here. let me know if there's anything I should edit, I'm not perfect but I hope this helps many people.

My game runs fine but then after 2 or 3 games the FPS drops to 30-40. Does anyone know that the issue is and a fix?

Hello la communauté,

Je suis développeur solo, et après plus d’un an de travail acharné, j’ai créé un panel de gestion de serveurs de jeux complètement automatisé, compatible Linux et Windows (via Wine).

Je cherche aujourd’hui des retours de vrais gamers, surtout ceux qui connaissent bien Linux, Counter-Strike, TF2, etc.
Pas pour vendre quoi que ce soit, mais pour avoir des avis francs : ce qui va, ce qui manque, ce qui peut être amélioré.

Déjà je vous présente le projet. GSH est un panel de gestion de serveurs de jeux pensé autant pour les joueurs que les GSP ou les multi-gamings.
C’est full autonome : pas besoin de taper une seule ligne de commande.

Site officiel : https://gameserver-hub.com
🛠️ Fonctions principales :

• Installation automatique des jeux
• Support des jeux Linux et Windows (via Wine)
• Démarrage / arrêt / suppression de serveurs
• Gestion des ports, slots, RCON, etc.
• FTP dédié par serveur
• IA de surveillance des logs en temps réel
• Configuration des serveurs ultra simplifiée
• Multi-langue (FR, EN, DE)
• Système de plugins et mods à installer depuis le panel

Voici une démonstration disponible ici : https://alpha.esport-cms.net
Login : admin
mdp : admin

Rendez-vous sur : Configuration du CMS > Gestion des modules > GameServerHub

Un dédié de test est en place, vous pouvez tester sans crainte et me faire vos retours. Je prends toutes les remarques, même les critiques dures. L’objectif, c’est de l’améliorer encore.

Merci d’avance à ceux qui prendront 5 min 🙏

So I run a dual PC setup, I run Garuda KDE Dragonized on my gaming PC and Windows on my Stream PC. I absolutely love it, my only issue is that I use a secondary drive for my game library and I have to re-add it every time I restart my PC. The Drive is mapped and formated in Garuda, but Steam can't remember where it is.

Also pretty soon I'll be getting a tablet and using Krita for graphic design.

I'm debating if I should switch to catchyOS or Bazzite. Not now, but when I build my next PC. I'm also a huge fan of water-cooling. (Open to setting up something custom in Manjaro).

I'm having an issue with Steam installed via Flatpak on Drauger OS (an Ubuntu-based distro). Whenever I try to install or update a game, I get a "Disk Write Error."

I've already tried:

• Reinstalling Steam

• Checking my SSD partition (it's formatted as ext4)

• Verifying write permissions on the SSD (everyone has read and write access)

Despite these attempts, the issue persists. Has anyone experienced a similar problem or knows how to fix it? Could this be related to Flatpak, or is there another configuration I should check?

Howdy! I've been out of the Linux scene for about a year or so- Thinking about wiping my old Linux drive and starting fresh with a primarily Linux dual-boot. I have a couple of questions out of interest before I hop back in.

Has there been any interesting news or advancements in the last year or so?

Have distros changed much re: performance and latency (And I know this question has been done to death)? I remember people said KDE had less latency a couple of years ago. I also saw people at the time saying it was too minor to matter; for those who care about such minutiae, have there been any advancements?

Any interesting or niche things?

Thanks!

I saw that script hook V was released a few days ago for the GTA V enhanced edition. Has anyone gotten it working on linux? I've tried setting a dll override for dinput8 both in winecfg and as a launch option but that doesn't change anything. The game just loads normally without mods.

I'm on fedora 41 and I used proton hotfix to run the game.

Here are the launch options:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b;socialclub=n,b;version=n,b;" %command% -nobattleye -noBE

I got a new 5090 to replace a 3090 on my PC running PopOS. After installation everything looks great but no audio: simply no audio device to choose from (except a "dummy output"). Audiojack works as normal. I reinstalled the whole system, problem persists. I installed a new EndeavourOS, same problem: no audio output device. I updated nvidia driver to 570 in both cases.

Does this sound like a hardware problem? I plan to try it on Windows see if it works.

I wanted to change to linux as because i am now using pirated unactivated windows so i want to start using linux because its free, but whats the simplest but good for gaming linux distro?, if theres multiple choices pls explain the difference in simple words,im not experienced

Since GTA Online does not work on linux anymore, can I just delete the Online part of the game to save some storage that I can use for other games?

I have tried the following to delete the "dlc content" which is for online, however in my case it broke the single player (I got stuck in a mission where we would be planning to rob a small bank from a gas station or something like that): https://steamcommunity.com/app/271590/discussions/0/3463849349657905246/#c3463849349658001403

I am not sure if I deleted something I was not suppose to. Can some one let me know if there is a clear way to reduce the game size?
