Lossless scaling is on sale on Steam (not that it's expensive full price), so i'm looking into maybe using it for linux via lsfg-vk.

I'm not a big fan of frame generation, especially since my 75Hz monitor can't really take advantage of it and ends up looking and feeling really bad, but the upscaling feature of lossless scaling seems interesting, especially for games that don't have good upscaling options themselves.

Like, i can turn FSR 3.1 into FSR 4 now with proton, and my 9070 supports it out of the box anyway, so would there be any benefit to getting lossless scaling now if i don't intent to use frame generation?

The game runs better for me in proton experimental but all of a sudden it won't open when i use it so i wonder if anyone can use it themselves?

How are people listening to their games?

Growing up PC gamers would have 2.1 or 5.1 surround sound sets plugged in, the directional sound made all the difference in FPS games.

I was moving my computer realised and the current position isn't good for placing the 5 speakers from my Creative 5.1 system from 2012 and I was wondering how are people doing it?

Are people using soundbars? Has directionality been solved in headphones? I notice there are lots of "gaming" headphones but they seem a bit of a scam.

As you can see, the game is very washed out and a bit yellow. I have tried different proton versions, (hotfix, experimental, 10 beta, 9.27, ge 10.10), have tried turning off every option in the launcher, and have even switched from 570 open to 580 open gpu drivers. I genuinely have no idea what could be causing this because looking online I've not seen this issue happen to anyone else.

PS: I'm running mint 22.2 and an rtx 2060.

Hi,

I need to run an .exe file after game is loaded and running. Actually I was able doing that until recently. Game is Automobilista 2 and the other .exe is reading data from shared memory. Game itself supports this. I don't know what broke it but now after launching second .exe file, it gets running but the game itself freezes, not crashing, not logging but freezes. My .exe running command is:

STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH="/mnt/GVAULT/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/1066890" STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/mnt/GVAULT/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/1066890" WINEPREFIX=$PWD "/usr/share/steam/compatibilitytools.d/proton-ge-custom/proton" run /home/USERNAME/Downloads/CREST2-AMS2/CREST2.exe

I'm on arch linux with proton-ge-10.17

So I've seen this asked in the past, and I basically found some cool people to follow, but I was wondering if there's any recent streamers that use Linux to stream? Especially one's that either stream Linux specific-games, or podcast-focused ones?

I myself decided to switch to streaming on CachyOS from Windows and been learning along the way and mastering some tips and tricks, including using EasyEffects for audio sources and my mic.

Basically, just literally wondering if there's anyone else I should check out?

I recently switched to linux for good and for some reason, steam download speeds fluctuate like crazy as seen in the picture. I have a 500 mbps internet connection and when I download games on windows through steam the speed is rock solid at around 60 MB/s, however on linux the speed can go from 60-63 MB/s all the way to like 5 for really no reason. My CPU doesn't even come close to being the issue (as in the decompression of the download) so I really can't put my finger on what the issue is. If anyone has relevant info please let me know. (Sorry if my English is bad)

Hi everyone.

I recently switched from Windows 10 to Fedora 42 KDE Desktop and I have an issue with some Steam games that don't launch.

I installed Steam from the RPM Fusion repo, not from Flathub.

Some games work fine, like Undertale, Civilization V, Slipstream and apps like Aseprite or Godot Engine. But others (and I fear most of my game library) don't, like Rocket League, Lethal Company, TES III Morrowind, Balatro, etc...

They actually launch but then stop by themselves without any error or crash report, so I have absolutely no clue what's wrong.

I tried using Proton-GE instead of Proton, I checked if some dependencies (vulkan, gcc, libSomething, libWhatever, etc...) were missing and all packages are already installed and up to date.

By looking at the compatibility tab in Steam's settings it looks like some options are missing, like enabling/disabling Steam Play or choosing Steam Linux Runtime. But when I look at my storage, all 3 versions of Steam Linux Runtime are installed.

The most confusing is that I play some of these games on Steam Deck and they work fine, like Balatro or Trackmania.

I made a screen capture so you can see exactly the problem.

I hope you can help me.

Hi, thank you to all of the players who took part in the previous round of testing.

In order to launch a native Linux build of my game on launch, I need a few more Linux users with different devices to download the game and confirm the it's working well.

I would really appreciate any help and add you to my game's credits.

If you are interested send me a dm or an email to pitchforksanddaggers@gmail.com and I’ll send you the key.

This is my game's page on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2762740/Pitchforks_and_Daggers/

Thank you!

In case anybody is still interested in (re)playing this little gem, Journey, I could not find info on this issue myself:

If you launch the game and rumble works, then good for you. If vibration stops working or never worked then keep reading; I found that as soon as you enter the controller config menu and change/save anything, rumble will stop working. This does not happen in MS Windows from my tests, and weirdly enough, although they share the same config file (Journey.cfg), seems like the rumble issue doesnt get triggered if you only change graphic settings.

Rumble fix: open the Journey.cfg file where the game config is stored (if you dont know where this file is located, check the game's PCGW link above), change Rumble="false" to Rumble="true", restart the game, pretty easy right? Well it took me several days to figure this out, I hope it saved you time!

Have a nice... journey.

Hey Linux gamers,

I’ve been working on a project Cyber Siege – a top-down shooter inspired by classics like The Chaos Engine. You can play it solo or in local co-op with up to 4 players, each controlling a combat mech.

The game runs natively on Linux.

We’ve just released the trailer, and there’s also a free playable demo available right now! We’ll also be part of Steam Next Fest soon. Any wishlist or feedback would mean the world.

Thanks a lot!

Estou querendo fazer uma migração de sistema, pois não aguento mais o win, não dá pra att pro win11, não aceita drivers, cheguei a testar o fedora silverblue por recomendação de um grande amigo, mas o fedora me apresentava um problema, em zonas de muitos players dava lag, tempo de resposta das ações do personagem atrasava, o que me obrigava a jogar solo a maior parte das vezes, voltei pro win só pra ter a ctz que era problema de configuração, dito isso, tem como a gente arrumar? tem outra variação do fedora que seja melhor que o silverblue? tipo o kinoite ou um dos atomics?

I have been wanting more and more to switch to Linux as having malware uh sorry windows installed is seeming less and less like the smart thing to do in the age of more and more digital surveillance I have seen that gaming is pretty well supported on Linux with some minor but fixable issues here and there but my biggest question is what about brand new games for example can I play bf6 on release?
