So I'm one month in for trying to fix this single issue. Only Dark Souls III does this, non of my other Fromsoft games or other games does it. After playing 10-20 minutes or teleporting between bonfires, the game start this micro stuttering. I tried every single thing in the book, here is what i tried so far:

Every single possible launch command, like:

LD_PRELOAD="" %command%

gamemoderun DXVK_ASYNC=1 DXVK_STATE_CACHE=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_USE_SECCOMP=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%

gamemoderun RADV_PERFTEST=nosam RADV_DEBUG=nobinning,zerovram,nocache %command% -ignorepipelinecache -cpuLoadRebalancing -USEALLAVAILABLECORES

combinations between those, nothing solved it.

Tried every single steam proton version and proton-ge version between proton-ge 8 and 10 combined with launch commands, nothing

Tried turning off mangohud or disable vsync with mangohud, nothing.

Tried enabling steam pre-cache shaders, nothing

Replace my gaming SSD with a brand new, nothing

Tried different distros like Mint (Xorg) with XFCE without compositor, or CachyOS (Wayland), Bazzite, nothing

Tried making dxvk.conf file in the game root folder with commands, nothing

Tried different kernels like Liquorix, nothing

Tried turning off steam overlay, nothing

Tried DS3DebugFPS mod, nothing

Tried other stutter fix mods, nothing

Every single combination from above, nothing

I have 2,8k hour in this game, i know every single "stutter point" in the game, like before the Dragonslayer Armour boss fight, when you leave the castle from the stone gate, the game loads the area, and you get a little stutter, i don't talk about those Fromsoft game specific stutters. I know Fromsoft games has stutters, but not like these.

Last thing what i did, i tried the game on Win 10, and it was running buttery smooth for hours, no micro stuttering after 10-20 minutes of game play, that's why i know this is a Linux specific issue.

I have ungodly amount of hours in this game, played on Linux back in the day, i know it runs perfectly fine. I taken a long break from the game, now this issue is there, it was not like this in the past. What can i do to run this game like back then? I feel so tired from fixing this issue in my free time, one month spent on nothing, please help.

My config:

RX 5600 XT 6GB

Ryzen 3 4100

2X16GB RAM

1920x1080 60Hz monitor

Hello everyone, I recently installed Ubuntu on my laptop (specs: Intel Core i7, RTX 4050M), and I've noticed a significant drop in performance. For example, in Red Dead Redemption 2, l used to get a stable 80 FPS on high settings, but now the game is unplayable (around 5 FPS). I'm also experiencing major FPS drops in less demanding games. l've installed the latest drivers for my graphics card and tried running games through Proton's compatibility mode, but nothing has helped. What could be the issue? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I use Debian and want to stick with software I can download from the native software manager. I personally prefer .deb packages over flatpak, so PCSXR is available as a .deb there but Duckstation isn't (Flatpak only). Duckstation seems to be the more accurate emulator and I prefer accuracy. Do anyone have experience with PCSXR?

So here's the issue. I've had terrible experience with Fedora 42, I just needed a fresh OS that is going to come with preinstalled apps and not hinder my singleplayer gaming experience with boring wine dependencies and other obscure things I wasn't really familiar with.

I am a huge witcher1 fan. I've invested about 800hours into that game and proton experimental or older versions on steam dont seem to work at all. I've tried downloading redistributable packages via steam because that's what was recommended by a proton db guide but the packages are abscent from the steam client, i cannot find them at all.

Another thing that bugs me are drivers for my bloody mouse which comes with .exe drivers for tactile button tweaks and led tweaks. Essentially I get to tinker with the response time and other metrics.

And third, when I installed language packages and set up the keyboard input settings, (even tho english is computers primary option) some games like manking divided instead of using english text just displays a random letter combination on cyrillic. I tried looking for a solution and it seems that the problem lied in missing windows font package. So then I tried using the kernel to install random gibberish i needed, but it didnt work. When you hover over a gun to grab instead of displaying [press E to pick up] it says something nonsensical of serbian cyrillic.

If i het those three things sorted out by some other fedora based distro like nobara or something(i heard nobara is great for this) then I wont look back...

Tried configuring xone with arch linux for couch gaming, but it just wouldnt work. Is there another arch based distro or otherwise that supports this dongle out of the box? P.S i prefer arch based because i looove hyprland

Nope, that's not a picture. The devs of Winboat have made a tutorial on how you can get single GPU acceleration. It took me a little bit but I love how I can just press one key and windows loads and I can use the professional apps that require GPU acceleration. Right now the performance is like 25% which is better than nothing. In my opinion it's way better than messing with scripts and having black screens most of the time for single GPU passthrough. I hope one day it's possible to play games like this.

My system:

• Nvidia RTX 3060-Ti
• AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
• 16Gb RAM DDR4 3200MHz
• MAG B550M BAZOOKA
• Arch Linux 6.17.5-arch1-1
• Hyprland 0.51.1
• Proprietary nvidia drivers 580.95.05

• Steam with Proton 9.0-4

  So when I just upgraded to the recent nvidia drivers I started experiencing system freezes that force me to force restart my machine which isn't very nice because sometimes I also need to discharge residual power because the VGA light turns on sometimes when I force restart, it happened to me sometimes in older drivers which I do not remember but only with one game (Deep Rock Galactic) but now it happened to me with multiple games, either I get a freeze while the game is starting or when the game opens and runs for a few seconds to minutes, whole system freeze with sound still playing for a few seconds, can't even switch to tty. I checked journalctl -b -1 and I found this:

Oct 26 15:52:42 desktop kernel: NVRM: GPU at PCI:0000:2b:00: GPU-564c2946-3a72-9529-b293-f3362c35caed

I think these are the most relevant errors and I still have the logs of that boot saved in case, I tried the same games in Windows and they work just fine, are there any specific drivers I need for my GPU to work flawlessly? I've read around that nvidia-dkms 566.36 are good but I can't find them in the archive

Looking for a good and modern racing game that falls between sim-racing (assetto is too sim for me) and Forza horizon 5 (I don't like free roam but looking for a circuit racer)

I bought Forza Motorsport but found out it's not running on Ubuntu because of Microsoft account service login

Can someone help me make, or maybe already has one, an autoclicker. I'm using Bazzite, KDE, I use an autoclicker for most of the games I play, poe for example. I switched to Linux like 2 days ago, before on Windows I could just use Steelseries gg and make a little macro so that when I hold down a side mouse button it would left click rapidly until I let go.

I tried using ChatGPT to write me something usable, but nothing it spits out works. POE launch is on friday and I cannot imagine playing without it. Thanks in advance

Hi, as the title says, some Windows native games take a long time to launch on my desktop PC, some of them even 2-3 minutes.

As a reference I've taken my Rog Ally with Steams OS installed, where every game starts within a reasonable amount of time, and Helldivers 2 which is the worst offender.

Here you can see how long it takes to launch on the Rog https://send.vis.ee/download/2344c7d5eff83f1a/#fD50-SrUOy-ifO44sNHtbg

And here how loooong it takes on the desktop (I'm a dumbass and forgot to press "Record", this is why the timer starts at 1:46 minutes) https://send.vis.ee/download/3216b72296a416e2/#i61LZs775rPR6hqm4uF23g

I've been playing around with an old computer running Linux so I can transfer my main PC to the system (I use Zorin, if that matters). So far, I haven't had any major problems, but I haven't been able to get RPGMaker games that aren't on Steam or Itch to work.

I downloaded Ib to try Lutris. I used the option to install a local game, and the RPGMaker file had no problems, but the game wouldn't open. So I replaced the executable file with the game file, and... it just exploded. I got a message saying “implementation error,” and 215 windows opened with the problem.

What can I do?

I am posting here in the linux gaming, because it seems a bit less intimidating than the regular linux forum.

I am a fairly competent computer user, I have been using Windows and MacOS for 20 years. Now my fairly decent workstation will not upgrade to windows 11, I don't want to switch out the motherboard and I don't love windows (I don't hate it either) so I want to try to install Linux on that computer.

I do some gaming on it, mainly with my Steam library, but -more importantly- I need to be able to keep working on my computer. I am an artist and I mainly work with Blender, Davinci Resolve, Reaper and Brave Browser or Firefox for anything online.

I am fairly competent, I know my way around windows and MacOS and sometimes help other people figure out problems with their computers...HOWEVER... My very limited experience with Linux has been a painful one. I installed it on my mom's old computer many years ago and while I realize that there is a learning curve to everything...Having to troubleshoot every aspect of the computer, wifi, sound, etc. tried my patience.

SO I HUMBLY ASK THIS COMMUNITY.

Where should I begin as a person that just wants to work on their computer, update their programs occasionally, update their graphics driver, work with midi devices etc. I am a person that has no interest in tinkering with the OS.

What will be the least painful experience for me?

Is there a distro or project that will not make me flip the table and buy a new windows computer?

Perhaps important info:

- I have an nvidia graphics card
- I usually use an external sound card (Audient or Zoom usually),
- I need to be able to import/export a variety of video codecs

IS THERE HOPE FOR A NOOB?

I play games that have "farming" where I don't need to interact with the game for a period of time. If I switch away, the games seems to slow down considerably. Sounds play at normal speed but are spaced farther out and switching back to the game shows that it has been running much more slowly than it does when focused.

I thought this might be an issue of the process getting re-niced when in the background but top shows NI 0. This behavior did not occur on Windows last time I booted that. Some of the games are on their own Linux launchers, others are in steam but all seem affected.

I have Wayland/KDE and I'm starting to think it might be something Wayland does. Does anyone else know about this issue and what can be done to correct it. Googling isn't turning up anything relevant.

Hi. I've moved to Linux Mint for half a year now and so far I've had a great experience. However, there are some games I miss that can't be played on Linux because of anti-cheat.

I was planning to do dual-booting with a new drive, but since I'm on a laptop (please don't bully me) I can't add any new internal drives. So I wanted to ask, is using a external drive would be a good idea? Could it be insecure or have bad performance?

Hello guys, i´ve been trying to get my settup going on Linux Mint and Linux Fedora, but i always get stuck in the same spot, blackscreen or the OS doesnt load (crashes and needs to be reebooted from the case), tried using amdgpu.dc 0 and nomodeset to check on the possible causes, and came to the next conclusion,
(loading the gpu kernel seems to crash the system the amdgpu.dc in specific)
not loading the graphical drivers lets the pc run.

Other users reported similar problems with this GPU reporting the amdgpu version or the linux kernel version may be having conflicts. (i´ve already tried backrolling to linux kernel 6.8.x and 6.7.x and 6.6.x , no results)
As no other options on forums helped to fix the problem i decided to switch back to w10 in the mean time.
And to top it off, it seems like it seems that i need to upgrade my whole system just to use linux (thing that i thought was not a need when using any linux distro, but the forums keep telling me it might be some kind of kernel problem with older gpus like mine)
This is the info of my system if you´d like to check on that.

Mobo TUF B450M-PLUS GAMING
Mobo ver. Rev X.0x
CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
GPU Radeon RX580 2048SP

Secure boot and the other options in my mobo are ticked off, and just now used revision tool to debloat w10 in case some weird thing in windows was messing with the linux partition, i have not tried installing linux again after using the revision tool.
