Steam not recognizing my secondary hard drive

15 Nov 2025 - 10:13am

I'm on arch and would like to install my games on a secondary HDD. I've done this before but this time it is not recognizing my HDD, I mounted it to my /home/user/Games directory in my fstab. Upon checking, it is mounted correctly to that directory but when I try to add the path to steam for some reason it does not get added.

My HDD fstype is ext4 that usually worked previously so I don't think that should be the issue.

I installed zorin on a ~2015 macbook pro (Intel iris graphics) and it works beautifully but trying to launch assetto corsa with proton (tried from 5-10 to experimental) does not work. I tried age of empires and that works just fine. Any help would be appreciated.

I have downloaded the Thrustmaster drivers and am using oversteer and the only thing the game recognizes is my paddle shifters. Works fine with Dirt Rally 2.0 but not with WRC Generations

Got Anthem working

15 Nov 2025 - 7:26am

Please don’t hurt me or downvote too hard. My morbid curiosity using faugus got the best of me so I tried installing Anthem it works. No Putzing with extra command line or anything, just plug and pray.

Running CachyOS.

Play CS Source without Proton can make your PC Overheat?

15 Nov 2025 - 6:12am

So, i played CS Source in NTFS partition for year, and played it without any proton at all. It was fine untill something happened. So, somehow i played CS Source in community servers and my screen turned into blank white screen after the server want to change the map. The problem only solved with hard reset and power supply reset. so i want to know what was happening, tried to move the game into Ext4, and the problem showed up. When you play the "NTFS version" of the game, idk how, but the CPU will reach into 72° C even if you set all graphic settings into LOW. I assume Linux is confuse when convert the program code runs on the machine.

Download size CS Source without proton : 3.2 GB

Download size CS Source with proton : 2.5 GB

Can small program of windows with size 1mb, consume high CPU on linux just because it supposed to not run in the Linux environment?

Can Anyone Install Dark Souls Remastered Mods on Linux?

15 Nov 2025 - 5:58am

I'm trying to play Dark Souls Remastered on Arch Linux. I'm using Proton 9.

I'm trying to install a texture/graphics overhaul mod, which requires me to simply drag and drop the mod files into my game's installation directory. After copying over the files, the game does not launch. When I remove the files, the game launches just fine.

Has anyone had any success with installing graphics mods for this game? Thanks.

I made a CLI launcher for managing multiple GZDoom instances on Linux

15 Nov 2025 - 5:56am

I saw a lack of variety in instanced Doom launchers on Linux, as most are developed with only Windows in mind.

So I thought I'd make things easier by making the Sulphur core library, which provides instance management and a new package format to easily share Doom instances - which is really just a fancily named zip file with the instance's files and metadata.
It also is kind of opinionated, as all instances of all launchers using the library are saved in the same Sulphur folder, so if you switch from different front-ends you still end up with the same instances (and hopefully also same settings).

Based on my Sulphur core library, i then decided to make an implementation myself to see how easy/hard it was to work with my own library, and I can say I was pretty satisfied with the result, which is Sulphur CLI.

Both are functional, but still pretty work in progress. I'd be happy to hear your thoughts on this project!

Bazzite or CachyOS to prepare for Steam Machine (PC)

15 Nov 2025 - 4:04am

Hey all, I know the never ending flood of "which distro should I use" questions are annoying. But I have a very specific use case. I've decided the Steam Machine is going to me my official divorce from Microsoft. I have a spare drive that I'd like to install Linux onto to get ahead of the learning curve. I've narrowed it down to the two that look pretty similar to SteamOS, but I wanted some input before pulling the trigger.

I should note: I'm not afraid to learn. That's the whole point of this endeavor. I also understand there are fundamental differences between the two. Bazzite is immutable, like SteamOS, but based on Fedora rather than arch. CachyOS is Arch at its core, which means fixes and tweaks should carry over to SteamOS when it ships with the Steam Machine.

I'm simply seeking any extra input/recommendarions on which would prepare me more for "the full experience". Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

One steam game stopped opening

15 Nov 2025 - 3:52am

Up until today Arc Raiders on CachyOS worked fine. While downloading an update it would say "disk drive error" and stuff about a "download error" then eventually after reinstalling the game multiple times it was able to download the game it just doesn't launch when I press play. I've tried a bunch of different proton versions and verified integrity and such. I'm new to linux as of like a week ago so I don't know how many hundreds of thousands of troubleshooting steps there could be to figure out the exact issue. I just hope the problem rings a bell to someone who can help
