Has anyone tried playing GOG's Breath of Fire IV using Heroic? How well does it work?

22 Dec 2025 - 1:41pm

I used to be a Lutris only type of fellow, but sadly it seems the project has been abandoned; or paused for right now.

To that end, with GOG's winter sale, Breath of Fire IV looks interesting (I'm in the mood for a JRPG). I'm just wondering how well it will work in Linux via Heroic.

Does anyone have any experience?

Thanks

Radeon driver question

22 Dec 2025 - 1:05pm

Pls forgive the noob question.
Ive just installed Bazzite, and using a Radeon 7900XT.

Do I need to install the proprietary drivers for the GFX card as well? or is it all contained in the OS already?

Thanks

Currently using Nobara but I'm thinking of switching to Cachy and I got some questions about it

22 Dec 2025 - 1:02pm

Hello, I'm a new linux user and currently using Nobara. It's a great distro, but I'm kinda thinking of switching, the reason being because Nobara is using their own custom modified packages, it limits the app and package installations to use their own installer to be compatible and it made me scared to install some stuff outside them. This goes the same for support where I can only ask their community if I have some problem with the system.

I have some questions for CachyOS, is it also the same case for that distro where if you need support you can only ask Cachy community or can I also ask Arch community? Can I install app and packages without needing to worry about compatibility? Also Nobara has a driver manager app where it's really easy to install, update and change driver, is it the same with Cachy?

Discord RPC for all steam games

22 Dec 2025 - 12:37pm

I made a Discord Rich Presence script for Mac/Linux that supports all steam games. It also supports modding, so, for example, with my Undertale mod I can display my location, name and LoVE in my profile. Also you can change the static game name, icon and description (which by default is a list of developers)

Game developers aren't switching to Linux, at least professionally

22 Dec 2025 - 11:53am

So I found a post in here and there's 2 big reasons and one smaller

  1. Porting to consoles requires Windows, no way around it
  2. Proton is fine enough
  3. Windows has tools like Visual Studio which are needed

As a hobbyist who supports Linux in his games, all I can say is good luck with Linux revolution lmao

Steam Unable to add non steam game as game FIX

22 Dec 2025 - 11:01am

Hello everyone , i have found this workaround

step1. add an app that is already listed in the programs

step 2 : open its properties and go this ( before : image )

Step 3:: now change the target to the exe file u want to execute

step4 : also change the start In folder to the folder the exe file is in

IMPORTANT add " " at the end and beginning of the target and start in paths !

AND add go to the compatability to add the proton aswell

EVEN MORE IMPORTANT : once you do it like this u cannot add the " burner " app u used to do this .( i think deleting the game u added using the burner should add it back but i cant test it cuz i already downloaded the game and it takes 1-2hrs to download ).

Before

After

9070XT or a 5070ti for gaming on tv

22 Dec 2025 - 10:53am

Hello!

I exclusively only gaming on linux by now on a LG G2 TV (which doesnt have DisplayPort input). And i just cant decide wether to get a 5070ti or a 9070XT.

Main problem is the missing HDMI 2.1 support with the 9070XT.

The 9070XT would be generally the better choice, faster and cheaper, but even with a DP 1.4 to HDMI 2.1. adapter, im going to lose VRR and 10-bit HDR.

I hope for a DP 2.1. to HDMI 2.1 adapter, but there is none yet and who knows if thats even ever change.

I already tried out the most recommended adapter from Cable Matters, but i didnt tinker with the firmware yet.

Im wondering how you would decide.

Windows dual boot options?

22 Dec 2025 - 10:06am

I am planning on moving to Linux next year but I need a Windows boot for multiplayer games like bf6.

Should I use 11, 10? A custom iso that is pre stripped down to remove bloat.

What do you guys use as your dual boot?

Stalcraft X game not using dedicated GPU

22 Dec 2025 - 9:07am

Hello, after using dual boot for a long time I finally decided to switch to Linux Mint permanently.

After installing a game I played a lot on windows, Stalcraft X, I noticed that the game only uses the integrated intel gpu and runs bad because of it, I tried to launch it using the "run with dedicated gpu" option from the applet menu but had no succes.

Does anyone know how can I make the game use the dedicated gpu?

(I have a Lenovo Legion 5 laptop with Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU, also I use the Nouveau display drivers)

Game installed in steam; what command to use to Iaunch the .exe file within the Proton prefix?

22 Dec 2025 - 7:42am

Game is Resident Evil Revelations 2 (Biohazard) installed in steam in Ubuntu 24 LTS (snap, but also tried with .deb version). Game crashes at every workbench unless it's exe file is located in the c: drive. Tested & works in Windows 10.

I tried creating a symlink from the Ge-Proton location to the game files location, made no difference.

I read something about using protontricks and setting the steam compat data path or ge-proton's path equivalent. This has to be written in the steam launch so I can still save to the cloud & I am unsure what steps to do.
