Help with Assetto Corsa
I am trying to run Assetto Corsa but im not having any luck getting it to launch. I have tried force compatibility with proton 5.0-10, 9.0-4, 8.0-5, experimental and hotfix. I have updated all my drivers and every other game ive tried works fine minus CS:GO and PUBG. CS:GO due to it thinking im cheating and PUBG I suspect because it runs like ass at the best of times. Any help getting this to run would be greatly appreciated

Modding Skyrim Special Edition on Linux 2025
Hello guys! I've been struggling with modding SKSE on Linux forever. I've tried Vortex and Lutris, but neither of those have worked for me. Eventually, I switched to using ModOrganizer2 and protontricks which worked. Here's what worked for me:
Skyrim & Proton Setup- Install Steam (I used a system package manager, but flatpak should be fine too. For the rest of my guide, I have the steam directory as ~/.local/share/Steam. If you use Flatpak, the directory will be different, so you may need to symlink the flatpak directory to ~/.local/share/Steam for things to work)
- Install Skyrim SE from Steam, go into the configuration and make sure it uses Proton Experimental as the compatability layer.
- Launch Skyrim SE once to generate proton prefixes.
I tried using protontricks from APT, but it wasn't working, so I recommend using the flatpak version of protontricks. I used this command:
flatpak install com.github.Matoking.protontricksProtontricks allows you to interact with Skyrim's proton prefix (Steam/.../489830/pfx/) in a clean way using the Wine dialogs. :)
install the Windows version of Mod Organizer 2- Download a MO2 .exe file from the GitHub.
- Install it in Skyrim's proton prefix using protontricks:
- Make sure you've run Skyrim once
- Launch Protontricks
- Select Skyrim Special Edition → default wineprefix
- Choose “Run an arbitrary executable” and select your downloaded MO2 installer wherever it is
After installation, the main executable will usually be:
C:\Modding\MO2\ModOrganizer.exeThis means that every time you want to install/edit mods, you should launch this .exe with protontricks.
On Linux, the corresponding path is:
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx/drive_c/Modding/MO2/ModOrganizer.exe Create a Desktop Launcher for MO2In order to make it easier to launch MO2 without launching protontricks and pressing a bunch of buttons and finding the file, you can make a desktop entry, which will appear directly as an app on your computer.
Create a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications to launch MO2 conveniently:
[Desktop Entry] Name=Mod Organizer 2 (Skyrim SE) Comment=Launch Mod Organizer 2 in Skyrim Proton Prefix Exec=flatpak run --command=protontricks-launch com.github.Matoking.protontricks --appid 489830 "/home/{USERNAME}/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx/drive_c/Modding/MO2/ModOrganizer.exe" Icon=/home/{USERNAME}/.local/share/icons/modorganizer2.png Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Game;Utility; StartupWMClass=ModOrganizer.exe- MAKE SURE YOU REPLACE {USERNAME} with your Linux username
- I also included the Icon=/home/{USERNAME}/.local/share/icons/modorganizer2.png line so that the app has an icon. This isn't required but it gives the app a nice icon. See below on how to extract the icon.
You may have to make the desktop entry executable:
chmod +x ~/.local/share/applications/modorganizer2-skyrim.desktop Extract MO2 IconTo give your desktop entry a nice icon, You can extract the icon from the MO2 executable using 7zip:
7z x ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx/drive_c/Modding/MO2/ModOrganizer.exe ".rsrc/ICON" -o./extracted_icons- Save the extracted PNG (the highest quality is #10) to ~/.local/share/icons/modorganizer2.png
- Update the .desktop file to point to this path
Mod Organizer asked me to connect Nexus when I launched it, so it should work seamlessly with Nexus mods website.
yay!

Help w/ Ark Survival Ascended Crashing w/ Inventory
My game has only been crashing when Im in my inventory. Anytime I level up, try to allocate a point, or even switch to a different tab, my game crashes, I've disabled menu transitions, enabled lower inventory res, and am running windowed fullscreen now and it still doesnt want to work properly. I had to make a server so I could play the game normally (dino spawns are dick for normal single player), and on normal single player I could get lucky and have zero issues for a period of time, but my game constantly crashes when Im in my inventory on the server (was able to level up and use my inventory for a while before I got another crash so it works sometimes). I was using proton Ge10.25 but Im using experimental and changing to either of them doesn't fix my issue. I use fedora kde 43 and have a nvidia gpu. Game runs great, and ONLY crashes from my inventory. If you have any idea of how to help my issue, please comment or something.

Amd BC-250 only posts when display port is disconnected
Just got a BC-250 from eBay today to turn into a steam machine running bazzite but I can’t get the thing to output video, funnily enough it only turns on when you unplug the display port connector. Couldn’t find anything online about this and chatGPT was useless so I was wondering if anyone else ran into this problem. From what I’ve seen on YouTube they should “just work” and post right out of the box. The psu I’m testing with is a thermaltake toughpower GT 850W, with the 24 pin jumpered (so it’ll turn on) and the pcie being used to power the board. I am just at a loss for what could be going on and wanted to make a post about it before just assuming it’s hardware failure. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

[Mint] Having to add drive to Steam every time I turn on my PC
Recently decided to switch to Mint after years of using Windows. Almost everything works flawlessly on it but I ran into an issue where Steam just forces me to add my HDD every time I start my PC. Yes the drive is properly formatted to ext4, and yes "Mount on Startup" is turned on in Disks. How can I permanently solve this?.
I downloaded Steam from the Software Manager btw.

Gamescope has the wrong keyboard layout?
I just hopped to EndeavourOS, from Garuda, and something weird is happening now that I installed Steam. Using Wayand and KDE Plasma.
I play Warframe, with the following gamescope line in Steam's own properties: LD_PRELOAD="" gamescope --force-grab-cursor -w 3840 -h 1620 -W 2560 -H 1080 -r 75 -f --mangoapp --hdr-enabled --adaptive-sync -- %command%
I just installed the game, forced it to use Proton Hotfix, and pressed play. Whenever I try to write special characters in chat, like "é" or "ñ" (by pressing ' then e, or ~ then n), it writes "'e" or "~n".
It clearly works on the rest of the system, it's just on Gamescope, what the hell is even going on for this to happen? Any help is appreciated, I'm just puzzled...

Ghost of Tsushima Freezing Computer
Hello Everyone,
I’ve been using Linux for almost a year now after making the switch from Windows and I’ve been enjoying it thoroughly. However, I think I’ve reached my breaking point.
I started off with EndeavorOS and switched over to Bazzite after realizing that I’d like something a bit less hands on. Once again, I haven’t run into anything that I couldn’t really solve with some research and I have a pretty beefy AMD computer.
Yet, I have no clue how to fix this. Ghost of Tsushima has been consistently crashing my computer everytime I try and play it for longer than a couple of minutes. I’ve switched multiple protons, tried different distros(lol), commands, frame-rate limits, etc.
Yet nothing. It just won’t budge. Any ideas?

I didn’t know…
Is it possible to remove these items and only show FPS in Mangohud?
I’d like to remove the VKD3D and frame time and only show the FPS, is this possible?

It appears that Black Ops: Cold War is finally playable without the risk of a ban
After the patch notes of the latest proton experimental release(and its subsequent patch notes modification to remove BOCW as part of the now playable) i decided to "sacrifice" an account to verify it is actually working and no longer bans you. I was able to play a total of 6 hours across 2 days on Die Maschine and havent been banned yet, bans before this would happen on the menu before you even got to a game.
Some issues i noticed:
- Terrain textures are flickery but not unbearable
- Theres severe memory leakage, however since i have a 64GB RAM system i was able to handle it for 34 rounds before i crashed
- Mouse Input freaks out after leaving any UI menu for 2s before returning to normal, works fine in game
The game is extremely fun and satisfying to play however. I started at level 0 and have gotten to L20 since since i had not played Cold War before this and im very happy it works.

No games run no matter what I do.
I have no idea what to do at this point. Even on Linux native games, on Steam, pressing the play button just syncs the game to cloud, then doesn't actually launch the game. Steam from the KDE discover page didn't work so i installed it through Flatpak, and all my drives are (EXFAT I MEANT EXFAT). have the right versions of proton, have all the drives mounted, and can't seem to find anyone else who has had this issue before online. TF2 just syncs to steam then the play button pops up again, same on Ultrakill, Terraria, etc.
Tried first on Cachy, then switched to Kubuntu now and it still has the same issue. launching from desktop also just runs the game for 2 seconds before closing it. I have no idea what to do at this point and am thinking of begrudgingly returning to windows if i cant run any of my games....
(I have an AMD gpu if that matters.)

Update: Unable to connect to servers/host server
Hello ! I’ve been trying to play on an existing server hosted on my Xbox, bought this copy of Abiotic Factor just to play online, and I’m having no luck connecting !
I am playing on Linux Mint Cinnamon, using Lutris and Wine, I’ve whitelisted Steam in my firewall as well ! I’ve verified the game files, I’ve attempted connection with all the NAT type compatibility options, as well as the Direct Connection option. I’ve also tried joining the server via the Steam View options, however that only listed some servers and there seemed to be no one on them?
I’m very new to Linux so apologies for my ignorance, and thank you in advance for all your help.
OS: Linux mint 22.2 cinnamon
Cinnamon Version: 6.4.8
Linux Kernel: 6.14.0-37-generic
Processor: Intel Core iS-4300M CPU @ 2.60GHz x2
Graphics Card: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
Display Server: X11
Semi-Update- In my previous post I had ended up with error code Fleming, but I think that’s cause the servers were down then anyway. No more Fleming error code, just unable to connect online (despite... many attempts)

Terraria is crashing when trying to join a multiplayer server on Steam. Has anyone had similar issues and what was the fix?
My wife has a Terraria world that she hosts on Steam for us to play together. We have had no issues playing together for the past few weeks until recently, when my Terraria crashes when trying to join her server. I can join singleplayer worlds just fine with the same character I played in her world, and attempting to join her world with any character results in both Terraria and Steam as a whole crashing. Terraria is being played on the most recent version with no workshop items.
I have performed a full system upgrade and rebooted, verified integrity of game files, and reinstalled Terraria. My game still crashes and behaves the same. Terraria is being played natively, no proton or launch options other than -logerrors -logfile. After forcing regular Proton, GE-Proton, and CachyOS proton, there is no change. Terraria and Steam both still crash at "Joining player...".
I am running CachyOS with KDE Plasma 6 (Wayland), Kernel Linux 6.18.2-2-cachyos with an Nvidia graphics card (RTX 5070Ti) on the latest nvidia-open driver, 590.48.01-3.
I ran steam-native through kitty, with -logerrors -logfile as launch options in Terraria, to try to figure out what could be causing this issue. After Steam crashes, this is all that is left in my terminal window:

Play non-Steam games
I recently switched to Linux Mint 22 to revive my old 2014 laptop a little (nothing complex or current, just classics), but I'm really lost when it comes to installing any .exe files. I already struggled a lot trying to install Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War (the original) through Lutris, only for it to not work properly in the end, as the campaign mode doesn't work, and I really don't know how to configure these games with errors or which launcher to use (I've heard of Lutris, Heroic, Faugus, etc.).
