Isolated issue in tf2.

Hi everyone, first of all sorry my English. My steam doesn’t seem to be coroporating with my Linux. So i installed Kubuntu 47 to help speed up the proces. The problem is I was using wine as an emulator and it wasn’t holding up. I put the files in the Proton folder and when I came back they were missing. I thought I could use Lutris in the meantime, but boy was i wrong because when I returened all my game files were corrupted. And steam wont offer me a refend. The package containing the files is corrupted aswelll, including the partition disc emulator. My GPU is thru the roof but I guess it’s just not enough. Whenever I try to dowload videos, it says ERROR due to variabless. Not sure what this means but i restarted my Haljuico and I think i fucked it up more. I dug myself a deep deep hole of shit creating problems when trying to solve another. I need help. Someone do something.

As a Cloud / DevOps engineer, I wanted to play my Steam games without requiring expensive hardware, so I built this Free & Open Source project to play Steam games on Linux in the Cloud: Cloudy Pad 🎮. It's roughly an open source alternative to GeForce Now - it deploys a ready-to-play Linux machine on AWS, Azure, GCP, Paperspace or Scaleway.

GitHub repo: https://github.com/PierreBeucher/cloudypad

Main features:

• Play 30 to 40 hours for less than 20$ (see cost estimations)
• Stop instance automatically when idle to prevent unnecessary costs
• Use Spot instances (up to 70% cheaper instances)
• Use Moonlight with Sunshine or Wolf, specialized video-game streaming servers for ultra-low latency

A self-deployment feature is also in the works to let you turn your own machine into a remote gaming server 🪄

I'd love to hear your feedback ! And of course I'll answer your questions. We're also a growing community on Discord and looking for contributors, we'll happily onboard you if you want to give a hand 🙏

is this just 'preparatory work' or can you test it now?

wonder if anyone is using it inside a steam-session with wayland (and if this will end in better performance). Should be doable by adding --expose-wayland to gamescope-options of the session.

I tried to run this game through steam and lutris (i use arch), tried a lot of different launch options etc. The problems are usually just complete freezes after 5-10 mins of playing, but one time it completely "broke" my pc. I have a rx 6750xt and a r7600m, and i use sway (i can provide more info if needed). Does anyone have the same problem/fix? I'll keep trying anyway, since the game is just so good!

Hello, a buddy and I recently installed Pop!_OS and we wanted to play Arma. We found some launch options that seemed to work, which I'll put below here at the end. For him, his microphone works just fine, but for me I'll press the talk/radio buttons and nothing. My microphone works for other steam games, but I know that's probably apples to oranges. The speaker icon will show up and various programs like helvum, pavucontrol, etc all say Arma is listening to my microphone, but nothing comes through.

It's probably a long shot, but is anyone else here running the game and experiencing a similar issue?

My mic is a Rode NT1 connected to a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th gen, using the alsa-scarlett-gui settings on direct. I'm thinking the interface might be the issue, but it works fine for other apps and games.

I'm currently using GE-Proton10-7, but experimental and hotfix both worked too with the same microphone issue.

Launch options are env LD_PRELOAD="" __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 __GL_13ebad=0X1 %command% -noSplash -forceUpdate -maxVRAM=11264 -noborder

It's great to see Linux gaming (and generally) starting to see a bit of real traction of late, with the variety of 'out-of-the-box' distros available, continued improvements with Wine and Proton and Valve's support with the Steam deck etc, but it's important to be mindful of the reactions this will draw from Microsoft.

We might not be there yet, but they don't want to lose marketshare, even though the corporate space is still heavily MS invested and they maintain ownership of the desktop space with 'AI convenience' and ads.

It's worth keeping a critical eye on things that downplay the successes of Linux, promote issues with particular (and especially popular) Linux distros and spikes in news about Linux performance lacking behind Windows. And also to see what things the algorithms promote vs demote...

Linux lets us play, be curious, learn, experiment and own our environment, for free. Microsoft let us consume, for a price.

Title explains it, ill be on Bazzite

Hello,

I am on arch linux, with pipewire and wireplumber.

There is no sound neither in steam in general nor void stranger

I tried many version of proton on steam (9.0-4 ; 10.0-1 beta ; 8.0-5 ; hotfix) but none of them seem to work... I already had a problem to launch the game but solved with this setting " PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command% ".

plz help

Hello everyone, as the title says i couldn't manage to install proton experimental (i couldn't download any version of proton in general) on my system (Linux Mint 22.1 xia). When I tried to download the package from Steam it just seemed to download some files but in the end it always gave me a "Disk write error".

Here's an example of error I receive when trying to launch a game (fallout 4): "Disk write error - /media/myusername/myssd/SteamLibrary/steamapps/downloading/1493710/files/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdav1d.so

If someone is willing to help me I would really appreciate that. Thank you in advice.

Hi!

I wanted to test which games that would boot better on different DE's. I started No man's sky on cosmic (wayland) and it processed vulkan shaders for like 3 seconds. Then I tried on gnome Xorg and it seems to process 1%/minute. So... will switching DE result in this or is there another explanation? (other games have processed really slow on cosmic so I'm not advocating that cosmic is better at this)

I'm wondering if there is something similar or what lossless has for Linux, which helped me make the gameplay of certain games playable.

Hello everyone,

As the title suggests I've been having this issue for the past few weeks now where I install ubisoft connect trash launcher through (tried heroic, lutris, bottles and non steam game) and it always takes 10-15 minutes to launch while looking at the splash screen. I tried a lot of things like changing a shit ton of distributions, re-installing my Nvidia drivers, proton ge, wine ge etc etc nothing seems to work. Is there any hero here who has managed to fix this issue? Ubisoft support won't be able to help with this since this game is not supported on Linux.

Any hero here that could be able to help me?

After what happened with CrowdStrike, it seems Microsoft is determined to close its kernel to antivirus software, although it doesn't mention anything about anti-cheat software. That's why I'm wondering: Do you think it's possible that something like macOS could happen, where they won't allow any kernel-level installations?

If this happen, I imagine that video game companies would have to do away with these anti-cheats, and these games could be played on Linux. I was overjoyed just thinking I could uninstall Windows forever. What do you think?

Hi,

I've always been dual booting on my laptops, one Linux drive for personal activities, and one windows drive for gaming.

I could see, the past few years, Linux getting more and more on par with windows, even better at times.

A couple of times a year I would make a fresh install of my favorite desktop distro (fedora) and see how close it's getting to my windows install.

Which brings us to a couple weeks ago. Fresh install of Fedora Silvervlue, steam, proton-ge and begin comparison.

Underwhelming. I mean I expected near native performances from all the videos / articles you can find googling around, or maybe a 5/10% loss. Not 30% less frames per seconds...

For reference on windows I would get 60-80fps average on games like masseffect legendary modded, battlefront 2, tomb raider 2013, etc... On Linux 30-50fps average...

To see if it was a software issue I've spent the last few days distro-hopping: plain Debian, fedora silverblue, nobara, bazzite, manjaro. No changes...

Is my hardware at fault? I thought all AMD system should play nice with Linux.

If anyone have a idea, or if I'm not alone, please chime in!

Thanks,

Last of Us Part 2

The pixelation around the campfire

Hello, I was wondering if theirs any way to increase saturation/vibrance on Linux just like how it’s possible in windows using AMD control panel (amd gpu). I know nvibrant exists for Nvidia on Wayland but not sure if theirs one for AMD too.

Finally Ditched Windows for Arch and couldn't be happier! i also have many games working flawlessly and its amazing how so much faster it is. I have an Intel 14900k with 128gb ram with 2tb ssd and 30TB for games and music I just upgraded to an RTX 5080. Even the oldest of my games run great
