The last time i played Genshin Impact was a week or two before the 6.0 update and it was perfectly fine. I tried to update the game recently but the Hoyoplay launcher was giving me trouble so I uninstalled it and tried to install it again, but I keep getting this Wine program error. I've updated wine, my system and graphic drivers hoping something might fix it somehow but I still get this. The game itself launches fine when launching it directly but won't log in because it's outdated and I need the Hoyo launcher to update to recent update. Any help fixing this?

This is my PC spec
RTX 3060 12 GB
Intel I9 and 32GB RAM with NvMe and SSD for storage

I am using linux mint. I have installed latest Nvidia drivers .

So I have switched from windows to linux and its been almost a month. Till now I have had no issues with most of the games I play since they are not graphically heavy on the system. I have tried CP2077 on Heroic and it works like a charm and much better than on windows.

My problem comes is with Steam the performance and FPS drops.
I have played Age of empires 2 DE on windows (same PC) had no major issue apart from network problems. But with linux its worse the game starts normally the problem comes is when there are multiple units in one game (same true for SP with AI and MP). Once the threshold increase the game lag and it becomes a PPT slide show. I saw some post saying to turn ON Vsync but it if does not help.

Second I reinstalled KCD 2 just to prepare for DLC coming out next week and notice the game functions normally but when i get into combat or cut scene the FPS drops and the NPC lags. I cant see the attacks coming in. It playable but its annoying compared to my previous experience.

I saw a lot of comments previously that Nvidia is got good for Linux gaming but is my only option to change GPU to AMD? Has someone figured out a solution for this?

Again the games are playable but its not that as smooth as it was on windows. I strongly believe its not hardware issue but something i did wrong.

🧾 System info:

• Fedora Linux 42
• Wine-Staging 10.15 (64-bit prefix)
• Game: Dying Light (manual installation)

🧩 Problem:
When launching with wine DyingLightGame.exe, the game fails immediately with:

err:module:import_dll Library WLDAP32.dll (needed by libcurl64.dll) not found err:module:import_dll Library libcurl64.dll (needed by engine_x64_rwdi.dll) not found err:module:loader_init Importing dlls for DyingLightGame.exe failed, status c0000135

🔍 What I found:

• All required DLLs (like libcurl64.dll, engine_x64_rwdi.dll, gamedll_x64_rwdi.dll) exist in the folder.
• Wine seems to ignore the current folder when resolving DLLs.
• WLDAP32.dll (a system DLL) is missing from the Wine prefix.

⚙️ What I’ve tried so far:

1. Created clean 64-bit prefix with winecfg.
2. Installed dependencies via winetricks wldap32 vcrun2013 vcrun2015.
3. Set DLL overrides (native,builtin) for all related DLLs in regedit.
4. Added C:\DyingLight to PATH in registry.
5. Tried running with:WINEDLLOVERRIDES="libcurl64,engine_x64_rwdi,gamedll_x64_rwdi,WLDAP32=native,builtin" wine DyingLightGame.exe
6. Still getting status c0000135.

🧠 Question:
How can I make Wine properly load local DLLs from the game directory (C:\DyingLight)?
Or is there a known patch/config needed for Dying Light under Wine 10.x?

Ridge Racer Unbounded worked perfectly on older versions of Proton, but after updates, graphical artifacts appeared. Despite this, the game still has a "Platinum" status on its page (many positive reviews from the old version). This status can mislead people. The ProtonDB team needs to rethink the game rating system, focusing on current reviews.

Just switched from Windows to Omarchy after months of running it on my laptop. Installed ARC Riders, but when I start the game I get the following error:

First time gaming on Linux and have basically no idea about anything related to gaming. Could somebody help me? I'm running the game from Steam.

apparently half life 2 episode 2 doesn't show your health in the HUD when you play on the steam deck. this is a bug caused by a typo in the game's code that started with the 20th anniversary update that came out last year. i had to download a modification from steam workshop to fix it. valve should fix this but this is just classic valve behaviour. the health displays fine if you play on a regular pc but on a steam deck with the gamepad UI you need this mod. at least it's fixable

anyway's here's the fix

I'm sure I'll get some negative comments, but I wanted to share my experience. I installed Fedora 43 on one of my SSDs and used it as my daily driver for many weeks. Love it. Customised it, did all sorts of tinkering. I run two different distros on my two homelab servers, so I'm quite familiar at this point to the linux experience and the command line.

Gaming wise, it is almost perfect. Many games I could just run off my NTFS windows SSDs and everything just worked as it was on Windows. Some others I needed to move across or copy my saves across. But that's neither here nor there. If you wanted to migrate and move everything across, you can. And once it's done, you'd never have to do it again. Problem is, I am big on cities skylines 2 at the moment, so I was very keen to play it on linux. Unfortunately, CS2 is a bit problematic at the moment (even on windows at times), so tinkering went on and on. Many different proton versions, with different launch options. Re-installed drivers, tried every thing I could try. Just could not get it to run reliably without crashing every 30-60 mins.

And that alone unfortunately stops me from booting into fedora by default now. Once I start playing a different game, back to linux I go. It's just annoying that windows is the only way I can get CS2 to work. And even if I could get it working, I don't want to waste more time attempting to get it to work, rather than just playing it.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Edit: By CS2, I mean Cities Skylines 2 just to clarify.

Hello guys, so normally when I play geometry dash, I have my external monitor plugged in and the game runs perfectly fine, no frame drops or anything of that sort. However when I have to move out and play geometry dash without my monitor plugged in, the game stutters at pretty much any level. The issue is specific with geometry dash specifically, other games work perfectly fine. I tried changing the proton version and making sure that my dGPU actually uses geometry dash but I had my dGPU used since always.

Specs: Laptops monitor refresh rate: 144Hz External monitor refresh rate: 180Hz Distro: Arch Linux (kernel Linux 6.17.7-arch1-1) Desktop Enviroment: Hyprland dGPU: 3050Ti Mobile iGPU: Intel Graphics submitted by /u/Pro_555

Hello everybody,

I'm preparing my switch to linux (moving all relevant data and stuff from "C:") After moving my last Steam Games (to an internal SSD "E:"), I found "steamworks common redistributables" that can't be moved because of "shared content".

The internet didn't provide me with the answers I was looking for. Can you guys and gals help?

Do I need to move it manually? Will Steam just create a new one, when installing it on linux? Can I even use my previous game installs in linux or do I have to download everything again (until steamworks common redistributables I just naively figured that "yes I can")?
