Telltale games 21:9 issue

6 Nov 2025 - 10:05pm

I'm playing the batman telltale game, and it "supports" 21:9 in all the menus but when you get into the game there is blackbars around everything.

I have found this: https://github.com/PhantomGamers/TellTaleWidescreenPatcher

Does anyone know how i would get this to work on CachyOS?

I have the game on steam.

I'd appreciate any help or advice.

Thank you

need help for gaming

6 Nov 2025 - 9:22pm

whenever i launch a game, if i dont stay on the tab while its launching, it will not respond and crash. sometimes the crashing happens even when i do stay on the tab sometimes as well, when avoided, the game will litterally crash at another point, the thing is that the games

always crash whatever i do.

this only happens on proton games, specifically, silksong that i stated for proton to force all the game files to be compatible(for my mods that i downloaded) or another game called sandboxels. Some games that are not even on steam, that i downloaded and manually put on lutris or bottles, crash more often

The crashing proccess is basicly the game's graphics stopping, freezed visual but continues music(background music) and the only temporary solution i found is violently abusing the alt-tab shortcut just to move some frames and the force quit or wait selection screen.
i use linux mint cinnamon, also i downloaded gnome and i3 to my pc but i dont use them for gaming, they are just a option for when i use my pc for work.

Unable to run Resident Evil 4 Remake - D3D12CreateDevice Failed.

6 Nov 2025 - 8:09pm

I'm using OpenSuse Tumbleweed on the latest nvidia driver, no matter what I do the game doesn't seem to work with my graphics card? Ive tried several proton versions from proton 9-0.4 to GEProton-10.25.

Proton log shows "vkd3d_create_vk_device: Failed to create Vulkan device, vr -3" nothing else seems related.

Setting up Steam for my Dad

6 Nov 2025 - 8:06pm

Hi folks,

Sorry if this is the wrong way to go about it but I just had some questions about setting up steam on Linux.

My dad recently retired and as a gift I wanted to get him set up with a steam account where we can gift him games to play. Hes an old gamer who hasnt had time for gaming so I though he might enjoy this. The tricky part is that he is running Linux on his computer and I know nothing about it.

He's pretty good at following instructions but he's not the most tech literate so I was wondering what the best "plug and play" option would be for him? I'll set it up for Kim initially but I'm also an armature when it comes to Linux. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

He's using Linux mint if that helps.

My game Rhombus just released today, a 1st-person puzzle game with non-linear exploration and metroidbrainia elements, and it has native Linux support.

6 Nov 2025 - 8:02pm

Hey r/linux_gaming,

I'm Axel, the developer of Rhombus, a compact non-linear 1st person puzzle game built around a unique core mechanic where you build your path by making platforms go up and down by interacting with panels representing these platforms through perspective.

It is about 2-3 hours long and draws inspiration from games such as The Witness (panels), Antichamber and Manifold Garden (visual style) or Leap Year (compact non-linearity). And of course, it has native Linux support.

If it sounds interesting to you, then you can check out Rhombus on Steam.

OS market share over the last 5 years on Steam. Linux is now above 3%.

6 Nov 2025 - 7:34pm

As someone that has been using linux for the last 12 years, it was really good to see that the number of linux users on Steam is slowly but steadily growing.

Search: 3D Blender designer.

6 Nov 2025 - 7:15pm

Hi Linuxers )

i a m developer of the Ecliptica Game, some time ago my from the team leave 3d designer,

Unfortunately, he can no longer help me with the game. But 3d work is here to stay, and I fundamentally don't want to buy or take ready-made assets; that usually makes games extremely unappealing. So maybe someone would like to participate. The project is a solo-developing and isn't making any money yet, so I'm looking for someone who would just like to contribute.

Maybe someone is interested in this?

Bedrock switch from UWP to GDK

6 Nov 2025 - 7:05pm

In the latest Minecraft Update Mojang changed Bedrock to be a GDK game instead of UWP. Does this mean I can now just have it on my steamdeck instead of needing an launcher launcher like the PE one?

New user

6 Nov 2025 - 6:38pm

Well, this is my second post on Reddit. I have been looking for something new on my life and I'm thinking about to migrate Linux. I'm user Windows my whole life xD. I don't know how to start but people usually recommends in my case that use Bazzite, Nobara, Fedora or PopOs! But I would use my laptop for make videos, edition, geography programs (Google Earth Pro, Qgis, ArcGis, etc) and gamming. I'm not sure how start. Please help, I would be grateful. Sorry for my bad English, I talk Spanish xD.

Questions about save game and library management

6 Nov 2025 - 5:38pm

Edit: also, is there a wiki or anything that catalogs which runners, which dependencies, settings are needed for each game?

Basically, It seems like some games work best with proton, some with wine. Some dont work at all with wine but will launch with proton.

Part of the problem is that some games will launch fine with wine, and some will only launch using proton

Switching between these puts save games in wildly different locations, and each game has its own prefix meaning its own save location, and sometimes this is different (within the windows tree) game-to-game, ie some will save in appdata, or Saved Games, or elsewhere.

I guess what I'm asking is what is the best way to manage all of this. I would like to use something like Vorta or Borg to do backups on saves, or maybe I should just set a default directory for prefixes and back up the whole thing? But then proton saves are elsewhere, is it even possible to set a default prefix for proton or are they perpetually suck in the steam directories?

I have way more games than harddrive space, and tend to move installed games between my NAS and gaming computer, it would be really nice to easily backup and move saves around if I want to go back to a game... Any ideas? Does anyone have a system for this?

I'm making a cozy roguelike word game with a physics twist!

6 Nov 2025 - 5:22pm

I’m super proud to announce my next solo project, Lexispell! It's a cozy roguelike word game with a physics twist. You merge letters, pick cool upgrades and spell long words.

The main loop is you going through levels where you need to score enough points to continue. In between you visit the shop where you can buy upgrades (like Balatro jokers) and consumables (energy, reveal a word, transform letters, etc..).

I'm also working on different mode for different players as I want to make something approachable and challenging for more "hardcore" gamers. So if you don't like roguelikes, don't worry, there will probably be something for you too!

I'm developing the game on Linux (Mint) and I own a Steam Deck so support for Linux is there from the beginning! I still love to get other people to test the game to make sure it's smooth. If it's something you're interested in, you can register to the public playtest directly on the game.

Geometry Dash not running without proton experimental or proton 9.0

6 Nov 2025 - 5:08pm

Geometry Dash doesn't run well natively on linux but i saw a thread that said that proton 6.3 and only 6.3 can make it run well. Unfortunately anything except experimental and 9.0 just crashes the game instantly(I press launch, says running for a minute then it just stops the running state)
I've managed to get the logs, however i'm not very experienced with these kinds of things

Thank you!
