Problems with Warthunder on Pop os

9 Nov 2025 - 11:31am

I recently switched from Ubuntu to pop os and keep getting problems with Warthunder, like anti cheat or no borderless window mode available. I never had those problems in Ubuntu. If it matters, I have a rx 5700 xt.

Proton washed out HDR - Nvidia - Arch, KDE 6

9 Nov 2025 - 11:24am

Hello,
I'm trying to use HDR on proton and it looks extremely washed out when on. I turned on HDR in KDE settings and it looks fine, but as soon as I turn it on in a proton game it looks terrible.
I tried installing Proton GE 10-25 and launched my games with "PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command%" but it looks the exact same.

The issue is still present if I use gamescope with --hdr-enabled also.
I don't know if they are supposed to do this but if I enable HDR in game while HDR is also off in KDE it looks basically the same way and it doesn't change my monitor to HDR. So my best guess is the game is rendering with HDR but not outputting it as HDR, since I would assume if it were then my monitor would swap over to HDR.

Any insight is much appreciated.

Unsupported graphics Driver Sober

9 Nov 2025 - 11:11am

Keep getting the same "Sober couldn't find a supported graphics device" error. Flatpak update says There's nothing left to do, and I've turned on "use_opengl": true in the config files.

I'm on a Quadro P620 + NVIDIA driver using EndeavourOS.

Anyone have a similar issue?

AMD Radeon RX590 shutting down on intensive tasks.

9 Nov 2025 - 10:04am

Hey guys, I have a graphics card AMD Radeon RX590. I use EndeavourOS for couple years now with this graphics card, everything was fine, until it wasn't.
I start gaming, some intensive graphics games, like Warframe, Painkiller, Ghost of Tsushima for example. Everything is fine under 60C temperature of the graphics card, after that the GPU is just shutting down, I have to shut down my PC by holding the switch. I corrupted countless saves like that, basically I cannot do anything except common tasks (browsing, videos, office).
Before this was not the case, I could play games as long as I wanted, no thermal shutdown or anything. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I don't think so. Maybe something changed with the drivers.

I cleaned my PC from dust, my GPU especially.

My specs are:

  • Operating System: EndeavourOS
  • KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.2
  • KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0
  • Qt Version: 6.10.0
  • Kernel Version: 6.17.7-arch1-1 (64-bit)
  • Graphics Platform: Wayland
  • Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor
  • Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.6 GiB usable)
  • Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 590 Series
  • Manufacturer: BIOSTAR Group
  • Product Name: X470GT8
  • Graphics driver: amdgpu
  • Vulkan driver: radv - Mesa 25.2.6-arch1.1

I use LACT or CoreCtrl to adjust my fan speeds, basically I turn max fan speed on, once the temperature rises to 50C. Lowered the power to 160W, lowered the frequency to 1467MHz.

I'm currently downloading Windows 11 (kill me), to try if the GPU is behaving similarly with that OS.

If anybody has a solution for me, I'll gladly listen to it. If you need additional information, let me know. Thanks in advance.

Issues with installing Lutris on 2 separate systems

9 Nov 2025 - 9:39am

Hey, guys

Been having issues with installing Lutris on both of my systems, although it was perfectly fine before.

One system is running Linux Mint, second system running Arch Linux

Both systems show error 256, when installing Lutris.

Is Lutris broken recently? Super strange as it was working for me before, but now I can't even install it. Nothing changed for my systems by the way:

I can't log in to games that log in via browser

9 Nov 2025 - 8:51am

https://preview.redd.it/s9ogotxns60g1.png?width=1014&format=png&auto=webp&s=61c83d8b8004e148c141d0184bfb04007268eb16

I can't log in to games that log in via browser, I have two games that I can't start because they send a connection message to the browser but the browser is not able to connect to the game resulting in this screen.

SO: Linux Mint

game 1: in heroic

game 2: in lutris

I have tried: - Different browsers (brave, firefox, chrominium) I have been a Linux user for a few months, it is still very difficult for me to solve these problems.

both games start well, the only problem is when they have to log in via the web.

Far Cry 5 on Lutris

9 Nov 2025 - 8:41am

German:

Far Cry 5 unter Lutris

Hallo an Alle.

Bin seit ca. 1 Monat bei Linux. Habe mir POP OS installiert fürs Gamen. Daher ist mein Wissen noch sehr rudimentär.

Habe versucht Far Cry 5 unter Lutris zu spielen. Das Spiel startet aber die Tastatur wird nicht erkannt. Hab einiges probiert. In den Starteroptionen die Wine Versionen gewechselt. Unter Game execution WINEDLLOVERIDES bzw WINE Disable RAWINPUT usw. Nichts funktioniert. Watch Dogs läuft aber einwandfrei.

Hat jemand das selbe Problem bzw. eine Lösung.

Habe jetzt unter Steam Ubisoft eingebunden und Far Cry 5 lokalisiert. Hier funktioniert es.

Will aber trotzdem wissen warum es unter Lutris nicht funktioniert.

Englisch

Far Cry 5 on Lutris

Hello everyone,

I've been using Linux for about a month now. I installed Pop!_OS specifically for gaming, so my knowledge is still very basic.

I tried running Far Cry 5 through Lutris. The game launches, but my keyboard isn't being recognized. I've experimented with several solutions: switching Wine versions in the launch options, using WINEDLLOVERRIDES or disabling RAWINPUT via WINE environment variables, etc.—nothing worked. Watch Dogs, however, runs perfectly fine.

Has anyone else encountered this same issue, or found a solution?

For now, I've linked my Ubisoft account through Steam and installed Far Cry 5 that way, and it works without issues.

Still, I’d really like to understand why it doesn't work under Lutris.

PC game recommendations for a MAME cabinet.

9 Nov 2025 - 8:16am

I've put together a cheap, low power Mini PC to get some 24/7 online stuff like Plex and torrents away from windows, have installed ubuntu 24 LTS and am just getting to know linux - loving it so far.

The PC also runs MAME and will be housed inside a cabinet with 8 way arcade joysticks and buttons from the 80s. It's just an intel N150, so integrated graphics, but I was surprised to see that it can run Dead Cells fine and is just powerful enough to run Silksong if I drop the screen res down to 1080 or less.

So, I'm looking for other PC game recommendations - not necessarily MAME games, but PC games that run on Linux and aren't too modern and GPU intensive, but most importantly games that are specifically designed for 8 way movement ie. WASD or arrow keys, that don't require a mouse or an analog stick on a gamepad - stuff like Spelunky or Stealth Bastard, plus I'm especially interested in anything that doesn't require Steam.

Also feel free to name drop any lesser known arcade games you loved in the 80 & 90s for me to check out on MAME. :)

AMD driver message

9 Nov 2025 - 8:04am

Randomly today when loading into some games I get a message saying that my drivers are out of date. What confuses me is it is telling me to install the AMD drivers but I'm 97% sure I'm using the mesa drivers. Also the games play fine with no issues noticed

Looking for help changing Wine's file browser

9 Nov 2025 - 6:25am

I'm the dev of a script that installs Mod Organizer 2 for Linux users, and I'm looking for some help in getting the file browser to use Dolphin (or whatever the user has set as their default, xdg-open?) instead of proton/wine's default file browser.

I've been looking into the prefix registry, following some guides (linked below) and adapting them in hopes of getting things working, but those efforts have been fruitless. Doesn't seem that the commands are being executed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Skyrim Modding tutorial

9 Nov 2025 - 4:33am

Hi.

This is an linux manjaro user tutorial for modding skyrim in a linux system. Feel free to add your opinions down bellow, and also if I commited any error.

I will include in this tutorial the setups for Bodyslide and Pandora, as the game is literally unplayable without it.

First of all, download the skyrim trought steam (this steps will only work in the steam version). After Skyrim is downloaded, open it up for the first time, this step is necessary to setup the path to it.

After that, download in your apps manager the apps FLATSEAL and BOTTLES. Open flatseal after bottles is installed and give permisions to bottles access your files.

Now you open bottles. Click on the skyrim bottles who is already setup and the dependencies page.

In skyrim bottles dependencies page, you will need to install these as dependencies: .NET 6.0 (dotnet); C++ redistrituble 2019 (vcredist 2019); vcredist 2015-2022;

After that, you will need to open vortex and set up to manage skyrim se.

Close vortex and put SKSE files inside Skyrim folder. You can open skyrim folder trought steam properties of the game. For modded, skyrim, we will always open the skse version, so you must copy it and rename it as SkyrimLauncher.exe, so steam will always open the modded version of skyrim.

Open skyrim one more time and close it.

Now you will install the core dependencies for most mods from nexus. These mods are: All in one adress library, RaceMenu, SkyUI SE - Difficulty Persistence Fix, Fix Note icon for SkyUI, SkyUI - Ghost Item Bug Fix, SkyUI and Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition patch.

After these are installed, extract bodyslide folder in some place outside skyrim folder, and install pandora behaviour engine via vortex. Put the path for Pandora and Bodyslide via vortex (remember that the Virtual FIle System will maybe change your paths name. To flee from erros, put the path by navigating trought this virtual file system of the program.

In a folder outside pandora, make an folder named Pandora Output, i recommend it to be in the same place as where vortex put the installed mods. After that, open pandora via vortex and build once.

Now vortex will ask you about an mod named pandora output, install and enable it (the animations wont work if you dont enable it).

Remember to go to the plugins page and enable all plugins.

Now u can download all the mods you want! It was super hard for me and I expect you guys can manage it.

Issue with poor performance

9 Nov 2025 - 4:00am

Hello! I recently installed CachyOS on my pc (Intel+AMD) and after some troubleshooting, it's fantastic! I also wanted to get it on my laptop, installation was fine, I updated everything, but, when I tried to play Dark Souls Remastered, I got hit by a very poor performance for even this laptop. On windows 11 in 720p with MSAA or nothing, worked in almost everywhere 60 (in some locations it was dropping to 50/45), but on CachyOS in same settings I was getting 40/30 fps. And also the desktop was also choppy on the laptop, but ig I can just deal with it, but the performance is just nope
My laptop and specs:
Lenovo ThinkPad T570
250gb windows 11
250gb CachyOS 6.17.7.3 with KDE Plasma 6.5.2
CPU: i7-7600U
GPU1: Intel HD 620
GPU2: NVIDIA GeForce 940MX
SSD 512GB

Any idea how can I fix this performance?
