Games are kind of laggy

Hello !

I'm a new Fedora user. As the title says, Most of my games run not that good. For example, KCD II run in Kuttenberg at ~40-50fps where on Windows I was at easy 60fps. On FF7R, it's not that bad but I have some kind of stutters, same on Hitman 3. Weird thing is that,for KCD II at least, CPU+GPU work at 80% max

I've tried different Proton version, can't see major change.

I'm aware that linux is not as game optimized as Windows, but I don't understand why it does run as good as people say on ProtonDB.

Thanks for your help, and sorry for my english.

Config:

i5 8600k

RX6800XT

16GB ram

Fedora 43 workstation

Hi guys,

This morning I connected the DS4 controller to PC using the bluetooth GUI on LMDE and everything was fine; I played at PokeMMO for a few hours without problem.

In the afternoon i used Reaper, WhatsApp and Firefox (i don't know if it matters) but now the controller it no longer connect. Or rather, it connects but immediately afterwards it disconnects.

I tried to redo the connection using terminal because i read that the interface might have a bug but it's the same.

Do you have any suggestions?

As the title said, my Xbox controller no longer works with my computer. It worked when I was using Windows but it's not with PopOs.

I made sure the Bluetooth drivers were up to date so it doesn't seem to be that. I tried a couple of others things that I found online but nothing has helped.

Today some strange lines started appearing on screen in certain scenes (look at the suit around the shoulder and arm). I'm wondering what this effect is called and how I can prevent it? All I did basically was increasing resolution from 2k to 4k (on a 4k TV, streaming via Moonlight from a Linux host). Thanks!

Im trying to setup streaming from my PC to my TV in the same home but I cannot change the display big picture mode boots up on. I tried Sunlight/Moonlight but I couldn't get that to work properly with a virtual display, so I'm trying steam link instead. But Big Picture starts up on my main monitor and leaves my TV with a black screen. I remember there being an option to change the primary display but it's suddenly gone. I use Nobara.

Hello everyone, newbie here

I just installed Mint successfully, after Windows 10 suspiciously slowing down after I refused to go to 11. As I was downloading my games from Steam, I plugged a freshly bought 500 GB external disk, ready to try a freshly offered Dispatch, and...

I can't add this disk

I tried to look for answers so I formatted it to EXT4. And yet, not only it didn't recognised, but as I look in the disk's properties, the file system is marked as "msdos"

Do you have any advices ?

Thank you in advance

I use Arch Linux (by the way) and have an ALVR + SteamVR setup. When I start the setup, everything works fine, the Steam home screen works and the Steam interface too, but when I start a game, it only opens on the desktop and not in the HMD. I've looked everywhere for solutions, but haven't found any. I've tested it with all the games I own, the only one that works correctly is VRChat. Games like Metro: Awakening, No Man's Sky, The Walking Dead, etc., none of them work.

Hey, I'm trying to get Sea of Thieves to work through proton and I have no problem opening the game and navigating the menus. I have the game on Steam and tried multiple Proton versions (specifically Hotfix, Experimental, 9.0-4, aswell as Proton-GE (GE10-15 and 10-21).

My System:
Distro: Arch
Kernel: 6.17.5-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Steam: Installed with pacman

I have no problem logging into XBOX but as soon as I click play, it will kick me back out to the start screen after roughly 10 seconds with a Cyanbeard (error translates to "Connection to XBOX Network was interrupted, please check your internet connection") error.
During this time I am able to navigate the menus and even try to start a session, all my account data loads correctly like what guilds I'm in, guild ships etc..
If I manage to confirm my selection of wanting to go to a closed crew before the Cyanbeard kicks in, I will get a Coarsebeard (error translates to "Sea of Thieves could not create crew session") and get thrown out to the main screen again.

I have a suspicion that my symmetric nat type might be part of the problem, but I can't change it due to my ISP using Carrier Grade NAT and it not giving me a public ip address.
I have this suspicion because I remember having to do troubleshooting with Teredo Tunneling when I was still on Windows 10 to get XBOX sessions to work but I am unsure how I would achieve the same result here.
I have also tried disabling IPv6 with protontricks regedit, by adding a "DisabledComponents" DWORD in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters with the value FF, but that got me nowhere.

I have also tried relogging. When I choose log out in the main screen, and click play, it remembers my login and I just have to say yes to choose the displayed account. I have tried logging back out completely from that screen and re-entering my credentials but nothing has worked.

When I run steam via the terminal and set game launch options to PROTON_LOG=1 gamemoderun %command%, For me, the log seems fine but I'll include it anyways:

I'm reinstalling my distro and I've seen a few posts lately saying ext4 is better for games than brtfs. Is this true? Does anyone have actual experience with this? I use fed 42

I've recently migrated from Windows to Linux (Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS) while preserving all my user folders such as My Documents, Pictures, etc and migrating them to the EXT4 format, leaving them in a mounted secondary drive so that my main SSD wouldn't be cluttered with such data.

However, when I booted a game on Linux for the first time today, I realized that all my old data was missing. When I checked what was going on, I learned that, in case of the My Documents folder, Proton targets ~/.local/share/ by default instead of using the OS's definition, which would be XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR variable defined in the ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs file in my case.

Is there a way to make Proton target the user-defined folders instead of its predefined defaults?

i really hope i do not have to download those games again, internet is kinda pricy over here, someone said i can just add my windows steam library as an additional steam library on my linux, and other said i should move the game to ext4, how?

Anyone get FSR4 working with Arc Raiders? I have a 9070 XT and want to use it with FP8. I tried using Proton GE 10-24 but the game crashes shortly after startup.

My end goal is to take one of the various i3/i5 mini-PCs I've got laying around and set up a console-like experience that can use steam streaming from a gaming desktop, running some less intensive emulation locally, and a jellyfin client (not the server). Bazzite looks promising, but it appears the 'console-like' experience is not supported on intel UHD graphics. Is there one solution that fits for this use-case?
