Im running a laptop with the ryzen 5 pro 4650U on linux mint and i have issues on TF2, the FPS is usually stable but there are some cases where it drops slightly, not a complete FPS tank but still a bit of a inconvenience, i dont think its a hardware issue as this laptop isnt much behind from my desktop which i currently dont have access to because i live in a dorm right now and that desktop runs TF2 perfectly
my best guess is that its something about linux or maybe AMD hardware though i doubt it
i have seen that sometimes it gives me the option to choose what DX version to play on and if i remember correctly the newer ones simply made it so it wont run, i get stuck on the loading screen for entire minutes and i dont see any way to get out of it besides restarting

Hey, you guys! I'm currently working on a modded playthrough of the original Baldur's Gate trilogy. I usually did this on Windows, but had recently switched to Ubuntu 24.04. After a lot of headscratching and trial and error, I got most of the setup done. But my issue lies with the BG1NPC Project mod. I tried putting it through WeiDU but I keep getting this message:

/mnt/modbox/bgee$ weinstall bg1npc

weidu --log "setup-bg1npc.debug" "bg1npc/bg1npc.tp2"

[weidu] WeiDU version 25000

ERROR: Unable to find DIALOG.TLK in:

Please run this program in your Infinity Engine game directory.

FATAL ERROR: Failure("Unable to find DIALOG.TLK")

If anyone can help me with this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hello everyone, ​I am playing on Manjaro (Wayland) and building a multiboxing setup to run 4 instances of a game on one screen, controlled by a single gamepad. ​1. What currently works (Native games): I have a bash script that perfectly handles Native Linux games (like Albion Online). It creates a "sandbox" for local users (test1, test2, etc.) using sudo -u and gamescope. See script logic below:

sudo -u test1 -H env ... gamescope -w 1920 -h 1080 -- /path/to/native/game

This works great: inputs are cloned, windows are isolated. ​2. What currently works (Proton games manual launch): I discovered that I can launch multiple instances of a Proton game (e.g., Frostpunk, AppID 323190) on my main user account using this command:

protontricks -c 'cd "/path/to/game/" && wine Frostpunk.exe' 323190

This bypasses the Steam client check effectively for my needs. ​The Question: I am struggling to combine these two methods. I need to run the Proton/Wine command inside the isolated user environment (Step 1). ​Since protontricks relies on the main user's Steam paths and prefixes, simply pasting the command into the sudo -u test1 block fails. ​What is the correct way to script this? ​Should I point the other users to the main user's WINEPREFIX? ​How do I execute the protontricks logic (or raw wine command) inside gamescope for a different user (test1) so it uses the correct Proton environment? ​I would appreciate any advice from those who have experience with gamescope + Proton scripting or multiboxing on Linux.

Is there something like shaderglass on linux? I cam across vkbasalt for games using goverlay, but is there something like it for the whole desktop?

I'm on kde cachyos wayland

Cross-Posting for hopefully some advice.

Thank you in advance for any guidance on this weird quirk with the Xbox Controller discoverable on the PC with Linux Mint but not discoverable on the exact same PC with Bazzite.

Hi, y'all.

I'm trying to launch eufloriaHD on Steam using Linux Mint 22.2.

Current resolution is 1920 as per, but when I launch the game, the whole system drops to 640.

I've included screenshots to show what I mean, and I've used Terminal to get everything back to normal, but I still can't play the game.

Any ideas?

First off, here is the case: https://www.thingiverse.com/make:1249298

I have made some modifications to mine, mostly in terms of slight scaling increase to fit my PSU, modifying the front panel to accept my power button, and cut down the original fan shroud/mount smaller so that you can actually see the BC-250 itself which was otherwise 95% hidden behind it. There's been no change in thermals and if anything it's better.

This case has an awesome design to route some of the air behind the board to cool the ram and vent out the top of the other side of the case. It effectively vents air on 3 sides - front, rear, opposite side. With a 2ghz OC on the GPU, max temps under max GPU and CPU load was about 81C, but in games like Cyberpunk 2077, observed temps are like 61C.

Overall I'm really happy with the way this project came out and the BC-250 itself is a hell of a lot of fun to play with.

Currently running official SteamOS which has been fine so far. Aside from the 2ghz OC, any other tweaks that any of you think are worth exploring?

(Using Linux Nobara)

I have got Roblox working with sober but want a way to have multiple accounts logged in and be able to launch them

Ideally I would be able to run multiple instances simultaneously

Game is Malware Tycoon on Steam if anyone's interested. I started using Linux full-time maybe about 6 months ago, so instead of switching to Windows (🤢) to compile test builds, I figured I may as well just give the game full on Linux support.

Wuthering waves keeps crashing

Hello , I switched to Linux yesterday and did some tweaks to start playing on my laptop ( pretty old but functional and the game worked on it before ) but when trying to start the game it gives me this error and randomly closes . So does anyone know how to fix this proplem . Some things that may help 1) the game worked on windows on the launcher not steam

2) my current proton is GE-Proton10-28

I have arch linux and proton experimental
