How good is Sober? Can you use your normal Roblox account? And, is there any risks that if you use your old account, you get banned or lose progress?

As there is limited discussion on this topic, two weeks ago, vkd3d-proton merged a change that disabled all types of emulation paths for FP8 that made it possible for RDNA2/3 to run the "official" FSR4 model. Note that this does not affect people running the leaked INT8 model or other modified DLLs.

This decision is above my paygrade and it's done to work toward being able to support FSR4 more officially in Proton.

Custom builds of vkd3d will be required going forward for anyone who wants to use the FP8 model on older hardware. I'm unsure if the main forks (GE/EM/cachyos) already do this so they may be unaffected.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been happily using Linux for over 6 months now, and overall it’s been an amazing experience. But there’s one issue that’s honestly driving me insane: constant stuttering in games, especially when moving the mouse.

I’m currently on Fedora 43 (previously 42). My system specs:

• RTX 4090
• i9-10900K
• 64 GB RAM
• 144Hz G-Sync monitor

The stutter happens in several games — for example, Atomic Heart and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. When I boot into Windows, everything runs perfectly smooth, no stutter at all.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

• Lowered mouse polling rate to 500Hz (and below)
• Disabled mouse acceleration
• Enabled VRR
• Updated from Fedora 42 → 43
• Using the latest Proton GE build
• Running Steam RPM version instead of Flatpak

Everything else works great, but this mouse-related stutter completely ruins the experience. It’s honestly getting to the point where it’s hard to enjoy gaming anymore, and I really don’t want to go back to Windows after six amazing months on Linux.

Does anyone know how I can troubleshoot this further or if there are known fixes for mouse-induced stuttering on Fedora/NVIDIA setups?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Just like in tittle, I can't find these options anywhere. I've tried to run the game using `proton-hotfix`, `proton-experimental` and my default `GE-proton`. None of these had the option to enable FG/AL. I've also tried changing from full screen to borderless. Is this issue connected to the "AMD Driver version" issue?

I was trying to play marvel rivals (Ubuntu 25.10, GNOME 49.0, Mutter Wayland) and if i try to turn my character ie move my mouse an amount that would traditionally move it outside the game window and press the right mouse button the cursor leaves the game and jumps to whatever other monitor it now decided that it was on. This is, as one can image, very annoying and i wondered if anyone has had any issues like this before or knows something that could possibly solve it.

For reference i have tried proton GE and normal proton with Automatically capture the mouse in full-screen mode enabled. to no luck. This is also present in other games like ready or not but due to the gameplay it is less of an issue

... without installing any third-party tools like Lutris or Heroic Launcher.

Every game on Steam that requires Ubisoft Connect installs it separately. That means overhead and it does not save settings.

Is there a way to make these games launch a Prefix that has Ubisoft Connect already installed?

Thanks to all of the playtesters from this subreddit, Pitchforks and Daggers will launch on Steam with a native Linux build on November 19.

Thank you!

It's horrendously slow I have a bad GPU and cpu but on windows I would get usually 40-60+ fps but on sober it's around 15-5, I enabled opengl but that bugs a LOT of games out just to not even be as fast as windows.. Isn't it supposed to be faster?

I released a new version of Zordeer, version 0.3, and a new version of Meganimus, version 0.2.

Zordeer is a launcher for games that run via Wine/Proton.

Meganimus, on the other hand, is a launcher for native and emulator games, and it's simpler, serving to have a more organized library.

The main additions were the grid view mode as shown in the image, the function to transfer images based on the added items, and a .desktop shortcut manager.

Hi guys, I was working on a linux release for the tool called VRAMr (Skyrim Fallout 4). Unfortunately, I was not able to make it fully native to linux. As most tools seem to struggle with resizing DDS files and going to the BC7 format. The only thing that is required is Wine. And as of right now it is only doing Skyrim atm! But I will be adding FO4 support and proton detection for those who can't install wine.

I tried to follow closely as possible to VRAMr, but I had to make adjustments because of MO2's VFS.

Please share results if possible, thanks!

I have a 4080S in my windows PC but I've been having fun distro hopping lately so I traded in my 3080ti for a 9070XT at Newegg to get the full experience on Linux.

Once I settle in on a distro I'll install bare metal as right now I'm using VMs on Proxmox with GPU passthrough. Current contenders are Bazzite, Nobara and CachyOS.

I'm sure made for windows 10 games will work for a long time on future windows os and hardware, but games which run the best on windows 7 and pre 7, performance wise, especially with mods and cheat engines and compatibility, can they run just as well on wine for example?

I only play older games and have no interest in future games. So am i fucked or will it smooth sailing?

Is this a common thing with this kind of games? I dont have much games, and the ones i have are either native or really lightweight so i never encounter this.
Last night i decided to play and was hit with a succession of multiple downloads, all related to shaders. Im using proton GE 10-20 for this game, im not sure it its related to that or its something that applies to all games with Proton.
Its really annoying having to download 10+ GB of shaders

Hey there! My teenager era was basically playing all FOSS games available and I want to ride that horse again. Problem is, I find only outdated information so I would like to know if there is a place where to look everything that's available. If not, we can try to make one by ourselves, what do you think?

I may have found a way to play GTA:online using Linux and proton. It has a few caveats. The biggest being public lobbies are mostly not accessible. However by making this configuration change I've been able to get multiplayer missions to work locally with my wife.

I'm hesitant to share all of the details because I don't want to land a ban from R*. I will say anyone with knowledge of how to read a .cfg and set up network level firewall rules should be able to find exactly what enabled this after a few minutes of looking in the GTAV local directory.

Yes you still need to install the batteye Linux runtime and point your installation at it as a launch option in steam.

I guess the point of this is that if enough of us use port forwarding/triggering to change what port we are on, I feel like we could have Linux public lobbies. It's a big risk for a ban I feel like battleye may be able to catch it, but it might be worth a look to be able to play the game we all paid for.

I just bought a pair of wireless headphones (JBL Quantum 360 Wireless) that work through a USB-dongle, and sound is working fine on both of my linux computers out of the box, but if I launch a Steam game through Proton, suddenly I have no sound system wide until I close the game.

Anyone have experience with this or any tips on debugging it?
