LACT thermal controls 7900xt

22 Mar 2025 - 9:51pm

Iv had everything working just fine other than noticing that fan speeds don't line up with what is set. Using the default curve im going up to 80%+ fan speed at around 50c gpu temp and it gets loud. Iv manually set the curve to not go over 50% which seems fine for cooling but it still reads to be around 60% on the LACT historical graphs. Is this a, rdna3 bug still needing worked out?

GOG Batman Arkham City Issues

22 Mar 2025 - 9:47pm

GOAL: Play Arkham City in fullscreen with a wired PS4 controller.

PROBLEM: I use Heroic to launch Arkham City. When I launch using Wine Default, the settings launcher does not launch, Heroic goes straight to the game, my PS4 controller works but the game is in windowed mode and I cannot adjust settings. When I launch using Proton, the settings program launches first (as it should), and I can adjust the settings, but then my PS4 controller is not recognized.

If I launch the settings-launcher in a terminal I get this error:

0024:err:mscoree:CLRRuntimeInfo_GetRuntimeHost Wine Mono is not installed

So I installed Wine Mono using "apt install mono-complete". Reboot, same error. Removed using "apt remove mono-complete". I tried "apt install dotnet8", because I heard dotnet8 replaced mono, but I still get the same error.

I am using Mint 22.1 and wine 9.0.

Does anyone know how I can get Wine to launch the settings launcher?

Should i switch to linux?

22 Mar 2025 - 9:01pm

I'm considering switching because of privacy concerns and the crappy bloatware windows has, but i've never used linux. I've also heard it can be hard to run some games that have a strict anticheat, and i play a couple of those. I consider myself fairly competent in computers, so just worried about compatibility. Also would like some distro recommendations.

How do driver updates work?

22 Mar 2025 - 8:32pm

On Windows PC there usually is a new driver release for your GPU for big games like AC Shadows. Which I got for my AMD card under windows. I tried playing Shadows under Linux but the performance is way worse and choppy on my 7900XT compared to when under windows. But since there is no Adrenaline or Linux Drivers how would I get the update for my distro? Mint rn with proton GE and Kisak Mesa drivers.

Steam Crashing after GNOME 48/Nvidia Driver update

22 Mar 2025 - 8:11pm

EDIT: RESOLVED

Needed to update the FlatPak NVIDIA drivers. I ran flatpak update like twice earlier but no update did it again just a min ago and everything works again

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey all,
I was excited to try out GNOME 48 with it's new HDR feature for gaming but after upgrading my system Steam will open then close immediately after.

I noticed during the upgrade that my NVIDIA drivers also upgraded too which "could" be the issue?
I have these errors I gathered from journalctl.

Mar 22 18:46:43 archlinux steam\[7155\]: MESA: error: CreateSwapchainKHR failed with VK\_ERROR\_INITIALIZATION\_FAILED Mar 22 18:46:43 archlinux steam\[7155\]: MESA: error: zink: could not create swapchain Mar 22 18:46:43 archlinux steam\[7155\]: X Error of failed request: GLXBadCurrentWindow Mar 22 18:46:43 archlinux steam\[7155\]: Major opcode of failed request: 150 (GLX) Mar 22 18:46:43 archlinux steam\[7155\]: Minor opcode of failed request: 11 (X\_GLXSwapBuffers) Mar 22 18:46:43 archlinux steam\[7155\]: Serial number of failed request: 215 Mar 22 18:46:43 archlinux steam\[7155\]: Current serial number in output stream: 215 Mar 22 18:46:43 archlinux steam\[7155\]: Steam Runtime Launch Service: starting steam-runtime-launcher-service Mar 22 18:46:43 archlinux steam\[7155\]: Steam Runtime Launch Service: steam-runtime-launcher-service is running pid 236 Mar 22 18:46:43 archlinux steam\[7155\]: bus\_name=com.steampowered.PressureVessel.LaunchAlongsideSteam

If anyone has come across this before and figured out a solution please lmk

Gaming on Linux: Why the controversy?

22 Mar 2025 - 7:30pm

Hello All!

I recently joined the Linux community as a grew tired of windows and I realized that the games I actually enjoyed playing were playable on Linux. Anyways one thing that I have been struggling with a lot is dealing with friend/people who make fun of the fact that I run Linux and that games that they play/want me to play do not run on Linux.

My question I guess would be do you deal with something similar/ have you in the past? Why do you enjoy gaming on Linux as a main operating system?

Thank you in advance for your replies!

Custom resolutions in Wayland

22 Mar 2025 - 6:50pm

I use a CRT Monitor and a script to use xrandr to set my custom resolution at login. I would like to switch to gnome or KDE Plasma, but I haven't been able to figure out setting a custom resolution in Wayland.

Has any one had much luck getting custom resolutions to work in Wayland? Has anyone got custom resolutions to work using boot parameters? I haven't. Should I stick to X11?

New to Linux, issue's with Death Stranding.

22 Mar 2025 - 6:27pm

Hey there, I recently moved to Linux and a relative beginner with it. Decided to install Mint, as it seemed a nice distro to start with.

My main problem is I have began installing some of my games again and Death Stranding Director's Cut is the only game out of the 6 I have installed that has been giving me some issues. I had a look on ProtonDB and it was Gold rated which sounded great and a number of the comments said it worked out of the box.

When I launch it I will get this error. I have tried changing Proton versions, even used ProtonUp-QT to install Proton GE and it will be the same regardless. But when this error comes up and the game closes. The game will then load up fine after a few attempts without changing anything.

All I know is it's something to do with vulkan, but not sure what to do about it. Other than the annoyance of having to try a few times before it will successfully load in, I can live with it. Just trying to understand what the error is, thanks for any insight.

OS: Linux Mint 22.1

KERNEL: 6.8.0-55-generic

CPU: Intel Core i7-8086K @ 4.00GHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

DRIVER: NVIDIA 550.120

RAM: 32 GB

Can't switch to dGPU in Lutris

22 Mar 2025 - 5:37pm

Hello,

I'm currently facing a problem where I cannot play a game using my Dedicated GPU, it launches with my integrated GPU. I've installed the wine dependencies and drivers. When I go to the global settings and try to change the default GPU, it's grayed out. (as provided in the screenshot)

Note that I am using a laptop with two GPUs, one dGPU which is NVIDIA GTX 1650, and another iGPU radeon graphics series

If you need any additional information, just let me know.

Additional Information:
Desktop: Hyprland
Lutris is installed a regular system package, not using Flatpak.

(I use Arch, BTW)

EDIT: Added more additional information

newer kernels dont support lvds on AMD?

22 Mar 2025 - 5:35pm

I cannot get a new kernel to work on my laptop. Display always fails with the error

[drm:amdgpu_atombios_get_connector_info_from_object_table [amdgpu]] ERROR invalid con_obj_id 22 for device tag 0x0002

This bug causes amdgpu to not detect the lvds output and thus makes the laptop unusable. This is Debian Trixie. AMD BONAIRE.

Reverting to linux 6.8 works, so the hardware IS functional. I have not tested 6.9-6.11. I am attempting to upgrade straight from 6.8 to 6.12.

Does anybody know how i can fix this? Google has nothing.

Redragon software for linux?

22 Mar 2025 - 5:23pm

Hello! Idk if I'm right here with my problem but I got the Redragon ranger lite M910-KS (wired dual) mouse today but I can't quite figure out, how to change the settings/use the software on linux.

I ran the software through Lutris with wine and the program itself is running just fine. Tho, it's always saying "no device"...

Anyone can help? Or know where I could find any? :,)

Intel AX200 bluetooth

22 Mar 2025 - 5:18pm

Hola

Is there anybody out there with motherboard that uses Intel AX200 as a wifi/bluetooth card?

Could you check something out for me (want to rule out my hardware).

Is bluetooth module detected for you and working? Mine for some reason is not detected by Linux, so far tried out Arch, Debian, Fedora and Bluefin/Bazzite.
