Need help lowering resolution of a game
Hi everyone, new linux user here and I installed mint a couple of days ago. I have some free games on epic games launcher so I have decided to install heroic launcher to run them. The problem is that I have a potato laptop with integrated graphics, so when I try running the game "wolfenstein new order", I get about 30 fps which is barely playable. The lowest possible resolution through in-game settings is 1280p. Now I have tried a few settings like installing gamescope but I wasn't successful. Heroic says they can't find a compatible version of gamescope on my system. I also tried "emulate a virtual desktop" through wine config setting which does run the game in the resolution I set it to and it's buttery smooth, but the problem is that it opens in a small window and I cannot make it fullscreen. My screen's native res is 1920x1080p.
Help would be much appreciated and please keep in mind I know little to nothing about linux so I need a simple explanation. I don't even know what flatpaks are to be honest

I've build a Steam Machine that runs on PS5 hardware
Link to the build video: https://youtu.be/x_8qHucPnIo?si=80mdG3YbWEoVkLZE
I have used the AMD BC-250, it's basically a PS5 board with 2 fewer cores and 12 CUs (essentially, it has 70% of the power of a PS5), and installing SteamOS on it via Bazzite works like a charm, all for less than €250 including the controller (I 3D printed the case, it's a custom design).
The video also includes some benchmarks :)

CtrlAssist v0.3.0: Controller Assist for gaming on Linux
Announcing the release of CtrlAssist v0.3.0, which introduces significant new features and usability improvements. CtrlAssist brings "controller assist" functionality to Linux gaming by allowing multiple physical controllers to operate as a single virtual input device. This enables collaborative play and customizable gamepad setups, making it easier for players of all ages and abilities to enjoy games together.
Major Features System Tray InterfaceThis release introduces a graphical system tray application that provides desktop integration for managing controller multiplexing. Users can now:
- Configure primary and assist controller assignments via dropdown menus
- Start and stop the mux without using the command line
- Adjust settings through a context menu interface
- Receive desktop notifications for status changes
- Persist configuration across sessions
The tray interface supports live reconfiguration of device-invariant settings (mux mode and rumble target) while the mux is running.
Multiple Hiding StrategiesController hiding now supports three distinct strategies:
- None: No hiding, manual configuration required
- Steam: Automatically manages Steam's controller blacklist via config.vdf modification
- System: Restricts device permissions system-wide (requires root access)
The Steam hiding strategy enables proper functionality in sandboxed environments without requiring elevated privileges, addressing a key limitation for Flatpak users.
Live Runtime UpdatesThe mux runtime now supports dynamic reconfiguration without restart for:
- Mux mode changes (Priority, Average, Toggle)
- Rumble target adjustments (Primary, Assist, Both, None)
This functionality is available through both the system tray and programmatic (D-BUS) interfaces, allowing users to adapt behavior during gameplay sessions.
Flatpak DistributionCtrlAssist is now packaged as a Flatpak application with:
- Automated GitHub Actions workflow for release builds
- Desktop entry and metainfo for application catalogs
- Proper sandbox permissions for device access
- Support for Steam configuration modifications within the sandbox
Flatpak bundles are automatically built and attached to GitHub releases.
Additional Improvements- Configuration persistence to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ctrlassist/config.toml
- Controller selection by name with best-effort matching across sessions
- Enhanced documentation with installation instructions for both Cargo and Flatpak
- New pixel art banner and application icon (via Aseprite)
- Improved force feedback device recovery after disconnection
- Better error handling and user feedback throughout the application
CtrlAssist v0.3.0 can be installed via:
- Cargo: cargo install ctrlassist --force
- Flatpak: Download the bundle from the releases page and install with flatpak install
Full installation instructions are available in the README.
Breaking ChangesThe --hide flag now requires an enum value (none, steam, system) instead of being a boolean flag. Users upgrading from v0.2.x should update their scripts accordingly:
- Previous: ctrlassist mux --hide
- Current: ctrlassist mux --hide system

Football Life/PES 2021 Linux Resolution Selector by Razor_AMG
Hi everyone,
For Linux players, here is the new version of the resolution selector for Football Life/PES 2021,
As you must know, if you play on linux (SteamOS, Bazzite, ChimeraOS or other...), it is impossible to change the game’s resolution, the settings.exe does not save the changes after closing the tool.
To solve this problem, I created settings.dat files for each resolution from Windows directly, all you have to do is replace the settings.dat file in your/KONAMI folder, I added all the most used resolutions in windowed and full screen mode, they all use 60FPS for gameplay and Replay, and Xinput for the controller (mandatory for Steam).
Resolution available in Windowed mode:
- 720p
- 800p
- 900p
- 1080p
- 1440p
Resolution available in Full Screen mode:
- 768p
- 1080p
- 1440p
- 2160p
It works for Football Life and PES 2021, I did not try for eFootball from the Steam Store but I think they kept the same file, please share it and let me know if it also works for eFootball.
Enjoy!

Problem with optiscaler
I'm trying to play Ghost of Tsushima on Bazzite using OptiScaler. Everything seems fine, but when I launch the game, I get this screen saying it can't detect my GPU. If I accept it, everything works, and I get better results than with the FSR3 that comes with the game. I'm using a Radeon 780M. Does anyone know how to fix this? It's annoying having to change the controller settings every time I launch the game.

Worth it to switch to linux?
Hi everyone, I have been out of gaming for a few years, and few days ago built a new gaming pc. I installed win 11, and ran into this subreddit. So now I wonder would there be a big performance increase on my ryzen 5 9600x and 9070xt if I switch to linux?

I fixed VR controller tracking in MSFS2020 on Proton (my first code contribution to the Proton project!)
Been wanting to contribute to Proton for a while and finally found a bug I could actually fix.
MSFS2020's VR controllers would spawn at your headset and refuse to track. After some digging through Wine debug logs, found that xrConvertWin32PerformanceCounterToTimeKHR in wineopenxr was stubbed as unimplemented. Games call QueryPerformanceCounter for timing and need to convert that to XrTime for pose prediction. Without it, the runtime gets 0x0 as the timestamp and can't predict where your controllers should be.
30 lines of code. Cost me 64GB of RAM overnight because building Proton is absolutely insane. Crashed my entire DE. Worth it.
Bonus: this also completes the last unimplemented functions in wineopenxr's openxr_loader.c.
PR: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/pull/9347
Prebuilt Bins in case you want to test it: https://github.com/PhialsBasement/Proton/releases/tag/msfs-fix
If anyone else has been wanting to contribute but feels intimidated, just find a bug that pisses you off enough. That's apparently all the motivation you need.

Used RX 5700XT 1080p gaming
Hello:)
I currently have an old GTX 1070. I'm in the process of transitioning to linux, but I've heard how the pascal generation of cards tend to struggle with DX12, as well as having poor driver support (nvidea in general).
I'm considering upgrading my GPU, but prices are fairly high in my country. I can get a new RX 7600 (non XT) for about $340, or a used RX 5700XT for about $220.
The 7600 is a little out of my budget, but it would be doable after saving for a little longer.
The main thing I'm concerned about is the risk of buying a 2nd hand GPU that's isn't under warranty.
Since I'm playing on 1080p, I'm not super concerned about performance differences, but a newer card, with better support and a warranty might give the 7600 the edge.
I would appreciate any insight veterans of the space might have :) Thank you

Game won't launch anymore
Hey, I'm currently playing The Knightling on Steam. Game worked fine yesterday but this morning when I launch it, it stucks on the editor logo screen and I have to force quit.
The only thing I did is enabling resizable BAR and above 4G decoding in my BIOS. I went back to disable them but the game still gets stuck.
I tried using a different compatibility layer, using X11 instead of Wayland, launching through Heroic instead of Steam but it's always the same result.
I added PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to get a crash log but it's very long.
This line comes the most :
1529.320:0148:014c:trace:unwind:RtlGrowFunctionTable 000000007017E7A0
With this one sometimes inbetween :
1529.320:0148:014c:trace:unwind:RtlAddGrowableFunctionTable 000000007026BE08, 00000000702CE6C0, 0, 513, 70be0000, 70bf0000

D7VK 1.1 adds experimental Direct3D 6 support for classic PC games on Linux
Should I change GPU?
Hi the question is pretty simple but it's not an easy answer.
I currently have an rtx 4070s and I switched to Manjaro a few weeks ago. I obviously noticed a loss in performance for DirectX games, the question is should I switch to an RX 9700-xt? I can buy one for around 600 euros and I think that I will be able to sell the 4070s pretty easily (given also the rumors of Nvidia cutting production). So what do you think? Is the upgrade in performance that noticeable?
