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 Problem is, I find only outdated information so I would like to know if there is a place where to look everything that's available.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?

Hi

I'm a Linux noob still, so I don't know all the tricks yet. One of the big hurdles I had for switching to Linux was that my games wouldn't run, but seems a lot changed there in the last few years. And I gotta say, so far it's been smooth gaming. Maybe I had to set a flag different or change the Proton version, but I usually got the game to run within a few minutes.

Not so this. Been trying to get God of War Ragnarök to run for the last two days or so.

First God of War ran perfectly, so I didn't even consider that this one wouldn't.

So I did buy it from the Epic Store, because it was discounted and I had just finished the other GoW and wanted to continue the story and not wait for the Steam winter sale. Might have been my mistake, I'm not sure.

Anyway, I installed the Heroic launcher and that allowed me to install GoWR without issue, but when I started it... Not so much.

I basically getting these messages:
[Playstation PC SDK Runtime is missing](https://imgur.com/2mR461q)

[PSPC Error: SDK Initilization](https://imgur.com/iYDoZ4p)

I searched here, and seems others had those issues too but always found ways to solve it.

I tried running it in Steam, adding the SteamDeck=1 %command%, that doesn't change anything.

I tried adding the nopssdk files from https://github.com/dandykong/nopssdk?tab=readme-ov-file but that didn't do anything either.

It doesn't seem to matter if I start it via Steam or Heroic, or add the command line stuff or not, or have the files there or not. Doesn't matter if I use Wine or Proton.

I tried installing the install_pspc_sdk_runtime.bat as it said, and could only manage that under Wine. I tried using Protontricks, but that crashes and won't do it. (Not sure I was doing it right). But even under Wine it just gets rid of the first error message, the second one is still present.

Anyway, is there hope for me? Right now I can still get a refund from Epic since i didn't actually play the game yet, and I'm getting more and more tempted to do so, and then buy it on Steam on the next sale.

Also, I still have a Windows 10 install, where I could run the game, but I don't see how that would fix the issue under Linux. Also I wanna get rid of Windows in the long run, so I need to learn to fix that stuff with Linux.

Hello guys,

I just finished my Steam page for my game Adversator, you can take a look at its Wishlist page here.
And thought i could drop a little message on r/Linux_gaming as the game will be available on Linux, and most important, it has been made on Linux (Mint)!
Tell me what you think !
Thanks

I'm gathering some info before creating a nobara linux install (probably somewhere this or next week). I am currently GPU bottlenecked quite a bit playing with a 9600x and 6700XT at 1440p. For some games (e.g. ark ascended) to get decent visual smoothness I enable FSR framegen and then enable the anti lag in adrenalin software to compensate a bit for the added input lag from framegen. I have been looking if there is an equivalent to driver level anti lag on linux (because the game itself doesn't have a native anti lag option) but couldn't really find a clear answer that I was able to understand. I saw earlier that mesa 25.3 added "Vulkan AMD Anti Lag Support", but it's not clear to me if this is about a driver level antilag (e.g. anti lag 1) or the improved anti lag that requires the game to support it (anti lag 2), and how it would work with the DX12->vulkan translation done by proton.

Games like Fortnite block antichet from running on Linux, does this happen in Warzone?

So i was trying out how to do this with gamescope. I is having issues.

First which commands are the ones to do this with?

I have tested these: gamescope -f -w 3840 -h 2160 -- %command% and gamescope -w 2560 -h 1440 -W 1920 -H 1080 -f -- %command%

the issue is my mouse sensitivity goes berserk like light speed fast. Settings dont have an affect.

Maybe i am doing this wrong, also am i supposed to set in game resolution to 1080p or 1440p/4k when using 2nd command if that is the right one.

The game i tested it on was Batman Arkham Knight.

There seems to be quite a few different commands but they are old. It would be nice to be able to make this consistently work on games.

CachyOS, KDE, 9070xt. If that info is needed.

Hi everyone.

Over the past year I have been having difficulties with AMD's GPUs and I'm a bit tired now, hah, so I want your help.

I'm using EndevourOS (basically archlinux with some theming), linux-lts kernel (earlier used stable "linux" kernel, got same), KDE on Wayland, Steam from arch repo (runtime), mesa from repo (not git), latest proton 9 (tried experimental/hotfix). HW: Asrock B450 Steel Legend+R7 5700G+RX6900XT(tried RX7600)+Kingston KC3000 NVMe (tried same GPU+NVMe on absolutely different platform: R9 5900X+Asus Rog X570)

Currently I can reproduce amdgpu crashing in Dead By Daylight if i switch characters very quickly or play Forza Horizon 5. About a year ago I had troubles in "The Finals", but now it seems fixed. Also I had crashes in Far Cry 5 when VRAM was nearly full, but it was likely fixed when I switched to linux-lts kernel.

I have no issues while running OCCT/Furmark under linux or running these games under windows. I tried resetting bios and disabling XMP profile, I tried checking filesystem (btrfs) - it even found 2 errors in shadercache files. I tried cleaning entirely steamapps/shadercache folder and ~/.cache/mesa_shader_cache folder. I tried different feature masks (disable GFXOFF). I tried enabling ReBar in BIOS, disabling iGPU, no luck. I tried switching between RADV and amd opensource drivers (fun fact: I was using amd vulkan drivers all the time, which was discontinued, and that was the reason why I got heavy stutters in Borderlands 2, so check if you use RADV if you are getting stutters)

dmesg almost always says about illegal register access, no matter on RX6900 or RX7600:

Nov 11 23:45:45 kernel: [drm:gfx_v10_0_priv_reg_irq [amdgpu]] *ERROR* Illegal register access in command stream Nov 11 23:45:45 kernel: amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: Dumping IP State Nov 11 23:45:45 kernel: amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: Dumping IP State Completed Nov 11 23:45:45 kernel: amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: ring gfx_0.0.0 timeout, signaled seq=1269950, emitted seq=1269952 Nov 11 23:45:45 kernel: amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: Process information: process ForzaHorizon5.e pid 24612 thread vkd3d_queue pid 25237 Nov 11 23:45:45 kernel: amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: GPU reset begin!

I tried cleaning steamapps/shadercache folder of Forza and got error from Wine at moment where game was crashing earlier:

Assertion failed! File: ../src-wine/dlls/winevulkan/loader_thunks.c Line: 5888 Expression: "!status && vkQueuePresentKHR"

But on the second run there was no error, but there was crash.

Dead by daylight seems to be fixed after I chose Proton 9 instead of Proton Experimental/Hotfix, but I'm not sure that if was fixed, at least now I can't reproduce bug.

I tried running DBD on year-old arch installation (I had system that was updated in november 2024), but bug was there.

When I had RX7600, sometime lowering GPU clocks down to 1000-1400 MHz helped, but not always.

I don't understand, where is problem exacly? Is this Wine(Proton), Mesa or amdgpu drivers? Is there something that I can try, or what can I report?

I'm confused because game crashes entire desktop: all monitors freeze and kde is recovering desktop after GPU drivers crash. I think this should not happen because of userspace apps, only if something very wrong happened.

Am I the only one, who encounter that, or am I doing something wrong? Considering that I changed the entire platform and GPU, looks like it is not hardware problem.

After trying several distro's in combination with my games, I ended up with below distro.

Suddenly all my games are running out of the box ?!
