Advise for Logitech G502 Hero key mapping software

21 Mar 2025 - 12:37am

Just switch from Windows 10 to Pop!_OS. Could someone recommend some software for my mouse that will let me assign keys and has sensitivity control?

PSA: It seems the open nvidia kernel modules don't work with vkd3d, at least on hybrid laptops.

21 Mar 2025 - 12:03am

At the very least, they don't seem to work with marvel rivals. Note that I'm talkign about the open modules from nvidia, not nouveau. When using the open modules I get the warning on marvel rivals that directx12 is not supported regardless of what environment variables I set, including force vk vendor. But going back to the fully proprietary ones, it works just fine. Hopefully this is fixable, just wanted to get the word out. Note that I'm using a hybrid laptop, I don't know if it's the same issue with a standalone nvidia card.

AMD 9800x3d no power and temp readings

20 Mar 2025 - 11:29pm

I was able to upgrade my rig with a new asus rog strix x870 motherboard and a 9800x3d cpu, but when i run sensors detect, it says i have no sensors at all, i read that forcing to load the k10temp module would fix it, but it didnt worked for me, what else should i try?

Mouse Acceleration / Raw Accel Alternative

20 Mar 2025 - 11:28pm

This might not be the best place for this but it's the best I could think of.

I'm looking for something that can be used as an alternative for Raw Accel.

I've seen a few things that people have mentioned but they're all really old post and I both want to check if there is something new/better and also last time I tried to install a leetmouse driver it caused my mouse to be unable to move and I had no way to fix it lol

RDR2 says my other apps take crazy amounts of VRAM for some reason

20 Mar 2025 - 10:49pm

Since I switched my GPU from 4060 to 7900 GRE I've been having minor issues with RDR2, some random freezes and small frame drops, but I blame that on my Mint and I'm already planning to switch OSes. I don't think that's what the thing causing my problems, but sometimes where I'm in specific graphics-heavy areas I'm unable to change some settings because of too high settings or something. I have no idea what it depends on, although I've noticed that the amount "used" by other apps is very close to the total amount of VRAM used, making me think the game calculates it by adding the games video memory usage to it, which maybe would be fine but it also displays total VRAM used by adding RDR2 and other apps usage, pretty much doubling it. Again, it doesn't cause much trouble. just being unable to switch out graphics options sometimes, but this is very weird and would want to know why it happens. Is there something that could be making my RDR2 behave like that? Back with my 4060 there was no problem like that. I can provide more information about my build/OS if you need. Thanks a lot and wish you a happy day

I completely ditched windows 10/11 but not because of an ideology or free software

20 Mar 2025 - 10:36pm

But because windows 11 is not really usable out of the box anymore with system requirements and ad's and shit installed every where. i love that proton has come so far and i can play basically all the games i want using zorin 17 and nvidia everything just works out of box. protondb is great when deciding what games to purchase. I can understand why some devs don't port to linux distros but they have no excuse to not get it working or playable with proton.

Games freeze after certain actions in games

20 Mar 2025 - 9:53pm

Hello reddit, I think I might be losing it at this point.
I am using a GPD win max 2 with a AMD 7840U inside. My OS is EndevourOS (Arch btw) and I mainly use KDE plasma as my DE for gaming.

*The scenario is this*

- I boot the game

- The game loads fast like it normally does

- I start to run around in the game, every thing working fine

- I for example enter combat, start a running animation, enter a new level and the game window freezes. Not just the game window but some other windows as well, like handheld daemon that I use for TDP controls, but the music is still coming from the game. The rest of the system is working fine and I can just try to close the window, then it will gray out and say that it is not responding.

*Things i've tried to troubleshoot*

- Ive tried both X11 and Wayland, same issue on both

- Ive tried to force another AMD driver (swapping amdvlk to radv)

- Ive tried both in window and fullscreen for the games

- Ive tried many versions of proton, both official and GE

- Ive tried to play the games on windows just to see if it is a hardware issue but there they work fine

- Ive tried another DE (Hyprland)

- Ive tried different TDP settings, with and without TDP boost, as well as different GPU clocks

The thing is, it doesn't happen to all the games I play, but a lot of them have this issue.

Some games that work fine are:

- Kingdom come deliverance 2

- Persona 5

- Enshrouded

Games that have the issue:

- Grapple dog

- Death stranding

- LoZ TOTK emulated on suyu

I don't know what to do at this point and I really need you guys help to save my gaming

diagonal black screen?

20 Mar 2025 - 9:45pm

Hello, I am new to linux, new to games, new to pretty much everything, so let me know if there's another sub that would be better suited to this. I just got AC Odyssey from steam working after getting proton and winetricks and ubisoft connect figured out, which took a couple days process on its own.

The game has been working and playing perfectly for a couple days, but today just started this problem. A perfect diagonal across the screen blacks out half of the display. I'm still able to click menu options, but the problem persists no matter what resolution is set and whether I'm full screen or windowed. I've tried restarting both the game and computer several times, but nothing seems to do the trick.

Any advice is welcome, thank you!

AC Shadow's consensus

20 Mar 2025 - 9:36pm

I am wanting to know how others systems are going with the game. I notices my system is having hardtime maintain a stable 60 FPS in some parts

I have

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X

AMD Radeon RX-6600XT 8GB

32 GB RAM

I also have it installed on HDD so I may move it to an SSD just not enough space

Maybe there is a driver i missed for AMD which i should see on AMD's site Wondering if anyone else having performance issues or just me because in certain parts it runs smoothly

Every time I open a game it uses the AMD Radeon Vega Graphics instead of the RX460, how do i fix this?

Cyberpunk 2077 freezes on intro screen

20 Mar 2025 - 9:00pm

I'm lost for solutions. Googling mostly gives windows specific answers or small fixes that didn't work for me.

I just bought CP2077, obviously no mods or anything. no DLC, fresh install on steam.

Other games work fine.

I'm on linux mint, GTX 1070 and ryzen 2600. 16gb ram (but low freq like 2400)

I've tried launch options to skip launcher and intro, doesn't help.

I'll hear the music but it will always freeze when the logo is fading in

Is it worth the switch to CachyOS?

20 Mar 2025 - 8:58pm

I am currently running arch linux, but i am using Cachy's kernel, settings and some repo packages. However, probably because i'm on Nvidia, i'm having some issues that i never ever had before when i was using Nobara or other distros, and i am pretty sure it's on me. But i love arch, i love the aur, i love the control i have, even though i'm a dummy.

So, my question is: is cachyos as a distro actually good? The idea of an arch based, optimized and easy to install distro sounds incredibly appealing to me, but i am not sure if it's worth it. Thanks for the answers :)

What is missing for fully native HDR support?

20 Mar 2025 - 7:55pm

Currently, with the newly released GNOME 48, both it and KDE support the Wayland Color Management protocols, so that native Wayland apps can display HDR correctly. AFAIK, only Wine (and in turn Proton) is missing support, both to set their Wayland driver as default and to support and use the new protocols. Is that the only step missing? Also, as a sidenote, how does the VK_hdr_layer fit in all of this?

What are some Linux tools I can use to validate my new hardware?

20 Mar 2025 - 7:13pm

I just bought a new bundle from Microcenter alongside a new 9070 XT GPU and the deadline to return my products is coming up in a day or two. I've been so busy with work that I haven't gotten a chance to set up my computer and test it out.

Assuming I install some distro like EndeavourOS to get the necessary drivers for my new GPU, how can I run any tests to validate my hardware is up to spec/not missing ROPs/etc. so I know I don't need to return parts? This is my first PC, so I've never validated hardware before. Is there some software tools people recommend?
