Help running hollow knight using wine on my linux mint without stutter.

25 Sep 2025 - 7:07pm

Just asking to see if anyone has used a specific setup to run the game that i can follow.
Im running the game on plain wine 10.0 64 bit architechture. Dependencies installed using winetricks -
d3dcompiler_43, d3dx9, d3dcompiler_47, dxvk, andale, arial, comicsans, courier, georgia, impact, times, trebuchet, verdana, webdings, corefonts, w_workaround_wine_bug-50894, vcrun2015 (output from winetricks list-installed).

This is the launch command that i use - "env WINEPREFIX="/home/$(whoami)/.wine_new" DXVK_CONFIG_FILE="/home/$(whoami)/.config/dxvk.conf" gamemoderun wine "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Hollow Knight\\hollow_knight.exe""

Here the conf file just says dxvk.enableAsync=true and downloaded and installed dxvk async from dxvk-async but whenever i enable dxvk hud the async enabled doesnt show so idk if its running or not and gamemode without any customization.

The game stutters to the point where its unplayable....i mean i do get 60 fps for 5 seconds then stutters and goes on like that in short its nothing i can ignore plus holow knight used to run smoothly without any issue on this same device when i was in windows so i dont think its a hardware issue. I have 8GB ram and a nvidia mx150 with 4gb vram. Please help.

anyone with an ARC B570 know how I can get the application?

25 Sep 2025 - 5:23pm

for most GPUs I've had (at least on windows) it had an app that went with it like nvidia control panel where you could configure a bunch of desktop settings
I'm new to intel and linux and was wondering if not only there was an intel version of that but also if there was a linux version of it, as I'm experiencing a bunch of screen tear and want to fix it
thank you in advance

Controller not inputting

25 Sep 2025 - 5:07pm

I am fairly new to Linux but for some reason I can't get the Xbox controller (pretty sure it's a series controller) I have to make inputs. It can connect to my laptop and I even followed this guide on installing xpadneo https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/xbox-one-controllers-over-bluetooth-linux/

Is there something I missed? Do I need to install drivers?

Help, how to add installed steam games from other drive

25 Sep 2025 - 4:33pm

Hi, I just finished installing cachy os, before this, I use windows 10 with 2 ssd, the first ssd is used for OS and other programs, and the second ssd is used for games and other data, now I installed cachy os on the first ssd ( where I store windows ) and I want to mount the other ssd where I store all of my steam games, but when I try to add the steamapps ( on the second ssd ) directory on the steam game storage settings, it says "steam library folder is not empty", how can I add my steam games from other drive into my steam? is it not possible to use steam games that installed on windows in linux?
Thanks in advance for any advice or solutions! :D

Silent Hill f doesn't start up in Bazzite

25 Sep 2025 - 3:50pm

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if someone has a solution to the above.

I'm trying to run the game in Lutris using the newest runner releases of proton GE (10-17), proton CachyOS and proton EM, but with all of them game starts with a black screen for 1 second then shuts down. All redists are installed and am playing with an XTX.

It seems people on CachyOS are able to play it and I read that using proton experimental should run it, but I am only able to download the above mentioned GE version with Proton Plus.

Does anyone have already a solution? Otherwise I'll just wait for a patch, since the game has just been officially released today.

Can't get MGS2: Sons of Liberty to launch in bottles

25 Sep 2025 - 3:30pm

I downloaded it off Dodi repacks, the game works fine on my windows ( so it's definitely not corrupted files), but doesn't launch in my linux using bottles at all. Any recommended dependencies i should download or settings to change?

new vegas crashing on startup

25 Sep 2025 - 12:29pm

(hyfetch results for specs)

so my husband gifted me fallout new vegas on steam earlier today, but every time i try to run it i get like one single frame of the pre start menu and then it crashes

ive tried 3 or 4 different versions of proton, including expirimental, hotfix, 8, and 7.2 ge because i saw it called out in a tutorial video

then i tried deleting and reinstalling it, first deleting it through steam then through my file manager, both times no change

Reccomend linux distro.

25 Sep 2025 - 12:21pm

Hello first time writing here

I am planning on switching from windows 11 to a linux distro, however i don't know anything about linux or distros in general, so i would appreciate some reccomendations on a linux distro that is closest to windows 11.

I mainly do: gaming: playing any new or old titles, modding: i use map and level editors like the hammer editor,sandbox editor,tes construction set,halo mod tools and other sdk's, scripting: making cfg/text executables and scripts for games.

My pc specs: windows 11, cpu: ryzen 7 5700x, gpu: rx 6600 xt, ram: t-force vulcan-z 4 X 8 GB (32), motherboard: tuf b450 plus gaming.
