Chivalry 2 got a Christmas update that didn't really change anything but after this update I started getting the error "EOS AntiCheatClient Violation detected. Type: ForbiddenSystemConfiguration. Message: Could not locate game executable entry in the catalogue. (Chivalry2-Win64-Shipping.exe)". Also I'm on CachyOS and I have the game installed with Epic Games through Heroic Games Launcher, I also tested other proton versions and nothing changed.

I've saved up some money to upgrade from my integrated graphics to a dedicated gpu, and i see a lot of people talking about the rx 7600 and the rtx 5050 as good budget cards. From what i saw off benchmarks, the 5050 performs better in most games, but i know that nvidia gpus can perform worse on linux, and amd gpus can perform better on linux (due to drivers and other stuff). Qhat do you guys recommend i buy between those two?

CachyOS

I’ve tried X11 and Wayland and the problem persist on both.

Performance wise the game runs fine besides this issue, but I’ve been battling it for nearly 2 hours now without finding a fix and my return window is closing.

Anyone else run into this problem by chance?

I’m running Fedora 43 KDE and since about the last 24 hours I’ve been having a controller hot-plug issue with an 8BitDo Ultimate 2. Games no longer detect the controller if it is disconnected and reconnected while the game is already running. If the controller is already powered on before launching the game, everything works normally. Enabling Steam Input also makes the problem disappear completely, including proper disconnect/reconnect behavior.

This happens both in Steam and in games launched through Heroic, including titles that previously worked fine with native controller support. Because Steam Input works reliably, this does not appear to be a wireless, dongle, or hardware problem, but rather something breaking below the game layer.

I'm trying to run Minecraft on version 1.21.1 and every time I try to start it, even without mods, the game doesn't even open and gives an error as if the SHA is wrong. I did some research and didn't find anyone talking about this on the internet, so I resorted to chatgpt. According to it, it's:

Incompatibility bug between Forge 1.21.x and Btrfs (CoW + compression), causing temporary file corruption during processing/extraction, resulting in an incorrect SHA — it's not a Java or internet problem.

I tried to fix it using chatgpt itself, but I couldn't and I have no idea how to fix it.

This is the error: Processor failed, invalid outputs: /home/myuser/.local/share/PrismLauncher/libraries/net/minecraft/client/1.21.1/client-121.1-official.jar Expected: fd32ce5ddf1bc49a9c1a00ff73cbcb2aa7a99d18 Actual: 6254se4152aeaf33sb755c0arfbf60b1bed53Pr6

I'm using cachyos with arch deckify fully updated. I've tried proton proton GE and cachyos proton. 7800x3d 7900xtx 32gb ddr5.

Anytime I try to play Sniper Elite 5 in gaming mode, it will always show a black screen if there's no input from the mouse or if I connect a controller. It only works normally in desktop mode with the game set to windowed.

Game works perfectly fine on my wife's PC with no changes at all same setup different and hardware

So im using fedora 43 with kde. Is there any way to get better settings for nvidia? In current app i have (forgot the name, it was after installing akmod-nvidia), i have almost no options to change anything like colors or modes like performance, quality or battery saver. Basicly all stuff you have on windows nvidia control panel. Any way to get this?

New to Linux (Ubuntu), fairly new to Steam. When I am using the scroll wheel the input is inconsistent/erratic.

The behavior is similar to the wheel being dirty or a damaged mouse where certain clicks of the scroll wheel don't input. Except this can happen several scrolls in a row at times, or not at all. This is happening only in Steam, does not happen in the few other apps I use on this device. Does not happen in the Steam app menus, only in-game. Happens with multiple mice. Has been happening since dual booted the device 5 months ago.

I've tried toggling off GPU accelerated rendering, and smooth scrolling in webviews(?). Searched for updates, closed all background apps, restarted, all the usual basic troubleshooting.

CPU around 25%, RAM around 35%. (Hardware usage doesn't seem to have an impact on scroll performance.)

Happy to provide anything else. I have to boot back to windows for any game I was to use the scroll wheel regularly for, please help!

I’m a pretty big tinkerer with my computer, built it myself and am currently running windows 11 completely stripped down. My daily uses for my pc are

-piracy (all kinds)

-gaming and recording

-customizing my ui (as much as windows allows)

I’m also a digital based artist but I have other machines for adobe software, so not really expecting to use that on my big desktop. My pc is also pretty powerful.

Basically my question is, as someone who’s pretty technical and knows how to tinker with computers but has also zero experience with Linux, is arch overkill? Should I just get mint and mod the ui to my personal taste?

I want to play Fallout New Vegas, and the Viva New Vegas modlist is a must to me. Problem being, my version of NV is from GOG, which is istalled via Heroic, and the tutorials I've seen are for Steam. Anyone can point me for makes MO2 work on Heroic?

hey i just figured out that windows wasn't the best idea for gaming so i am trying to find a distro that would correspond my need I have an nvidia 4060 gpu. it would be better if the distro was fully customizable or even only the ui and I want to play online games with more fps

sorry for my english i'm french

As always, feedback is welcome. Enjoy! 💙

for context im running windows 11 and i have 2 nvme drives so i was thinking to do dual boot as im starting to get very competitive in CS2 which will be the game i play and want pure performance with virtually no bloat or anything holding back performance so i was thinking is it worth having my pc dual boot because i will need windows 11 for the most part but the questions are:

do i use dual boot?

what linux to run? i was thinking steamos for the reason of i will only run CS2

so can anyone help? i would love help from the reddit community

So I’m a total Linux newbie who’s jut got pop_os a few weeks ago. I’ve got things like affinity and aseprite working without any major issues, except affinity needed a specific version of wine to work. I’m assuming this comes up in games too where sometimes a game requires a specific proton version to run.How does one know which version or variant of proton ( or wine ) is needed for a game? Like for example how would I know which proton version can run Arkham asylum and which can run nomad man’s sky? Is there a website I could check?
