arch kde - no sound when playing until system reboot

18 Feb 2026 - 12:49am

when im playing a more demanding game (it doesnt even need to be heavy, just peak or hytale is enough), the sound just stop working out of nowhere (sometimes it takes 5 min, sometimes 20, its random)

it was normal until 3 days ago when i ran pacman -Syu

just restarting pipewire etc does not fix it. i also tried disabling snd_hda_intel power saving, but that didnt help either

Can't install mods for Fallout New Vegas on Linux Mint

17 Feb 2026 - 11:57pm

Is anyone here still using rockerbacon's MO2 installer? I've tried using it and everything went well (for the installation) but for some reason I'm getting an error message whenever I try to install a mod saying "Path does not exist". Is there a fix to It? Have I done something wrong? Or is there a better/updated way to mod New Vegas on Linux?

Проблема с запуском русификатора для Wuthering Waves

17 Feb 2026 - 11:07pm

Всем привет! Кто может помочь? Я хотел поставить русификатор WuWaTPL для Wuthering Waves, но почему-то exe самого лаунчера не запускается при клике. Я запускал exe русификатора через Protontrick и так же доустановил dotnet7 и dotnet6 а ко всему этому ещё и Microsoft WebView2. Но тупо ничего не происходит при запуске русификатора. Ни ошибок, ни крашей, ничего.

Если что игру запускал через стим через GE-Proton 10-32, в настройках указалSTEAMDECK=1 %command%

Может кто сможет помочь? Будут очень вам благодарен!

I need advice.

17 Feb 2026 - 10:53pm

I am an ex-Windows user and a while ago I switched to Linux (I don't regret it), the thing is that I want to start playing games on Steam and other platforms like Blizzard, the thing is that I am not sure how optimized Linux is for video games (I use Linux Mint), I would like to know if there is an operating system based on Linux or an application to be able to play without problems.

EAC is coming to Rocket League; Linux will still be supported according to official announcement

17 Feb 2026 - 10:32pm

I have a feeling the real reason they're doing this is to block bakkesmod's customization options, since it lets you use any customization for free (although its only locally so other players can't see it). Epic is very protective of their microtransactions, as they removed player-to-player trading not long ago.

Lets also hope that Linux support isn't quietly removed after all the good PR of them keeping it.

Low FPS on Diablo 4 Arch Linux

17 Feb 2026 - 9:48pm

Hey all, I own the game on battle.net and tried via Lutris and via Steam, with default runner and with proton GE (so 4 setups in total) and it's always the same: If I set everything to low end and FSR to ugly as hell, I get like 45 FPS. If I set everything to Max, I get around 37 FPS.

5800X3D, 32GB RAM, 6800XT 16GB

And it's not the VRAM leak either. For one I implemented the .conf fix, also the performance is that bad right from the start up.

Anyone any ideas? Considering buying the game via Steam, but there is no logical reason why it would run better (since I already have it run via Steam as described above, is there?). Is this just the way it is? Under Windows I had 90+ FPS with my setup, but Microsoft can fuck off so that's not an option.

Thanks for helping!

Mewgenics Performance terrible in House

17 Feb 2026 - 9:48pm

Hi, bought Mewgenics today bc I thought it looks fun.

But I have a little problem, the game run super smooth, except when I’m in the house, in there it is a slideshow with maybe 10 frames per second.

Does anyone have an idea why it might be like this?

Audio Crackling in certain games only when on fullscreen

17 Feb 2026 - 9:21pm

The four games I've been experiencing this in are Deep Sleep Trilogy, Don't Escape Trilogy, Peggle, and Plants vs. Zombies. I've tried switching to GE-Proton and setting the launch command

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winepulse.drv=d" WINEALSA_CHANNELS=2

To no avail.

I'm unable to install wine32; does libwine replace it, or is it not as good???

17 Feb 2026 - 8:44pm

I am trying to set up linux so that I can play a game, and it says that I should install Lutris and Wine. I looked up how to install wine, and it told me to install wine32. I tried to, and it came up with this: Package wine32 is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

However the following packages replace it:

libwine

I already installed libwine. I hope I didn't screw everything up. Please tell me if I did and what to do. I have no idea how any of this works.

Postal 2 Stuttering Like Crazy

17 Feb 2026 - 7:00pm

Hello, as you can see on the title, my Postal 2 (GOG version) is stuttering like crazy. I tried everything; wine, proton ge and experimental and running it natively (which should work because it has a platinum score on proton db). I even tried gamemode and gamescope.
Switched to OpenGL, still the same.

Nothing worked, my game is still stuttering a lot it's literally unplayable.

I use CachyOS. Got a Ryzen 3 3200U (2 cores 4 threads) and an apu Radeon Vega 3 graphics (2 gigabytes), also 8 gigabytes of ram. The game runned normally on windows 11 but won't work on linux.

I really love this game and I want to play it again. I would appreciate some help, thanks!

No man Sky in Cachy Os

17 Feb 2026 - 6:13pm

Hello, does anyone know how I can play No Man's Sky on ultra graphics in CachyOS? It worked fine on Windows but it fails on Linux. I already have the drivers updated, I'm using Steam's Proton and GameMode. What could be causing the severe FPS drops?

8BitDo Ultimate 2(C)

17 Feb 2026 - 5:53pm

Hello,

I read in some previous topics that this controller is literally plug & play.

However, in USB, I'm not able to make it work. It is recognized as a keyboard / mouse. Anything I can do ?
