I've been playing Genshin on Steam Deck for over a year now. I downloaded the official Hoyoplay launcher and added Genshin Impact as a non-Steam game to my library. I run the game using Proton Experimental. I also played on EU servers.

4 days ago (August 5) I started getting an error code 10010-4001 that sends me back to the login screen. I've been seeing lately that other Linux/ Steam Deck users are having the same issue. Is there a fix yet? I can't find one. I'm not even sure what the problem is exactly.

Hello everyone. As a happy steam deck user I made the switch on my workstation to Fedora as a daily driver for both gaming and work. I have a R7 9700x and a 3070 8gb. I know the GPU is on the weak side but I already had it and I will upgrade in the future.

Games like Cyberpunk and GOW Ragnarok work fine even on 4k with dlss performance-balanced. 60fps solid without much trouble on high settings.

My problem comes with SpiderMan 2. The game has some issues like not freeing VRAM when changing settings, but that’s manageable. At 1080p the game runs decent on high settings, as expected. The real problem comes with 2k (and 4k of course). At 1440p, game runs around 10fps even in low textures, tanking my VRAM when it shouldn’t, enabling dlss on quality should fix this as the internal resolution is lower than on 1080p native, but it still runs at 30fps super unstable. I’ve tried it on KDE and on GNOME, in a 4k display. I’ve also tried Proton experimental and Proton GE, the later one being the most decent performing and the one I got my previous results from.

Its also funny that when I close the game KDE crashes and every app closes. Once it also corrupted my KDE and had to do a full reinstall removing all config files.

I’d like to know at least what’s happening, if the game is still internally rendering still at 2K (which I don’t think should give me such a bad performance), and how bad KDE manages VRAM overflow.

Thanks guys!

Hi ,

Can anyone help me with this error? It's a completely new installation of goverlay on archlinux (pacman) with the latest mangohud version (Intel 11400k with RTX 3070 with nvidia proprietary drivers)

Hello,

I am attempting to install Elder Scrolls Online using the launcher from their website as I do not own the game on Steam but I have run into a couple problems with the launcher installation failing due to the following error "Timeout waiting for window to load. Please try to restart the Launcher"

My current troubleshooting steps have been as follows:

• Attempt install using the Bottles app (version 51.24 - flatpak) using the Gaming option. The runner is set to soda-9.0.1. Did not resolve.
  • During first attempt I noted that a pop-up appeared for something called GECK that WINE in the bottles app asked to install. I don't remember the exact message that popped up as I just clicked OK - a mistake on my part, but I did not receive any error messages from it.
  • Restarted the launcher per the game recommendation.
  • Delete and re-create the bottle. No change.
  • Through some googling installed vb.net 4.8 and 4.8.1 dependencies, did not resolve.
• Attempt to install using the Heroic Games Launcher (version 2.18.1 - flatpak). Wine version set to Proton - GE-Proton-latest. Did not resolve.
• Re-downloaded the launcher from the ESO website. Did not resolve.

I am hoping to get a successful install through either Heroic or Bottles as I already use both of these for my workflows and I'm trying not to keep adding new applications or launchers just for one program, but if necessary I'll do what I need to do.

Speed Dreams is an old but cool racing game that is open sourse, works on linux, windows and macos, and the only problem is that no one really plays it any more. My ideea make it popular so people who know how to make mods for it will find it and make cool mods for it. I'll try to make a couple of cars and post it on Github. (Sorry for my bad english)

I have 2 ssd's, is it viable to just plop windows on the one without linux, and somewhat smoothly swap between them to play games with kernel level anticheat like BF6? And in that case how? I do not have any physical copies of my windows 10

Seems to work absolutely fine for like half of my library, but some games just seem to absolutely refuse working whatsoever since I switch to Mint Cinnamon.

Controller support is nowhere to be found, controller settings within steam absolutely refuses to work, it doesn't even let me adjust the template for the game itself, just throwing me a blank window every time.

I've tried the kbm support template, updating my system constantly, restarting, completely resetting my system from USB, but because it doesn't actually let me change any of the hotkeys (trying on both m&k and controller), again it just refuses. The default kbm template is the only way I've even got it to respond to controller input, and I can't change any inputs both in-game and within steam? I'm losing my mind a bit to be honest

The most progress I've made here is being able to use the d pad to scroll around menus.

What do?

I want to use a generic 3rd party ps3 controller but I am having troubles with using it or it being detected by steam.

Distro: Bazzite latest update

Proton Version: Hotfix

Controller: 8BitDo Pro 2 (Both Xbox Mode and Switch Mode)

Issue: The game works fine for around 5 to maybe 10 minutes, but after that time the game will just stop taking inputs from my controller. I have tried with and without Steam Input to get the same results.

Monster Hunter Wilds doesn’t have this issue, and I haven’t checked World. I can also play Tokyo Extreme Racer on the same controller without issue either. I haven’t tried using Gamescope yet, but I have a feeling that won’t help or fix the issue, I could be wrong though.

The game will take Keyboard and Mouse inputs just fine though. And I do have the Sunbreak DLC.

Any and all help is welcome!

Thanks in advance!

Whenever I try to launch Halo infinite it tells me to "sign into my Xbox live profile" but doesn't open up any window for me to enter any login credentials.

I am using the heroic game launcher for first time in a fedora 42 and wanted to play Dredge. The thing is that I started playing it on a windows machine and even tough I was able to download the save from the cloud in ~/Games/Heroic/Dredge the game does not recognise. Am I doing something wrong or is it that I can not play a save that was made in a windows machine?

i try to play with my friend (windows) and me (linux) online some old lan games (settlers 2), but we do not get it work to find us ingame.

We tried tailscale and zerotier. The only one we got work is hamachi.

Any other recommendation?

when i try to play NFS UNBOUND everything lags and moves like it's in slow motion. I launch it through steam. Any way to fix this?

Hey Linux folks,

I made a simple sumo game with terminal aesthetics.

Push opponents off the ring, broken physics included.

Works in Firefox/Chrome/whatever you use.

No install needed.

It's so annoying and frustrating to have to force use of dGPU for every OpenGL manually. I don't understand why there's no way to just set one GPU to be used for all high demand workloads.

Vulkan at least chooses dGPU by default, but I haven't seen a convenient way to change this if I want to. Setting convoluted environmental variables to force use of a particular GPU for each game manually is not very convenient.

Hello all, I'm trying to get two joysticks to work as one controller for steam input.

The goal here although not optimal is to play Redout 2 with the flight sticks i use in elite and star citizen as i think it would be really fun.

Ive mapped my desired bindings in steam input but by the looks of it only one joystick can send inputs at a time, so the question is do i need to create a virtual controller somehow, or can i tell steam to merge them some other way?

if it helps the sticks are constellation alpha primes L+R with warbrd bases.

edit - im on arch/hyprland

I bought Dishonored while I was on Mint and shortly after that I decided to try out Arch but now Dishonored doesn’t want to open at all. It worked barely using Proton 3.16-9, but by barely it could just show the menu after loading and then it crashed.
