I need help with a problem I'm having when using Proton on Steam to play CSGO2. The thing is, I can access the game just fine, but when I try to join any online match, this message pops up and won't let me in.

I also have a problem before entering the game, which is that every time the Vulkan shaders load, it gets to 50% and then takes about 20 minutes to load the other half.

Has anyone else had the same problem? Thank you.

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with some games but not all with scrolling counting as multiple scrolls. I have had this happen in CS2 and Black Ops 3, but no other games so far. The issue is when I scroll in CS2, it will scroll multiple times on one scroll up/down instead of just once. It happens with my Logitech G604, but I have tried my old Razer Naga Hex v1 and the issue is there as well.

Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS x86_64

Kernel 6.14.0-29-generic

Wayland

Logitech G604/Razer Naga Hex v1

In evtest one scroll will show multiple REL_WHEEL_HI_RES value -15 and occasionally a REL_WHEEL value -1.

I tried turning off High Res scrolling via /etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks:

This did disable High Res Scrolling, but did not fix the issue in CS2.

I also tried setting the scrolling to 1 in imwheel, which worked in xev, but also did not work in game.

For CS2 specifically, I changed from native to Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper) which was recommended from ProtonDB for some graphic issues I was having, but the scrolling issue was there too. Not that I thought it would work, but I tried using vulkan instead of DirectX as well. I switched from Wayland to xorg and the issue is there too.

This is very confusing for me and I can't figure out what is going on so anything helps!

CPU: Ryzen 5 9600x

Boot drive SSD: Don't remember the disk specifically but I have a 256gb gen 4 m.2 drive that I used to have on my laptop before I upgraded it. Works well, is reliable and healthy, just relatively small but should function OK as a boot drive. Don't have anything better to do with it so might as well.

Any glaring issues I should be aware of? recommendations? notes?

Also, I'm planning on using ubuntu, so if any of y'alls have any comments I'd be glad to hear. I'm not opposed to downloading bazzite and dual booting between when I have uni related work and when I want to game.

Thanks in advance!

You already wishlist it on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2566700/The_Last_General

Or join the discord to be in the first alpha tests in a few months: https://discord.gg/thelastgeneral

I'm using Pop!_OS and trying to connect my Switch 2 Joycons to Steam to use as a controller. I haven't done this before. I got joycond installed, and I have hid-nintendo by default, but I've run into an error before that point- they're not showing up for Bluetooth.

The Switch itself is turned off right now, so they're not connected to that. I've tried turning Bluetooth off and back on again. It's picking up signals even from my neighbors, so I don't think it's a range issue, but I tried holding the Joycons closer just in case. I've tried holding the button down for various lengths of time, and following one suggestion, I tried renaming my computer to "Nintendo." They're still not showing up for me to pair with.

Anyone care to share their 5600x benchmark scores using Passmark Performance Test? For some reason, on recent installs, even with a fresh bootable iso of EndeavorOS, my benchmark is hovering around 1800 after many tests. It's about 2300 on Windows now and used to be around that on EndeavorOS last year. Something changed and not sure what.

Since Apex Legends pulled the plug on Linux last year. We have nothing pretty much for this game mode type. It really sucks as this is legit my favorite game mode and after 3 months of being on Linux only. I am starting to get the urge to jump back onto Windows 11 just for Apex/Fortnite. I wish Embark Studios would make a BR mode in The Finals or something, since they are so adamant on supporting Linux. I don't see that happening though, because when you ask on their discord they go insane and say the world doesn't need another BR game, even though Linux literally doesn't have any BR games from what i can see lmao. I know about Arc Raiders and even though Extraction shooters are close to BR, it just doesn't have the same vibes. I do plan on trying it out though on the next open play test to see if it is at least something that could hold my attention, because The Finals is just not it for me. I was bored after playing it for a day. Do we think Linux will ever have a proper BR game or is Linux just doomed to be single player games only pretty much and PVE type of games?

Hey folks,

I noticed that Debian 13 (Trixie) stable doesn’t ship gamescope anymore, not even in contrib/non-free. Meanwhile, Sid (unstable) and Forky (testing) still have it.

Has anyone here managed to get gamescope working on Trixie without pulling in unstable repos? Is it better to backport from Sid, or just build straight from Valve’s GitHub source?

I’d like a safe approach that won’t mess with my stable system. Any advice from people who’ve done this would help a lot.

Thanks.

I'm running gadget through wine and I just can't seem to get it to pair with the game at all. Moving the gadget files to the games folder or the common folder or the dark souls remastered folder didn't work. This is supposed to be as simple as open gadget, open dark souls, load character, gadget pairs automatically. But this isn't working. What am I doing wrong?

Almost everything I've tried works like a charm with zero effort. It's not always the best solution, but it does exactly what I want it to. Some things are extremely painless like getting Roblox to work with Sober.

However, there are a few things that have been immensely frustrating. First and foremost, modded Skyrim has been a nightmare. I only just barely got MO2 to launch after days of learning things and trying things that doesn't work. I still can't launch the game, but I'm burnt out trying to fix everything.

I'm using CachyOS with KDE and systemd boot. I want to swap that with GRUB without having to start all over. I know this should be simple and easy, but I want everything to be the same as if I had always selected GRUB from the beginning to minimize niche issues, and I don't want to have to reinstall my system. It's already been weeks of work getting everything set up. I DO NOT want to start over now.

I've been having issues with my controllers. I have an 8Bitdo U2C and as far as I can tell, gyro simply doesn't work at all. I have a dualshock 2 and I can't even find a way to remap buttons or test the gyro.

I'm trying to get it to work with Sudachi, which I'm currently running in Lutris. I had some issues with that so I was going to try and download the linux native version, but all I can find is the source code, and I can't seem to figure out how I'm supposed to build and install it.

The biggest issues isn't that there's no way to do these things. The issues are that there are 10 years worth of conflicting information on how to do things, because it changes constantly and depends on which distro you're using. If you want to find accurate up to date info, you have to find someone who already knows it.

As far as I can tell, there's no way to just figure it out yourself unless you know how to read the source code and figure out what it does. For my part, I've spent hours looking at documentation, and I've yet to learn anything from any of them. It's beyond my understanding. I'm not a programmer. I know nothing about Linux. I'm lost.

So I ask other people for help. Most of the time, I get completely ignored. When I'm not ignored, I spend a while answering basic obvious questions to help them make sure I'm not just an idiot, and then they stop responding. That's if you're lucky. 90% of people who respond just give you condescending answers and incredulously ask why you'd want to do that anyway.

How am I supposed to learn how anything works when everything is hidden behind terminal commands which I have no way of knowing even exist, using constantly changing syntax which makes online info useless half the time. Even in Lutris, most of the time problems need to be solved with environment variables, wine configurations with the terminal, or specific DLL overrides.

I'm so god damned overwhelmed.

I have a Windows 11 PC, but I want to switch to Ubuntu, (Because Microsoft is being Microsoft). But when I make that switch, Will I be able to keep my games on my Second HDD?

I have decided that, simply put, I am very, very tired of my computer acting against me and gaining new problems every day as if they were achievements in a video game, so I’m going to take advantage of my Linux experience with the Steam Deck and Raspberry Pi OS to finally start moving away from Windows!

I'm making this post for anyone that struggles running the EA App in Lutris as I have, especially after an update. When the app tries to update, and fails.

Ive seen one suggestion to back up your save files and reinstall, which is a huge faff.

Change the Executable in Lutris to "EAUpdater" in the same directory as the EALauncher. It'll download, open the EA App, and give you an error to say it failed to de-stage.

Now change the Executable to EADestager, which should be in C:/Program Files/Electronic Arts/EA Desktop/Staging. When you run this, the EA App should open up as normal.

You can now set the executable to EALauncher and have it run as normal next time

Larian Studios recently announced a native Linux build for Baldur's Gate 3. In their FAQ about it, they said:

What’s the difference between the Steam Deck Native and Proton version?

Our Proton version runs on the Steam Deck via the Proton compatibility layer, which requires extra CPU processing power. Running the game natively on the Steam Deck requires less CPU usage and memory consumption overall!

This got me curious because I know Proton is a translation layer for Windows calls on Linux. But I always thought it didn’t really hit hardware performance compared to Windows or a native Linux build.

Are they right about the higher use of CPU/memory on Proton, or not? Thanks.

I've been downloading Baldur's Gate 3 over several days, just got home from work and my download progress had reset to 0%. (I think yesterday it was at 60-80% can't quite remember)
It's quite concerning so i thought i'd look for a solution online. I tried the following solution but had little luck: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1086940/discussions/0/3808408328764659949/
I made a backup of what i think had been downloaded from the Downloading folder in Steamapp, but theres only 39GB and i'm pretty sure i made more progress than that.

I clicked "install" and I immediately get a message saying my BG3 is ready to play. So i click "Play" but then it needed to download 30MB followed by another 293MB, followed by a 248MB Steamworks Commons Redistributables download.

I download all that, go back to library, click "Play" and get the following error
"An error occured while launching this game : missing game executable
.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Baldurs Gate 3/Launcher/LariLauncher.exe"

In the games properties, i go to Installed Files and Size of Installation says "0B on /Var/Home", but clicking "Browse..." opens the game folder ".local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Baldurs Gate 3/" and i can see that the game data is there. Verifying integrity of game files says "All 8214 files successfully validated"

So i figured i'll just start from scratch: uninstalled game, click install and same thing happens. It installs instantly, redownloads the 30MB 293MB & 248MB stuff, etc.
So then i try and delete every related to BG3 in the steamapps folder.
Same thing happens.
Restarting Steam has no effect either, it just brings me back to clicking "Install".

Please can anyone help me with this issue? I'm at a complete loss as what to try next. My OS is Bazzite Desktop version (no steam gaming mode, traditional desktop version).
