You have to download a "Verification tool" and your hardware has to be plugged in and turned on so that this random download can "scan" your hardware. Mine will not detect my brand new GPU.

Some people have had success with support but they asked for my redeemable code 3 times didn't belive me when i forwarded them the email from the Canadian retailer and actually blocked my email.

Hi everyone, I just installed Witcher 3 through Steam with Proton Experimental and failed to launch it due to this error:

"Failed to create OpenGL context for format QSurfaceFormat::FormatOption::QFlagsSurfaceFormat::FormatOption(1), depthBufferSize:24, redBufferSize:8, greenBufferSize:8, blueBufferSize:8, alphaBufferSize:8, stencilBufferSize:8, samples:0, swapBehavior:QSurfaceFormat::DefaultSwapBehavior, swapInterval:1, colorSpace QSurfaceFormat::DefaultColorSpace, profile QSurfaceFormat::NoProfile). This is most likely caused by not having the necessary graphics drivers installed.

Install a driver providing OpenGL 2.0 or higher, or, if this is not possible, make sure the ANGLE Open GL ES 2.0 emulation libraries (libEGL.dll, libGLESv2.dll and d3dcompiler_*.dll) are available in the application executable's directory or in a location listed in PATH."

My system is Fedora 41 on 6.13.6-200.fc41.x86_64 kernel with an Intel chip and RTX 4070. The Nvidia driver i am using is at version 570.124.06, which was installed alongside CUDA (nvcc).

I managed to get it run with "gamemoderun %command% --launcher-skip".

Just wondering if anyone has any idea what happened without --launcher-skip and if this option will negatively impact performance in any way. Thank you.

Hi guys, I am using Manjaro linux with Linux 6.6, Plasma 6.
I'm having trouble with discord screen sharing (Vesktop).
Sometimes my stream freezes, sometimes it gitchas, sometimes it looks terrible, and sometimes people see black until I move something.

I downloaded and installed the graphics card drivers, I've used a bunch of clients, and vesktop is pretty close to my ideal solution.

Do you know of any other clients or solutions to this?

So I mainly play older games such as Mirror's Edge and AC4 Black Flag. I love these games to death. Still play Black Flag almost every week.

With the recent news about NVIDIA dropping 32-bit CUDA support thus killing PhsyX in 32-bit games, I was wondering something. It also stemmed from watching Gamers Nexus video about PhysX:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4w_aObRzCc

In which they recommend getting an older NVIDIA GPU as an accelerator for PhsyX. So an RTX 5090 and a GTX 980 for example.

I was wondering, would a setup like this work on Linux with NVIDIA proprietary drivers? If so, how?

Or perhaps the drivers would need to be the same one, and support the same GPUs, something like a 5090 and RTX 3050, instead of an older legacy card like 980? Since they would both be using the same driver version instead of two drivers for each GPU. (Something I'm guessing would make it even more complicated on Linux)

What about nvidia driver vs nvidia-open driver? (Not talking about Nouveau or NVK)

Would Wayland vs X11 affect things?

What about the kernel version?

Also, on that note. Does PhysX even work with NVK or Mesa?

Another question.

Would an NVIDIA GPU as a second PhsyX accelerator GPU work in conjuction with an AMD/Intel GPU using Mesa as the primary GPU? Is such a thing even possible?

I'm wondering if I can use my Arc A750 as my main GPU, and get a RTX 3050 as PhysX accelerator.

Just to be clear, I do not have a 50 series card nor do I ever plan on getting one, especially after these news. But this made me curious as I mainly player older games.

I can't run the game because of a problem with the EAC (easy anti cheat). I have the Proton EAC runtime installed. What could I do to fix this? (Linux mint)

After this recent patch, I've been crashing whenever I open up Marvel Rivals. The load in works relatively smoothly, and the little animation plays, but then the game crashes. I can't click on anything else. Below is an image of what I see before the game crashes. This has been happening ever since yesterdays update, and the "patch" that was supposed to fix the crashes didn't fix it at all. I can't even play the game anymore, and it's driving me craycray. Any help would be appreciated...

Hello Everyone,

I am new to the whole Linux Gaming thing and need your advice.

My current PC Setup is a Intel i5 6600K and a GTX970 and as this hardware is aproaching the Windows 10 EOL cycle i thought i tip my toes into Linux Gaming with a new setup.

This is the Setup i was looking at for my new PC.

Motherboard: MSI B650 Gaming

RAM: 64 GB DDR5-6000

CPU: AMD Ryzen9 9900X

Graphicscard: Radeon RX 7800 XT Gaming OC 16 GB

Please give me a little bit of help if this setup runs kind of smooth on linux.

I am looking at playing titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher III, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Medieval Dynasty, Valheim, and more ....

Thank you very much for your time and help.

Let me know if i forgot any important Info.

What it says on the tin. The Forest continually crashes on startup, and sometimes even manages to crash Steam. I have tried to reboot my PC, switching proton versions, reinstalling drivers, redownloading the game, verifying game files, setting different launch options, nothing has worked. Any advice?

Linux Mint 22

Ryzen 7 5700X3D

Radeon RX 7900 XT

so it hasn't been an issue for a while because i've been able to use the flatpak but i believe that is using more ram than the native version so i was wondering why it isn't launching and this is all i get from the terminal when trying to launch

I'm running Fedora 41, AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop (no other GPU present), Nvidia driver version 570.86.16 (I checked, that it's really running the nvidia driver and not nouveou).

I'm using Heroic to play games from GoG, which used to run fine. I didn't change any configurations (apart from the regular system updates and automatic updates to Heroic), and from one day to another, games that ran really well now run terrible.

For example, Shadow of Mordor used to run with 100fps, now it's down to 2-5 seconds per frame.

I installed Bioshock 1 Remastered only after this issue started, but it's an ancient game and should run really well, but it too is down to ~10fps in the main menu and 2-5 seconds per frame in game.

The weird thing is that the game seems to run normally, but the display is lagging behind. So for example in the opening scene of Bioshock, the display still shows me diving underwater, trying to get to the surface, but if I press the space key, I can hear my character jump with no delay. Audio doesn't stutter and plays on like it should.

I tried switching between Wine-GE and Proton-GE (trying latest and a few other versions) without any change.

I only have a dGPU in this laptop, so the issue can't be that it's using the iGPU.

Do you have an idea what could be the issue?

Edit: Render videos (e.g. the smoking-in-the-airplane scene in the beginning of Bioshock) run just fine. I get full speed there (40fs in case of this one video).

Runs fine when using controller

I'm not sure what's going on at all, I've tried everything from switching from Proton 9 to Experimental, Followed a guide online that was for Steam Deck about renaming the Windows Powershell exe to something else, I just don't know what's causing this, I've had issues with this game on windows however it wasn't like this. This is the only game on my PC that has this kind of issue. The game works fine for a bit but then out of nowhere it stutters like hell! But strange enough whenever I plug in a controller for the game, it starts running perfectly fine? But then I switch back to my Keyboard and Mouse then it goes to poop again when I put any input. Haven't tried using GE-Proton yet however I feel like this won't fix my issue... Is there perhaps a Launch Command I need for Steam to avoid this issue?

Hello, I recently purchased Halo Spartan Assault and the game won't let me change my keys from QWERTY to AZERTY. Do you have a solution to force the layout change? I tried changing it in Linux Mint, I tried remapping with xmodmap, changing something in the registry and it didn't change anything.

Thank you for your help.

P.S.: If the tag doesn't fit this post, please let me know and I'll change it.

This issue started about two months ago. Resident Evil 4 Remake doesn't recognize my 8GB of VRAM.

I just bought RDR2 during the Steam sale, and it's showing the same behavior as RE4R. In RDR2, the game detects the total amount of VRAM but doesn't seem to use it properly. In the third screenshot, you can see the red warning about VRAM. In the last image, with the Task Manager open, you can check the VRAM usage while playing RDR2.

This problem is causing low FPS and stuttering in both games.

I'm using Proton 9.04 for both games. I've already tried repairing, reinstalling, and switching Proton versions, but the issue persists. My system is Fedora 41 with Gnome.

Do you have any suggestions to fix this problem?
