Question - Open Source Anti Cheat

16 Oct 2025 - 12:25pm

Someone know about a real project of open source anti cheat?
I think, if an anti cheat that is open source and trasnperent would be a good idea.

Then, want to ask if someone knows of a real project like that which already in the works.

Issues with Lutris for Epic Games Store plus others

16 Oct 2025 - 11:54am

Has anyone been having issues with Epic games stores recently on Lutris?

Have a few games installed but suddenly unable to run in Lutris.

Managed to find a workaround in Heroics Games Launcher but just wondering if people were having the same issue?

Proton gamers, opinion on Helldivers 2 performance?

16 Oct 2025 - 11:05am

Really considering to move to Proton just for Helldivers 2 because Windows performance is just complete disaster and it gets worse with every patch, 1-5 second freezes, FPS fluctuation between 40-80. Question is it running any better on Proton or its not the OS-related fault in general. If anyone don't mind, share your specs and how you feel, your FPS averages.

Mine is mid-range i5-12600k + 3060 Ti and I run 1080p so its not harsh on most of the games.
Thanks.

VRAM and upscaling doubts

16 Oct 2025 - 10:29am

Hi everyone! I have a rig with a 3070 8Gb which I’m trying to use to play stuff in 4k using dlss performance. I know this is not the card to do this but it’s the screen I have and the card is old and not planning to upgrade for now. I thought with dlss performance it might work really good as the card is very capable at 1080p. The reality is, it depends on the game a lot.

Spider-Man 2 is a vram mess, even with dlss performance I think 4k takes too much vram. And I don’t understand why, how big are their buffers and post processing? The rest should be rendered at near 1080p.

Horizon forbidden west is… frustrating again, vram usage on 4k dlss performance is way higher than in 1080p, and although it works at first, after one hour vram gets filled and the game is down to 30fps.

Clair obscur seem to be fair, with dlss vram consumption is reduced (not as much as I’d expect tho). And the actual card processing power becomes an issue in high settings. Still at 1080p is way way more playable than 4k dlss performance…

I don’t understand it, I tried the same card on a windows machine and Spider-Man has no issue with 4k dlss performance.

Workaround on blue protocol star resonance

16 Oct 2025 - 10:28am

I used Heroic Games Launcher. I used wine GE Latest and GE Proton Latest. I also added to Steam for controller input. While GE-Proton10-18 does work, I switched to the latest for my own reasons. No launch commands, since the heroic games launcher handles that stuff. As for the settings, I used gamemode, steam run time, anti-cheat runtime on both, and show fps. That was all I did, and it worked with gameplay feeling flawless, even after the anti-cheat update.

As for Winetricks, I just added whatever it would allow me to. I honestly did not make a list of what I added like a dumb dumb.

Versionbump to Mesa 26.0.0-devel

16 Oct 2025 - 10:28am

Just noticed today, that mesa got into version 26
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/commit/e766ffccc6ad038e6db694a7e6c60a5f99f5092f

I was scrubbing through the newest commits, well most things I don't really understand as its too deep into the mesa thing, but I haven't found any ground breaking changes from 25.X to the current devel 26.0.

But things going forward!

Edit:

Tried to compile it myself - well didn't run so well :D might dig deeper into it later, might just be my setup, as llvm package via extra repos is a bit too new for the mesa-git package on aur.

Modded Skyrim weird fullscreen window on KDE Wayland

16 Oct 2025 - 10:26am

Hi all,

I've recently installed the Nordic Souls Skyrim wabbajack modlist using Omnig's great Jackify (highly recommend their work) and when I start the game it lunches like this, showing only the top left quarter of the screen. Unmodded Skyrim works fine, natural fullscreen. I've played other modlists in the past on Linux (Anvil, Lost Legacy, Tuxborn, etc) all without any issues. I've tweaked with the `SSEDisplayTweaks.ini` to try different combinations of fullscreen on and off, borderless or not window, resolutions, etc and nothing.

One thing that I did notice, is that if I use KDE's window menu (right click on the Skyrim window icon on the taskbar) and set `More>Fullscreen` e DOES go into fullscreen showing the game as supposed to. HOWEVER, the mouse gets stuck in the same upper left quarter of the screen (so it implies that its being captured to be there).

Has anyone had this issue? Or have any idea on how to fix it?

I'm on Endeavour OS, KDE Plasma+Wayland, Nvidia GPU (dual with iAMD).

Cheers

Vortex cannot see library

16 Oct 2025 - 10:12am

Hi

I successfully installed Steam Thinker Launcher and Vortex too.

Ok Vortex cannot identify my games (that was always with Windows too) but, if I try to set the location manually, Vortex cannot see the folder where my steam games were installed. In the library "common" should to be a folder ".local" but the only folder which is appears is "Desktop". Nex to "Desktop" are more folders if I browse it manually in my system.

Why Vortex cannot se the library? I direct installed the games to the default location, becaus if I installed them to a delected location the game was found, mods were installed but the mods in the game aren't working.

I found something about Steam installation. The Steam was installed from the Ubuntu App Center, and the Steam Thinker Launcher was installed from Packstall. It could be a problem, that I installed the Steam from the app Center?

is Genshin Impact/Honkai Star Rail running on Linux now ?

16 Oct 2025 - 7:55am

Tomorrow I will assembly my new desktop computer and my plan is very clear and simple : Switch to Linux. No dual boot with Windows.

I know 99 percent of my games will work thanks to proton , but Hoyoverse games... I didn't find any source saying that right now , these games on working on Linux.

Some people run it for sure , but is it stable , same performance as windows ? Did anyone get banned ?

is Lutris good for installing it?
