Welcome. I'm gonna reinstall Arch Linux in a few days, hoping to use a window manager such as Hyprland this time, and I wanna know what I should do to increase my PC's performance in 2025. I will list my PC specs below, but I don't want this to be specific to me. What are any tips I should implement or tweaks I should make to improve my performance; anything, I'm talking kernel versions, kernel parameters, if I should still use X11 with my Nvidia GPU or if Wayland is caught up yet for performance, if certain desktop environments or window managers are better for performance, what Proton version should I use, anything you can think of, there is no "common knowledge" when you're as dumb as I am.

PC specs:
- CPU: Intel i9-12900K
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
- RAM: 32GB DDR5/6000MHz
- Motherboard: MSI PRO Z690-A WiFi

Thanks everyone.

What I'm trying to play:

• tModLoader 1.4 with:
  
  • DragonLens v1.10
    
  • Absolute Aquarian v1.0.6.1
    
  • Magic Storage v0.7.0.8
    
  • Wing Slot Extra v1.4.5
    
  • Boss Checklist v2.2.3.1
    
  • Recipe Browser v0.10.10.1
    
  • Fargo's Mutant v3.3.6.2
    
  • Fargo's Souls v1.7.2.14
    
  • Luminance v1.0.12
    
  • AlchemistNPC v1.9.8
    
  • Pylons Prevent Evils v1.9.1
    
  • Ore Excavator v0.8.9
    
  • ArmamentDisplay v1.20.1
• multiplayer with friends

What's wrong:

• game runs slowly
• character is visibly slower and other players see me as teleporting/rubber banding)
• ~45 fps around built up stuff, ~60 on new worlds
• 70% CPU utilization (built in tools)
• 30% CPU utilization (as shown by MangoHUD)

- PC randomly crashes/freezes, background processes still work but keyboard/mouse don't work What I've tried with the game:

• running on windows (before I switched to ubuntu 24 LTS) and it ran perfectly on 100+ fps
• running on proton (made it worse)
• running on wine (same as native)
• new singleplayer world with mods (works almost okay)
• new multiplayer world (dedicated host) with mods (works almost okay)
• vanilla terraria SP & MP - works okay
• tModLoader without mods - works okay
• going away from a built up area in our world (works better but still not okay)
• hosting on my PC, hosting on friends PC (host and play but local connect)
• hosting on dedicated server
• hosting through steam (doesn't even give an option to join a server)

What I've tried with the PC/OS

• updating drivers (built in tools, manually and apt)
• switching from snap to native (steam, terraria and tmodloader, I did wipe all remaining snap files for steam)
• downloading .NET from microsoft
• ubuntu gamemode
• switching between power saving and performance modes

Relevant PC specs:

• HP ProBook 450 G8
• Intel Core i5-1135G7
• 8GB DDR4 ram

Other thoughts:

• From what I can see, I tried basically everything over the course of 2-3 weeks so high chance I forgot to mention some stuff here aswell
• Plz help :,)

So when i connect this it shows connected and works for some time, in kde plasma game controller settings menu, under system settings.

Bit it stops workings as soon as i press any button (when i move joystick it stays connected and the tracker on screen detects it's movement, sometime it's detects key pressed to) red and green both led starts to blink.

Is there any way i can use this? Someone gave it me. I'm on arch btw if that's needed.

Hey guys. I can get TruckersMP OR truckbooks to run with Euro Truck Sim 2 but not both at the same time.

This is the command i use on steam launch options

"/home/deck/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton10-10/" waitforexitandrun "/home/deck/Faugus/tbsetup/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/TrucksBook Client/TB Client.exe" ; echo %command% For turckbooks.

For TMP i simply just put the TruckersMP location when the TB is

My question is, what command would i use to open both TMP and Trucksbooks?

Thanks so much in advance

EDIT:VI am using a steamdeck and have installed both EXE's with Faugus.

Hi!

I want to run ME LE via Steam on my Fedora PC, it has worked a year ago, but ever since EA changed something with their crappy launcher, it just won't boot.

Tried rebuilding the progon prefix, and installing the EA launcher separately via Lutris, didn't work.

I downloaded “We Were Here” yesterday on cachyos and for some reason whenever I try to launch it from steam using proton (I have tried GE 10, 9,8,7,4, experimental, hotfix, scout/sniper 3 don’t remember if it was scout or sniper, i tried a lot of proton versions and the “Launch icon” turns blue and says cancel then it goes back to launch. I also tried to install it from Steam for windows on lutris and I kept getting error 256. GPU: Nvidia Rtx 3060 (Laptop) CPU: Intel i7 11th Gen DE: KDE x11 (Hybrid mode is off)

SW Battlefront 2 sometimes gets stuck to low 30 fps for both cpu and gpu according to built in perfoverlay.drawfps and the game becomes unplayable. Normally it runs >150 fps using ultimate settings. The issue can't be solved by rebooting the game, or even by shutting down and restarting Steam. There's no extra processes running and system monitor doesn't show any processes consuming cpu. However it's instantly fixed by rebooting the whole computer. This is weird for me, as it suggest the issue is os and not Steam or the game, yet I can't figure out what's causing it and I haven't witnessed it with other games. Any ideas how to find out the root cause of this issue?

All AMD system, with Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS and 32 GiB memory.

Used the mentioned distro before, had 0 complaints, but I hadn't tried any games on it that time. Will I be able to play spider man remastered/spider man 2 and ghost of tsushima if I got them not from steam? Will I be able to use DLAA/DLSS/Framegen?

I also don't understand why do we need DXVK and how does it help.
I have a laptop with RTX 4060.

So lately windows has been really fucking up my computer performance. Im talking going from about 200fps to 110-120fps for no apparent reason after i updated it, and i have gotten enough with the BS. The only games i play are Sea of thieves, Rainbow six siege, minecraft and Deep rock galactic. I saw that you can play those games on Lutris? But i also heard that Ubisoft bans people using that... is that true? and if it is, are there any alternatives to that which wont result in my account being banned? (and also allow me to play the other games mentioned) I have purchased all of the games i mentioned if that helps

Hi all,

I wanted to ask if anyone had any luck using the VKB Gladiator with Flight Simulator 2024. The joystick is updated to the latest firmware, I'm using GE-Proton 10-10, and the game detects my Virpil Throttle but not the joystick. It's just not appearing in the controllers selection. The stick works with no problem in other games.

I've tried following the workarounds in this post but no luck so far.

Demo

While not designed for this purpose, it works. Just set VLCs output to OpenGL from Automatic, then run VLC with Zink (GL-Vulkan) & LSFG

MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink ENABLE_LSFG=1 LSFG_MULTIPLIER=8 mangohud vlc

There is also SVP (Smooth video project) but its hard to install on linux.

Hey Reddit,

For the past few months, I've been working on a passion project called AI Kingdom, and I'm excited to share it with you all.

I've always loved deep strategy and kingdom-building games, but I felt that the interaction often boiled down to clicking through menus. My goal was to create a game where you feel like you're actually ruling, where your words have weight, and your story is truly your own. AI Kingdom is a free, browser-based, persistent world game where you do just that.

Here’s what makes it different:

## Speak to a Living Council

Instead of a toolbar with buttons, your primary interface is a council of six AI-powered ministers, each with their own personality and expertise.

• You don't click "Recruit Army." You select your blunt Minister of War and type, "We need to bolster our northern garrisons. Recruit 1000 soldiers immediately."
• You don't drag a tax slider. You tell your meticulous Minister of Finance, "The treasury is running low. Set the national tax rate to 30%."
• Each minister understands your commands, offers advice, and carries out your orders, all while evolving the narrative of your kingdom.

## Forge Your Own Narrative

The game world is driven by an AI storyteller. You'll face unique problems called "Royal Memorials" that are generated based on your kingdom's specific situation. The best part? There are no multiple-choice answers.

• If a plague breaks out in a region, you don't choose between Option A, B, or C. You write your own decree: "Enforce a strict quarantine on the afflicted region, but ensure our royal physicians distribute food and medicine to the innocent civilians within."
• The AI evaluates the creativity and effectiveness of your written solution, which then permanently shapes the history of your kingdom and determines your reward. Your decisions truly matter and are recorded in your kingdom's unique story.

## A Persistent World of Diplomacy & Betrayal

AI Kingdom is a multiplayer world. You can see other player-run kingdoms on the world map and interact with them.

• Deep Diplomacy: Form Non-Aggression Pacts, share intelligence, and even create a high-risk, high-reward Alliance Economy where you and your ally can prosper—or collapse—together.
• Strategic Warfare: Conquest isn't about who has the biggest army number. Your attacking force is determined by the total soldiers garrisoned on your tiles adjacent to the target. This makes strategic positioning, terrain, and well-fortified borders paramount to any campaign. Capturing an enemy's Capital means total victory.

The game is free to play and runs directly in your browser, so there's nothing to install.

I'm actively developing it and would love to get your feedback.

• Read the Guide: https://www.playaikingdom.com/guide.php

Thanks for reading, and I hope to see your kingdom rise (or fall!) in the world of AI Kingdom!
