been trying out Arch for the past week or so, and really enjoying it. everything so far has actually gone pretty smooth, but there has been one issue ive been running into. i notice, when i play online games, Deep Rock Galactic in this case, my game has these weird micro-stutters every so often. the game is still playable, but its still enough of a nuisance that i want to try to find a solution. i ran a system monitor while i played so that i could try to get a better idea whats going on, and when the game stutters my network usage always spikes to max. ive also noticed that this stutter is not an issue when i am playing solo without other players, only when i play online or i am using a lot of network resources does the stutter show up.

does anyone have an idea what could be causing this?

as the title says.

my current setup looks like this:

OS: linux mint 22 cinnamon xorg; GPU: amd radeon RX 7600 XT; monitor one: alienware AW3423DWF (144hz, freesync capable); monitor two: dell U2515H (60hz, no freesync)

i've been using linux mint for a year and a half but i've been having issues with random fatal freezes (whole system becomes fully unresponsive and requires hard reboot) in some games, and i'm about sick of it. i haven't been able to find a fix, but as far as i gathered from other posts, it's got to do with xorg, and with VRR being enabled. the only way i could play games with VRR enabled is by disabling my second monitor completely before launching a game (via steam, using proton).

ideally what i'd like to achieve is to be able to leave my second monitor on, have VRR working on my main, and not worry about those random fatal freezes. so basically a functional experience lol. oh and if any of them can also do HDR that'd be nice, but idk how realistic that is.

what distros would you recommend in this case? i don't mind trying new things if they work. thanks in advance!

First time caller, long time listener here.

I realize this is probably a loaded question so don't throw rocks immediately. I'm new to Linux and I have 5 yo Dell XPS with an i7 and 32 GB of ram and a decent AMD video card.

The main/only purpose of this machine is like I said, to run MS Flight Sim, X-plane, and DaVinci Resolve. I have looked through the FAQ and just got more confused.

I have installed Ubuntu Game pack (https://ualinux.com/en/ubuntu-gamepack) but I can't get DaVinci Resolve to install. Steam installed just fine. I just don't know that this is the right flavor I need.

So what say you gurus?

the Mangohud overlay isn't showing up when I run OpenGL games with Proton, but it works fine with DXVK. i have tried adding to the command prefix "mangohud --dlsym" in the lutris but that didn't help either. By the way I am on Arch Linux and using Lutris to manage my games, How can i resolve this?

Recently I tried to fire up Black Ops 3 to play some custom Zombies. A few months ago I was able to play the game complete with mods and custom maps with no issues. (Save for the occasional crash) but now I can't seem to get the game to work properly at all. The game gets through the intro movie and to the title screen, but when I press a key to enter the menu it completely freezes before exiting about a minute later, also completely crashes Steam along with it.

Sometimes the game gets stuck on compiling Vulkan shaders or doesn't even launch at all, or at least doesn't seem to create a window. btop shows me that the process is running though.

I've tried at least 5 different versions of proton, including some of the old versions of ProtonGE I had installed prior, also tried the latest version. (GE Tried updating my NVidia Drivers (I was using the beta drivers from the AUR at the time) and then tried downgrading them version 550 with mhwd. Even tried installing the T7 patch but nothing seems to work.

Also tried running in Safe mode when the game prompted me to do so but no dice...

Weirdly people are still reporting on protonDB that it's working fine...

Anyone else having this problem?

Hello everyone, first of all, I hope you all had a good Christmas 🎄 I'm new to the world of Linux, it's only been a few days since I tested Fedora 41 KDE on my PC from I'm loving the experience so far, but I'm having a frustrating issue with Steam and the Rockstar Games Launcher. Issue :
• I launch the Rockstar Games Launcher via Steam (installed with Proton or Lutris).
• The launcher launches correctly, but once closed, Steam continues to display the status “launched”.
• Force closing via Steam doesn't change anything, and after a while, Steam ends up freezing.
• I can close the launcher via the KDE task manager, but the logo remains in the bar. Even right clicking > "close" doesn't work.
• Can't restart Steam without restarting my PC.

Configuration and tests performed:
• OS: Fedora 41 KDE, with Wayland enabled by default.
• Proton: I tried several versions (excluding GE), the problem persists.
• Lutris: Installing and launching the Rockstar Games Launcher via Lutris works, but I prefer to use Steam to centralize everything and take advantage of features like the [screen recorder](https://store.steampowered.com/gamerecording).
• Clean install: I uninstalled/reinstalled Fedora KDE and started again several times, without success.
• Installing Steam via Fedora Linux or Flatpak, problem persists on both.

Questions :
• Do you think the problem could be Wayland? If so, could moving to X11 solve this problem?
• Are there any specific logs or tools I could use to diagnose this problem more accurately?
• Has anyone encountered a similar problem with the Rockstar Games Launcher and found a solution? Thank you in advance for your ideas and help! I would really like to start my Linux adventure in good conditions. 😊

Soooo... Here is a weird thing.

I am currently trying to play RDRII Online on Steam. So I've tried going through desktop and gaming mode yet it does not work. And also when trying to click on forgotten password or create a new account it just does nothing. Besides, seems like clicking in the "Settings" gear icon makes it crash and it reopens right after.

But then, installing the launcher throug Lutris it does work and it does log in and let me type my credentials.

What am I doing wrong?

I seem to have this problem with other games, although I haven't checked their logs to see what they say. Any help is appreciated!

As the image Shows, I have two monitors, a Dell which i use for my primary, and an Acer I use as a secondary, the "Primary" doesn't seem to do anything, except change the placement of the task bar.

All of my games get launched on the Acer, and when I lock my screen the field I have to enter my password in appears on the right monitor as well... This wouldn't be a big issue, but sometimes launching the games there permanently messes up the games FOV, even when I move it to my primary display, this was the case with Stalker 2 at least.

I am not sure if it is relevant, but when I first set up this computer I couldn't get steam to launch at all unless if I ran the Steam command from a terminal, I had to modify the steam.desktop file and change the line

to

In order to get steam to run at all.

Any help and suggestions is appreciated, thank you for taking the time to read my post!

So, I've got steam and lutris installed, playing my steam games on steam and my GOG games via Lutris. I tried to play some Gladius - relics of war with my son, in the same house, who installed it from Lutris. Note that steam is not involved here, except through possibly through Proton I guess? But when we both start the game, I get a notification from Steam that the game is shared and already running and will shut down in two minutes. What the hell? Has anyone had this happen? I'm testing my way through it now, but it bugs me a hell of a lot that I can't use my game on my own computers, when I've bought it.

Cannot get this game to run no matter what I try, always ends up at black screen after the logos occasionally with some sound but never anything on screen.

Kinda feel as though I've exhausted all the fixes I could fine, but would welcome any suggestions.

Running PopOS with XFX 7900 GRE and R7 7800X3D

Troubleshooting:

• Proton Hotfix, Experimental, GE-21, 9.0.4
• Launch options: radv_legacy_sparse_binding=true radv_zero_vram=true RADV_DEBUG=nodcc %command% +com_skipIntroVideo 1
• Deleting TheGreatCircleConfig.local file
• Editing lower pool size in TheGreatCircle.local
• Deleting the streamline folder
• Running in safe mode
• Reinstalling the game, verifying file integrity

Been away from linux for 9 years. When my daughter was born, time for certain hobbies had to go. Now as a pre-teen she wants nothing to do with us parents :( But this means it is the perfect time to jump back into linux. Below are the questions I have as someone out of the loop and jumping back in.

• VRR (nvidia 3090)
  • KDE over gnome?
  • Seems wayland is the way to go over X, correct?
  • Any news on multimonitor support with VRR? I have two VRR monitors and want to use the second monitor for youtube/etc while I game on the other with VRR.
• high polling rate razer mouse
  • For openrazer, will I need to install kernel-devel each time there is a new kernel update for openrazer to work?
• Headsets
  • Does the tutrle beach stealth 700 gen 2 max work using the wireless dongle?
  • Does the logitech g733 work using the wireless dongle?
  • Are there any EQ applications that can adjust either of these headsets?

I appreciate any guidance on these.

I had to reinstall my system for various reasons, i set it up the exact same way but this time Celeste (the game i play the most has crazy screen tearing. I could try to reinstall my OS all over again but I really don't want to do that again. My guess is that it's a nvidia and wayland issue because i have an nvidia rtx 4060 and the nvidia-dkms drivers. Celeste runs in an XWayland window btw

Hey Linux Gamers,

This video showcase MudRunner gameplay on Linux os and most importantly the control configuration and steam command hints to be used to make the wheel work with ffb in mudrunner. Same goes for the gear shifter.

Check it out if you're into sim on linux.

Cheers.

I use LACT to tweak my GPU and while the voltage slider works fine with stock core clock, it seems very inconsistent when there’s OC applied and at times feels like it doesn’t even do anything. I first noticed it when I loaded a game and got 20C hotspot delta, even though it previously was at 10C in the same scene with the same settings. I use kernel 6.13. My settings are definitely properly applied with every boot, I have the LACT daemon running and the clocks always match.

Does anyone else have this issue and is it 6800-specific or Linux-driver-specific?

hey has anyone tried to get a varjo aero to run on linux? I'm just curios because it's the only headset I have
