Video at the end, I guess. Was expecting it to be at the top, but posted this on r/linux4noobs and the video got sent to the end of the post.

I dind't do much on the OS after installing it, but I believe everything is updated (both the Update Manager and the Driver Manager says there's nothing new to be installed for quite some time now).

I've tried everything in the ProtonDB page that vaguely mentioned texture issues or flickering of any kind and nothing seems to even reduce the problem. Everything in the game also works just fine, like sounds and controls, the problem is only in the flickering textures (the weird framerate is just because of the recording).

Specs:

• OS: Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon
• KERNEL: 6.8.0-51-generic
• CPU: Intel Core i7-8565U @ 1.80GHz
• GPU: Intel Mesa Intel UHD 620 (WHL GT2)
• GPU DRIVER: 4.6 Mesa 24.2.8-1ubuntu1~24.04.1
• RAM: 16 GB

What I saw in the ProtonDB page and I tried includes this (there was some other stuff but I test so much things from there I can't remember all of it):

Switching Proton versions:

• Standard version as well as Proton Hotfix (don't know if those two are the same but, in any case, there's a drop down menu that specifies this "Hotfix" version)
• Experimental
• 8.0-5
• 7.0-6
• 6.3-8
• GE 9-27
• GE 9-XX (I believe it was 20-something, unfortunately don't have the files anymore)
• GE 7-48

Setting launcher options:

• WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json %command%
• WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b;winmm=n,b" mangohud %command%
• WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll=n,b" %command%
• __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 game-performance %command%
• gamemoderun WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll=n,b" PROTON_USE_DXVK=1 %command% -dx11
• RADV_DEBUG=llvm %command%

On the game settings:

• Changing resolutions
• Changing graphical presets
• Disabling the "improve performance by model swap"
• Fullscreen, Windowed and Borderless windowed
• Framerate cap
• Vsync on and off (which I still didn't figured out what it do)

Other stuff:

• Changing the config.ini file "WindowModeOption" line
• Deleting the config.ini file
• Installing the reframework mod that says to correct some dll problems
• Booting the game without external monitors connected

Other games that I was able to play without a problem like this one (I don't know, maybe it could help in something):

• Fate/EXTELLA LINK (Steam, install and play)
• PAYDAY 2 (Steam, install and play)
• Project Wingman (Steam, install and play)
• X2: The Threat (Heroic, update Wine version to the most recent ProtonGE version because of fullscreen issues)
• Flatout 2 (Heroic, update Wine version to the most recent ProtonGE version because of fullscreen issues)
• Project Wingman (Heroic, update Wine version to the most recent ProtonGE version because of fullscreen issues and install vcrun2022 because the game wouldn't open)

hey, so i have an older laptop with and old ass pentium and 820M gpu. The newer distros example mint 22 dont support drivers for this gpu and installing 340 or 390 driver causes an never ending boot, so is there a distro that supports older hardware? or do i have to use older version of for example mint, if so what version?

I downloaded Retroarch on my raspberry pi 5 that I recently bought and it just wouldn't load the cores to download

I spent ages trying to figure out the problem and I realised the URL for the core download in the config was blank

Can someone please tell me what URL I should put there

Hello everyone , I am loooking for free chill relaxing games , prefferably working nativly on steam or working with Proton, i would like it to be free.

I tried on my system but it crashes at the start when displaying the mandatory information screens, on controls and autosave.

I wonder if people managed to run the game and it's something specific to my computer or in need of a patch?

Bug opened on proton github in case it's global: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8626

The search option in website discards my search as it consists of words that are common. For example I can't search "High on life" because the words "High" "on" and "life" words are common.

I've been using Smart Video Wallpaper for a while now and never really thought much about its performance got cause it pauses the video whenever something runs in the foreground. But recently I realised that I have a noticeable performance hit on the game I play on Linux compared to windows (which I made a post about in this subreddit) which made me think that maybe this is the one causing the performance hit. Can someone who had knowledge about this add-on give me an answer? I really love this add-on and I prefer to not get rid for it. Thank you

Where do I even start to fix this?

Before I buy a quest 3 with my birthday money I would like to know how it runs with the link cable on Linux.

I've been using a modified Windows 10 operating system and I'm fed up with it, so I've decided to switch to Linux, primarily for gaming.

I have an HP Pavilion 15, 16GB of RAM, an Intel Core i7, and an NVIDIA MX 250.

I want to know if I can just install Linux and play games. I want to play TF2, Speedrunners, and PVZ Garden Warfare 2.

Might be a dumb question but I have a 10xx series GPU and read that Pascal drivers will be legacy and won't get much support. I only play old titles like games from 2008-2015 mostly. I wonder if pascal GPUs works fine on linux or does it have a lot of drawbacks?

Was trying the FFXVI demo (performance was surprisingly playable despite this issue), but after going into full screen (borderless or not), it seems like the game quickly just freezes on a frame until I alt tab out and back into the game. The game is still running, just isn't updating visually.

Tried running a few proton versions (9, 9 GE, experimental) same thing occurs.

Here's the log from a session: https://www.mediafire.com/file/6sto5bytistc76y/steam-2738000.log/file

This warning show up a lot, not sure of it's relevance:

1000.000:018c:0190:warn:vkd3d-proton:d3d12_device_QueryInterface: {a7aa6116-9c8d-4bba-9083-b4d816b71b78} not implemented, returning E_NOINTERFACE.

Any insight would be appreciated!

it's the only supported distro by valve (excluding SteamOS)

I just upgraded my setup from a Ryzen 5 3600 to the 7800x3d so I swapped everything from a am4 motherboard to an am5, my GPU is a 3060 so I expected some bottlenecking from what PC builds bottleneck calculator told me, but just not my games struggling to load certain graphics. So far I've tested the upgraded build with Helldivers 2 and Baldurs Gate 3, fps is stable it's just not loading or struggling to load certain graphics.

In helldivers 2, a bunch of different barriers and crates won't load their graphics. Not where they're silver or it's just missing their textures, they are straight up invisible.

Baldurs gate 3 also experienced some extremely slow loading on graphics when I load my save file even when I lowered the settings.

I updated my kernal, turned off secure boot, tried the three most current proton fixes and experimental and updated my Nvidia drivers.

Is there a setting I can change that I missed?
