steam and cs2 or any other game from steam doesnt let me choose my mic even though the system and discord and sober can use my mic pls send help

This game perfectly launched the first time via bottle. But after i tried to run it again the second time, it just throws up a black screen like in the picture. I've tried reinstalling runners and DLL Components.

I tried to install the game files again and ran via new bottle i created, it ran for the first time again and when i tired to run it for the second time, it threw that black screen again.....

I'm playing Dying Light; The Beast. I′ve bricked my game by enabling ROG Duo support on my Zephyrus Duo SE but I installed linux-cachyos into it. Previously, it was working well, but I just wanna try if that option works on linux, but seems not to be. I′ve already tried deleting the config files in the documents folder, reinstalling the game through a backup, launching the game with launch options but still wouldn′t work. As long as the secondary_ui.exe pops out the game freezes and I can′t get past through it.

Just got a crazy good deal at best buy for a low end gaming laptop. HP Victus 15 with a Ryzen 5 7535HS and Radeon RX 6550M. Gunna upgrade to 16GB of DDR5 memory as it only comes with 8. I know very little about Linux especially when it comes to gaming but what distros work with PCSX2?

I’m running two Wine-based games in Lutris, with one suffering from high latency. Is it possible to run them concurrently while routing only the affected game’s traffic through Mudfish VPN?

Hello all o7, recent linux convert here

I'm running wow on cachyOS through Faugus Launcher , everything is working great expect TTS it uses some very strange and very robotized voice, is there any way to change it to something more natural like its under windows??? because it makes TTS from weakauras just hard to understand, thanks in advance!

I run an Nvidia RTX 4050 and i Plan to play "the finals", and i have a few questions about performance before the switch: does DX12 run Better comparse to DX11 even with the shitty drivers? Is the performance loss big comparse to Windows? Hardware: RTX 4050 Intel i5 13420H 16 giga RAM (Switching to AMD Is not an option for me)

I’ve got a 1024x768 monitor and the lowest resolution linux mint will go to is 800x600 how do I add more resolutions and anything I need to know specifically for games? (I’m running gog fallout via lutris)

Afternoon,

I recently switched to Linux Mint and valheim has been crashing consistently.

Investigating the player log I see these consistently

When it crashes it involves a segfault, but theres very little information

I added the flag it mentions to both my steam launch and tried running the game via cmd line with ./valheim,x86_64 but go no additional info.

Any help please?

Hi. I decided to take a swing at CachyOS again (I have been on Garuda for years). Here's the problem: On the cyberpunk2077 benchmark, under the same settings, with FSR4 Quality, I get better performance on Windows 11 than on CachyOS. I did follow whatever information I could find to do it (basically pass an environment variable to cachy proton). In terms of settings difference and for added context, my PT game performance on Windows 11 is the same as my linux normal RT Ultra, with FSR4 to quality and FG enabled. Visually, Windows 11 also seems to look better. What could I be doing wrong?

I'll post exact numbers once I'm off work.

I haven't "game" for years and was really hopping to get some games this week and relax with them during the weekend. Is steam still the best place to get them? I see their sales aren't really that great (like way back in the day) or are there other places with better sales? Thank you

(Looking to buy Death Stranding, MGS Delta, Dead Space remake and maybe one of them new silent hill games)

Lately I have been started to game casually on Arch Linux and I was disappointed every time I wanted to install a game (cracked or not) except maybe steam, maybe because dualsense doesn't work in fitgirl games even with steam input ! And I straight up can't use any wine version be it proton-ge wine-ge except System (10.19) and every time I think maybe I should switch i spend hours and return back to the same state. Maybe I should switch to windows or maybe reinstall linux ? I kinda like the new windows xbox gaming thing but HATE pretty much every update they do really confused and frustrated. Your suggestions are valued !

I would like to hear a bit about your experiences, especially if it involves gaming.

Not only youtubers, but streamers as well!

which would run faster on.my 2013 imac cachyos vs windows 10 ltsc

Got a weird one, and something that I have not experienced with any other game on steam.

I recently bought RDR 1 on steam, because it was on sale. When I tried to play the game it locked up my system and a couple seconds later everything came back and the game + steam is just closed.

When I say "lock up" i specifically mean this,

The Monitor hangs on a frame, audio persists and I can hear (for example) music in the background still, and after about 10 seconds the system becomes responsive again after Plasma respawns it self and kills steam and RDR 1.

I do have a log, but I am unable to understand exactly whats wrong. The log refers to an "Illegal Instruction" but I do not know what exactly is failing.

Now whats interesting is that I have another copy of the game obtained elsewhere that does work fine. No crashes, even after a lot of time.

System Info:

If you have any specific questions, I will answer.
