Problem with force feedback on the Logitech G920

2 Nov 2025 - 2:23pm

So i have a Logitech G920 and it generally works fine under linux but it looks the driver is expecting uninverted force feedback. Which is a problem because on Windows the Logitech driver expects ffb to be inverted and some games like Euro Truck Simulator 2 just assume that if you have a Logitech wheel ffb should be inverted and don't give a way to uninvert it.

So is there a way to make the driver accept inverted ffb just like on Windows or at least somehow uninvert ffb in ETS 2 because most other games just give a checkbox to not invert/invert ffb but ETS 2 for some reason doesn't.

Gamescope works to launch any app... but 0 games.

2 Nov 2025 - 2:10pm

Hey, there's this weird thing I have with gamescope.

I have it installed as a deb, and I want to use it with Steam, also installed as a deb. If I do gamescope -- firefox : no issues, there is the gamescope window and all.

But as soon as I do, in steam, gamescope -- %command% : the game doesn't start (and I tried many). And I can add arguments or remove them : same issue. whether it's gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -f --hdr-enabled -- %command% or just gamescope -f --%command% : the game doesn't launch.

It never happened to me before, isn't it odd ? I'd expect that if I had steam flatpack or else, but everything is deb here.

Ubuntu 25.10, Wayland, NVIDIA.

Does fsr4 int8 work well on rx 7600 with fsr 3.1 games?

2 Nov 2025 - 1:30pm

I know it works on windows. I use debian or fedora depending on the time. I run most of my games in bottles. In my country 9060 xt 16gb is 3x more expensive than rx 7600 right now.

Specifically interesting in playing indiana jones and the great circle, cyberpunk, and kingdom cum 2.

what is currently the best way to game through a windows VM?

2 Nov 2025 - 1:11pm

i heard VMs support GPU passthrough which i also heard makes gaming through VMs viable. unfortunately i have encountered a game i would like to play that is totally nonviable to play even through wine/proton, and it's not linux's fault. is it viable? what programs should i use? ive heard of virtmanager, is that a good option?

this is my pc if that helps https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9XTXgB

Arc Raiders lost connection

2 Nov 2025 - 1:09pm

Hi, long time Windows user but W11 is way to intrusive for my taste, so I installated and updated Zorin OS 18 (seperate SSD, dual boot) and I'm very impressed. I'm having some trouble with Steam/Arc Raiders which sometimes play fine but half the time is looses connection. I can reconnect, but unless some ARC or Raider has wasted me, I can play again but then it looses connection again. You get the picture. My PC in connected to the router via cable, and it never happens in Windows. Any ideas for a fix would be highly appreciated (could it be the UFW...)?

Cannot run Mesen2 v2.1.1 on Linux Mint?

2 Nov 2025 - 12:52pm

Hello everyone! I'm on Linux Mint 22.1 CInnamon and I wanted to try out Mesen2, but it won't boot at all. After first extracting the 'Mesen' file and clicking it, the initial configuration window pops up normally and I set it to install in a folder on my desktop & generate a shortcut as well. After installing everything, clicking the desktop shortcut doesn't do anything. It doesn't matter if I install in my user profile, the problem is still the same. My SDL2 is v2.30.0. Any ideas?

Dual booting concerns

2 Nov 2025 - 10:20am

I have not made the switch yet, but the thing that is making me pause is the support for NTFS. I have two drives that are massive, and I still need windows for Illustrator, or unsupported games, so completely going to Linux as of now isn't realistic.

I have four drives, two are ssds. The other two are 20tb each. I can't really sacrifice one for Linux, just one of the ssds. Are my concerns valid?

I was thinking of dailying Debian since I am already familiar with it.
