So I recently tried to launch Monster Hunter Wilds and I have had mixed results. When the game would first compile ingame shaders it would work perfectly fine. However trying to launch the game afterwards would result:

1. The window would appear (black screen)

2. Steam overlay displays

3. The window attempts to resize to my monitor

4. After a couple of seconds on the black screen (frozen) the game would crash

System Specs:

12th Gen i7

Rx 9070 xt

32 GB RAM

2 TB ssd

Distro: bazzite:stable Linux 6.17.7-ba19.fc43.x86_64

Launch Options: (tried with and without)

PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 %command%

Proton Version:

GE-Proton10-25

I messed around too much and I got hit with the Denuvo timeout of 24 hours. Anything I should try after 24 hours? (I plan to upload my proton logs when I can) Thank you.

I don't think the comparison makes sense nor the person making the meme strike me as an intellectual person.

graceborne alpha 0.2 just released which requires the use of a .bat file to launch. without it, the game doesn't load sounds, music or enemy replacements properly among many other things. i've tried just adding the .bat file as a non steam game but it just opens the wine console menu and crashes. folks on steamos on the steam deck have informed me that it's working for them, but im on cachyos and am using elden proton which works for everything but this. i can't make issues on their github for some reason so im forced to ask for help here. anyone been able to get this working on distros other than steamos?

Hi guys, I am in the process of converting all my devices to Linux and totally daily driving it. Most of my games and apps have been replaced and are working on Linux. Well I now need to find an alternative to Voicemeeter. I need to be able to route my mic to different channels and put sound of my app through it(like Spotify or my Web Browser). I tried Pulsemeeter and Jackd. While they were alternatives to Voicemeeter, I had no success achieving what I wanted.

I want to know if this thing is possible on Linux? What are your software recommendations? Am I missing something?

Thanks for your help in advance, really happy to be in the freedom community.

Oh and also side note: I use arch btw(if that can be godd info to help me).

People really should stop seeing SteamOS as the Holy Grail of Linux Gaming. There will never be an official universal ISO for all devices, that should pretty much be clear by now. Valve wants certified devices like their own and devices like the Lenovo Legion Go S. Valve isn't a company with thousands of employees that could handle the maintenance of a project like that, optimizing SteamOS so it could fully run on any hardware without any issues.

If people really want good support, they should stick to Valve's recommendations. And if you really just want the experience, stick to Bazzite, choose CachyOS for more freedom or maybe just try something new and learn how to use Linux. You can get the entire SteamOS experience if you just choose any distro and look up how to do it, it is not that hard.

And a good life advice: If you want everything chewed up for you in your life, you will pretty much end bad.

My setup consists of a home theater receiver connected via HDMI to my GPU for 5.1 audio output. Under Windows it keeps the receiver from going into sleep/low power mode by, and I assume, sending a constant what I'll call null/silent audio stream to the device. Linux doesn't do this, which is fine, but is there any way I can replicate the behavior so I don't have a good 2-4 seconds of silence when I let audio lapse?

I've played around with doing this:

pw-cat --playback \ --target alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.hdmi-surround-extra1 \ --rate 48000 --channels 2 --format s16 \ --raw /dev/zero

but it doesn't seem to recover if other audio streams play over top of it and I'm not sure what the CPU hit is.

GPU in question is Nvidia if that matters.

Edit: OS is CachyOS but I can translate to pretty much any distro. Pipewire is the audio subsystem in use.

Hello! Recently I've been seriously considering upgrading my CPU from AM4 to 5 because I wasn't getting the performance I wanted and I thought about dual booting while I was at it.

Before I even considered parts I decided I had an external hard drive so I wanted to try dual booting first just to try it out. I downloaded CachyOS and it took me a second to get everything started and I tried 2 games. RV There Yet? And ARC Raiders

My machine has a 5900X CPU and a 4070S GPU with 64GB of RAM

RV There Yet? On windows I was rapidly bouncing back between 40FPS and 70FPS and ARC Raiders was roughly 55-60FPS

Switching to CachyOS I was getting 110FPS on RV There Yet? And 120FPS on ARC. Is Windows really that bad that switching gave me double the FPS or am I missing something in windows? I did do a fresh install of windows roughly 6 months ago to try and improve performance and it didn't really help me much so I'm just more so astounded at Linux.

My PC has a RX 9070 XT and runs Cachyos and I am trying to use FSR 4 in MGS Delta (if possible). MGS Delta has a FSR option in its settings but it doesn’t specify which version. With proton-cachyos and proton-ge I’ve tried PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 and it doesn’t seem to work (I don’t see the FSR 4 indicator when I use the appropriate proton environment variable). I’ve tried the configuration above with Marvel Rivals and it worked but it did not work with MGS Delta. So is it not possible to use FSR 4 upgrade with MGS Delta or is there something else I can do?

First: English is not my first language, so pardon any grammar mistakes.

Hello guys. I'm giving up. I can't find a way to complete my Mini PC setup. Anyone who knows how to solve EmuDeck/Steam things?

To avoid some obvious answers, I have an Lenovo Mini PC. It uses an Intel Core i5-8500T, and I've put a GT1030 in it AND IT IS LITERALLY THE ONLY GPU I'VE FOUND IN MY -ENTIRE- COUNTRY that would fit in it. IT'S -IMPOSSIBLE- TO CHANGE IT. And my problem is NOT ABOUT IT.

Anyway, my first try with building that emulation PC was ChimeraOS. After a lot of work, I was able to get everything ALMOST working, but since the performance was not good on PS2 games, I had to make the GPU upgrade.

Unfortunately, yes, had to change the OS. Read about distros and choose Mint, very good looking. After installing Mint, installed some Steam games, everything ok. Went to install EmuDeck and everything went downhill. For some reason, the Steam Guide Button NEVER work in emulated games. The only thing aside emulation I want to do in that thing is recording games, and I can't open the Steam "Game Bar" thing anymore.

Tried installing Bazzite, Zorin, Nobara and ALL of them makes EmuDeck go into the same problem: when I open emulated games, the "Guide" button dies. Changed to Retrodeck and the problem got worse, because with Retrodeck even after changing controllers scheme, the emulators don't even recognize the gamepad anymore.

I'm using a Gamesir Nova Lite, with USB Dongle, and Steam recognizes it as Generic Xbox Controller or something like that. That Controller also have a way to make it play like a Nintendo Switch or Android controller, but when I change the controller mode, the emulators die completely.

What the hell I'm missing?

I wondered if there are any projects like JoyXoff on Linux. Before making the full jump into Linux gaming, I was using one of my gaming PCs as an HTPC specifically for games, I was using JoyXoff to manage controller mappings to KB/M. I know something like that exists indeed, but it could be cool to combine it with another project that provides a cool function from JoyXoff, and that's the virtual keyboard. Do you know any program/s to supply that need?

I was trying to play the binding of issac and my controller wasnt working and did nothing so iItried a input test and it said my controller worked fine but for some reason I was getting no input from the right stick as well as both of the back bumpers. I have already tried other bluetooth controllers they all have the same problem.

Has anybody figured out how to get Runelite working on SteamDeck via the official Steam game's launch options? I've been trying for a while now and there seems to be a lot of mixed responses online and I still haven't been able to get it working. I don't know much about Linux so this process is taking much longer then expected. I saw some ways to do it with standalone Runelite but I'm not able to log in unless I have a Launcher nowadays (that's why I'm using the Bolt Launcher). I was able to easily get this working on my Windows 11 PC with the launch options and using the Jagex Launcher but it doesn't seem to be that easy on Linux devices. If anybody knows anything about this or was able to get this to work for them please let me know🙏

Hi! been trying to play counter strike but keep getting this really consistant packet loss, it happens every 1-2 minutes and lasts from 10 seconds - 30 seconds

it looks alot like garbage collection, but that does not really make sense to me for network stuff

Nothing in the router seems to be odd, it reports no blocked packets, and no packet loss is reported for my device, I am on wifi, but I dont get this issue with out it

I am not actually sure if it is only counterstrike, I sometimes get disconnected from other games, and it may be this same thing

Journalctl proivdes no insight

config: https://github.com/skoove/dotfiles

Hi, I recently upgraded my motherboard to Asrock B650 Steel Legend. The audio on it is "Realtek ALC4082 7.1 CH HD Audio Codec."

Unfortunately, my mic stopped working from any input from this device on both Bazzite and Kubuntu. It works fine in Windows. (triple booting...)

I've spent a lot of time googling and trying to troubleshoot, but I've just about given up. So instead, I thought I would try to buy a cheap USB-C to 3.5mm headphone adaptor to plug my headset into.

I bought a UGreen brand adaptor off Amazon, but it doesn't work either! Audio output works fine, but the mic input isn't recognised. Again, works fine in Windows and on my android phone.

So I would like to ask if anyone has a recommendation for a USB-C to 3.5mm adaptor that they know for sure will work fine with Bazzite / Linux, for both headphones and mic.

(or if someone has a magical solution for my motherboard audio...)

Thanks!

So I ran pop os for two years and gaming was great on Linux. I moved on to nobara and had a crash that forced me to reinstall windows 11. I'm now thinking of coming back to Linux. I was thinking of giving nobara another chance but also wanted to hear from the community if there are any other distros I should consider?

Hardware I'm using I9 13700k MSI MAG B760M MORTAR 9060xt ASRock taichi

Some of my previous issues with Linux I think my big issue was support for all the lights I had I bought into the Lian li fans and cables with lights. Also had issues with support of some of my gamepads. I'm getting rid of all the led stuff so won't be an issue anymore.
