controller issues

20 Nov 2025 - 1:47pm

okay so ive been searching and i cant find anything
so i use a Bluetooth switch gamecube controller, and ive used it for a while
on windows i never had this issue (which i understand the OS's are different) anyways
so i use cachyOS (but ive had this issue on endeavouros as well)
firstly my analog stick struggles to input at certain angles, which makes basically most 3d games unplayable
secondly my triggers arent recognized
and third on steam the inputs are all messed up, A is the left trigger, B is the a button, x and y arent recognized. point is, not remappable
any help would be much appreciated. thank you for your time

Removal of DXVK_FRAME_RATE env in DXVK/VKD3D

20 Nov 2025 - 1:34pm

Many probably don't know but doitsujin (DXVK dev) decided to eliminate the DXVK_FRAME_RATE env after an issue from a user complaining about something very specific that doesn't apply to most people who use it.

Result of this? VKD3D-Proton also removing the env that made it easier to limit the fps with just one env in DXVK/VKD3D.

Their suggestion is to simply use MangoHUD (which at least I think works worse and doesn't get along very well with LSFG-VK for example)

Sources:
1. https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/5330

  1. https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/pull/5331

  2. https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/pull/2708

What do you guys think about this?

Titanfall 2 crashing silently when launched inside gamescope

20 Nov 2025 - 11:39am

I am using Steam on Arch (with Hyprland) and recently found I could get a much better experience by running steam within gamescope to stop hyprland from managing game windows incorrectly, and fix a random cursor bug I was having when I was using Niri.

This has worked well for all my games but not for Titanfall 2. For some reason, the game seems to instantly close without any messages in the terminal when it does so.

Command I am using to run steam inside gamescope:

gamescope -W 2880 -H 1800 -r 120 --prefer-vk-device 1002:1900 -e --mangoapp --force-grab-cursor --cursor-scale-height 1600 -- prime-run steam -bigpicture

(prefer-vk-device set to iGPU and prime-run are there to make it work on my Optimus laptop)

Launching Titanfall from Steam normally works perfectly fine, through the same EA launcher popup.

What logs can I look at to troubleshoot this?

Petition to Rockstar to enable BattleEye support for Linux

20 Nov 2025 - 9:59am

Hello r/linux_gaming!

I have recently converted from Windows 10 to Linux (Fedora 43 for those who care) because of Windows 10 EOL, and was saddened to learn that I could not play GTA Online with my friends due to BattleEye. I was further saddened when I learned that enabling Linux support is simple, in theory; most things I have read say that all a developer has to do if they want to enable Linux support for BattleEye is ask BattleEye to turn it on.

Because of this, I have created a Change.org petition. I know that even if this were to get thousands of signatures it's unlikely that anything will change, but I'm optimistic nonetheless. Please, if you have a minute, sign my petition, and if you have another, share it with your friends who game on Linux. My hope is that if the petition succeeds and Rockstar allows Linux users back into GTA Online that this may cause a snowball effect with other companies who currently do not allow Linux gamers into their online games, so the more the merrier!

Thank you for reading, and for those who go on to sign, thanks for signing.

Ping problems Sober "Roblox"

20 Nov 2025 - 8:18am

https://preview.redd.it/f1n5oi5x4d2g1.png?width=458&format=png&auto=webp&s=1f5c5f121579b6e5bae136aa2963acde72bc2790

I’ve been having a lot of ping issues on the unofficial Roblox Linux distribution called “Sober.” My ping literally went from 45 to 7,000 in less than 10 minutes of gameplay. I’ve tried everything to fix it, but nothing works. It’s not my internet, because I play other games on my PC using the same network and I’ve never had similar problems. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this issue?

Steam Workshop Mods Not Downloading (Garuda)

20 Nov 2025 - 8:09am

Crossposting to hopefully get a few more eyes on this.

This used to be a problem I ran into on Windows all of twice, but now that I'm learning Linux (Garuda, to be specific), I'm not really sure where to start troubleshooting.

I tried clearing the download cache and changing download regions, but the only game I have is a fresh install and none of the mods I subscribed to in the workshop have even attempted to download.

Any ideas?

Edit: drive is encrypted via whatever the default settings were on the Garuda installer

Some advise from a newbie

20 Nov 2025 - 6:49am

I had some trouble yesterday evening with my Kubuntu (25.10). Cause as I wanted to play a little Dead Cells after work, I started my Elite 2 controller and … it wasn’t set a connection. I opened Bluetooth Settings and yes … no adapter detecting. After 2 hours troubleshoot on a Wednesday evening I reinstalled bluez, set Kubuntu on an older version and tried some workarounds with a friend with new AND older firmware for Mediatek. At the end, after many reboots, I was tired and my friend told me a funny story about his Kubuntu and his Intel Module not working anymore. His solution was to power off and unplug his pc for 10 seconds. We laughed and I said, „Yes, that should I try at least“, with my thought my module just died. I power off and unplug it, safely press the power button without electricity and rebooted it and then, like a miracle, everything was just fine … What we are learning from this story? At the end I don’t know what really helped but now it working. If you have some issues, maybe turn off and even unplug it :D.
