Vulkan has horrible performance on 1050ti mobile

29 Dec 2025 - 9:39pm

Okay, while I knew that Vulkan had worse performance for my GPU when I used Windows, I never had a need to solve this issue before I installed Linux. I would ask for help on other forums but this one is best I found. If you know better place to make request - please provide me with this information.

Anyway, after being fed up with how many resources eat Windows and understanding that my low-end pc really struggle with games, I chose to install CachyOS. Installation was successful and I didn't have any problems, I couldn't play games because they had productivity issues. My GPU is used 100% but overall productivity several times worse than I had in the same game on Windows.

I use HP Pavilion 15x0xxx laptop with gtx 1050ti mobile. I added additional 16 gb RAM to my 4 gb of RAM to having 20 gb DDR4 RAM overall (I know that this is not the best idea, but my current bottleneck is GPU anyway). My connected to laptop monitor is 2k with 144fps but switching from it to laptop's does nothing or minor performance boost.

I also added SSD where I dual boot but don't think this is important.

Overall performance decrease can be seen in two situations:

  1. Game fps is decreased twice as much overall.

  2. Game dps is fine but has huge lag spike whenever there are many visual effects at once (It happens in Grim Dawn when I try to use 1080p on 2k monitor).

Is there anything at all i can do about the ring gfx timeout?

29 Dec 2025 - 9:22pm

It is getting really annoying

for those that dont know some people experience this bug with (newer) amd gpus on some games (but afaik not consistent between cases i.e for one helldivers might run fine while for me sometimes it just does this) and the last time i checked nobody was quite sure why it happened or how to reproduce it

Enshrouded

29 Dec 2025 - 9:19pm

Hello,

I bought Enshrouded a few days ago and tried to play. But as many other mentioned, my loading screens takes like forever. Can't start my local game. Only once it worked, but after dying -> loading.

I tried Proton experimental, GE10-27 and 9.0.4. Changed graphic settings...

At the moment I use cosmic and pop os 24.04. 16gb ram, ryzen 7 2700x and RX580 with 8gb.

If necessary I would change distribution. Is there somebody who can play the game. What is the proton version and Linux distro. Or any other ideas? Thank you in advance.

Mangohud doesnt show the overlay

29 Dec 2025 - 7:59pm

so i know that mangohud is installed and works but i cant get the overlay because i tested it with a command (i dont excactly remember what it was) mangohud vkube or smth like that and the spinning cube showed up but no data of any sort if its even supposed to have any on it

also the data doesnt show up in goverlay either BUT it shows all the data i want in mangojuice?!?!!?!??! Do i let mangojuice make the file and could that be it?

i setupped my config file in GOverlay and my steam is native aswell as mangohud if im not entirely mistaken

https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud/releases link where i downloaded it from i got the tar.gz file so idk if thats flatpak or native

i am on pop_os and system specs are rtx5070 R5 9600x 32 gigs of ddr5 6400mhz cl36 just in case you need that info

my gpu drivers are 580 if that helps

Having many issues running Steam remote play on my Pop Os laptop

29 Dec 2025 - 7:16pm

Hey there!

My laptop is running Pop Os 22.04, and I'm trying to remote play my Windows PC running Battlefield 6 over the internet.

Thing is, whenever I click "Connect" from the Steam library, I see a window pop up on my primary screen for not even half a second and it closes immediately. The "Connect" icon on my Steam Library goes from green to a blue "Stop" for a couple of seconds and then it switches back to "Connect", as if the remote play client was instantly crashing.

Thing is, randomly it will actually work and run, but when it does so my mouse cursor isn't being locked to my secondary monitor, which makes playing a FPS completely impossible as I keep clicking on my browser when I try to aim or shoot...

Do you have any idea what could be going on here ? (I'm running Steam flatpack if that's of any relevance)

Thanks a lot !!

Steam game won't launch

How long should the installation script take to run? I let it run for 10, 15, and 20 minutes. I tried to shut down the dxsetup.exe process, but it didn’t help. I’m using Ubuntu 24.

screen tearing in where winds meet

29 Dec 2025 - 7:08pm

I don't want to use vsync because it adds input lag, I want the game to use freesync from my TV. In monitor settings I can see refresh rate says adaptive but there is clearly screen tearing so it's not working properly. Is there any command line or anything in steam to force using either freesync or HDMI's VRR?

I'm trying to connect a controller to parrot OS, but it's not registering any input

29 Dec 2025 - 6:43pm

I have a knock-off switch pro controller, which works on Windows 11 (last tested yesterday), but when I boot into Parrot OS and connect it (I have tried both a wired and a bluetooth connection), it doesn't register any input, and when I load ryujinx (which is what I'm planning on using the controller for), it doesn't register the existence of the controller. Does anybody know what the problem is. I have tried rebooting the controllers, testing multiple controllers, connecting both through bluetooth and wired connection. I am using ryujinx v1.1.1403, and 21.0 prod keys and firmware.

GTA V enchanced via Heroic ? How well does it run ?

29 Dec 2025 - 6:14pm

I saw the page to do this

This I think I may just missed something during moving files around

So does it work okay? At first I wasn't getting anything but then I moved it to nvme and it launched lol. But I think I did force update at one point and only got part redownloaded during move around on hdds.

Doing a re-download now as was hoping to see what enhanced looked like. Don't really care about online just play through single tbh.
