It lags on the lobby and i dont know why. Do i need to install a driver?

linux mint 21.3 ryzen 3 2200g rx570 kernel 5.15.0-161

Wasn't sure about which flair or tag to put so I'm gonna go plain. This might get asked a dozen or a thousand times already but there have been new developments in recent times.

Paradox games have provided Linux native games, most notably Hearts of Iron IV & Europa Universalis 4, but seeing that new EU5 has dropped Linux native support citing "increased work on support and development of Proton" which I think is just bs and laziness.

With booming success of handhelds running Linux and upcoming Linux consoles by Valve (Steam) it actually surprises me that lots of new games don't have either Native nor somewhat good Proton support (mainly thinking of games like Call of Duty not working due to their kernel-level anti-cheat) with around 4 million steam decks around the world, that's quite considerable marketshare, if they sold just a million of copies that would be significant earning.

Now my question is, why are investments into Linux quite low from biggest of developers, while small, up and coming developers from games such as Dispatch or Silksong, have quite good proton support and their games work like a charm.

I've been torn between these two considering how well they do gaming in their own way but I can only work with one on my machine right now.

Hello Dear Linux Gamers!

We just released our game Dice of Kalma last week and since some of our devs are Linux users we decided to bring that game for Linux as well!

Dice of Kalma is a deckbuilding roguelike where you play dice against Kalma, the grim guardian of the Underworld. Build a deck of powerful skulls, find synergies, and turn the dice to your favor to escape back to the world of the living.

Hopefully you enjoy it as much as we do :)

how do i enable esync on dinit i use artix i couldnt find anything about this

So I’ve been looking into Linux and I wanna switch from windows but I’m scared that if I hate it I won’t be able to switch back to windows because I don’t have a physical hard drive big enough to hold all my stuff on to use when I switch. I’ve used virtual machines and like them but I need some advice on what distributions are the most user friendly for customization but also gaming. I don’t play anything with anti cheat so I’m not worried about it. I’m just scared of losing everything and messing up my pc. I also don’t wanna try switching back to windows then not being able to use the same key if I really do hate using Linux lol. Please help.

I own a steam deck , use the desktop version and now i download bazzite ( because people said it the same as steam os) on my pc. Why? Because i kinda give up with windows. I still a beginner but kinda familliar in linux.

1. The real question how do i download nvidia app (rtx4070 my gpu) on linux. I really need to use the ai sh*t. I prefer my game running in 2k 240fps using nvidia smooth motion.

2. What important app that i need in bazzite or linux in general that small thing that change my experiance.

3. Is there something i should know about linux that probably helpful in the future

Executor for roblox on linux?? (idc if its bannable)

Would Anti-Cheats like easy anti cheat and battle eye run on Linux if i set them up in a Windows VM? I was thinking about switching to Linux but i occasionaly play such games with my friends.

Hi!

So this is for the 2 people who maybe attempted to play this mod on Linux. I don't want to start X11 vs Wayland war, please don't make the comment section a war zone. So, if you attempted to play this mod with Dark Souls 2, you may experienced the same thing as me. Performance monitors showing 60 fps in game with smooth frame time, but the game was choppy after you installed the mod. Switch to X11, it will work perfectly with the mod. I'm on a full AMD PC, and i tested the mod in KDE-Wayland. The mod will stutter if you using Wayland, same thing with GNOME. KDE, Cinnamon, XFCE, Budgie with X11 works fine with this mod.

I hope this helped for 2 people at least :)

So i installed gzdoom deb version and it shows an error that it cant find any IWADs and first place them in the config folder. but, the error continues even after doing that. after a bit of searching, i used command lines to force gzdoom to run the wads but the error still comes up
same problem happens with the flatpak version

Dear community, I am having difficulties with an old game that doesn't want to run, Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed from the year 2000.

I got the installer from myabandonware.com and I install it via Lutris, all goes well, but when I launch it I get an error message saying something lilke "you have DirectX 0 and you need DirectX 7 for this game" and I can click options "yes" or "no" (??) and the game then exits.

Has anybody found a reliable way to play old DirectX 7 titles?

In dialogues, during loading screens, including the one going into main menu, during movement on locations. Without rhyme or reason. Used Proton Hotfix, 9 and 10, tried window mode, tried different graphical settings -- nothing helps. Game can work fine for five minutes, or freeze every five steps taken, only to go on fine after a few reloads. When the game freezes, sound still goes on undistorted and the game does not close itself, requiring killing the process. Another thing is, when alt-tabbing or otherwise switching to another window the game reliably freezes about 9 times out of 10.

I'm using Linux Mint, with a Lenovo Laptop that is well above recomended requirments. Since the laptop has 12th gen intel CPU, I thought that might be the issue, like it was with Titanfall 2 for me, but using the string of launch attributes that fixed TF 2 for me did nothing for Disco Elysium (the string being: "OPENSSL_ia32cap=~0x20000000 %command%." without brackets)

Hello r/linux_gaming !

I’ve been replaying this masterpiece lately and decided to push things even further...
so I installed a new ultra-realism mod to make the whole experience even more immersive.

The visuals, the atmosphere, the small details… everything feels way more alive now.
