Uninstalled all Xbox Games. Cancelled Game Pass. Playing Steam Deck only

19 Nov 2025 - 1:26am

Sick of what Microsoft is doing. I’ve cancelled Game Pass and I’ll keep the Xbox offline for now. I’m on the Steam Deck in the meantime, and I know a lot of people feel the same way. I’ll grab the new Steam machine and the VR headset when they land. Fresh start coming.

First time setup

18 Nov 2025 - 11:17pm

Hi everyone. I have had a steam deck for a few years now and have loved the experience. I have 4 kids, and the sleep resume feature is basically the only reason I can game at all anymore. With the announcement of the steam machine, I got curious if something similar could be achieved with my old desktop. I followed a guide to dual boot windows and bazzite. After some searching it seemed like a pretty close experience to steamOs.

What I'm looking for is the ability to suspend and resume at will, similar to the steam deck. I just finished installing and booting into bazzite and I'm looking for what my next steps should be. Also fine if I picked the wrong distro for what I want to achieve. Willing to go another direction if needed.

I've also read that gamescope is important for a steamdeck like experience, but I'm not sure what that is, or what I need to do to use it.

Also welcome are any general tips for desktop linux gaming. Thanks in advance!

cloudflare, curl / git and now my favorite game :(

18 Nov 2025 - 11:05pm

what's going on.... :/
Can't launch "The Finals" either. - same issue

I tried swapping off of linux-tkg kernal to arch kernal and no fix..

I'm debating on doing a reinstall?.. I think the error is related to EAC internal server error but I see other Windows users are able to play the game right now..

When I click "Create memory dump" this is the output

Steam (both regular and native) - audio is fine, but I got no microphone

18 Nov 2025 - 9:53pm

Hi guys!

Got a weird issue with Steam games on my Garuda Linux (Arch-based).

I’m playing Arc Raiders right now and thought I’d set up my microphone to talk to people. Got the gear connected (Plantronics blackwire, USB-C teleconferencing set), but there was no indication of there being any audio input in the game.

I ran Steam → Settings → Voice → “Start Microphone Test” and noticed that the input indicator does not budge.

Did some looking around the Net, however most issues I found were about audio in general not working in Steam, which is not my issue - mine is only the microphone. People suggested installing pavucontrol, which I did. I could now see that when I ran the mic test in Steam, my mic showed up under the “Recording” tab, so it seemed that everything is fine, even if the indicator in Steam didn’t budge.

However, when I used the push-to-talk button in the game, no such thing happened, there was no audio recording marked in pavucontrol at all.

I also checked the Arch Wiki and - based on a warning there - uninstalled Steam (Native) and installed Steam, but that didn’t change anything.

I’ve no idea what else to try… I’d appreciate any help!

Cheers!

Linux for daily use and gaming.

18 Nov 2025 - 9:53pm

Hi guys,

I know this stuff gets asked a lot but i can't find all informations i want right now. So basically i want to switch to Linux because Windows drives me crazy.

I'm looking for the right distribution for me, watched some stuff about Mint, Arch, Cachyos, Fedora etc. but i cant decide which i should use.

I installed cachyos just to check out the linux feeling, not gonna lie i love how simple and clean it is. But i had problems with secure boot in that case, so basically all distributions seem to have up and down sides. Can someone recommend me which distribution i should start with?

What i look for:

  • enabled secure boot (i know mostly it will work with commands etc)
  • Nvidia friendly
  • Good environment for gaming
  • Daily usability
  • Good support for external hardware like for the streamdeck+
  • Up to date kinda feeling when using it.

Sry for anything noobish in this post. I'm just curious about Linux Gaming

Run PES with patches

18 Nov 2025 - 9:50pm

I'm not much of a Reddit user so I'm sorry if I do something wrong, but have you managed to run PES with patches? I can run the base games smoothly without bugs, 2013 feet, etc., but I've never been able to play with cast updates, etc., if they already did, how did they do it?

Are there any clear instructions on how to run Optiscaler + FSR4 on Heroic Launcher games?

18 Nov 2025 - 9:38pm

Every game I have tried on Steam seem to work perfectly. Press insert and the menu pops up without issue.

I just add this line to the launch options:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES=d3d12.dll=n,b %COMMAND%

On Heroic launcher it has only worked for Alan Wake 2 and for no other game.

Granted I don't have that many DLSS games there, the ones I've tried are: Cyberpunk, Deathloop and Guardians of the Galaxy.

On Heroic Launcher I'm setting the env variables instead of the launch options, for Alan Wake 2 I set these ones:

PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1

DXIL_SPIRV_CONFIG=wmma_rdna3_workaround

Though tbh I have no idea if they were even needed.

I also tried setting the same as in steam but without the %COMMAND% of course but that didn't seem to work. Any idea of how I get my Heroic Launcher Games to use optiscaler correctly?

The PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 option seemed to enable FSR4 for cyberpunk but then it crashes.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I'm using Nobara Linux and a RX 6700 XT

BepInEX 5.4.2304 issues on r2modman

18 Nov 2025 - 9:33pm

I want to start this by saying I've been using r2modman for quite a while and have had very few issues that were not easily fixed. I obviously use Linux, and am running Ubuntu 24.04.

This issue started a few days ago when I was playing Polarite (new Ultrakill multiplayer mod) with one of my friends, and everything was working perfectly, until I noticed a new BepInEX update on r2modman. Naturally, I updated, expecting it to work fine, as always, but then I tried launching the game, and the BepInEX launcher didn't load. I tried downgrading (to 5.4.2100), and it still didn't load, so I tried again on a different game, just to see.

The game was Lethal Company: The updated BepInEX wasn't working on Lethal Company either, so I downgraded it (to 5.4.2100), and it started working.

I drew this conclusion: The new 5.4.2304 BepInEX was not working on any modded games I had. Has anyone had a fix for that?

And question #2: What should I do to get my mods working again on Ultrakill?

If needed, I can provide more details. Thank you!

Rocket League on Steam Deck with Heroic Launcher

18 Nov 2025 - 7:55pm

I'm thinking of playing RL on my Steam Deck, since I'm looking for more games that are better for controller, and I'm wondering how well it'll work with Heroic and, if I can set it as a non-steam game.
