I switched over to Nobara 43 KDE from Windows 11 very recently. This is the first time I have joined a Discord call with my friends on Linux and they are telling me my microphone quality is noticably worse than when I was on Windows. When I first bought these headphones and used them on Windows everytime I talked to someone new they commented how clear they sounded. When using the "Mic Check" in Discord the first thing I say comes through pretty much as I'm saying it, then everything else I say comes through very very delayed. I have wired SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 headphones. Are there audio/microphone drivers I could be missing? Please help.

So, if you do "RUN INSTALLER FIRST" when adding a new game, the installer installs the game in the path "Heroic/Prefixes/default/Title", that is, you have to point the launcher at the exe there.

But then, the actual prefix for where the game thinks it's run is actually "Heroic/Prefixes/default/name-of-game", so save files and stuff get stored there.

To make matters more confusing, if you select to run an exe in prefix afterwards, it runs in "name-of-game".

What?

After they launch they work perfectly but that launch time is killing me. I assume this isn't normal.

I've got a proton log file but can't figure out what's causing the issue. I have notice a lot of repeating logs so I assume it's trying to do something, keeps failing until it doesn't then launches the game?

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Hello all, I recently upgraded my system to AM5. I got a new motherboard, CPU, and RAM. I kept the GPU and SSD. I am on linux mint and when I open Steam, it pops up then goes away. Steam is open in the 'applets' section but nothing ever appears. I can see the steam icon on the taskbar flash every so often but nothing. I'd rather not reinstall so any help would be great, thanks.

Unless somebody knows about a damn good guide to creating virtual displays for Moonlight.

Proton 10 seems to be bringing a lot of improvements.

I tried playing AOE4 many times on Ubuntu in the last years. Yesterday I got a new computer, installed Ubuntu and decided to have another go at Steam.

To my surprise, I was able to play Age of Empires 4. I did have to switch to the specific version 10 of Proton on Steam, so it wasn't out of the box. But still, a great improvement.

Thanks to all Proton devs!

I use mint linux and i REALLY need app like x-mouse i wanna to do a macro to spam space

The truth is, going through Linux has been tough for me. It’s not just click and play; you have to adjust a lot of things, and I’ve had to do almost everything myself. At least, on the bright side, I am learning. But now I’m facing a problem I don’t understand. Steam and Heroic don’t seem to work well together. I have Silksong on GOG, and while playing it I noticed the cinematics run terribly. On ProtonDB, it’s clear that natively it doesn’t work well and you need to use Proton-GE. So, I make a Silksong shortcut in Steam and set that compatibility mode to use this Proton. But it ignores me: when I hit run, sometimes it just sits there forever, or if Heroic is open, then it launches. I don’t understand what’s going on.

I'm trying to get into modding, starting with getting the Cyber Engine Tweaks mod to work. I have it in my bin folder. I also made sure to copy and paste:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winmm,version=n,b" %command%

in my Launch options in my Properties. For some reason, while the Cyberpunk launch window does show up, confirming to hit play only follows with nothing happening (with my Steam game page going from "stop" to "play")

How do I fix this?

I moved to Linux jut about 1 week ago and I want to play this game, Is one of my favorites, but when I try to install it I can not put the CD Key in.

Like I can, but the first space does not allow me to put the last letter (Let’s say that the first part of the key goes like IFFKL, well I can not put that final "L" in it). Any Ideas? I tried to put a virtual desktop and everything but there was no luck.

Vulkan can do the shaders in the background without any hiccups

If you have a modern CPU which you probably have.

I’m bringing this up because I recently bought a pair of the more ergonomic Legion Go 2 controllers and ran into an issue when using them with the original Legion Go.

When I connect the controllers, the gyroscope stays permanently enabled, causing the mouse cursor to constantly drift or “fly” around—this happens in games, in Gamescope, and even on the desktop.

I’ve tried disabling the gyro via the terminal, but none of the fixes seem to persist. After a reboot or certain inputs, the settings revert and the issue comes back. Has anyone else experienced this or found a permanent solution?

I can't login to PlayStation in order to connect to my Epic Games account. I tried every browser available and the problem still persists. I have no issue when log in on my phone (except Firefox), but the moment I power up Bazzite and Heroic Games Launcher it can't connect to Sony servers.

Was wondering if anyone figured out how to get it up and running. Couldn’t find anything online so I’m asking here. Have attempted running it through Lutris but to no avail, haven’t tried it through steam yet so I’ll update you guys if that ends up working.

Hey!

So I'm having an issue with Bloodlines 2 not launching, at least 9 out of 10 times. If it does it runs good on a low-medium settings. My PC is old, i7 4790, 16 Gb RAM GTX 1070. I'm on Opensuse Tumbleweed. My nvidia driver is 580.119,02.
If I put -dx11 in launch options of steam it launches everytime without a problem, but runs like 20 FPS slower, stutters a lot and have artifacts.

I've searched a lot but couldn't find a solution. Is there any to this problem?

Thank You!

I've been thinking about making the jump to Linux, but have wondered how well modding works. Specifically wabbajack mod lists. I know its possible, but how much does the performance differ? (Example: Lorerim/Loreout) (I have a 5080 GPU)
