Recently i've bought a monitor that's not VGA (i had an only VGA monitor with the image connected to mobo with VGA and dedicated graphics were doing all the heavy stuff) and i could disable integrated graphics due to it not doing anything but once i disabled integrated graphics in BIOS i seem to be getting heavy stutters while playing Titanfall 2 and a bit lower performance in general so why is that and how can i make it less stuttery?

Additional info

CPU: Ryzen 5 2400g (upgrading soon)

GPU: RTX 3070

Distro: Linux Mint 22.2

Edit: i do not know if that's the issue because of integrated graphics anymore i enabled it again yet still stuttering

Hi, I am using Archlinux with an RTX 5080, with driver nvidia-open-dkms 590.48.01. So far I have been using command line envvars to control the model for DLSS super-sampling successfully, both using Proton GE and Proton Experimental (or stable branches).

Command used was usually:

DXVK_NVAPI_SET_NGX_DEBUG_OPTIONS=DLSSIndicator=1024,DLSSGIndicator=2 DXVK_NVAPI_GPU_ARCH=GB200 PROTON_ENABLE_NGX_UPDATER=1 DXVK_NVAPI_DRS_SETTINGS=NGX_DLSS_RR_OVERRIDE=on,NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE=on,NGX_DLSS_FG_OVERRIDE=on,NGX_DLSS_RR_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=render_preset_latest,NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=render_preset_latest mangohud gamemoderun %command%

Since DLSS dll 310.5 was made available, this command works fine with Witcher 3, both using render_preset_latest or render_preset_m. The DLSS indicator does indeed shows the model M is used.

However, in Cyberpunk 2077 or Indiana Jones and the GC, this does not work. Actually the exact same command activates model D (for Cyberpunk according to the indicator) or E (for Indiana Jones) in that case, even when specifying render_preset_m. I also tried with switching the DLLs with DLSS Updater instead of using PROTON_ENABLE_NGX_UPDATER=1 but I see the same issue of model D or E being activated.

Has anyone else seen the issue and am i doing something wrong?

The power went out at my house while my PC was on. When I turned it back on, my wireless Wi-Fi adapter had stopped working and all my Steam games were uninstalled, even though I had downloaded several the night before. I asked Gemini for help and he suggested finding the common folder (that folder simply disappeared), and told me to add a Steam folder to storage, but it didn't work, it just vanished. What could have happened? Note: I use Fedora last version kne Plasma, I'm new to Linux, I downloaded it this week.

I installed Heroic Games Launcher from Flathub and Clicked Add Games then put in the name of the game after which i ran the installer and it opened and installed the game then i clicked launch and it opened the game and I was able to play it but when i closed it the executable path wasn't even given so i put this inside :-

/home/pradyumny/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Hollow Knight/drive\_c/GOG Games/Hollow Knight/Hollow Knight.exe

when i click play it opens a little white window with logo of hollow knight on it and it also has a progress bar and when its complete it just closes and nothing happens what do i do?

Note: The Game ran first time with the launch button so its unlikely its a dependecy problem and I gave Heroic access to all files on my computer using Flatseal so that also should not be the issue.

**My Computer:-**

- Core i5 10th gen Integrated Graphics

- Endeavour OS

- Hyprland although i also have KDE Plasma(Both Wayland and X11) and Niri

BTW Pardon my english.

Hello everyone! I was wondering how well does nvidia work on linux nowdays..I've had some of my friends telling me that I should try Bazzite
I'm mainly playing story games like Spider-Man 2 , Uncharted, TLOU .. so no online stuff
Would I see a performance or latency improvement switching to linux or should I stay on Windows 11?
Thanks in advance!

Hello!

I just upgraded from Pop OS 22.04 to 24.04 via fresh install.

I tried to get my games working again using the same identical settings that I did from Pop OS 22.04 to Lutris (both 5.14 and 5.18 versions) yet the games aren't working.

I am using the existing folders of my old games that have the old .exe files that I add using "Add locally installed game" so I don't have to use the installers (for some of them I lost the installers already).

I'm a new Linux convert so I'd need some help in troubleshooting. Thanks!

Hi guys. So recently I've my account got stolen by someone else.Someone has used his/her name to registered an id and I have just found out about it since I am barely playing this game nowadays. Is there anyone know if you can change the id name(account owner name) and the security Q&A? If so, how do i do it?

So I'm currently playing on a Lenovo laptop that has an Intel i7 in it and 16gigs of ram. Running arch on it and playing modded Minecraft for the first time.

With mods like divine RPG, the aether, twilight forest, and many small vanilla like mods. It's able to run at 55-60fps stable. Which is fine, however when I want to use a shader, it instantly becomes inconsistent, usually hovering in the 40s and occasionally dropping into the 20s and 30s.

I have many optimization mods installed like embeddium, immediately fast, C2ME, krypton, Saturn, etc. and the fps doesn't change much.

I'm not quite share how to allocate ram to Minecraft on Linux, or what other optimizations I can do to run Minecraft with shaders at a steady 60fps.

I appreciate any and all help!

Good evening. I am very Tech Illiterate, but Trying.

I am looking to get into PC Gaming from a lifetime of console. Currently, I am trying to set up something on SteamOS - be it either the new Steam Machine or my own build (Price dependent).

My goal is to be able to play some games Modded (Fallout, Cyberpunk, 7 Days to Die [Offline Only], etc.) While playing other games, like online EAC/Competitive games (Dead by Daylight, etc.), completely vanilla.

In doing my research, I am coming upon a suggestion for a "Flatpak" and "Flatseal". The current guidance I've seen is that I should run my modded games on my normal files on the computer, and put my EAC Online Games into this Flatpak. I also saw guidance that said I should Install a second version of Steam on my Device, and use it to run within this Flatpak.

I would then run my modded games through some sort of MO2/Vortex/Whatever style of system and Launcher on the Native Drive.

My Questions: - Does this even work? - If it does work, are there extra precautions I should take? - If it doesn't work, why not? And what should I do differently? - Does this Flatpak prevent EAC from seeing my Ram usage? My biggest concern is forgetting to restart before launching a game to clear my Ram, or having something open with EAC at the same time as some mod thing is running.

Thanks All.

So I've been distro hopping and tried bazzite gnome (which I gave a good 2 day try but cannot get comfortable with gnome) then tried garuda cinnamon and couldn't do it even for an hour. So I am asking the collective for a cinnamon or kde enviorment distro recommendation(s). What games I tried gaming on bazzite played a few game very well (I intentionally tried a silver game per protondb) so I have no worries about compatibility.

I'm thinking of switching to Linux because Windows is terrible for me. I don't want to log my Microsoft account when setting up new Windows. So, is Linux gaming really working well now, everyone? And if that's okay, what configuration should I build pc with the best performance on Linux?

Hi guys, I play Final Fantasy XIV and noticed a problem. It seems like upscaling is not working on my system. When I choose the 1920x1080 resolution in the game, the DLSS overlay ideally should show 1920x1080 → 2560x1440, but it shows:

• 1920x1080 → 2560x1440 in both full screen and windowed mode
• 2560x1440 → 2560x1440 in borderless window mode

My Steam launch options are:

Distro: Cachy OS
Proton: proton-cachyos (native)

borderless window :

any idea would be appreciated. Thanks !

There is patchset (which still needs some work) that works on case that was considered edge-case earlier, but should improve performance in UE5 by notable amount.

When attacking, walking, climbing, I don't hear anything.

I also don't hear most characters' dialogue.

On menus, the sound effects are perfectly normal.

I hear background noise, from the nature in-game.

I've tried different Proton versions, same issue.

Tried verifying game files, didn't fix it.

Noticed that this is the only game with this audio issue.

Does anyone have any idea how I could fix this?

We are on Fedora 43. Games are working great on Proton-GE-latest. I tried to setup Vortex to help my kid do mods. He wants mods for Silksong. I implemented this guide https://github.com/LucaPisl/LinuxModdingGuide?tab=readme-ov-file But while everything installs and directories are parsed with vortex files in staging and in the actual steam directory, when I launch Silksong in steam and when I try F1 to bring up the mod manager nothing happens. Any other guide that can walk me thru the steps to setup modded games for my kid? THANKS!!

My Lenovo laptop must have a very high resolution screen. With Windows 10/11 it just works. On Mint, text is TINY.

But If I enable scaling and go to anything over native (100%) when I start Civ 5 the screen jumps off screen to the bottom left and becomes un-usable. It will not go full screen. The buttons are unresponsive!

If I manage to get back to Mint (Steam blocks me from escaping some times) I can change back to 100% and Civ 5 is usable again.

Help!

Hello everyone!

I’m working on a community project: a Minecraft Bedrock Launcher for Linux, distributed as a Flatpak.
The goal of this project is to make playing Minecraft Bedrock on Linux easier and more accessible.

I would really appreciate your feedback. If you have ideas or suggestions, feel free to share what could be improved, whether it’s the interface, performance, features, or anything else.

You can find the project page here: https://trinitylauncher.vercel.app/

On the project page you will find all the links, including the GitHub repository, Discord server, and other related resources.
Sorry if the website is in Spanish, but it can be read very well using Google Translate. By the way, the launcher itself already has an English translation available.

You can leave your feedback there, contact me directly, or join the Discord server to discuss ideas with the community.

Thanks for your time and for helping improve the project!

Finally found a distro I like in fedora in the KDE environment. I was really struggling to move over since I play a lot of competitive multiplayer games but maybe being here with force me to actually play the 250+ games I haven’t even touched.
