Are pings in game accurate if I use a vpn?

30 Sep 2025 - 9:32pm

If I use a vpn and the game shows 200 ping or 400 latency for example is that the ping or latency between me and the game server or between the vpn and the game server since the game server only sees the vpn and doesn't see me therefore leading to showing me inaccurate ping and latency numbers?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to get Turtle WoW running on my setup, but I keep getting a critical error when launching via Lutris. Here's the error:

This application has encountered a critical error: ERROR #132 (0x85100084) Fatal Exception Program: Z:\home...\WoWFoV.exe (ACCESS_VIOLATION) at 0xC0000005 The instruction at "0x00000002" referenced memory at "0x7B01841A". The memory could not be "read". Press OK to terminate the application. My setup: Distro: Linux Mint 21.3 XFCE Hardware: MacBook Air 2015 (Intel Core i5, 4GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics 6000) Lutris version: Latest Wine/Proton: Using Wine-GE-8-25

It crashes immediately on launch. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions for a fix? Thanks! 🐢

Mechanical gaming keyboard recommendations?

30 Sep 2025 - 7:39pm

My venerable Cougar Attack X3 with Cherry MX Brown switches made it 10 years and last night one of the feet finally broke off, keyboard still works fine but doesn't sit right... thinking it's just time for a new one.

Looking for a full-sized (104+) key gaming keyboard with similar tactical feedback switches (can be quieter, but not louder, and want tactile and similar travel/feedback), dedicated volume/mute keys, and any programmable keys and/or RGB needs to be supported in Linux (OpenSUSE if it matters) or be controllable on device without software (this box doesn't have or need Windows, so the answer can't be to program the keyboard in Windows and just use it in Linux). The Cougar worked fine because everything could be controlled on the keyboard itself. RGB is not necessary but some backlighting that can be turned on/off easily is. Price isn't relevant within reason...

Prior to this I ran a Northgate OmniKey for like 20 years at home. At work I use a RedDragon K556 RGB which is actually ok but doesn't have the tactical feedback.

Any recommendations?

My mouse feels laggy and jittery.

30 Sep 2025 - 6:47pm

I need this fixed I dont want to go back to windows.

In game my mouse feels like it has input lag, mouse acceleration, and it jitters occasionally as well.

I have tried every fix I could find and read, I turned off usb power saving, I switched my mouse accel mode to flat, I disabled vsync in KDEPlasma, I even switched from base linux kernel to linux-zen, nothing is seeming to work.

when I move my mouse on my desktop it feels fine, but in any game it feels like there is input lag and acceleration, and I have any software acceleration in the games turned off.

The Alters - Artifacts/Graphic Glitch

30 Sep 2025 - 6:13pm

Hello everyone,

I tried to get The Alters running yesterday but I'm experiencing strange glitches/artifacts. Hard to describe but as soon as I move the courser in the menu, it is as if it freezes the image in a rectangle. Like when you draw a rectangle while pressing left mouse button.

Ingame theres flickering textures like the parachute in the second picture.

Im on Linux Mint and already tried different runners. My graphics card is a RTX 3070, driver version 550.163.01.

I've tried setting graphics to low, disabling all possible options and tried windowed/fullscreen mode but that didn't help.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

When creating this coop game, linux was a priority... But anyone to help us test this on SteamDeck?

30 Sep 2025 - 5:57pm

TOJIBO is a cute coop platformer where you will need coordination and just a tiny bit of thought to reach the top.

If you would like to participate in playtesting (or just want to follow more closely), you can join the discord. We are looking for playtesters from a variety of countries all over the world to test netcode stability, if you have a unique profile, help would be greatly appreciated!

We've had only few linux testers, and no SteamDeck testers so far. If you are one of those, consider joining the playtest to help us confirm it works for you!

If you are just interested in following along, please consider wishlisting us on Steam!

You can also follow us on Twitter and Bluesky.

Thank you!

Quiero pasarme de Windows a Linux

30 Sep 2025 - 5:40pm

Buenas, hace mucho quiero pasarme de windows a linux. Ya probé 2 distros, linux mint y Pop_OS, la que mejor resultados me dio fue linux mint, pero en lo que es juegos no tengo resultados, no tengo mucha idea, intenté usar lutris, wine y proton fuera de steam, pero nada me da resultado, en la mayoría de los juegos tengo input lag o el juego se freezea. siempre termino volviendo a windows 10, que es el sistema operativo que mejor va en general. no juego juegos muy pesados, me gusta el minecraft, el phasmo y el gta v, pero la version legacy.
Tengo una laptop Dell inspiron 15 3525, tiene 8gb de ram, ryzen 5 5500 y 512gb de almacenamiento. me gusta linux por libertad para personalizar que tengo, ya que me gusta mucho el apartado visual de MAC OS y siempre que uso linux lo personalizo para que se vea así.
la ayuda que quiero es que me recomienden una distro que sea estable para juegos, ya estoy acostumbrado a ubuntu, pero no tengo problema es probar algo nuevo. solamente quiero que me anden bien mis juegos, poder personalizar y que en general el sistema vaya fluido.
agradecería mucho sus recomendaciones 🙏
