Heroic Launcher "Run exe on Prefix" not working while in game?

21 Apr 2025 - 4:24am

I'm trying to run a fling trainer or even cheat engine installed in the same prefix using Heroic Launcher's Run exe on Prefix. The problem is, both can't run at the same time. If I launch the game first, then run the trainer, the trainer will not launch until I exit the game. Same thing happens in reverse if I launch the trainer first.

From doing internet searches, this may be due to Heroic and Lutris using umu-launcher now, which is what is preventing two exe's running in the same prefix at the same time. I have tried "Disable umu" toggle in Heroic Settings, tried Wine-GE instead of Proton-GE and tried wine-staging as runners but all produce the exact same problem.

Anyone here having the same problem?

r2modman on Fedora Linux KDE: Is it better to get the AppImage or the RPM?

21 Apr 2025 - 4:16am

AppImage or RPM?

Also, I installed the RPM one months ago and never used it, and it hasn't auto-updated, so I'll either replace it with a newer RPM, or an AppImage. If I end up doing RPM, do I need to remove the old one first? And how would I do that? I'm actually so used to using flatpaks that I don't think I ever uninstalled an rpm I got online before lol

Shogun 2 Linux & Windows Multiplayer

21 Apr 2025 - 4:05am

Has anyone been able to get multiplayer working on Shogun 2 multiplayer running between a Linux user and a Windows user? It seems that Shogun 2 considers linux versions as "modded" even while running through proton, so the versions are not compatible.

Small question regarding fortnight on Linux

21 Apr 2025 - 3:44am

From what im seeing in my library, Valve made a version of proton specifically for easy anti chat. Fortnight uses easy anti cheat. So whats stopping us from using that to run Fortnight?

OBS crashing, 'amdgpu: the cs has been rejected'

21 Apr 2025 - 3:38am

Not sure what is going on but while trying to stream games obs has suddenly started crashing while using the VAAPI encoder(h264 still works, kinda, it chokes my cpu to death).

The error I am getting in console is "amdgpu: The CS has been rejected, see dmesg for more information (-22)."

I tried googling this and got no help, so I am hoping someone here has run into it.

anyone else with 575 nvidia beta drivers getting unplayable fps on overwatch 2?

21 Apr 2025 - 2:29am

iv tried x11 and native wayland and disabling nvapi stuff like dlss and reflex to no avail, the only solution was a driver downgrade but id like to use it if others have found a workaround for overwatch as nothing else had issues.

HDR on titles with a launcher on Proton

21 Apr 2025 - 2:24am

How do I run HDR on titles that, from steam, launch a separate launcher/updater, then, from there, launch the game? Like an MMO, specifically Warframe.

I tried using gamescope --force-grab-cursor -f -w 2560 -h 1080 -r 75 --hdr-enabled --hdr-debug-force-output --xwayland-count 2 -- env STEAM_MULTIPLE_XWAYLANDS=1 DXVK_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command% , all 3 topmost versions of Proton (exp, 9.0-4, hotfix), different commands (I don't remember all of them), and nothing so far worked.

I'm using a relatively fresh install of Bazzite, still figuring out how to translate the workflow I had on Windows on my 2nd day of daily driving a Linux, so I'm mostly a noob, still, so I might be missing something obvious.

If it helps, I'm running Warframe in borderless fullscreen on an ultrawide display that I know has HDR support because I used HDR on Warframe on Windows. I can provide logs if anyone teaches me how to do so, I'm mostly running blindly into things until I learn.

Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 Battery Drain While Plugged and Low Powered GPU

21 Apr 2025 - 2:15am

Hi, I have a Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14APH8 with RTX3050 and Ryzen 7 7840HS. I got this laptop 6 months ago it worked fine until now. The first issue I noticed was the low powered GPU while gaming. I have nvidia-powerd turned on but while gaming the nvidia GPU is stuck between 30-40 watts although the power limit is set to 58 watts(which is the expected TDP with dynamic boost). The 2nd problem I noticed is battery draining while even plugged. To further investigate the issue I turned off tlp and auto-cpufreq and unplugged the power brick and the power draw was 80 watts. My 140W power brick was not able to provide enough power to stop the drain and use the GPU at full power. While reading some similar issues on internet I saw somebody to mention airplane mode. Then I remembered that airplanes have 75~ watts power limits on their outlets.

I use:

-Arch Linux

-Linux-Zen 6.14.2

-Nvidia-open-dkms 570.133.07

-Proton Experimental, GE-Proton 9.27

-TLP default configuration with disabling the CPU options

-Auto-cpufreq with following options:

[charger] governor = performance turbo = auto platform_profile = performance [battery] governor = schedutil energy_performance_preference = power platform_profile = low-power

Here is the nvtop and btop while gaming:

Did anyone here had this issue before or does anyone knows how to fix this? I am downloading Nobara while writing this post and will create a seperate partition to see if that will solve the problem.

Ps5 controller support in steam

21 Apr 2025 - 2:08am

Here's where I'm at.

A while ago, like maybe within the last year, I couldn't get my ps5 controller to work in Steam with pretty much anything.

I searched and searched and eventually found a solution that not only worked, but also felt ridiculously simple how easy it was.

But I can't remember what it was.

I have 2 pc's now-one where steam works with the ps5 controller and one which doesn't.

Despite mirroring the settings in steam between the two as perfectly as I can think to do, nothing is getting the ps5 controller to work on the second machine.

The one that isn't working senses the controller and everything looks like it should work, but once a game is opened it ceases functionality.

What can I do to try and narrow down what the answer was, short of someone here just knowing it?

Any help is appreciated.

Linux Help

21 Apr 2025 - 1:27am

Hello, I'm building a gaming PC, and I'm thinking about using a Linux system (specifically Zorin OS). I like playing games (from story mode to emulators and online games). I also do video and image editing, and I'm thinking about learning programming in the future, but it's just to see if I'll really like this programming thing. What do you think?

Minecraft running at quadruple resolution -> low fps

21 Apr 2025 - 1:04am

Since i switched to fedora (prev. Zorin Os), and played minecraft i realized my game was rendered at 4 times the resolution ( 1440p screen, ingame res 2880p).

That issue happens no matter the window size nor if in fullscreen or not.

I tried multiple launchers (prism, mojang), the issue persisted.

When changing my monitor res from 1440p to 1080p, same thing occurred -> render in 4k... Also when opening it on my second screen the ossue occurred

Using fedora 41, wayland, gnome, nvidia gpu & pop-shell for window tiling (suspected it of beeing the cause, but also when tiling is disabled, the issue occurs)

Thx in advance for advice! Tell me if u need any more specifications!

Wallpaper Engine support or alternative?

21 Apr 2025 - 12:58am

If there is one, what is the best way to use Wallpaper Engine on Linux? Is it possible without their support? If not, is there any other program that can use and browse Steam Workshop's wallpapers like it?

Linux gaming feels like Poland in 1799.

All I see is Proton, Wine, DXVK. It's like Linux gaming doesn't exist anymore.
