I know of Gamescope, Mangohud and DXVK to limit FPS, alongside a game’s internal limit.

By what I’ve been able to gather in my own experience, nearly every game even to this day has an absolutely abysmal built in 30fps limiter with terrible pacing (Oblivion Remastered and FFXVI are two games I’m playing right now that just have awful frame pacing). I usually completely ignore if a game has a built in cap.

Gamescope has so far been nearly flawless for me, perfect pacing but some games seem a little rowdy with it sometimes (FFXVI I see often just going over 30fps despite the cap, maybe an Steam beta update broke it because I wasn’t getting that behaviour in the demo version a few days ago before I switched to the beta to get full functionality on my controller). It also has a much bigger toll on input lag than everything else I’ve tried but that doesn’t bother me much in most games.

Mangohud seems to have quite a lot worse pacing than Gamescope with some stutter but much better than any built in cap I’ve used. Better input lag than Gamescope but I don’t think it’s better overall.

DXVK I’ve never used outside Windows, so I’d like to hear opinions on this.

Are there any better methods or is the SteamOS Gamescope built in method the only one that actually has a completely paced cap?

Hey guys.
I am currently using CachyOS with KDE, and came from PopOS with Gnome in order to try different things.
I used to play Dofus/Ankama Launcher with Lutris/Heroic then, but now I am having two problems:
- As you can see, the windows is kinda weird compared with the "in app" windows. Additionally, the "click" zone is above than my mouse, which makes me thing that it could be related as well with the windows problem.
- Once I try to connect to my account, I am not moved back to the client with the valid response. I also tried different navs and happened the same.

Does anyone have a hint where I could start solving this? I am really lost because I do not know what could be happening and I am kinda lost.

Thank you guys

Hello,

Since yesterday no Steam games are running. Games that start with Wine (Lutris) work perfectly. I started Steam via the termianl and noticed an entry (pid 38393 != 38382, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)

). I haven't found a solution yet.

Tried FSR4 on RX7800XT + R5800X on Linux via Optiscaler. Was much easier to make it work than I thought, considering I am on Ubuntu LTS.

latest mesa + ProtonGE 10.4+ + Optiscaler = FSR4 on RDNA3

Made a quick benchmark:
Resolution: 1440p
All settings epic except four settings under the shading quality block - they are at high.
FSR4 version is 4.0.0

FSR3 scaling Average FPS 100% 51.8 66% 66.35 FSR4 Scaling Average FPS 100% 46.3 66% 59.7 50% 64.5 33% 68 (cpu limited) FSR4 scaling FSR4 improvement vs FSR3 at 100% 100% -11% 66% +15% 50% +25% 33% +31% (cpu limited)

If global illumination is on epic - very severe flickering of grass happens (on FSR4 33% scaling only), there is no such issue if it is on high. Generally quality much better than FSR3 and 50% scaling provides very good experience.

Just got a 9070xt, unsure if that's the changing factor, but audio in discord screenshare works now? I'm running Rocky 9.6. Can anybody else corroborate this?

I built a desktop in 2012 or so that's been a faithful friend for over a decade. It ran Windows 10 flawlessly, was able to run most games at least moderately well, and I never had any issues with opening documents. Specs:

CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K

RAM: 16GB

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070

Drivers: NVIDIA GP104 [GeForce GTX 1070) driver metapackage from nvidia-driver-570 (proprietary, tested)

My desktop is too old to meet the TPM requirements of Windows 11, and I'm very uncomfortable with Windows' increasing spyware and adware. I've always wanted to run Linux, and took the opportunity to install Ubuntu 25.04. I love Ubuntu, I think it's incredible. There are Windows programs I miss (mostly OneNote), but my light usage has gone really well.

However, I have real problems when I ask for any task of moderate difficulty. Transferring files across drives grinds everything else to a halt, and often crashes and requires a hard reboot. I can't open large document files in LibreOffice. Almost any game I run crashes when I try to start a game, sometimes even before opening the game. (VERY lightweight games can run, poorly, but are mostly unplayable.) I can't understand why! Ubuntu must be far more lightweight than Windows, and I'm not doing anything particularly complex or difficult. What am I doing wrong?

This is not a drill Senseis. Blue Archive just released on Steam and it works perfectly through regular Proton. We have never been more back.

Native install of Steam for support sake. The absolute highest I've seen it hit is 127.X Mbps and after a while of running a download it will drop down to 75-6Mbps

I’m thinking about switching my main build to Linux and was curious if anyone here plays Rust consistently and smoothly on Linux. Any help is appreciated

Hey guys, so today my Steam stopped being able to properly launch. Launching it shows an infinite loop, which you can view in the below pastebin below.

No GUI appears when attempting to open Steam.

Launching steam with LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=1 steam makes everything work as normal.

I already tried editing the steam.desktop file and setting the GPU rendering thing to false.

Pastebin link: https://pastebin.com/vKfYuy8U

Any help is appreciated. The only thing different I did today was I had some problems trying to build a .deb package into a PKGBUILD and was receiving some errors with something about qt5-base and I had to add qt-tools to path. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.

EDIT: I'm on Arch

I’m probably beating an old drum here already. But I just wanted to see if there’s a good source anywhere to keep up to date with FSR4 support or progress for Linux?

I recently built a console-like build for my TV with a 9070 XT running Bazzite, and I find every now and then when I search for any updates regarding FSR4 support I get the same results back, to which I’m guessing there has been no real updates. However, I’m still unsure where is a good reliable source to check occasionally besides through a search engine.
