Video at the end, I guess. Was expecting it to be at the top, but posted this on r/linux4noobs and the video got sent to the end of the post.

I dind't do much on the OS after installing it, but I believe everything is updated (both the Update Manager and the Driver Manager says there's nothing new to be installed for quite some time now).

I've tried everything in the ProtonDB page that vaguely mentioned texture issues or flickering of any kind and nothing seems to even reduce the problem. Everything in the game also works just fine, like sounds and controls, the problem is only in the flickering textures (the weird framerate is just because of the recording).

Specs:

• OS: Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon
• KERNEL: 6.8.0-51-generic
• CPU: Intel Core i7-8565U @ 1.80GHz
• GPU: Intel Mesa Intel UHD 620 (WHL GT2)
• GPU DRIVER: 4.6 Mesa 24.2.8-1ubuntu1~24.04.1
• RAM: 16 GB

What I saw in the ProtonDB page and I tried includes this (there was some other stuff but I test so much things from there I can't remember all of it):

Switching Proton versions:

• Standard version as well as Proton Hotfix (don't know if those two are the same but, in any case, there's a drop down menu that specifies this "Hotfix" version)
• Experimental
• 8.0-5
• 7.0-6
• 6.3-8
• GE 9-27
• GE 9-XX (I believe it was 20-something, unfortunately don't have the files anymore)
• GE 7-48

Setting launcher options:

• WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json %command%
• WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b;winmm=n,b" mangohud %command%
• WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll=n,b" %command%
• __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 game-performance %command%
• gamemoderun WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll=n,b" PROTON_USE_DXVK=1 %command% -dx11
• RADV_DEBUG=llvm %command%

On the game settings:

• Changing resolutions
• Changing graphical presets
• Disabling the "improve performance by model swap"
• Fullscreen, Windowed and Borderless windowed
• Framerate cap
• Vsync on and off (which I still didn't figured out what it do)

Other stuff:

• Changing the config.ini file "WindowModeOption" line
• Deleting the config.ini file
• Installing the reframework mod that says to correct some dll problems
• Booting the game without external monitors connected

Other games that I was able to play without a problem like this one (I don't know, maybe it could help in something):

• Fate/EXTELLA LINK (Steam, install and play)
• PAYDAY 2 (Steam, install and play)
• Project Wingman (Steam, install and play)
• X2: The Threat (Heroic, update Wine version to the most recent ProtonGE version because of fullscreen issues)
• Flatout 2 (Heroic, update Wine version to the most recent ProtonGE version because of fullscreen issues)
• Project Wingman (Heroic, update Wine version to the most recent ProtonGE version because of fullscreen issues and install vcrun2022 because the game wouldn't open)

hey, so i have an older laptop with and old ass pentium and 820M gpu. The newer distros example mint 22 dont support drivers for this gpu and installing 340 or 390 driver causes an never ending boot, so is there a distro that supports older hardware? or do i have to use older version of for example mint, if so what version?

I downloaded Retroarch on my raspberry pi 5 that I recently bought and it just wouldn't load the cores to download

I spent ages trying to figure out the problem and I realised the URL for the core download in the config was blank

Can someone please tell me what URL I should put there

Hello everyone , I am loooking for free chill relaxing games , prefferably working nativly on steam or working with Proton, i would like it to be free.

I tried on my system but it crashes at the start when displaying the mandatory information screens, on controls and autosave.

I wonder if people managed to run the game and it's something specific to my computer or in need of a patch?
