KDE mouse escapes in shooter games - common problem?

25. Oktober 2025 - 15:29

In different Games (The Finals, Arc Raiders, Tina Tinas Wonderlands...) the mouse escapes onto the second screen if I don't use proton with wayland - so every game needs a command to work properly. I'm not the only one as a friend who only recently switched to linux faces the same problem.
Is there a more new user friendly way to solve this problem?
Now to the second part - I recently got into Hunt Showdown, but to invite friends the steam overlay is needed and that doesn't work with wayland enabled. Is there a way to fix this?

Does anyone know a software that supports the G PRO X Superlight 2?

25. Oktober 2025 - 14:51

Piper supports the OG Superlight but not the Superlight 2 and any other software I've seen either don't work or don't have anything above DPI. Thanks for any help!

Is there any way I can invert mouse (Y axis) for a game, when there is no ingame option for it? Using the Steam client or Lutris or Heroic.

25. Oktober 2025 - 14:29

I can't find a way to force-invert the mouse Y axis for a game, does anyone know a way?

It would be better if there is a toggle, so that I can temporarily set it back to normal in menus. But even without a toggle, I'd very much like to invert the mouse camera in a couple of games that do not support it natively.

Thanks for any help..

Disabling ReBar with a VKD3D flag or how to (maybe) fix incosistent GPU utilization

25. Oktober 2025 - 14:25

Just wanted to put this here so others can find it when googling...

In Cyberpunk I experienced a degraded framerate consistently after menuing or when talking to NPCs. Turned out that my GPU wasn't being utilizd fully in that scenario (thermals ok, only drawing a fraction of the possible power) and I had to load into a new area to fix it (until it happened again which was giga annoying).

Anyway, I found out that some people on Windows disabled ReBar for fixing this issue. I didn't want to do that in the BIOS as i wanted ReBar enabled for other games, so I went digging and eventually found this flag:

VKD3D_CONFIG=force_host_cached

Just put it in Steam's launch option for any game that shows issues that might be fixed by fiddling with ReBar. As far as I understand, it should work both for NVidia and AMD GPUs.

Lo and behold, Cyberpunk now uses 100% of my GPU all of the time, no more shitty framerate.

I don't own any other games with this issue, so please, if you manage to fix something else with this, leave a comment so people can find it when searching.

Help with playing games on Linux Mint - Steam games.

25. Oktober 2025 - 14:02

Hi Everyone,

I just switched to Linux mint and it's a rewarding experience. Everything works out of the box and I'm really liking it. Now, I want to play my steam games on Linux Mint so I went through all the documentations, reddit answers and tried installing Batman Arkham Asylum but it won't start. I'm getting a box of errors, the launcher has black rectangles and the game won't launch. I think I'm missing something here. I'm new to Linux gaming so can someone please help me with this? Is there a step by step guide? Thanks in advance.

I may have cocked up with Steam and I need your help

25. Oktober 2025 - 13:11

(Please be kind, I'm trying to learn, sometimes at my own expenses..)

Hello, last night I tried to install Dirt Rally 2.0 on my secondary NTFS drive, as my main one didn't have enough space left, and it didn't launch. I had a few other games installed on the main drive, which launched perfectly until last night, so I thought ok, I move all of the installed games and Proton bits and pieces to the secondary drive and make it the default one, but they ALL refused to launch at that point. So I thought ok, let's uninstall Steam altogether without moving the games backwards and forwards, then I purged everything from Steam to do a clean up (using sudo apt purge steam*) and when I tried to reinstall via Mint's store, it says this:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

steam-installer: Dipende: steam-libs-i386 (= 1:1.0.0.79~ds-2)

same story if I try to install via terminal, it says:

I seguenti pacchetti hanno dipendenze non soddisfatte: //(the following packages have unmet dependencies)

steam-installer : Dipende: steam-libs-i386 (= 1:1.0.0.79~ds-2)

E: Impossibile correggere i problemi, ci sono pacchetti danneggiati bloccati. //(Impossible to correct problems, you have blocked damaged packaged)

How do I solve the issue?

My NVIDIA GPU is Underperforming on Fedora – Only 20 FPS in War Thunder

25. Oktober 2025 - 13:10

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing a serious performance issue with my NVIDIA GPU on Fedora. Even though I have installed the official drivers (following multiple tutorials on YouTube), my GPU isn’t being fully utilized.

Specs:

GPU: NVIDIA [insert your exact model, e.g., GeForce GTX 1660]

OS: Fedora [insert version, e.g., Fedora 42]

Driver: NVIDIA proprietary (latest)

The Problem:

In War Thunder, the FPS never exceeds 20, even on medium settings.

nvidia-smi shows that GPU usage is only around 6%.

I used to play the same game at 60 FPS on Windows with the same GPU.

CPU usage is normal, and nothing else seems to be limiting the system.

I have tried reinstalling the drivers, switching to different versions, and checking GPU settings, but nothing changes.

Things I’ve Tried:

Installed NVIDIA drivers via RPMFusion and official NVIDIA website

Checked with nvidia-smi and glxinfo to verify driver installation

Tried running the game with prime-run (command not found issue)

What I Need:

Any advice on why my GPU is not being fully utilized on Fedora

How to force War Thunder to use my NVIDIA GPU

Suggestions for troubleshooting GPU performance issues on Linux

Thanks in advance for your help! Any guidance would be appreciated.

25. Oktober 2025 - 12:57

Hi everyone, I bought Mortal Kombat 1 on steam, and I don't understand why the full screen option doesn't come out, there is only the borderless and window option. In fact the game doesn't run very well in a borderless window having an i9 11900kf and 12 gb rx6750xt, I use bazzite as a linux system, thanks a lot to anyone who can help me!

R2modman doesn't find steam

25. Oktober 2025 - 12:21

I tried running modded Rounds with R2Modman, but it keeps telling me I didn't select the correct steam executable. I tried the one in /snap/bin/steam, which even opens steam when i click it...

Can someone tell me what I need to do?
