Without a log ill be brief incase anyone has had and solved the same problem. Laptop is hp pavilion 15-n268sa with amd a10-5745m with 8610j and 8600m series gpus ....the j can only use radeon drivers while the m can use both....however no vulkan if i use both so the m is using amdgpu drivers and when launching hl2 (the original 2004 disk) im getting xorg crash. I managed to get it working with software rendering but it was so dismal theres no chance playing it so i will grind on. If anyone has any knowledge or can genuinely help i can provide logs from lutris (what im using to launch with various wine runners in 32bit) or journalctl etc.

As the title says I'm experiencing hard lockups when playing some games on an older system with a Radeon 7970.

The game that most consistently locks up is borderlands 3 and it happens about 30seconds - 1 minute of game play. The lockups never happen at the character select screen but in game. I played Valheim for over 1 hour and it was fine, tried the superposition benchmark and it was fine.

So far I have tried different proton versions 9, 10, hotfix, experimental and latest cachy proton and the latest cachy proton with PROTON_DXVK_SAREK=1.

The full system specs are an Asus P9x79le, Xeon E5-1680V2@4.4GHz, 4 sticks of 4GB DDR3 2133 CL9, Seasonic M12II (520watt) and its running cachy os (fully updated)

I have tried other GPUs in this system like a Radeon RX580 and RX Vega56 and both were working fine, was a bit worried about the PSU but with the Vega56 the system was pulling just over 580watts at the wall (lol) and it was fully stable for over an hour in BL3.

I also have another Radeon 7970 which I tried and it was the same way. Both these Radeon 7970 cards were fine when used with windows. The one 7970 was also used for a while in a linux mint system for minecraft, roblox and borderlands goty enhanced (this mint system was running the card with AMDGPU forced with the kernel parameters).

The reason I'm using this system is because of the recent updates to AMDGPU for these old GCN cards and the VRAM management for low VRAM cards.

I'm just looking for suggestions on what I can try to get this working. I do have some logs I can post later. I had PROTON_LOG=1and journalctl from after the latest freeze.

BTW, was really surprised at the performance of the Vega card, it was running BL3 65% faster than the RX580. I don't remember there being such a big gap between these cards.

I'm looking for a way to monitor hardware performance from my phone and get notifications if something is abnormal

I got an open box pc from microcenter with a liquid cooler and I want to know when it starts failing.

Hey i just switched to linux Open Suse Tumbleweed and love it but everything with stretched resolution is very pixelated and it bothers me much, it wasnt like that on windows, what can i do to fix it

Hi everyone.

I just released a native Linux build of my game's demo on Steam.

For context: I tested it via WSL and it seemed to work, but I have no idea how it actually runs on a real Linux device or Steam Deck.

I actually managed to test audio after installing too many packages, but there's still a lot that I don't know:

- Does manual save / load work? (auto-save should work since it uses localStorage)
- Do emojis display? I had to download a package for them, otherwise they were blank.
- Is performance fine? Graphics are minimal, so it should be, but who knows.
- Does it actually work?

The demo is free. If you try it, let me know how it went! Link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3474140/Azmar_Quest__Text_Based_RPG/

Thanks!

after the season 7 update the fps drop to 1 for 3-5 seconds, the game was running well before
i suspected cashyos and zram cause i installed them lately but also my friend have them ( he even worst cause he has to kill steam)
i dont seem to notice any pattern other than it rarly happen in pve and a lot in pvp
my system:

my system

my friend system

I am using Linux mint 22.3 cinnamon.

I have tried installing steam in every possible way (flatpqck, system package, deb etc), but every time I run through the same problems.

The app does not seem responsive to my commands; I can not change the default the proton version or the language at settings, it refuses to uninstall games ,or open it's properties, or browsing the game's local files when clicking on the buttons for each option.

On the other side, when going to interface, it allows me to change font size, icon size and contrast, so it definitely not GUI problem.

I tried forcing hardware acceleration of, killing stuck background processes, updating my kernel and verifying installation integrity.

Nothing seems to work and it refuses to change steam default UI to beta UI.

anyone facing the same problems?

And how to overcome?

I've followed this guide https://gitlab.com/risingprismtv/single-gpu-passthrough/-/wikis/home step-by-step, but I can't get my dGPU to work!

My host desktop runs on my iGPU and I'm trying to passthrough my dedicated RX 7900XT. I even dumped my BIOS from Windows, just in case, and I deleted every hardware device the guide guy didn't have in his screenshots.

At first, I got a "Please wait... Loading files" message on a black screen when booting the W10 VM, and virt-manager just froze, so I deleted the tablet device and other devices I didn´t need and now I get a message saying "Graphical display is not configured yet".

If you need logs or any info, let me know please!

I was able to eek out more performance on my RTX 4060 Asus Dual OC by locking clocks with gamemode.

:::: Running start script [sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-smi -pm 1 && sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-smi --lock-gpu-clocks=2655,2800 && sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-smi --lock-memory-clocks=9501]
:::: Passed
:::: Running end script [sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-smi --reset-gpu-clocks && sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-smi --reset-memory-clocks && sudo /usr/bin/nvidia
-smi -pm 0]

/etc/gamemode.ini

[custom]
# 1. Persistence Mode
# 2. Lock Core to your OC target (e.g., 2655 MHz)
# 3. Lock Memory to your OC target (e.g., 9501 MHz for +800 OC)
start = sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-smi -pm 1 && sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-smi --lock-gpu-clocks=2655,2800 && sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-smi --lock-memory-clocks=9501

# Reset to factory behavior
end = sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-smi --reset-gpu-clocks && sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-smi --reset-memory-clocks && sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-smi -pm 0

Add your user to the sudoers file like this so nvidia-smi registers:

john ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/nvidia-smi

It really made a difference with CS2 lows at 1440p.

I still run W10 on my PC (at least until the ESU ends) and I'm thinking about switching to Linux instead of W11, but I haven't really tried it yet.

For now I'd like to test Linux a bit in a dual boot setup, but I can't install a separate SSD atm.

My Windows install is on my C: drive and I don't really want to risk anything (neither for that install and also not for the Linux install), so I don't want to install Linux on that drive.

I do have two other drives installed that both have games on them (both are relatively full tho, I could uninstall stuff, but I'd rather not tbh).

Can I use one of those drives and install Linux on a (let's say 100 GB) partition there without any trouble or would you recommend just fully clearing one and use that?

For now the Linux install will only be for testing Linux as a whole and maybe trying different distros anyway, whenever I decide to switch full time (or use it as a "main" OS with the windows install only there if needed), I would of course dedicate a full drive anyway.

Hey gang, me again. Having a sucky part-time job means I have more time to dink around with my machine again, as opposed to a couple months ago when I first switched to Mint.

I have a 2T drive that I'd like to have available to run my single player steam games, and maybe partition so that I have another 1/2T for miscellaneous file storage. What should I do?

When I first made the switch to Mint, I checked some forums and tried to configure the disk accordingly but nothing worked (very well could have been operator error). Now I can't remember what I tried, but I'm sure that this isn't a totally unique situation, so I humbly ask for a hand.

I was playing SMT Vengeance on my Endeavor when I noticed that the game was capped at my monitor’s maximum refresh rate (240 Hz). I disabled VSync in the game settings, but the game was still capped at 240 FPS. I tested this on my Cachyos, and, believe it or not, the game was still capped at my monitor’s refresh rate. Then I played the game on my Fedora machine to test one last time, and the game exceeded my monitor’s maximum refresh rate with VSync disabled. Any explanation for this? I think it might be an update that affected how the game manages frames and that impacted my NVIDIA GPU. I used KDE Plasma on both systems.
