A few days ago, I attempted to install Battle.net by adding it to Steam. First, I downloaded the installer and added it to Steam. Then, I opened its properties window and set its compatibility to use Proton Experiment. It launched and ran fine, but then changing the target from the installer to the launcher wouldn't work. I tried adding the launcher to Steam separately and then removing the installer, but deleting the installer deletes the install directory and everything in it.

My family plays 7 days to die together, and the linux port is really bad. I get 60fps on high on windows, 30 on low on linux. I have newer games that run at 60fps in proton, and I'd like to see if it runs better.

I just can't figure out how to install the windows version.

Hi!

I started playing CP2077 again after buying the DLC for 15 USD at GOG.

However, driving in this game sucks big time! Thus I decided to install mods for the first time ever, so I went to GOG and installed RED Mod from the store, and turned it on in the launcher.

Afterward, I manually installed the following mods from Nexus:

• Cyber Engine Tweaks (yes, I downloaded https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe and ran it on the same wine/proton prefix of the game)
• redscript
• RED4ext
• ArchiveXL
• TweakXL
• Native Settings UI
• Codeware
• Mod Settings

Then I restarted the game and... nothing. The installation instructions for RED4ext says:

5. (Optional) Check the log file in <game_directory>/red4ext/logs/red4ext.log to make sure everything works.

However, I have nothing:

~/Games ➜ ls -l Heroic/Cyberpunk\ 2077/red4ext Permissions Size User Date Modified Name drwxrwxr-x - jorge 27 may 17:22  plugins .rw-rw-r-- 1,1k jorge 23 ene 16:59  LICENSE.txt .rw-rw-r-- 2,1M jorge 23 ene 17:03  RED4ext.dll .rw-rw-r-- 10k jorge 23 ene 16:59  THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.txt

I can't stop driving like a drunk man in the game, please help 😭

I'm on NixOS, btw.

I successfully installed Wasteland from Steam on Fedora using Lutris. I then successfully installed Command and Conquer Generals on EA/Lutris. But when I tried installing Warhammer 4K Daemonsgate I crashed and burned. I tried installing from the Steam section of Lutris (with the Steam app running in the background). Instantly the program was "installed". But looking for the program files, it said there were none. I clicked on Lutris's "remove" option on the game's poster within the Steam games section of Lutris and tried again with the same results.

When trying to run it complains about being on the wrong platform. Based on the "wrong platform" popup, I figured I needed to run from Wine instead of Steam (despite the Lutris website running a script that was supposed to install the game using Steam - which did exactly what I'd previously done without luck).

I'm not sure if that is what I need to do, and if it is, how to do it. How do you install a Steam game in Wine?

How exactly do you designate an alternative exe launcher when using proton?

I'm trying to change the AML for Xcom 2 but just plugging in the full file directory into the custom launch options field doesn't do it. Can anyone give me a quick 101 lesson on this?

So with the playerbase coming back to Star Wars Battlefront II, a couple of friends and myself wanted to jump in while the numbers stay that way and have some fun.
Because we dont want to pay the full price for the game we decided to pay for a month of EA Play on Steam to play it.

Now my problem is, that I cant get it to launch. When I try to start Battlefront II I get a window of an Installation of EA Play. If I want to install it, it results in an Error "INST-14-1603". I couldnt find anything to fix this issue, so help would be great. I already tried different Proton Versions like Experimental, 10, the CachyOS Proton package and GE Proton 10.

Hi guys,

I have a weird issue.
I switched from Fedora 42 Budgy X11 to Fedora 42 Gnome 48 Wayland like a few weeks ago.
Since then I have weird framerate drops in Hunt Showdown.

In Windows 11, I could run the game with ~144fps. Same for Fedora Budgy with X11. I anyway limited it to 120fps, because that was enough.
After switching to Fedora Gnome with Wayland, I have to limit the framerate to 72fps, because otherwise it because rather unplayable due to those fps drops.

Any ideas?

I run a AMD 6900XT.
I run the game via Steam, with Proton 10.0-1 (beta).
Kernel: Linux 6.14.6-300.fc42.x86_64
Everything else is up-to-date.

Any help is welcome.
Thx!

I decided to play for Minsk as usual, started the game, ~20 game years passed without problems, then the game started lagging and stopped starting with the same crash reason : “StartWine has been terminated by the Linux kernel because the system is low on memory. Consider closing unused applications or browser tabs.”

As I later found out myself, if I remove the save file the game starts, so I assume that it is with the save error, please help. Save file -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ILIf_Iss11DQlGGd7mzZFyz5weIBjJ2O/view?usp=drive_link

Ok so I installed ReShade for Hogwarts Legacy using Proton Tricks and everything seemed to work just fine, but the game crashes while compiling the ReShade packs.

Then I tried adding this to the game startup settings:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" %command%

But the game then immediately crashed upon startup (never saw any UI)

Hi everyone,

I'm having a very specific issue with The Lord of the Rings Online on Linux (Arch btw) using the Czech keyboard layout.

I'm playing through Steam because I wasn't able to get in working via Lutris.

When I try to bind keys in-game (e.g. "ě", "š", "č", which on US layout are "1", "2", "3" etc.), the game registers them as their Unicode names like ecaron, scaron, etc., instead of the expected US-style keycodes ). As a result the keybinds don’t persist after restarting the game and keybinds reset every time, which is extremely frustrating.

I’ve tried couple things like

• Switching to US keyboard layout via setxkbmap us, localectl, and other methods.
• Launching the game through Steam with XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=us %command%.
• Using key remapping tools like keyd to simulate US layout for number keys.
• Editing the lotro.keymap file manually and setting keybinds like DIK_1, DIK_2 to DIK_ecaron DIK_scaronetc.
• Marking lotro.keymap as read-only (with chmod 444) to prevent the game from overwriting it.

None of these methods have worked – the game always seems to detect and use the Czech layout directly, and resets the keybinds on launch.

My only last hope is that someone more skilled then me who knows more about Linux magic knows how to make the game recognize number keys (1–6, Shift+1–6, etc.) correctly regardless of the Czech layout, or to force it to use the US layout just for keybinding purposes.

Hey so I just got back into Helldivers 2 and when I am playing the game the cursor can randomly go to my second screen. The only way I can get it to grab is by pressing ESC and clicking and then it's fine for a while.

I am using the --force-grab-cursor arg in steam. Tried all the different window modes and still have the problem.

Is there something that I am missing? Anything I could try would be much appreciated 👍

So recently I got a 9950X3D for gaming and various productivity tasks on Win10 and I figured it’d be a good time to try out gaming on Linux as well since I’ve heard performance can be better on Linux . It’d been working perfectly on my windows install I’d been using, so I figured I’d try Linux mint too. I set up a dual boot with Win10 on one nvme ssd, and the latest Mint Cinnamon on another nvme ssd.

With this fresh install of Mint I updated my graphics drivers and all other packages to the latest, set up steam to use proton, and decided to use Helldivers 2 as my benchmark since it starts up quick and even running the hub area can be demanding. The graphics settings are the same in both, but I noticed I was getting 15-20 fps fewer in Mint than Win10.

I’m assuming the issue is Mint isn’t allocating the X3D cores properly since it can’t use the windows game mode hack. So I tried Feral gamemode to force park the non 3d cache ccx like on windows, but that didn’t make any difference in game. I also updated the kernel to the latest for Mint and that didn’t make any difference either. I’m new to gaming on Linux. Do X3Ds not work well on Linux? Or is there something I have to configure? Or could it be something else?

I just installed Manjaro on the weekend (coming from Pop_OS!, but switched due to poor performance). Whenever I try to open a game it gives me these error messages:

Hey everyone,

we’re a small indie team and we just released the trailer for Visions of Evil, our upcoming asymmetric horror game where one player becomes a monster and the others try to survive by completing rituals, keeping the lights on, and unlocking weapons to fight back.

The best part: we’ve built native support for Linux and SteamOS, and the game runs smoothly on desktop Linux and the Steam Deck so far.

We’d love to hear what you think — and if there’s anything you’d want to see from a linux perspective, we’re listening.

More information can be found on the steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1550130/Visions_of_Evil/

Its been a few weeks since I switched from windows to Ubuntu and here is the problem I have a gaming controller Evofox one the one that doesn't come with a dongle and relies on bluetooth for connection and working but is apparently compatible for Android, Mac and Windows. So here are the problems I am facing

1. If I use the controller with an android or any other device and later I wanna connect it to the Ubuntu laptop I gotta forget the whole connection and re-pair the controller to the system and then a properly working connection is established otherwise if the connection is made without this method, my laptop only shows that a connection established but the actions on the controller don't get responded on the system

2. Once I manage to connect the device to the laptop properly the cursor seems to teleport while trying to move along with random clicks throughout the path it was supposed to move on

How do I fix these? I know there is nothing wrong with the controller as the Android and windows connection work as usual. Please help
