Hi, this is my first time trying linux for gaming, but when I tried to test it on cs2, it only capped at 100, the GPU is 100% while the cpu is only 20-30%. Any recommendations what to do?

My specs:

Operating System: CachyOS Linux

KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.3

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.24.0

Qt Version: 6.10.2

Kernel Version: 6.19.7-1-cachyos (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 20 × 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-12700H

Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.3 GiB usable)

Graphics Processor 1: Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics

Graphics Processor 2: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU

Manufacturer: LENOVO

Product Name: 82RF

System Version: Legion 5 Pro 16IAH7H

Then it stays hovering around 14-16 GB throughout. This might be the reason for game crashing for some people. RTX 4080 and 9800X3D.

Honestly I really do like this game quite fun for a shooter game with abilities and the card idea for special buff is really enjoyable and makes every match a little less repetitive and I get good FPS while the game look great

First post regarding Crimson Desert, helpful discussion on distro and Proton version and its banned for no reason?

Is every mod on Reddit actually off the spectrum meter?

Hi everyone

I've bought a HP Omen Slim 16 an0009ns today and got Pop_OS running on it. I've installed CS2 just to try how well it ran compared to my previous computer but to my surprise, it performed quite bad :(

The game seems laggy on the default settings, and turning them to low only gets me a little over 60fps at 1080p even after making sure the laptop was in high performance mode, which seems quite low for a 5060 + an Intel Ultra 7. I also get some random black artifacts on the background while on the main menu

Anyone else has had this problem before? I don't know if it might be because Pop_Os might be running the game using the integrated graphics. I've tried running nvtop, but I don't understand any of the information being printed lmao

Specs: Intel Ultra 7 255h | Nvidia RTX 5060 8GB (laptop version) | 24GB DDR5 RAM @ 5600 MT/s | 1TB SSD

Here's also some screencaps from neofetch and nvtop (while running CS2 on medium settings)

Crimson Desert seems to be running well on my system. Fedora 43, Nvidia 5070ti, drivers 580.126, Intel Core i7-12700KF.

When I started a new game, it went to a window with moving squares in a tunnel. This seemed to last about 2 minutes. I thought it had locked up, but then the game started.

In the game i have a lot of artifacts in all place, i dont now fix the problem, please help

Having an issue with Crimson Desert on my arch system. In every single scene, I get these weird christmas light-like color pops everywhere.

Things I've done:

- Up to date drivers including mesa

- Different proton versions (Experimental and GE-Proton10-33)
- Gamescope on and off

- HDR on and off

- Raytracing on/off and ray regeneration on/off

- Settings maxed out and minimum

Only using launch commands to enable HDR (Tried with no launch commands as well): PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 DXVK_HDR=1 %command%

Am I missing something here?

Hi guys,

I haven't installed Linux on a gaming laptop in years (520m) days and it was a complete faff with "Optimus". Is this still the case and how does fan control work, just now I can set my laptop to quiet or full power via a app in the tray.

Thanks

Please check which version of Mesa you are running seems like 26.0.3 has specific fixes in place for issues regarding AMD GPUs and Raytracing which explains why Arch and Arch based systems are working but some other a bit slower disrtos dont.

Please correct me if my statement is wrong, also please dont try and update the package yourself and wait for the distro to get the new update as you will possibly run into issues otherwise.

Just sharing this, I am on the default Proton Hotfix choice, and with RT on I could not get passt the opening cutscene. Tried GE, experimental and 10, all failed until I flipped RT to off. Sad times but for now no RT.

If anyone knows of a fix please let me know

Hi, I have an game that comes with an installer and I want to install it with Steam on Fedora 43.

My plan was to install the game first as a non-steam game, then use the installed game's exe to play using proton. The installer launches, but I run into this issue where it tells me I have no free disk space.

I have 700GB free space, so this is probably something related to steam sandbox limitation. Can I change this?

Thanks

as far as i'm aware steam will store local save files in the respective proton prefixes and cloud saves in the cloud, but for some reason certain games create files in the home directory that either contain actual saves or just a steam_autocloud.vdf file that only contains an account id inside, why does this happen and is there a way to disable it? it's frankly kind of annoying especially because these files are placed about randomly (sometimes straight in the home dir, sometimes in .config, sometimes in .local/share).

Hi, I have an HP Victus laptop with a GTX 1650. A while ago I installed Linux, but the gaming performance compared to Windows was noticeably better. Also, because I needed certain specific Windows applications, I had to switch back to Linux. However, Windows is very slow when the battery is off. I don't remember that happening in Linux. So I'd like to know if anyone has a similar laptop and can share their gaming experience and which Linux distribution they recommend.

Here's some patches that will allow the Metro Redux Linux ports (dating back to 2014) to use the modern dynamic versions of SDL2 without crashing.

This allows for:

-Native Wayland/Pipewire

-Better gamepad support

I still have a pesky bug where in some menus the selection always snaps back to the first entry and i've yet to figure out why using newer sdl versions causes this, if you know please let me know.

I've tried many different combinations of commands for both Steam, Lutris, and Heroic, and none of them work ultimately. The most common result is Ubisoft Connect ending up as a blank page with a blue chrome logo in the taskbar, which I take it means that HDR rendering is breaking its GUI, but because of Ubisoft's moronic launcher, the games can't launch in HDR since they have to go through it.

I've tried online suggestions and troubleshooting problems with Gemini, but no solution helps. It suggested sandwitching Connect in an SDR container and doing gamescope gymnastics to have the game start through HDR, but that either wouldn't work at all (heroic), or would result in an awful presentation that still lacked HDR (lutris). Installing Ubisoft Connect through steam with commands forcing HDR is the only method that resulted in AC Origins detecting that my screen has HDR, but enabling it in-game results in a overly dark presentation that look completely off (I know how it's supposed to look like from Windows).

Has anyone actually managed this on Linux? Specifically on Catchy, but I'm guessing the process would be similar. I'm loving Linux for how well simple and older games run, but the more you ask from it in regards to advanced gaming tech and stuff, the more it becomes a nightmare.

Im trying for 2 days to use Optiscaler FSR 4 on Wukong, did all kind of things. Installed optiscaler right from the git page, tried using Goverlay, none of them worked. The spoofing is working but when I turn DLSS on the optiscaler doesnt recognize it and runs in fallback. In other games that I tried it runs just fine.
Tried with Proton EM, Proton GE, Experimental, used the override commands to load the right dll. ChatGPT helped me during this 2 days, but we didnt find the solution It says that the unreal engine works another different from the other games. Can someone help me?
