The download speed from GOG on my Steam Deck is throttled at 0.5MB/s.

I have tried both Heroic Launcher and Lutris, and I have tried both installing directly and using the offline installers—there’s no difference. Using a VPN doesn‘t lift the throttle, either.

My Steam downloads are at full speed of ~90 MB/s. Epic on Heroic Launcher is ~10-20 MB/s but at this point I’m not complaining. GOG however is borderline unresponsive. All I can do is download the game to my Windows PC and import it into Heroic. It syncs my saves because the save files are so small, but for updating and repairing etc, between the download speed and the many bugs I encounter with the Heroic client, it’s almost unusable.

I don’t know who caused the throttle but I’m almost certain it’s GOG. 0.5 MB/s download speed for 50-100 GB modern games? Man.

Hello,

I am a Genshin player on CachyOS via PortProton. I have been using it for a few months and had no issues until today when I encountered error 10310-4001 while logging into Genshin. I tried reinstalling it and switching to Heroic Launcher, but now I get a new error, 10010-4001, when logging in. I tried many different versions of Wine, but it still didn't work.

I can't install Lutris (both the Pacman and Flathub versions) because it's missing many dependency packages, preventing me from successfully creating a Prefix.

What should I do now?

Here's my system specs (hopefully this helps)

System / Environment OS: CachyOS (Arch-based), x86_64 Kernel: Linux 6.18.2-2-cachyos Desktop: GNOME 49.2 (Wayland, Mutter) CPU: Intel Core i5-11400H (11th Gen, 6C/12T) GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile (Discrete) + Intel UHD Graphics RAM: 8 GB Storage: Btrfs Laptop: Acer Nitro AN515-57 NVIDIA-SMI 590.48.01 Driver Version: 590.48.01 CUDA Version: 13.1 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile Bus-Id: 00000000:01:00.0 Memory: 4096 MiB Persistence Mode: Off Compute Mode: Default MIG: N/A Temperature: 43 C Power Usage: 15W / 75W Performance State: P0 GPU Utilization: 0% Active processes: - gnome-shell (Wayland) using 1 MiB VRAM

Useful Information that makes it easier:

* Launch options that I have used: https://pastebin.com/68JkHs95 .

* System Specifications(OS, CPU, GPU etc): https://pastebin.com/uG9S2n75 .

Hello!!

So I have really looked into everywhere and have tried everything and I keep getting random black screens and I'm just sad to be honest. The game in the beginning was working just fine when I specified what GPU to use, but after some re-launches I got a black screen when launching and I could only hear audio and the menu being interacted with my mouse.

Each time I got this problem I found a pair of new launch options (the ones in the first pastebin) and it made the game work for some time but in the end, random black screens when launching.

But now, I don't think the problem is in the launch options but something else?

Also, I'm running steam via flatpak if that's of any help.

I have also tried multiple times verifying the integrity of files, deleting the compatdata dir, specifying env vars in flatseal with command launch options but same thing happens. Myriad of different proton versions/GE as well which do not help.

Also if it's of any help here is a vulkaninfo output as well which gives a useful? error in the beginning? But I am not sure https://pastebin.com/HEN26L0s .

Anyways if you took the time to read all of this I'm really grateful since I honestly have no idea how I can fix this :/ .

EDIT: Now it's working with `DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU" %command%`. This is crazy.

I'm trying to check out the Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown free weekend. I saw that they fixed the Linux anti-cheat issue from the beta so I have hoping to play some of it.

However I can't seem to get my Xbox 360 USB wired controller working. It seems like it's not detected at all, no matter the settings. What I've tried:

• With and without gamescope
• Steam overlay enabled and disabled
• Disabled any sort of extra Linux gaming stuff, like mangohud, gamemode, vkbasalt.
• Steam Input enabled and disabled
• With Steam Input enabled, tried the keyboard and mouse template

I can verify that my controller works with other games, and is detected by Steam. In the game properties in Steam, under controller I can see that my Xbox controller has a blue circle next to it, hopefully indicating that it's detected.

I saw on Steam communities a thread of some other people having similar issues on Linux.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I could try? Are there maybe any environment variables for Proton or anything through Protontricks that I could try?

My system:

• endeavourOS
• KDE Plasma 6 Wayland
• Steam native
• Xbox 360 USB wired
• RX 9070 XT

Hello! My problem is simple: I think I have quite a powerful laptop (i7-13700H, 16GB LPDDR5, NVIDIA 4050 6GB), yet it is overheating. I am mainly playing Trackmania, which is not a demanding game, through the latest Wine and Lutris, on Pop!_OS 22.04. Nothing is sandboxed so I'm able to use (or to at least select) my dedicated GPU in game (and it's definitely selected as the performance changes drastically). I enabled virtualization and "performance mode" in my BIOS. Having low quality doesn't really do much, same overheating occurs.

I know I have an H processor which stands for low consumption or whatever, but from what I can tell it can run up to 5GHz (and I've tried enabling performance mode in Pop!_OS and the BIOS to hopefully do this).

I can play for about 30 mins without burning my fingers and having the game slow down. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

hi , i recently had a problem with Need For Speed Underground 2 that made me unable to go to explore mode which i (partially fixed) by setting the CPU affinity to 0 , it works better but still in some parts of the game i have to switch runners to go to certain shops , is there a fix for this and is there a way that i can run the program from Bottles by default at CPU affinity 0 ? i use wine-ge-proton-26 but sometimes i have to switch to wine-ge-proton-27 and some OTHER times i have to switch to the default Soda runner

I've been struggling to get the Hytale Flatpak to run.
I'm running NixOS 26.05 with Flatpak 1.16.1, Linux kernel 6.18.4 on AMD hardware.
When I start the Hytale Launcher, a window pops up for a split second and closes again as the process dies from a SIGKILL signal.

I'm running out of ideas to try. I've opened a support ticket, but the team seems to be very busy. Did anyone else have this issue and found a way to fix it?

Launcher log: https://pastes.dev/fcEhxq97K0

Edit: I found the reason, it doesn't like that my login shell was fish.

Hi.

I'm a fan of physical media and since I don't run windows I've not been able to play a lot of games until well now.

I'm pondering buying a used copy of TES IV: Oblivion (not the remaster) and installing, should I be wary of this approach?

Will steam allow me to register the cd key and download it from there or do I run the risk of "not going to happen, this key has already been spent"?

I know that one can by cd keys from various sites but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

This issue has been happening since i started playing cs on linux, the audio randomly stops working and it does not pickup my microphone either.
Everytime it happens, I have to go into settings and cycle the audio outputs back and forth (like switch it from default to speaker and back to default) and after a few cycles, it starts working again.
Has anyone else faced this issue?

im on Linux 6.18.5-2-cachyos, using KDE plasma wayland.

About two months ago, I switched from Windows 11 to Linux. On Windows, none of the issues I’m about to describe ever happened.

I started with Zorin OS, and even though I was still learning Linux and making small mistakes, everything worked fine overall. Whenever I had minor issues, I could fix them easily.

Then I started having a serious problem that I haven’t been able to solve.

My computer’s performance randomly drops for no clear reason, and the only way to fix it is by rebooting or shutting down the system. I tried updating all drivers, even updated the kernel (probably not the smartest idea), switched from Wayland to Xorg, and nothing fixed it.

I then completely formatted the SSD, reinstalled Zorin OS, deleted all game folders to avoid any leftover incompatibilities, and tested again on a clean system. The problem continued exactly the same.

Thinking it might be a Zorin-specific issue, I switched to Fedora, which is what I’m using now — and the problem still happens.

Here’s a concrete example from yesterday:

I booted the system and only had Firefox, Discord, Steam, and qBittorrent open. I launched Marvel Rivals on low settings and was getting around 100–110 FPS in Practice mode. I played for over 20 minutes with no performance issues (aside from the game’s own poor optimization). I closed the game, then opened LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, which also ran perfectly fine for about 20 minutes. After closing LEGO, I reopened Marvel Rivals, and the performance was suddenly terrible — stuck at around 30 FPS, with the same settings, same PC, same everything.

After rebooting, I opened the exact same programs and the game ran normally again.

System specs:

• OS: Fedora Linux 43 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition)
• KERNEL: 6.18.5-200.fc43.x86_64
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT (radeonsi, navi23, LLVM 21.1.5, DRM 3.64, 6.18.5-200.fc43.x86_64)
• GPU DRIVER: 4.6 Mesa 25.2.7
• RAM: 32 GB

I'm out of ideas and hope. I can't go back to Windows because Linux still has some good points, but it's very inconvenient and annoying to have to restart the whole computer just because it decided to stop working properly. Can anyone help me?

Hello I have been trying to overcome this problems for weeks now and it’s very tiresome.

Every time I have tried to launch an exe game it initially works but then when I try to reopen the game after shutting down my stead deck, it’s says game unavailable.

I have installed the game through steam, lutris and heroic launcher so I think it has something to do with flat packs.

I recently swapped my SD card. Before I had no problem playing exe games on my old SD card but now I think there is a problem with the new SD card I’ve put in. This is weird because on my RP5 it was working properly. I’ve re formatted the SD card and the same problem still occurs.

I’m at my wits end on what to do. Can someone tell me how to make sure it’s my SD card? If it is a flatpack problem please explain like I’m 5 because I find flat seal and flat packs hard to understand.

I would be grateful for any responses thank you!

So I've recently gotten myself a used OLED TV in the form of the LG OLED65B87 and while I understand that for full 4K120 support I would need HDMI 2.1 which this TV clearly doesn't have but Wikipedia states that 4K120 should still be available to me using YUV 4:2:0 chroma subsampling

I'm using an Nvidia GPU which I know causes all kinds of problems on Linux

But despite going as far as checking kscreen-doctor and edid-decode I cannot seem to find a way on how to get myself to 4K120 on this display. I can understand that there are cases where this just isn't possible at all but before I give up I wanted to ask if perhaps there is something I missed

I'm using Fedora 42 with KDE (though I actually had GNOME pre-installed but it proved to be a headache with NVIDIA more than KDE appears to be). I have an RTX 3060 which is supposed to support HDMI 2.1 and I am using an Ultra High Speed rated HDMI cable so really the only bottleneck is the TV.

I did commit the sin of testing it on Windows as well and it may be notable that the NVIDIA App's PC resolution section never went beyond 1280x720, meaning I had to choose 1080p120 from the non-PC section. I don't know what that means but I thought it may be notable

For some reason, on Fedora Linux this notification keeps popping up and idk what to do about it, I know snap is a repository but that’s about it. If there isn’t enough information let me know, since idk why it’s happening. Thx
