Pretty specific problem with LiS : Before the Storm

20. Januar 2026 - 18:31

So I started using linux some month ago and everything as been somewhat fine I'm a giant noob but even the most special problem have been solved by the community.

Since I mainly wished to use my linux computer for gaming, I installed steam and some emulator, for most of it everything went fine, all my games were running well natively or with proton/wine. But with LiS : Before the Storm, I juste can't wrap my head around what is y problem.

First the game didn't work at all, then I followed this guide on this subreddit, which was recommended on protondb.

Then the game worked, for 30 good minutes, then it crashed and wouldn't open again (as a native game or with proton/GE-proton).

But the strangest is : I can launch the game actually, but only after I try to open it with GE-Proton10-20 (which give me a black screen) and then re-launch it natively.

Idk why that happen, it's not a big deal but it's kind of an hassle to redownload everything every time. So if someone made this game work I would really appreciate your help

Sry for my English it's my second language

+ I'm on linux mint and everything from steam to mint is up to date.

I'm writing an alternative to Lutris

20. Januar 2026 - 18:20

The aim is to have more transparent access to wine prefixes and the surrounding tooling (winetricks, proton configuration, etc...) per game in comparison to Lutris. Same features like statistics (time played, times launched, times crashed, and so on) per game is available in this app. All configuration and state is explicit and user-controlled, with minimal hidden or implicit behavior.

Trying to install NVSE with Limo

20. Januar 2026 - 17:23

xNVSE thinks my game is Pirated, I promise you it's not. I verified files and followed the install process again;

Added the mod, made sure Bin is ticked, renamed the nvse executable to FalloutNV.exe, and deployed the Bin section.

It will either boot the game up normally, which tells me it didn't install xNVSE, or it will give me an error falsely claiming that my game is not legit, and closing.

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, and would really appreciate some help!

Running Limo on Bazzite.

Nvidia on Linux - DLSS, FSR, XeSS, who to choose when we have a Nvidia GPU

20. Januar 2026 - 16:12

Hello,

Context of the person writting: I switched my Desktop to Fedora KDE and the drivers to the Nvidia ones. after 6 months of Fedora Sway/KDE on Laptop.

I'm asking the question as I am running a 3060 12gb

The question comes from a train of thought: Nvidia is inferior to Amd on Linux for Performance.

But what about DLSS when you have a Nvidia GPU on Linux. It is also nvidia software, and has been made for Nvidia cards, but FSR and Xess Are also at our disposal, and I cannot seem to find any numbers of discussions on what is the ideal solution.

On Nvidia + Windows the solution was simply: If you have a Nvidia card, it is worth it to run DLSS and not FSR. But here I cannot seem to find the response or test made on such a complicated "Market"?

Discrete GPU Not Being Used On CachyOs

20. Januar 2026 - 15:53

New to CACHY (arch gaming in general). I have an Nvidia 4060ti and a ryzen cpu. My Nvidia card has power going to it, but the fans aren't spinning or anything and it's listed as GPU 2. I used Goverlay to check and I'm getting low performance. I have tried what the wiki says force the use of the GPU via properties, but that doesn't work either.

Any more recommendations on how to start using the discrete not integrated graphics.

Dual boot to test modding?

20. Januar 2026 - 15:07

I would love to fully move from Windows to either CachyOS or Bazzite, and I've done it several times recently (back and forth)... But I always end up back in Windows because of issues I couldn't figure out.

My final issue is modding, particularly in Witcher 3. Trying to get ProtonTricks working for the script merger, etc...

My question is, could/should I install Bazzite as a dual boot to my current Windows (Revi) install, and then eventually delete the Windows partition and merge it with my Bazzite partition so that I can regain the disk space?

Can't use Steamdeck as remote play controller for some games

20. Januar 2026 - 14:51

I'm running arch + hyprland and steam itself works great on the host. I can also use a controller connected through USB/Bluetooth without issue. The issue stems from when I try to use remote play. The steamdeck used to work as a controller without issue on Monster Hunter Wilds, but I changed a setting for the controller (swapped to Nintendo Switch layout) and now it's not working at all.

I've tried changing back to the standard layout, making sure the controller configuration in Steamdeck is reset, tried using a different layout, nothing seems to work. The game doesn't even seem to register the controller, as when it used to, the keybind hints on screen would be the gamepad and now it's just the keyboard. I also tested another game, Sea of Thieves, and it has the same issue (I didn't even change a keybind, it just never seemed to work)

I did download a random ToS Gamepad Tester and when I stream that, I can confirm the controller is recognized.

Any insight would be appreciated.
