Overwatch 2 - Occasional freeze for several seconds?
Sometimes (let's say, once every hour), the game freezes for 5 seconds~ or so.
On my screen everything is freezed, on the death replay (assuming I die during these freezes), I can see that the game client continues sending the command that was being sent during the freeze (such as walking forward etc).
I play OW for a long time on Linux, I had never faced this. Anyone else? Any tips?

- 64gb ram
- manjaro
- GE-Proton10-10 (I don't remember if this also happens on Proton 9/10/Experimental)

blue prince works on steamdeck but not Linux mint PC
not sure if this is the best place to ask but i just switched to Linux mint and everything is going fine so far and most of my steam games play fine... but i went to play blue prince and i tried every proton compatibility layer available and no matter which i use the game will not launch. i have tried reinstalling it and verify installed files integrity but nothing has worked yet, any advice will be welcomed. it plays fine on my steamdeck so i know its not a Linux problem necessarily.

I made a free soundboard app for Linux with audio trimming
Not registering three way buttons?
Any help appreciated! It seems that it registered the two three way switches incorrectly. One of the positions for the second is for example only possible with the correct position of the first switch?

Performance regression under Gnome compared to KDE. Causes?
Hello!
I've recently wanted to try Gnome once again because, honestly, I prefer the defaults all around but I'm having a huge blocker right now due performance regressions under Gnome.
I'll use Fallout 76 as a reference point, since its a DX11 game and it should not present the performance penalty of DX12 with Nvidia.
9800X3D
4K Display with HDR @ 120fps and VRR
RTX5800
Overall, under KDE, I report a pretty smooth experience (having disabled the vars on the game to allow me achieve unlocked framerate), and mostly, with the correct settings I have 110-120 fps locked most of the time and very stable frametimes.
Once I changed to Gnome session, under the exact same conditions, area, and settings, I have a lot more stuttering, the frames drop from 110-120 to 80-90, and I see the frametime showing a behavior most of the time, that feels like some tripple buffering or some other sort of attempting to vsync.
PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1
ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1
Gnome right now has VRR, and I'm always below the max framerate of my monitor, this should not happen at all.
Has the community ever found performance differences under Gnome compared to KDE? Did I find an edge case bug somewhere?
Look at that frametime go! It should be flat like it was on KDE

What should i use?
Need help fingering out why my pc performance went down after I switched to linux Zorin os.
I switched over to linux to improve my pc's performance but now I can't play games as well as I used to. I am new to linux. I downloaded Wine so I could continue to play Windows games but it looks like my performance went down

Arc Raiders is looks grainy on Linux but on Windows is normal
I've tried several versions of Proton, display settings, and the problem persists. I'm using the exact same game settings on Windows and Bazzite.
Appears to be type Anti-aliasing I thought it was a problem, but I've already tried cinematic and low settings and it's still the same.
I'm not that much of a "noob" when it comes to Linux. I know what I'm doing most of the time, but I can't find anything about the problem online.
If anyone can help, I would appreciate it.
I haven't tested if I have the same problem with other games.

Low system utilization
When playing some games like cs2. my cpu and gpu is at ~40% I have ran commands for my cpu and gpu to get them in performance mode but only helps a little bit. With that I have very low fps. Especially on cs2 on the first couple of rounds the fps is normal and then drops. I have checked and the system is using the correct gpu.
I run the following launch options: LD_PRELOAD="" PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 gamemoderun %command% -high -threads 16 -vulkan -novid -nojoy +fps_max 0 -refresh 144 -forcenovsync +mat_queue_mode 2

Lilium HDR tone mapping with gamescope
Hi!
I have read that people have success with these gamescope shaders: https://github.com/sharkautarch/GamescopeShaders
When I run
gamescope --hdr-enabled --reshade-effect lilium__tone_mapping.fx --reshade-technique-idx lilium__tone_mapping -- glxgearsI get errors
[gamescope] [Error] gamescope_reshade: Couldn't find texture with name: V__ReShade__BackBufferTex [gamescope] [Error] gamescope_reshade: Couldn't find texture with name: V__ReShade__DepthBufferTexFrom what I gather, depth buffer is not yet supported on Linux at all. But then, how can these shaders be used at all?
Any pointers?
Thanks!

GE-Proton or regular Proton and .net4x - help?
Is there a working procedure to get .net45 or .net48 installed on a modern Proton version like 10.x?
Recent proton versions seem to have a hardcoded barebones .net/mono setup with symlinks which prevents installation of the full MS .net releases or even the net4x options via protontricks.
I remember that older protons had some kind of hack to set the OS to win7, remove mono and then install the .net from the MS offline installer. But this does not seem to work anymore and you are left with a broken and non-bootable proton prefix.

Can't run Kenshi on HDD
I've had kenshi for a long time and been playing it on and off. Few months ago I got couple other games that I play regularly but didn't have much space on my SSD, so i move some games to my 1TB HDD since those games are more demanding and actually do require SSD to run. Kenshi being one of the games i don't play often was one of the ones that i moved.
I been feeling some nostalgia lately and wanted to hop on Kenshi. My issue is that the game won't even launch. I can understand for a game like BG3 to not run because it is stated that SSD required, but Kenshi? This game can run on a potato PC. Furthermore, I have Genshin Impact installed on the same HDD and it runs fine, loading screen time is treacherous but it actually plays.
I've used the commands from ProtonDB site and tweaks for Kenshi but game simply won't. Is HDD really not supported or there's some tweak I'm missing?
Edit: Will format the HDD to a linux friendly filesystem format. Was not aware of the impact of filesystem format. Thanks for the assistance.

Roblox Macro
I saw a post here that recommended input-remapper, but I am not able to understand how to properly use it, and it doesn't look like it was ment for this type of usage. Is there any other software that I can use for Roblox afk Macro on Linux?

Got a good deal on an obscure laptop with decent specs, only concern is how to change power modes under Linux
Hi,
Found a good deal for the following laptop, it's a Thunderobot Radiant 15 (i7 13650HX, RTX 4060). I believe it is based of some variant of Clevo which is a well known OEM. It uses an app that is called Control Center for Windows, that is used for things like changing power modes (Quiet, Entertainment, Performance).
From my experience with other gaming laptops (Like Acer and their Nitrosense), these settings can really affect performance, some of them even cap the power limits of the GPU, and i am afraid that with no Linux version i will be stuck on a mode where the hardware is limited. There is a chance that the software is just a rebrand of the Clevo Control Center, but i can't know for sure.
Any suggestions? I know some would say to get a known brand laptop instead, but the deal i found locally is hundreds of dollars cheaper than anything remotely similar.

Proton Environment Variables
Just wanted to share this since I thought it was really neat. At least in Proton GE, you can add shorthands for your ENV vars for proton to clean up your launch commands.
So instead of:
PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_DLSS_INDICATOR=1You could instead just use:
PROTON_ADD_CONFIG=wayland,hdr,dlsshud,dlssThe full list of shorthands that I know of are found here
