Hey everybody, I hope someone can help me with this issue.

I want to play Neverness to Everness on my CachyOS. Had a hard time to even get it to install, but got it to work last night without problems.
I was using faugus with Proton-CachyOS latest and the launcher started, install worked fine, game started too. I played for like five hours, then went to bed.
This morning when I wanted to start the game again, it told me I needed to install the launcher from scratch (?) and also the game. I wasn't able to point it to the files it had already installed. But okay, fine sure, installed it from scratch thinking I'd just do that everytime I wanted to play, no biggy.
Instead of the game starting I get an error message "Error (0x7ab54). Please close programs causing issue and restart." Then the game crashes/closes again.

My current settings for faugus are in the screenshot. Is there anything I can change or a completely different way I have to go to make the game playable? Ideally without having to reinstall it every time I want to play it?

I appreciate any help. Please be really specific on what I have to do though, I'm a little scared to break anything long-term lol

Not sure when that happened but somehow as soon as a game is configured to run with Proton Experimental it will fail to launch, it does not not even create as log if the protonLog flag is set in the launch options.

Funny thing is that all other Proton version do work just fine (i.e. GE-Proton or the regular Steam Proton 10, etc. ) so my feeling is that ther is a corrupted file or config flag somewhere.

The problem is that even after uninstalling Proton Exerimental, checking that the files and folders are gone on the disk, closing/reopening Steam, installing Experimental again, the problem still persists.

Anyone had that once with a Proton version and found a fix for that?

• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
• Kernel 6.14
• Steam current version (also tried Beta)

EDIT: SOLUTION

Thanks u/lynxros for the hint. You removed your post somehow but it was the right tip:

If you have some of the most recent GE-Proton versions configured for your game then this might alter the prefix in a way that makes it incompatible with Proton Experimental. For example I had GE-Proton10-34 configured for a game so I had to remove/delete the prefix folder from compdata to let the directory be rebuilt with Experimental set as the Proton Version.

I would like to ask for advice since wednesday ubuntu came with an update which mostly broke my nvidia drivers. I was using the nvidia-driver-open-570, which handled everything fine (WoW, steam games, etc), but now it only allows me to install versions greater or equal to 580 (which sucks).

I've already tried to force install the 570, but it does say that the 570 version requires the 580 (?). Now, i'm using the 595 version, which works mostly fine but wow runs at 2 fps (using Pronton-GE and faugus launcher).

I'm currently using Ubuntu 24.04 and my rig is:
Ryzen 7 5600G
RTX 5070
32Gb RAM 3200Mhz

I've been making a few optimizations to my laptop with Bazzite. When I started, I had in mind something like “Void” Linux, which has a pretty fast and efficient boot time. Of course, knowing that Bazzite uses an immutable system, I tried to adapt this idea as much as possible. I achieved the results you see in the image, and on top of that, my laptop is running at a surprising 20 degrees Celsius with several applications open at once. This is definitely something anyone using medium or heavy distributions should do, It significantly improves the user experience and, on laptops, enhances all aspects of performance. How often do you do what I just did?

Hey, I have a problem with Heroic - I have Linux Mint installed on my PC and I play Evil West on it (I run it through Heroic) - and once a month on the weekends I go to my parents' and they have a laptop with Win11. I bought the game on GOG, and on Win11 I run it through GOG, etc. The game works great on both Linux and Win11, but the cloud sync option doesn't work - I don't know what I'm doing wrong. On Linux, I'm almost to the end of the game, on Win11 I launch the game and I don't have any progress saved ;( On Heroic, I checked something like that and it didn't help, although I also play Grim Dawn and everything works there, my progress on Linux is saved without any problems after I launch Win11 to play the game, etc. Thanks in advance for all your replies.

Hello, Recently I downloaded and installed an NFS:PS (The Magipack repack, that has fixes) and have been encountering big problems.

First after i installed the game and tried to launch the game, it didn't run at all (a Wine log popup appeared, but i'm not tech savvy so didn't understand sh!t), which i fixed by removing the GenericFix and downloading the Pepega mod exe that is Wine-friendly and the game launched.

Now I'm having a bigger problem, after i launch the game everything goes normally until the Career intro movie ends and then on the (Loading...) screen it freezes. No sound, no Wine log popup appears, and i can't close it using ALT+F4 until the KDE (Not Responding) popup appears and i terminate the process from there.

I'm using Wine 11 since I tried launching the game from HGL using Wine-GE and it wouldn't show UI elements on start screen and it shows the main menu as a black screen.

That is the system specifications, if it will help:

• Operating System: Kubuntu 25.10
• KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.6
• KDE Frameworks Version: 6.20.0
• Qt Version: 6.9.2
• Kernel Version: 6.17.0-22-generic (64-bit)
• Graphics Platform: Wayland
• Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz
• Memory: 16 GB of RAM (15.5 GB usable)
• Graphics Processor: Intel® HD Graphics 530

iI'm on Zorin OS 18,,wayland(also tried x11), on a Lenovo ThinkPad E460 — i5 6th gen, Intel HD Graphics 520 (no dedicated GPU), 12GB RAM. Running Among Us through Steam with Proton.

The game launches fine, shows the Innersloth logo, and then just cuts to a black screen

Here's what I've already tried:

—Proton experimental , Proton 9.0 , Proton GE
— Tried this launch option combo: PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 %command% --screen-fullscreen 0
— PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 on its own
— --screen-fullscreen 0 on its own

And it still does not work(img above for reference)Please help .

I'm not exactly sure if I can call this a utility... but I guess I can, since you'll have to download the games yourself.

Anyway, here’s my launcher for

RSDKv3

RSDKv4

RSDKv5

Sonic 3 Air

Sonic 2 Absolute (Requires Wine)

Sonic 1 Forever (Requires Wine)

Just select the game’s location, choose data.rsdk, and play!

It also supports downloading mods from GameBanana and enabling or disabling them.

I was averaging 15 fps in the benchmark with DX12, and 11 with Vulkan I tried Proton Experimental and the latest 10.X version, no information I can find online is conclusive whatsoever. I'm running an almost up-to-date cachyos kernel is 7.0.1-1-cachyos The absurdly low framerate would suggest its not even trying to use my gpu at all, which is a little concerning. This is, as is seemingly so common for everyone else who's having problems with this game, exclusive to this game.

Hi. I just wanted to ask if someone has similar issues and maybe has found a solution. I'm on Ubuntu 24.04, rtx 2080 super, latest 595 drivers.

So the game starts fine using the latest DW proton (won't start on ge or valve's showing an error to close apps that mess with the game or something) but the performance is just abysmal. The game itself set graphic settings to medium and I was getting about roughly 35 fps, changin them to very low gave maybe 10 fps more. Turning the dlss off shows an apparent boost to ~60 but it definitely feels even worse than those 45 with it on on very low.

It feels a bit absurd given that wuwa and endfield run at 100+ and close to 100 respectively with a mix of low, medium and high settings and nte is nowhere near close the visual quality of mentioned games (which is honestly disappointing, it looks like genshin which is 6 years old).

So I'm wondering if there are any tweaks one can do to make this game run better or is it bad optimization or just the fact it plainly runs bad on Linux?

This is like this for multiplayer in all Unreal Engine games. Squad, Arma Reforger, and Hell Let Loose. Ping is non existent.

Installed Linux Mint a month ago and right out the box this problem started. This was not a problem on windows and I have messed with no location settings. On Steam my location is set to my home city in Texas and there are no settings in these games for server locations. Hell, Arma Reforger has my ass in Mexican servers for some reason. Ive tried filters for the servers but none even pop up in the United Fuckin States. Ive tried hours worth of googling and trying its solutions to no avail. Even tried a VPN but that didn't work either.

How does one fix this?

I use the Nvidia app to swap the DLSS models to the newest ones and also for driver level settings.

Nvidia Broadcast uses the GPU for microphone noise cancelling. I have a Ryzen AI 5 340 CPU with an NPU so something that could use the NPU for noise cancelling is also good.

Testing games takes time, so please feel free to test your own games.

I spent a while on this issue because there are no similar posts anywhere, so Im posting this here in hopes that people may come across this post instead of trying to mess around with power profiles. It came out to be a vram problem(the card is 4gb and 4x pcie after all). It seems that sometimes driver(I guess) considers vram full at around 3.5gb or so and puts stuff into ram(I guess) and never tries to put stuff into vram again even when it gets spare space. So how I "solved" the problem is recalled the times when I played Just Cause 2 on 1 gbs of ram when the game requires 512mb free to launch - programs to fill your ram and then empty it to flush all the not very necessary stuff into swap. In our case this way we can flush stuff into ram and have almost completely empty vram to launch the game with. I found no such programs, so had to write one myself. Im too lazy to setup a release script and posting binaries manually is unsecure cringe, so compile it yourself.

TLDR: If you have power usage and fps drops on a low vram&pcie lanes card, try running the mentioned program before running the game

I been playing Star Citizen on Linux, and it seems to have a lot more overhead on Linux as compared to windows i know it is using a older Game engine. I used LUG to install it, did any one know if there was a fix to help it run with less jitter/laggy. also does any know if NTsync helps?

Edit Ryzen 5 240, 96GBs Ram, Nvidia 5050 8GB, Fedora 44, KDE 6.6.4, Nvidia 595.71.05.

Yo atm i play on a rlly low end pc (1115g4 3.0ghz 8gb ram), and i was wondering if i should install linux since i dont get too good fps. I mostly play like 5 games: silksong, ultrakill, peak, minecraft, repo, and im wondering if it will run them or if its even worth installing it in the first place, and if so which distro? (btw i dont know much about linux)
