Is there any way to make games run from a ntfs drive,i am open to reformatting the drive to something else as long as windows can also read and work with it.

Ive tried running them as is,but nothing opens,be it with dxvk or proton.

Ideally without using 3rd party drivers to make windows read linux formatted drives,ive played with those in the past and they are hit or miss.

Is there any drive format that works for linux gaming and can also be read by windows,if not any other fix to make linux play nice with ntfs drives?

Ive tried in garuda and ubuntu 23 and everything refuses to open.

Normally steam crashes due to "steamwebhelper is not responding" i need to keep restarting it and its pretty much a dice roll if it will work or not, is there a way i can make steam launch more consistently? Linux mint 21.2, Intel 7500U, Nvidia geforce 940mx, 8gb ram

I'm testing how my setup works on linux, everythink is working but im still strugling how i'm able to contol my fan setup on a linux distro. I'm using 9x Corsair QL fans powered by 2x Comander Core XT Fan/Hub. Liquidctl can see my 2x Comander Core XT and my all pluged in fans but my Commander Core XT is not supported sadly. CoolerControl can see my 2 Commander and i can set all my fan speed, but as soon as i do "sudo systemctl enable --now coolercontrold" in the terminal to start the program my fans flashing strange as long as i keep it enable. If i go in the settings to Deamon and Restart Deamon my fans stop flashing and as soon as it restarted it starts again to flash. Does anyone know a workaround or know some other program to control my fan setup on linux. The Youtube link shows how my fans flashing if CoolerControl is running.https://youtube.com/shorts/ehRHcnPJUjQ?feature=share

For some reason, there's a bug in Steam that makes its window be always on top and I can't move it.

Has anyone experienced this? I'm on xorg, if that helps

I purchased this because it is currently the fastest controller on the market besides an overclocked Dualsense. I heard reports that this controller would require extra work to get it to work on Linux, but it worked out the box for me on my up to date Arch. Firmware version 1.4.3. Just wanted to share in case another linux users wants to get this and sees those other posts. Here is me plugging it in for the first time and testing the buttons/sticks.

One day I played CS2 perfectly fine without any problems, and the next day I got this pop-up "Valve Anti-Cheat Some of your game files have been detected to have no signatures or invalid signatures. You will not be allowed to join VAC secure servers. Please verify your launch options, check correctness of your game installation, restart the game and try again."

I tried most solutions I could find on the interent, reddit, github...

My current system is: 6.8.5-201.fsync.fc39.x86_64 Steam was previously directly installed from "Discover", everything worked fine, but I just removed it and installed it from "flatpak" now

Any solutions?

Edit: Can't get error image pasted, so I'll just write it out

Hello. I'm trying to launch FNAF Security Breach using Heroic Games Launcher. The Linux version is Debian 12. I got all the vulkan drivers and everything else required installed, but I keep getting the error above while launching.

A few extra information that might be helpful is that the game is installed on a portable SSD (SandDisk Extreme). The game runs perfectly well if run on a Windows laptop.

Theories include permission errors. After last folder, it seems to be trying to start " ".

I am not that great at Linux! Any and all help is appreciated! 😃

I heard that it was more complicated to run GOG games (even with the offline installer). Is that true?

So just a precaution I wanted to inform people of that's currently unsupported if you're using the nouveau open-source kernel driver, the one that usually comes pre-installed. If you enable the GSP firmware with the nouveau.config=NvGspRm=1 kernel parameter, you will get improved performance, however this breaks Display Stream Compression, which meaning that if for example you have a DisplayPort 1.4 cable running to a 1440p 240Hz monitor, you won't be able to output 240Hz, only 144Hz. Just thought I should inform anyone who might not know that that's an issue.

Edit: this was reported about a month ago on the nouveau drm gitlab page, but nothing has been done about it so far

I'm referring to the protondb ratings that say "gold" level games take a few tweaks.

As a lifelong Windows user what tweaks would this usually be? Is there a video or resource that would point my troubleshooting in the right direction if I do need to tweak something?

I just played a Gold rated game and everything worked right out of the box, 0 problems. Running the latest Mint. AMD CPU Nvidia GPU

Hi everyone,

Today I'm here to announce the return of the Debian Discord Server!

You can find us at https://discord.gg/debian

Now you may be wondering "Wasn't there already a Debian Discord Server? Why are you posting this again?" Well the previous server was sadly deleted as the previous owner was going through personal issues. We have now revived the server under new management so that people can still come together under this platform to discuss all things Debian and Linux! This includes gaming for Debian Linux!

As before, we strive to build a healthy community to discuss Debian and Linux. We've chosen this platform as it's accessible to those who are very new to the world of FOSS and Linux. This gives us a better reach to help foster new users so that they can learn and grow. We thank everyone who is interested in growing the community and appreciate any constructive feedback.

Thank you, from all of us at the Debian Discord Staff!

I am gaming on the SteamDeck and trying to understand how Protonhax (that can be used to get CE to run alongside a game) differs from normal Proton.

I've been trying for almost a year on and off to get Elden ring to work. I have Kubuntu 22.04, steam from the .deb and an AMD GPU.

I tried everything I could think of before figuring out that the problem was that Elden Ring wants a 32-bit version of Mesa. The one in my version of Kubuntu was too old and I was unable to cross-compile a 32-bit version. The 64-bit version I compiled allowed me to play everything else without problems.

Turns out flatpak Steam uses a flatpak Mesa which has a fairly current 32-bit version. It just works. Just had to make sure to unset env variables such as VK_ICD_FILENAMES.

Figured that I should post this since other people seemed to also have problems running it.

So I've got Helldivers 2 and running it without the external monitor connected with PRIME offload actually runs the game on my Nvidia RTX 3050 in laptop meanwhile while connecting the external display game is not able to run with PRIME offload, it always runs on AMD iGPU. Any help? My distro is Fedora 39 with GNOME On Wayland. Latest Nvidia closed-source drivers

Now that immersed supports Wayland I've been meaning to swap to Linux again, but I'm split between the DEs listed in the title. For reference I use immerse quite a bit. But there's an issue in KDE that makes using it with immersed troublesome, the virtual display feature is hard-coded to 1080p, even with the dbus script in their discord, and last I remember the virtual displays aren't hardware accelerated when I tried it with weylus on Garuda Linux. So I'm tempted to go to Gnome. Any other downsides, or maybe advantages, between the two?

Launcher says that game is not installed.

after i added "HKLM,SOFTWARE\Wow6432node\Bethesda Softworks\FalloutNV,"Installed Path",,"/home/cvrsed/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Fallout New Vegas enplczru"" to wine.inf. "install" button changed to "play" but it shows error "unable to locate the INI file. please reinstall fallout".

also tried to add "[Software\\Wow6432Node\\Bethesda Softworks\\FalloutNV] 1627669000

"Installed Path"="/home/cvrsed/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Fallout New Vegas enplczru"" into /home/cvrsed/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/1887720/pfx/system.reg nut it didnt affected anything

checking files in steam shows that 1 file is corrupted and will be reinstalled

im sure that issue is in path somewhere.

im using linux mint 21.7, official Fallout: New Vegas PCR on steam, Proton 7.0, and nvdida videocard.

will be grateful for help.

Hi all. After running windows for a bit on my new PC build for gaming tests, I decided to return to Arch. Before building my new PC, I daily drove Arch for about 6 months with Plasma under Wayland for gaming, and overall had slightly better performance in games than I did with Windows 11. This has not been the case for my new computer, despite being an all-AMD build like my last system. When entering games, I'm noticing worse overall framerates, and really bad choppiness overall that seems to fluctuate (noticeable mostly in mouse cursor movements.) Out of curiosity, I booted up plasma with X11, and it doesn't seem to be an issue at all there. I may just end up sticking to X11 to resolve this issue for now, but I'm wondering if there's something I'm completely overlooking here?

Hardware:

cpu: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

gpu: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT

ram: 32GB DDR5 5600MHz

mb: ASRock B650M

All software is up to date, including mesa, vulkan-radeon, and the 32 bit versions of each.

Hello!!,

I'm new to linux (I have no idea), but I would like to install it on my laptop and I want to have a version that is compatible for both gaming and programming, I usually play a little LoL, some steam stuff like Baldurs gate 3, Darkest Dungeon, FM23, etc ... and then I'm learning on my own to program.

So I would like to have a version that has some compatibility ocn games I can understand that some fail me and above all to program do not have any problem.

Thank you all very much for reading me and thanks in advance.
