I'm getting slower loading times than expected running Rome 2 on Linux. If someone could report the loading times they get when loading the grand campaign map it would be appreciated. Using openSUSE Tumbleweed, a 7800x3d, and 7900xt they are around 35-40 seconds for me.

Thanks!

I've had a collection of ROMs build since the early aughts, going back to the days of Nesticle and ZSNES. I've rarely had problems with my ROMs until I switched to Linux full-time and started trying to use RetroArch for everything.

With that said...I feel like over half of my collection just fails to load in RetroArch for no discernible reason. The scan option fails to find half my ROMs when scanning directories, and even those that do, many of them won't launch. What I don't understand is why some of them fail even when I'm using cores that are based off emulators that used to happily load these same ROMs when I used the core as a standalone application on Windows.

I am sure this is super awesome when you've got everything sourced from GoodSets and all the hashes match...but what about when I've just got this slowly-cobbled together collection with unofficial dumps, translation patches applied, etc.? Is it possible to make RetroArch more permissive in what it chooses to load? Else, I really might just want to abandon the thing and look for some standalone Linux emulators...or heck, even Windows emulators I know would work, under wine.

This may be such a niche thing no one here has gotten it to work yet, but I figured it would be worth a shot to ask. I recently discovered a fan community called "Donut Team" that builds mods for the PC version of "The Simpsons Hit & Run". The main game was only released on Windows, and applying mods and bug fixes requires using a custom launcher called "Lucas' Simpsons Hit & Run Mod Launcher". What drew me to this project in particular is a full mod conversion of the game to create a new Futurama game, so I hope to find a way to get it playable on my Linux install.

I'm on Linux Mint 22.3, and I'm trying to get it running using Wine. If I install DX3D9 and .NET 3.5 into my default Wine prefix using Winetricks, I can get both the Launcher and the game itself bootable. Xpadneo even works to get my Xbox One controller usable with it. However, I'm still having a major stability issue. After the game runs for a few minutes all of the rendered graphics start flickering and breaking. Eventually it just freezes and crashes altogether, sometimes necessitating killing Wine from the terminal. I'll mention this is on a 64-bit prefix, as I can't seem to get Winetricks to install dll's into the 32-bit prefix I created.

Before it's suggested, my first attempt at this was using Proton and adding it as a Non-Steam game. I was able to get the Launcher to open this way, but the game itself wouldn't launch at all with any version of Proton.

If anyone here is well-versed in using Wine, I'd appreciate anyone interested in giving this a shot to report back on how to fix it.

OS: CachyOS (fully updated)

Hardware: RTX 4060, Ryzen 9 3900, B550M Aorus Elite MB

I have downloaded this visual novel through "alternate" means but can't make it open using neither Lutris nor Bottles. I have tried several wine versions (proton hotfix, proton GE...), installing and reinstalling C++ Visual Runtime, japanese locales but the result is always the same: Nothing happens at all.

Every other game I've tried works without any problems, but this specific visual novel does not work.

The logs show the following exit status:

[umu.umu_run:667] DEBUG: Child 119776 exited with wait status: 53

Monitored process exited.

Initial process has exited (return code: 13568)

All processes have quit

Exit with return code 13568

I can't get Helldivers II to run. Looked through proton db. Most people say it just works, but I can't get it to run. I only see this black screen and this nProtect popup. Running Niri window manager.
Current launch options `MANGOHUD=0 DISABLE_MANGOAPP=1 env -u MANGOHUD PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command%`

Any one have similar issues?

This TV only has HDMI, sadly no display port. I really want to get 120Hz working. My AMD card is: Radeon RX 9060 XT
And the TV I got is a Sony XR-48A90K

I've got two adapters I've bought:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQCF62CD

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08XFSLWQF

Currently using the UGREEN.

I am using KDE wayland on NixOS. Totally fine with using xorg if necessary. Or even playing with other window managers.

I've seen a lot of posts asking if this can work or not. But not too much elaboration on what settings need to be done in order to get 120Hz work. Do I need certain things disabled in my TV settings for example? Like, idk, HDR etc. I know this is one of those weird situations where this works for some people but not others. Some even mentioned getting different results from different distributions. Would really like to hear any and everything anyone had to do to get 120Hz working at 4k with an adapter.

Not strictly important, but both adapters had terrible latency for me initially. That's why I bought a second one, the UGREEN. Like, even just moving my mouse around and draggin a window around had very noticable lag, forget even gaming. But after resetting my TV settings to default game mode (I didn't even think I had really messed with the settings much at all) that went away. Never had any latency with straight HDMI from my AMD card to my TV. Just with these adapters. That's fixed now, but wanted to mention it in case anyone else gets the same issue. Maybe this will fix it for them too. Couldn't find any mention online about latency issues.

Black Myth: Wukong — CachyOS Linux vs Windows 11 Frametime Analysis (RTX 5080 / Ryzen 7 9800X3D)

After my RDR2 Linux vs Windows post, u/GaijinFrog commented that he felt Linux had smoother gameplay in his experience. I also wanted to thank everyone who gave me feedback in my last posted. I got Nvidia 595 beta running smoothly on CachyOS so far. So I ran some benchmarks in Black Myth Wukong.

Setup:

• CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• GPU: RTX 5080
• Res: 1440p DLSS Quality No FG, Very High Graphics, Low RT
• OS (Linux): CachyOS, kernel 6.19.6-2-cachyos, Nvidia 595 beta drivers
• OS (Windows): Windows 11
• Game: Black Myth: Wukong, DX12, same scene, same graphical settings
• Linux logging: MangoHud | Windows logging: MSI Afterburner

Steam launch options used on Linux:

PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_NVIDIA_LIBS_NO_32BIT=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr mangohud %command%

Results (gameplay only):

Metric Linux Windows 11 Avg FPS 87.0 89.9 Frametime StdDev 2.23ms 17.89ms Avg Δ Frametime 0.68ms 8.43ms 1% Low FPS 61.5 59.8 99th%ile Frametime 16.26ms 116.11ms

Average FPS was essentially identical. However, Windows 11 showed dramatically more frametime variance — the delta frametime graph in particular shows repeated large spikes on Windows that are almost entirely absent on CachyOS (see video).

Interestingly the synthetic benchmark told a different story — Windows averaged 101 FPS vs 85 on Linux. This is a good reminder that synthetic benchmarks don't always reflect real gameplay feel, which is exactly what u/GaijinGrog was reporting in his experience.

Happy to answer questions about the Linux setup — running a RTX 5080 on Linux with 595 beta drivers is still pretty nascent so curious if others have had similar experiences.

Hey y'all I just purchased an Asrock AMD bc-250 mining rig to turn into a budget Linux gaming machine. I have zero experience with Linux (stupid of me ikr?) and I was wondering if y'all had any tips I should know before diving in, I'm pretty good with machines and fairly software literate so as long as I have a decent guide I can set up just about anything. Wish me luck!!

I cheaped out on the components a bit because of my low budget, here's what I've just mail ordered

BC-250 board

APEVIA VENUS500W ATX Power Supply (I think it has a built in power switch? 🤔)

Thermalright TL-C12C X3 120mm Case Fans (x3)

(Will get a wifi dongle later)

I've got 250gb ssd from the old laptop I'm upgrading from, I'll probably upgrade that in the future because come on, what even fits on 250gb now in days?

My previous rig was a modified Inspiron 7577 laptop (2016) that I kinda pieced together with scrap parts, I still have the 8gb flash drive that I used to pirate windows onto it (lol) so I'll use that for the bazzite installation I plan on using

I'm pretty great with arts and crafts, so I'll figure out a case somehow, probably make something a little silly and ridiculous (I will post updates)

Not sure if I need anything else for this rig, I'm mostly just going to be copying what's on YouTube, I'm really exited though because this is a huge upgrade for me. I've spent most of my life gaming on office computers (I got really good at upscaling super low resolutions) but I can't wait to play games above 30 fps

I like to monitor my temps while I game and Psensor has the following values.

Temp1 Chip: spd5118 Id: lmsensor spd5118-i2c-15-53 temp1

Tctl (Tctl/tdie on windows I think?)

TCCD1 (I think this one is the same as the TCCD1 sensor in hwinfo?)

Edge (for my igpu?)

Composite (SSD temp, it mentioned nvme in the description)

Temp1 Chip: spd5118 Id: lmsensor spd5118-i2c-15-51 temp1

Temp1: chip: r8169_0_a00:00 Id: lmsensor r8169_0_a00:00-mdio-0 temp1

Fan1 (I know this is for my 9070xt, says amdgpu)

Edge (equivalent to the temperature on windows that is just named after the gpu, or core, I think? Says amdgpu)

Junction (gpu hotspot equivalent from windows? Also amdgpu)

Mem (gpu memory temp? Also amdgpu.)

CPU usage (self explanatory)

Free memory (percent of RAM free)

This is a decent amount of data but the labels aren’t great and I struggle to understand what Psensor is telling me they are under the sensor info screen for the “temp1” ones. My distro is Bazzite, specs are 9800X3D/9070XT/32GB DDR5 on an Asus motherboard.

Windows user that recently transferred with the assistance of a Linux nerd friend, she mentioned how OBS studio would be the same as it was on Windows but it is missing quite a few things, especially the game capture option, last night I spent 3 hours from 3AM to 6AM trying to figure out how to make it identical but nothing worked, I managed to install some sort of game capture plugin (albeit it does not detect any windows for some reason) but that was my best progress.

I am using CachyOS as she had trouble helping me at all with non-arch distros.

I am still very new to linux lingo (like how I have no idea what a repo is) and am intellectually disadvantaged.

Is there any online tutorial out there that tells me a step-by-step guide to make OBS on Linux identical (or at least as close) to the Windows version of OBS?

I've been trying to get https://veado.tube/ to work but can't for the life of me figure it out, last night I spent about 40 minutes re-reading how to get it to work on Linux and never managed to.

Otherwise, I am rather satisfied from Linux and have had no issues besides this one so far, so if anyone could lend a helping hand please do!

Hi Everyone,

I have been using Linux Mint 22.1 for a few months for daily tasks and casual gaming, I've been trying to play for a few weeks but for some reason the Xbox controller no longer connects via Bluetooth, it does connect via USB, though.

I tried a different controller, the controller on an actual Xbox (works on the xbox but not on the PC), factory reset the controller, installed xbdriver (or something like that), xow, xpadneo and nothing works.

I created another user account and it says "Controller Connected" but the light in the controller won't stop flashing and it does not work at all.

Pairing, Connecting or even Trusting the yield the same result. I'm down to my sixth or seventh forum trying to find a solution but nothing helps.

Please help, thank you!

PS, that le-connection error does not show every time, only once every 8 or 10 attempts.
