I am using CachyOS and playing GTA 5 using Heroic Games Launcher just fine. The problem is hangs and stutters here and there. On my previous distro, the hang was for like 3-5 seconds. On CachyOS, it is now 2-3 seconds. But the thing is that I am playing this game for really long time. I got this game when Epic was giving it away for free. This game never hanged or stuttered. Seems like that assets are not being loaded on time. At first, I thought that this might be GPU problem. But other more demanding games like high paced Doom Eternal and SSD demanding Talos Principal 2 work just fine without any issue. Any other game that I have played so far does not have this problem at all. Only this one game has it. I am playing GTA 5 legacy. AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with RX 590 16GB RAM.

I've been trying to figure out if it's a good choice, everything i've seen about it on linux is months old and not really helpful. Like, does steam input support it? Do I need to install windows to set it up? I saw someone saying that it WOULD be supported in the future, but didn't know if it was or not when i asked them several months later. Someone claimed to have made a driver for it a while back but it looked vibecoded so i'd like to hear from someone that actually uses it.

I would just wait for the steam controller but if the dpad is the same as the steam deck's it's DOA for me.

i'm on Mint XFCE. i'm trying to install steamtinkerlaunch so that i can use Vortex mod manager with Skyrim, but i have a few issues.

i've referenced a few different in-depth guides to make sure i'm doing the right steps, but i've looked around and can't seem to find anyone with a solution to my issues.

i have the up-to-date version of stl, my yad is installed correctly (i know this, because before i found out that the version available through protonup-qt is outdated, i installed it there and had to get yad working first)

1. i have it selected as my compatibility tool, but the menu that's supposed to pop up when i launch my game through stl (with the option to open the settings) just isn't opening. the stl popups in the top right of the screen are there, so i know it's working on some level, but no menu.
2. running "install" on the stl file just displays the same output as the "help" command for it. therefore, when i try to install Vortex, it says "Unknown option --decorated". i also couldn't find what that means.

honestly, should i just switch distros again? is there one that'll make this simpler? i'm open to it at this point. i had an Arch-based distro for a while - specifically Garuda - but that one kept messing up my computer's firmware (i confirmed it was the os causing the problem, since it went away immediately after switching), so now i'm wary of switching again.

or, hell, if all else fails, maybe i'll just start saving up my extra money to buy a better gaming laptop. i hate windows, but maybe it's my only option to be able to get back to modded Skyrim... hopefully not, though!

system info, in case that's useful here:

CPU: 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 7530U with Radeon Graphics (-MT MCP-)

speed/min/max: 1497/400/4547 MHz Kernel: 6.14.0-37-generic x86_64 Up: 39m

On Gentoo with a 3080-ti.

On steam community, someone reported something similar, though it was on Windows 11.

I suspect some update created the problem, as it was running fine last week.

I'm reaching out to see if anyone has heard anything related.

I was attempting to use blender, and discovered that the version of steam I had installed was the flatpak version. Two things made me think about this, I was attempting to use blender on this version of steam, and... Could barely run it on the default cube, even though I've got a meaty PC. Then, yesterday I was trying to play persona 3 reload and was getting maybe 2FPS and I should not have been. So my question is simply, what other things did I bork by using the flatpak version of steam? I wound up installing a native version instead later and that fixed both the blender problem, and the persona 3 reload problem, and got me thinking.

Arch Linux

WiVRn

When launching any VR game, it doesn't run or fires an error saying xrizer has crashed, panicked at src/compositor.rs:1013:17:
xrizer.txt

This started when I recently changed from a radeon 5700 XT to a RTX 5060 TI

Launch any VR game

Yes I have latest driver's and I have tried reinstalling openxr, openvr, xrizer, and wivrn. I'm lost at this point.

Hi Reddit!

I’ve been working on a homemade console build for the past few months, and I’m still getting the parts together.

Here’s what I have so far:

i7-10700K

ASUS TUF Gaming Z490 (this will probably be replaced for an mATX board due to the size)

16GB DDR4 3200MHz, 2x8GB

I got all of that used for $150.

Now I’m looking for GPU suggestions. Today’s GPU market makes it pretty annoying to decide. At first, I was planning on getting an Intel Arc A750, but then I realized its Linux performance is a lot worse than Windows, and this console is probably gonna run Bazzite so that’s probably a no go.

What would you recommend?

EDIT: I meant STeam profile, not battle.

When I try to view a gamer profile, sometimes I accidentally click the view steam profile. When I do that, it goes into Steam to view, but when I click back on Overwatch, it doesn't accept any input anymore - not even ESC. I see the mouse cursor changed to the OW cursor, but it does not accept any input or clicks either.l None of the keyboard input work.

I'm on a 5950x with 3090 running Fedora 43 Gnome.

Anyone else experience this? When this happens, I always have to ALT-F4 the game.

I've been able to play Halo MCC fine for years on Linux, but today I tried playing campaign with a friend and matchmaking but the game would kick me out after a bit. ​​​We tried starting the game up with anti cheat disabled and the campaign is working now. Is this an intended anti cheat block by Microsoft or can this be fixed somehow?​

First, Specs:
CPU: i5-12600KF
GPU0: 4070Ti Super
GPU1: 3060Ti
RAM: 32GB
PSU: 1000W

Second, OS: Bazzite (NVIDIA ver)
KDE Plasma ver: 6.6.4
KDE Frameworks ver: 6.25.0
Qt ver: 6.10.3
Kernel ver: 6.17.7-ba29.fc43.x86_64
Graphics Platform: Wayland

Third, Game/steam settings:
Game: Satisfactory
Game ver: 1.1
Proton ver: Proton 11
Game Launch settings that work: NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD_PROVIDER=NVIDIA-G1 NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD_PROVIDER_PCI_ID=0000:01:00.0 or NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD_PROVIDER_PCI_ID=0000:01:00.0 does the same thing.

Both launches the game but only at 20fps and using about 40% of the GPU. This so far has been the only way to get the game to launch at all. Otherwise it does not even pop up the Satisfactory logo. Have checked that the PCI ID is correct for what GPU i want it to use (the 4070Ti Super). To be fair this problem was caused by me installing the 3060Ti, but I want to keep it sense I want to experiment with 2GPUs. All that I have researched out there for 2 GPUs is laptops with 1 discrete GPU and one integrated. I could not find a case of 2 discrete Nvidia GPUs not working right or if I did it was AMD. Any one who is more knowledgeable beyond my 90Min of googling, looking, and fiddling around would be appreciated.



Hello! I am currently using CachyOS and it's a great distro for gaming. I love it and love how smooth and easy the gaming experience has been for me. I have always been curious about Linux From Scratch and when I saw their website they had GLFS, which is basically for gamers. I would love to know how is the gaming experience on it. I have sooooo many questions.

• How does it differ from other well established distros like Debian, Fedora and Arch?
• What difficulties are there which popular distros solve?
• How does the package management and upgrading work with LFS?
• How is the gaming performance?
• Are there any advantages of using a barebones Linux for gaming?

Thank you. :)

alguem que tenha o redragon king pro pode me falar se ele é compativel no piper do linux se poderem responder ficarei feliz.

i nead help with red dead 2 im on fedora toi used all the protons and it will download rokstar and then say it failed to installi tried deleted rock star club folder

Eu tive dificuldade com o script do Hook V e queria compartilhar a solução que encontrei. Se você deletar o arquivo dinput e colocar este comando no Steam, o script funciona

Comando: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xinput1_4=n,b" %command%

Hi all,

I am a daily Fallout76 player. And bethesda games being bethesda games I have had quite a few headaches over the last few months.

One of the main ones is that I run the game through gamescope, mainly to capture the mouse to the game. However using the default backend this did not correctly pass on the alt+f4 command through the layers. Leading to a game shutdown but the gamescope(wayland?) screen turning black and white and requiring a forced shutdown of the process.

Previously I fixed this by moving to the sdl backend, however an update to Fallout76 from this week broke this (while also delivering a 10-20% performance boost so I can´t complain too much). But now im back to the wayland backend with the same issue.

Anyone got any insights into this?

I'm genuinely flabbergasted right now. Ive been on Linux mint for a while now and for some reason my Xbox controller won't work on some steam games. My controller is detected in steam. It will say "your Xbox controller is supported/ partially supported" I will click settings and see options to tweak my controller however 3 games are the exception as of right now. The Kingdom hearts games, and spiderman miles morales. I will click that view options button and the box stays empty. Attached are 2 of the games that aren't working and 1 game that works. Any advice to fix please!

Featuring 'Fantasy VII Rebirth' because its a hot mess on any platform outside of PS5 usually 👍🏻

Just my initial impressions (as a Steam Deck user of nearly 4 years) of the SteamOS and gaming experience on the Ally Z1E after a few days of use.

Very impressed overall so far I have to say! The VRR implementation is just amazing 🙏🏻
