Heroic Game launcher not launching any games from Epic or GOG

25. April 2026 - 21:48

Have Linux Mint and installed Heroic from the Software center. I have the latest version.

Tried 3 different games;
Two Point Hospital
Yooka Laylee
Bioshock 2

None of them work. They all launch and then immediately close.

Tried disabling Umu, using Proton GE-Latest, tried changing prefix name to _bak, tried setting up alternative .exe path, tried adding and launching through Steam.

Nothing works.

Is there any game that is known to just work right out the gate that I can try if I have it?

Is this performance normal with this specs? (Elden Ring)

25. April 2026 - 21:21

I've had this computer for months now and other games have run well, some better than others but generally fine. It was with Elden Ring that I started wondering if something was misconfigured on my laptop, if it wasn't good enough for ER or who knows what. These are my laptop's specs (I'm on Fedora KDE Wayland to X11, in case that's relevant,).

AMD Ryzen™ 7 7735HS Processor (8/16 cores, 3.20GHz up to 4.75GHz, 16MB Cache)

16GB DDR5 RAM (1x16GB) 1 Free Slot

1TB PCIe NVMe SSD Storage

15.6" FHD IPS 144Hz SlimBezel Display (1920 x 1080)

NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4050 6GB GDDR6 Graphics

At most the frame rate reaches around 50 fps, but rarely reaches 60, and it doesn't last long.

Feel free to ask any other questions; I'm quite new to Linux and don't know much so be nice to me pls : )

Vesktop has stopped function properly - screenshare, plugins, etc

25. April 2026 - 21:03

Yesterday, all worked fine. I was screensharing with friends, I was using plugins as normal.

Today, all of that does not work.

The primary errors I see are that plugins do not exist on vesktop, and that screenshare allows me to pick my video source, and then does nothing. Usually it then asks to pick an audio source.

I'm using a KDE environment on PikaOS, and I'm very, very new to linux as a whole. I don't understand what broke, because I didn't do anything to it to make it stop functioning.

Not sure if this is the right subreddit but I saw a similar post from a year back so I figure this is where I'd do it, since this is gaming-adjacent for me for stuff like archipelago randomisers, where we like screensharing to each other.

I'm looking for a way to configure and see battery indicator on Linux for Zaopin z2 and potentially other chinese mice. I have used web driver but I would love to see my battery indicator in taskbar.

Any help or pointing towards the right GitHub repositories would be appreciated.

Finally figured out head tracking in MSFS 2024

25. April 2026 - 20:08

Note that I have not calibrated it yet, which explains any weird jumps and weird movements in the video.

I'm not about to write a wall of text, so long story short, I'm using my Galaxy Fold 7 as the head tracker with DroidCam and Opentrack on my desktop which is running Fedora. I finally managed to get it to work without crashing every 15 seconds after a bit of trial and error. If you have any questions, then feel free to fire them at me.

LACT v0.9.0 is out - now offering (unofficial) undervolting support for Nvidia!

25. April 2026 - 20:07

Release: https://github.com/ilya-zlobintsev/LACT/releases

Changes (among other stuff):

  • UI Update

  • Nvidia Voltage-Frequency Curve Editor

  • Nvidia target temperature setting

  • AMD Hardware blocks information reporting (#942)

  • Better Flatpak service reliability (#902 and a few others)

I just read the announcement and haven't tried the new features yet. As always, I'm amazed what the author(s) have pulled off though. The previously impossible undervolting for Nvidia being an impressive feature in itself.

Since this concerns running your hardware out of spec, be aware that instability and/or damage are possible! Use it at your own risk.

Feel free to report back how it works out for you. :-)

How exactly do I launch another EXE while the game is running with Proton-GE?

25. April 2026 - 20:07

I cannot launch another EXE (trainer, save game editor, mod manager, etc.) while the game is running with Proton-GE. Only one EXE can be launched at a time within the same prefix. This is a problem for both Lutris and Heroic. The "Run EXE in prefix" just does not work. This does not happen with vanilla Proton. AFAIK, this is `umu-launcher` problem(?)

I remembered I used to work around that using `protontricks` but I cannot remember how, or find the instruction again. Please help.

Thank you.

Fedora 43 KDE: Retro Fighters Hunter Controller doesn't work properly

25. April 2026 - 19:43

Just installed Fedora 43 KDE. Currently trying to see what I can run on Linux, but I'm having some issues:

PCSX2 - Controllers works properly but right analog right doesn't work and doesn't get recognized by mapping

Dolphin - doesn't recognize the right analog stick at all

Retroarch (installed by Flatpak via official website or through terminal using "sudo dnf install retroarch") - Does not recognize controllers regardless of Driver settings.

I have a DualSense controller that works perfectly fine (so far) without any issues. I would prefer to use my Hunter Controller but until this gets fixed I can only use my DualSense on here. It's also worth noting that unlike DualSense, I believe the Hunter Controller is NOT Bluetooth 🥀 I think it uses 2.4GHz. The controller also works perfectly fine on Windows 11.

Lunar Client on CashyOS (Arch)

25. April 2026 - 19:20

When I tried to launch the game in Lunar Client (1.8.9) it crashed with the error code "null".

Fix:

  1. I had to download the Vanilla Launcher, i used this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cGrVOhrexw

  2. Even there it crashed with the Error Code 255 so I found some guy (TileEntity) who said that I needed to install lxrandr

    sudo apt update sudo pacman -S lxrandr

  3. Launch game and pray

This worked for me but I have honestly no idea what I have done exactly or what those commands even mean. Maybe you don`t even need step 1, idk

Do I REALLY need to format my external drive to ext4 to run Windows games with Wine/Proton saved on it?

25. April 2026 - 18:22

If so, can I partition half my external drive as exFAT and half as ext4? I really do need it to work as a storage device that I can use with other operating systems (mostly photos, videos, documents, etc). My games, I just need to run on my (hopefully soon) Linux machine.

Thanks!

Should I update my graphics drivers

25. April 2026 - 18:17

First off my specs

Linux Mint 22.3

RTX 4070 Ti Super

I9-13900K

32 GBs of DDR5 ram

I’ve not had much issues with the 580 drivers, but they are a pain in the ass for certain titles. Hogwarts Legacy has insane stuttering unless I tweak it extensively. UE5 games suffer performance issues. I was thinking to use the PPA driver installer to update to 595. I just can’t wait until Christmas when Mint 23 will come out and I want a decent performance increase where my pc can utilize my hardware. Any thoughts?

Is Hyperland good for Gaming?

25. April 2026 - 17:49

I was using a DE before but wanted to try out a WM on linux. But I'm afraid that it might not be good for gaming. Are WMs good for gaming?

Не загружается winetricks в lutris

25. April 2026 - 17:42

Недавно по некоторым возможно тупым причинам я поставил себе линукс, а именно Endavour OS с оболочкой gnome , и проблем в целом было не особо много и все было ок.Но когда мне понадобилось скачать игру, которую уже не купить, то случились проблемы с Lutris , когда я добавляю .exe файл, то пишет что что-то неустановлено и проверьте обновления, я нахожу этот пункт в настройках и ищу обновления. Они находятся и можно подумать , что все шикарно, но загрузка зависает сразу же на первом пункте , а именно winetricks.

Вот о чем я:

Я про загрузку снизу слева

Подскажите что делать пж

MangoHud doesn’t work in Graveyard Keeper

25. April 2026 - 17:35

I can’t make it work with this game. I paste the same command settings for Steam that I have in Cyberpunk where MangoHud works nicely.

Is there an issue with this game?

With the Steam Controller right around the controller, how are we navigating the Steam Client not being Wayland?

25. April 2026 - 17:31

I'm very interested in the Steam controller, but I also use the PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 argument for all of my games, which does not work well with Steam Overlay/Steam Input, ala the Steam Controller.

Is there a way to get around this or is the only option right now just removing the Wayland argument? I'm not sure I'm willing to do that and lose all the benefits of Wayland like HDR, lower latency, etc..
