Yes, I am aware of the DX12 nvidia bug, but still - all settings maxed.

- DLSS off: 45-50fps
- DLSS Quality: 65 fps

...on a 5090.

The frame gen toggle seems broken, must be a game issue because toggling it does nothing and there is a steam community post about here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1941540/discussions/3/596282483724649664/

I have tried without success to use gamescope with my nvidia card on 570 drivers. I'm trying because I want HDR and hoping gamescope can help since I use mint cinnamon, which uses x11.

From a TTY, not within cinnamon, I tried quite a few switches but even the simplest:
gamescope -- steam -gamepadui
results in this (warning - strong flashing):

i have the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 enabled in my grub config, and have tried -e, -f, -r 60, have also tried these before the gamescope command:
DXVK_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=1
ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0

and have added -steamos to the steam command.

not even gamescope -- glxgears looks right - also strong flickering.

I just followed the build instructions on github, didn't change any settings. Very open to the idea that I screwed something up while installing one of the bajillion dependencies.

Hello! I recently got a good deal on Assassin's Creed Shadows, which ended up being through Ubisoft Connect. To play this on my Nobara Linux 42 machine, I used Lutris, which worked fine once I removed the default DLL override Lutris put on for it. The game opened, the intro videos played, I was able to create a new save, but as soon as I got into a portion of the game that actually had the game's world in it (in this case, the first cutscene with Yasuke), I froze within the first thirty seconds and it never resumed even after two hours of waiting. This happened multiple times despite changing in-game settings like setting all graphics to Very Low, disabling the Upscaling and Frame Generation settings, etc.

When trying to figure this out by looking online I found two posts on this sub-reddit (link1, link2) from four months ago that pointed me towards using Pyroveil. I did this, and I had no change with regard to my problem. I got in contact with someone from the two threads that had gotten their's working with a similar setup, and they even said that the newer drivers (570.153.02 and later) don't seem to need the Pyroveil fix to play without the issue.

Through Lutris, I've tried GE-Proton (Latest), GE-Proton 8-25, GE-Proton 9-26, GE-Proton 9-27, GE-Proton 10-10, Proton (Experimental), and wine-tkg-valve-exp-bleeding-experimental.bleeding.edge.10.0.226640.20250804. All of these either had the same freezing issue, or didn't even open Ubisoft Connect properly. Using advice from various places on the web for similar issues with other games, I disabled Esync, Fsync, and Feral GameMode in Lutris, and tested various environmental variables in Lutris including DXVK_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 and DXVK_SYNC=0, and I used MangoHUD to limit my fps to 30.

At that point, I was actually able to play without freezing, but only at 30 fps. I raised this to 60 and got a freeze, lowered it to 45 and got a freeze, lowered it to 42 and no longer froze. I can deal with this if I have to, but I'd rather play the game at a higher frame-rate if I can, since I think my GPU should be able to (I could be wrong, it's "old" now, I know).

I also tried playing the game on both my Steam Deck OLED and Framework 16 w/ GPU module (Fedora Linux 42) and the game worked without issue on both. Because of this, I figured it could be an issue with my drivers or GPU. I'm relatively new to Lutris, though, so I don't know.

I did also try playing this through Steam via installing Ubi. Connect as a non-Steam game, then adding the UbisoftConnect.exe executable as a non-Steam game, too, and playing through that but it also had the same freezing issue on Proton Experimental and GE-Proton 10-10. By this point today, I've been locked out by Ubisoft's DRM for the third time in the last three days, so I'll have to wait for another 24 hours or so before I can even launch the game again.

I should note that I did play the game on my Steam Deck and Framework 16 for a while to progress before trying on my desktop again later to ensure it wasn't an issue with the first cutscene somehow. Despite this, I continue to freeze on the desktop when the game world loads or when the benchmark begins.

As far as I've been able to tell from MangoHUD and nvtop, my GPU and CPU temps have been fine. I have, however noticed that every time I freeze MangoHUD reports my GPU utilization at 95%. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. This is the only game I've had a serious issue playing on Linux (that wasn't due to Anti-Cheat).

I didn't save any logs from Lutris or Proton before I got locked out for 24 hours today by Ubisoft's Denuvo DRM. If I haven't found a solution by the time I get unlocked, I'll update the post with some logs here.

PS: I tried to adhere to the sub-reddit's guide on writing tech-support posts as best I could. If there is something you think could help me improve this request, please let me know and I'll do my best to update it.

Hey I decided to download Linux mint on my old ASUS X55C with an i3-2328m and 8 GB of RAM to try it I can play the latest Minecraft Java version with an average 40 FPS, on Windows 10/11 I could only play 1.16.5 with 30 FPS I wanted to ask if there is a better Linux Distribution for my old Laptop

I can not play on some of the most popular servers on Unturned. Because I use Linux. What is this

Hello, im the creator and developer of PULS

PULS is a responsive and feature-rich system monitoring dashboard that runs in your terminal. Its primary goal is to provide a clear, comprehensive, and interactive view of system processes, complemented by a high-level overview of hardware statistics.

Built with Rust, PULS allows you to quickly identify resource-intensive applications on the dashboard, and then instantly dive into a Detailed Process View to inspect the full command, user, environment variables, and more.

For reliability, PULS also features a Safe Mode (--safe), a lightweight diagnostic mode that ensures you can still analyze processes even when your system is under heavy load or if you have a low-end system.

I just released v0.2.0, im waiting for your feedback who tests it, thank you! Here is the GitHub Page: GitHub Link

Ever since last night Sober refused to work.
At first it just said that I had disconnected and needed to reconnect but whenever I tried to join any game it would say that, I checked if I was still connected to wifi and I was it was just that Sober wouldn't respond.
I powered down my system and then it told me that i needed files from android which I very much did not have. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled, powered down my system again and when I got back it told me an update was required. I copy pasted the code into terminal, and it successfully uninstalled but as you can see on the left it couldn't reinstall, and when I tried to update flatpak it just told me, "Nothing to do."

I wanted to play Honkai Star Rail on my archlinux laptop
well launcher worked out of the box i downloaded HSR and hit start game
the launcher closed, game screen came for a split second and disappeared.

i have checked the logs and encountered these

info: OpenVR: could not open registry key, status 2
info: OpenVR: Failed to locate module
warn: OpenXR: Unable to get required Vulkan Device extensions size
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libgamemodeauto.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file):

these errors came even if i do not hit start game so im not sure these are the errors causing to crash, but i couldnt found anything odd on the log except these

i saw a popular third party launcher but i just didnt use it... do you guys suggest using it?

I have connected my GOG account to play a newly purchased game (but old title) on my ubuntu build, but said game doesn’t appear. I refreshed and restarted everything, waited a week and still nothing.
How can I fix this issue?

My Linux Steam library is on an SSD that is failing. (5000+ Non-correctable errors according to smarttools and some ATA hardware errors when trying to play some games.) The Steam library is NOT the default one in my home directory. If I replace the drive and recreate an empty directory with the same path and name as the old Steam Library, other than needing to re-install games, what bad things will happen? Any suggestions?

Hi, I just bought a low profile graphics card for my pc, it is a AMD R7 450, I decided for this card since it was cheap and my computer is not that new, I installed it and it worked fine (Attached a screenshot of neofetch)

https://preview.redd.it/jxopvetcdmhf1.png?width=842&format=png&auto=webp&s=4096eb8cc8439c2c115b0cb5f35bfff54be57c4c

But for some reason, every time I try to open steam it starts to open but the steam web-helper just wont open, it gets stuck on a loop where it tries to open but closes itself immediately

Not sure if this helps but this shows up on the terminal when the loop starts

I did some research online and found the command "DRI_PRIME=1" which is for opening with and without the dedicated graphics card (1 and 0 respectively) so I opened steam with the intel integrated video and the webhelper worked fine, but when i tried to open a game with the command DRI_PRIME=1 (so it used the graphics card) it wont open.

i thought it might be a issue with the amd driver so I tried to search about it but I always found that people say to just use the amdgpu graphics that come with the kernel

Then i tried to reinstall steam, installing it via flatpak, resetting it but nothing changes this behavior

I'm not that tech savvy and at this point I'm out of options so I hope you can help me, I'm attaching some extra info as images

We worked on it for three years, and now we can't wait to hear what you think!

Native Linux support included!

It comes with map/scenario editors and multiplayer

I really don’t know how

Hi. Yesterday I played as usual, but today I am here. I checked my ./local/Steam/steamapps/downloading , it was a symlink to /opt/steam/downloading , but it does not exist. I cant launch any game, pls help

Hey all, after a whole lot of distro hopping I have settled for Fedora and have been loving it. On windows I was using a fork of sunshine called Apollo, used it to stream on moonlight clients on my steam deck and TV. It had auto resolution and a virtual display, my pc screen used to get disabled when ever i was streaming to a device and the resolution for the desktop was automated.

Sunshine works out of the box, I wanted to achieve something similar on Linux, auto resolution and pc screen being disabled when i start a stream. I am using a ryzen 7600 with 4070Ti Su. Can someone help me with this or direct me towards the right path. I looked into virtual displays for wayland but honestly have no clue how to achieve this.

How can I fix this problem? Also, when I shut down the computer while Bottles is still running in the background, it takes like 2–3 minutes to turn off I guess it's waiting for Bottles to stop.
