Unable to use Rock Band 1 Drums (X360) on Linux.

20. September 2025 - 18:36

It's detected on USB list, Steam and RPCS3 doesn't detect it, but Guitar Hero Xplorer works.

Any solution?

FSR4 not improving FPS/quality presets don't work

20. September 2025 - 17:53

I am using custom proton builds to enable FSR4 with my 9070xt and I have noticed that my FPS is the same whether I turn FSR4 to native mode or performance mode and even off.

I am unable to adjust the quality of FSR4 in both of the games I have tried using it in (Dying Light: The Beast and Hunt: Showdown). If I switch to TAAU or XeSS the profiles work fine.

I am enabling FSR4 with "ROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1" and I know it works because in Dying Light FSR 4.0.2 shows up as an option. Using cachyos proton with FSR4_WATERMARK the watermark does appear and works.

If I use TAAU or XeSS in Dying Light I get about 80fps on the quality preset. If I use Native Res I get about 40-50. Using FSR4 at native gets me about 40-50 and setting it to Performance also gets me 40-50.

In Hunt Showdown setting "FSR" to OFF gets me 90-110 FPS. Turning "FSR" ON gets me 90-110 FPS at all quality presets.

All this together tells me that FSR4 is not changing quality presets in games despite it being injected properly. I need help. I dont want to go back to windows for FSR4.

specs:

9070xt : Mesa 25.2.3 drivers

5800x3d

64GB 3600Mhz RAM

6.16.7-arch1-1 (64 bit)

MH Wilds poor performance after last update

20. September 2025 - 17:44

I used to play the game with Frame Gen on a RX7900XT and a 9800X3D at really high frames and not more than 61~62ºC. Proton GE v10.12 and v10.15 tested.

After the last 1-2 updates, I started playing again (one day I was tinkering with Proton versions and it banned me for 24 hrs, which made me ragequit the game for a month or so) and noticed that the game runs even worse than before.

For instance, I don't get excessive higher temps, I'm around 65~67ºC now, but the FPS are horrible. I turn Frame Gen on and my fans spin like crazy, while the game has horrible frame spikes (like from 85 to 120 or so). I've got a good cooler and case, and airflow shouldn't be a problem either (I have a very good cable management, so it's not on the hardware side).

I haven't changed anything on my UEFI settings but gosh this game is even worse to play than 1-2 months ago! I play MH:W at not more than 55ºC, 144fps and at 2K, which makes it an awesome experience on Linux.

I was wondering if you guys could give your feedback, cause mine has been horrible.

Unable to initialize SteamAPI

20. September 2025 - 17:25

I've been getting this error for the last couple of hours and don't know what the issue could be.

I've been trying to run Persona 3, Persona 5 and The Finals and always get this error message.
Could this be a temporary Denuvo ban? I was trying out different Denuvo versions with Persona 5 Strikers before, since that didn't really work out of the box.

Проблема с FPS в играх на Ubuntu (Wayland). На X11 всё работает отлично.

20. September 2025 - 17:09

Всем привет! Я новичок в Linux, поставил Ubuntu на свой игровой ПК и столкнулся с проблемой производительности.

**Железо и софт:**

* CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

* GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super

* Драйвер: NVIDIA 580 (использую проприетарный драйвер из `additional drivers`)

* ОС: Ubuntu 24.04 (предположительно)

**Проблема:**

При запуске игр в сессии Wayland fps 20-30. Сначала подумал, что Wayland неправильно определил частоту моего монитора (240 Гц) и заблокировал её на 30, но это не так.

**Решение?:**

Когда переключаюсь на сессию X11, всё работает идеально — fps в играх 200-500.

В чём может быть причина такой разницы? Есть ли способ заставить всё работать так же гладко на Wayland?

I over-engineered backing up my pokemon saves.

20. September 2025 - 16:40

When I run my script, my pokemon game saves are copied from their default directory to a backup directory I have. ~/Documents/Pokemon/save-backup/game-name. The save file is copied to its respective folder (emerald.sav would copy as ~/Documents/Pokemon/save-backup/emerald/ddmmyyyyhhmm.sav). My save-backup is then pushed to my GitHub where I can access my saves from any device connected to the Internet. I have my script saved in .local/bin/Pokemon-Backup so it can be launched from dmenu.

Quick question: Does Desktop Environment affect ability to run games? What about X11 vs Wayland?

20. September 2025 - 16:32

Some games work fine on CachyOS/KDE Plasma/Wayland, but randomly crash on Linux Mint/Cinnamon/X11.

Does the DE or display server matter, or is it purely because CachyOS has a newer Nvidia driver?

My solution for net jitters in online games on Linux, on Wifi.

20. September 2025 - 14:35

Recently I have made a post here that I have periodic net jitter while playing online games such as DotA2 and CS2 on linux. Jitters that last 5-10 seconds, once every idk, 3-6 minutes, I didn't really time the periods, but they were pretty often so that they could impact my playing. And I solved the problem! While I found almost no information online about this solution, I figured I should make this post to document it, maybe it will help someone in the future, especially since gaming on linux is becoming more and more common.

So I exclusively use Wifi, because I only have a gaming laptop and not a PC, and I move it around the house often. I remember playing these games on Windows not too long ago and I had no problems with jitter. Same laptop, same router/ISP. I have once recently tried a wired ethernet connection at someone else's house, and the problem dissapeared, but I don't have wires inside my house and I don't intend to have them. So I figured the problem has to be from Linux.

I am currently using Arch, but I have found out that wifi drivers are kernel based, so distros don't really have much to do with it. Having a rolling release on arch means that I always pretty much have the latest drivers, so the problem has to be somewhere else.

I have found online and while using chatgpt that the drivers might force power saving. I have tried to force them not to, but that did nothing.

Claude 4.1 was just released, the latest model, and I asked it about my problem, and it actually came with the solution eventually! No other chat solved it for me.

It has to do with the suppliant. So there is this thing called a supplicant, a daemon that runs on top of the drivers that handles wifi authentication and encryption and others. By default I had wpa_supplicant running, an older supplicant, but widely used. Claude said I should try changing the supplicant to iwd, a newer and better one, developed by Intel. And after I changed it to iwd, my net jitter was eradicated!

I have asked chatgpt to explain what is a supplicant and what it does, and I will share the link to the chat with you, since chatgtp will explain what's going on way better: https://chatgpt.com/share/68ce85a8-5140-800c-9881-d76a278e5a50

Basically, as far as I understand, every once in a while this supplicant refreshes authentication keys with the router and stores them in the driver. And I think when wpa_supplicant did that, I had jitters in games, like I said, once every 3-6 minutes, jitters that lasted 5-10 seconds. Chanding to iwd, a newer and more performant supplicant, this problem is no more.

Changing the supplicant is as easy as installing iwd with your package manager, and with systemctl stopping and disableing the wpa_supplicant daemon and starting the iwd daemon. I remember that I also made a config file where I described the iwd daemon and started it to be sure it will stay like that. I'm not going to put all the instructions here, since every AI nowdays will provide you better instructions when you say that you want to change the supplicant from wpa_supplicant to iwd.

So that's it! Hope this information will help someone one day.

Gamescope crashing counterstrike 2 after 45~minz

20. September 2025 - 14:32

Im using the standard launch options to stretch 3840 x1440 to 5120 x 1440 for stretched but after 1 hour it crashes my game.

Is there a workaround or another way to add a custom resolution to the game without gamescope

It's only me or others notice that the Anticheat is just a data gathering tool?

20. September 2025 - 14:27

I've been trying to figure out how to get a game (Aion) with Active Anticheat to work on CachyOS, tried multiple configurations, libraries, etc... And even tried to make my own private server of that game (Aion) to try to figure out what kind of files and permissions I need to make it run. And doesn't matter what I put there, the Anticheat "dump" everything. I'm certain now that those softwares are just data miners getting our informations so their devs can sells it... I've given up all games that uses any kind of Anticheat, not because I can't run it, but because it just steal our data to be sell... That is sad at certain point.

This post is just me thinking...

Overwatch 2 processing Vulkan shaders..

20. September 2025 - 14:16

I've been trying to play overwatch 2 for a while now, I'm on bazzite Nvidia edition and when launching it through steam it tries processing Vulkan shaders, the only issue is that it takes hours (probably, I haven't waited for it to finish cause I have shit to do on my pc) When I skip it though, the game runs but it's REAALLY slowz I have an rtx 3050ti mobile and I'm getting sub 30 fps at all settings low and 50% render quality When playing on windows I used to get about 144 fps all the time but now when I switched it does this.

Simucube Tuner only rendering black window

20. September 2025 - 14:13

I can‘t get the Simucube Tuner to work properly. Installed it like the simucube true Drive driver with wine (they have a manual on their Website) but when I run it there is only a black window rendered. I can click in the top right to close/minimize the window. So it seems like the Software is running but the rendering is broken. I already tried to change the rendering Pipeline from D3D to OpenGL and tried a bunch of different settings through winecfg.

I can‘t go back to true drive because then I need to downgrade the simucube base firmware.

Any ideas how to fix this issue?

Can launch game only once before needing to switch proton-version

20. September 2025 - 13:31

I want to play Final Fantasy 16 but I can only launch it once, when I try to launch it a second time it just hangs. I can "fix" this by switching proton version which makes the game boot once, although I have to compile shaders every time so it is very tedious. I used "PROTON_LOGS=1" to gather some logs, and a specific log is being spammed after a bunch of other logs, I'll paste the log-spam here :

I have tried several proton version, ranging from proton ge 9-27 to 10-14 plus proton experimental. I have tried with and without the FFXVIFix mod, I tried deleting vkd3d-proton.cache in the game install directory and have tried multiple different environment variables. Ill post my current ones just to show:

Does anyone here know why this might be happening? Ill past the full proton-logs below:
