Hi, I'm trying to get Cyberpunk running with gamescope and 1440p. My main monitor is 21:9, but for reasons I want to play it on 16:9 with black bars. I looked into gamescope, and got it running on 1080p, no problemas
(gamescope -w 1920 -h 1080 -f -r 144.0 --force-grab-cursor -- %command% --launcher-skip).

The whole monitor is getting used, and my game's on 16:9 with black bars. But since my monitor goes up unto 3440x1440, I wanted to up my resolution to 2560x1440. Now my problem is, that it's not using the whole monitor anymore. it renders the resolution and the rest is just my desktop.
(gamescope -w 2560 -h 1440 -f -r 144.0 --force-grab-cursor -- %command% --launcher-skip)

Did I overlook something? I also tried to add -W 3440 -H 1440 with no difference, -S stretch would work, but I don't want it so be stretched. The other -S options result in the picture above. Also the ingame settings are always set to borderless window, even if I add -f.

So, recently i switched to mint and i wanted to install roblox studio with vinegar, everything works fine except the studio interface glitches and it flashing all the time (it’s not that noticeable in the picture but it flashes black or green pixels really fast every seconds) it flashes terribly in the whole home interface, however it does not flash that much when i enter editing interface but it still glitching on a random button in editing page, then it get worse and consume the whole page while saving. I installed vinegar from flatpak via terminal, i reinstall the vinegar many times but it’s still appearing the same, i tried searching solutions and i found none of it. Does anyone know how can i fix this? Thanks

I've been trying at this for a couple of days but can't seem to get it locked down... for some reason xvi will hang with the wayland driver enabled, but when i use gamescope it has a whole host of issues too. it'll crash on boot most of the time and when it does manage to get in game, hdr doesn't seem to work properly at all. I'm on the newest mesa driver (25.2 git) and have tried different versions of proton (ge proton 10-3 and cachyos proton) with no luck. it launches consistently with proton 9, but all versions of proton 9 don't have support for FSR 4 which IS something I want to use... I realize that what I might be trying to do might not be there quite yet between the shift in how hdr works in games because of the wayland driver and FSR 4 still being early days, but do you guys have any advice?

Hello, i just set up my tasoller on cachyos to play umiguri. Everything was working fine but I now realize umiguri wasnt able to read (or possibly detect) the chart files. Does anybody who play umiguri on linux know how to fix this?

I've wanted HDR on Linux since 2018, and been following it ever since. Thought we would get HDR with Stadia (2019), or from the Steam Deck (2022) (we kinda did?). But I haven't been able to use it on my desktop PC properly. Gamescope does kinda work, but I found it to be unreliable.

Fortunately everything appears to be working for me now, and the instructions to follow what I did are pretty easy:

• 6.14.7 kernel
• AMD hardware
• Gnome + Wayland
• Use HDR Display
• Set launch options to DXVK_HDR=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command%
• Use Proton GE 10-3

The only downside is I get this new controller bug when I do this. I see "Remote desktop" every time I try to do anything and it's really annoying. Probably related to:

• https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1dq7rkp/i_get_this_prompt_every_time_i_plug_in_my_steam/
• https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/10442

Honestly I am not certain the bug is caused by HDR, or maybe it's just the game I am playing. But it's certainly progress!

Hey all i recently installed ubuntu 22.04 lts and tried to get guild wars 2 to run. When choosing proton i tried everything. 9 gave me an error that i needed direct x or updated drivers (i have a amd radeon 9070) and when trying experimental, GE i briefly have a cursor and sound but for the rest black screen which then turns into a full black screen no noise no cursor on my main monitor and my second monitor turns green. I have tested another game (mu complex) which runs fine. Anyone have an idea what could be going on?

This exact same error occurs when I try to run this program using Lutris as well.

From stuff I've seen on ProtonDB for the game, Proton Experimental should have decent results on Ubuntu.

I have also installed wine, if that's needed for anything.

This is the specific log on terminal, something about how proton isn't supported?

I'm not exactly sure what this means.

There's also the result for the CPU info:

Please let me know if this is enough information, or if more is needed or something. I'm new to linux, so please be kind if the fix is super obvious!

these two appear along with others in nobara driver manager. im currently using 'production'

Pretty exciting news for handheld gaming. I dont have a ROG or any other competitor devices, but I just think its awesome Valve basically gave their competition this OS for free. Have any of you installed it on one of your own handheld devices? How did it run?

First time buying a game from steam please ask for more info if nececery, thanks.

Recently, I switched out my Fedora installation with Nobara since Fedora wouldn't stop giving me kernel panics after each update for some reason. Not sure why it would do that, but after installing Nobara twice (I first installed it through Legacy, not UEFI. My mistake), my experience was almost flawless and I couldn't find anything wrong whatsoever, especially after the update from Nobara 41 to Nobara 42. Even though I am aware Bazzite exists, which I believe is the same thing as Nobara except it being immutable, I decided to check whether or not either or is better for my Ryzen 5 3600 rig, and I was somehow intrigued how people were having questionable experiences/opinions/etc about Nobara; however, it is not uncommon for Bazzite to share similar tendencies. i should mention it's posts are are a few months apart, so make of that what you will.

TL;DR, Given that my experience with Nobara has been pretty great so far, and I'd presume Bazzite would be just as good too, what's the kerfuffle with Nobara?
