since i installed linux, after closing / opening fullscreen in some games my resolution changes to square. when i open settings it says my correct resolution (1920x1200) and to fix i need to log out and log in.

it is not dependent on any game store in particular, because putting aside all the steam games it occurs for example also in minecraft (1.8 and lower) and supertuxkart.

changing my de, wm or even distro doesn't help ( at first i thought it was problem with archlinux, but after changing to linux mint and later to popOS nothing changed)

could anyone please assist me with troubleshooting here? any help would be greatly appreciated!

(Ok so this is kind of a rant post)

I recently started playing a few games that recommends controllers. When I plug in my Switch Pro controller, I check if Steam Input is turned on. Whenever it is, I can’t input anything with my controller to the game except screenshots. I don’t know if anyone else has this problem or if it’s just me.

(Marking it as tech support in case mods see this post as such)

None of the games I own that run on any version of the Unreal Engine have been able to launch since about December 16th. I first noticed this when Marvel Rivals stopped launching and instead gave an Unreal Engine crash pop-up. Figured it's a new game, few bugs to iron out, okay. I clicked 'Send and Close'. But then Deep Rock Galactic stopped launching and gave the same crash pop-up and I started thinking something was screwy. Again, 'Send and Close'. Then Sea of Thieves wouldn't launch and doesn't even give a crash pop-up, and that's when I realized something must be wrong on my end and not the games. The only thing I could find that ties these games together is that they run on some iteration of the Unreal Engine, so I think that's the culprit.

I did find some folks talking about UE5 games crashing at launch on Nvidia GPUs, even on Windows and that they were fixed in a recent update, but although my system is up-to-date any Unreal games still won't launch.

I have updated my drivers, changed drivers (I've tried everything from 535 to 565, I was on 550 when the issues started), verified file integrity, changed Proton versions, reinstalled the games, and none of it has fixed the issue.

Deep Rock Galactic Crash

Marvel Rivals Crash

Anything to even get me pointed in the right direction to getting these games working again is greatly appreciated.

I’m having trouble adding my Windows drive to Steam on Fedora Linux. Here’s what I’ve done so far: 1. Updated Fedora to the latest version. 2. Installed Steam using dnf install steam. 3. Enabled context menu focus compatibility mode 4. Ensured I have full access to my Windows Steam drive. Here’s the relevant fstab entry:

UUID=F41E66DD1E66987E /home/myuser/d ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,user,exec,umask=000,nofail,users 0 0
5. When I run ls -la /home/myuser/d, it shows my user as the owner, and I can read and write to the drive without issues.

However, when I try to add the drive in Steam as a library folder, it doesn’t work and it doesn’t send any error message at all.

Any ideas on what I might be missing?

Hello,

I own a Tobii head tracker 5, but unfortunately, as some you might know, this one does not work in Linux. I really miss playing DCS and was wondering what would be the best linux head tracking option out there. All suggestions appreciated unless it's "install Windows". Thanks!

Have some money saved up specifically to get a 34 inch oled monitor (2k widescreen).... but then I did some research and starting to wonder if it makes sense. My work (software developer) to gaming ratio is 80/20. Concerned about text fringing given how much work I will be doing on it.

More details: - work and gaming will be on the same monitor - work mostly done on mac - gaming and a little work done on linux - middle aged, eyesite is fine but not what it used to be - Current monitor is 27 inch 2k dell, nothing special - Linux: Bazzite, 7600x3d, 7800xt - Mac: M2

Any folks here in a similar position and have an oled? Is it worth it? Any suggestions? Anything I should stay away from?

I tried searching for a solution but couldn't find it, so I decided to try posting on Reddit so people can provide some guidance on where I should get more help (Heroic? Proton? I don't know what could be causing this so I don't know which project could help fix it)

https://reddit.com/link/1hoylkk/video/5yufmvic3t9e1/player

Basically I can either keep changing workpaces or alt-tabbing and when I come back to the game it just renders one extra frame before freezing again. Or if I keep some application on top of the game it works fine but if I try to play it stops again.

Example of games with this problem:

• Red Dead Redemption 2 (didn't help when disabling esync and fsync)
• Hot Wheels Unleashed (disabling them helped, but the problem gets back every like half an hour)
• Ghost of Tsushima (disabling esync and fsync fixes this problem)
• A few other games, all of them disabling esync and fsync worked

Built a new HTPC recently. Installed a few distros, bazzite was the smoothest. For the most part everything worked. Cyberpunk ran without a hitch. However I had many shows stoppers that I couldn't get passed.

1) Sleep. When waking from sleep the system would crash, necessitating a hard reset. Very annoying coming from a couch PC

2) Xbox one controller. I have the official dongle, and it would pair, but any time the system reset, I would need to get up and unplug the dongle before attempting to pair again.

3) some games didn't work or crashed when I got to a certain level

4) WOL. I'm sure this could be one that I could fix after enough tinkering, but it was a 1 minute fix in Windows.

I tried Kubuntu, bazzite, endeavour, all of them had issues. My hardware is all AMD as well (5600x, 6700xt). I really wished everything worked properly but so far my experience has been frustrating. I'll definitely try Steam OS in the future.

Anybody else share my similar pain points?

Hello everyone,

I just can’t take it anymore. I’m done with all these anti-cheat blocks on Linux. I’ve had enough of playing a game like Apex Legends and then suddenly not being able to play it anymore because some garbage company like EA can’t handle their own incompetence and fails to code a proper anti-cheat system, using Linux as their scapegoat by simply blocking it.

All I want is to play games natively on Linux. Or even better. Recently, I wanted to play Fortnite. But I couldn’t bring myself to dual-boot Wintrash 10, so I went through the hassle of setting it up in a VM with GPU passthrough and QEMU using very buggy scripts. After spending an entire day installing that mess (because German internet is absolute garbage), I finally opened Fortnite, only to get slapped with the message, “Virtual Machines not supported.” That was it for me.

I just want to play games like Apex, PUBG, and Fortnite comfortably without having to rely on shadowplay/cloud gaming services or dual-booting Windows.

I’m planning to switch to Fedora soon since, in my opinion, QEMU stuff works better there. Can anyone help me find a convenient way to achieve what I want without spending days troubleshooting everything? If that’s not possible, could someone at least guide me on how to dual-boot Windows 10 without it wrecking my entire system and, even better, how to make Wintrash as privacy-friendly as possible?

Thanks, and have a great day!

Ok so being a newbie it was definitely a bit challenging to setup arch linux for gaming compared to windows, but I was willing to learn.

And oh boy, I am happy I did.

The first game I tried was gta v,

it was running ok in windows 11, getting me somewhere between 15~30 fps (yes I have a shit laptop) and a huge tone of stuttering while driving and mission. (All settings were normal with resolution set to 600x800 btw)

In arch everything set to high and resolution set to native res of my monitor, no stuttering and fps well above 30

Next was minecraft (ofc) Same situation windows gave around 60~90 fps With lag But on arch it was a consistent 120fps

Other than gaming, in general I setup the installation with btrfs partition scheme, and use snapper and others tools which have saved me many times, like the rollback system is so fast and simple

Finally I would like to say I love learning things and Linux was the best thing I have started

Edit:btw I am running this on an old hdd, and it has bad sectors, I am hoping it's fine to do so

When playing a game on its own or even in a Discord call everything works fine, but if I start screensharing it it will eventually freeze.

This can happen as soon as I hit the button, when I Alt-Tab out of the game or even just randomly, while playing. Sometimes they even freeze when I'm not screensharing (while still in a Discord call), usually if I change windows a lot.

The game stays open and it even still plays sounds, but it becomes totally unresponsive and gets stuck on a single frame.

Steam games aren't the only one affected: I've tried streaming Genshin Impact, encountering the same issue. So far, the only game that didn't freeze is Crypt of the Necrodancer, which is probably the lowest game I own in terms of resource usage. Also, I've encountered the issue with games only: other applications seem totally unaffected.

So far, I've tried:

• switching from Wayland to X11 (as the former caused Discord to instantly crash instead)
• switching from PulseAudio to Pipewire
• installing Vesktop
• installing pipewire-screenaudio
• installing discord-screenaudio
• every step in this guide except the last two
• streaming through OBS
• following this guide
• setting Proton and GE-Proton under the game "compatibility" tab
• playing while running journalctl -f

My specs:

• Asus TUF A15 laptop
• FA507NV motherboard (mentioning just in case the issue is related to this post)
• 16 gb DDR5 ram
• RTX 4060 (dedicated GPU)
• Radeon 680M (integrated GPU)
• Ryzen 7 7735HS
• linux 6.12.4-arch1-1

Please do let me know whether there's something else I should mention.

Hi everyone,

I’m encountering a really strange issue with the Flatpak version of Steam on GNOME (not sure if the distro matters, but I’m using fedora 41, just clean installed). I installed Steam as a Flatpak and used Flatseal to grant it access to input devices.

What’s happening?

• Steam does recognize my PS4 controller:
  • I can configure it in Steam’s settings.
  • It works in Big Picture mode.
  • The input tests inside Steam show everything is fine.
• However, as soon as I start any game and press a button on the controller, GNOME pops up a prompt asking to start a “remote desktop session”(!). If I click “Yes,” the controller inputs get completely scrambled and even steam thinks i am using a keybord and mouse. If I ignore or click “No,” the controller simply stops working in the game.

I’ve tried:

1. Removing and reinstalling the Steam Flatpak.
2. Removing and re-adding permissions in Flatseal.
3. Checking if there’s any extra software (Wine, Proton, etc.) that might interfere.

No luck so far. Has anyone experienced this issue or knows how to fix it?

I’m at my wits’ end—any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
