frequent crashes playing borderlands 2 (memory leaks)

19. September 2025 - 01:23

I've been experiencing frequent crashes (every 20-40 minutes) from lack of video memory. the crashes seem to occur randomly. I have
- updated my drivers
- uninstalled the ultra hd texture pack
- turned physx to low
- reduced graphical settings
- re downloaded the game
- modified the willowengine.ini to increase memorybudget and MaxParticleResize PhysXGpuHeapSize PhysXMeshCacheSize
- tired different proton versions

these have made no notable difference to the crashing issue. I'm using a rtx 4060 and linux mint running the game on proton experimental. Any help is greatly appreciated.

FSR4 into Red Dead Redemption 2

19. September 2025 - 00:53

Hey guys, anyone managed to inject fsr4 into rdr2 on linux? I cant get the optiscaler overlay to open with dx12, only with vulkan. But as you know, fsr4 doesn't work directly with vulkan. Any tips? I'm running the latest version of Bazzite.

NVIDIA sucks on Linux (added punctuations)

19. September 2025 - 00:42

So what happened was, I wanted to play an Android game on my laptop and saw Waydroid was the way. Problem one: Waydroid works on Wayland and I am on Mint. Well fuck. I found a way to run it via Weston. Easy enough? Noooooo. For some reason, it showed communication errors. Spent 2 days tryna fix it. In the end, made it work (even had to use Timeshift but whatever). Then the Wi-Fi doesn’t work, device is not verified. Another day gone to hell. Finally, after 3 days, I thought now I can enjoy my game. Shi ran at 30 fpy (frames per year). So my first thought was: ahh obviously I have an iGPU, must be that. Searched around a bit more, found a script that lets you choose your GPU. Ran the script, yada yada yada. I open the game again—still 30 fpy. Me confused. Me do more Google. Well guess what, Waydroid says: “fk u Nvidia users, have fun with your software rendering.” Hahaha. (I know Nvidia Mesa is the problem but still, fk u Jensen Hago).

Now what did I learn? Idk man, y’all tell me what did I learn?

9070XT idle VRAM frequencies, not happening on Windows

19. September 2025 - 00:32

9070XT, 5700X, Debian Testing, Kernel 6.16.7, Sway Window Manager 1.10.1, Mesa 25.2.2-1, 4k 144Hz Freesync Monitor. LACT Power Limit 280W and -50mv, min VRAM 194Mhz (can't be set lower), max VRAM 2700Mhz.

When idling on desktop, the GPU itself clocks down to 10Mhz as expected. I booted up Windows on an external SSD for testing and the GPU does the same, and so does the VRAM (clocks under 10Mhz). In Linux, frequency minimum under 194 can not even be set in LACT and 194 is the lowest it can go. This increases idle power draw from 5 Watts under Windows to 20.

Also, when interrupting the idling, e.g. by scrolling a webpage in Firefox, the VRAM boosts to the max frequency for 15-20 seconds and only then goes back to minimum frequency. In Windows, it boosts for a moment to process the new content and immediately goes back to zero.

Can anyone confirm this behavior? With specs, that helps a lot when opening an issue on lact and/or the kernel driver.

EDIT: Using a second identical monitor raises the VRAM minimum to exactly 912Mhz and never goes below that

🐧It is no longer a myth!!! It has always existed. waybackmachine

It disappeared when Activision and Microsoft tried to buy Blizzard 2006-2007.

I would expect a WoW Classic on Linux.

Controller isnt working in rocket league

18. September 2025 - 22:58

Idk if it is relevant but i am using Arch. Hyprland. Proton experimental.

This issue is nothing new. Every time i would update my system the controller would stop working and to get the controller to work again i would reboot my system and it would work. However this time it has stopped working completely. Steam is still recognizing my controller input and the controller still works in other games but not this.

Is there a launch option that is able to fix this?

Que opinan ustedes?

18. September 2025 - 22:56

Gente, hace algo de tiempo que me quiero cambiar de Windows a una distribución de Linux pero no se cual, la idea es que sirva tanto para jugar como para programar, se que la tarjeta gráfica puede afectar en algunas distribuciones ya que la que poseo es una de Nvidia con un procesador de AMD. Por esta razón es que pregunto a las personas que juegan en Linux o a la gente que sabe del tema. ¿A que distribución de Linux me recomiendan cambiarme?

Black shutters on Unreal Tournament 2k4 under Gamescope

18. September 2025 - 22:15

Hey there!

When playing Unreal Tournament 2004 I'm experiencing weird black shutters when moving the mouse. If I keep my mouse static, no issues happen.

I'm running EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma, UT2004 is running with Gamescope enabled
The gamescope options are "gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -f --force-grab-cursor -- %command%"

It is to note that the shutters only happen when the game is running in fullscreen, if I put it into windowed mode, none appear.
Also, the shutters did not appear in the video playback when I tried to record them via OBS

I also booted up Killing Floor 1 with the same settings, and it also showed those bars, so I suspect it might be an issue with Unreal Engine itself.

When I don't set a resolution in the launch options it does run without the shutters, but the game obviously runs at a lower default resolution

Additionaly tried changing compatability modes on Steam from Native to Proton Experimental to ProtonGE-10, neither of which achieve any results.

Changing monitors or unplugging/disabling all but one also did not seem to fix the shutters from appearing.

GPU Refuses to go over 35ºC

18. September 2025 - 21:40

https://preview.redd.it/2dxlzo327zpf1.png?width=1348&format=png&auto=webp&s=4122d2cc967993406744eb9e73758b7058520065

I bought an RX 9060 XT and have been trying it out, however I noticed that the GPU was severely limited.

At first it refused to go over 20% usage and the fans were stuck at 0RPM, but using LACT I was able to find a 0RPM mode that was enabled by default, disabling it fixed the issue

However, not the GPU refuses to go over 35ºC. According to MangoHUD, the GPU is being thermal throttled, which makes no sense since the thermal limit according to LACT is 85ºC

Changing values in LACT doesn't seem to matter either, can anyone help me to unlimit my GPU?
