Hi,

I fixed a few things related to GTA V, including installing ProtonGE. That helped the textures stay on even after a couple of missions. But sometime later, the game stutters and freezes. Is there anything I can do.

I am playing this game through Steam, and I'm careful not to play online due to Battleye implementation.

Distro: Linux Mint CPU: AMD FX-4300 Memory: 8GB GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

Morning all,

So I've been gaming on linux for a while with a series of roadblocks which I normally am able to overcome. I started with my main PC on Bazzite which worked really well to a degree, I wasn't a fan of the Silverblue OS-Tree type of OS. So I installed Fedora 41 on my laptop. This has been an almost seemless experience and everything worked, from installing lutris, adding battle.net to that and installing games and other launchers without issue. Steam works great and I've been blown away by how simple it is and I prefer the OS to Bazzite.

So, rewind to yesterday and I pull the plug on going Fedora 41 on my PC and this has sucked, to put it frankly.

I'm trying to install battle.net and I can get the installer up but the installer fails right at the end of the installation process. Star Citizen launcher worked installing with the Lug helper scrpt but the game wont install, however, just inifinitely starts the download process but never downloads.

Could I be missing something here? After installation I ran full update. Installed Lutris from the Software Center so it should be legit and current. Lutris also installed a load of packages once I ran the first time.

Neofetch shows my GPU as being registered and active (AMD).

Any ideas on what I can try to get this working as well as my laptop!?

Thanks in advance

I have an RTX 3070, I game at 1440p. I am very excited for the new Transformer model of DLSS, which supposedly makes DLSS Performance look really clean and sharp. However, I am unable to determine if this upgrade will me available on Linux?

I am surprised this topic seemingly hasn't been mentioned in this subreddit all that much. You would think this (DLSS Performance now being a valid choice, which means that older GPU's are going to get a second life) would be a much bigger deal

Hallo zusammen,

Ich habe den Battle.net Launcher zuletzt Anfang Januar genutzt. Dort funktionierte alles (WoW). Nun wollte ich mal wieder Diablo 4 spielen.

Allerdings habe ich das Problem, dass weder WoW aktualisiert werden kann, noch der Download von Diablo 4 bis zum Ende durchgeführt wird.

In beiden Fällen bricht der Download ab mit der Fehlermeldung: Es ist ein unbekannter Fehler mit einer Datei aufgetreten, bitte versuchen Sie es später noch einmal.

Seltsamerweise tritt der Fehler bei Diablo 4 immer bei 39% des Downloads auf (bei ca. 50GB/127GB). Zuvor bricht die Downloadrate drastisch ein (von normal 80 - 100MB/s auf ein kaar KB/s).
Unter Windows bricht an exakt der gleichen Stelle die Download Geschwindigkeit auch ein, allerdings läuft der Download nach ein paar Minuten ohne Fehlermeldung wieder mit voller Geschwindigkeit weiter.

Ich habe bereits folgendes versucht:

1. Installation auf verschiedenen Partitionen / Datenträger (NTFS & ext4)
2. Battle.net Launcher neu installiert (alten über Lutris gelöscht)
3. verschiedene Runner

Ich verwende Kubuntu 24.10 mit Wayland (was, wie gesagt zuvor gut Funktionierte).

Als Grafikkarte habe ich einen RTX4090. Treiberversion: NVIDIA-SMI 560.35.03

Hat jemand eine Lösung?

Hey all hope your day is going well! Apologies for the wall of text, don't feel like you have to read it lmao.

Got a couple of questions I want to ask the subreddit to get some opinions.

I've ran arch as a rolling release multiple times and I love it, however I have a lot of issues with nvidia drivers as I have a 3070, the main problem is some performance drops that also make my gpu only be used at like 40% and my cpu is the same, maybe I was a noob but it made me go back to windows for work things as I didn't have to worry about it.

However Windows is just being more and more invasive and no matter how many times I disable things like recall it comes back. So I want to jump back to arch full time.

I've noticed that Nvidia 570 seems to be coming out, so should I wait for it to be added officially to the Arch reop? I want the best support for my gpu that linux can offer. Details about my set up as I had some other issues, I have a RTX 3070 and a R5 5800x. I have 2 monitors, however one has Gsync capabilities so I want to use that on my primary monitor as I love gsync. I also much prefer Wayland over X11 and I want to run a WM, probably hyprland but open to other suggestions. So how is Gsync looking on linux rn?

Another thing is I am a game developer so I want to be able to run unreal engine on my Linux install, has anyone done this before? If so how was the set up experience?

Another thing is I game a lot, but I have barely played any anti cheat games in a long while and any I do support linux as I use a steam deck as well, my question is if I use wayland how is gaming performance?

I set up sunshine for game streaming to my steam deck as well so is sunshine good on linux?

And the final big question is, how is setting up multilple drives being mounted on boot? I've had some issues way in the past and haven't done it since, is it easier to do now? I have like 5 Drives in my pc and use them all lmao.

Thanks for the help!

So i whant to switch to linux cuz my pc is slow on Windows 10 and i like gaming so shud i use popos as my firsth linux thing (sorry for bad english)

EDIT: Ignore title, it's ArchiveXL, not tweak. ;)

Right so, another day, another fucking update, and everything breaks. It's like Skyrim all over again. Anyway! I'm on Mint, running through Steam.

I tried updating my mods, and no go. Redid everything from scratch. Mods are updated and should work. Even did a full clean reinstall, new proton prefix with d3dcompiler47 and vcrun22.

- Install only updated RED4ext - game starts.

- Install updated ArchiveXL as well - game refuses to start. "RED4ext.SDK: Failed to resolve address for hash 0x28cc1abd."

No idea what's up. Still no go. Anyone got any clues?

Was just testing out the new nvidia 570 *beta* drivers while using cachyos under wayland. It would seem that either GGG fixed something, or these new drivers did, because I can launch the game everytime through stream (Proton Experimental with vulkan renderer) without any black screens. The performance for me is equal now if not better for me on Linux than in windows.

Lots of improvements with this upcoming driver, Good Job Nvidia!
