I have some internal capture card i can't really find much on by DIGITNOW, it appears in OBS and captures my input for some short amount of time but then disappears entirely, I can't identify it with lsusb or lspci, I need to restart my computer for it to work (Shortly) again.

I know there's a solution with using usbreset while OBS is open to get it to register again that might work but yeah it looks like it stops registering as a USB device at the same time, where can I look for and how can I identify this device?

it looks like there's some kind of usb ID here but I couldnt see a match with lsusb

Hi,

Im just making this post hoping someone knows why certain games ive been playing are now hard capped at 120fps when switching to an AMD GPU.

These certain games are Hunt Showdown and Black Ops 3. Since moving to Linux ive used 3 GPUs, 4070S ---> RX7800XT ---> Currently a 9070XT From what i can recall when i had my 4070S I definitely had no hard cap on my FPS in these games prior. I can literally play every other game higher than this cap with no issues and its exclusively on these titles.

I use a Display Port cable for my GPU so its not a HDMI issue. Ive also changed Proton versions (Official and GE) My current distro is Nobara 43 so i cant change to x11 (if that was the problem to test) so i am on Wayland since x11 is unsupported. I also dont use MangoHud/Goverlay. Also regardless if i turn off vsync or uncap the fps it still wont go over this 120fps cap.

Its not like this a problem by any means is just odd that this specifically only happens in less than a handful of titles. Plus this is a new pc so id like the extra frames lol.

1440p 240hz Monitor

OS: Nobara Linux 43 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition)

KERNEL: 6.18.7-200.nobara.fc43.x86_64

I have a dual boot system because a lot of my games require Windows to run properly. My system has 3 SSD drives where game installs are stored, and I initially pointed Steam at them on both Windows and Linux so they could share storage. Now I'm trying to remove those library folders from Steam on the Linux side. I'd like to try running the native Linux versions of some games for better compatibility, plus I suspect running the game installs from NTFS drives on Linux may be causing some issues. If I try to install Linux versions with a Windows version detected, Steam removes the Windows version to install the Linux version. Obviously this breaks any mods I've installed.

One would think the solution would be to stop sharing library folders between Steam installations, but Linux Steam WON'T let me remove them. I tried to go into Preferences --> Storage, select the library folder and choose Remove Library from the 3-dot menu. A few seconds later it automatically adds it back. I've tried deleting libraryfolders.vdf from ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps but this doesn't seem to make any difference either. As soon as Steam is started it just adds the folders back again.

How do I get my two Steam installs to stop loving each other and get a damn divorce? Unlike my parents, they seem determined to spend a lifetime living together in the same install folders.

Brothers, I have a problem with my Nobara Linux system. The system is reading and playing sound, but physically there's no sound. It's as if the system has lost its connection to the hardware, and all I hear is a popping sound from the speakers. I've tried installing drivers and rebooting, but nothing has worked, and I don't understand what the problem is. Why can't I hear the audio in the videos? My system version is Nobara KDE. I hope you can help me.

Hi all, would love some help here. Currently having issues while trying to play Need For Speed World via Lutris. Been troubleshooting for months.

I've followed the instructions on the installation page to a tee and have tried various methods to negate the issue (multiple reinstalls, different Wine configs) but it seems that every time I launch the game, I see the splash screen for 1-2 secs then get hit with a fatal error no matter what I do.

I've also tried other stuff like installing dinput8.dll & vcrun2022 via winetricks and copying over my game files that do work from my Windows PC to see if that fixes anything, I'm just unsure as to what's causing it. Verifying the game files constantly doesn't seem to do much either.

I'm pretty new to Linux so forgive me if my terminology is wrong. I'm trying to run this on a GPD Win 4 with Bazzite if that helps, I will also link a gdrive folder (if allowed!) below with my crash dump files and such. If there is a better place to post for help, kindly direct me there also. Thanks!

Hi, I recently switched to Linux (Linux Mint), and I was developing a game on Roblox Studio. So, I searched an alternative way to download and found Vinegar. I downloaded it but doesn't run completely, because my GPU Vulkan support is 1.2, and in Vinegar the minimum is 1.3

There are any alternative solution for this, without changing my GPU?

im running into a persistent issue trying to play Epic Seven on my system(PopOs). Despite using the same XIGNCODE3 anti-cheat as other games that work fine, this particular title refuses to launch. I consistently get blocked by the anti-cheat software.

Here's what I've tried so far:

• Running it through Bottles using the GE-Proton 10-29 compatibility tool.
• Attempting a launch via standard Wine.
• Install and launch as a non-steam game

Unfortunately, all efforts end with the same error. Has anyone else encountered this specific problem with Epic Seven and found a working solution?

Should I install Steam (I don't have Steam installed, as, well, I don't use it at all tbh), or change a setting in Bottles? I'm kinda confused. Thanks in advance to anyone wishing to help

I dualboot between windows (11) and mint. I have HK on Steam and the game ran just fine without any issue on windows. Here though, it has screen tearing. I tried various combinations of fullscreen, vsync and framecap options, but nothing fixed it (vsync only added input delay). I have a gtx 1650 4gb and a ryzen 5700x.

CPU: Intel i7 14700k

GPU: AMD 7900XT

RAM: 32GB@6400MT/s

OS: Fedora 43 Desktop Edition KDE Plasma 6.5.5 and Wayland

Proton: GE-Proton10-25-LMU-hid_fixes

Launch options: PROTON_USE_EAC_LINUX=1 PROTON_USE_WAYLAND=1 %command%

Now to the issue, game will load and I will get into a race or practice it runs flawlessly no stuttering or anything odd getting 144FPS, but as the tittle says after 15-20 minutes on the dot the game will hang. By hang I mean the FPS will drop to 0 the whole PC experiences freeze like behaviour it will react to mouse and I can see the pointer move, but if I click anything it will not react I can alt+f4 to quit the game and it will quit and PC is back to normal or after about 5 minutes it will act as nothing happened game will be back to normal FPS back. Obviously I will have my car crashed into wall and ruined my race, but I mostly don't want to ruin other peoples races online and I would like to race online. I don't run any telemetry or simhub that might impact performance. On Windows it works flawlessly but I'm trying my best to migrate away. I tried searching for anybody with similar issues but most are just loading issues that are resolved by the custom proton version. If anybody can suggest some troubleshooting steps I would appreciate the help. I'm fairly new to gaming on linux.

So...

I have Chrono Trigger on Steam. Installed and my keys simply don't work inside the game.

Only keys working are W,A,S,D which are the directionals. But nothing else works. Can't select anything, can't open any settings. Basically i can't play.

Reinstalled the game to check if could fix something, but nothing happened.

Anyone have idea how can i repair? I checked the Discussion session on steam, but there's no one with linux problems.

Hi all!

Issue: Playing The Witcher 3, installed via steam on Nobara and SteamOS. The game freezes at random times with audio playing in the background. This issue started happening around 2 weeks ago.

There is no particular way of replicating it, as it happens randomly, after 15 minutes into the session or even 90 minutes. No particular trigger as well, happened while dismounting the horse, while exiting the map, walking around slowly, running, etc.

I have mods installed, 3 in total, but those are not the issue, as i deleted everything and reinstalled the game fresh, even deleting before reinstall the steam cloud data and the issue still happens.

Specs - PC :

AMD 9070XT 16GB GPU

AMD 7800x3d CPU

Nobara linux

Game runs with Proton GE latest. - tried with other Proton versions, even native, same type of freeze.

DX12 - Ray tracing on, RT on performance and ultra settings

SteamDeck - Proton Experimental

DX12 - Medium settings

As the issue is on both devices i suspect it may be something with the latest drivers? As the issue was not present prior to 2 weeks ago.

I have isolated the game on steamdeck by deleting all local files and config files, disabling steam cloud, and re installed fresh to make sure there isn t any leftovers from the mod or game, so i can have a clean slate. Also freezes from time to time. Just the same as on the pc.

Did anyone experience something like this, and if yes how did you solve it?

or, does anyone know what might be the issue?

This is so frustrating as it is definitely something that is shared between devices, probably latest drivers?

Thank you for any help!

Hey! I'm new to linux, and I was trying to search for a good way to display discord rich presence?
Isn't working natively for me, everything else works just fine and i haven't had any issues so far, the only thing that I would like to see if it's possible to have good discord rich presence.

Hello, I am aware many have had the same issue, but nobody seems to have found a proper solution yet and it's getting a bit frustrating, so I'll share my experience too.

I am using Mint and have not had any networking issues in any other proton games I've played (including the old Helldivers). In HD2 specifically however, like many people, I cannot connect to game servers. Stuck on establishing up-link when joining friends, quick-play won't work either, etc. I do not have a firewall enabled, I do have IPv6 disabled (shouldn't matter honestly). I also tried using Proton Experimental like many have suggested, all the versions I've tried seem to run exactly the same, spare for some irrelevant fullscreen mode jank.

It seems like this is a recurring issue for many linux users, including me. If you're wondering, I did play the game a bit on Win11 before switching to Mint, and it worked fine there. I could obviously just dual-boot back onto Win11 but I really really despise that system, so I would greatly appreciate it if someone could somehow find a universal solution to the problem.

Thanks in advance for any support!

Hey there,

just a question. Has anyone tried to run a Nostale p server under linux with lutris. I never really tried lutris for now. Using Linux now just for a year. And i thought maybe getting some old childhood feelings back playing nostale. But with a child i dont have much time to grind. So a pserver would be nice. Anyone can share experience?

I want to switch over to Linux because I hate windows so much I play SWTOR mainly but I'm autistic and most desktop environments cause genuine sensory overload/meltdowns for me.

What doesn't work:

Windows (corporate UI triggers me, also spyware)

KDE (too complex/overwhelming)

GNOME (can't theme, libadwaita)

What I need:

Clean, minimal UI

Customizable appearance

NOT corporate-looking

Works with NVIDIA RTX 4060

Can run SWTOR

Hardware:

RTX 4060 (can't afford AMD replacement)

16GB RAM

NVMe drives

I've tried Mint, Fedora, and others. Everything either breaks, looks wrong, or causes sensory issues.

Has anyone else dealt with this? What desktop environment/distro actually works for autistic sensory needs while gaming?

Not looking for "just deal with it" - this is just a genuine accessibility question.
