Hi there,

Yesterday, I finally got around to using Valve's container runtime environment (sniper) to wrap my game for use on Steam. I initially had the game on Steam as a naked build (no runtime wrapper) but that was stupid and had all kinds of problems (it was easy to depend on a library that was only available on my machine).

I think the sniper build works solidly but I'd love for people to test it out.

Please note:

1. This is a playtest - not a final game. I'm of course always looking for feedback on everything about the game but this is primarily a "does it even run?" situation.
2. The game is barely optimized at this point but it should run smoothly neverless. If it does lag, please let me know.
3. The game is meant for desktop/laptop play (mouse+keyboard). This is not a SteamDeck game, unfortunately (though it might run there, idk).

P.S.: I also want to release on itch.io at some point but I don't know how people prefer their Linux games there (if itch is even a popular option for Linux gaming?). I can of course provide the naked build but I fear that it'll just crash on many machines (like the prior Steam builds did).

P.P.S.: I'm not using a popular game engine like Godot or Unity or Unreal. On one hand, this is great & by design because my game has a unique set of requirements. On the other hand, I don't get some of the table stakes feature that other games get. Please be gentle.

Hello,

My HTPC has a GTX2070 and I will switch to a 9070XT in a few days.

The os is Bazzite with the bazzite-deck-nvidia image.

Will I HAVE TO reinstall OS from scratch ? And if not, SHOULD I reinstall from scratch ?

Thanks !

Hello all,

I can't seem to get Fallout to launch properly with script extender while using Limo as my mod manager. I tried installing it like wiki suggests (granted this is SkyrimSE but theoretically same rules should apply to F04), tried running from steam directly using this command, bash -c 'exec "${@/Fallout4.exe/Fallout4/f4se_loader.exe}"' , borrowed from a similar command i used for Oblivion remastered and its script extender. I even tried adding f4se_loader.exe as a non-steam game. all the same result, ill see a black window pop up, go to full screen, then crashes. All of this was tried using last gen f4se and downgraded FO4. I had Address Library and BASS installed via limo and made sure they were deployed. Help is appreciated.

Hi everybody! I got a problem and don't know how to overcome it. I have recently installed Star Wars Battlefront II through Steam and can't get it run properly.

Previous experience: I first used LMDE 6 and, last week, changed to Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.1. In LMDE, i also installed the game and got an issue (it didn't even start at all then), BUT got to play Jedi Fallen Order with any problem.

As far as I've researched, the problem arise from EA App, which runs through Steam in the way I installed the game. I tried installing EA App through Lutris and run it from there, then search for game files; it didn't work. At least, Steam's EA recognize that the game is installed.

Do you have any idea of what can I do?

Some useful information:

_ NVidia drivers: 570.133.07

_ Proton versions that make the EA App launch for me: Experimental and GE 10-4

_ I have Steam installed in my main SSD and the games are stored in another SSD.

Any other information you need, tell me and I'll provide it.

Thanks beforehand for your answers!

Hey all, I recently made the switch to Linux and so far so good. However, I am having a really weird issue with both Diablo 2 resurrected and Titan Quest running in proton where the cursor flickers like mad when using a controller. I have tried different proton settings, tried different graphics drivers and I can't seem to fix this. Any insight from more knowledgeable people would be greatly appreciated!

Here's the link to the mod in case people don't know what the hell I'm talking about: https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption/mods/219

So anyway, I've been trying to get the mod to work, but the installer just says that it can't find the game files. The installer is a bat file, which I was under the impression worked with Wine for the most part. The bat file does start up if you run it in a Windows CMD with Wine, but even if the files are put where they're supposed to, it complains that it can't find the game files.

The odd thing is that I swear I got the mod to install on Linux a few months ago when it was version 2.8 (at least I think it was 2.8) but now that it's 3.0, it just refuses to find the game files.

I've looked into ways to translate the bat file into an sh file, but I am not a coder, so that is WAY beyond what I know how to do.

I highly doubt anyone will know how to help, but this is the only place I could think to ask, so I figured I might as well try my luck.

Thank you so much to anyone who even attempts to help me.

PS: I don't know if the "wine/proton" tag is right for this, but I really didn't want to use the "tech support wanted" tag, as I feel that should be reserved for things WAY more serious than this.

I own a 7900xt and iv always dealt with the fact that linux reports power differently for these cards compared to windows. Looking at benchmarks of the new 9070/9070xt i see that power is being reported the same. So its been fixed? any plans for RDNA3 or are we just the odd ducks with weird power reporting? My limit after unlocking lact is 333w (TDP) on a 7900xt and 290w before that. On windows with my cards +15 % power limit i can hit 390w (TBP). But performance ends up the same or better on Linux so i know its not under powered.

Hey there. My english is not the best so I apologise for that. I want to ask to you your help. I'm trying to play Ender Lilies (Steam Version) on My Fedora 42 machine. But the textures are not rendering propertly. If i run the game without any config launch command, it doesn't show the environment and only show the shadows of the characters. I tried to use

PROTON_USE_WINE3D=1,

and it almost fixed, but it doesn't show the rain at the start screen, and also the characters textures doesn't show properly, they look like in the image. Someone else got this issue? Any recommendations to fix it? For reference, my computer has an Intel i5 12gen and a Intel Iris Graphics integrated card. Thanks for you time :3

I have a question about installing games on linux. I didn't have any problems with installing it in a single disk, but now I have a combination of a SSD (where the OS is installed) and a HDD where I intend to install everything else.

The problem starts when I want to install a game. I tried bottles and works fine, until when I have to choose a disk, I know that it creates a C: on my SSD to install it, but I want to do the install on my HDD and I haven't been able to do it properly.

I might be forgetting something but I would love for someone to help me a bit and fix that.

Thank you for reading!!

I'm going to dual boot with fedora with the sole purpose of gaming but don't have much knowledge in this area; as of today, what's the most optimal open-source gaming distribution?

I don't play many online games, instead I just want to play some windows only offline games at high res and framerate. Things like Playdead's Inside, Little Nightmares, Hello Neighbor, etc
