I've had the Dead Space Remake from 2023 on my wish list since it launched. Bought the game a week ago on Steam with a gift card.

For the life of me I cannot get it to launch. Click the play button, it turns green, then immediately goes back to the Play button again.

Fedora 42 KDE Latest nVidia drivers (akmod) RTX 4090 Proton Experimental, but also tried v9 and Hotfix.

So far all other games work as expected, this is the only one I cannot get working.

Proton DB has it listed as a Gold tier game, so it should just work. All recent reports show the game working for other people without any crazy extra steps.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey, new to gaming on Linux (but not Linux in general). I've got this issue where Monster Hunter Wilds freezes for about ~4 seconds (*just* the game, everything else is still running) and then continues on. It happens at least once per session - it was much worse when I was on Proton 9.0-4. I played around with using experimental, hotfix, and the 10.0 beta, but they were all about the same with 1 freeze per session. Normally I'd throw up my hands and say it is what it is, but if I'm in multiplayer these freezes make me get kicked out of the session, so it's kind of annoying. I've had this machine running Windows (till about 2 days ago) and encountered no issues, so I'm pretty certain it's not my hardware. People on protonDB also seem to have got it working with very similar hardware.

I'm running Hyprland with Arch, 7800XT with a 5700x3D. Game's on an SSD. I'm using mesa 25.0.5 installed via pacman. On Arch 6.14.4. Game-wise, I do have reframework installed. Any tips to troubleshoot would be appreciated!

Hey,

I’ve been trying to mod pathfinder wrath of the righteous, and for this I need to run an application in the context of a proton prefixes created by steam.

I tried Lutris and bottles but I don’t seem to be able to figure out how to add an application to an existing prefix. Bottles supposedly can manage steam prefixes but I am not able to see them in bottles.

I know that I can add the mod app as a non steam game, but I don’t want to clutter the steam library with mod tools .

I want to get GTA V enhanced, but i don't know if it'll work for debian. do i just need to use proton and disable the overlay? or do i need to do something in the console command?

I've been trying to play the single-player campaign on GTAV Enhanced, but I can't seem to get past the Rockstar launcher. I always get this error:

https://preview.redd.it/huxzr9zgdxye1.png?width=1272&format=png&auto=webp&s=12b12c32ddab1423b28a9aa2558cbe067aaa71e8

Selecting Safe Mode does nothing, and neither does retry. I have gone through a few launch options, but I can't get even the launcher to load without some variation of "SteamDeck=1 %command%". I have also tried running with GE-Proton9-27, Proton Experimental, and Proton 9.0-4, but I get this same thing on all three versions. Additionally, I have tried installing using Lutris, but that yields this same result.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is there something obvious I am missing? Any advice would be helpful, since everything I am finding online is just some variation of what I have already done, or prevents even the launcher from starting.

Finding actual experience is pretty tough these days but here goes. I've got a 7090 XT on order (waiting for shipment) for £650. But I could cancel and buy a 5070ti.

I'm coming from a 1080ti which recently exploded. I had no serious issues with Nvidia. As much as we'd like them to do better with FOSS drivers, it worked well. I've heard a lot about AMD's improvements over the decades but haven't witnessed it.

I have a 144hz monitor with freesync that's worked well with Gsync on the 1080ti.

My use case is pretty typical. Gaming with a slither of transcoding (Plex) and ollama. I use Ubuntu and [at least immediately] that's non-negotiable. I think I'm okay with Kernel and Mesa PPAs.

Performance wise, my understanding is in raster they're about equal but the 5070ti pulls ahead when you factor in DLSS4 and RT. These aren't things I've used before so I don't know how much I'll miss them.

So honestly, what should I do here? Wait for my freedom warrior, or pay 10% more for the closed source monster I know?

A major day for Stellaris as the Stellaris: BioGenesis expansion has released, and the huge free overhaul patch 4.0 "Phoenix" has arrived. If you've been away a while, it looks like a great time to jump back in. This is probably one of the biggest updates to the game since release back in 2016.

I have some experience with Linux from my job (web dev) and tried it several times the past years – mostly Ubuntu – but had some bad experiences with hardware not getting recognized etc.

A few weeks ago I tested it again with openSUSE Tumbleweed (KDE) on my one year old high-end gaming PC and assumed I would need to tinker a lot with the "new" hardware. Well, it was smooth as butter. A research told me that I am lucky with AMD all over the place so it was kinda plug and play. Nvidia may be a different story.

And what Valve did with Proton ... I never imagined that I could play Windows games on Linux with almost BETTER performance than on Windows – without much hassle.

Then I booted Windows again because of disk space (just made a small partition to test Linux) and it didn't start. The game closed and took Steam with it, both programs where gone in a split second. On top of that Windows refused to search for anything via the task bar. WTF?!

So I made a restart, Windows made an update and that failed gloriously. Black screen, restart after an hour of nothing and BSOD. Like Windows would tell me "how dare you installing the penguin on MY machine".

Linux didn't start either after that shit show. I searched for one of the BSOD error messages and tried to unplug one RAM module. The system booted again, yay! I tested both modules another time and it worked.

I don't know what happened but it seems that Windows managed to corrupt the RAM somehow and I assume cutting the power (unplugging) solved the issue.

But that is not the end of the story. Now every second game I want to play on Windows refuses to open and mostly Steam dies with it. I tried everything the past weeks and am done with it.

Booted Linux again just to see if it was a hardware issue but nope ... All games that don't start on Windows run perfectly on Linux.

Scrap Windows. Hail the penguin.

But the next time, I choose another distro. I don't like that I cannot easily install deb packages on openSUSE from sources that are refusing to build their software for more than Debian-based distros. Not the fault of openSUSE, but I am lazy.
