Also that the game loadinf (the ps logo etc) loads at laughably bad frametime.

The ingame performance is actually okay. I'm getting somewhat around 70-80fps on rtx 4060. But the audio is weirdly choppy that it's unplayable. As if every 300ms its disappearingg giving a very unpleasant experience.

Tried Proton ge Proton experimental (this one directly loads in the game menu skipping the awfully laggy intro, still has the audio issues tho)

One of my gripes with my original 8BitDo Ultimate 2.4G Controller is that Steam Input cannot see the additional buttons on the back, but it seems that with the latest firmware updates to the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 that 8BitDo are solving the situation.

Sonic Rumble from SEGA seems to be their answer to a Fall Guys-like multiplayer party game, it looks like it could be good fun but the global release has now been indefinitely delayed.

Hey all, just wanted to share my experience as a new convert to Linux gaming. I've got Linux experience from work and running servers at home, but haven't touched Linux with a GUI for a looong time. I couldn't game using it so it was always basically a no-go as a daily driver and I stuck with Windows.

For the past few months, my laptop started to BSOD constantly. Like, leave it on for 5 minutes and it BSOD. The strange thing was that it didn't happen if I was playing World of Warcraft. I could play for hours straight with no issue, but if I closed it, 5-10 minutes later it would BSOD. If I tabbed out for too long it would BSOD as well, and also even if I had the game open but went AFK I would come back and there would be a BSOD. But when I was actually playing? Never a problem.

Anyway, I checked event viewer, had some errors referencing ntfs so I ran chkdsk on both my SSDs and it came back clean. I also ran Windows Memory Diagnostic which came back clean. I tried swapping around the memory, trying each of the two in each slot while the other one was not present - no change. I did the same with the SSDs, no change.

So, I decided that since I wanted to dual boot Linux anyway, it would be a perfect time to start fresh with Windows and set it up to dual boot Ubuntu. I backed up my important data (by playing WoW for several hours straight), wiped the drive, and began the install. I got 6% in and it BSOD. Tried again, I got to about 12% and it BSOD again. Tried a multitude of things such as removing each SSD and disabling each port one at a time. Eventually I thought maybe it has something to do with using the 3070ti and that's why it works with WoW running, so I hopped into the BIOS and switched it to only use the discrete GPU. I got to 50% before it BSOD this time which was probably the most disappointing because I really thought I'd fixed it.

At this point, I gave up. It seemed like a hardware issue, but it was eating away at me that it ran fine with WoW open. I decided as a last-ditch effort, I'd just scrap the Windows partition and go all in on Linux. I imaged Ubuntu Desktop on to a flash drive, and 20-30 minutes later I had Ubuntu up and running. I figured I probably can't play many games, but at least I can browse the web and whatnot.

I'd heard that Steam had a pretty good selection of games that run on Linux though, so I decided to take a peak at my library and see how many games were supported on Linux. And well.. Not many. I was pretty disappointed but saw that there was a newer version of GTA V which supports Linux and I could copy my legacy GTA V character to, so I grabbed that.

I knew Wine existed and would allow me to play games that weren't necessarily supported on Linux, so I started looking into running games without official Linux support. I was particularly interested in R.E.P.O. because I have plans to play with friends this weekend, and was sad to see that it didn't have an official Linux client. When googling how to run it though, I found an article saying that you could run R.E.P.O. on Linux. I poked around in Steam and found the compatibility settings which I enabled and I was then able to install and play R.E.P.O. as if I was on Windows. I couldn't believe that this was just built into Steam and how easy it was.

Next was WoW, which obviously isn't on Steam. I searched around for the best way to install/run it on Linux and found Lutris. A few clicks later I had the Battle.net launcher installed and the WoW client shortly after. Started it up, and it runs just as good as it did on Windows.

My laptop has been running well over 24 hours at this point without a single issue, and no longer needs to have WoW open constantly. Gaming on Linux just saved me like $2,000 that I would have had to spend on a new laptop because Windows just doesn't want to run for some reason.

I'm sure it only gets better from here. I don't see myself ever going back to Windows.

I'm using pop!_OS and Steam to launch The Finals. My laptop specs are 32GB DRR4-3200Mhz, 512GB NVME, RTX 2050 laptop. I was using Windows 11 but then I decided to switch to Linux. The experience has been great so far except when I try to launch the The Finals. I've tried using Proton Hotfix, Proton Experimental and other Proton versions. I've tried entering launch options such as 'PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 gamemoderun %command% -dx11. None of them seem to work. When I try use YT tutorials all of them are outdated and I'm not sure how I can get The Finals working.

Hello everyone,
I know that game modding on Linux might be challanging, but was wondering if anyone got Nexus Collections working? Is it even properly possible?

Hi,I've trying so much to play uncharted 4 on fedora 41 using steam,but it's not loading at all. It will show running at first whenever I click play and then it stopped. I tried different proton versions and it's still the same issue. I even tried lutris and still the same issue. Can anyone help?

Hello, this is my first week using Linux (Fedora 42 KDE) and I grabbed one of the GOG Star Wars deals. I'm trying to run the game using Lutris and while it does launch and work, I get a black screen unless there is something happening on screen like when I use Alt+F3 to show the window options or when I shake my mouse and it becomes big in order to easily find it. I've read this could be a Discord/Steam overlay issue but this is happening even though neither of those programs are opened... do you guys know why the game is reacting like this?

What I did: Installed and ran the game using Lutris 0.5.19, using Wine ge-8-26-x86_64 (default) on Fedora 42 KDE
How have I tried to troubleshoot: I made sure both discord and steam were off; I tried using the windowed (virtual desktop) option but apparently that is no longer supported; I tried lowering the DXKV version to v1.7.1L

tl;dr: Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005) runs fine but I see a black screen unless there are OS elements on screen like the volume indicator, the window options menu, or the cursor being shaken.

Hi, as in title,

Expedition 33 seems to works without issues gameplay wise, but i'm not sure why, my version lacks FSR (only XESS is avaliable).

I tried changing proton version between suggested, hotfix, experimental and GE.

No luck in any of those, I also tried using somne of the DLSS enabler mods like:

https://www.nexusmods.com/clairobscurexpedition33/mods/5

but after installing those, i'm only getting black screen at launch.

Is there something wrong on my part? On protondb i don't see such issues, and it looks like DLSS/FSR works for other people.

my specs:

Os: Arch

Kernel: 6.14.4-zen

mesa: 25.0.4

GPU: RX6900xt

CPU: Ryzen 7 5700x

RAM: 32GB 3600MHz

is there anything that im missing?

I have just switched to linux again yesterday and have solved the issue of the refresh rate not sticking after a restart. I have a capture card I use for my ps5 with the output connected to the same monitor. Since that's the case I have to switch inputs between the 2.

On windows besides a little loading lag, it kept the refresh rate at 144, but on linux its reverts back to 60 until I change it. The resolution stays at 1440p without issue.

Any help would appreciated. Can provide additional information if asked.

Specs: ●Linux Mint running xfce with lightdm (cinnamon is installed but not used) ●i5-9300H ●GTX 1650 Max Q ●Is a Laptop but has no internal display ●External display running on the GTX 1650

Hi, I am going absolutely mad trying to figure this out.

I'm trying to use Steam Rom Manager to add some emulators/roms to my steam library, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it. I even went to my Steam Deck and tried copying the exact same commands used there (which work), but on my Fedora KDE it just wont work.

I'll use Duckstation as an example.

For "Target" I did: usr/bin/flatpak

then for "Start in" I did: usr/bin

Now the important part should be the "Launch Options", but nope. It won't work: "run" "--branch=stable" "--arch=x86_64" "--command=duckstation-qt" "--file-forwarding" "org.duckstation.DuckStation" "@@" "@@"

Whenever I click play it just runs for a second and nothing happens

help me. PLEASE

I am going crazy

Out of nowhere my FPS in GTA 4 has been cut in half or more. I've yet to solve it and am wondering if anyone else has any other troubleshooting ideas?

System Info

OS: EndeavourOS Linux x86_64 Kernel: 6.14.3-arch1-1 Uptime: 5 mins Packages: 1500 (pacman) Shell: bash 5.2.37 Resolution: 3840x2160 DE: Plasma 6.3.4 (Wayland) WM: kwin Theme: Breeze-Dark [GTK2], Breeze [GTK3] Icons: breeze-dark [GTK2/3] Terminal: tmux CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D (16) @ 4.552GHz GPU: AMD ATI RX 9070/9070 XT Memory: 4921MiB / 31992MiB

I've tried the following

• Kernel Versions: 6.14.3 and 6.14.4
• Mesa: 25.0.4 and 25.1.0-git
• Proton 9.0-4, GE9-24, 10.0-1 (also deleted wine prefix when swapping proton versions)
• Completely uninstalling/deleting game and re-downloading
• With and without FusionFix
• With and without gamemode

Launch Commands

• WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" mangohud gamemoderun %command% -nomemrestrict -norestrictions -percentvidmem 100 -availablevidmem 16384
• WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" mangohud gamemoderun %command%
• WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" mangohud %command%

Both my GPU and CPU are boosting to expected speed, but something I've noticed since this started happening my GPU is only using 2/3 of power budget.

I've only been gaming on linux for probably 3 months now (main desktop linux for 9 months) so am wondering if there is any other variables/troubleshooting steps I'm possibly missing?

Hello and sorry for this post, but I have no idea where I shpuld actually ask this, but since I'm on Linux (endeavourOS) and this only happens while gaming, I thought I'd starr out here.

My Problem is that while playing some games, I get a strange Soundinterference ? through speakers and also through my headphones. The first time it happened, I also recorded with OBS, but the sound didn't come out in the recording. Also the pattern of the sound is mostly similar when it happens. I have absolutely no idea where to start to dig deeper on how to gind out what is happening or how to fix it.

So far it happened while playing ETS2, ATS and Horizon 4, mostly in the first ~30 minutes of playing. In other games I didn't experience it yet.

Any tips or ideas on what to do? I'm totally lost tbh. And again sorry if this subreddit is the wrong place.
