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.

I have recently changed from Windows to Linux, and in Geometry Dash, the physics feel like the 60Hz one, even though my monitor is 144 and the game is running at 240 FPS. Also the game lags every time I die and the Level Editor takes around 15 seconds to open. Is there any way to fix this?

I did some research and fixed it, by changing renderer to Vulkan (adding this code to Code Block aka gear icon in Vinegar app)

[studio]

renderer = "Vulkan"

Unfortunately, when i drag widgets or touch most of UI,it would flash or flicker and having buggy UI, I can't find out how to fix this.

In most fps games, its standard to keep console players and pc players isolated. Not all the time, but most of the time. This is done, because it is generally easier to aim with a mouse instead of controller which creates an unfair advantage.

So since linux currently doesn't meet the standards for kernel level anticheat, and a majority of people don't want kernel anticheat anyways due to security concerns. Why don't developers for these kinds of games just meet us in the middle; Allow people on linux to play with the condition that the linux player base is strictly separated from players on mainstream OSes?

However isolated is up to the developer. It could mean separate lobbies all the way to player stats, rank, or separate accounts. There's not much I can say on this.

Pros

• This has already been done (example: console players only being matched with console)
• Its way cheaper than developing a kernel just for supporting anticheat.
• All they have to do is reallocate a small amount of their servers just to support linux.
• Game studios will be able to slightly increase their profit margins.
• Competitive gamers on other OSes will not be affected by linux cheating.
• No invasive kernel anticheat. This will satisfy security concerns.
• People who play these games might consider linux as a viable alternative
• It will be a massive qol improvement for gamers already on linux

Cons

• At first, lobbies for linux will be very empty.
• People might not be able to play with friends. There is leeway for implementing crossplay, but very much a deal breaker for most people.
• With weaker anticheat, people on linux will have to deal with more cheaters.
• Profit incentive might not be worth it for game studios. Devs will have to spend time fixing linux related bugs.

This isn't a perfect solution, but its at least better than having nothing. What do you think?

Hello

Recently i bought star sector and I've been trying to play it on Ubuntu but i haven't had any luck. I installed through Lutris since it had some installers there, but when I try to run it, the game goes to the start window. However, as soon as I try to start the game, the game just crashes. Looking into the game files, I saw that the game is crashing due to an error of drivers.

#

# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

# The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code.

#

I've tried to look for a fix for this error. The closest I got was this thread on the game forum, but the fix that appears to be changing "GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=0". However, I don't know how to change this nor if it's the best fix. By any chance, does anyone know the best fix for this?

Also assuming someone is going to ask, i tried to install start sector through wine and exe, but it also crashed so im assuming some bigger issue

I installed it via Heroic Games Launcher and I tried running it using different versions of Proton and Wine. I get a black screen most of the time and there was this one occasion when it launched and went to the starting screen and it said "Press any button" but it became unresponsive. Also, when I try running it using Proton, it starts the app but shuts down by itself after a while. This is very surprising considering that RL is a platinum rated game on ProtonDB. Any help is appreciated.

This year I decided that my new build would exclusively run off of Linux so that I could finally have full control of my computer again, and I have so very little complaints. Gaming on Linux is nearly their and for me is 99% perfect. Can't wait for this to be the gold standard it should be.

I'm using GNOME 48 in Bazzite 42. I was able to kind of get Hell divers II HDR working, but the colors were all washed out. I kept having a weird issue with gamescope where the game would open and I would hear it, but there were two gamescope windows open and I couldn't maximize either of them.

I just got a laptop today and I installed Garuda dragonized gaming edition on it thinking it was gonna make my life easier

Well my Genshin Impact just does not want to work properly.

I use GE-Proton 9-26 and it launches and plays properly... However after I quit the game and try to launch again it doesn't work and throws this error message.

The only way to fix it and get it to launch again is to delete the Genshin prefix folder & let heroic readd it & Genshin to fix it's files

However this makes it so that:

1. I cannot change Genshin settings and motion blur is shit
2. I have to do this every time I just want to chill with Genshin

I don't know if this issue is just heroic launcher specific or not but doesn't seem to be cuz on lutris it just refuses to start for me
