Hello so I wanna install a virtual machine on my pc because I am so tired of all these gaming companies wanting to have a kernel level access on my pc like gta , destiny, valorant, LoL. So how do I set up a vm and run these games on it? Or anything similar to vm that protects me from these spywares

I'm on archlinux, trying to play Skyrim, which i have on steam. The game runs perfectly, until it just freezes (which might happen after 30 minutes of playing or 30 seconds, it really is random) and I have to stop it and restart in steam. I also use Mod Organizer 2, which I installed with mo2-linux-installer or something, but I haven't installed any mods yet (except for SSE Engine Fixes and Address Library) and anyways, I've always had this problem, way long before installing MO2. I had the very same problem with Ultrakill and simply using gamescope fixed everything, but it didn't with Skyrim, in fact, I feel like with gamescope Skyrim freezes even faster than without it. Installing SSE Engine Fixes didn't appear to help, but perhaps I messed up the installation, I will double check if the mod is active or something later. At the moment, I am using Proton 9.0, because this is the recommended version for MO2, but I have tried practically every version of Proton before and none could fix the problem. I really tried everything, please, I need any help. I've already done post on this issue, but haven't got any proper help.

My specifications:

GPU: nvidia GTX 1050 4gb (and I use proprietary drivers)

CPU: Intel Core i3 8300H

RAM: 16 gb

Archlinux

i3wm

Right now I have the following setup:

• Steam - For Steam games, obviously
• Heroic Games Launcher - For GoG and Epic
• Lutris - Other Windows games such as CD AoE2

I am searching for a launcher for itch.io games.

For now I have found their own itch.io app and GameHub. Anyone has any experiences with those two, or maybe other launchers that support itch,io?

So, this has been a difficult process for me to figure out, but i finally got the pc version of USM running on Arch, with widescreen and 60fps as well as DXVK. It wasn't exactly simple, but here's how i did it:

REQUIRED DOWNLOADS:

Steam (obviously)

The latest proton beta

Protontricks (Key here for not ripping your damn hair out adding non-steam games over and over)

A copy of Ultimate Spider-Man obtained however you got it idc (I cannot link anything, but since the game is out of print now, google is your friend)

The USM Widescreen patch (available here)

DXVK (available here)

GamePad Phoenix (available here)

INSTRUCTIONS [Do this in Desktop mode if ur on Deck]:

1. Extract/Install Ultimate Spider-Man to the folder of your choosing

(if you are using an installer, you can extract the installer files into a random folder then add it as a non-steam game and run it using the latest proton beta- then install it to the folder of your choice)

2. After extraction/installation, add the newly created USM.exe as a non-steam game and set the proton version to the latest beta (at the time of writing this, Proton 10.0-1 Beta), NOT Proton Experimental (i had issues getting it to run with it).

3. Enable Steam Input if your using something like a DualSense or DualShock 4 (you may have to on Deck but i am not sure since i don't have one). Run the game once and then close it.

4. Go into the folder you installed and extract the widescreen fix as well as GamepadPhoenix zip files into the root directory. Do the same with the DXVK tarball, just navigate to where d3d9.dll is and extract it into the folder

5. Open Kate or the text editor of your choice and create a file in the game's root directory called wndmode.ini, then paste the following lines into the file and save (adjust as you see fit):

[WINDOWMODE]

UseWindowMode=1

UseGDI=1

UseDirect3D=1

UseDirectInput=0

UseDirectDraw=0

UseDDrawColorEmulate=0

UseDDrawFlipBlt=0

UseDDrawColorConvert=0

UseDDrawPrimaryBlt=0

UseDDrawAutoBlt=0

UseDDrawEmulate=0

UseDDrawPrimaryLost=0

UseCursorMsg=0

UseCursorSet=0

UseCursorGet=0

UseSpeedHack=0

SpeedHackMultiple=10

UseBackgroundResize=0

UseForegroundControl=0

UseFGCGetActiveWindow=0

UseFGCGetForegroundWindow=0

UseFGCFixedWindowPosition=0

EnableExtraKey=0

ShowFps=0

UseCursorClip=0

UseBackgroundPriority=0

DDrawBltWait=-1

Border=0

6. Go into the newly created "Scripts" folder and open "UltimateSpiderMan.WidescreenFix.ini" using kate, then edit the line "FixHUD" to be set to 0 and then save.

7. Go back to the root directory and right click on GamepadPhoenix, and run it using Protontricks. Navigate to the non steam shortcut you set for Ultimate Spider-Man, click on it and run it.

8. Map each button and axis on your control based on the diagram and test if everything works. then navigate to the "Launch Game" tab and hit "New".

Click the "Select Game EXE" button and navigate to the folder you put the USM.exe file.

Set the name to "Ultimate Spider-Man" and under options, go ahead and check the option "DirectInput: Map triggers to buttons instead of Analog Axis"

Now hit the "Save" button and then the Launch button to test if it works, you will know you got everything working when you enter Settings > Controller Settings> Advanced Options and the gamepad you see reads "PhoenixPad 1" instead of "Xbox (Controller for 360)"

Now, using the 3rd row of buttons, map your controls according to this guide:

https://preview.redd.it/a4izdwkg889f1.png?width=1100&format=png&auto=webp&s=914e3ab4d2a8e12805e53227886aa1b0f1ceb1d1

Now, open the first mission and test if all your controls work. (You can get as far as the first web swinging segment if you wanna be sure). Now, close the game as well as GamePad Phoenix.

9. Go to the launch options for the game in Steam, and paste in these exact launch options:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES='dsound.dll=n,b;d3d9.dll=n,b' bash -c 'exec "${@/USM.exe/GamepadPhoenix.exe}" "Ultimate Spider-Man"' -- %command%

10. Launch the game from Steam, and you are done!

DOWNSIDES:

• You will have to use use steam to fully close out the game if you are on Steam Deck. Not a dealbreaker but not ideal (I don't have one to test it with so let me know of any issues and i will update this guide).
• If you're on desktop linux, you can probably just right click the tray icon and close GamePad Phoenix. (I'm on Hyprland Desktop Environment so i have to use Steam to close it the same as people on Deck likely will)
• There are still graphical z-fighting issues- those will likely never be solved until someone develops an Open source engine to run the game (Similar to OpenGOAL or OpenMW)

Of course, if you find any issues while following this guide, comment below and i will happily provide support and update this guide as needed. Cheers!

Hi! I’m relatively new to Linux (installed around 2 Weeks ago) and recently installed GTA V enhanced. The game starts and runs excellent performance wise but the audio mainly plays through the left on my headphones. I’m very confused as to why this is happening. I have been searching both Protondb and the regular ole internet for any sort of fixes but I have found nothing. I’m at my wits ends now and am posting this here as a last resort as I just want to replay one of my favorite story modes. I’m running Arch Linux with KDE plasma 6 and my specs are Amd Ryzen 5 7600 with a RX 7800XT. Any information is greatly appreciated thank you!

before people say to disable it to save disk space i actually get around a 10-20 fps improvement with it enabled i just dont want steam to constantly download shaders over on top of each other constantly....

windows 10 will have no more forced updates or anything and it can run on 512mb ram and with some luck even 256mb despite minimum requirements saying 2gb ram and you can use apps like livelywallpaper or rainmeter to make it look better and it has compatability for .exe files so u can run more games that dont work on stuff like wine or whatever it seems like what i need but better but idk if i should switch to it, i mean linux is great but for projects like literally trying to run an os on a toaster but for gaming or other stuff i think windows 10 is great

For some reason when I first tried installing it, the installer kept crashing, then I tried OEM, and then the normal install, it worked

Running on 5060 ti with 570 drivers.

Game starts and runs well first time. It takes a while for startup screen to actually play but afterward the game runs well with perhaps slight delay in loading screens.

I had one out of video ram error and crash.

However, consecutive runs fail to start. I need a reboot to play.

Any ideas?

I have an Nvidia GT 730 2GB DDR3 (Kepler) with the 470 drivers, which I'm well aware is a legacy driver. I was able to play some of my games on Windows but I can't with Linux. I want to play MGSV:TPP (Steam) and RDR (Lutris) but they just don't seem to work. Is there a work around this? Thanks!!

When playing CS2 on linux, if I use tab (seeing info/leaderboard) or switch player too often during observation the frames drop to 20s (average fos normally is 110, which is lower than windows but enough), but then goes up again if I press and hold tab/press esc(which also shows leaderboard).

Is this a new bug or a known one?

This screen comes out in several games in specific parts, sometimes in cinematics, sometimes just running the game, does anyone know why it is and how to fix it?

So if I install a Linux distro as dual boot, is there any way to share a game directory with Windows? Say Helldivers 2 on steam, can I keep it in a place that both Linux and windows can use so I don't have to double my storage utilization per game? How does that work?

I'm assuming if it isn't a native Linux game the game files are all the same and are just translated on the fly with Proton or how does that work from a file standpoint? Does proton translate everything and save it into files or only translate as the game is running?
