Wine 10.10 is the latest development release of the Windows compatibility layer, which is a big part of Valve's Proton.

Helloooo! I'm going to be one of many who's gonna say that I'm trying out jumping ship from Windows to Linux. I'm not too green on Linux as I've used it for work but I've never really went using it as my gaming PC. I love what's been happening with the Steam Deck so decided to try it on my PC!

I'm running CachyOS as a distro and my hardware is a Ryzen 5800X with an RX6800. And I'm just enjoying trying to see what works and what doesn't. Noticing how frame gen is still, or it seems fresh on Linux.

Soo what I'm trying cause a friend wants me to try it is Throne and Liberty and that game has AMD frame gen. I noticed that on frame gen, cutscenes go crazy. Is this something that happens on other games, or is it just a Throne and Liberty thing? I tried different proton versions, and even tried Xwayland vs native Wayland. Would it be like even a DXVK thing?

Sorry for the questions! Just learning what makes what tick and where you would raise these issues. Cheers!

I'm running into a bit of a problem, i use CachyOS with GNOME as my DE and the no game icon problem really bothered me, so i went for a fix and got it working perfectly on my steam library, however i still needed to do the same for Heroic, with some tweaking thinga seemed work, but that's when i had another issue. See, proton tries to assign a gameID even when you're not running a Steam title and when it doesn't find one, it will assign a zero to it ( e.g. steam_app_0 ) , because of that, trying to change the icon will have an effect in every title that uses Proton ans isn't a official Steam game ( Like games from Epic Store or GOG ) , besides that they work just fine. With this out of the way i wanted to ask if someone knows how to change the appID or even how to make so that Proton doesn't try to assign it

Hey everyone!

I have recently installed kubuntu as dualboot and I've been trying to find out if I can switch over entirely. One problem that I run into is that piper or solaar can not identify my mouse. I am using a Logitech G502x wireless and a G815 wired keyboard.

temping@beastie:~$ lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0b05:1872 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. AURA LED Controller Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0b05:185c ASUSTek Computer, Inc. Bluetooth Radio Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:c33f Logitech, Inc. G815 Mechanical Keyboard Bus 003 Device 003: ID 1532:0565 Razer USA, Ltd Razer BlackShark V2 HS 2.4 Bus 003 Device 004: ID 046d:c547 Logitech, Inc. USB Receiver Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub temping@beastie:~$ ratbagctl list warbling-mara: Logitech G815 RGB MECHANICAL GAMING KEYBOARD

As you can see, the keyboard gets identified very easily, but the mouse only shows up as USB Receiver. When I connect the mouse via usb everything works fine! But then what's the point of using a wireless mouse then!

I have tried piper, solaar, and logid and all of them have the same issue. Please help me with an alternative so that I can change my mouse's settings while it is also untethered

we slightly push game devs to support linux as it is already gaining popularity with the steam deck bazzite etc its the perfect time to try to get game developers to support Linux natively who is with me? #LinuxGamingCompatibility post this anywhere you can we can get more native games let's do this

i was trying to uninstall some stuff to install cyberpunk and i quickly noticed that my free space wasn't increasing and i noticed soon after that, that my "non-steam" bar in steam storage settings was going up every time i uninstalled a game.

i have windows dual booted and i know for a fact in the first place at least my non steam was the partition i made for extra windows space, and now it's doing this. i have no clue what to do outside of checking windows to see where my stuff is going.

I am running Halo Infinite using GE-Proton10-3.
Also tried Proton9-4, Hotfix, Experimental, GE-Proton9-27, GE-Proton9-4.

And these are the launch commands:

gamemoderun VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_USE_EAC_LINUX=1 %command%

Multiplayer I am getting similar performance as I expect from Windows. However campaign the game only has half the performance I expected. Places where I am supposed to get 80-90fps I am getting only 55fps.
Also tried disabling resizable-BAR no luck.

I've gone through this sub-reddit with previous posts with issues with Halo Infinite.
I am curious if any new updates or solutions are there?

Specs:
Arch Linux 6.14.10 with KDE Plasma 6.3.5
Ryzen 7 5800x
32GB DDR4-3200
RTX3060 12G
MSI B550 Motherboard
Also the Game is running on NVMe SSD

Been using Bazzite for a few days now, I'm absolutely in love with KDEconnect. It's worked so much better than Windows Phone Link, and being able to control media from my smartwatch is just the cherry on top. Now to figure out how to connect my PC to my laptop with Gsconnect...

Im having a hard time figuring out how to allocate more of my ram as vram for my igpu. My current system has: 5500U with vega igpu, 20gb ram. I was hoping to get more than the default 512mb of vram, so if anyone knows how to increase that, it would be great :)

It took me a bit to figure out so I wanted to make a helpful post for anyone who might be using the Maxfit6 on a linux system!

The Problem: If you try to plugin your keyboard and use the web-app https://www.usevia.app/ - it won't authorize the device 😔. Even if you download the JSON file (aka the specification) that Fantech graciously provides you on their website and follow these steps - it won't work (P.S. I assume this works on Windows/Mac).

The Reason: Most Linux systems won't give the user access to hidraw/usb devices (i.e the keyboard). And so the browser won't be able to authorize/pair it.

The Solution: Luckily, there is a super help thread on the Archlinux forms! But here's a step-by-step:

1. Use lsusb command and note the vendorId/productId for the Maxfit6. It should be something like ID 36b0:3002 in the output.
2. ls -l /dev/hidraw* should list all the usb devices you have and their permissions. You gotta find which one number is the maxfit6
3. dmesg | grep -i hidraw command should list the devices names next to the hidraw numbers. Make note of which numbers
4. You can now modify the read/write permissions for the device using chmod a+rw /dev/hidraw# using the numbers you discovered from step 3. However, I do not recommend this personally. You'll have to do it every single time you want to modify your key-bindings & chmod is a high-risk command.
5. (optional/better): Create a udev rule for the device and add your user to it

Create a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ and specify the device using its product/vendor ID:

50-via-keyboard.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="36b0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3047", MODE="0666", GROUP="input"

Add your user to the group input. Reboot.

ls -l /dev/hidraw* should now list the devices with read/write

Have fun re-mapping your keys!

I've been trying to play tModLoader with my friend. He uses Windows 11, I use the latest version of Linux Mint. When I booted up the game and got into a world, he couldn't join, since steam said I was running Terraria instead of tModLoader.

The way tModLoader works is that it is a set of commands, and runs Terraria alongside it. Hence, Terraria and tModLoader have to run at the same time. When I used to use Windows, when my friends got on to tModLoader, it would say they were playing tModLoader (when the commands launch), then Terraria (when the game launches), then tModLoader again. I assume Linux skips over saying tModLoader again, so my friend can't join.

If anyone's experienced anything similar and fixed it, or has theories on how to fix it, please tell me. My friend has wanted me to play with him ever since I got my new PC.

Hi, About two weeks ago Sea of Thieves on Void Linux suddenly stopped working for me. There have been two reports on ProtonDB since then, and both of them report good results. When launching the game, the initial loading screen (a floating window) will appear. Then, after a much shorter time that usual, the window will disappear, and the game will crash. The game uses EasyAntiCheat, but I can more-or-less confirm that that is not the cause of the issue because Battlebit Remastered - which also uses EasyAntiCheat - still launches, however I am unable to test if online works due to that game being quite dead. Checking the Sea of Thieves launch logs, it contains the usual errors about a lack of NTLM and Kerberos support, and a a ulimit one (also quite common), but then the errors (from Wine) 7412.593:014c:0160:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded. 7412.593:014c:0160:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow L"The explorer process failed to start." This seems to suggest that I have missing drivers, but I have all of the Void Linux AMD GPU drivers installed. Online, it seems that this is sometimes a problem for non-SystemD users, however EloginD seems to fix this. I do have EloginD installed, however, and the only changes I have made to it are disabling all of the Handle* options in the config file, as I use ACPI to manage system sleep.

The final thing that I can think of is that it may have something to do with Flatpak - I am running Steam through Flatpak as EasyAntiCheat does not play well with Void's GLibc version, and there is one bad report of Sea of Thieves on Flatpak on ProtonDB from a few months ago, however there is a more recent successful report. Perhaps I have to give the Flatpak to EloginD somehow? I have no idea how to do that. I've also tried both reinstalling the game, as well as my whole system.

Thanks!

Basically see title. Are there any initiatives that are helping improve the anticheat situation? I have some ideas but I'm not a programmer so I could be completely wrong here.

1. Whitelisted kernal that gets compared at games run time using a digital signature?

2. Secureboot? Like what bf2042 is doing.

3. A foss Kernel module that can be linked with easy anticheat etc.

Again not a programmer so I have no idea if anything of these ideas are feasible or effective. For Linux gaming to have long term serviceability it needs to be harder to cheat on it then Windows while still adhering to the Linux way of doing things.

Malak on the title screen, player character, and party members all look like this. I have tried a dozen different proton versions, all of the ones that make it to the title screen have the same issue. Tried 7 or 8 different versions of luxtorpeda, the ones that make it to the title screen don't have this issue, but all were unplayable due to either not loading save files or steam input not working. It is running on an ROG Ally z1x running bazzite. I've already made all recommended changes to the swkotor.ini file. Been trying to fix this for about a week now and I'm completely stumped.

Hey folks,

I’m thinking of running Fortnite or LoL inside a Linux VM with PCI‑passthrough, but not 100% sure it’ll work. I knew that this was not a thing but just to be sure,I asked GPT if this was even possible, and it gave me that huge list of steps which didn’t sound crazy to me, but I really have no clue. I’ve heard somewhere that someone actually managed to play LoL in a VM (no idea if it was real or not). I checked with other AIs and they said similar things. Is this just AI nonsense, or if I follow those steps (or something like them) can I actually play? Maybe with some risk of a ban or something?( if this is full IA nonsense am sorry just sounded complicated enough that to me it seems that it could be viable

1. CPU & mobo: Intel CPU with VT‑d + board with good IOMMU groups (e.g. ASUS TUF B660/Z690 or MSI PRO B660M).
2. BIOS tweaks: Disable CSM, enable UEFI-only, “Above 4G decoding” and “Resizable BAR.”
3. Kernel args: intel_iommu=on iommu=pt
4. VFIO binding: Bind GPU + its audio to vfio-pci so the host can’t grab it.
5. VM setup: In virt-manager, pick OVMF (UEFI), VirtIO for disk/net, passthrough GPU (and USB controller for keyboard/mouse).
6. Anti‑cheat hack: Add: <feature policy='disable' name='hypervisor'/>
