I am using Mesa 25.1.1

I am on Ubuntu 24.0.4 i think

Here is what happens.

https://reddit.com/link/1lju8kh/video/5vkeosmgiz8f1/player

I press spacebar when it tells me to. The little pulsing glow effect stops when I press space, so the game is probably freezing. In my previous tests, it sits on that screen until I close it on steam.

I have been trying to fix this for 2 weeks now. Bethesda Support didn't help because "nO LiNuX sUpPoRt" and Steam won't let me refund it because of how much time I have spent trying to fix it. So here I am, screaming into the void of the internet to see if someone much better at Linux than I am can help me.

I am willing to change Linux distros to fix this.

I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE WASTED 70 DOLLARS PLEASE HELP

Hi fellow Linux gamers,

I am currently on a intel 5070 NVIDIA machine running Ubuntu. I have been playing a ton of last of us and cyberpunk without a hitch for a few weeks. But recently, Ive been running into this issue where I click "Play" on a game and immediately my steam puts itself in "No Connection" mode though I am soundly connected to Wifi. I restart it and after a few tries, it runs smoothly for a time. I just am wondering if there's any way i can fix this. I hope it doesn't become harsher issue and put my gaming time at risk! Please let me know if any of y'all have suggestions on how to solve this! Wish y'all well and stay cool during this summer heat!

My old Linux Mint install got borked when it asked me to do a Kernel update, something about xGCP (dont remember the name but it was something like that) not able to be ran and the boot drive having no space (complete bullshit btw)

I reinstalled and updated the Kernel, beyond what it was telling me originally, which was 6.8, to 6.11 to avoid issues and now the computer works and I've reinstated my timeshift.

Games used to run perfectly fine on native and proton. Now when I try to run the same games (using the launch option I was using previously to make steam use the dGPU 'DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="AMD Radeon RX 7600" %command%') I get stuttering and lower fps.

Even on my modded OpenMW (Elder Scrolls Morrowind, which came out in 2002) install do I get graphical glitches and lower performance (on fairly tame shaders)

I used the same USB I used to originally install Mint. I don't see what could be possibly different now.

Hi, What I can do to improve my gaming experience on Linux? The games are still laggy and in GTA 5 I get under 50 FPS in LS compared with Windows, where I used to got 60-65 FPS everywhere. Maybe the legacy NVIDIA GPU, which is not so good supported under the penguin operating system is here guilty and I should switch to Radeon GPU?

i5 4460 GTX 1050Ti (NVIDIA proprietary 535 + Mesa) 8 GB RAM LMDE (dualbooted with Windows 10) (My setup is outdated and pathetic, I know...)

I'm launching my games through Lutris and preinstalled WineGE 8.26

I'm not a gaming person. Recently switched back to Linux (Mint). Heard how easy gaming on Linux is compared to couple years ago and decided to download GTA V.

No configuring emulators and stuff, just downloaded Steam, pressed play and ta-da!

Graphics set to medium, getting around 30-40 FPS. There are occasional crashes. My laptop is not a gaming laptop, cooling is not that good, thus when it gets hot it's game over.

I don't know how it is compared to Windows because I had never played GTA V before. This post is not a comparison, and I'm not knowledgeable enough to say whether its performance is good. Just wanted to share my experience and overall it's positive for me. I wasn't even expecting it to run, but it seems like thanks to Steam things work much better now.

Here are my specs:

OS: Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon
Kernel: 6.8.0-62-generic
Processor: 11th Gen Intel© Core™ i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz × 4
Memory: 15.3 GiB
Hard Drives: 541.4 GB
Graphics Card: Intel Corporation TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics]
Graphics Card: NVIDIA Corporation TU117M [GeForce MX450]
Display Server: X11

for the original post, see here

i've tried a bunch of things. changed cables, changed kernel versions, switched driver versions, tried with and without gamescope, etc. nothing fixes it and i have absolutely no idea what could be causing it either. adaptive sync functionality is perfect when on windows 11 so clearly this isn't a hardware based issue.

kernel 6.15 actually made the issue far worse and eventually froze the entire system after letting it sit there and flicker like crazy for a few minutes. currently using the latest version of mesa. the only logs i found were these just before the crash happened. i'm at an absolute loss here

Y'all think Xbox will convince Microsoft to port the Xbox App to Linux with the new proposal on turning every device on a Xbox, and bring Xbox to all platforms?

I get significantly better FPS on Windows with RT on. Usually it's about 20-40% worse on linux. Some games tho literally have 2 FPS when I turn it on, specifically Alan Wake 2. Are the drivers still that bad even months after release or is there something else going on here?

Edit: To clarify I've been testing the RT performance on Fedora 42 KDE.

when you click on whatever is in ur library, it auto-launces the program, but what if i want to launch the program in bottles from a menu icon? or create a shortcut for my desktop? where is the file location i can point the path to in order for it my application in bottles to launch that way?

Hi,

EU4 is one of my all time favorite games, and I have been really hyped for EU5. A little while ago I made the switch to Fedora KDE on my desktop and I have had a blast. Gaming has been surprisingly smooth. But the non Linux support for EU5 is worrying me a bit. For you with more experience with Linux and Proton, do we have any reasons to believe EU5 wont run well on it? Do you think we will be able to run the game?

Thanks for your input.

HI Guys,

I'm new to linux gaming but i'm loving it so far. I am running into one issue I'm not sure how to address. My PS5 edge controller is working great directly connected but over bluetooth the button mapping is jumped. It thinks the right trigger is the left joystick ect. I've verified i'm on the most recent firmware, and that the controller works. What can I do to fix this? i've had no luck googling the solution.

Thanks in advance for any help!

(sorry for the mistakes, I use Google Translate Sorry for the mistakes, I use Google translator because of problems with English)

I encountered one exotic problem with Nvidia, namely the replacement of shades of blue to yellow and vice versa. I do not know how to solve this, I searched on all forums but did not find a solution. probably because the driver can't work directly with color in wayland and it needs a layer in the form of x11

Here's what it looks like on Tiny Glade

with pure wayland

with x11 interlayer

I was today old when I found out you can press F4 in the Dolphin file browser, and it opens a terminal below the folder contents!
