I am using Sodium through Fabric. I am running on a laptop (2560x1600) with an external monitor attached (1920x1080). Whenever I launch the game, it opens in windowed mode on the laptop screen. So, I drag it over to the other monitor and press F11 to put it in fullscreen mode but it pulls it up the laptop screen. So, I use shift+meta+right to move it to the external monitor, but when I open the F3 menu, it's running at 2880x1800, which has rather adverse effects on the game's performance.

When I go to the settings however, there's both the vanilla menu and the Sodium menu. Sodium menu says that fullscreen resolution is only configurable if I am running on Windows. If I go to the vanilla menu and I change the resolution at all, the game remains open but vanishes, as if it was minimized, but it requires pressing F11 2-5 times for it to return - still running at the wrong resolution. Even when in windowed mode on the external monitor, the game runs at 2880x1618. Is there any way I can solve this issue, or should I just scurry back to windows for this?

World of Goo 2: now also available on Steam and GOG https://playingtux.com/articles/world-goo-2-now-also-available-steam-and-gog?lang=en #Linux #Gaming #LinuxGaming

Lately it seems like even with decent hardware, my machine can't even run games on lowest settings with FSR3/DLSS frame gen/whatever set the lowest internal resolution.

System is a Ryzen 5950X, RTX 3090, 32GB of RAM and PopOS running 22.04 LTS.

I'm not entirely sure where the issue might be, but performance is wildly different between games. Something like KCD2 or Atom Fall runs amazing, don't even need DLSS to hit 120 fps at high settings.

Meanwhile a game like Avowed, Oblivion Remaster or Expedition 33 barely chugs along even with frame generation.

I mostly play PC games but I have Xbox that I like to play on pretty frequently. On windows, I had it set up so that it would feed the Xbox audio back into my wired PC headphones and this was pretty easy to achieve, simply go into audio devices and tick the box that said “listen” (in my case it was line in) and I was wondering how you can achieve this on Linux. I’ve done some google-fu, tried enabling loopback in alsamixer, still no sound from the Xbox.

I’m on Nobara which came installed with Pulse Audio and I can see the device I want to listen in on but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to do it. If anyone’s got any insight it’d be greatly appreciated.

The title kind of says it all. Is it possible to play FiveM servers on Linux? I know GTA Online doesn't work. Thanks!

I've been trying to run Elden Ring on Fedora 42. The game boots up fine and gets into character customisation however once I start loading in my whole pc hard freezes. I cant even switch to another TTY, I have to hard reset my pc. When I have managed to alt tab during the loading process I can see my RAM filling up very quickly before everything freezes.

The game used to work for me (a long time ago) and every other game I've tried works fine so i'm pretty sure I didnt bork any system configs, it's just Elden Ring.

I honestly have no idea where to even start with this issue. What I have currently tried is switching to proton-ge, switching to an older version of proton, running elden ring with "PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 %command%" argument.

Theres a deleted reddit post that had a similar issue (I saw it from the search engine cache) and I tried the solution proposed by a user in the comments but he mentions that it could kernel issue. However I've seen another post that mentions the user running it fine on his f42 install so it must be some sort of tinkering ive done to my system over time (It's quite an old install aha)

Anyway, any help would be really appreciated, even if its just directing me to the relevant log files, ive never had to look into an error like this so I dont even know where to start with logs.

Hi, I've been trying to get Steam Recording to work on Arch Linux with an AMD RTX 7800 XT, encoding seems to be hardware accelerated, but it completely tanks my fps in every game. Has anyone had any success with using it?

good afternoon my fellow gamers. i come here to these intelectual lands in search of assistance. to cut it short:

I have Red Dead Redemption Remastered on Steam. The problem i face is that the game freezes before even reaching the menu actual menu screen. right before the social club pop up appears on windows. i got it working ONLY ONCE before it stopped working. the problem i face is related to social club i think. because when i used my windows virtual machine i had no problems. i used every solution listed on protondb, googled possible solutions for it, changed the kernel version, proton version, even tried to manually put my windows save inside proton. it did not work. i still have the same problem where it freezes before it reaches the actual menu screen. It seems like i'm the only one with this problem. everyone who played the game had no issue like mine and every game that caused me trouble i was able to fix it.

any help, possible fix or solution at all would be very appreciated

Hi,

has anyone else noticed that games using proton just crash when loading.

I initially thought that it was an issue with my distro so i did a fresh re-install however the issue still persist.

if you have any suggestions on what to try or even if anything has worked for you please tell me

FYI - running Majaro

So, I have a few games I bought from Steam that require Ubisoft Connect to play, I've tried doing several things, following several tutorials, and nothing seems to work. I tried doing things my own way, downloading the game from Steam and trying to launch it, got a prompt that it can't detect Uplay and something else with a menu that pops up. Doing it through Lutris, I can't even get it to download it through Ubisoft Connect, the button doesn't seem to do anything. I'm completely new and green to Linux and I am using Linux Mint. I just used timeshift to go back to the fresh install and asking for help here before I mess up more things.

Hi everyone!

I'm wondering about the current state and near-future plans regarding FSR 4 support on Linux. After a long time with Nvidia, I'm switching to an AMD 9070 XT (arriving on Monday), and I'd like to understand how well FSR 4 currently performs, especially since I have a 4K monitor.

I understand that Linux lacks features like Nvidia's DLSS DLL updates, although perhaps tools like OptiScaler could help here. Specifically, does FSR 4 work smoothly in native Linux games when using bleeding-edge setups like Mesa-git and Proton Experimental?

Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance, and have a great day or night, depending on your time zone! :)

Trying to play it in sway with tearing enabled and it's a rather unpleasant experience, feels like it tears much stronger than it should and there's crazy artifacting in menus or map loading screens, which is an even bigger problem because it's usually straight up stroboscopic flickering. Why is that and how to fix? Other games seem to run fine with sway's tearing.

I would just enable vsync, but my monitor is slow (100hz) so input lag is noticeable with vsync.
