I was having a problem getting most of my games that ran through any kind of wine or proton layer to have audio. Some would even crash or not run at all. It turns out, that with pipewire they really don't like running to multichannel audio interfaces. It could be an issue with pulse, but pipewire is what I was using. I have a Behringer XR-18 that I use for recording as well as my computer's default audio output. The fix took me a while to find/figure out, but it's pretty simple. I have another audio output option on my monitor so I set that as the computer's audio output and used a program called qpwgraph to route the output from the monitor to the XR 18. Now any game that starts up sees the stereo output and doesn't freak out, but I can still use my audio setup like normal. I can also use qpwgraph to make sure all the inputs and outputs are routed properly between my DAW and mixer. Any GUI for pipewire should work though. Just thought I'd share this in case anyone else was having the same problem.

Usually post on ProtonDB, but since this isn't a Steam game, and after a little browsing, I did notice some other Linux users experiencing the same issues in top results, figured I'd share how I got this game working. There will probably be excess settings as I was more or less throwing things at the wall to see what worked. Just hoping it helps someone.

Also worth noting that this experience was in KDE on Wayland (specifically, Nobara KDE 42) with an nvidia GPU.

1. Download the STOVE launcher (this is the launcher required to install Chaos Zero Nightmare). You mind as well create a onSTOVE account if you don't have one yet.
2. Install with Lutris normally. Nothing fancy here, just get it installed (I'm going to assume that you named your identifier chaos-zero-nightmare, so just keep that in mind going forward).
3. Open a Terminal window and enter the following commands.

​

# Change directory into your download directory. I'm using ~/Downloads $ cd ~/Downloads # Download WebView2 (it sounds like sometimes this is available in WineTricks - it wasn't for me). $ wget https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=2124703 -O webview2installer.exe # Install it to your Wine prefix (this is your Directory field on the Game info tab under Configure in Lutris). $ WINEPREFIX="/path/to/game/chaos-zero-nightmare" wine ~/Downloads/webview2installer.exe # Make sure to restart/kill Wine. $ wineserver -k

1. Right-click on your Chaos Zero Nightmare install in Lutris and click Configure.

2. Swap to the Game options tab.

3. Update the Executable to point to the launcher. (ex. /path/to/game/chaos-zero-nightmare/drive_c/ProgramData/Smilegate/STOVE/STOVE.exe)

4. Update the Working directory to point to the folding housing STOVE.exe (ex. /path/to/game/chaos-zero-nightmare/drive_c/ProgramData/Smilegate/STOVE/)

5. Save.

8a. If you don't already have GE-Proton (Latest) installed on your system, use ProtonPlus and get it installed before continuing.

1. Re-open the Configure screen and swap to Runner options.

2. Swap the Wine version to GE-Proton (Latest).

10a. There will be additional configuration for System options at the very bottom of this post. To be clear, I do not think these helped, which is why they're not here.

1. Save and click 'Play' on Chaos Zero Nightmare.

2. The launcher can be kinda slow, so have patience in all things. First thing you need to do is login. I highly encourage you to check the Auto-login toggle before clicking the Login button.

3. There's a quirk with the launcher where when it opens a sub-modal, it tries to blur the main window. Due to a layering issue, the sub-modal also gets covered and becomes uninteractable. I've not been able to overcome this for the Settings prompt, but to get it installed, we definitely can.

13a. Once you're shown the main window, move it to one side of your screen. Enough so that you could potentially have another window of the same size on the other side. If you can't, just make sure you could position the CENTER of the window outside the current main window's location.

1. Click on Chaos Zero Nightmare and click Install. You should notice the install window come up, but it'll be under a dimming modal and uninteractable. Some keyboard shortcuts work, but nothing that allows you to check the boxes or continue.

2. With the dimming window up, right-click on the tray icon, hover over "More" and click "Move". Using your cursor, simply drag the window to the clear spot on your monitor and click when you're done. The install window should still be under the dimming modal, but the main window is not.

3. Right-click the tray icon again, hover over "More" and click "Minimize".

4. Once it's minimized, simply left-click the icon again. The dimming modal should still be where it was, but the install window should snap to the center of the main window which was moved. You can now proceed with the install.

5. Once in-game, the only thing I noticed that I sometimes have to do is right-click the tray icon for the game, hover over "More" and click "Fullscreen". Everything else works flawlessly.

Now for the other things that I do not believe helped. I'll start with the environment variables in Configure/System options/Game execution/Environment variables. Again, I don't think these helped, these were literally a "throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks" effort.

DXVK_HUD = 0 LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE = 1 MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE = i965 WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE = 1 WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER = 1 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE = 0

Finally, a few regkeys run from Terminal.

# Remember to update your own paths. WINEPREFIX="/path/to/game/chaos-zero-nightmare" wine reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Edge\WebView2" /v DisableBackgroundNetworking /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f WINEPREFIX="/path/to/game/chaos-zero-nightmare" wine reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Edge\WebView2" /v HideOverlay /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f WINEPREFIX="/path/to/game/chaos-zero-nightmare" wine reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Edge\WebView2" /v AdditionalBrowserArguments /t REG_SZ /d "--disable-gpu --disable-software-rasterizer --disable-features=OverlayScrollbar" /f submitted by /u/0rito

Hi!

The problem is, I have an AMD RX 570 video card, I installed sudo pacman -S mesa lib32-mesa vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon libva-mesa-driver libva-utils and everything seems to be working, but the FPS in games has dropped significantly. For example, in Dota 2 on Windows with the same settings, I had 90-120 FPS, while on Arch Linux it was 50-80. I encountered a similar problem in Minecraft. All temperatures are normal. Where should I look next? Help.

So I'm using Linux Mint, and I've been trying to use the Azahar emulator for running Pokémon games. But I can't seem to get the .3ds files to run. Everything I can find says that I need .cci files, but I've tried to get hold of them for hours now and I can't find any way to get game files to run. Does anyone know what the solution to this might be? By the way, I'm new to Linux, and I really don't know how to use it that well yet.

Was anyone recently successfull with a battlenet (for D4) installation via Lutris?

My issue:
I can install the battlenet client in both ways: as a download or by selecting the pre-downloaded .exe.
Afterwards the client starts up and I should log in.
Now comes the issue: the steam on-screen keyboard does not work with the client window. I just cannot enter any credentials.
Any web-search in this regard turned out without a result.

I even tried to install recent GE-Proton and selected it in Lutris for the installer. If I do this, the Login Screen stays black and I dont see any login fields.

My questions are:

• Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
• Is an external keyboard mandatory for using battlenet via lutris?
• Is the installation via lutris not supported any more?
• Is the best way to install battlenet via steam itself?

I want to have automatic updates working without any further actions required and hoped that lutris is the best way for this.

Hey guys,

I wanted to ask if anyone has had success playing hearthstone on Arch Linux? I've struggled getting battle net to work. I first tried just installing battle net from the website, and running it with wine/steam proton.

I saw a few videos go over a method where you use Lutris. However, I ran into the following error:

Battle net agent went to sleep BLZBNTBNA00000005

I've since given up, since I either couldn't get battle net to even install, or I would get both battle net and hearthstone installed but absolutely nothing would happen.

I'm not quite sure what kind of "relevant details" I can shared, since as far as I saw in the tutorials there really isn't much that should or can go wrong. I'm using an AMD Graphics Card, Arch Linux, latest available Lutris version, and downloading battle net and hearthstone from the official Lutris website.

Any and all help would be appreciated!

Hello !

I'm new on linux and have a problem. When I try to play at Sonic Racing Crossworld, game run slow. Between 30-50fps. Sometimes steam show that it runs at 60fps, but game feels slow. Like a slow motion. I tried different Proton and change TSR to TAA, that make me gain a few fps.

Does anyone had the same problem ? I don't understand why it does work since ProtonDB show it platine and that I was able to run it like a charm on Windows.

Thanks for you help !

I installed left 4 for dead on the hydra launcher, and also lutris, but when I open the game I get this error: Steam is not running. You must start Steam in order to play this game. Can anyone help me how to resolve it?

Hey guys, I have problems with my 2 favourite games atm (Kingdom Rush Origins and Frontiers). I usually run them at 1080p in full-screen. But now the image is so big that it just shows a part of the game. This happens also when set it to 4k resolution. I only can play it on window mode. How could I probably fix it? I am running Fedora Silverblue 43 Gnome. It is weird because it was fine 1 day ago and all other games are fine too.

Hey. So I have decided that I want to get into the world of Linux because I'm getting sick of Windows 10 and Microsoft's bs.
I mainly use my PC to watch youtube or game on Steam. Xplane12 and MSFS are pretty much my most played games.

Now I don't know a whole lot about Linux or how gaming looks on there, but I just wanted to know if there is anyone out there who uses Linux and plays these two flight sims and if there is anything in particular I should expect.
