I am trying to use gamescope to limit my fps at 144 since I Run marvel rivals using frame gen and fsr and I want to limit tearing and input latency.

Whenever I use gamescope however, it auto launches my game at 720p and not the native resolution. Even when i change the settings ingame it remains at 720p. Using the arguments H-1440 W-2560 does work for launching the game at 1440p however, it disables the use of FSR ingame.

Does this mean that gamescope CANNOT be used with a games fsr implementation and its one or the other and if that is the case, is there another way i can limit fps?

Hello there!

I'm a brand new Linux user and, since I've only used Macs for the last 15 years, I thought that I could finally give gaming a try. I only have a pretty old laptop to run Linux on (for now) so my intention was to rediscover older titles from my childhood (basically the 2000s). As I could never properly play Oblivion because of my potato computer of the time and the fact that I switched to Mac a couple of years later, I thought I could finally play the sequel to my favorite game of all time.

I got it from Steam, set up Proton, and launched it. In the launcher, all the options were greyed out except for the website link and the exit button. I discovered that this is a fairly common problem. I followed a guide where it says that I should update the registry key for the game. I followed the guide, also trying a few different paths to my game installation, but the only result I got was the the launcher doesn't even appear anymore and the game fails to launch completely. I even tried to use wine to open the Oblivion.exe file (thereby skipping the launcher, right?) but wine throws an error and that's it.

I would really love to finally play this game after almost 20 years, so any help is greatly appreciated.

I will also post this to the Oblivion sub, in case anybody can help me from there.

HP 355 G2 / MX Linux 23.6 with Linux 6.1.0-33-amd64 (x86_64) kernel / XFCE 4.20 / AMD A8-640 APU with AMD R5 integrated graphics / 8GB RAM / Crucial BX500 SSD

hi,I need to migrate from arch linux I am looking for a different linux system as I'm too stupid to use arch, I've enjoyed using linux and don't really wanna go back to windows as the performance gains from a lot of things on the same hardware that I wasn't getting on windows fro things like my creative software and some games I liked to play had major gains on my hardware like Minecraft.

id like a much easier to use distort with less reliance on the terminal, and preferably has a building "App Store".

hopefully I can find something to be my future OS otherwise I might Bite the bullet and going back to windows.

Hello!

Well i have a problem with ESO on linux, yesterday i was able to play without any problem, but today, the game "freeze" before character selection. I even reinstalled it but still cant run this :c
i use Proton Hotfix, but 9.0.4 also don't work
+ this setting in steam PROTON_SET_GAME_DRIVE=1 %command%
any ideas?

EDIT: It was probably due to Picom, after “killall picom” the game works normally (after a little more time of waiting).

First of all, I've never ever used Linux before. It was my first time using it and I hadn't even know what kind of problems are waiting to jump onto me. I just cluelessly installed Linux Mint as my main OS and hop into its world.

After some specific to my PC actions (such as scaling my VGA-0 output from 768p to 1080p) I installed GPU drivers, steam and related to my hobby software. And I'm lucky enough. There was almost none of soft that I lost by migrating to Linux.

But when I installed proton and some games from steam I encountered a lot of errors. Majority part of this errors was related to my old af GPU (Kepler architecture) so my first action was installing ProtonSarek (ofc only after hours of searching). This solved all problems except the greatest one.

"Out of video memory" exception can not be solved by software nor settings or launch options. And it hurts. Only because I'm using NVIDIA card I can't use part of my RAM for GPU memory like in Windows. It seems stupid why NVIDIA implemented "Shared memory" feature in Windows but not in Linux. And at the same time AMD cards doesn't have this problem at all. So the only solution is buying a new video card.

Because of lack of video memory some games are unplayable at all. Deep Rock Galactic throwing an error and crashing. CS2 freezes and locking my mouse so I can't use my PC. PoE is a stuttering hell (Infinite shaders loading while in action). And even some cut scenes are lost or jiggling (like in Library of Ruina). This all happens even then I run games in 720p so 2 GB of Vram is garbage. I've never thought before how much of RAM was used by my GPU.

But all this errors occurs only while I'm playing. Blender, Godot, Rider, VSCode, Aseprite, OBS, PNGTuber, Kdenlive and Audacity are perfectly works in Linux. I can't even say is there any difference between Windows and Linux while I'm using these soft.

And so... What can I say about Linux? It's a very interesting adventure. It's unique on it's own and I having fun worthlessly spending my time on searching info that will help solve my problems. It seems that Linux itself is a game for me now.

P.S.: Yes, I doesn't see any difference in game performance.

So, I finally installed Mint along with Windows, but with Linux on a USB SSD external drive. Everything appeared fine, but when I went to reboot into Windows (unplugged Linux drive), Windows couldn't find locations for Windows or Linux.

i noticed I had two boots for Windows 10 and win 11 and no Linux, so I went to msconfig to delete the extra boot line and got it to find and boot Windows, but it won't boot to Linux when it's plugged into USB ...

I did finally get Mint to run with a very old grub 2 boot disk I still had in my junk drawer, but I don't want to go thru the boot disk each time I want to play with it ....

So I think what I need to do is re-create my boot environment somehow, so basically, if Linux is plugged in it would boot to Mint, but if it's not there, then it would default to Windows and start without me having to mess with boot disks ...

Does anyone know how I can achieve this easily? I assume I need to recreate my boot variables somehow.

Also is there a better sub for stupid Linux questions, or is this sub fine for stupid questions?

thx for any feedback, if any ...

I installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS a few days ago and when I run the CSS, it appears that it is running and after a few seconds it closes and never opens the game. As I understand it, Valve games are native to Linux, so they do not require Proton. I have already tried other games (CS1.6, HL1 and HL2) and they work as if nothing had happened.

Someone knows why this happens and how I can solve it? Maybe it's a very beginner's problem haha, idk

Hey everyone,

I'm currently using CachyOS and it's been a pretty solid experience for gaming so far. That said, I've been thinking about making the switch to NixOS, mainly out of curiosity and a desire to learn something new. Also having all my system as a configuration files sounds very tempting.
I'm wondering how well gaming holds up on NixOS in general, did you encounter any problems while using NixOS?

Would love to hear about your setups and any pros or cons you've run into. Thanks in advance!
