Hello, I'm trying to install a game I have on the epic games store through the heroic games launcher, the problem is that this game on epic just downloads the installer for the game, and when I try to run the installer, it seems to think that it only has ~70GB available, when the drive I have both the installer and the prefix installed on has >300GB free, and the game needs ~90GB free to install. Just in case this matters, the drive isn't my boot drive. Is there any way I could fix this?

Feel free to call my question dumb, it might be, I'm a Linux noob. But I read somewhere that Mesa 25.2 will come sometime in July or August bringing with it better support for RDNA4 gpus and Ray Tracing, would this mean we'll get FSR 4 support on native titles then (using a 9000 series gpu)? Or will that take longer?

I'm planning on upgrading my 7700xt to a 9070xt so I'd like to know how much would I need to wait for those things or whats the current state or near future plans for the 9000 gpus under Linux. Thank you all

Having issues with Battlefront 2. Using Arch and I have an Nvidia RTX card. I tried to launch the game through Heroic first but that didn't work. The EA app would launch and I could never get the game itself to launch. I tried Lutris and launching it through the EA app that way, no luck. I tried bottles, both the EA app and Epic Games Launcher, no luck. I tried Epic and EA app through steam with proton directly, no luck. I then even bought the game again on steam since it was cheap and on sale, and again, the EA app launches but the game itself never does. Any ideas how to fix this? I've tried proton hotfix, experimental, GE 10.4, GE 9 etc etc. Cant seem to get the game to launch at all.

So I came across a game the other day where the steam version says it's playable on Linux, but the GOG version doesn't say that.

Are Steam & GOG actually distributing two so different files that one can be played on Linux and the other can't?

I'm also irritated because some GOG games explicitly say Ubuntu - do they really only run on Ubuntu and no other distro?

What has your experience been with GOG on Linux?

When I used Fedora it worked normally, after I migrated to CachyOS with Kde Plasma it only records the audio, the video recording itself is black, if anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it (this post was translated into English by reddit, so there may be miscommunication)

Has anyone noticed that the EA APP consumes too much Ram with Steam soon? I'm playing Star Wars Battlefront 2 every time I play, the EA app needs to be open, I have no problems with that, the problem is that this App is consuming almost 4GB of Ram

So I'm thinking of redoing my setup, I plan probably to go onto Mac. Yes I know a Mac is not for gaming, but apple silicon performs well enough for the games I want to play and just provides me a lot of other uses, game development my case and I know Mac ain't for that but I only intend to stick to the likes of Godot and 2D development so that's not an issue for me. Also a Mac mini m4 and an iPad M3 is cheaper than a custom pc setup I would go for ;-; (I've built so many PCs and setups for other people and now when it comes to my own I look at the price and even with the apple tax for RAM it's still cheaper, I hate the current state of the PC market.) But anyways that aside I wanted to see if Linux could potentially change my mind, I finally got drawn over the edge with windows finally deciding to give me ads and after all the years of errors and pain im just looking for something else. I've daily driven Ubuntu before, didn't like it just wasn't as straightforward as I would like. I would like to add I am a programmer and tech nerd so I can tinker and like that, but I don't want to deal with that to just install a simple game too much, I want something reliable and easy but I can get under the hood and customise later, cause say what you want but I find all of the stock distros to just be not ugly but not good looking and will be customising that later. I still need windows for valorant unfortunately, I also use an Nvidia GPU in my laptop so I don't want too much hassle dealing with Nvidia drivers but as torvalds once said F you Nvidia, so I understand if there is a bit of work there. I was thinking of Mint or PopOS, leaning towards mint cause I just see it working and has good customisation. Really wanted to just use Steam OS but intel CPU and Nvidia GPU and it not being fully ready is unfortunate. So yeah this is mostly me trying to just see if switching lets me do light game dev better. My laptop mostly deals with poor thermal design, but I wanna see if Linux can just breathe enough life until I'm happy enough with prices to build a custom PC, like seriously apple is the better value right now, please kill me. So yeah any recommendations? My laptop is an acer aspire with an i5-1135G7 and Mx350, 20gb of RAM if anyone has any recommendations for a distro that could give low overhead to that spec of machine. Oh and my setup is also 2 SSDs, m.2 512gb and SATA 512gb, I'm thinking of keeping OSs on single drive and the SATA drive just holds files but if anyone advises otherwise for a good reason I'm all ears.

But yeah please any suggestions, tips and knowledge you can depart. (Also yes apple not for games or game dev, but my use case its better value unfortunately:( so hopefully Linux can drop that horror from happening, cause an iPad for game dev set with a Mac mini or even MacBook is tempting af with this value). Oh and for a custom PC I want a R9 7900, 9070, 2tb lexar NM790, asrock B850m pro a WiFi, gskill ram at cl26 at 6000mhz, seasonic 850w and fractal north mesh and a phantom spirit. Those specs are non negotiables so don't try and tempt me from them, I know my PC parts they hold what I would want.

Sorry if that comes off a bit demanding. I just wanted to give full context and make it clear what I'm after. Thanks for the replies.

So yeah, pretty much as stated in the title, booting up Steam opens a window that asks for log in. I´ve tried logging in via username and password, as well as via the steam guard QR code. The result both times is getting stuck on the loading screen once (it appears) my log in details are verified. I´ve attached an image of the screen in question.

I have tried deleting all Steam related files, uninstalling and reinstalling, using both website download and apt install. Tried firewall on and off, tried using different WiFi connections etc..

I´m completely stumped to say the least. This is the terminal log as I launch Steam in the terminal:

Anyone has an idea?

Generally in Star Wars the Old Republic, the game takes the Windows 10/11/x cursor and uses that size to make its own cursor. However, in Linux using Steam's Proton and others like GE, the mouse is fixed to 25x25, which is way to small for my 55' TV.

I've tried;
Setting XCURSOR_SIZE variable
Changing DPI with protontricks
Changing regedit CursorBaseSzie with protontricks
Changing the built in CursorSize in regedit with protontricks
Changing the resoultion in game to a smaller one, mouse the adopts to become the same size relative to my normal screen instead of the game, nevertheless, useless. (Happens in fullscreen, borderless and windowed)

I've also confirmed that the settings where changed and applied correctly, they just didn't have any effect on the actual game.

How in gods name can I change this damn cursor!

I'm on;
Archlinux
KDE Plasma 6 Wayland

Steam also has a smaller cursor then KDE's but it is a wine program itself, if I remember correctly and I havent messed with it. Probably not note worthy but meh.

I did some googling and I found a couple conflicting statements. If I want a SteamOS distro with FSR 4 support what should I be looking at distro-wise?

First of all, specs:
GPU: GTX 1060 6GB
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
RAM: 16GB 3000MHz
OS: Linux Mint 22.1

I'm gonna say immediately that it's my first time gaming on Linux, I don't realy know anything about it lmao, but I have basic knowledge about Linux as a OS
The game just won't run, it says "You don't have enough system and video memory to start the game" which is not true because the game ran on Windows 11. I know I kinda barely meet the minimum requirements for the game, but still, it ran on Windows.
I tried using several Proton versions - stable, experimental, hotfix, none of it worked, Tried reinstalling nvidia drivers and using older versions of it. Tried veryfing files of the game. I guess I could try reinstalling the game but maybe there's some fix for it.
So what could I do?

Hi everyone!

I want to take a moment to share the exciting journey we’re on and the passion that drives us. Our game is being built by a team that is deeply invested in creating something truly unique. We're putting everything we have into it risking it all because we believe in the project and the vision.

From day one, we focused on what the community wanted. We initially set out to create a purely PvP experience, but after listening to feedback from you all, many players expressed the desire for PvE. And we heard you loud and clear! We’re going to deliver a PvE mode that will blow your mind bigger, better, and more immersive than anything you've seen before, including the likes of Ruiner and Ascent.

Some of you might be thinking, “I don’t like sci-fi,” or “Top-down games aren’t for me.” Well, let me tell you, you’ll love sci-fi, and I’ll open your eyes to the world of top-down gameplay. It’s a genre I’ve grown up with and I’m excited to share it with you. I believe in pushing the limits of what’s possible, and we’re doing just that with a team that includes some of the best minds in the industry.

We have a diverse team of about 20 talented people, each bringing years of experience from titles like PoE2, Diablo, Phoenix Point, Xcom, Company of Heroes, and Warhammer 40,000. We may not have big funding behind us, but we have something more important: passion, commitment, and the support of people who believe in the project.

We’re not stopping, and we’re not going anywhere. This game will not fail because of funding. We’ll keep going on our own energy, with the love and support of the community. If we don’t hit our Kickstarter goal, we’ll keep pushing forward regardless. Our mission is to make a game for the community, by the community.

The road hasn’t been easy, and we’ve faced many challenges along the way. But with the team we have, we believe in our product and we’re excited to keep building it with all of you. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Together, we can make something truly special.

Please support us, share your thoughts, and let’s make this game the best it can be. We need your belief in us more than anything! https://www.reddit.com/r/POLYSTRIKE/

So I was playing on my ps5 using the same monitor. I had left my steam client open while downloading overwatch on my pc. When I finished a match on my ps5, i switched inputs back to my PC, and my steam client was switched to french, and cyberpunk was downloading, instead of overwatch like i had left it.

This Linux distro is a brand new install btw. I just installed it 2 hours ago.

I also enabled the firewall and set it to DROP. It is opensuse leap 15.6. I also had my controller plugged into my PC because my controller only charges while it's connected to my PC.

What could have done this? It's too many steps for me to accidentally have done it with the PS5 touchpad. Plus, the steam client needs a restart to confirm the language. BUT I did press the touchpad multiple times to check the scoreboard in overwatch. Did i just get very lucky and accidentally did this? I'm bringing up the touchpad theory because my controller works on the ps5 and the touchpad works as an input on my PC at the same time.

My steam authenticator is on. I also have 2 factor authentication and everything. Could I have a RAT? Or is it a far fetched idea? 🗿

I'm sorry if this is hard to understand.

For those interested here are some performance numbers when running FSR4 on RDNA3 (specifically on the 7900xtx).

In the tables below you can compare all the values between the different upscalers and the different quality levels. All benchmarks have been done on a 4K display so the quality presets results in the following resolution scaling:

Quality: 2560x1440 (1.5)
Balanced: 2259x1270 (1.7)
Performance: 1920x1080 (2)

Based on my knowledge in order to achieve optimal performance you need:

• The most recent mesa-git (changes got merged yesterday that should address some performance discrepancies according to DadSchoorse).
• proton-EM.10.0.23 or newer

If you use an older version of mesa-git you need to set radv_cooperative_matrix2_nv to false. I reported this in the following post (thank you Etaash for the information):
Even more FSR4 performance on RDNA3 in the future

Note: I haven't found any performance difference with current mesa-git so this part is most likely already obsolete.

So in order to showcase the performance improvements I have to use different Driver/Proton versions:

------------------ FSR4 before FSR4 now Proton proton-EM-10.0-20 proton-EM.10.0.23 mesa Mesa 25.2.0-devel (git-7b81c5bb78) Mesa 25.2.0-devel (git-6842a8179f)
