Sims 4 mod support for GF
Hey everyone,
My GF ordered a new PC and we're playing with the idea of using Linux on it (either Pop!_OS or CachyOS, but still open for recommendations). I'm wondering if her beloved Sims 4 will run through the EA App with all the DLCs she bought and if she can mod Sims 4 under Linux properly.
Any experiences and/or suggestions are appreciated!
Have a great week y'all!

Linux Mint for Gaming with Nvidia GPU?
I have a laptop with i7 14700hx, 16gb of ram and RTX 4060, I know Intel and AMD have really good support for Linux, but Nvidia really falls short on gaming performance on Linux, whereas AMD GPUs sometimes surpass their performance on Windows. Can someone with an Nvidia GPU tell me how good the performance is when compared to Windows?

How should i play cs2?
OS: CachyOS x86_64
Host: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ROG CROSSHAIR VIII HERO (WI-F
Kernel: 6.15.4-zen2-1-zen
Packages: 1453 (pacman), 38 (flatpak)
Shell: zsh 5.9
Resolution: 1920x1080
DE: Plasma 6.4.1 (Wayland)
WM: kwin_wayland_wr
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (12) @ 5.281GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER
Memory: 31997MiB
..........................
Here are my specs, and I want to play CS2 with the lowest input lag possible. I don’t want that laggy feeling when I play.
My Steam launch option is:
gamescope -f -w 1920 -h 1080 -r 144 --force-grab-cursor --rt --immediate-flips -- %command%
There is a strange thing though. When I turn off VSync, I get 144 FPS, but sometimes (especially when I kill someone), the game suddenly feels very laggy. However, with VSync turned on, it is always smooth. Because of input lag, I don’t want to play with VSync on, but with it off, the experience is worse.
What do you suggest I do to have smooth gameplay with low input lag?
ps: screen tearing is not happening both vysnc on / off

Need help disabling ASLR for a Windows game I am opening through Steam's proton.
Hi, so I'm trying to play this game I downloaded, and I'm also trying to use game conquerer to cheat. I'm not trying to use Cheat Engine because:
I don't like having to get the server for it or else it doesn't read anything outside of Wine.
The last CE update was broken for me. I was struggling with CE in another game, so I decided to update CW and the server, but I was just getting told that I had the wrong version, and it never worked for me. I accidentally deleted the old version, and I couldn't downgrade because for whatever reason it didn't exist anymore.
Anyway, any time I try cheating in the game, and I close it or or simply go to the title screen, the memory is randomized, and any values I found are not longer in that location anymore, and I would have to find them again.
I did some searching online, discovered ASLR, but I don't want to do that for my entire system, only the specific game.
I'm also running BepInEx for the game, so I already have another command in the launch options.
Anyway, I went to ChatGPT, and started asking if there was a way to have both commands as a launch option. I have no real programming skill, so ChatGPT created the following .sh file:
!/bin/bashPROTON_PATH="$HOME"/.steam/steam/steam apps/common/Proton Hot fix/proton"
GAME_PATH="$HOME/Games/Dan's Game/Dan's Game.exe"
setarch uname -m -R \ env WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b" \ "PROTON_PATH" run "$GAME_PATH"
And the launch option I have for the game on steam is just:
./dan_custom_launch.sh %command%
So, the program somewhat works. I found that BepInEx is able to open through the WINEDLL command, but it doesn't disable ASLR. Anytime I go to ChatGPT for the issue, I feel like it just keeps random crap out of its ass to justify whatever changes it makes.
Any time I try to edit the .sh file, the only "errors" I get is that the game just doesn't open, and Steam goes back to the green play button. That or ASLR just doesn't seem to work.
Please help.

Just waiting on next proton to finalize seamless HDR for gaming?
Am i right in thinking were just waiting for the next proton to enable Wayland by default without needing flags for gaming? We already have seamless HDR in browser for Youtube, at least Firefox does. So if that's working must just need proton? I know its stupid close rn. Maybe a few more tweaks to accuracy but all in all it feels ready.

Life long Windows user curious to step into Linux gaming
I've used Windows my entire life, and have used Linux some on the job (I work in IT support), but have been debating taking the plunge into getting Linux for at home for gaming. I've done a bit of research already, and have seen a couple of distros mentioned as good options for Linux gaming, but it feels a little daunting to try to narrow it down without any guidance. So I was hoping to get some opinions from the subreddit to see if there are any suggestions for a good gaming distro that could also cover all of my day to day needs (mostly web browsing and the occasional bit of photo editing). Also any gotchas to look out for in terms of hardware compatibility would be appreciated too. I've built two of my own desktops in the past, but it's been 7+ years so I'm a little rusty on modern specs, even though I'm more than used to opening up a tower to work with the guts.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Baldur's Gate III Crashing
Hi! Before i begin, this is my first time on Linux. I am on fedora 42, i already installed the GPU drivers and changed windowing system from wayland to x11. For some reason, Baldur's Gate crashing on the loading screen, after i select continue. The menu is running as the same way as It was running on Windows 11 and i already made sure that Baldurs Gate is using my dedicated GPU. Is there any way to solve this?

Our murder-mystery visual novel game Sleuth Saga: Under Starless Skies just got a free update in response to player feedback!
Hey again everyone - you might've seen us post here when we launched the game several weeks ago! Since then we've gotten some great feedback and bug reports that've helped us prioritise our focus when polishing and improving the demo, and now, that version is available to download on our itch.io page, accompanied by a devlog that helps explain the features we've expanded upon.
We're just a two-person team and we're always working hard to improve and polish the project in response to player feedback, so if you haven't already, now would be a great time - especially for you Linux gamers, we really need more Linux testers - to check the demo out and let us know your thoughts. Thanks again for the positive reception and we hope to hear from more of you soon!

Halo: GoldSource mod brings Halo multiplayer to Half-Life
UPDATE: what does this mean
Okay so a few days ago I asked for some help about what exactly what causing this screen, and fortunately y’all had some good advice on stuff to try. Apologies for the delay in updating y’all I was helping a roommate move in and this got put on the back burner while I was doing that.
Anyways so thanks to some advice I was able to check and see that my GPU, an AMD Radeon RX 7800XT, did not have its fans spinning while I was using it, so I ended up getting this software off of the software hub built into nobara called LACT which let me adjust and fiddle with the fan and power settings.
First thing I noticed was that the curve for fan usage was all out of whack so I set a nice curve so it would start keeping it cool at around 50 degrees C and I also saw that you could adjust how much wattage of power went to the card and the max was 280 w and for some reason it was limited to 230 w? Don’t know why that was the case but I bumped it up to 280. Haven’t had any errors like I had before and I tested my new settings on total warhammer 3 on max for a couple hours and it ran fine.
Wanted to thank y’all again for helping me figure out what was going on!

I dual booted linux mint and disabled my secure boot for install and now I can't play valorant on Windows
ProtonPlus has a new awesome feature
I wanted such think in Steam, because it's sometimes hard to keep track of what uses which Proton, sometimes I want everything to just use the default one, but good luck finding what doesn't already.
It also shows AreWeAnticheatYet compatibility with the shield, and you can navigate to the install and prefix directories of a game using three dots

Mouse cursor overlaps on 2nd monitor causing clicks to tab out
I'm on fedora 42 gnome. Using an RX 9070. The primary display I'm playing games on is 2k and the 2nd monitor is 4k.
This happens regardless of if I am in a menu with a visible cursor like in the screenshot or in game.
In some games, such as stellar blade, my mouse cursor goes slightly over onto my 2nd monitor (the green part of the screenshot is my wallpaper) which seems to cause most clicks to tab me out when turning the camera to the left.
As far as I can tell this is NOT an issue of the game not properly capturing my cursor. As using the games built in option as well as trying winecfg to lock the cursor to the game does not fix the problem.
Gamescope does not seem to be a solution. As even with the --force-grab-cursor launch option my mouse just slides right off the left side of my monitor. Making the game even less playable.
After trying all the solutions I can find for related problems online I'm out of ideas on how to fix this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

9070XT Crashes please send help.
Hello, n00b here. Please help me out here, I'm slowly loosing it.
Since I got a 9070 XT some games crash the system more than others. Right now it's really bad.
It's complicated but I'll do my best to describe the symptoms.
All I need are ideas on what else to check / what do?
THE SYMPTOMS ARE:
All the screens go black, Then they turn back on, and the system is either frozen, or it recovers like 10% of the time.
The games I tried it with:
Darktide almost crashes all the time, at some point in a mission, not on the ship though.
Space Marine 2 is more stable but managed to crash that too.
Warframe is very stable, but it does rarely crash too.
HERE'S ALL THE CONTEXT I CAN GIVE/THE TROUBLESHOOTING I DID:
I used to be on Mint with Xanmod, now I switched to CachyOS, and both had the issue.
Tried different Proton versions, different Distros, different desktop environments(MATE, KDE Plasma), X11 and Wayland, tried with and without LACT undervolting. Done a Memtest and passed. Installed the newest BIOS,
CURRENTLY I'M RUNNING:
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT
RAM: 31.26 GiB
Power supply 850W
CachyOS x86_64
Kernel: Linux 6.15.4-3-cachyos
KDE Plasma 6.4.1
KWin (Wayland)
Mesa 25.1.4-cachyos1.2
GE-Proton 10-7
The system under load is around 60-70˚C
Today I managed to catch a crash at 17:23:29 at least that was the time on the panel clock and it did recover so I managed to salvage some logs.
DURING A CRASH:
Steam returns:
journalctl -b -1 -p err
returns the following:
journalctl -b -1 | grep -i amdgpu
returns:
(the /sys/class/drm/card0/device/devcoredump folder doesn't exist so I couldn't dig deeper)
journalctl -b -1 | grep -i wayland
returns:
sudo dmesg | grep amdgpu
returns:
Can I do something about this?
or do I need to wait even more for a better mesa driver?

From Windows to Linux
I'm tired of Microsoft constantly pushing certain things on us. I've been hearing that Linux games have been improving lately. BazziteOS and SteamOS look really good. As an NVIDIA GPU laptop user, do you think it makes sense to switch? Which operating system would you recommend?

Can running Windows games on Linux affect their behaviour?
Hey. I am currently playing Elden Ring Nightreign on Arch Linux under Proton Experimental. I'm trying to beat a boss fight without taking any damage, but I am having some pretty strange issues and I'm beginning to get paranoid that running the game through a compatibility layer is causing hitboxes to be subtly affected. Is anything like this at all possible or are you scoffing at your screen right now lol? Thanks!

Decided to switch from Windows 10 to Nobara. What should I expect as a Linux noob.
Hey everyone. Recently-ish realized that Windows 10 is not going to be supported by Microsoft soon. I thought about it for a while and I decided to switch to Linux, for my main gaming platform, as I don't want to continue feeding the Megacorp that is Microsoft.
That being said. I have never previously used any Linux distros. I did some research and while I understand that it's typically better to start with a Debian or Ubuntu based distro, I settled for Nobara instead. I was initially considering Garuda but I've been discouraged by people I know from using an Arch based distro even though it's supposed to be more user friendly. I also considered Bazzite but I've seen other people report that there are some issues with some games on Steam as it detects it as a SteamDeck.
Anyway, just wanted to know, from the people who have experience using Nobara, what are common urdles that I should expect as a noob with that OS.

Gamescope embedded fully closes when game is exited
Hi, I'm trying to use embedded gamescope (-e/--steam) to run steam on my system running CachyOS, but I'm encountering an issue I can't find anywhere online: whenever I exit a game through its own quit options, gamescope shuts itself down entirely, closing steam in the process, this isn't what I want to be happening and I'd rather steam stayed open, but that only happens if I use the exit game option in the steam overlay. So far I can't figure out how to make this work the way it's expected to, if anyone has any ideas I'd be very thankful for the help!
