I've been trying to play Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People on Mint with the GOG installer, which works just fine on Windows.

I tried Bottles at first, running the installer and then setting up programs for each individual episode within the bottle, and it didn't work. The programs wouldn't start. Then I tried Lutris, which opened the launcher for the episodes. When I opened the first one, the logos played, and then it crashed and my desktop was all zoomed in for some reason (this fixed itself on a restart).

I'm not sure if my process (running the installer through one of the various Wine things) is the right way to go about this, or if there's something else that I'm doing wrong. Should I download a standalone exe unpacker? Run it as a non-Steam game with Proton? I'm kind of lost here. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Time to Return To Metroidvania with this new Humble Bundle, with 8 great games for cheaps. Here's how they'll run on Linux / Steam Deck.

I'm a hobbyist game developer and I've just put out my first steam game's demo! My game has a native linux build and while I've tested it on:

• Kubuntu 22.04 on a Thinkpad T420 and
• Arch Linux on a Microsoft Surface Pro 8 (courtesy of a friend)

I'm interested in checking the experience on other distros / hardware configurations, mostly on a Steam Deck if anyone is willing to...

It's a classic arcade style bullet-hell, and otherwise I'm interested to hear any feedback anyone has about anything! If anyone has feedback I'd like to know what hardware / distro anyone is running,

Thank you in advance!

I installed Fedora 42, and recently a new patch for Path of Exile 2 was released. I used to be able to play normally using ProtonGE, but now the game either closes about 4 seconds after launching or gets stuck loading and never opens. I’ve tested other Proton versions like Experimental and Steam’s default Proton, but the issue persists. Other games work fine. I’m not sure if the problem is due to the system update or the game update.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I enjoy using my G920 to race in AC - when it works! - but I have some funky issues, frequently enough to make the experience quite annoying:

- the wheel gets stuck in a FFB mode, where it wants to turn the wheel all the way to one side (or the other) and keep it there

- if I stop the car, the wheel will still want to bounce around

- even sometimes exiting the race - or even AC altogether (the content manager), the wheel will still turn around or make random motions.

I suspect all these symptoms have the same root cause - FFB commands not getting cleared out, or the wheel stops listening to new ones.

None of these behaviors exhibit in Dirt Rally 2; just in AC. (Noting that Dirt Rally 2.0 runs "natively" with Steam Proton, whereas AC requires that whole complicated .NET install and config.)

I'm running it under Linux Mint (21 I think).

Any ideas?

I thought maybe it's a calibration thing, and saw folks (not Linux users) putting a LUT in their AC config. I tried doing that w/ Windows 10 running in a [Oracle] VM, but no dice. WheelCheck doesn't seem to do anything. I can't update the firmware using the Logitech app, because if I disconnect/reconnect the wheel per the update instructions, the VM won't recognize that the wheel has been reconnected. So I gave up doing anything via the VM. (Note that the only Win10 installation I have is in a VM.)

I recently started playing the Batman Arkham series and the game uses mouse scrolling on the edges to pan camera. I have additional screens on both sides of primary one with game in fullscreen. I could not find a way to trap the mouse in the middle screen without going into next monitor. Any suggestions?

With windows 10 expiring in October and my old PC not meeting the requirements I am considering a Linux OS rather than Windows LTSC.

I currently have a steam deck and have gotten used to the Linux desktop on there.

Is there a particular OS you would recommend?

I'm using Bazzite on a Onexplayer device. As the title, it's been working pretty well for weeks even though installed on an SD Card (btrfs) but suddenly this afternoon it no longer works. Any advice to debug/fix the crash. Also does it crash for you too or it's just me?

Hi all!

Asides from my AMD gpu, my desktop comes with an integrated gpu.

Now here is there fun starts. In most linux distros steam works fine and Steam boots up fine and chooses the correct gpu to run things, to my knowledge at least.

But in Debian based distros, for some reason I cannot pinpoint, Steam starts opening and closing repeatedly unless I modify the config to force to use the dedicated gpu, or I just deactivate my integrated gpu in the BIOS.

Right now I'm on Arch to avoid the issue, but if sometime in the future I wanted to migrate to something Debian based, is there any cons to having your integrated gpu deactivated?

In the past some linux users have told me to just keep my integrated gpu deactivated because they always cause trouble, but I was hoping to get a better picture.

Thank you!

Currently using tray icons reloaded and it's pretty awful. 9/10 times clicking the discord logo doesn't actually open discord. The other 8 times it opens the pop-up inside my game and then lets me open discord. Is there one that doesn't suck? Or should I just go back to Plasma? Because this is kinda grinding my gears now.

For years I've been trying Wayland on and off with dozens of distros. All of them were unresponsive buggy horrible messes. I finally found somebody with similar issues. For context, I'm on a gaming laptop. The solution was to turn integrated graphics off in the bios. Snap. Night and day.

I play a lot of The Finals and I swear it runs even better on Linux now, except this issue that's been here for a year. The threads for The Finals add and add over time, eventually grinding gameplay to a halt.

So, happy I've got a functioning desktop now but still can't play the finals. :(

I've read about the Hex Code Hack to disable EAC in Trials Rising so that it works on Linux. Has anyone tried this? If so, were you able to play online? I’d like to play this game with my brother in private sessions, but since I'm using Linux, I’d need to use this Hex Hack to disable EAC. However, this might result in a ban.

I'm trying to Run Far Cry: New Dawn on Steam and it says Uplay instalation not found, I've tried to install it through Lutris and through Protontricks, nothing seems to work, I also can't find any tutorial on how to run games from Ubi on Steam on Linux...

I recently installed Bazzite on my GPD Win 2. I previously used Manjaro but wanted to try Bazzite after hearing good things about it.

I especially wanted to try out the gamescope session like the steam deck uses, hoping it could boost my performance a little and improve the handheld pc workflow when compared to running big picture off a desktop session.

However, I find gamescope session runs significantly worse than when running on a bazzite wayland desktop session, like -20 fps worse.

Entering big picture mode from desktop steam runs buttery smooth, and running a game via gamescope using the command line from desktop steam runs smooth too. The issues only occur when using the gamescope-session.

I understand the GPD Win 2 is an older piece of tech, but shouldn’t the gamescope session run at least on par with a desktop session?

Is there any tweaks I can do to fix this?

I am not talking about lagging from computer not being able to handle games. Even with lowest graphics settings there are very serious lags but it seems after changing graphicd settings to other values couple of times, I am able to run game on highest graphics settings with good performance without having basically a slideshow.

Can you fix this or is it a expected behaviour? I have encountered such problem 3 times after installing gamen from flatpak steam and running it with proton 9.

Hey ya'll, first time posting. I'm having issues trying to get this game to run.

I run LMDE 6 with updated mesa drivers so I can play the latest games. My setup has worked pretty flawlessly for my 3 years of using this distro, it being able to run my entire Steam / GOG library via Proton, up until trying to run this particular game.

The game is able to launch in Heroic and run through the splash screens, but after about 5 seconds, the error in the image occurs. I have tried different Proton versions via ProtonUpQt, different kernels (backport stock 6.12.12 from Debian and 6.14 liquorix), and even used my old GPU (6700 XT, current one is a 7800 XT) but it does not get past this screen.

It all results in the same error. Is it an issue with the game itself, or perhaps something else? I can try to provide additional info if needed. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
