Hi!

I am having an admittedly weirdly specific issue with Trackmania 2020. I installed it through steam, and I tried to play on my gaming pc. It ran fine on my gaming laptop and has gold on protondb.com, so I figured it should work. And as far as I can tell, it does. It runs smooth, high fps, all is well, until i crash the car into a wall or land from being airborne, which immediately freezes the game. The engine noise continues playing, but the picture is completelt frozen. After a few minutes it unfreezes, after which ingame the time has only advanced about 15-20 seconds.

Things I have tried: - Using a different Compositor/DE - Reinstalling the game - Running in a clean proton prefix - Different Proton Version - Proton GE instead of Steams - Switching from Kernel Module nvidia drivers to proprietary - Running in gamescope (doesn't work at all) - Running with and without letting shader precompilation finish

Any ideas what could cause this very specific behaviour? It is completely reliably reproducable. Any pointers? :)

Hey everyone,

So I love Linux. I tried Bazzite and had an awesome time. The only reason I switched back to Windows was because I couldn’t get the Lian Li LCD fans to work on Linux. I had them displaying temps and load. It annoyed me so I switched back to Windows.

Is there any way to get the software / hardware to work on Linux?

What I tried: Launch parameters for the game in Steam. It didn't even start.

If I start the game and set the ingame resolution, the resolution appears to be reduced, but in reality it is just downscaled. Mangohud still shows the native resolution.

This applies to Wayland and X11 with an Nvidia card.

I tried turning on force pipeline, but it didn't help.

I'm using Ubuntu 25.04, GE-Proton 10.10. Steam 1.0.0.82, a DX11 game, Nvidia 575, kernel 6.14, ntsync.

I don't have any anti-aliasing turned on. At least not in the game.

What I didn't try: Compile gamescope and try it through it.

Is there any other way to force DXVK so that the game actually changes the resolution?

I was primarily a windows pc gamer, now I'm only using win11 on my gaming laptop and on my old setup I decided to install pop os ( was reccomended to me by a fellow linux gamer ) and steam. My setup is so much faster most of the time. Got reccomended to check protondb as well.

I've tried multiple different runners without avail, the only runner that gets me past the login is `wine-ge-proton8-26`, after that I'm stuck on "Battle.net Update Agent went to sleep. Attemptin to wake it up..."

Hello dear community,

Since ive started using Linux (KDE Neon) ive run into this kind of artifact in some games. I havent tried tons of games. So this one and Inzoi were the ones ive noticed it in.

Im using an AMD system.

Does anyone else experience that or maybe has some ideas how to fix it?

Also sorry for my english and grammar. English isnt my main language.

Thanks everyone in advance. :D

Hi, I’m new to Linux gaming and recently started using Nobara. I’m confused about all this FSR stuff — like FSR 2, FSR 3, frame generation, and even FSR 4 (is that real yet?).

I mainly want to improve FPS in single-player games like:

• Red Dead Redemption 2
• GTA V
• Cyberpunk 2077
• Battlefield 1

I’m running these through Proton-GE or sometimes through Wine.

How do I enable FSR 3 or frame generation in these games? Do I need mods, reshade, or special Proton builds? And is there any way to try FSR 4 yet?

Also, what’s the best method to force upscaling or framegen in games that don’t support it natively?

Any help or guides would be appreciated. Just want better performance without switching back to Windows.

Hey there!

I used to use Debian 12 with KDE X11 in summer 2024 and never really had issues with games (other than those that outright blocked Linux), but I went back to windows in winter 2024 (for other reasons) and I've honestly been missing Linux since.

I've been slowly moving back as of recently, but I've struggled with some games when playing with mouse and keyboard, as my mouse will sometimes escape the game (even though i'm fullscreen), and I'll start clicking outside the window or typing outside the window, but the game won't lose focus.

I've mostly had this issue in Dead By Daylight, but I've noticed it in other games too. It's kinda making it really hard to move most of my daily stuff to Linux as I game a lot after work, and trying to test games will probably be affected by this too.

Another thing to note, I've tried gamescope for Dead By Daylight, but when the EAC window closes, the game doesn't open and Steam says the game isn't open.

Thanks!
