I'm sorry if this is not the appropriate place to ask, but if you know where it would be please tell me!

I've been trying recently to use the Steamworks API for my app, but everytime I do, the app crashes after a few seconds. I've made a minimalistic reproduction repository here:

https://github.com/PaulCombal/steamworks-linux-poc

I have no clue whether it's a problem with the API itself, or the way I use it. Either way, if you are a Rust or Steam guru, or know one, let me know if you're interested in taking the challenge!

Hi everyone, I've switched to Linux Mint recently and I can't get Last Epoch to launch. I've tried different Proton versions but it crashes everytime on the first loading screen. Anyone experienced the same and figured out a way to fix it ? Thanks

OS: Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS
KERNEL: 6.12.10-76061203-generic
CPU: 12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900K

GPU DRIVER: NVIDIA 570.133.07

I am uncertain what "fixed" this for me in Schedule I (haven't tested FS25 yet).

Using ProtonTricks I opened the Schedule I Proton Wine Prefix and Changed its settings.

grabfullscreen=y
graphics=x11
mwo=disabled
win11

I will be going backwards to see if I can identify specifically which setting resolved my issue. My gut tells me grabfullscreen=y or graphics=x11.

---

I have experienced this issue in Farming Simulator 25 and Schedule I. The issue specifically is that once you load into the game and are at a point where you should be able to control the camera with the mouse and look around, the camera will slightly shift in whatever direction you try and then snap back to an origin point.

I've tried numerous Proton versions and launch options. I did fight to get gamescope installed to my system (it isn't easy to do on Pop for some absurd reason) and that doesn't resolve the issue. In FS25 I was able to look about, but the cursor wasn't captured to the window and thus made the game difficult to play.

My solution for FS25 was to play with controller for now. Schedule I does not support controller. Another Pop_OS user reported that the game worked "out of the box without modifications" on ProtonDB, but there is no way for me to chat with this person. I call BS on that claim as it absolutely doesn't work out of the box and I would love to know what they've done to get the game to work.

If anyone else has experienced this issue and found a resolution, I would appreciate if you could share. I do already have the following launch commands in as this seems to make most, if not all Unity games behave better if it is used.

LD_PRELOAD="" gamemoderun %command%

I will be trying more troubleshooting, but I'm beginning to think that once this is experienced it is just a game that cannot be played in Pop_OS Epoch 6 COSMIC.

Thank you in advance to anyone who may be able to assist.

When I try to launch a game with proton (Viewfinder - which is supposed to work great!) my whole computer slows down to a crawl, even thought it doesn't show many resources being used. The app never launches, too. Games that use Steam Play work fine (for example Limbo). Big picture view is practically unusable with the lag.

Specs:

Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS

DELL Precision 7730

GPU: NVIDIA Quadro P3200 Mobile (NVIDIA 550 drivers)

CPU: Intel i7-8850H (12) @ 4.3GHz

RAM: 32 Gb

So, as the title goes, it surely isn't that hard. After releasing the game on Steam, we occasionally received requests to support Linux. After finishing all the content updates and looking for what to do next, we thought it would be cool to try and port the full game to Linux as well, and it was a quick and pleasant experience. There were a few shaders that delayed the release a bit, but after some shenanigans, we managed to fix them alongside just a few other graphics glitches.

The Linux community was so thankful and supportive that we will surely try to port any other future games as well, even if they won't sell well.

The game is called Bosorka. We are a self-published small studio and that's our first release on Linux. If you are interested in seeing what the game is all about, you can find it on Steam, for example: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2118370/Bosorka/

Hi everyone,
I'm new to Ubuntu and recently installed version 24.04. I installed Steam, but I'm having an issue when launching it using my dedicated GPU.

Basically, when I try to open Steam with the dedicated GPU, the app doesn't work — I can see the Steam icon in the top bar, but I can't interact with it at all. On the other hand, if I launch it using the integrated GPU, everything works fine.

I'm using a laptop with an NVIDIA MX150.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a solution?

Thanks in advance!

TL;DR: It used to be steam-runtime but is now just steam as of about a week ago.

I spent about an hour last night trying to figure out why my living room PC wouldn't boot into my custom Steam BPM session. I thought it was because of a recent upgrade to Linux 6.14. Then I thought it might've been a failed DKMS module. Eventually I realized that the Steam executable was just renamed and none of my logs were showing that.

Hope this saves someone else some time and headache!

Now this blending of ideas looks damn cool. Moonsigil Atlas looks like it really warps deckbuilders into something quite unique, and I can't wait to check this one out.

Linux noobie for the most part, picked bazzite because I liked the gaming focus and "just works" type of setup (although I do like tweaking and stuff, just wanted something simple to start with)

Anyways chose img to install from desktop and with gnome as the desktop mode. Install was pretty straightforward and I was even able to do some searching around and get LACT installed and working for my 9070, got Helldivers working and all that. So pretty happy

however, it doesn't seem that my wifi/BT card is installed or seen at all. I have an ASUS B650m-e WIFI, which I would assume would be both modern enough to have support, while not being cutting edge enough to not have drivers on kernel yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this working?

I have fast boot off and am not dual booting

Pas Game Studio recently revealed the freaky looking Horripilant. A game that combines elements of an idler, puzzle and autobattler that sees you fight, mine, and think your way through the depths of a forsaken dungeon.

Anyone please help 😭 I have tried Arch, Ubuntu and im on mint rn !

I want to play cs 2 but it shows this screen and exit to steam library 🥲

Will appreciate if anyone helps 🙏🏼

Google and perplexity have failed me, since Steam used to have an option to add another dir to your steam library. But now you can only add a “drive”?

TL;DR: I mounted win11 from my catchy OS install. Steam would add the drive, but I couldn’t dig down to where the steamapps are to use the windows install. Copying to the new location on Linux worked, but double game size no good. (It ran from the windows internal drive, but wouldn’t run from the windows location).

(On the plus side, playing poe2 from Linux is so cool).

So what do dual booters do? I also looked for a way to change the steam library location on windows (so it would be in the root of the mount point) but failed to find one.

I’m assuming Valve wouldn’t intentionally make this fubar, so I must be missing something.

Thanks for any help,

Nearly a month since the last stable update, NVIDIA have today released the 575.51.02 Beta driver that brings with it support for NVIDIA Smooth Motion on Linux along with various bug fixes. NVIDIA also formally announced the GeForce RTX 5060 series.

My friend is on Windows and when I remote play to him, it he sees this:

https://preview.redd.it/om3q3x1pn7ve1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=9c0382c525a4e8f586072683fc6a83ebf865ad11

I don't know why this happens I tested with other friends too and they also saw the same thing, even on other games. I didn't have this always, rn I have intel arc b580 and the game looks normal for me, but for my friend it isn't. Before I had a GTX 1660 ti and then it was normal, so I'm just wondering if any of you have the same problem or a solution to it.

I'm not a English speaker, so I used Google Translate. Sorry.

I was able to play the game without any problems but

As the title says, I quit the steam game like 'kingdom come deliverance 2' and it's still taking up a lot of memory

Before running the game on my computer, the OS took up 1.9 GB of memory, but when I quit the game, the OS took up 7-8 GB of memory still.

I verified that the game process was completely killed

I have a fresh install of Linux on my laptop, so I don't have any other programs running in the background except Steam.

This is my information.

I am using Ubuntu 24.10 and up until this point I was rocking AMD card, but today, I got rtx 5070, and Ubuntu driver manager says there are no drivers to install. I installed latest drivers via synaptic, but it doesn't seem to work still. Why is this happening?

And no, card is not bricked, I tested on windows partition - works flawlessly.

Thank you!
