Hello,

I tried it on my own, but since I could not find what to do on linux specifically I unpacked the files into the FNV folde, launched the nvse_loader.exe with wine and it just crashed. So now I have fresh installation of FNV and I patched it with the FNV 4GB Patcher .

The reason I am doing it is to fix the tab out.

thx

So,I am on Windows 11 23H2 and I am aware this subreddit is for linux gaming,but dxvk is a tool mostly used for linux,which is why I am asking here. The game always crashes in cutscenes. I am on dxvk 2.7 right now and am not sure what the issue is. I am open to trying any forks like async and gplasync. I am using dxvk because I have terrible specs - Intel Core i5 1135G7+Iris Xe iGPU+16GB 3200MHz RAM,and Windows 11 doesn't help. The game does run at low settings 30fps without dxvk but I want more stable fps and maybe get textures to medium.

Hi,

My understanding of MangoHud is that by interposing (LD_PRELOAD and/or vulkan layers) between the Vulkan (or OpenGL) driver and the application (i.e. game run through wine/Proton or native), it will be responsible to decide which V-Sync algorithm to use.

Questions:

1. If I don't set the V-Sync option, will MangoHud default to 0, which is Adaptive in Vulkan and Off in OpenGL?
2. When using MangoHud, will the application be ever be in control of setting V-Sync and behave as prescribed? I.e. Apart locking the FPS, the application won't be responsible for anything else (which methodology) to employ?
3. I found out the best way to get frame perfect smooth games is to set VRR on my monitor/GPU drivers (Nvidia) and turn on V-Sync. When using MangoHud, will I have to sect vsync=0 for this to happen, am I right? If I weren't, would MangoHud use the Adaptive which isn't as precise as On?
4. By setting V-Sync in MongoHud, shall I leave it off at application level? Will MangoHud (understandably) enforce the chosen V-Sync algorithm?

Thanks!

The option isn't there for me, they did mention in the patch notes that it'll only be there if your GPU supports it, does proton need to be updated for this?

Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 24.04.2 lts and I've seen that wuthering waves now works while using custom proton 10.8 upwards. However after following the guide on installing everything I'm getting a quick black screen followed by by a window with a title of "the ue4-clie(...)"(not visible since the window is tiny) and a text of "fatal error!". Tried both 10.8 and 10.9 and verifying files as well as completely reinstalling the game. Same error every time. Anyone has had this and found a way to fix it? Thanks in advance

From what I understand, a lot of common Anti Cheats like Battleye, Easy Anti Cheat, and so on are all compatible with Linux - but it is entirely up to the developers of a game to enable support for their Anti Cheat to run on Linux.

And that they have to do little, if anything, other than enabling it to run on Linux.

Like whats the fucking deal? If Linux users made more noise about it in the games forum or community, could it actually do anything? Or is it genuinely easier and better PR to continue beating the dead horse of "Linux is used for cheating" mantra?

I just don't get it. I can understand not putting in the effort to make a Linux version of a game, but going out of your way to not allow the AC to run seems daft.

Newcomers may not know this, but this whole Proton steam tech and Linux gaming boom, is due largely in part to this person https://github.com/doitsujin and those who help on the project. Including Valve.

Valve was definitely the catalyst by hiring him to essentially pay for this development. They were definitely a big part of the success. But we should all be thankful to that person for coming up with DXVK in the first place.

I know it sounds counterintuitive, Edge isn’t FOSS and it has antiuser microsoft at the helm, but hear me out. If you’re diving into WebGL games like Krunker.io, Shell Shockers, or other browser-based shooters, you need every last millisecond of frame-time savings. Ladybird and other open-source browsers aren’t going to be gaming-ready for years, so here’s a battle-tested stopgap: a heavily-hardened, gaming-focused Microsoft Edge build on Linux. It crushes Firefox, Brave, and even niche Chromium forks under heavy JS loads, streaming overlays, and WebGL rendering.

1. Why Edge for WebGL Gaming?

• Leaner V8 JavaScript engine tweaks Edge stays under memory pressure when you’ve got a stream, Discord overlay, and dozens of tabs open.
• UFS-style GPU scheduling (inherited from Chrome) that maximizes your GPU’s WebGL throughput.
• Smart flags that eliminate frame caps, VSync stalls, and redundant background chatter.

2. Core Hardening & Privacy

1. AdNauseam from GitHub it randomizes clicks to poison ad-tracker profiles.
2. Lock your search engine to a private Searx instance:
   • Edit ~/.config/microsoft-edge/Default/Preferences → set your Searx search provider.
   • chmod 444 Preferences to prevent Edge from auto-reverting.
3. Pack + sideload extensions via Developer Mode, then block their update URLs so Edge can’t yank them out.

3. Launch Flags for Maximum FPS

Add this alias to your .zshrc or .bashrc:

alias edge='microsoft-edge \ --disable-background-networking \ --no-default-browser-check \ --no-first-run \ --disable-frame-rate-limit \ --disable-gpu-vsync \ --enable-features=WebGL2ComputeContext \ --ignore-gpu-blacklist'

• --disable-frame-rate-limit removes the 60 FPS cap.
• --disable-gpu-vsync lets your GPU push frames as fast as possible.
• --enable-features=WebGL2ComputeContext unlocks advanced shaders in WebGL2 titles.

4. Consistent Launch with a .desktop Entry

Create ~/.local/share/applications/edge-gaming.desktop:

[Desktop Entry] Name=Edge Gaming Exec=microsoft-edge --profile-directory="Default" \ --disable-background-networking \ --disable-frame-rate-limit \ --disable-gpu-vsync \ --ignore-gpu-blacklist Icon=microsoft-edge Type=Application Categories=Network;WebBrowser;

This guarantees your gaming flags never get dropped by a normal Edge launcher.

5. Next-Level Isolation & Security

• Firejail sandboxing: firejail --profile=/etc/firejail/chromium.profile microsoft-edge
• DNS hardening with dnscrypt-proxy to block ad/tracker domains at the network level.
• Host your own Searx mirror for search privacy without third-party metadata leaks.

Results

• Krunker.io: +20 FPS vs. Firefox Quantum under identical settings.
• Shell Shockers: 15% lower frame-time jitter when streaming at 1080p on OBS.
• General WebGL: Faster tab switching, near-zero jank when loading heavy JavaScript assets.

Who’s ready to turn Edge into the leanest, meanest WebGL gaming browser on Linux? Drop a comment if you want my dotfiles, script snippets, or extra flag combos your competitive edge is one alias away.

Just installed bazzite to an external drive to mess around with and see how everything works as I’m getting tired of dealing with windows. Is there any way to increase my Rx 9070s power limit in bazzite? I tried LACT but it seems to max out at the default 245 watts. Is there something else I can try? In windows within the amd control pannel I can set the power limit to +10% (270 watts). I really want to try and switch to Linux but if I can’t increase the power limit that would be a deal breaker for me as I want to get the most performance from my gpu that I can. Help is greatly appreciated.

I have an old Razer Orbweaver I would like to start using again, but I am struggling to find a good way to rebind the keys on it. The Orbweaver is the last Razer product I still have, everything else I have is Corsair and ckb-next is excellent. I would love to have an equivalent for Razer.
I've tried all of the associated OpenRazer tools (razercommander, polychromatic, razergenie) and they all seem to just control lighting. Input remapper probably can do what I want, but it is being quite problematic and with its generic name it is hard to search for fixes.
I even tried writing what I wanted with pyautogui before realizing that it doesn't work on wayland.

Anyone have any suggestion?

Cheers

Microsoft had a complete stranglehold on the PC gaming market and a spineless US government that wouldn't break them up like Standard Oil. The US government basically worked for them and other large corporations with large lobbying budgets. They were in a perfect position to keep exploiting PC gaming for decades.

Now Linux with Wine and Proton is ready to be a Windows killer for anyone willing to spend the time to learn how to use a new OS. I would say that learning to use Linux Mint was as easy as learning to use a Mac. The start of that was when Microsoft open sourced the DirectX source code. I wouldn't be surprised if HarmonyOS is also using Proton and Wine in China to bring about a mass exodus from Windows.

Why did Microsoft open source the DirectX source code?

Hi all,

I'm trying to play steam games on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (fresh OS install today). From what I've seen online, the default windowing protocol (X11) causes my games to run at the refresh rate of my slower secondary monitor (60Hz) despite my primary monitor being capable of 240Hz. I've seen that switching to Wayland should allow my games to run at 240Hz on my primary monitor. When I switched to Wayland, my games' refresh rates would drop to ~12 FPS (potato games that should be running at hundreds of FPS) with about a second of input latency. I suspect it has something to do with how my system is configured (I haven't configured anything on this Ubuntu install yet), but I'm having a hard time tracking down what configuration needs to change. Does anyone know what could fix this?

System info:

Ryzen 5 5600X

Nvidia RTX 3070 (driver version 575.64.03)
