Hey there,

Since my laptop is way too weak and old for the Remastered version, I've installed OG Oblivion in Bottles and Morrowind in OpenMW.

Both games run quite ok but suffer from extremely high mouse speed in menus that make them unusable.

I tried changing mouse accel settings in GNOME, disabling them, changing MouseWarp settings in Bottles, changed Mouse Sensitivity in Oblivion.ini - all to no avail, mouse speed never changes at all in the game menus.

I've googled for a while and I couldn't find a solution. Maybe someone here had the same problem and knows what I could do? I'm not really looking for workarounds (like just use Steam, use Lutris, use another DE, don't use a fucking Apple laptop etc :D I know I could just use other hardware and software but I'd really like to get this running on this laptop with Bottles/wine)

Since both Morrowind and Oblivion have the same issue, with only Oblivion running through wine and other unrelated games not having this problem on this laptop, I kinda suspect the games themselves to be the issue here, but I'm not sure

Laptop: MacBook Pro 13 inch 2015, Intel Core i5-5257U, openSUSE TW, GNOME (Wayland). Resolution: 1680 x 1050 (no scaling)

Bottles config: Win11 64-bit "gaming" bottle, soda runner, dxvk (Bottles installed via flatpak). 32bit bottle or other windows versions don't change anything

Game: Oblivion/Morrowind (GOG versions), vanilla, no mods

So when playing on the steam version of overwatch my game would sometimes randomly shutdown. I tried different proton versions and in game settings but to no avail

Fix is to download it through lutris and install it through battle.net.

Context:

I installed the modpack by running its setup file in bottles and installing it to the root of the retail CD version of the game (with the no CD ROM Patch). It installed successfully. Then I manually added the game to Lutris and used wine-ge, and set the wine prefix in a folder I had created for storing my wine prefix and the game files at it's root and set the executable to the GTALauncher.exe inside the game folder. Then I saw that some of the files of the retail version were read only for my user, so I made them read/write. I start the launcher and open the "Settings" window in it to configure some of the modpack's custom settings. Then I start the game and when it launches, I can change the game's preferences just fine. However, the game crashes a bit into the opening cutscene, when I start a new game.

What I've Tried:

I've installed Silent Patch and Silent Patch DDraw after googling the error, because it was one of the fixes I got when googling for my issue, but the fix was for the unmodded retail version of the game, but I reckoned that I'd might work and tried it, but it didn't fix the issue.

My System Information:

Distro: Ultramarine/ Fedora 42 Kernel: Linux 6.14.2-300.fc42.x86_64 GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4400 (HSW GT2) GPU Driver: mesa-dri-drivers. mesa-va-drivers, mesa-vulkan-drivers Display Server: Wayland Gamescope: No VRR: No DE: GNOME 48.1 Lutris Package: Distro Repositories

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I downloaded Sober through flatpak and I want to uninstall it now. Whenever I run the command to uninstall it I get the same message: "Failed to uninstall org.vinegarhq.Sober: Flatpak system operation Uninstall not allowed for user" I am using the Linux feature through ChromeOS and I don't know what to do.

Hey everyone!

I’m a Computer Science student and I'm transitioning to Linux Mint as my main operating system. I want to embrace the CLI and use Linux for development purposes, but I still enjoy gaming on Windows (especially some games that are harder to run on Linux / take a performance hit). So, I’ve decided to dual-boot Windows and Linux.

I’m trying to figure out the best way to split my drives and partitions to optimize both Linux and Windows while keeping everything organized. Here’s what I have:

• 1 TB NVMe SSD (Gen 4): I plan to use this primarily for Linux Mint, but I’m unsure how much to allocate for the OS and development tools, as well as if I should leave any space for Windows games.
• 500 GB SATA SSD: I plan to use this for Windows 10 OS and games.
• 500 GB HDD: This will be for shared storage (NTFS or exFAT), where I can access data and potentially install older games from both Linux and Windows.

A few specific questions:

1. Should I embrace the Linux gaming experience and leave all 1 TB for Linux (Proton and Wine: never tried them btw, had only a working Linux laptop not for gaming)?
2. How should I partition the 1 TB NVMe SSD? Is it better to allocate most of it to Linux Mint and use a smaller part (~300 GB) for Windows, or should I leave it all for Linux and leave games on the SATA SSD?
3. Should I leave the HDD as a shared data partition for both Windows and Linux? Or should I dedicate it to one OS for storage and backup purposes? And also, what should I format it as: NTFS or exFAT?
4. Any issues with drivers (looking at you NVIDIA) with partitions and dual boot?

I’m trying to make the best use of my hardware and avoid unnecessary waste of space or performance bottlenecks. Would love to hear some insights or suggestions from others with similar setups!

Thanks in advance!

So, I got an XFX 9070 XT for close to MSRP by a miracle. Ive been running ubuntu for years now, I was on nvidia though. So I knew I'd get issues just swapping out the cards and booting back up, but I tried anyway. At first I was pleasantly surprised, both monitors were usable, but there were problems that slowly added up. I did the purge nvidia command to clean it up, and rebooted. That didnt solve anything, here were the strange behaviours I had: - cursor on second screen was invisible (it would work, I could figure out its location and click/drag, it was just invisible)

• main monitor was capped at 4k 60hz, prior to this I had no issues running 4k 120hz. Option simply wasn't there

• opening and closing programs would cause a solid freeze to happen for a few seconds, every single time. Clicking on windows to tab between them would also cause it to freeze up, but using alt + tab was fine

I figured it wasn't too bad for having installed nothing, so I started doing the recommendations I'd already seen. Updating the kernel, and installing the latest mesa driver. I was on 6.11 at the time, but I tried upgrading anyway. That seemed to work perfectly, so I moved onto the mesa driver... And it three a couple errors about kernel version, but still finished. I rebooted and... Completely broken. I was down to one monitor only instead of two,a very low resolution and 60hz. Clearly a very basic video driver. But it meant my steps to polish the driver had made everything worse than when I took it out of the box and did nothing.

Thats where I am now, any attempts to reinstall the driver made no impact and I just gave up quickly. I'm running a windows partition while I wait for it to get polished, but in the meantime are there any obvious steps that should be done besides the kernel and mesa driver? I've never used an AMD card before, let alone on Linux. So it was the first time I'd even heard of a mesa driver.

Has anyone got it working flawlessly, or very few flaws on ubuntu?Specificallyy with kubuntu installed if that makes any difference

I'm on Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop and had installed steam from the konsole using (sudo dnf install steam)
I'm just trying to run Celeste, the native Linux version without Proton, from my drive (which I got working form a last post; thank you all) but it just won't boot.
I made sure Steam has access to the drive (done from the last post) so I know it can read and write.
I tested a game on my local drive, and those won't load either.
My GPU has support for Vulkan too if that matters.

This might be a very dumb question, so here you go.

First of all I know that there are different anti-cheats, so I suppose different behaviors

In the case of the kernel-based anti-cheats (rootkits cough cough), I suppose in bugdows the anti-cheat gets literally installed to the kernel? or only has access to it? and in the case of linux, how does that work if first, the game is developed for the spywaredows kernel, but I suppose stuff like wine/proton is also translating stuff made from trashdows kernel to linux kernel? but if that is the case, then, my second point, is not like steam has root privileges to do whatever kernel-related things.

And for the rest of anticheats, I suppose they are user-space, they are "contained" in the wine/proton prefix, right?

Edit: grammar.

Quick context, I am an arch linux user with Plasma, I downloaded marvel rivals for a while to play with some friends, my laptop meets the hardware requirements, an intel core i7-11800H and an rtx 3060, now, 2 weeks ago I was playing this title normally (running it from steam and with the command SteamDeck = 1 % command%), due to school reasons I have not played much and today when I want to play a little marvel rivals and I try to run it, it simply stops when steam is trying to open it, without throwing me any kind of error or anything, it just stops, any solution?

Since there isn't playnite (and I doubt we will have a Linux version soon because the developers hate linux) what are your favorite front end for game libraries on Linux that are compatible with gamepad?

I just got a backbone and I'm thinking on stream my games via moonlight to my phone, I know there is the steam big piture but on river (a wm) is so buggy. I know I can create a session mimicking a steam deck, I have made that in the past on arch but now I use void and the package is not available here

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I can't find a clear answer anywhere.

I recently bought Beat Hazard 2 heavily discounted and it works great with Proton. The one minor issue that I'm having is that it reads location from Windows settings and displays flags on user profiles accordingly. I'm getting a US flag and would quite like to exchange it for the correct one for my country.

Per title, can I do anything with the Proton prefix to alter this setting?

Thanks!

Like many of you I've been enjoying Oblivion Remastered, but I was surprised by how resource intensive the game is (for Reference I currently have a RTX 3080).

I noticed someone in another thread mentioned they performed the DLSS 4 swap for Cyberpunk, so I decided to figure out how to do this for Oblivion Remastered. This should hopefully help performance by providing a more recent version of DLSS that provides better performing / quality up-scaling.

Note: I believe this same approach can be used for other games that ship with DLSS.

Prerequisites:

• Nvidia Linux Driver 570+ (I'm currently running nvidia-open 570.144-1 on arch
• Proton Experimental ("Bleeding Edge" Beta)

Note: you have to opt into the "Bleeding Edge" beta for Proton Experimental so you get a version of Proton that ships with the latest version of DXVK-NVAPI (only more recent versions support passing in driver parameters and downloading the DLSS DLLs to your proton prefx)

Process:

There are a few ways you can accomplish this:

1. [Easiest] Setting environment variables for the launch options of your steam game
2. Setting environment variables in user_settings.py for you Proton installation
3. I believe CatchyOS actually provides a wrapper dlss-swapper which sets the environment variables, making this process a bit easier. It's covered in the CatchyOS release notes.

I'm going to focus on #1, as this is IMO the easiest. All you need to do is set some launch options for your steam game.

The Launch Options you want to set are:

Note: I provide some reference links at the end of this post that provide more details, but we are essentially passing in driver settings via DXVK-NVAPI.

PROTON_ENABLE_NGX_UPDATER=1 DXVK_NVAPI_DRS_SETTINGS=NGX_DLSS_RR_OVERRIDE=on,NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE=on,NGX_DLSS_FG_OVERRIDE=on,NGX_DLSS_RR_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=render_preset_latest,NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=render_preset_latest DXVK_NVAPI_SET_NGX_DEBUG_OPTIONS=DLSSIndicator=1024,DLSSGIndicator=2 %command%

Note: the DXVK_NVAPI_SET_NGX_DEBUG_OPTIONS=DLSSIndicator=1024,DLSSGIndicator=2 only needs to be set to validate that the DLSS swap worked. After this, you can set them to 0, and then finally remove them.

Here is a screenshot of my launch options for Oblivion Remastered (you can't see everything):

Setting the Launch Options for Oblivion Remastered

Once you start the game, you should notice a small overlay in the lower right hand corner.

Note: this wasn't present on the main menu, but once I loaded a save and jumped into the game I was able to see this overlay.

• The version of DLSS that Oblivion Remastered ships with is 3.7.20.
• The latest DLSS version is 310.2.1 (DLSS 4)

If you see 310.2.1 then you've successfully swapped the DLSS DLL that shipped with the game with the latest version of the DLSS DLL. Theoretically by setting these env variables, future new releases of the DLSS DLLs should downloaded automatically. Here's what I see after setting the Launch Options:

Confirmation of the DLSS Swap. 310.2.1 is the Latest Version (DLSS 4)

Incidentally it's cool to see that the game is rendering @ 1920x1280, but up-scaling to 3840x2560, insane!

Removing the Overlay

Now that you've confirmed that you've successfully performed the swap, you can remove the overlay. All you have to do is update the Launch Options to:

PROTON_ENABLE_NGX_UPDATER=1 DXVK_NVAPI_DRS_SETTINGS=NGX_DLSS_RR_OVERRIDE=on,NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE=on,NGX_DLSS_FG_OVERRIDE=on,NGX_DLSS_RR_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=render_preset_latest,NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=render_preset_latest DXVK_NVAPI_SET_NGX_DEBUG_OPTIONS=DLSSIndicator=0,DLSSGIndicator=0 %command%

Specifically this portion has changed:

DXVK_NVAPI_SET_NGX_DEBUG_OPTIONS=DLSSIndicator=0,DLSSGIndicator=0

Launch the game again, and the overlay should be gone.

Note: if you want, you can remove DXVK_NVAPI_SET_NGX_DEBUG_OPTIONS=DLSSIndicator=0,DLSSGIndicator=0 altogether, you just need to launch the game at least once with the env vars =0 so that the registry settings in your Wine prefix are updated. After that you can completely remove this portion of the Launch Options.

Results:

The main thing I noticed is I can choose a more aggressive DLSS mode (Performance vs. Balanced) and the image quality looks the same. This let me eek out some better performance.

• This portion of the DXVK-NVAPI Wiki was also super helpful: https://github.com/jp7677/dxvk-nvapi/wiki/Passing-driver-settings

Updates to Proton Prefix:

For those of you that are interested, the DLSS binaries are actually downloaded to your Proton Prefix for the game. Here you can see my Proton Prefix for Oblivion Remastered:

Path = $HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/2623190/pfx/drive_c/ProgramData/NVIDIA/NGX/models/dlss/versions/...

For some reason, I cannot install anything onto an external drive via Steam and I'm wondering if it's something on my end.

I'm on Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop and I had installed Steam via GNOME software. I have the compatibility on in the settings (Proton 9.0-4) and I added the drives as storage devices but whenever I try to install something to the drive specifically, they won't install.
Installing to the main device works just fine, it only says "disk write error" whenever I try to write to the disks.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Does anyone know if this mod works on Linux? I was reading through the instructions and it looks like it's a little more in depth than your typical mod. I'm only interested in purchasing the game for the VR mod so if it doesn't work on Linux then I probably won't pick it up. PSA it's currently on sale and Steam for $23.

If you don't personally have the mod but your knowledgeable enough with Linux to read the instructions and decide for yourself whether or not it would work, please let me know. Here's the link:

To all whom it may concern, Moza Racing, Cammus, Asetek, VRS, FFBeast, PXN, LiteStar are now natively supported by Linux. Plug and play baby!

Updated hid-pidff dirver and hid-universal-pidff were upstreamed with 6.15-rc1 and backported to 6.14.3, 6.13.12, 6.12.24.

A lot more USB PID wheels will work OOTB as well with the generic driver (future Moza, Cammus etc. wheelbases, OpenFFBoard). All buttons now show up, force feedback just works. Of course, per-manufacturer configurations (rotation, additional effects, force/input curves) are a separate thing and in various levels of native support.

SteamOS will sadly be updated to 6.11 so SteamDeck still needs manual hid-universal-pidff installation.

A lot of info can be found here: https://github.com/JacKeTUs/linux-steering-wheels

Development repository: https://github.com/JacKeTUs/universal-pidff

Someone not related to development actually using Moza stuff on Linux (pre-upstreaming): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qtg_PoR_eOg

Yes, this is niche info. Yes I'm too lazy to just reboot to windows to race sometimes :D

Thank you for your time. You may resume your scrolling.

When I use Linux Mint Cinnamon, I have this issue whenever I play games on Steam. The issue being that while I have a game open, I cant use the Start/Windows key to switch to other apps. Instead, I have to alt-tab out of the game, which sometimes freezes my entire computer. The weird part is, this isnt an issue on Mate! I can press the Start/Windows key and click on any other application. The only reason I'm not using Mate is because it performs badly with 3D games (laggy). Is this the case with everyone? Id love some advice! Thanks

The game used to run flawlessly before the S2 update.

I already added the proper launch options for it to run "better", which are the "SteamDeck=1" and "PSOCompilationMode" for the alternative shader compilation mode.

The game runs stable but it has a high CPU usage, when I thought it would be more GPU dependant. Thing is, after 30~60 min playing, I get a random crash which makes me restart my whole PC.

Any possible fixes or should I just wait for them to fix the game? (They don't seem to be working on it)

EDIT: I read the game suffers from intense memory leaks, well, I have an overkill PC for it so I guess it's just borked?
