Hello, I'm using archlinux with xfce, today when I tried to run steam shortcut, it gave me the error:
Failed to execute child process /usr/bin/steam-runtime (no such file or directory)

I immediately ran steam from terminal and worked fine, removed the old steam shortcut from panel and added a new one which worked.

Noticed that the shortcut no longer says steam-runtime like it used to, now just says steam.

Question is, does this have to do with steam changing dependencies? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, just want to know why this changed after I did a system update, thanks!

I've tried both online and offline matches, and at least twice per match, the game will suddenly appear to minimize and close, like I hit alt f4 or something. Absolutely no noticeable freezing or anything, just poof gone. Anyone seen this issue before?

I recently upgraded the PC, and ran Nvidia 560 drivers, which I tried to downgrade to 550 (I couldn't get the driver to downgrade), and then I tried running 570. No luck

I've got an EVGA 2060 paired with a core i5 12400f.

Even if you haven't seen this issue happen before, any advice on troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

I am a newcomer to Linux, having recently switched my gaming PC from Windows to Linux Mint in anticipation of the impending end of support for Win10. However, I have run into an issue. While some of my games are running fine, others are not.

Europa Universalis IV and Hearts of Iron IV are not launching on start up. While I can see the launchers just fine, when I click the play button they crash. I don't even get to see the loading screen, it just goes straight to the desk top and the paradox crash report window. I don't have any mods active.

The other problem is with Total War and Tabletop simulator, which both are able to launch but run at extremely low frame rates and struggle to load.

I've had similar problems before when I was on Windows and my GPU died where Total War ran like a slide show and the paradox games would crash, though when that happened they crashed on the loading screen and had a window saying they couldn't run do to lack of GPU memory or some such. I thought I might be having a problem with my GPU's compatibility with Linux and tried using different drivers to no effect. I've also checked online and it seems like my GPU should be compatible. I also thought the problem might be with the compatibility layer or that I might have downloaded a Windows version of the games by mistake but this doesn't seem to be the case. Admittedly, I'm not very technologically literate and am completely new to Windows so I might have missed something that will be obvious to those more knowledgable, hence why I'm asking here.

I'm using Linux Mint 22.1 'Xia'

My GPU is an MSI GeForce GTX 1650 128-Bit 4-GB

My CPU is an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor

Thanks for the help in advance.

Howdy yall, I'm not one to use reddit but I wanted to create this account to ask for any advice if someone had any.

Recently I got a new headset, I haven't had one for a while since I've been too broke to afford one and my monitor can output audio well, but I got one recently, however its had some issues with Marvel Rivals. For whatever reason now the Voice Chat doesn't work at all in Marvel Rivals, both for myself and my teammates, aswell as my audio for every tab cutting out randomly after playing rivals for a couple of hours.

With myself I can't use my microphone for whatever reason, I've changed around settings but nothings really affected that yet, but more importantly I can't hear my teammates mics consistently either, only playing their mics a few seconds before cutting anything off for multiple minutes at a time. It makes it hard to communicate.

The Audio cutting is also weird, I've never had it happen outside of when I've had Marvel Rivals open, whenever I'm doing something else everything works perfectly fine, but after a while with Rivals opens my other tabs audio will cut completely and I don't understand why.

If anyone has any advice for this, it would be greatly appreciated. My distro is Ubuntu 24.04 as a note, if there's any other information I can provide than tell me.

Again, thank you.

With today's patch, I've seen the return of the issue where I'll be getting 100+ fps then down to 0 instantly and then back up again every few minutes. The game will freeze for a moment and then I'll be teleported to where I should be. Do not have the experimental shaders setting on. Anyone know the fix for it?

Hello guys, I am surprised this topic is not being talked about more often. DLSS 4 is supposed to be vastly superior to the previous models, so it's a bit strange almost nobody mentions it here.

As far as I know, Windows users are able to force DLSS 4 via the Nvidia App or DLSS Swapper. Unfortunately, neither are available on Linux.

So how can we even force DLSS 4 in Linux games?

Is it possible I may be using DLSS4 already? For example, I am playing Cyberpunk 2077 through Heroic Games Launcher. Do you think it may already have DLSS 4 or not?

I have noticed that Windows users have the option in the in-game settings to choose between CNN and Transformer. I don't seem to have that option available. Why is that?

And how do I make DLSS 4 work for other games?

So the update to DirectStorage 1.2.3 in TU1 broke the game.
I've seen the workaround of changing the files dstoragecore.dll and dstorage.dll to the previous version, that works but I think it's even better to change them to 1.2.4 now that they are available.
How to get them:
Go to https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Direct3D.DirectStorage
Click download package on the right, change the downloaded file extension from .nupkg to .zip, then go to the Native folder, Bin, x64, and copy the two DLLs to your game's root folder, replacing the files that are already there.
The only tinkering I did is using proton experimental.

Recently switched to 100% linux. I don’t want to deal with dual booting or VM just to tweak my mouse. I have two needs for a mouse;

1) It needs to have the ability to setup a function layer. A legit function layer. Not mapping to ctrl alt or meta. My Razer basilisk has this, but I can’t edit the onboard memory anymore. My old (dead) Roccat also had this. Being able to do Fn + mousewheel to control volume is a muscle memory thing I’ve had in my life for almost 15 years now.

2) I need to be able to remap in Linux.

Does anything like this exist? I don’t think Logitech has function layers. Razer is all Windows. I don’t know about Corsair, Glorious or Turtlebeech.

Thanks for any advice.

Howdy,
I finally "finished" installing Fedora 41 and was planning to try out some games.
I installed 5 games that have a Platinum rating on ProtonDB, but only 2 out of 5 of those games launched.
The other 3 started "launching" but after ~3 seconds or so just returned to the green Play button without doing anything.
I have the "Enable Steam Play for all other titles" turned on and I even installed a program called ProtonUp-Qt and tried a couple different Proton versions, but it didn't change anything.
Do I need another 3rd party program to actually run the games?

I just downloaded a game in a zip file and when i extract it (i click the right button on the mouse and Extract to) and try to play it, it says the file is missing. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if I'm missing something (i have proton, i have bottles)

I apologize if this has been answered before, but I can’t find anything for my situation specifically. I’m running Left 4 Dead 2 on Batocera via Steam Flatpak. I downloaded a Split screen add on and it shows up in the game menu under add ons, Console developer and game pad are enabled, but it’s not showing up on the main menu after I’ve checked it. All tutorials I’ve found say to just check the box and you’re good to go. Any help is appreciated!

This is the name of the mod: SFKTeam's custom menu (splitscreen!)

The Marvel Rivals season two update seems to have broken the launcher on Proton. Not sure what the devs did. It hangs while trying to start processes.

This issue is specific to the launcher so it does not affect Steam Decks, since they bypass it. We can also bypass the launcher on other distros with the following launch options:

SteamDeck=1 %command%

Hope this helps!

Just as the title says. I did't even know there was a NetEase launcher that I had to click in order to play the game.

I always clicked the Steam Play button and send me directly to the compiling shaders screen. No custom commands on Steam, the only different thing is I use Mesa 25.1.0 devel as it works best with my GPU but as far as i know that doesn't affect the way the game behaves apart frome the rendering.

Here are my specs and some data if it helps.

Mesa 25.1.0-devel
Proton experimental-bleeding-edge-9.0-184954-202

OS: Nobara Linux 41 (KDE) (Wayland)

CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 5 5600X
GPU: Intel® Arc™ A750 Graphics (DG2)
RAM DDR4: 2 x 16 GB KINGSTON FURY 3200 Mhz

I am interested in testing the new Shader Compilation Mode but as fas as I know that can only be activated on the NetEase launcher.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi All,

Recently built a new PC and threw a fresh SSD into the old one with the intent to install Linux. I'm wanting to connect it permanently to our living room TV for light Steam gaming, WoW, and show streaming through Amazon, etc.

I've tinkered with Linux in the past so I'm confident I can get it setup if you guys can steer me in the right direction distro wise.

The PC is two or three years old with an AMD chip and 3060 GPU.

Is there anything else I should consider?

Thanks!

Hello my friend and I are on Linux trying to play no hesi server on assetto corsa. I have an rtx 3050 ryzen 5 7535HS and 8 gigs of ram. My friend has an rtx 2060 ryzen 5 2600 and 16 gigs of ram. On windows the game ran fine however every time we load into the server our fps never gets out of the 15-20 fps range and its consistent. Changing some of the graphics settings don’t seem to do anything. He is using bazzite and I’m on arch Linux with all drivers properly installed etc. anyone have any ideas? My fps on windows on this server was close to 60-70 fps same for him as well. I’m aware this is heavy on ram and my ram is very lacking for this day and age but I have a 64 gig swap file and it’s the same issue with him and he has 16 gigabytes.

literally the only thread I found was this and it didn't solve anything.

So I bought those replacements with hall effect, payed a lot of money for replacing them (as a 3rd worlder) and now I get home to find that they drift more than stock ones (fuck my life).

So now I am looking for a way set up deadzones that does not require me to run something that replaces my controller each time I want to use.

I tried jscal,it literally does nothing and forgets my configuration after disconnecting (yes, I know how to rtfm). I wanted to try KDE plasma's built in configuration, but there's no such option.
