Game keeps freezing

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Apr 2025 - 7:35pm

I know this isn't a technical support forum but I'm thinking this is at least a good place to start to figure out what's wrong with my set up. I am not tech competent.

I kinda solely play Bethesda games so I have no reference if the problem is solely with fallout 4, or if the problem would recreate with other games. Sometimes during combat, or a random fast paced action happens the game freeze crashes. As in say I run to hit an enemy the game freezes and I'm unable to fix it or anything. There doesn't seem to be a mod to work around it, like crash saving. However despite the bullshit I've been able to consistently play fallout 4 for a while now, to the point where my character is somewhere in like level 120-140. So the problem catastrophically fatal, in that I'm not able to kinda work around it, however the when the problem occurs when I least want it to, IT DRIVES ME UP A FUCKING WALL.

I'm not a Linux or computer expert in anyway, so as far as I can tell there are a million reasons for the game not to be working, I posted this here to see if I might be able to pinpoint a couple of the most likely culprits.

I'm playing the game through mod organizer 2, not through steam. It is the best way for me to run the game.

I'm playing the game of the year edition I think, so it comes with mods in it. I also have a couple mods on it too. However this was happening before I ever put any mods in it.

My operating system is plain Debian bookworm, I can't recall if I changed it to sid or not I'd have to check.

I have 2 sets of ram. I can't recall right now what the speeds and latencies are.

I wasted a lot of money on the amd 7800x3d, and (?)7900 XT. I kinda just figured that would be enough to run any game I wanted, evidently not.

Kinda messed up with the mother board bought a cheaper one than I was supposed to, idek.

I got a good power supply, gold rating I think. Idk I just remember getting the right power supply for the system.

Aio cooling whatever.

Like I said I can kinda work around the problem and it's kinda fine. However I'm fairly certain it's fixable. I just have no reference as for where I should even begin, or if it's worth it. Thank you for reading my ramble, much love.

Does Wine wayland fix the issue where games don’t use the full resolution of the monitor when fractional scaling is enabled?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Apr 2025 - 6:08pm

Gamescope fixes this but seems to come with a slight performance hit that is unfortunately too much for my poor RX 9070 XT to handle at 4K60FPS

CachyOS Handheld edition: Inconsistent Black screen when switching to desktop mode from game mode

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Apr 2025 - 5:07pm

im using CachyOS handheld edition on my GPD Win 2. Works great except when using game mode and switching to desktop mode, I sometimes get a black screen and does not transistion to the desktop session. Sometimes it works but most times did not.

Researched the possible solutions:

Some people encounter this issue with decky loader plug ins. But I am not using decky loader.

Some say delete the kscreen folder in .local fixes the problem. This did not work either.

Updated to the preview brach for deck steam, did not work.

Im at my wits end. Any help would be great.

is Nvidia on linux that bad?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Apr 2025 - 4:56pm

Recently I've been deciding between an rx 7900 xtx and an rtx 4070 ti super for gaming and blender on linux. on one hand linux works better with amd when it comes to gaming but since i also want to use blender, which makes me lean towards nvidia since it beats amd in productivity with no contest. but i’ve also heard that nvidia performs worse on linux than amd when it comes to gaming. so i’m asking, is nvidia on linux that bad to the point i have to give up my dreams of being a 3d modelling artist and go all amd?

oh and sorry for making it sound dramatic at the end and also sorry for bad english lol

Lightweight OS?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Apr 2025 - 4:52pm

PLEASE READ Hey everyone, I have an AMILO-D Series CY 23 with 240MB of ram and a 20GB HDD. I have tried Damn small linux and tiny core linux, but they didn’t felt good to me. I wanted to play some old games and maybe even Minecraft, just to see how well it performed. And my lovely Arch is too big to run here :( Any advice?

Cloud save not working with Star Wars Outlaws

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Apr 2025 - 4:32pm

Trying to play Star Wars Outlaws in Steam on Cachyos. It won't sync the cloud saves. It says I'm logged into my ubisoft account, but none of my saves from Windows come over. Using Proton GE-27. Only thing I can think of would be to copy my game saves over manually, but then what I play on Linux won't sync the other way. It's nice to be able to play on other devices without having to copy game save data manually each time.

Help with sorting load order? MO2 & Skyrim

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Apr 2025 - 4:30pm

Hey hey,

I’m trying to build a modlist for Skyrim on steam deck. For the most part it’s going well and the modlist itself is actually working fine but I’m still working things out. What I’d like to do is to use LOOT to sort my order and check for any missing patches etc.

I’m currently using the internal ‘sort’ button in MO2. The trouble is it rarely seems to show the LOOT information in the window, I just get the progress bar saying it’s done and a blank white window underneath. Like once or twice I’ve had the window show the LOOT interface with info on the plugins and what needs cleaning/what needs patches etc.

I’ve had no luck getting the actual LOOT application working. I’ve installed it and got it working in MO2 but I can’t get it to detect Skyrim. I also tried the native Linux flatpak version of LOOT but I can’t get that to see the MO2 mods folder.

Has anyone got LOOT working properly with MO2 on deck?

Expand and rearrange your inventory, watch numbers tick up and break the game in LOOTPLOT

Gaming on Linux - 22 Apr 2025 - 3:32pm
I have no idea what actual genre LOOTPLOT belongs in, or how to properly describe it. You go through rounds of sorting through your inventory and expanding it, trying to create crazy synergies and keep increasing your points needed to beat each level.
