Wolfenstein Youngblood RT on AMD GPUs possible?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 May 2025 - 11:00am

Wolfenstein Youngblood was among the first games that got Ray Tracing support, back in 2019.

Problem is that it's a Vulkan game so RT got implemented with early custom Nvidia Vulkan RT extensions and the game to my knowledge was never later updated to use standard vendor agnostic Vulkan RT extensions. So RT still works on Nvidia RTX GPUs but nothing else.

Is there a workaround to make RT work on this game under Mesa/RADV?

AMD AFMF2 yet?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 May 2025 - 9:39am

I got a 4K monitor and ended up jumping back to windows for the frame gen. Has driver level frame gen been added yet?

Potentially Dumb Question

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 May 2025 - 9:28am

Its probably better for me if the answer is no, but I'm just starting to use Mint and saw on steam that there was Proton BattleEye Runtime and EasyAntiCheat, would I not be able to play Destiny 2 or is Bungie still being annoying?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 May 2025 - 8:52am

When i press play, it loads the game and then the button turns into "play" again, the game window doesnt appear at all and it just repeats whenever i press play again, yes steam play is enabled for all titles, i also tried disabling it and enabling compatibility for each game manually, still the same problem, i used flatpak steam from discover, and switched to the latest debian package, still the same issue, everything is updated as well as my drivers (nvidia 570) (used "sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:570" to install them), ive been trying multiple games and none work

I'm on kubuntu 25.04 specs are 4070 and i7 13700 if it helps

Lost save files of Final Fantasy XVI

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 May 2025 - 8:31am

I was going from Steam Deck to my main rig on FFXVI, and I saved properly and everything. Exited the game and went to my main rig. After compiling shaders, my saves were gone. I went back to my Steam Deck, saves are also gone. Is it possible to get back these files ? I lost a lot of hours. Is this even a Linux issue or Steam Cloud fucking up

Will linux always be stuck with proton?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 May 2025 - 7:40am

Support for multiplayer games and other ip's are simply not linux native to begin with. I hate to say it but linux will surely just be stuck with proton compatibility layers and devs are just not interested in making native titles. No matter how many commercial catastrophes microsoft makes with windows such as the recall feature or the copilot or software bloat which impacts performance, people would just stay silent on these issues..

Wdyt, will this change if more popular influencers speak out on this issue?

Weird issue I'm facing recently regards gaming: when on windowed mode (or when KDE menu is open) I easily get 100FPS+, when on fullscreen it goes below 20. I saw bugs like this before, but in reverse. Any tips? Maybe a Wayland bug?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 May 2025 - 7:08am

I THINK it's something related to the window being inactive, but that's not the case (?). When the mouse is over the game I get the triple or quadruple amount of FPS (the results I should get with my specs), I just noticed it this morning when I got The Last of Us Part 2 as a gift (that also happens on TLOU Part 1).

Ultra settings, 20-25FPS max when in fullscreen, unless I interact with the mouse on top of the window, or open the menu/show the panel. Same settings, 100FPS in windowed mode. I'm considering on testing Sway again as the fullscreen state for games on tiling WMs works differently from a normal DE, but where the hell should I start debugging it?

You can expect everything normal from my system, swap enabled, fsync and limits configured, stable KDE and kernel, etc..

My specs:
OS: Gentoo Linux
Kernel: 6.12.25-gentoo-dist (already tried to build other kernels, same issue)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
GPU: AMD RX 6600XT
MEM: 32GB
STORAGE: 1TB M.2 NVME, 1TB WD HDD, 4TB Seagate
SCREENS: 1080p 60hz, 1080p 100Hz

"Unable to Install Prerequisites”

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 May 2025 - 6:04am

Trying to install GTA trilogy, and when I try to run it, I keep getting the "Path not found" and “Unable to install prerequisites, please try reinstalling the game” error. I’ve searched around, and I found that this issue sometimes happens with GTA 5 as well, and the fix for that is to run it as an administrator. However, I’m on a steamdeck, so I can’t run it as an admin.

Any known fixes?
