I recently moved over to Arch and a couple of my games outside of any launcher I have just don’t work. Actually, one works, but it doesn’t have sound, and the other just straight up refuses to launch through wine. I’ve tried installing necessary DLLs and faudio, but that didn’t seem to do anything. Can anybody help me? I’ve got these games working before on different distros with minimal effort, but now they just don’t want to work for some reason.

I'm working on switching to Linux Mint from Windows 10, and I can get just about everything to work except the EA Desktop and games. I'm not even playing new games or anything that has multiplayer (the most recent game was released in 2019). All single player games but I'm forced to use the EA Desktop to launch them. I have the EA Desktop installed through Lutris, and it will launch the game, but crash before the menu even pops up. Really just want to play the below games.

Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Dragon Age 2 Ultimate Dragon Age Inquisition Mass Effect Legendary Mass Effect Andromeda

How can I get these games to run? Or will I need to keep a spare PC in windows just for gaming?

Genshin: Proton ✅
HSR: Proton/Wine ✅ (via third-party launcher, but still counts!)
ZZZ: Proton ✅

Wuthering Waves: ‘Our Anti-Cheat is just… built different. (It’s worse.)’

Come on, even macOS got support. An OS that isn’t even primarily for gaming. Is there really nothing we can do? I mean, it’s a free gacha game, perfect for Steam Deck/Linux players! Why lock us out?

Does anyone remeber this gem of a game from 2007?

Apparently Atari did a "Nintendo" so it stopped developing the same year.

Was thinking we need an open source version of this to test out our new gpu's with all the latest (vulkan) bells and whistles. Anyone know of something like this?

I am scared to use unsuppotted os, so should I upgrade to Win 11 even though my pc doesn't support it or should I switch to some linux distro? In the past I had some problems with Vulkan and I couldn't play Dota 2 because of it cuz the game was crashing all the time (main reason why I use Win 10) but I think that issue was due to me using HDD. I now have ssd. Hopefully I wont recieve biased answeres.

I game on my Windows 11 Pro from time to time (the principal reason I have a Windows installation). Its dual booted with Arch Linux. My specs are:

Intel i3-12100

8GB RAM

No dedicated GPU.

How is gaming experience on Linux with integrated GPUs? I've never really been curious about gaming on Linux, so I've never checked out the tech behind the stuff. To be exact -- I'm not asking about games written for Linux, but ones written for Windows, but that can be played on Linux (with Proton e.g.?). I'm guessing there's a lot of extra stuff the bridge between Windows and Linux has to do, which takes a considerable toll on your resources. Having an integrated GPU, sometimes games (I'm not talking about the titles released in the past 5 years) don't work well even on Windows, and so performance is bound to get worse on Linux.

I am looking at upgrading my current rig from Ryzen 5800X3D to 9800X3D, and because it also means I will be left with an old CPU, motherboard, and RAM, I got an idea. Steam Deck is amazing already, but can I pull off a console-like experience for 4K?
So, what AMD GPU (I want to use a distro as close to SteamOS) will be able to pull off 4K 40+ fps in modern games (KDC2, Cyberpunk, Elden Ring) paired with the 5800X3D? And maybe I should wait for the 9060 XT?

Hello, Reddit!

This is now my third try at running a Single-GPU-Passthrough. I followed BlandManStudio's guide on YouTube.

Everything works fine, unless I boot into my VM with the GPU added.

When I connect to the VNC server I set up, it's just a black screen. I even downloaded Parsec when booting without GPU, and it autostarted and worked fine. But when I boot with the GPU, nothing works.

I've checked "sudo virsh list" and it says its running. I've checked my hook scripts outside of the VM and they work as supposed to. I even dumped my GPU Bios and added it to the VM, but that didn't help either. I know that I don't see anything because I don't have drivers installed, but I can't VNC so I can't install them either.

win10-vm.log: https://pastebin.com/ZHR2T6r9

libvirt.log says stuff from 2 hours before post, so doesnt matter

Specs:

Ryzen 5 7600x, Radeon RX 6750XT by XFX, 32GB DDR5 6000MHz RAM

ANY HELP WOULD BE GLADLY APPRECIATED

Wi-Fi work but often face little disconnections or slowness issues, also happen with bluetooth in some regard (not disconnection but often have to re-pair to get my controller and headphone to work), I have a dual boot with windows installed on the same drive could the issue come from the dual boot ? If anyone has clue on what the probleme could be please help.

This is more of an appreciation (and glazing 💀) post, or so I would like to say as no matter what Steam always ends up being the most comfortable launcher to use for everything.

Steam games (obviously), non-steam games, emulators etc all feels so great to use inside Steam. My favorite setup that I love to use is setting Steam into Big Picture, connecting a controller, using Moonlight at 120FPS (i sadly dont have a long enough HDMI cable trust me I wish it was wired) and enjoying games like that. It's been an amazing experience overall.

One of my favorite parts is how you can customize the way you want your game covers to look like. I havent seen many other launchers do that.

Theres also Game Recording (which oddly seems to fail for me im assuming its because im on NVIDIA drivers) and lots of other features that make everything a neat and comfortable experience.

Truly, no matter what launcher I try Steam always ends up being the best of the best and I always end up using it (and Heroic for Epic Games) for everything. What do you guys think?

I'm on version 1.10.980 and I did what I did on windows which is setting iPresentInterval=0 in both the Fallout4 and prefs .ini, I also put the files to read only. I also set the resolution and put it to fullscreen so it is reading the .ini files.

I used mangohud to check fps and it settles on 48.

I recently started using ubuntu and decided to play genshin impact cuz i used to play it on windows and i've tried a whole lotta ways and none worked, and the last one was using ''an anime game launcher'' but after downloading and installing everything, i press launch, and the launcher closes for a bit then comes back and nothing happens. That's the screen i'm stuck at btw

Hi!

I'm right now considering if I should buy a used Nvidia RTX 3080 TI or if I should get a Radeon XT 6950.

I've always used nvidia cards and I quite like them. But i'm thinking about whether I should try something different this time around.

The use case in this scenario is a HTPC connected to a 4k TV.

So to the people that have this Radeon card - how is it working for you and how are games running /w ray tracing?

Hello everyone,

So a friend of mine gave me his old professionnal laptop. A Lenovo A475 with 8GB DDR4 and an AMD A12 8830B CPU (integrated Radeon R7 graphics).

It runs on Win10 but, with the end of support in October and the usage I'm gonna get from it (mainly web browsing, text writing and netflixing) I plan on getting Linux Mint on it.

Now, I will be using this laptop almost only when I am travelling for my job (otherwise, my pc master race desktop is my only go to). And I'd like to know if I could reasonably run games like Age of Empire 2 DE, NFS Most Wanted (2005), Crusader Kings 2 on it natively ? I am a complete Noob when it comes to gaming on linux. I have a few experience with linux machines but only for NAS servers and very basic desktop activities. I plan on running Steam for Linux and playing with Proton compatibility (even for games that are not from the Steam Library). Is it the good way to go ? Basically if a game runs smoothly on Win10 on that machine, will it run the same if I play on Linux ?

Thank you.
