I think I've tried most possible solutions that I've managed to come across, but has anyone else had issues launching tf2 lately? The game was working without issue up until at least last week or so. If I use the default native Linux runtime it doesn't launch after the "play team fortress 2/OpenGL" popup selection. If I use proton, the game launches but I can't connect to the servers.

Things I've tried: - reinstalled TF2 - reinstalled steam - a bunch of different launch options from protondb - verified file integrity

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Hi,I have recently purchased a Palit gamerock RTX 5090 and have installed cachyOS today,I have a Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED 240hz and to avoid burn in I turn off the display whilst it's downloading stuff after a re install since I do those often, sadly ,and I have been encountering this issue across every Nvidia GPU I have owned since 2022,the system will not display anything after I come back and turn the display back on,I am using KDE Wayland and have disabled all options that make the pc turn itself off or go to sleep,same settings I had across my full AMD systems, be it a 7900xt,7900xtx,9070xt,7700xt&7800xt. I have had these issues on GPUs ranging from a 3080 to a 5090 since 2022 I have searched for potential fixes on Google but with the search engine becoming awful and unusable even with the Reddit prefix,I'm unable to find anything that's exactly like my situation or any fix,I've even asked for assistance in the cachyos server when I last had an Nvidia GPU which was in 2024 with a 4090 but alas , nothing.

These are my system specs:

R7 9800X3D 64GB 6400MT/s ram X670E-A 16TB in nvme SSDs 1500w PSU Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED 240hz if it matters

I have not added anything to the system after installing it,so I'm not sure what else to provide since driver or open or closed kernel module does not seem to matter.

Hello, I've been plagued with this issue, have no idea how to fix!

Used proton-GE 10.10, proton-GE 9.27, Steam proton 9.0.4, all to no avail. Increased iGPU VRAM size to 2GB, tried running in Xwayland, in a native X11 session, on Hyprland, on Sway, no change...

Running on Arch Linux, NVIDIA open driver 575.64.03. All packages up to date. System (pacman) installed steam.

My CLI args to get to this are: mangohud prime-run gamemoderun %command%. I'm at my wit's end, so any help would be much appreciated! This is the only game that I'd like to play which exhibits such problems, everything else runs perfectly fine! Many thanks :)

Hi, I'm new here, please don't slaughter me. In these last days, I've seen some videos about Steam Gaming mode and how neatly organized and more console-like you can turn your PC or Handheld. I've heard that an amd GPU is adviced when doing the switch to Linux but I have a 4070 Super (paired with a 7 7700) and I fear I might run into some issues... Should I do the switch with my rig? If yes, which distro should I use for my use case? I was thinking about Bazzite or CachyOS. Thanks in advance

Ok, my problem is, i started playing Elden Ring in Lutris, and noticed my FPS was around 45 fps on max settings, this was ok, although i thought my hardware was very capable of achieving at least 60 fps (RX 5600 XT + Xeon E5 2680 V4). Then i started changing the quality settings, and noticed the problem, my FPS was around 45 FPS for ALL quality settings, from low to maximum. I then suspected that it wasn't my hardware's fault, i considered CPU bottleneck, considering i use a old XEON, but i saw that there weren't any cores on 100%, but all of them were being equally underused.

I then tried fixing it. I tested using other versions of wine on Lutris, tested in heroic with different versions of wineGE/protonGE, tested enabling "above 4G decoding" and "resize bar" on my bios, tried updating the Mesa drivers (25.1.5 to 25.1.6, hence the two different screenshots), tried uninstalling amdvlk (with wasn't even installed, i am using RADV), tried using the following launch arguments and enviroment variables

VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv %command% radv_zero_vram=false

VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json

None of these worked, i know this case is super specific, but maybe someone know how to help me, i use ubuntu, my specs and the manguhud screenshots are below

Obs: Gamemode is installed and enabled in both Heroic and Lutris, i do not have an integrated GPU, my Xeon Hyperthreading is disabled, the game is installed in a ext4 SSD, i don't get any explicit error codes when running/opening the game.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit 1: I enabled Hyperthreading again, the FPS stayed the same, only the processor usage went down (all cores on 23% instead of all cores on 45%), maybe it is an power limit thing?, my power mode on ubuntu is set to performance though.

It happens usually on loading screens or after a match ends. Normally it's not that usual, but today I had it happen 4 or 5 times, one of them during a game.

I'm new at Linux and I'm a bit lost here, I've read that I should provide logs but I don't know where to find those.

Note: I have asked a similar question in other subreddits, but this is the only one I can actually share a video example of this issue.

I'm having issues getting 3D Groove games to work properly in lutris...

Weirdly enough, I can get the game to run, but it always launches at 640x480 on fullscreen, and I can't start the game because of it.

Normally, you could alt + tab and change the resolution on computer, but I can't do it in a way that changes the game resolution because I'm using wine/lutris to run it.

I don't know what the custom launch arguments are for Lutris that can force the game to launch at full resolution as my screen, so if anyone could provide answers, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys, this has happened in some games like MW3 (through Proton of course) but even on Pay Day 2, which is native on Linux.

Mouse input is incorrect, the cursor goes up more than it goes down, and the same is for right and left, just like in the video (I moved the mouse in a circle, as I demonstrate while having the Gnome menu out)

I tried to search but found nothing, help, and thanks in advance :)

Ubuntu 24.04, stock Ubuntu Gnome.

After a very frustrating evening, I am thinking about going back to Windows. I don't like it and I was ready to work with Linux (specifically Fedora) to finally leave it behind. But today I just wanted to play a game. With a controller. And my PC just did not want to connect to it. In the last month of trying Fedora I had not yet tried connecting my Xbox One gamepad. So I tried it and it did not recognize the dongle (or controller if I connected it via cable). That was kind of expected. So I started googling and found xone. Set it up (swith ome difficulties because of dependencies) and ... nothing. Tried two different methods I found online ... nothing. I had problems with Linux for about everything I tried. I always made it work, but so many things just did not work without a fix. My Email client, software for pen&paper, lighting controls for LEDs or mouse macros. Also for some reason some applications went missing and had to be reinstalled (no idea what happened there) This evening I just wanted to play and instead tried to fix something for an hour. With no result. I am just frustrated. Sorry for the rant.

Note: as I see it now, I either have to buy a new gamepad or go back to Windows. If you have an idea, I would be happy to try it. (My controller is an Xbox one controller that only works with the dongle. I was never able to connect it directly via Bluetooth)

I would like to have games run smoother.

What is your opinion about low-latency or linux-TkG ? which one gives better results?

Is there anything that should be considered when choosing between the two?

I saw the black ops 1 post now that ntsync is working, all the emulators run on Linux so is there actually anything that doesn't run purely because of incompatibility

hey! i bought a fresh Ultimate 2C with the 2.4g dongle. for some reason everything works fine except the X axis on my right joystick swapped with my left trigger; happens on 2.4g and wired.

on Windows it works fine, it recognises the controller as an Xbox gamepad, but i'm not sure what's happening on Linux.

what should i do?

I don't have USB or CD, I would like to remove my Windows 10 pro operating system and change it to Linux mint... Does anyone know how I can do it without USB? No CD?

I have tried linux many times, well over 15-20 distros that I like. But there's not as much simplicity with how you customize your system. I want a new desktop enviornment, i need terminal commands and git cloning and this, that, etc. On windows i just click settings (to change some taskbar settings.)

Then there's the fact I can't play certain games. I tried archcraft, which did something to my USB or something to where trying to install any other os results in "You need to load the kernel first!"

Theres not as much software and so nobody uses it. And companies dont make software for it because nobody uses it. And since companies dont make software nobody uses it.
