Hi everyone. ive been running nobara OS for the last 2-3 days.

And core control shows that my gpu is only using like 300 watts where it can take 350watts out of the factory.

its a 7900xtx.

i did like all the unlock core control stuff. i do have full control over the wattage and can also control the fans no problem at all.
clockspeeds also looked fine, just as in windows around 2700mhz on core and 2500mhz on memory. so theres that, but...

somewhere i have read that core control only shows power usage from the ,,actual DIE" and not the total board power?

is that correct? or is there something wrong with my gpu under linux and something isnt working as intended?

when i put the watt on 350 watts in CoreControl my HotSpot temps go up to 95 to a 100 degre celcius. which is kinda weird because in windows i have around 90 degree hotspot with that 350watts of power draw.

so i am assuming core control is only showing me watt usage of the actual die and not the full board power draw, but i am totally not sure what it does and how it does it.
so id better ask before i break something :/

does someone has any information about this, and is there another tool for linux to check the full power draw of the gpu ?

I use Arch Linux with Gnome on Wayland. I installed Counter Strike 2 and tried launching it but it says its launching for 2 seconds and goes back to the green "Play" button after that. I am new to Gaming on Linux and dont know if I have to perform any additional steps for it to run.
Help is much appreciated!

When I use gamescope I can’t use my mouse, it’s locked in place and it goes to 60hz refresh rate, I have a 144hz monitor. Any ideas on how to fix I am on arch Linux. I have the 32 bit installed same as 64, i want to use it on csgo, cod4, and many other fps games but for now that’s about it any ideas. Also Linux performance is a little off. Can I use game mode and GameScope at the same time? Gamemode just lets my cpu hit 100% right, or is there more to it that I don’t understand?

I can talk on discord, on obs studio but I can't make the game detect the sound. I've tried with several mics but I'm not able to make it work in game. The game detects the microphones but not the sound that comes from them. I don't really know what to do. Tutorials and the forums I've checked doesn't give answers either.

i have a huge question to anyone that sees this post as i'm kind of a noob in terms of linux (+4 months or so of usege) i've been trying to play games that i used to play on windows. steam games work fine through steam without any issues but games that aren't on there or heroic oh god. i've tried using lutris to play games that i love and played like crazy (tony hawk's american wasteland, thug 2, need for speed most wanted 2005. to name a few) but any time i tried to use lutris to install them, it would always just crash for no reason and give me an error code, i would try to trouble shoot it for a while, try again and it would just repeat that cycle for days to no avail. i can't install thaw with reTHAWed mod cause it would just crash at random, thug 2 would just crash on startup, and need for speed most wanted? HAH it would just crash before it even downloaded the files it needs. so here is my question. does anyone else has this happening on their PC. cause on mine it just refuses to cooperate. here are my pc specs in case they are needed:

OS: linux mint 22.1

cpu: intel core i3-3220

gpu: nvidia gtx 1050

ram: 8 GB

PS: i might try just emulating these games but it would really suck if i lost the online functionality of reTHAWed cause it's actually fun besides the fact that i won't be able to mod these games.

As a LTS distro user I wonder what will be next feature that will make people think that "anything else than rolling / semi-rolling distro is unusable"

I'm using a 2 monitor setup. My main one is a 1080p 120hz monitor, and my second one is a 4k 60hz monitor.

I wanted to play some TF2 since I was it worked natively with linux, but when I try playing it, my cursor wouldn't be locked to the game and would move to my other monitor. For some reason, the mouse would only lock if I clicked at the very top left of the main monitor, almost like the OS thought the game was running in a 800x1200 resolution when it was not. No matter what video settings I changed, nothing would fix it. I even tried using gamescope, but TF2 was the only game I couldn't run with gamescope.

Some info:

• I use Fedora 41 and Wayland (GNOME)
• I have a NVIDIA GPU (1060) with the proprietary drivers
• I'm not using proton when running TF2
• It seems like TF2 is the only game that has this problem, since I've tried running other source games like Portal and it doesn't the cursor issue.

• I've attempted to use gamescope as a workaround, but I couldn't get it working with TF2. When I try to run it through the terminal I get this error message:

  failing to read Wayland events: Broken Pipe

Does anyone know how to fix this? Or even fix the gamescope issue? I'm kinda frustrated that a native game is giving me this must trouble.

Whatever will developers turn into a deck-builder next? Ludo, apparently. The classic board game has been warped into Ludaro.

Hey everyone!

I'm Raymond, a solo dev working under the name Revolving Gear Studios, and I wanted to share a quick gameplay overview for my upcoming game Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel—a tactical action RPG set in an alternate 1930s full of cursed ruins, undead threats, and… yeah, Nazis.

The game features:

• A skill card system that lets you build your class on the fly
• Fixed and dynamic enemy level zones for challenge across the map
• Co-op for up to 4 players
• Classic ARPG vibes with a more grounded setting and tone

The video shows off some core systems like the skillcards (frost bullets, burn cards, etc.) and world design. It’s my first proper devlog-style overview, so I hope the message comes across clearly! 😅

If you’re curious or want to support development: 📌 Join the Discord – chat, feedback, and sometimes cursed gifs:

🛒 Wishlist on Steam – it really helps more than you’d think:

It's done, finished! The final Baldur's Gate 3 content update is here along with a special animated short to mark the occasion. As expected, is a rather large enhancement to the game with some very long patch notes.

So I'm a little late to the party with KCD2, but I picked it up the other night and it really is a looker!

Sadly, KCD2 doesn't have native HDR support to take advantage of the HDR capabilities of my fancy new monitor. However there is a mod that works with ReShade to add HDR to the game. It was a little bit of a pain to get it working in Linux since there's so many moving parts, and all these tweaks are intended to be done in a Windows environment. But I got it working, and I hope this guide might help one other person that needs it! - I also couldn't find any guides myself while trying to get this working so that's why I'm making my own guide after I got it working. For reference, I am on Fedora 41 KDE, although none of the stuff in this guide seems distro specific to me.

Some things you need first.

• KDE, make sure you are using a newer version of KDE Wayland, afaik that is where HDR support is working at best/at all in Linux currently.
• Gamescope, install the Gamescope package however you need to do it for your package manager.
• ReShade, use this install script to install it to your Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 directory.
• RenoDX HDR mod, you can find it here, download the version you need. There is a regular version and an AMD specific version for AMD GPU's.
• A monitor with HDR support!

Once you have all the prerequisites you're ready to begin!

1. Make sure HDR is enabled and working in KDE. (Sounds silly to point out but I'm making this guide noob proof since I, myself am a Linux noob and I would appreciate a guide that is comprehensive if I were the one following the guide.)
2. Get your KCD2 working with Gamescope if it isn't yet. In my experience Gamescope doesn't like a game splash screen (which KCD2 has) when you haven't defined any resolution variables. For reference, the Gamescope launch options that worked for me were, gamescope -W 2560 -H 1440 -f --hdr-enabled --force-grab-cursor -- %command%. You can copy these launch options, just make sure you change the resolution to match your monitor's resolution. (Make sure you don't change the uppercase W and H to lowercase.) If KCD2 is launching correctly, you're ready for step 3!
3. Run the ReShade install script from the GitHub page I linked and make sure you select the correct directory to tell ReShade to install to. The default game directory for KCD2 doesn't contain the .exe which ReShade needs to work, you have to go two folders deeper "path/to/kcd2/Bin/Win64MasterMasterSteamPGO/" and point the script here. Easiest way to get there is to right click KCD2 in your Steam library and click "Properties->Installed Files->Browse..." then go in to "Bin->Win64MasterMasterSteamPGO" and copy this directory path and paste it in to the terminal when the script asks for the directory. Press "y" on every prompt and let the script finish, it should be quick. Next it will prompt you to add the launch options to Steam so copy WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" %command% and paste it in front the launch options we specified before, and make sure to remove the %command% from the end of the "WINEDLLOVERRIDES" launch option. If done correctly your launch options should look something like this. WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" gamescope -W 2560 -H 1440 -f --hdr-enabled --force-grab-cursor -- %command%
4. Last but not least, install the RenoDX HDR mod to your KCD2 "Win64MasterMasterSteamPGO" folder. This step is pretty easy. Download the file from the link at the top of the guide and extract the files in to that "Win64MasterMasterSteamPGO" folder. The first time I tried to install this mod I accidentally left the RenoDX files inside a folder when I extracted it to the folder. This won't break your game, however it won't enable and HDR effects. Make sure you are only extracting the files in to the directory. It should be a "dxgi.dll" file and two ".addon64" files and if done correctly, it should prompt you to overwrite the "dxgi.dll" file.

Once all that is done, your game should have working HDR! A good way to tell if it's working correctly is by looking at the sun in game, or the coals of a fire. The sun should be not over exposed, and the coals of a fire should be rich and bright. If everything looks flat and "washed out" that means Gamescope did in fact enable HDR, and HDR is enabled correctly on your monitor and KDE, however you missed something with installing the HDR tonemap mod.

Apologies for this guide being long, however like I said I wanted it to be comprehensive to try and make it as noob friendly as possible. Let me know if you have any questions and I will try to help anyone work out any problems they have!

(Side note, in theory I would assume this same process would work for any other games that have ReShade based HDR mods. However I haven't tried any other games. If you try any other games by following this let me know if it works!)

Real time chaotic strategy simplified to make it work well on a gamepad? With single-player, versus and co-op modes? D.O.T. Defence is out in Early Access with Native Linux support made with Godot.

Hi all,

I've been using the the Minecraft Bedrock launcher on Manjato xfce without a problem for a month. Now randomly any controller I use controls the mouse. Any suggestions on a fix? I would play Java but it's just much easier to play with my wife on Bedrock.

Yesterday I created an account for GOG games, since I liked the idea of actually owning the games I buy. I've been a Linux user (EOS) for almost 2 years now but always used Steam and Epic Games via Heroic, so I don't know if I'm missing something here.

I bought Hotline Miami in GOG and tried to launch it via Heroic, but it just won't. Googling a bit I found some issues with the game being 32bit and I found this github issue explaining a workaround by adding LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib32 as an envvar. Adding it in the Heroic launcher doesn't solve the issue and still the game doesn't launch.

I also tried to install it via the native installer provided by GOG but it will still throw the same error:

$ ./start.sh
Running Hotline Miami
./hotline_launcher: error while loading shared libraries: libXrandr.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
