Hunt Showdown won't launch on Ubuntu 24.04. Was working a couple weekends ago, but this last weekend it won't launch. No proton bleeding edge option in Betas in Steam?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Apr 2025 - 3:22am

It used to have a bleeding edge option under the Beta option in Steam's properties for the game, but it only has None as an option now. Any ideas?

Any way to force a game to use a specific input?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Apr 2025 - 2:29am

Trying to play Blue Wish Resurrection Plus with my arcade stick. The game seems to have it's own weird controller detection, so when trying to use AntiMicroX to map my stick it's a broken mash of the remapped buttons and the original control scheme. Anyway to force the game to ONLY use the AntiMicroX input?

What are the key components in a Linux distro that I should keep in mind if I want to game and i have an NVIDIA GPU?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Apr 2025 - 2:01am

Hi all,

So I'm newish to Linux and I decided to start off with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Partly because I'm also trying to see if I can move my gamedev workflow from Windows to Linux and saw that 22.04 LTS was supported for things like Unreal Engine and Unity but since 22.04 is kind of old, and I also don't just want to be locked in to literally one distro option, I thought I'd start with 24.04 instead and go from there even if the distro version isn't officially supported.

Overall it's actually quite good, but when I tried playing games, the experience was really, really bad. I have an RTX 3080Ti and was using the 550 proprietary drivers, which are the ones that are tested for 24.04.

Checked out protondb and did some of the common changes with only marginal improvements to the games I was testing out on. FPS was really low and frame pacing was really choppy. I then decided to go with newer drivers and went down the line on the ones offered in the Ubuntu drivers app thing and all the untested ones had graphical issues with the main one being that the screen would black out (all except the game UI) and I'd have to wait a while to get my image back.

At this point being at a loss I figured I'd see what my luck were if I just updated to the point release instead of staying on LTS so I moved over to 24.10 and the difference was like night and day, games were running incredibly smoothly one was even running better than on Windows by a significant amount.

This kind of got me wondering what are the considerations to make when choosing a Linux distro for gaming, especially if I'm looking to game across the board and play anything from the latest games to games that are 10+ years old and possibly even some emulation. I would imagine that things like Kernel and nvidia driver version would matter, what about desktop environments?

Just to be clear, I'm NOT looking for distros built specifically for gaming (so things like Bazzite and Nobara) but rather the components of a distro that would matter most when wanting to game. As my experience stands now, at least as a beginner in the Linux world, I likely wouldn't try any other LTS distro given my experience with Ubuntu LTS

Edit: Accidentally typed RX 3080Ti instead of RTX haha

Audio Problems with Discord

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Apr 2025 - 12:55am

It isn't a game but I guest a lot of people here use discord so, today I enter into discord everything is okay except I can hear anything in a channel, the rest of members can hear me.
Also I can hear other sounds from discord like notifications or sound panel (preview only).

I already check if the sound settings had wrong configuration but it isn't the case

- Manjaro, kernel 5.15.179-1-MANJARO
- Discord version 0.0.90-1

Lutris steam overlay?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Apr 2025 - 12:39am

Can't seem to find a definite answer on this. Is there a way to get the steam overlay working when adding games from lutris into steam? The shortcuts work but it doesn't display the steam overlay. Not sure if this is something that just doesn't work with lutris or it's a configuration issue

Are MangoHug default presets broken?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Apr 2025 - 11:59pm

Hi. I seem to have encountered a bug with MangoHud, but before I report it and clutter up the issues with nonsense, I though I'd check here.

I installed MangoHud and setup the config per instruction. I don't really want to customise the MangoHud.conf, I just want Steam Deck's default presets, which from my understanding are default in MangoHud anyway.
So, in the config file I set preset=0,1,2,3,4 and it seems fine. However, when I'm in the game, and the I toggle through the presets, they all work except the fsp only one (1). That one shows me a vertial line down about 1/4 of the left side of the screen, and all the text is squashed together and garbled.

  1. Is it just me or is default preset 1, the fps only one, broken?
  2. If it is not broken, can anyone tell me if there's a system-wide default presets.conf file (the one that applies if XDG_HOME/.config/MangoHug does not contain any presets.conf file) so I can see what's goiing on there?
    From what I can tell, one does not exist.
  3. Does anyone have the presets.conf file setup the same way as the Steam Deck for me to manually define?

The Sims 4: Not launching Nobara

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Apr 2025 - 11:28pm

Hi. Im so confused.. I'm okayy at linux but this just bamboozles me... No logs are outputted... Doesn't work with shortcuts.... What?

I've had The Sims 4 working on this same system, but I reinstalled nobara so it would have more space on my dual boot system. I've got a AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with Radeon Vega Graphics, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 (Discrete), and over 180GB of disk space left.

Sims just installed, it launches, processes Vulcan shaders, says it is running and then just stops.

I've tried the PROTON_LOG=1 launch option, but the output file doesn't exist...

I've reinstalled The Sims 4, 3 times now... & It's always the same. I just don't get it.

Screen tearing in Dark Souls 3 on Debian 12 (Proton)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Apr 2025 - 11:02pm

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to run Dark Souls 3 via Steam using Proton on my Debian 12 setup. The issue is, the game doesn’t have a Vsync option in the settings, and I’m getting some really bad screen tearing.

Has anyone dealt with this before or know a good fix?

I'm running an R9 280X with the AMDGPU driver.

Thanks in advance!

Fedora is a great distro (2 weeks on daily using fedora)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Apr 2025 - 9:59pm

i recently was having a hard time to switch from windows to linux.

for some reason i can run proton on any on the more common distros (ubuntu, mint, manjaro). i dont know why but steam was install correctly and proton but any game get launch

after this, i was really frustrated and was to stop trying to find another os than windows, but a friend from work talk about fedora and i decide giving a try.

and oh man,this work perfect!

the installation was very easy (i think almost all distro have this no pro user installation)

but the thing i was really surprise is that proton work perfect, on a previews attempt, i was able to run god of war 2018 on mint but ragnarok was impossible.

but on Fedora, with the tweak that proton db mention it work, also i try subnautica zero below same case, on the mint attempt this game never go, but now go flawlessly.

also a problem i have was the ssd were i have all my game this is ntfs drive and some distros have problems with this format, fedora also has but the fix is really fast and its more a windows issue than fedora itself.

this give me confidence to try heroic making my daily os capable of using epic games,ganes i was a bit scare of this, i mean some games on epic are available at steam and proton db also enlist them, but on windows epic is a pain in you know were, this due to some weird configuration.

i havent try aaa games, besides bioshock which run perfect and at 165fps, i have to make some heroic configuration tu see the textures perfect but anything else all games i try work perfectly.

also i recently update my main pc, from a rtx2060 to a rx7600, and games like fall out 3 (without mod) stop working i have to do alot of work around to make it work and wasnt perfect, i want to try it on linux and see how it runs

at this point i have to say, this is a great user experience, my AMD graphics runs perfect on this distro i have seen that whrn my pc go to sleep the cooler fan stop, THIS NEVER HAPPEN ON WINDOWS

also FLATPAK is great, i use orca slicer to 3d print and i love it but since the only version for linux some time ago only was the appimage this dosent work in alot of distros without a complex process, but flatpac make it so painless that im sorprise

right now im looking for some good alternative for software like fusion360 if i found somethig i will update but fedora is a 10/10

Which one between these two?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Apr 2025 - 9:57pm

I'm a long time player (start on Amiga 500, then Macintosh, then PC, and all Nintendo consoles alongside) but now I'm midly fedup of Windows.

I'm also a IT consultant (Mac expert, but good knowledge of windows too and some linux servers skills).

Now I dare to ask, the "ever damn day question on this sub", which distro to use for a simple gaming-multimedia usage ?

I narrow my search on Garuda and EndeavourOS for the "arch base" and KDE plasma GUI.

Which one is the "best" between these two, knowing :

- I'm full AMD (5800X3D and Radeon6950XT)

- I really need "SPDIF" 5.1 sound output on HDMI (I have a HDMI/SPDIF splitter), like DTS connect or Dolby Digital Live on Windows

- I use controlfan on Windows to calm down fans

- I use OpenRGB to control RGB in my case and my CoolerMaster keyboard (and my "steel series" mouse but not really)

- I already test HDR on windows and experiment an awful result

- I have a cheap fingerprint reader because I love TouchID on macOS and use Windows Hello too

- I doesn't want to "work" too many to use this computer (I like computer tech challenge, but it's already my job all day long)

I developed my handdrawn tower defense game entirely with free software, so it felt only right to get the word out in my splash screen!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Apr 2025 - 8:31pm

I grew up in a Linux only household, besides a rebellious teenage phase when I switched to windows to play games with my friends :D
Using Krita and Godot out of the box on my 2 in 1 convertible making games for ten hours on a laptop battery feels insane. If you are interested in Tower Defense and or Deckbuilder games, wishlist Hand of Hexes to get notified when the demo drops.
The entire game is made using Godot and Krita with icons from game-icons.net and textures from sites like publicdomainreview.org . We truly live in exciting times!
