So originally played on Linux and had some stuttering, played with settings it went away (FSR). I was in windows yesterday, couldn't be bothered to reboot and had loads of stuttering moments. Just had a godo couple of hours session on Linux, not one stutter plus seems to be running much smoother

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!

I am trying to set up Dark Souls 2 Lightning Engine and it crashes on startup, leaving a .dmp crash file which nothing can read and I can't find anything with google.

It had an update, and now it's refusing to start with a Win32 style messagebox about an assertion failing. Tried GE-27, Hotfix, and Experimental.

GPU-Screen-Recorder is a great tool to record videos, but the way the graphical user interface have/had some issue, one of the is how you can record audio.

The way the audio is recorded have some issues, each new entry is a separate audio track. The best practice for video recording is to record most audio into separate audio tracks because even if the game is too loud in the recording, you can later lower it in editing so other audio (like discord vc) can be heard much easier.
But putting every programs audio into separate track is time consuming and it's unpractical, and you can run into an issue where you forget to put a program's audio into a audio track so it doesn't get recorded, which can be really frustrating once you realize that you didn't recorded audio that you wanted.

Currently the way you select audio to be recorded in the gui (both gsr-gtk and gsr-ui) is by adding a device or an application audio (or custom application audio), each device/application gets it's own audio track making it easy to record selected devices/applications, but if you want to record an audio track which records every applications that aren't specified isn't possible because it would record every applications audio as well. And there is another issue with this ui. The "Record audio from all applications except selected ones" doesn't work correctly if "Split each device/app audio into separate audio tracks" is selected, because each audio track will only not record the selected device/application. So you don't want to record multiple applications audio and want to keep each audio track separate, too bad you can't because each entry it's own audio track so one of these (assuming you don't want to record 2 applications audio) is always recorded in to the audio track.

GPU-Screen-Recorder-gtk's audio section with view set to advanced.

But with the latest commit for GPU-Screen-Recorder-ui the audio section is completely redesigned, and allows you to add audio tracks and each audio tracks what should record, and you can enable each audio track that it should not record selected application's audio making it possible to have a track for every application but two and have tracks that for that two applications.

GPU-Screen-Recorder-ui's audio section with the latest commit with view mode set to advanced (commit 0018788780d756dbf0d3a77f6b40b384183348f7).

In this image I set it up in a way that the first audio track records the mic, the second audio track records everything but zen (browser) and discord (it shows up as Chromium) and a third audio track that only records discord's audio.

This was possible before with GPU-Screen-Recorder but the guis weren't able to because making gui is not easy, you need to make sure that it's easy to understand what things do, so the developer needed time to think how would it the best way to make it easy to understand.

I like this change, it makes GPU-Screen-Recorder's guis more powerful and at this point I can fully recommend this to record over obs studio. I hope that the developer can improve this program because it's one of the best program out there.

Hello! This is my first post and I want to understand what is happening whit my setup in Linux. I’ve been around Linux since 2007, but for gaming, windows was always the way to go. Since first SteamOS and Steam Machines I’ve been trying to play in Linux, getting worse performance than windows by then. Nowadays with Steam Deck, gaming in Linux is like black magic, BUT it has its concerns. In my case I’m having strange behaviour in my RX6500xt 4GB. It’s mounted in an B450m Aorus Elite (I know, PCIE 4.0 card in PCIE 3.0 slot is not a smart choice, but I have to live with that). My CPU is a Ryzen 5 5600x, 16GB RAM, display 2560x1080 ultra wide, and Sound BlasterX AE 5plus. I’ve tested 2 games that I’m currently playing (started in windows, but it’s time to evolve to Linux): Shadow of the Tomb Raider and The Witcher 3. They’re old, but at my age, still prefer the classic to then move for the new stuff. I’ve tested a various of distros with these games: Manjaro, Ubuntu, Bazzite (DE and HTPC), Nobara (DE and HTPC), Garuda, Linux Mint and official SteamOS 3.8. In Debian based distros I’ve had only bad performance, low FPS (18-20fps) in hit settings in both games, but sometimes those games started with good frame rate and suddenly had a big drop, even down to 8fps and never returned back to some decent speed. With Bazzite and Nobara, I had better experience, because got good frame rate in those games, but after some time of playing (10 to 30 minutes) the also had the frame drop and games became unplayable. In SteamOS mode, in Bazzite, sometimes games started with some artifacts that I didn’t like and in Nobara, after some time of playing, games crashed. I’ve been always playing in high settings, because in windows I can run this games in High settings with decent frame rate at a resolution of 2560x1080. In official SteamOS both games where playable, but with worse framerate (about 28fps in tomb raider and 20fps in the Witcher). But Witcher was very playable using FSR, giving 60fps y high settings. Here comes the incredible fact. Using Arch based distros, manjaro and Garuda, games played extremely well, but in some cases. If I play Shadow of the Tomb Raider in Ultra settings, I get 40 to 60fps (V-Sync on), the bad is that sometimes it stars to go slow and fps rates go down to 25 and never recovers. I can play this game in windows in ultra and get 34-38fps and never goes down. BUT I’ve found that if I set the game in ultra mode and lower texture quality one step, the game goes 53-60fps (V-Sync on) at 2560x1080 and never goes down, it keeps always whit that average fps count. Compared with windows, it gives 39-49fps, what meas that Linux performance is about 10fps higher! The only grip is that I have to lower textures one step to avoid game start lowering fps until become unplayable. In windows I can play with max texture quality with constant but slow fps count. In the Witcher, with Arch based distros happens the same. If I use Ultra settings in Linux, game starts with 40fps but while exploring around 5 minutes, fps count goes down to 8fps. While in windows, in ultra mode I have constant 35fps. BUT if I play in “High” settings in Linux, Witcher 3 performs 45-54fps compared with windows, same settings, which gives me 37-52fps. It was tested in Novigrad, where the amount of npcs and buildings affect in memory consumption.

So, what I’ve found is that Linux gives better performance, but I have to gater settings in some way to not push my RX6500xt to the max memory consumption, or rapidly it will become slow. If I put game settings between certain limits, this card give me an average of 10fps better than windows, which is a lot of performance! In windows I can push this card at maximum, giving me a constant performance, choppy, but constant, even so, plays worse than it could me if Linux could handle my card better.

This is why I ask for the community. Is there some way to configure my graphics card to not lose performance if it starts very fast and solid, and then goes dramatically down when I set games in ultra settings? Or will I always have to down the settings to something that my card will handle extremely well, but sacrificing visuals knowing that this card can give more? Because I think this has to do with the Linux memory management of the VRAM or something with mesa drivers. For now (and after trying different distros) I’m using Garuda Linux which is giving me the this “solid” performance, but always trying to improve the potencial I know my graphics card has. I hope someone can help me to find an answer.

Hi everyone! I'm using Linux for a job, I've got Ubuntu on my laptop.

I've been exploring reddit for a while and I found that it's really easy to play games on linux these days.

So I decided to switch my gaming PC on Linux and forget about Win11 this weekend.

At the moment the choice is between Manjaro and CachyOS, but maybe there is a better distro for gaming and home use?

Hello everyone, I am back after a long time, to running linux on my personal pc, and got to work..

I cannot figure out how to make wow classic use my mangohud conf, searched a lot of articles, and applied the recommended action but still to no avail.. It just has the default configuration.

Distro: Ubuntu 24.10

Data:

Bottles com.usebottles.bottles 51.21 stable system

MangoHud …form.VulkanLayer.MangoHud 0.8.1 23.08 system - #Installed it later, in hope of something..

MangoHud …form.VulkanLayer.MangoHud 0.8.1 24.08 system

Locations: Both /home/user/.config/MangoHud And /home/user/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/config/MangoHud have the config file in it.

Behaviour: After applying the wiki step below, Bottles launcher did load my home .config file, and had mangohud on it, quite annoying, but it is not passed down to the launched wowclassic..

flatpak override --user --filesystem=xdg-config/MangoHud:ro flatpak override --user --filesystem=xdg-config/MangoHud:ro

If anyone had this issue and know a fix, please help xD

Hey! Yesterday some community members tested my game Dustbound on Linux and it worked great — but today someone with Linux and an ultrawide screen reported a crash when hitting play from the main menu.

Probably a scaling issue, but I can’t test it myself (no Linux or ultrawide). If anyone here with that setup could help me out, I’d really appreciate it!

Here is the link to the playtest: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3441420/Dustbound/

Anyone knows what the issue might be? On dinput mode the Bluetooth works fine, but not 2.4g

For some reason games I use proton on see my native resolution as 3456 x 1944, but my native resolution is 2560 x 1440. The games work fine, but I would rather run at native for more fps and I don't need super sampling.
Some games just let me hit the shortcut alt+enter to change the window into a borderless window, then just enlarge the window. But other games change accordingly with the window size. Games with render scale I can just set the scale to 75% and be fine.

I’m trying to play Diablo 2 Resurrected in Linux Mint 22.1 on the latest 6.8.x kernel version. Battle.net was installed via the latest version of Lutris. My desktop specs are AMD Ryzen 5 2400G, 16 GB DDR-4, WD Black 1 TB NvME SSD, NV 1650 Super (4 GB). I’m using NV 550.x graphics drivers.

In the game I selected the “low” preset graphics and yet the game is “choppy” when running/walking around the map and/or when doing battle with multiple enemies. However, at sporadic times, and only for a very short time, it will suddenly run very smooth.

The game runs perfectly fine on my laptop which has the same OS, same kernel and lutris version, but with a 10th gen Intel Core i7, 16 GB DDR-4, WD Black 1 TB NvME SSD, and a NV 1650 Ti (4 GB) graphics chip. On this laptop I play the game in “high” and “very high” graphics settings just fine.

As the 1650 Super in the desktop out performs the mobile 1650 Ti chip in the laptop and with both systems having the same RAM and SSD, and all software being the same… The only difference is the CPU. I am thinking it’s a CPU bottleneck on the desktop computer. Anyone have any other ideas?

If you don't hear from me much over this week (or for the rest of this month), it's because I'm dedicating my time to playing GNOMES. A new tower defense roguelike hybrid from developer DYSTOPIAN with ever-expanding biomes to battle through.

I got an SHH shifter controller, and the issue i have is that linux tries to make it follow a standard xbox gamepad scheme with a b x y etc, except it doesn't work since it's an h pattern shifter, and 3rd and 4th gear end up not being assignable in games. I have tried it in multiple games with steam input disabled and it keeps doing the same thing. Can i make it become a generic controller with simple numbered inputs? I'm running kde neon

Before i swapped i was using greenshot on windows. I had it set up so when i took screenshots, it would automatically create subfolders with the name of the app being captured so everything stayed nicely sorted. Is there any way to configure flameshot to do the same thing?
