Genshin Impact doesn't launch through Hoyoplay?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Apr 2025 - 2:12pm

i'm using wine-ge (also tried proton-ge, same result). I have genshin and ZZZ installed, ZZZ launches perfectly, but when i try launching genshin, the launcher minimizes for a few seconds and maximizes back. I use Lutris to run the launcher. The game launches with wine staging, but it's not a viable option because staging breaks the game.

Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16ARX8 – Anyone running Linux on it? Fedora Atomic + Wayland/Hyprland?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Apr 2025 - 1:29pm

Hey everybody,

Thinking about picking up the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16ARX8 and curious how it plays with Linux. Specs look solid:

  • Ryzen 9 7945HX
  • 2×16GB DDR5 (upgradeable)
  • 1TB NVMe SSD
  • RTX 4060 (8GB)
  • 16” WQXGA 240Hz display

I’m mainly a backend dev who also plays games (Steam, retro, indie, maybe some modded stuff), and I want to daily drive Fedora Atomic (probably Sericea or Kinoite) on Wayland with Hyprland.

I know NVIDIA on Wayland can be rough, but I’d like to stick to the integrated AMD GPU (780M) for desktop + dev stuff and just use the 4060 when gaming.

So I’m wondering:

  • Anyone here running Linux (especially Fedora or Wayland) on this machine?
  • Any issues with gaming performance, battery, thermals, or GPU switching?
  • Does the 240Hz screen behave properly on Wayland?
  • Anyone tried Hyprland with this setup?
  • General hardware compatibility: Wi-Fi, audio, suspend, etc. — all good?

Would love to hear if it’s a good daily driver + gaming hybrid for Linux folks, or if I should look elsewhere. 🙏

9070XT or 5080

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Apr 2025 - 12:46pm

Hello together,

The last 7 years i had a 1080Ti running on W10. BC of the W10 EOL i wanted to switch to Linux, i bought a 5080 and a new NVME and was running it with CachyOS quite well - only had some bugs on OV2 (TTS, ingame voice, saving highlights). Unfortunately i had to return the GPU after 2 Weeks bc it wasnt displaying graphics output in the bootloader when fast booting.

Now i swapped my 1080Ti back in which is stuttery on linux and i'm back to W10.

I need to reorder a new GPU when i want to play on Linux - what would you recommend cus im still struggling with the decision.

A Nvidia 5080 or an AMD 9070XT ?

Struggling to get Monster Hunter Wilds to run on Linux Mint

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Apr 2025 - 10:52am

I'm trying to get Monster Hunter Wilds to run on my system (see image). I see people that say it works for them since Proton Hotfix has been updated a few days ago but I still get a crash shortly after the shaders are compiled, I already tried using PROTON_LOG=1 %command% and see if there's anything telling in the logfile but at least my untrained eyes don't spot anything glaring.

Yesterday I also tried it with Proton GE 9-27 and this launch option VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 %command%

and I managed to get into the main menu at last but when selecting "Start Game" it always crashed in the loading screen right after. (Freezes my PC for a long while until eventually the game and steam crash) Usually I find a fix when googling a lot but this one has me stumped. People report that it's just working for them with Proton Hotfix (new version released a few days ago) so I'm helpless. I'd be very thankful for any hints, even if it's just some ideas for better troubleshooting.

Got a second rig to get to linux gaming a bit, not sure whats best for me

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Apr 2025 - 8:42am

Bought friends old rig for sole purpose of getting hang of linux gaming, I already have some experience with linux but more on admin side of things, also got a steamdeck so I know little something something.

My preferred distro is Debian, but I am fine with trying something else. I booted up Bazzite, updated, logged into steam, downloaded CS2 just to see how are things going out of box. For some reason, fps fluctuate 50-65 nevermind what I am doing in game. Every graphical preset plays same, no difference in fps, almost as if it was a cpu bottleneck but when I booted back to W10 and tried there, for some reason it looked better but that's not really an issue however it ran so much better. Then I tried to get something like OSD working which would hook to the game (similiar as you have on steamdeck) but I couldnt make it work and I gave up. Then I wanted to try a different game, that game was not linux native and Steam did not let me to install it - aight let's try install via Lutris as windows - steam installation failed due to 'cant read from fs' error.

Goal was to see how well is OOB experience nowadays, i didnt tinker further. I am not sure if I did something really wrong during installation/optional features of Bazzite or things are just not working out too well yet. Shall I continue with Bazzite or just jump to arch/debian and just figure stuff on the go.

Also, is there any best practices or baseline guides to set up linux pc for gaming?

PC specs for reference (it's old but it runs games I play reasonably well on Windows):

i7-6800k, 32GB DDR4, GTX1080Ti, SSD

possible CS2 lag fix for bazzite

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Apr 2025 - 6:25am

go to cs2 game folder and look for cs.sh. make a backup of the file and delete the line SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=x11

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

my pc specs if you want to compare hw

cpu: ryzen 1700 gpu: rx6700xt OS: Bazzite 41

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

i was experiencing lag spikes with CS2. trying to find the fix for it, i found out from another reddit post stating that the game does not mesh well with wayland. since im using bazzite, it does not give me an option to change compositors(i think thats what its called. as much as i like linux im not well versed with it) i tried editing the aforementioned line to SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=wayland, as it worked for other players. it did not work too well for me. out of frustration i just deleted the whole line.

if this works for you guys or has been a well known fix pls put it in protondb. if it doesnt work pls let me know so i can delete this post.

also im not a native eng speaker so i do apologize for the incorrect grammar

Monster Hunter Wilds Legacy Content

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Apr 2025 - 5:50am

game runs fine, no issues there, i just cannot seem to get the game to recognize the MHWorlds install and get the legacy content from it. Running Mint Cinnamon, beat Worlds forever and a day ago before i switched to Linux, and installed it again after the switch, so both games are currently on the PC.
