Hi guys. This week I was excited about discovering that Ghost Recon Wildlands was GOLD on protondb. So I bought the game on Steam and tried to play with some friends (they're on windows), but the anticheat started kicking me out in our own gameroom.

I've been reading ProtonDB comments and one took my atention: Multijugador En general (online):Didn't Work Kicked by EAC - to bypass this issue, everybody in the lobby needs to disable EAC. • Singleplayer works perfect. • Co-op requires tinkering. • PvP does not work.

Does it mean that there's a solution? If so, please can anybody provide it here?

Hey! I want to make a minecraft server for me and my friends. On Windows, we downloaded hamachi, make a private network that everyone joined to it, make a minecraft world, open to lan, copy+paste the ipv4 of the person who hosted the network, open mc world to lan, and use the ipv4 and the port number, and everything was good to go! I was wondering, is this works for linux as well somehow? I know linux have haguichi instead of hamachi, but you have to install hamachi aswell. Is there anyone who made a server like this? I dont want to have a third party port forward method, i prefer my "own host".

I'm using a 5700x3d and a 9070xt. I want to switch to Linux, but before I do, is there anything like AMD Fluid Motion Frames on Linux?

Thanks

Received this error when I launched PlayOnLinux from Bash:

'$ playonlinux4 Looking for python3... 3.14.2 - selected 1.0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/playonlinux4/python/mainwindow.py", line 45, in <module> from setupwindow import gui_server File "/usr/share/playonlinux4/python/setupwindow/gui_server.py", line 28, in <module> from .POL_SetupFrame import POL_SetupFrame File "/usr/share/playonlinux4/python/setupwindow/POL_SetupFrame.py", line 36, in <module> urllib.request.URLopener.version = Variables.userAgent # Arg ... ^ AttributeError: module 'urllib.request' has no attribute 'URLopener'

I actually managed to fix this, so I thought I'd share my solution just in case anyone else has the same issue. For what it's worth I'm running Arch Linux (BTW) and PlayonLinux 4.4.3

The issue is with /usr/share/playonlinux4/python/setupwindow/POL_SetupFrame.py so start by making a copy of the file :
$ sudo cp /usr/share/playonlinux4/python/setupwindow/POL_SetupFrame.py /usr/share/playonlinux4/python/setupwindow/POL_SetupFrame.py.backup

Next open the file in your editor of choice and find line 36 which looks like this urllib.request.URLopener.version = Variables.userAgent # Arg ... and we want to change "URLopener.version" to "urlopen.version", so that the line looks like this:
urllib.request.urlopen.version = Variables.userAgent # Arg ...

I am far from a Linux expert, so I don't fully understand what the issue is or what python-urllib3 module does, but I've ran into issues like this before. I hope this helps someone, if I got some part of this wrong or there's a better way to fix it let me know and I'll update this post.

P.S. Shout out to u/aferriswheel, I was just going to get back to my game of Diablo II but she convinced me to share this first.

Hi people, recently i've bought an og ROG Ally and installed Bazzite as my first ever linux experience.

It was't bad but i've had a few problems knowing how to manage the OS and installing software. As a result i've installed Steam OS and the experience has been great and so far better than Bazzite in my opinion.

Yet I have a problem with the main game I play on the console, Elden Ring Nightrein, the game worked fine on Bazzite but it doesn't launch on Steam OS. It kicks me back to the launcher when i run it, just as the Easy Anticheat should kick in. The overlay says that its installing MS VC libraries and DX11.

Does anyone had triste experience before? What can I do to fix triste problem, thak you so much

Hi, I'm running the in-game benchmarks for Horizon Zero Dawn and wanted to access the saved results through Dolphin or my terminal to view the benchmark images.

I've tried copy and pasting from within that folder but that's really tedious. I've also tried searching through dolphin but it can't seem to find the file and folder names.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks :)

Hello everyone. Just moved to Zorin os pro from windows as I wanted to support the project. Got fed up from windows and dual booted it to get used to it. I am using Lenovo legion pro 5 with 5070ti graphic card. I installed nvidia drivers using the zorin os installation with nvidia driver as written on their website. I have also turned off secure boot in bios. The laptop just won't show that I have a graphic card, instead it shows integrated intel graphics.I have also trying completely removing the drive and reinstalling it. Like drivers are installing but graphic card is not showing up as hardware. On my Lenovo t480 it works so smooth because there is no nvidia card. But on my legion it lags a little because it is using integrated CPU. Also to add, in additional drivers it automatically chose nvidia proprietary 580. When I check in terminal, the drivers are there just the card is not working somehow. Any help is appreciated.

Hey does anyone have any reccs for getting a better signal to an HDMI only TV? I have purchased one that converts DisplayPort to HDMI but I think I am still having issues with VRR, and well screen tearing absolutely sucks and ruins my experience.

Any tips n tricks? Please don't tell me to get a new display - It's a 144hz 4k OLED that supports free sync. I neither want not need a new TV. If thats the only solution, I will have to leave Linux behind

hello,

i have been playing with linux on another nvme drive and i'm about ready to convert. either mint or cachy (leaning towards mint). i have had some oddball nvidia things with nvidia drivers in my testing and i know AMD seems to be better in linux. if money isn't an object would you switch to AMD or stick with the 4090? i use an Asus XG27AQDPG (27" 1440p oled) so 9070 xt should be plenty to drive it.

Hi! I recently saw a video comparing the Arc B580 on Windows and Linux, and since there's so little content about that, I've decided to share my own experience in hopes of putting more, hopefully helpful data out there!

Short context about this experiment: I'm currently dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora 43 with KDE Plasma, the benchmarks are being done on the same drive (with the difference being formatting, Windows was using NTFS and Fedora was using EXT4 file system and different drivers). I only included average FPS without the lows because I couldn't get rivatuner to show anything on the low 1% or 0.1%. And apparently there are no stable Vulkan drivers with working ray tracing for the B580 so that's already a huge con for Intel Arc gamers.

DISCLAIMER: These tests aren't by all means professional, they're made by very casual gamer with little to no tinkering with the system, the reason the tests are made on the following games are simlpy because those are the games I own and play, the list is also small because I don't play that many games and some of them I couldn't get to run on Linux (like ZZZ or DOOM The Dark Ages). And lastly all games were using Proton Experimental (except Minecraft which ran natively)

Here are the 'puter specs: - Gigabyte X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE - AMD Ryzen 5 7600X - ASRock Arc B580 Steel Legend OC - G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB 2x16GB 5600MHz CL36 - Kingston M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe KC3000 2TB (this is the drive the games were tested on) - Corsair RMx Shift 850W - Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE White ARGB

Drivers for Windows: 32.0.101.8331 WHQL Drivers for Fedora: Mesa 25.2.7

Monitoring app for Windows: MSI Afterburner + RivaTuner Monitoring app for Fedora: MangoHUD

And here are the comparisons

Minecraft 1.21.11 (vanilla), regular survival gameplay - highest graphics settings 16 chunks render distance 12 chunks simulation distance Windows 1440p - 318 FPS Windows 1080p - 311 FPS Fedora 1440p - 383 FPS Fedora 1080p - 381 FPS

Cyberpunk, benchmarking tool - highest settings, no upscaling Windows 1440p - 62 FPS Windows 1080p - 91 FPS Fedora 1440p - 42 FPS Fedora 1080p - 64 FPS

Black Myth Wukong, benchmarking tool - high settings, FSR super resolution 35 Windows 1440p - 62 FPS Windows 1080p - 68 FPS Fedora 1440p - 47 FPS Fedora 1080p - 52 FPS

Monster Hunter Wilds benchmarking tool - high preset, no upscaling Windows 1440p - 38 FPS Windows 1080p - 41 FPS Fedora 1440p - 28 FPS Fedora 1080p - 37 FPS

7 Days to Die regular gameplay - ultra preset, no upscaling Windows 1440p - 68 FPS Windows 1080p - 107 FPS Fedora 1440p - 66 FPS Fedora 1080p - 109 FPS

Slime Rancher 2 regular gameplay (running around exploring) - highest settings Windows 1440p - 90 FPS Windows 1080p - 116 FPS Fedora 1440p - 70 FPS Fedora 1080p - 100 FPS

In conclusion, I might need to tinker with Linux to get better frames, or I just have to wait for better driver support to have better experience, but overall Linux is not doing terrible! If you have any questions or feedback, I'll happily answer~! Also I can't promise I'll try more games, but in case I'll ever post an update to this post, feel free to comment any suggestions!

Hey guys, so I had a bit of a weird issue today. I played Arma Reforger with my friends. We were talking in Discord and everytime I spoke on the in game VOIP things I said in Discord a few seconds ago were apparently repeated through the VOIP. Almost like it was saved in some sort of "buffer" and added right in front of the things I said in VOIP. Never had anything like that happen and it honestly baffles me.

I'm on CachyOS with pipewire, using an external soundcard with a condenser mic. (3600X, 9070XT, 32GB)

Has anyone encountered something like this before?

So, in windows I had all my games run through Playnite, and each game had a tcno-account-switcher script that logged into to a specific steam account before actually launching the game.

How could I do this in linux? I'm using bazzite and I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to linux :p

submitted by /u/nitorinyany

Requirements:

• Passable sound quality (doesn't have to be amazing)
• A mic (passable, doesn't have to be amazing)
• Ideally, a USB 2.4ghz connection (I don't really want to rely on Bluetooth, and I've had issues with Bluetooth headphones not showing up in the list of audio devices in Discord despite being connected to my system)
• Something that is reliable on Linux
• Affordable (no more than $200 USD, and ideally -- less)

I want to play games on my TV rather than my desk, so it's not really convenient for me to get an external mic and a pair of headphones. Hoping this sub can help!

Hey so there is a problem with my steam apparently. I tried to get some help in git valve software but they said it isnt a steam issue and dismissed me so the next place is Reddit. I use Omarchy OS based on Arch and it is not my first time using it but it is my first time having a problem with it. So i start Dead Cells ( for example ) and it goes into running and crashes after some tweaks to the Proton ( like changing to Proton 10.0-5 or Proton 8.0-5 excuse me if the numbers are wrong it should be like this ) i get this message:

SDL_Init failed: waylandx11 not available
Called from hxd. $System.start (hxd/System.hl.hx line 99)

I tried everything from 5 different Protons to reinstalling Vulkan and wayland but nothing worked tried with ai integrated into my system ( CLI ) but it couldnt do it. Also tried like 8 different launch options for the game and steam from the terminal still nothing.

This is what i got from the git guy:
Hello @, SDL is accurately telling you that you manually set SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER or SDL_VIDEODRIVER to waylandx11 somewhere and that's an invalid option. I'd expect this to be a comma separated list or even better, for it not to be set at all as SDL's defaults should be the best option. This is unrelated to Steam or the Steam runtime.

Hey guys, i've recently got a second 3090 to help with running some exercises and workloads.

However when i plug the second 3090 into my pc ARC Raiders starts crashing on launch.
The same happens for Transport Fever 2 and Avowed. All the games work fine with only a single GPU plugged in.

If i change the rendered GPU with KWIN_DRM_DEVICES=/dev/dri/card2:/dev/dri/card1 in etc/environment, i can see the desktop and other apps change to the secondary GPU, but the games still crash on startup.

If i use DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_UUID="" %command% with he UUID from vulkaninfo | grep deviceUUID, the 3 games crashes with a warning about DX12 not being supported.

So far i seem to have tracked this down to the fact that the second GPU appears as GPU 0 in the list.

Do any of you have any experience with multiple Nivida GPUs?
Btw i'm using Bazzite with the KDE environment and Driver Version: 590.44.01, also any help and ideas would be apprechiated as i'm currently stuck on how to get games to run with two gpus.

I can't get nvenc working in Steam game recording in Linux, either in Mint or in CachyOS. It works fine in OBS for recording my game screen, but Steam's game recording has some convenience features which would be nice to have. After a bunch of Googling I found several people asking the same question and no hard answers or any claims from anyone saying theirs is working.

Steam game recording works with CPU encoding, but at 4K only records around 5-10fps and is unusable. I verified via nvtop that nvenc is not being used. Whereas with OBS / ffmpeg / etc. I can see nvenc encoder % utilization, and OBS can record at 60fps.

In the Steam options I have Video Recording > Enable GPU hardware encoding enabled, and I tried both Enable HEVC enabled and disabled as well as different quality / fps settings. Under Interface, I have GPU accelerated rendering in web views and hardware video decoding both enabled.

I'm running CachyOS with a 9950X, RTX 5090 and these software versions, all should be relatively up to date: Kernel: Linux 6.18.3-2-cachyos DE: KDE Plasma 6.5.4 WM: KWin (Wayland) Nvidia Driver Version: 590.48.01 Proton runtime: proton-cachyos-10.0-20251222 steam linux runtime Steam Version: 1766451605 Steam Client Build Date: Mon, Dec 22 7:48 PM UTC -05:00

Other things I've tried: Changing the Proton runtime (tried proton-cachyos-10.0-20251222 native, Proton experimental, and Proton 10.0-3)

Installed/updated lib32-libva, libva-nvidia-driver and libva-utils

Adding the env strings PROTON_NVIDIA_NVENC=1 LD_PRELOAD="" %command% to the game settings.

Enabled the proton log via PROTON_LOG=1 and searching the logs for "nvenc", "h264", "hevc", "libva", "vaapi" all shows nothing in the logs.

Let me know if there is another log or diagnostic that would be helpful. Thanks!

Hello,

Arc Raiders runs perfectly, then crashes after approximately 30 minutes. There is no consistency to what causes the crash sometimes within a battleground or in the menu but always after about 30 minutes.

System: Void Linux X11 AMD 3600 AMD 5700 XT

I have tried: Different proton versions: GE-proton10-13, Proton Experimental, Proton 10 Increasing ulimit, increasing vm.max_map_count, clearcpuid in grub.

What else can I try?

Obviously it’s hard to diagnose because it takes 30 minutes to test any changes. dmesg shows no issues when crashing, and although I have a background in cybersecurity and am somewhat familiar with assembly, static analysis of the steam.log folder doesn’t seem to point to anything glaring. Im pretty sure I have ruled out any potential cpu, ram and vram issues.

Any help would be appreciated as I can’t seem to find anything online about the consistent crashing on Linux.
