First look into Mesa 26.0.0-rc1 on 7800 XT (Indiana Jones The Great Circle)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 Jan 2026 - 7:16pm

Hi, just wanted to quickly share Mesa 26 improvements in ray tracing. It was the first game that came to my mind which stats show MESA version along with Vulkan version. Pretty exited to see oncoming improvements, wonder if Vulkan 1.4.340 would bring further boosts. Right now seeing about 8% ray tracing improvements. Looking forward to check different games this weekend along with it's stability.

CPU R5 7600, 6000 MHz 32 GB CL30, Linux 6.18.5-200.fc43.x86_64. GE-Proton10-28, in-game Supreme preset

Mesa 25.2.7

Mesa 26.0.0-rc1

GameTechBench (roughly 50% boost, or I did something wrong xD):

Getting OptiScaler and REFramework to coexist?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 Jan 2026 - 7:11pm

I'm unable to get REFramework and OptiScaler to work together in Dragon's Dogma 2, has anyone gotten them to work together? If so, please advise. I use an AMD GPU so the Nukem DLSSG mod isn't necessary for me, just fakenvapi and OptiScaler. I've tried using Ultimate ASI Loader to no avail.

I might be dumb but HGL and gamescope?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 Jan 2026 - 6:59pm

How the hell do you set this?

The gamescope command isn't a variableName=value setting. So doing gamescope = -W 3840 -H 2160 -f --

Doesn't work. Struggling to find any examples on the internet with this Name=Value format.

GPU spiking beyond rated boost clocks and max power limit

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 Jan 2026 - 6:01pm

Hi

I have a problem with my PC setup.

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

Hardware Spec:

ASROCK B850m pro a wifi (BIOS version 4.03)

CPU AMD 7800 X3d

GPU Saphire Nitro + 9060 XT OC 16 GB

RAM: Dual channel 2 x 24 GB Corsair Vengeance running at 4800 Mhz (Rated at 5600 but i have issues with the xmp)

Temps around 50 to 60 while heavy gaming

PSU 850 W MSI gold
-------------

Software:

https://preview.redd.it/76w7befen4fg1.png?width=787&format=png&auto=webp&s=38d94f7f4197cfb947ff301b5c69f401eab69156

https://preview.redd.it/v353rdohn4fg1.png?width=713&format=png&auto=webp&s=b0d988a9b4322431cca65d17dbcc64caf9ffe34d

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

Usual use case of pc:

I play Where Winds Meet at Ultra (Proton Ge 10-28)
No problems with FPS and so on at 120

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

Problem:

Recently I have been having hard resets where the system hangs, and reboots

Journal logs are missing during this timeframe, cannot use system rescue to restart, suggesting its a complete hardware lockdown

I thought it was a problem with CPU and Motherboard, hence was planning to RMA and stuff.

But today I kind of stumbled upon something new which kind of confused me.

I have LACT installed, I had enabled overclocking before, and undervolted

Set VRAM Voltage -60 mv , Power limit to 162 W hoping that would fix things.

This had helped for some days until the issue of hardware lockup and reset happened again.

Then one incident when Where Winds meet froze, instead of a hardware lockup this time I was able to system rescue reboot. I saw journal logs

https://preview.redd.it/8wxyqy1ao4fg1.png?width=1002&format=png&auto=webp&s=0578bfb9adf0d03efee48b4a582b758a7e1f221b

Hence I disabled GPU overclocking in LACT to see if the problem persists, no change

I downgraded my mesa driver to Ubuntu repo's mesa driver instead of kisak

No change, same issue.

Finally while looking up online I came across some thread saying that driver is boosting clocks beyond rated maximum on GPU.

So I decided to keep the LACT display on rightside and opened where winds meet and entered the new area after the nine mortal ways' fake mistveil dungeon.

My GPU power usage was going above 182 W occasionally

My lact then and there showed Throttling : ppt0 something and goes back to nothing brings it down to 182 W

My GPU core clock jumps near boost clock
According to sapphire:

  • Boost Clock: Up to 3320 MHz
  • Game Clock: Up to 2780MHz

How can I make sure that:

My GPU power usage doesnt cross 182 W

My GPU core clock speed doesnt go over game clock (I honestly dont want to overclock it too much at this point -_- )

I bought this PC setup on Dec 2 2025 and only after the return period all these problems started. Been having problems on and off, I want to find out what exactly is causing me problems.

Pls help

Failed to run Metin2 pServer on EndevourOS, do u have a trick or another mmorpg Linux-native?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 Jan 2026 - 4:51pm

Last couple days I’ve spent few hours trying to play some Metin2 pServer (Shiva international and Elveron) on my laptop (Endevour OS), first I tried through Lutris, but no result, probably I’m dumb, launcher start and update client too, but when I click start game nothing happens. Same with Shiva. So I decide to try using Steam, I added launchers in library and forced compatibility (proton ge), same story again. I downloaded bottles, when I create the bottle the process stuck while downloading dependencies every single time. I did read that sometime is firewall who block certain ports that client and launcher need and that could cause that issue, I fixed these ports through command line, zero results again. So time to try Wine, and this time something different happened: a wine window alert from the Anticheat dll that sad “a debugger found running, close the process from your memory and try again” or something similar (actually I’m on train only with smartphone). I was nostalgic when decided to try this game again, like when I was teen, but now I have to work and I’ve already spent at least two hours and it doesn’t work. So I ask u my beloved fella, is there a solution? Or do u have any suggestions about MMORPG Linux friendly and their p.server?
