Why does ets 2 crash if i open the ets 2 settings in game?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 5 Feb 2026 - 3:49pm

And things like buildings look horrible sometimes. If i test on sober (yea roblox is trash but i dont have so much games) feels like 25hz and i have 45 fps. Newest kernel and the newest mint update i think. Mint cinnamon 22.3 Edit: i dont run ets 2 with sober...

Moza vs PXN

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 5 Feb 2026 - 3:37pm

After I switched to Linux, my Thrustmaster T300 wheel and TLCM pedals keep having occasional issues. It seems that Bazzite is the most stable distro with my setup.

The wheel is old anyway, so I thought of getting an upgrade, a DD wheel. Between Moza and PXN, which has the best compatibility with linux?

I'm split between the two because:

-PXN has USB-C connectors, which are more resilient and it's easy to find replacement cables

-Moza has the "trucking" and load cell brake upgrade, but those RJ11 connectors look flimsy and I don't know if they can be fixed with a new connector and a crimping tool

2 Questions about save files when moving from Windows to Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 5 Feb 2026 - 3:36pm
  1. I have save files that are stored in the appdata folder in Windows, so I'll obviously back those up, but can Linux/Steam/Proton or whichever handles this bit, still read save files from games that were not originally made in Linux?

  2. For the files I didn't back up, will Steam on Linux still grab my save files from the Steam Cloud (as they are enabled) and function still, or is it going to look for a different extension or a location that's not native to windows, etc.

I've had to admit defeat

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 5 Feb 2026 - 3:20pm

I have been running Linux as my main driver for the last 6 months. Started with just Arch and hyprland, then moved to cachyOS and KDE.

And to begin with things were great, everything pretty much worked out of the box, and I was able to do a bunch of home lab stuff with my server and nas. Productivity on hyprland is brilliant I still mistakenly use the shortcuts on windows they're that intuitive.

But gaming reached a point where it just got a bit too hard, there were fixes for lots of things but it was a lot of work and troubleshooting.

Many games would CTD on hyprland as it's still a relatively young WM.

And modding.... What a nightmare this was. I tried all sorts of tools, managed to get modded Skyrim and fallout running but it was so much effort, and not exactly stable.

The other element that made me admit defeat was VR. Managed to get my hands on a quest 3 and couldn't get it to work on cachyOS KDE (Wayland), again there's fixes but it's just a shed load of effort. Where as it just works on windows.

I absolutely love Linux and loathe windows bs, but fuck me if it isn't just easier on windows. Which is to be expected as most games are designed for windows.

I'll still have Linux as dual boot but not for gaming unfortunately.

Rust players, should we play GRust (Garry's Mod Rust gamemode)?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 5 Feb 2026 - 2:44pm

I did a full wipe once and I found it very identical to what Rust really is, just more like 2020 update, but player count barely could surpass 5.

The map is small and maximum per server is 20. Given the effort of the developers with some small funding, it is still a good Rust clone.

I tried to search about it here, but no luck. Did you all know about this? Runs great on native GMod, crashing sometimes.

Problem with my USB controller, my computer doesn't detect it

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 5 Feb 2026 - 2:28pm
Hello, I just bought a wired USB controller and when I connect it to my machine running Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS, my controller isn't detected. It shows as plugged in in the terminal with the `lsusb` command, but it's not detected at all anywhere else. I've tried installing several drivers and configuration software, but nothing works. I could really use some help because I've been completely lost for two days now. submitted by /u/RoundStatus2808

Our Linux-native scrappy-realistic space sim got a huge update, and it is packed with new mechanics. Need Linux gamers for this Sunday playtest.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 5 Feb 2026 - 1:02pm

This Sunday we're going to try the new survival-crafting-building mechanics in our space sim, Junkyard Space Agency. It is a KSP-inspired simulator with realistic orbital mechanics and flight model, but with survival and colony building gameplay and Rust-y vibes.

100% human slop, developed on Linux and aiming at Linux gamers first. We need your help to make it cool!

Enroll on Steam, then jump into our Discord, if you have a couple of hours on Sunday, without better to do, than playing a space bum making fuel from potatoes on a damned asteroid.

Stronghold (Crusader(Extreme)) HD - Mirrored & flashing startup screen

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 5 Feb 2026 - 12:47pm

Whenever I try to start any of the Stronghold (Crusader) games, I get a flickering and mirrored startup screen that doesn't go away. Sound continues playing and I can even use the menu, but without seeing it at all. See Video attached.

This problem occurs no matter the Proton version, with steam overlay on or off, after reinstalls, shader cache resets and file verification. All games have a gold or higher rating on protondb so I'm really at a loss.

My system info:
- Ryzen 5 3600X
- RX 5700, mesa 1:25.3.4-1, lib32-mesa 1:25.3.4-1
- enough RAM
- Arch on Linux 6.18.7-zen1-1-zen
- KDE Plasma 6.5.5 & Wayland/Kwin

I tried looking for other people experiencing this problem online, couldn't find anyhting. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

WARNING: FLASHING VIDEO, DO NOT WATCH IF YOU MIGHT HAVE PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY

Startup screen is mirrored and flickers. Proton GE gets me half a second further than any other Proton version I've tried.

After running the game for a couple of seconds, these GL errors fill up a full MiB and the remainder of the log. In my mind, these lines sound like they might be connected to the issue.

If Steam Machines fail, how badly could that hurt Valve’s push for Linux gaming overall?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 5 Feb 2026 - 12:43pm

Valve has been the company giving the biggest push to Linux gaming, and it still is. It seems Valve’s investment in Linux gaming isn’t just about not depending on Windows, but also about working toward a long-term (hardware) goal - first with the Steam Deck, and now with the Steam Machine/Frame.

And with the "bad timing" announcement (and now delay), due to a global memory (RAM) and storage (SSDs) shortage, it will affect their hardware production and price.

Like I mentioned in the title, if the hardware fails, do you think they might reduce their interest (and investment) in Linux gaming (Proton) overall, or not?

Almost a month since I switched to daily driving linux and forgot windows

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 5 Feb 2026 - 12:13pm

so I've been a windows user for almost my entire life. from windows xp to windows 11 and my experience with linux has only been for one course in college where we used it to learn bash script (which I forgot completely lol).

but idk what happened to windows last year where they decided AMD is publicly enemy number 1 and decided that bsod should happen whenever windows feels like it.

so I decided to make the jump to linux (especially since my pc was an all amd build which I heard works great on linux) and instead of daily driving of dual booting because I knew myself that I wouldn't commit to it (yes this wasn't the smartest idea and almost screwed myself but I did make it work in the end lol)

so I picked up bazzite so if I ever decided to experiment with linux I wouldn't end up screwing myself and seeing it was gaming focused which is what I mostly use my pc for it was a good pick. (I honestly learned that you probably shouldn't sweat about whichever distro you pick most of them are pretty similar) and now almost a month in I bearly notice a difference between my pc right now and pc last year (outside of a lot of problems I had mysteriously disappearing) and I think that's exactly what an OS needs to be.

to me and I assume to many others an OS is a means to an end, we just use it to do the things we want to do with little to no thinking and honestly I haven't needed to use much of my technical skills (googling and hoping I can find a fix) because I haven't faced any issue, and the games I couldn't run only required a little bit of tinkering but nothing that even required googling lol.

so if you are considering to switch to linux I think you should give it a try and you will probably end up preferring it over windows.
