Hello, I’ve just installed CachyOS on my Rog Ally Z1e and couldn’t be more pleased. It runs nice, games are working better, sleep/wake is amazing, but one thing bothers me a little bit. I’m not able to control my fans and they are spinning quite often. It’s not a big deal but on windows Armory Crate was able to apply custom curves. I’ve tried CoolerControl which looks great but it does not show any channel under Controls. Os there any way to do it on the CachyOS?

When running via proton, it shows the EA badge. Then like a minute later (which is too long it only takes 2 seconds in Windows), the actual FIFA 15 opens. It gets past the loading animation into the language select. There, the flag waves a few times and it freezes. Pressing the input to select the language before it freezes does nothing. I tried Proton 7, 8, 9, 10 and Experimental and I tried GE-Proton too. I also tried installing Media Foundation via protontricks. FIFA 16, though, runs perfectly fine. I'm on a Steam Deck OLED and everything is fully updated. Any help?

Hi,

need community help. I succesfully added to Steam and running Need for Speed Underground 2, Carbon, Underground, Most Wanted Vanilla edition, but i have problems with Need for Speed HD edition. These works with Proton Experimental.

It works on Windows, it works on Android over Gamehub or Winlator, but it not starting on Steam.

Tried different Proton versions, tried couple launch options:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8,d3dx9_26,d3dx9_43=n,b" %command%

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%

But it works with Proton 7.0.6 but withour launch option, and offcourse no mods then launching.

Can someone help what i`m missing?

Hey folks. I like to play games at 90fps. But I am facing some problems.

I have an RTX 5080, running CachyOS. Screen is a 4K display set at 165hz refresh rate

Here's what happens:

• In Desktop, if I cap the fps to 90fps in Goverlay, the game stutters and has massive frame time jumps.
• In Desktop, if I cap the fps to 120fps in Goverlay, the game is buttery smooth
• If I launch Gamescope (SteamOS UI), and cap the game to 90fps using the QAM, it's buttery smooth.

I have tried the gamescope r-90 launch option but it produces the same stuttery result.

I am perplexed why this happens. It works fine in Windows.

Any idea how I can do this?

I just started the game (installed via heroic with DW proton) and the performance is very poor. I get around 15FPS on all low and very low settings, which doesn't feel nice to play at all.

The hardware: i7 6th gen, 32GB DDR4 2133.

(maybe I should figure out wether I'm using iGPU or dGPU)

I know that the hardware is about 10 years old by now, but if the game is playable on mobile, why not on older/weaker hardware?

Recently I installed the game Heartopia through Steam on Linux Mint, but during cutscenes there’s a visual bug that looks like TV static. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Using PPSSPP and ZeroTier, I can't play Monster Hunter Portable 3rd Edition with my friends. I'm on Arch Linux using the native version of the emulator, and they're on Windows. We configured the IP address and everything else required, but when I enter in a lobby, nobody shows up, and I don't show up for them either, even though their messages appear in the emulator's chat.

Hello all!

So, I just got myself a 2021 Asus ROG Strix G513QY, and I was just wondering if I should stick with Windows 11 to minimize any compatability issues with anything (first gaming laptop) or if it's cool for me to replace Windows 11 with Bazzite, Ubuntu, or any other recommended distro for gaming! I'd preferably NOT dual boot (already did that with chromeOS and Ubuntu...never again😭😭). Thus, I'd like some tips for setting up Linux with this laptop! But, if Windows really is going to be safer/less neurotic for me (not too crazy about tinkering for anything more than 30 minutes), what are some tips for when I first boot up the laptop (this'll be my first time with Windows on a computer at home)?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello,

I just found out that RA1 is available via openra and it's nice, but I would like to play another game (or games).

Maybe starcraft etc. I want to be able to play multiplayer with friends as well, so that's important.

All the best!

Hi everyone, I recently switched to Pop!_OS and I'm trying to get my DualSense (PS5) controller fully working with all the "pro" features (Haptics and Adaptive Triggers), specifically for games like Silent Hill 2 Remake. My Current Status: System: Pop!_OS (Fresh install), Intel i7 10700, RTX 4070 Super. Hardware Detection: The system recognizes the controller perfectly. lsusb shows Sony Corp. DualSense wireless controller. Steam: It detects it as a "PS5 Controller". The Issues: The "Xbox Buttons" Problem: Even with Steam Input disabled, some games still show Xbox prompts instead of PlayStation icons. Third-party Apps: I tried running DSX via Proton/Steam but I get a DllNotFoundException (steam_api64.dll). Missing tools: I've been unable to install dualsensectl via apt (package not found) and the GitHub .deb link gave me a 404 error. Bluetooth vs Cable: I've read about SAxense or DuaLiner to get haptics over Bluetooth, but I’m struggling to find a stable way to install/manage these tools on Pop!_OS without breaking my audio (PipeWire). What I'm looking for: Is there a "modern" way in 2026 to manage DualSense features (LED color, triggers, haptics) on Pop!_OS without relying on broken .deb files or Windows apps through Proton? I want to match (or beat) the experience I had on Windows. Thanks!

Hey, I've started playing Hogwarts Legacy on a Ryzen 5 7600 32gb of ram and a rx 7800xt. I was pretty disappointed to not be able to turn on raytracing. Most of the time it would work well enough but in some scenes it dropped from 60 to 20 fps. So I got a rx9070xt and my avereage went up but running around in hogsmeade for exaple still regularly has immense lagspikes although I get 90fps most of the time. I'm about to buy a 9800x3D just to get my fricking game somewhat smooth.

This seems ridiculous to me because the 7600 is already a very fast processor. It not being capable of raytracing in unreal at all seems stupid to me.

I'm on Manjaro, Wayland, Kernel 6.17.12, Mesa 25.3.1, Driver: amdgpu, Vulkan 1.4.328

Please tell me if you need nore info.

I'm going to start with specs as I feel there maybe some influence to what I'm experiencing.

CPU: 5950x with PBO on

memory: 32GB ddr4 @ 4000MHz

monitors: primary is 1440p @165hz with two additional 1080p @ 60hz

Gpu: 3070 no overclock and a generic amd r5 200 display adapter this runs the 2 1080p monitors

mobo: b550 msi mpg gaming plus

Distro is bazzite on a separate 500GB nvme thru a pcie card adapter. Yes my mobo has two nvme slots but deactivates the second slot when anything is in the other 16x slot. Hence the adapter.

What is happening is while gaming it doesn't fully leverage the hardware. Which results in very poor performance like half the framerate at BEST or a quarter of the framerate compared to win10 (yes I know out of support os). The two games I've tested with are Arc Raiders and The Long Dark. The former tends to stress gpu. The latter Cpu. TLD on windows happily shows around 50% or more cpu utilization. Bazzite reports like 10 to 20%

Now with that out of the way here's everything i can remember trying.

I have updated bazzite manually. Maunal updates because while troubleshooting I doubt it is running long enough to auto update.

Have set variable refresh to auto.

Tried some manual launch parameters (I'll try to edit this post to show what I tried) for arc raiders. Kinda helped. Was getting 30 fps before. However steam overlay reports 60fps. Does not feel like 60. Microstutter? Very unsure about what's going on.

Verified no vsync or framerate cap on either game

At this point any and all advice would be appreciated.

I have been looking for an app to consolidate all the games I own from various stores and I'm pretty sure what I want doesn't exist.

Playnite is awesome, but only runs on Windows, and though it does have a web interface plugin, it is limited and still means I need to run a Windows server somewhere.

Heroic launcher is great, but only supports a few stores. Lutris is also limited in its support.

I wanted something that would advertise games that I already own back to me. On steam, for example, games being advertised to you are displayed really nicely with good information and screenshots. But once you buy them, they just get dumped into your library with very little in the way of discovery.

Some key features:

• FOSS
• Supports Steam, Epic, GOG, Humble, Itch, and battlenet with more on the way.
• Filter, sort, and organize your library by store, genre, ratings, etc.
• Discover page advertises your owned games back to you with several different trending/popular/community/hidden gems/etc. lists that update regularly.
• Create custom collections of your games.
• It's a web app, so you can set it up to be accessible from anywhere.
• Runs natively with python or in Docker.

The purpose of this app is to centralize your game library and browse and discover games in your library. It is not an installer or launcher.

I made an easy to use python script which allows for any program to work as a game status. It's also really lightweight please use so I don't feel like I wasted my time making something only I wanted or needed. Also make sure to read the github for an explanation of how to set it up (basically just download the 2 requirements and add your game to the list of programs to detect lol)

Asus h610m-ayw-d4

I know the NVIDIA drivers in Linux are problematic, but I saw the people talking only in DX12 games, not in OpenGL.

The performance between Windows and Linux is so big - i dont will use all the fps, because i will lock FPS at 165 FPS, but i want to know if it's normal or if I made something wrong (I'm a beginner in Linux, so why am I asking it).

*I Know the time it's different in the game, but i test more times and the fps is the same.

I'M NOT ASKING FOR HELP; JUST ASKING IF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TRIED THE SAME

I have CoD Cold War on Battle.net, NOT on Steam. For the past few hours, I've been busy setting up the launcher, so it opens as a non-Steam game, and Battle.net itself works fine. But with Cold War, I get the error 80070057, no matter what I try. I've tried dozens of things and commands to make it work, but absolutely nothing works at all.

I'm not directly asking for help, I just want to know if other people have tried doing the same thing, and if they got the same error, or were able to play the game.

I'm sure the game runs properly directly via Steam, but I don't want to spend 20 dollars on a game I've already paid for.

Thanks in advance :)
