Hello Everyone!

I was wondering if anyone could provide support in helping me to optimize Overwatch 2. Ever since swapping over from windows i've noticed significant performance differences in OW2 and I really want to see if I can better optimize the game because no matter what I've done so far I just don't see any meaningful or lasting boosts in FPS. For reference, I was getting 200 FPS absolute minimum on Windows, averaging around 300. Now on Linux even after shaders compile I average 100 FPS, 150 at absolute best but with constant (and I mean constant) dips from 50-100. I've tried DX12, different launch options, borderless vs fullscreen, and a bunch of other stuff and none of it has seemed to do anything meaningful.

If any more information is needed please let me know! Thank you so much

Hello! I'm not good with computers but I got a Linux laptop second hand for some light computing stuff. In particular I like using it to watch videos and stuff, and have it hooked up via an HDMI to composite converter to an old CRT TV. The GUI won't allow me to set a resolution lower than 800x600, but I would need to get it down to 720x480 to really fit the screen. I'm sure I can do this in the terminal, but I'm not sure what commands to use. If anyone knows, please help, and just be aware that, because I'm not very good with this type of stuff, I will probably need the exact commands typed out in the most idiot-proof possible way. Thanks everyone! 😅

Now I have no idea if this is the right place to post this as the only reason I switched to Manjaro Linux is because a Windows 10 is no longer getting updates and a friend had the thing on a USB flash drive so I kinda don't know what I'm doing most of the time. Anyways the sound just straight up isn't working for me. The audio both in the game and the volume of the application itself are at max and it isn't muted. No idea if it would do anything to help but I also tried the game with steam forcing Proton and without using it but neither worked. I know it isn't my headphones because I can listen to things like YouTube and hear other games on Steam perfectly fine. I'd really appreciate the help or tell me where the right place to get help is if this isn't the right sub lol

So I'm about to buy a PC an and build, I will probably dual boot for what I need to do other than gaming and I have seen Linux boost in gaming in some cases so I was wondering since I will just use Linux for gaming is Steamos better option or should I go with catchyos etc which might give better performance

I recently got a new pair of Arctis 7 Nova headphones and while testing them out I really enjoyed them as the sound quality was an upgrade from my last set.

The issue came when I got on a call with my partner. As soon as they picked up the sound quality dropped significantly and i'm not sure how to get it to return back to normal.

Does anyone have any solutions or been in a similar situation before?
I use a Desktop Mac M1 on Tahoe software if that helps.

I’m not necessarily playing super intensive games, but I am looking to upgrade my 5 year old PC and get a new CPU/GPU. I have been curious on Intel GPUs and want to know how well it works. I’m a software dev, gamer, and I do video editing. Can anyone talk to how well the GPUs run with Linux? Preferred is Pop OS

Hello,

As Microsoft decided to put a deadline on W10 and being absolutely horrified by W11, I decided to jump on Linux, Bazzite.
For now, it only happened when I play WhereWindsMeet but, after 10-15mn the game starts by stuttering, and then my PC freezes, until the fluidity comes back after waiting a bit
If feels like I don't have enough RAM but wouldn't the game crash then ?
Or could it be the shader cash ?

I have absolutely no idea where the cause might be.

Here is my setup :

Operating System: Bazzite 43

KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.21.0

Qt Version: 6.10.1

Kernel Version: 6.17.7-ba22.fc43.x86_64 (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor

Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.5 GiB usable)

Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (12Go)

Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

Product Name: B450 GAMING X

I would be grateful for any leads about this and a few pointers on where to look.
Was searching for log files but, I don't know where there are.

I got this laptop and installed linux mint on it. Before I tested a bunch of games on windows like Dota 2 and they worked perfectly.
Now on Linux, most steam games that I've tried freeze my laptop after a few minutes of playtime, Dota 2 freezes as soon as I click start a match (Even bot matches). The freeze isn't just on the game, my whole system seems frozen and I have to shutdown manually.

Tried a bunch of online solutions I've found but no luck. Changing kernel versions and using a newer Mesa version didn't work. Made a timeshift back to my initial configuration so I didn't make any big permanent changes.

This is my system info: https://pastebin.com/tY7YV3rW

I've hear intel integrated graphics might have a lot of problems with Linux, but games from Lutris have been working without a problem. I installed steam through system package. Don't know if the .deb file would work any differently.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

TL;DR: Steam games crash my laptop

I've recently moved from a pair of dell 1080p monitors to two AOC 4k monitors, and they seem to have caused some mystery issues across a variety of games:

Blasphemous - Stutter every second or so, went away with VSync disabled. Seems to have gone away on its own at some point

Death Howl - Same as Blasphemous, but with no option to disable VSync.

Snowrunner - Slowdown evey second or so. Again, went away with VSync, and also no longer seems to be an issue.

These issues occurred on Linux Mint 22.2 with the 6.8 and 6.14 kernels, and now seem to be gone with the update to 22.3/6.17.

Now for the one that's still causing issues. Elden ring runs at a solid 60 FPS regardless of settings, but as you can see in the image there's a noticable drop to ~40 FPS like clockwork. This definitely happened before the update, but unfortunately there's no options for VSync, so I don't know if that's the issue.

It seems not to happen if I use my old monitor again, but it doesn't seem to be obviously performance related. It happens with and without adaptive sync, and forcing the composition pipeline (or full composition pipeline) in the nvdia settings has no effect. Has anyone run into anything similar?

System:

Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 6.6.4 64-bit

6.17.0-1009-oem

AMD Ryzen 5 9600X

GeForce RTX 4070

32GB RAM

X11

for example the patch notes for ge proton typically state:

update dxvk latest git

update vkd3d-proton latest git

update vkd3d latest git

however in bottles I get to select dxvk-2.7.1 (for example) regardless of which version of ge proton / wine I am using

is it an override? what happens if it's disabled? how do I use the one that's bundled with ge proton as mentioned in the patch notes?

I recently switched completely from Windows 11 to CachyOS. The computer has always been shared between two people, so we always created two users (this is convenient so that each user can customize their workspace and their data doesn't conflict with the other user). However, in Linux, we ran into a premissions issue: a file or directory must always have a single owner. Our games are stored on a separate drive, and each user needs access to it, so we took the simple approach of creating a separate group for disk access. This would be fine, but Steam Proton requires the compatdata owner to be explicitly specified so that the game can run under the current user's account. Therefore, if compatdata is owned by User1, then when User2 presses Play, the game will close within a second. I was advised to use bindfs and mount SteamLibrary separately for each user, but this requires entering the root password each time, which significantly complicates life and seems less secure. Is there a graceful way out of this situation? Perhaps there's a way to store compatdata separately for each user, which sounds more logical and reasonable? In the Heroic Games Launcher, for example, the wineprefixes is stored in ~/games for each user.

Hi, maybe someone will be able to help me. I've been trying to play nfs most wanted with a few mods (widescreenfixes, extra options, mwunlimiter, hd reflections etc...)

But for some reason every time i try to install those mods the game refuses to launch, just one pop up of a black screen before closing right away.

I've tried with proton-ge, proton-em, proton-cachy, proton experimental and few older versions but nothing.

The games does launch once i delete the asi loader.

It's the first time that i'm facing a wall like that, I usually always find a way but this one doesn't want to work

specs:

cachy os

rx 7900 xtx

ryzen 7950x
