When I run Trine 4 on Linux, I have a framedrop of ca 80ms every few seconds. (See screenshot) I have a notebook with an Amd 5600h Cpu and Nvidia 3070 Gpu. I use Manjaro with Kde. I tried both disabling hybrid graphics, so it uses only the Nvidia Gpu for everything and I tried enabling it, so the desktop itself is rendered by the integrated graphics and only the game on the Gpu, but in both cases I have the same framedrops. Even using the integrated Amd graphics for the game causes the same framedrops. Vsync on or off makes no difference, or setting all graphics details on low. I usually use Bottles and tried different runners and dxvk versions and also tried running it on Steam as a non Steam game. The framedrops occur on both X11 and Wayland.

On Windows, it runs smooth without any framedrops. Other games run fine on the same notebook

Hey everyone - having some trouble with sound not working in Arc Raiders via Proton Experimental. I've tried both the Flatpak and .rpm version of Steam. Sound works fine otherwise, just no sound in the game. Any ideas?

Hi everyone,
I am completely new to the VR world. I'm about to receive my first headset (Meta Quest 2) and a decent Link cable.

I currently use EndeavourOS(arch-based) (KDE Plasma, X11) as my daily driver. Since I have zero experience with VR software, I'm trying to decide if I should attempt to run this on Linux or if I should just create a Windows partition specifically for VR gaming to save myself a headache.

My Specs:

OS: EndeavourOS (X11)
CPU: Intel Core i3-9100F
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB
MOBO: MSI Z390 Gaming Plus
RAM: 16GB 3000MHz
Storage: 1tb NVMe, 1tb HDD, 240gb SATA SSD.

Thanks for the help! I really appreciate any advice you can give 😃

I have 3 monitors all of them have diffrent refreshrates and before you say anything I know this is the cause of the issue but I would like to know if there is any other way to solve it other than not use the max refresh rates on my gameing monitors. I have 2 1080p 165hz monitors one of them is running at 120 because Display port cable cant reach best port to computer and 1 1440p 144hz monitor in the center that I use for gameing. This is the monitor thats flickering and I was hopeing someone has a solution that doesnt involve running my main gameing monitor at 120 hz and my other monitor at 120hz makeing them all 120hz.

Hello,

Basically the title. I am having issues with game freezes, but only with Embark games. No other games freeze, and the freeze is only with the game not the whole PC. I attached my neofetch, clarification the GPU I have is the 6700 XT. I am using a wire network connection with gigabit internet as well.

Whenever they freeze, I will wait around 30 seconds to a minute before moving the game to another workstation in DWM and then stopping it in steam. I can then restart the game from steam and go for a bit more before having the issue again.

I have tried all the standard Proton presets, as well as Proton GE; but I get the same issues.

I have tried every permutation of launch option I could find in recent (2weeks) posts on ProtonDB.

Oddly, both games seem to work fine on my steam deck. Furthermore, they crash more often if I am in a party with others.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I’m planning on playing games and downloading them through more unconventional ways and getting safe download is a mixed bag

I’m new to Linux and I don’t know a lot, since bottles is a sandboxed environment I know it’s safer than just using wine itself, is there still a possibility you can infect your system with an infected exe with a trojan malware spyware etc

I'm using CachyOS+Hyprland for my desktop, and it has been a blast for like 99% of the games I've tried (I'm looking at you Cyberpunk 2077).

Currently I want to adventure myself into the consolized version of this setup (R7 9800X3D+R9 9070XT). I wanted to start a full Gamescope session and connect this PC to the TV, I know for sure something will need to be fixed, but in general terms, I'm wondering, what should I expect from Steam within this exclusive Gamescope session, specifically the launch options already set for my games? Will those be overridden by the Gamescope session itself somehow, or should I put them away temporarily?.

Hello all, As title, steam updates either time out immediately or stall with install at some percentage and download at 0%. Network shows a blip at the start in latter case but then nothing, the install does a big spike and tapers of slowly until it hits zero. I followed the troubleshooting guide just in case and followed it short of reinstalling steam client.

I am in Poland rn so it might be Steam server issue not me.

I just recently installed the new Pop!_OS update, and with it the COSMIC DE built on Wayland. I was interested in trying it because Minecraft 1.12.2 really didn't like being taken out of fullscreen when running on Pop!_OS 22.04 (due to an issue with X11/GNOME), and I would have to restart the GNOME shell every time I closed the game or alt-tabbed out of it. While it now works totally fine when I click out of the window, a new issue has arisen: it just doesn't enter fullscreen properly. Minecraft 1.21 works fine, as shown initially in the video. But when I press F11 or toggle the option in 1.12.2, the window increases in size by a bit (but doesn't even maximize) while the in-game graphics appear to render at the intended fullscreen size.

I figured this was an issue with Wayland, but from searching around the internet I couldn't find anything similar. I'm currently using the flatpak version of Prism Launcher, though I think this is more of an issue with the game/DE rather than the launcher. The game itself seems perfectly stable so far and hasn't crashed. I've tried using the GLThreadedOptimizations environment variable set to 0, which didn't work. I also haven't been able to get gamescope to work on this PC (missing dependencies with apk, and even though I downloaded it successfully with flatpak I haven't been able to make it work with Prism Launcher or my instance), and from what I've read I don't think it'll solve my issue either.

My specs are:

• AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7GHz 8-core
• GeForce RTX 5070Ti 16GB
• V-COLOR DDR5 2x16 GB (8000MHz)

(My PC should DEFINITELY be able to run it)

If anyone might know why this is happening or help me find solutions, please let me know!

Steam copy, controller most definitely works (in vanilla Elden Ring as an egregious example), Spacewar fix doesn't do anything. From what I understand there's a problem between steaminput and the game itself, since controller works in everything else.

My setup is CachyOS + KDE Plasma (Wayland), controller is 8bitdo Pro2 wired.

What do?

My monitor is a basic 1080p 60hz display, with no sync technologies.

My specs are: Ryzen 5600g, B550M Pro-VDH Wifi, RX 5700 XT

I'm using Kubuntu, with Wayland, audio being Pipewire

The headphones are plugged directly to the back of the motherboard

List of things I've tried:

PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 %command% in the Steam game's launch options
pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-quantum 1024 in the pactl info terminal screen
I don't have any "pipewire" folder in my .config folder, so couldn't change anything there
Running the games with Gamescope
Running the games in Window Fullscreen from the System Settings Shortcuts

None of the things above, worked at all. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks in advance!

After replacing my windows 11 install with Arch based Linux distro I have noticed significant ram usage reduction in gaming, how significant of a change have you personally noticed?

I have asked the same question on Pcmasterrace, now I want to hear from actual Linux users:
