Guys, I see a lot of possibilities regarding commanding launch on Linux and I don't see anyone explain what each flag does at all. I mean, often I got a problem, search for a solution and someone talks about some sort of miracle flag that solves all my problems (thanks for that, community) but I really want to know what each flag is doing to my game to know the side effects. I have been search a lot about that and for proton the GitHub explains itself, for native Linux games (source) there is a valve documentation (example: CS2) but for commands that are not related to proton itself or valve games I just cant find the explanation. Some flags I have been used and I don't got any clue why:

SteamDeck=1

It look obvious that it states that I am using a steam deck (despite I am not), but I dont know what it changes on my game.

LD_PRELOAD=""

PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI

VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2

This one I dont use but I am wondering what it does exactly and purpose

force_vk_vendor=-1

PYROVEIL=1

If there is any documentation with that information I would be very glad if anyone share it <3

I'm trying to run KCD via Proton Steam. Game refuses to run, I get the following error:

Unsupported Graphics Card detected GPU with support for D3D FeatureLevel 11.0 is required

I have a Radeon RX 5700 series, surely it should be able to run KCD? I'm running Linux Mint on a 2nd hand (but still good) Alienware Aurora Ryzen if that matters any.

Thanks!

As the title suggests, I've got Skyrim Special Edition launching using MO2 (Mod Organizer 2) and I am successfully launching the game with SKSE (Skyrim Script Extender) I have 2 mods installed otherwise, Unofficial Patch and Alternate Start.

The game continually launches in windowed mode using SKSE.

I've checked my SkyrimPrefs.ini for "bFull Screen=1"

I've also added custom MO2 ini editor for:
skyrim.ini --- fFull Screen=1
skyrimprefs.ini --- bFull Screen=1

I'm not sure where else to look to solve this issue as I'd like to be able to play full screen.

Thank you in advance.

I'm running fedora 41 kde plasma X11, and whenever I try to screen record using steam, the video comes out like this. My PC does not have a dedicated graphics card and uses Intel integrated graphics. I have tried changing all the steam game recording settings and it still comes out like this. Any help is greatly appreciated

The moment i swing the axe to hit the enemy (especially a certain animation, a certain hit of it) the game crashes; tried different proton versions and it didn't help. Haven't seen such a crash during melee combat until i switched to the axe; other minor graphical bugs were present too but i experience mainly this problem.

Did anyone encountered such an error? Did any recent update fix or improve these in your system?

I'm running Nobara-OS, up to date. I heard that at some cases and for some specific functions (such as audio stability) the Debian based distros, such as Pop-OS, perform better but i migrated from it (clean install) for variety of reasons. Also have a visual bug that makes any icon look like a Question mark; HDR is messy to; desaturated colors.

Linux gaming came to a point where games now running on day one; but strangely, perhaps this fedora based distro have some quirks with it. For example, GTA 5 Enhanced took some time to get it together with patches; on day one, there were some issues that are fixed later on.

(Screenshots are the last rendered frames before crashing.

I tried Wine and it has some lag spikes.

Hi, I tried playing with a PS5 controller, but I get massive FPS drops whenever I press any buttons. I think using the controller causes the game window to lose focus, even when it's in full screen mode.

OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: 6.14.2-arch1-1
DE: Hyprland
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D (32) @ 5.756GHz

Hi guys

I really need help i want a new headset especially mmx 330 pro but I don't know if that's the best.

Also I have no clue what a dac was until now. Do I need one for a mmx 330 pro or not as how would I control the audio on ps5 and would the sound quality be worse without a dac. I really need help 😫 🙏

Dumbass fucking windows for some reason steals over 4 gigs of my ram leaving me barely 2 gigs for my games. Making even older games like tf2, fnv, & oblivion run like shit. Dropping the graphics to the lowest possible settings doesn't even help. I've done everything, & haven't been able to lower ram usage, & I'm sick & tired of bitchass windows stealing my ram. Is linux way better in terms of ram usage? Will it steal over 4 gigs of my ram like windows does?

I was able to run things fine until yesterday. Since then I've had 3 crashes, all after almost exactly 2 hours of play. The only things I can think that changed were (1) I switched my compositor from compton to picom (I'll try disabling this next) and (2) Dark and Darker had a big update.

Some system info and logs:

Please let me know if there are other good places to look for log info!

Has anyone successfully done a remote gaming via Sunshine?

I got an HDMI dummy plug and I couldn't get the headless gaming. The only way for me to get the Sunshine working is when a monitor is plugged in. Once I unplugged the monitor then replace it with the dummy plug, Sunshine complained about the VAAPI encoder failed.

I got paid today and I plan on buying one of these games. 2024 has more content but from what I've heard it's significantly buggier than 2020 both on Linux and Windows. Was wondering which one this sub would recommend.

Been trying to switch to Linux, but I have Arctis Nova Pros and I really like the EQ settings available to me. Just curious if anyone has hardware/software recommendations to bridge the gap so I can fully move over to Linux. I'm primarily looking for surround and EQ so I can use my headphones with something a little more robust than builtin drivers.

I know about the android package based launcher, but it does not support previews.

Is there an alternative that will allow me to run previews on Linux?

and yes I know about the java edition and yes imo java is better than bedrock but this is not my question ;)

I recently grabbed River City Girls on Epic Games and have been trying to run it on Linux Mint 22.1 using Lutris, but all that happens is a window pops up saying EG is verifying an update, then it closes and the game stops running. Has anyone else experienced this before? I have no idea what it could be.

Does anyone know of a way to use an Oculus Quest 2 on Linux. I tried ALVR but just couldn’t get the wired version to work because of metas stupid developer mode guidelines and having to need to apply as a business to use it.

Is there a way to use Wine or something to get it to work or possibly is there a way to use ALVR without needing to apply for a dev mode account while still using wired? (my wifi is bad)
