Trying to install GTA trilogy, and when I try to run it, I keep getting the "Path not found" and “Unable to install prerequisites, please try reinstalling the game” error. I’ve searched around, and I found that this issue sometimes happens with GTA 5 as well, and the fix for that is to run it as an administrator. However, I’m on a steamdeck, so I can’t run it as an admin.

Any known fixes?

Basically the title, what short or long term impact do you guys see?

Do you think big companies that have once refused to support Linux will do it now?

What benefit or problems do you see with that much artentiont directed to Linux?

I haven't seen much change/movement other than during the first 1 or 2 days and that's it.

Let me know Bois!

Cheers!

I am an pure Wayland desktop user, I am tired of the inconsistency of xwayland display and wayland. I am also a light game enthusiast.

Many game platforms provide information on whether they support Linux, but fail to provide support for native Wayland. Is there a quick and effective way to get information on whether the game supports native Wayland?

Thank you in advance.

When im playing a steam game, most commonly with dbd and straftat (witch is running nativly) but also with other games occasionally, the game will freeze. Music in game will play but the screen will be frozen exept for my mouse witch i can still move to no effect. I know my system hasnt crashed beacause i can still communicate on discord perfectly fine as though nothing is wrong. But i cant alt tab out of the frozen game or use alt+f4 to fix . Sometimes it does let me tab out but only after several minutes.

Anybody else experience this issue? Only appears on Vs hands. Doesn't appear on anyone else or any other texture. Happens regardless of GPU temp. More evident with scaling on, but still present without scaling.

RX 7800 XT
Arch Linux (Kernel 6.14.4-arch1-1)
Mesa 25.0.4-arch1.1
Proton Experimental

I'm really hoping it's not a GPU problem, though it's still under warranty from XFX.

I've been trying to get this running for days. Using lutris, as per the recomndation of another thread, I tried installing this using the Proton TKG version, but it is telling me I have an invalid wine prefix. Any help with this? Log below

Linux newb here; installed Mint last summer (no money for Windows, and am tired of tech companies being so intrusive) after 30 years of using Windows. Love this OS so much, but I know very little about how to troubleshoot it.

I've been playing Helldivers 2 on my Linux since around Christmas 2024 (so about 6 months). I'm running an Nvidia GTX 1080, and have been doing so with default game graphical settings and had no issues. Now, suddenly, I'm getting a fatal error "Requires a graphics card that supports at least Direct3D feature level 12_0" before immediate crashes. I tried forcing different versions of Proton, but the best I can get is a drop in, a few minutes of graphically laggy gameplay, and then a hard crash that locks up the game. I don't know if it's related, but at about the same time I began to have a C1 client error on Star Wars: The Old Republic (the MMO).

Anyone else having this issue, or have a solution? I miss diving with my friends, and it sucks that I can't play a game I paid for

Hello, I am getting a new nvme to install Linux on, so I'll have two nvmes, one for Windows and one for Linux.

Most of my games are installed on a separate SATA SSD through Steam, my question is when I install Linux and run Steam will it detect the existing games that were installed under Windows or will I have to re-partition the drive and re-download them?

I tried using linux (bazzite and nobara) but both times my steam had to be reinstalled. First time was because of a mistake i did but on nobara i was just playing a game and then suddenly my steam closed. I tried reopening it but it didnt work so i had to install it again. None of my games were installed according to steam but the disc space was still taken. Any idea what caused it and how i can avoid that happening again going forwards?

After alt-tabbing/pausing

Normal gameplay

So, I've been having this problem for a while now and just can't figure out why it happens.

There's this lag spike that follows a pattern in all my games under proton, native runs perfectly fine.

However, there's this strange phenomenon that happens in which when I alt-tab out of a game or just pause it for a while and then return to gameplay, the game runs buttery smooth for like 5 seconds before starting to spike up again. When the game is lagging, I found out that it's not just a frame drop, but the entire game engine slows down before return back to normal for like 1 second and then lagging again.

I've tried to disable ESYNC, and FSYNC, using gamescope, checking thermals, checking I/O and my btop. no help.

Any help or clue on this will be gladly appreciated :)

Here's my fastfetch info:

Alright, so i have spent about an hour troubleshooting an issues I was having. Long story short, all my games launching from Steam using proton reported their max resolution as being 1080P even though I am using a 4K display, I use a 65" TV for all my computing and gaming. I ran through some steps, and I could use gamescope to override the resolutions and it worked, but it's kinda crashy and unstable with my current config. After much faffing about I figured out it was my system scaling options. Turns out that when the plasma setting 'scaled by the system' setting is used games report 1080P sincee I am using a 2X scale for the desktop and when it is set to 'apply scaling themselves' games will properly report resolutions fine.

is there any way to selectively opt something like Steam out of scaling so it launches all games just as they are supposed to be? Browsers and really a boat load of apps don't scale properly even with the GTK env variables and all set properly so system scaling really is the best and foolproof method, just annoys me because remembering to switch it on and off repeatedly is starting to grind my gears so to speak.

Advice is appreciated and thanks in advance.

Using GE-Proton as the runner and ticking Prefer SDL, the dualsense will work great (with xbox button prompts) for around ~5 minutes or so, then the game will temporarily freeze for a few seconds, then after the game unfreezes the dualsense will no longer send inputs to the game. Specifically I tried this with Clair Obscur and The Last of Us 2.

However using UMU-Proton, I don't have this issue at all. In fact, I leave Prefer SDL unchecked and in-game will display playstation button prompts.

Does anyone know why that is? I'm fine with using UMU-Proton, except in some games (like Clair Obscur) in-game videos will not play (probably due to missing codecs)

I have Ubisoft installed through Lutris on my Nobara system, and everything works perfectly. However, when I try to play a game like Far Cry 3 through Steam, it doesn't launch. It says "Launching" for a moment and then closes.

I obviously checked ProtonDB to see if the game was compatible, and looking at other users' reviews, no one mentioned needing specific launch arguments for Ubisoft or how to make it detect the game when launched from Steam. I also tried installing the games through the Ubisoft Connect launcher, but it won't let me.

I think it's probably obvious that I have Wine and everything necessary for games to run.

If anyone knows a way to solve this, either with launch parameters from Steam or Ubisoft, I would greatly appreciate it.

I recently made the change to Linux mint and i really like it.
But when i play Space Marine 2.
No matter how much i lower the graphic settings, it caps at 40fps.
I've tried changing the proton, disable steam overlay.
Tried using newer Nvidia drivers and screen went all black.
I don't really know what else to try.

Here are specs:
Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon
Kernel 6.8.0-59-generic
12th Gen Intel© Core™ i7-12700F × 12
32 GB Ram
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

Ok, so for the past week now I've had this issue and I can't get anything to work...

System Info: -Asus ROG Rampage III Gene Motherboard. -Intel Xeon W3670 overclocked to 4.0GHZ -12GB DDR3 1866 Memory -Radeon RX 560 (soon gonna have an RX 580) -512GB SATA SSD -Linux Mint 22.1

So, this isn't my main computer, just a collection of old parts i put together. I've been working on this project for a little while now just for fun and a some continuing education in Linux and computers in general. Probably gonna end up giving it away to somebody who can't afford a gaming PC... Anyway, I've been have some serious performance issues, like CS: GO only runs at 20-40 FPS on LOW settings... Seriously, CS: GO can run well on a potato! It's not the GPU drivers, it's an AMD card. Then I thought it might be the CPU governor, but no matter what I do, I can't adjust it, not with cpupower or cpufreq. The GUI versions won't launch at all, so I tried the terminal, but to no avail. I just keep getting a bunch of different error messages all basically saying, "You can't do that!" I tried so many commands, I don't even know what any of them are anymore. I'm all out of ideas at this point, please help! It's not really that important, like I said, it's not my main machine, but I've invested a lot of time and a little bit of money to try and get this thing running as best it can, so I'd like to get it working properly.
