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.

Hey I really need help figuring out how to fix this. I'm a beginner on linux and I'm basically clueless so it's probably an easy fix but I can't for the life of me figure this out. I've been playing DayZ on Ubuntu for a while now and after getting over some initial problems its been working fine. A few weeks ago I launched dayz and got an eternal black screen. Since then everytime I try to launch DayZ , either via a script for mods or via the regular launcher , I get a black screen and have to close the laptop with the power button. It doesn't even crash just stays on black screen basically forever and i cant exit it with any key bind. I have tried uninstalling and reiinstaling DayZ , restarting Steam ,verifying game files , switching from using Proton Experimental to other versions , switching the map_count value to something other than 1048576 , using launcher scripts and nothing seems to work. I suspect theres something wrong with steam because before the black screen I always see on console " Unable to acquire exclusive lock on steam runtime sniper(3)" or something like this but honestly im pretty sure I saw this on the console during launching back when it was working fine. I have tried verifying steam sniper and nothing. I cannot uninstall steam runtime sniper 3 or actually any Steam tools like Hotfix , soldier etc. I saw on another thread that i need to remove them from all games to remove them but Steam still wont let me uninstall the steam tools so i can reinstall them... Whatever tips you might have on what I need to do will be very much appreciated. . I didn't change anything from the last time Dayz launched to the first time it gave me the black screen so it's not something i did nor an update cause im sure i would have seen threads with people having the same problem. I will probably completely delete steam and dayz from my laptop and reinstall them but I dread the download times...

I've been using Linux Mint on my 2012 Macbook Pro for a few months now and I'm sold on Linux as a daily computing OS. I was intending on switching my gaming PC over to Mint or Fedora and then discovered the issues surrounding anti-cheat on Linux.

Unfortunately about half of the games I play involve anti-cheat, so that is a deal-breaker for me. But before I move on from the idea of using Linux for my gaming PC (for a while at least), I want to ensure I'm not missing anything.

I know I can't use Linux natively. I thought maybe I can still run Linux but just run a Windows VM when playing those games, but my understanding is that the VM wouldn't have kernel access, which is require by the anti-cheat tools, and would also not work.

This correct, anything I'm missing?

When I try to open HoI4 on Steam, I get directed to the Launcher. When I press play then I get a Error message (exit code 127) with the following details: /home/g/snap/steam/common/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Hearts of Iron IV/hoi4: error while loading shared libraries: libOpenGL.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried everything I found on the internet so far, including reinstalling the game, checking the data via steam, and the usual things like restarting etc. Another thing I wanted to do was to change the rendering settings in the launcher for the game itself, which I know exists, however it is not shown, maybe because its on ubuntu. I suspect that this is the issue, because it is kind of stated in the error specification itself, but I don´t know what to do. Any help is welcome. Thank you in advance.

I loved this game up until they introduced an anticheat which killed the Linux support and did nothing to help against hackers (classic)

What FPS do you guys play that has that Battlefield gunplay while supporting Linux?

Ayo, Not a big reddit user, but would love to hear any suggestions from the community if any.

I am moving countries soon, I love linux, am a slight gamer and love to code random shit.

I have a razer laptop at the moment, and I like it (when it works), I'm a sucker for shit made out of metal and nice constructed laptops, but I did buy it second hand as I'm also a sucker for being economical.

But my laptop is dying, I would list the faults but it's too many and I've ripped it open to fix it so many times it might as well be operating on a corpse at this point, I plan to sell it on ebay (as faulty of course), but would like to put the money or part of it towards something new.

I ideally would like something smaller than 15", can game I have a 1070 max q at the moment, and that almost runs everything fine, but more power would be nice, but not required (although more power for running python AI locally would be nice).

Again I love linux, more experienced with arch, but not tied to it, just prefer the linux flow if you get me, and there isn't much compatability with razer shit with linux (although I'm not tied to razer either, just like their laptop construction).

Just wondering if anyone has some suggestions about anything I should get, thinking the linux gaming communitymight have something more applicable to suggest for me as I do like to game (just not AAA or AA), but hey if no one even replies thats sweet.

Even if its just saying bout the cool shit that you have or like i'd be interested to listen, will probably just end up getting a razer blade stealth or something if I can find a good deal on ebay.

Cheers anyway, hope people are having a nice day.

:)

I have my all of my steam games (all of my games really) on a separate drive completely from my windows install. Today I'm trying to install bazzite as a dual boot on yet another drive (so one drive is Windows, one drive is Bazzite/Mint, one drive for documents, and one drive for games). However when I try to point steam to the game drive in Bazzite I get a "Steam Library Folder is not executable" error and I can't select. I found a guide trying to walk through mounthing using sudo mkdir /media/game drive but nothing was happening so I'm kind of at a loss. Anybody run into this before?

I just switched back to Fedora Workstation 42 from Windows and got the majority of things setup. I have my nvidia drivers installed and tested some games through steam using Proton that work pretty well.

One game in particular that makes no sense as to why it’s struggling is Skyrim. I have a Ryzen 7 3700X, RTX 3070ti, and 32 GB of 3200 MHz RAM. I should not be getting under 10 FPS on this game.

I used protondb and already made the adjustments others used there and I have not seen any improvements. Am I missing something?
