Hi all, so I’m playing Disco Elysium on my ThinkPad P72. I’m using Manjaro and it works great on Wayland.

The problem I have is that the game works beautifully on battery, with the Nvidia Quadro P4200 (Pascal) pulling about 35W.

But plugged in, the card loosens all restraints and the draw varies from 50-70W.

Given that I get 60fps at 4K without the extra power draw, this is completely unnecessary. And it means I can’t keep the fans to a constant low level without the GPU hotspot temp getting up to 89C or more.

As you know the Nvidia-smi options for power or clock limiting are more restricted for mobile cards. -pl doesn’t work. -ac appears to work but isn’t carried out in practice.

All I want is for the card to be fooled into thinking it’s on battery. But I’m stumped. LACT can’t change power limits either.

Cronos: The New Dawn is the latest survival horror game from Bloober Team developers of the SILENT HILL 2 remake. It's now Steam Deck Verified too!

I’m on Bazzite (installed in desktop mode on my lowkey potato Lenovo PC), Sober is updated to the latest version as of typing this. It’s not a real issue because I can always play on my phone for 17+ experiences, but I sort of wish I had the option still.

Any other game with microphone that isn’t age restricted works fine. I am also age verified and I have the settings to where I am able to join. I’m mostly a Linux noob so I don’t understand what it could be.

I click any 17+ game, then it simply closes. No crash report. I don’t even get to see a Roblox loading screen, it just seems to give up on even trying.

To my best assumption I would guess it’s having trouble verifying my information, so that’s mostly why I haven’t bothered because I feel like there would be nothing I would know how to do in that situation. But again, I’m a noob, so it could simply be something I don’t know.

I guess I mostly wanted to also ask because when I searched I only got results for if it crashed in general. I thought maybe this would help someone else down the line when they’re searching if anyone has answers. Let me know if there are any other important specifications. I can also get my hardware information, but I just assumed it was irrelevant because on windows I had no issues, but I’m no tech wizard so idk if it’s important. 😅

Valve, please save us from these prices with a Steam Deck 2. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 arrives officially in October but it's a bit shocking.

I hope it's ok to post here - I’ve just released a demo of my new indie game, also on Linux. You can check it out on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3357170/Dude_Where_Is_My_Beer_A_New_Hop_Demo/

I only use Windows, but a friend of mine tested the Linux version and everything seemed to work fine. Still, please let me know if you run into any issues. Thanks a lot! :)

I get "The setup of Dualsense Wireless Controller has failed" via the GUI. I have to connect via terminal and if I do that and play something like Ghost of Tsushima, it will knock the bluetooth stack offline after a minute or two, sometimes faster, which means my headset also disconnects.

I do not have this issue on Gnome on any distro I've tried. Confirmed issue on EndeavourOS, CachyOS, Fedora while using KDE.

I'd appreciate any help in trying to diagnose this. Let me know what logs and from where you might need.

Hi! I'm had an issue, playing on linux thru steam, where the sound in game is very glitchy. Even other things, like music or youtube videos in the background start glitching if the game is running

I switched on compatibility tools in the properties of the game and now it runs perfectly, just a tip for anyone who runs into this issue

Whenever I enter this specific room, my game just crashes. Everything else works perfectly except for this. I have tried updating and restarting, and changing the version of proton I'm using, and it just refuses to work.

I'm on Arch Linux, and have tried proton hotfix, and 8.0-5.

Hi, since I'm getting a new PC soon, I started looking for some gaming-focused Linux distros (I still don't know how to configure them) and found these two. (I know there are others, but I liked these two the most).

Which is the best? Or the one that offers the best performance. I think I heard Cachy was good, but Garuda seemed interesting to me, and I don't see it getting much attention. Sorry if it looks like a dumb question, I'm still new to Linux (I'm using Zorin for now).

The video card it's a Rx 6600 btw-

All of my gamepad’s inputs work fine in Steam’s controller test and in the system settings, but in actual games the triggers act really buggy. I also tried a web gamepad tester, and the triggers don’t register at all.

I’m on Arch Linux with KDE Plasma running Wayland, using an 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller connected via Dongo.

Run the ReDream emulator with "Steam Linux Runtime". (distrobox or Lutris runtime might also work too). SteamOS 3.7.15 Beta absolutely ruins the performance of the ReDream emulator but running it with the Steam Linux Runtime fixes the issue.

хотелось бы спросить как вы пользуетесь wine в линуксе и как вы его устанавливали, просто я решил замарочится и создать отдельного пользователя под wine, убрать его подальше от папки home чтобы вирусы под действием wine не проникли в корневую папку, я знаю что вирусы которые писались под винду ( точнее под её совместимости) хотя вирусы которые писались на каком-то с++ могут быть опасны даже на линуксе, хотелось бы спросить какой у вас опыт в этом и как я могу ещё обезопасить себя от вредоносного п.о. ( простите если кринге вопрос).

ENGLISH:
I would like to ask how you use Wine in Linux and how you installed it. I decided to go the extra mile and create a separate user for Wine, restricting access to the home folder so that viruses running under Wine cannot penetrate the root folder. I know that viruses written for Windows (or rather, for its compatibility) can be dangerous even on Linux, although viruses written in C++ can also be dangerous. I would like to ask about your experience in this area and how I can further protect myself from malicious software (sorry if this is a silly question).

I seem to be having performance issues running Silksong with the native linux version on Steam. Does anyone have any idea why this may be happening. I do have the drivers install but for some reason I cannot get it to go above 70 fps at 1080p. I have a RTX 3050 6GB so I know it should be able to run this simple game at 144 fps

For some reason my entire PC will turn off after playing the game after about 10-20 minutes.

My PC might be overheating but I haven't experienced this issue in any other game.

I tried lowering the graphics settings, increasing the fan speeds in the bios, and using different Proton versions (GE, Experimental, and 9.0-4) without success.

My specs are:

OS: Pop OS

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800 XT

GPU: RX 6800 XT

16 GB RAM
