HI,

Ive been trying to find a fix for this issue but i just seem to be the only one suffering from it. Recently my system was force upgraded from the Nvidia 550 driver to the Nvidia 580-open driver, everything in the system works perfectly fine, except for Windows games, which after launching for moments proceed to freeze, having to quit the game. Native Linux games work just fine. I have tried Proton-GE 9-25 and Proton Experimental but they all yield the same results. The weird thing is, if i turn off my laptop display the game plays just fine on my external monitor and vice versa, So i have no idea what the cause is. I tried various kernel parameters like nvidia_drm.modeset=1 and nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 but both do nothing to solve the issue. Do note that game sounds don't freeze, they keep playing like nothing happened (like the bgm) but nothing else happens it just loops.

Running Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon X11 on a hybrid dual GPU setup on a laptop (Intel+Nvidia), my GPU is the Geforce GTX 1650 TI, which is eligible for the open driver, and an Intel Core i5 10th gen. I'm currently on the kernel 6.8.0-85-generic.

Here is some logs for a game called Those Nights at Fredbear, For some reason Mangohud displays gpu metrics 0% so idk why that is.

i would like to note that some games don't freeze moments but minutes after, again not sure why.

Every time I press the button to continue the launcher crashes and I can't get passed it. I'm having to launch games from the drop-down menu in the tray but I know that it won't work once the games need an update

I'm currently using Omarchy and want to play games from FitGirl on my Linux, I know I can use wine to go through the installation process and then add the games through steam, but I don't like the idea of adding pirated games onto my Steam account where I have hundreds if not thousands of dollars invested. Can I use any other launcher to run these games? Or maybe use a secondary account to run these games? If I use another account, could this be traced to my main account on the same device and get both accounts banned?

Hey guys,

I'm on Fedora and I've been playing wow by using Lutris, which I had no problems, but suddenly one day I assumed it was after a new version of Proton-GE, I couldn't go into full screen and my mouse wasn't clicking where it was point but it had like invisible mouse at some place that I had to find. So I thought I had to try something else, which was installing battle.net through Stream, which worked fine and I even think it ran better than Lutris, a 10-15 fps more but that might be my imagination. So this morning I launched wow from Steam like I used to do and you can see in the screenshot how it is, just like using Lutris, so something must be breaking this. Do you have any idea why is this happening?

Hear me out.
I think it's possible making Riot at least consider making Vanguard be available for Linux.
If we start writing collective messages to their services, if we start appearing near their office.
Heck, I even have a friend who used to work at Riot and he can hook me up with some of the devs.
I am ready to buy a dinner for some of them and rant about how happy the Linux community would be if League was released for Linux.
Or simply sending them a private message.
I would definitely buy some RP.

What do you think? I remember we *almost made AMD opensource their management engine version some years ago.

I tried Nobara and Pop OS but alas i could not make it work with this card/hardware

Pop OS Installs but nvidia-driver-470/525/550/580 none of them works
And Nobara doesnt install in the first place

What do? 😅

Edit: Tried troubleshooting the whole thing with purge/autoremove etc. as far as i could find on google but to no success

So I bought a Oled HDR monitor and need some explanation.

In Wayland with KDE there is a HDR option in the display settings which I turned on.

But what now?

I read about about gamemode. Do I need it for the games to run in HDR?

Is there anything I have todo that it'll work in games?

Thanks for the answers guys ^

I'm on Arch with KDE Plasma Wayland
Nvidia 2080ti (nvidia-open driver), Ryzen 5600x

Steam Proton 9

The issue:
I launch cyberpunk, load my save, stand still. 50fps
If I alt tab, then tab back in, Suddenly 75+ fps. I get this FPS boost for the rest of the session
This is with the game in Fullscreen mode

If I Put Windowed Borderless, alt+tabbing does not give me this boost.

What is going on here? Its very strange. How can I fix it so I don't need to alt+tab once to get this FPS boost?

So I found out it doesn't quiet like to point to another drive from with in Lutris.

Is there something I missed or is it because it's with in a layer in a layer?
This is just example of what shows up when I try to point EA or Ubisoft to another drive. The Lutris is on main m.2 that was cloned and haven't expanded yet was hoping to balance games storage a bit. Steam and Heoric are fine with pointing to other drives.

On Bazitte Linux
I could technically move the install of EA/ Ubisoft so on same drive but I just didn't expect to run into this.

Using Steam and launching it natively, but it kept closing right after pressing the play button. Launched steam via the terminal and got this output:

Today I received an ominous error code from sober running 1.6.2. It worked perfectly fine yesterday. Does anyone have a fix for this?
