I'm trying to get Monster Hunter Wilds to run on my system (see image). I see people that say it works for them since Proton Hotfix has been updated a few days ago but I still get a crash shortly after the shaders are compiled, I already tried using PROTON_LOG=1 %command% and see if there's anything telling in the logfile but at least my untrained eyes don't spot anything glaring.

Yesterday I also tried it with Proton GE 9-27 and this launch option VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 %command%

and I managed to get into the main menu at last but when selecting "Start Game" it always crashed in the loading screen right after. (Freezes my PC for a long while until eventually the game and steam crash) Usually I find a fix when googling a lot but this one has me stumped. People report that it's just working for them with Proton Hotfix (new version released a few days ago) so I'm helpless. I'd be very thankful for any hints, even if it's just some ideas for better troubleshooting.

... hi @ all,

what is in your opinion the best Compatibility Layer Tool (Bottles, Heroic, Lutris ...) for Linux and why ?

I'm on Garuda Dr460nized Gaming and need some recommendations from the Linux Gaming Pros ;-)

Many thanxxx in advance.

Bought friends old rig for sole purpose of getting hang of linux gaming, I already have some experience with linux but more on admin side of things, also got a steamdeck so I know little something something.

My preferred distro is Debian, but I am fine with trying something else. I booted up Bazzite, updated, logged into steam, downloaded CS2 just to see how are things going out of box. For some reason, fps fluctuate 50-65 nevermind what I am doing in game. Every graphical preset plays same, no difference in fps, almost as if it was a cpu bottleneck but when I booted back to W10 and tried there, for some reason it looked better but that's not really an issue however it ran so much better. Then I tried to get something like OSD working which would hook to the game (similiar as you have on steamdeck) but I couldnt make it work and I gave up. Then I wanted to try a different game, that game was not linux native and Steam did not let me to install it - aight let's try install via Lutris as windows - steam installation failed due to 'cant read from fs' error.

Goal was to see how well is OOB experience nowadays, i didnt tinker further. I am not sure if I did something really wrong during installation/optional features of Bazzite or things are just not working out too well yet. Shall I continue with Bazzite or just jump to arch/debian and just figure stuff on the go.

Also, is there any best practices or baseline guides to set up linux pc for gaming?

PC specs for reference (it's old but it runs games I play reasonably well on Windows):

i7-6800k, 32GB DDR4, GTX1080Ti, SSD

go to cs2 game folder and look for cs.sh. make a backup of the file and delete the line SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=x11

----------------------------------------

my pc specs if you want to compare hw

cpu: ryzen 1700 gpu: rx6700xt OS: Bazzite 41

----------------------------------------

i was experiencing lag spikes with CS2. trying to find the fix for it, i found out from another reddit post stating that the game does not mesh well with wayland. since im using bazzite, it does not give me an option to change compositors(i think thats what its called. as much as i like linux im not well versed with it) i tried editing the aforementioned line to SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=wayland, as it worked for other players. it did not work too well for me. out of frustration i just deleted the whole line.

if this works for you guys or has been a well known fix pls put it in protondb. if it doesnt work pls let me know so i can delete this post.

also im not a native eng speaker so i do apologize for the incorrect grammar

game runs fine, no issues there, i just cannot seem to get the game to recognize the MHWorlds install and get the legacy content from it. Running Mint Cinnamon, beat Worlds forever and a day ago before i switched to Linux, and installed it again after the switch, so both games are currently on the PC.

so i have been tirelessly trying to find the source of the freeze frame dropping for monster hunter wilds and i read a lot of direct storage and rooting through protondb but when googling i saw that direct storage isn't REALLY supported in linux. they say that valves proton has rudimentary things that mimic direct storage. so is that the issue? direct storage isn't working so when it tries to load new data its just the nvme struggling?

For some reason, when I run any of my games with gamescope using the steam launch options, my games immediately close after clicking play. I'll click play and the button will go from stop to play within like 3 seconds. I am on PikaOS (based on Debian) if that has anything to do with anything.

After figuring out the basics, I find it easier to use than MO2 on windows. I do wish there was a little more info added to the tutorial, but it really is the answer to my linux prayers. So far I have only tired limo with skyrim but if you're like me and that's all you really care about don't let your modding addiction stop you from using linux. That is all.

I've heard that кockstar just disables online if the user's platform is not Windows. And that there's a linux build of rocket league, but online doesn't work there either. Are there any ways to play these games on linux?

Hi guys. Couple of guestions about Baazite and DCS.

TL;DR:
- What am I missing - Why didn't it start the DCS game?

- Is there a better way to do this than Bazzite / Proton?

Background info:

Not a Linux power user by any means but have been using it for several years now. First time trying to play games on it.

Read that Bazzite is one of the better distros for gaming. Got it installed. Came with Steam.

After watching Growling Sidewinder's channel on YT I wanted to give DCS a shot. Has also been several years since the last time I was on Steam.

Bazzite installed. DCS installed through Steam. Also used the library in Steam to download/install Proton for the interpretation while on linux.

Afterward, I hit launch in the DCS screen in Steam and all it did was change from "launch" to "launching"

I let it sit for almost 20 minutes and it didn't go passed that.

My hardware:

Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i
- CPU: Core i7-1255u / 12-core / L3 12mb
- RAM: 8 GB / 33 MHz
GPU per lspci:
- VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-UP3 GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 0c)

[Apologies if this isn't the right place to post this!]

Hi everyone,

I'm a developer who primarily works on Windows, but I’ve recently built a Linux version of my demo and I need some help testing it. Unfortunately, I don’t have a Linux setup handy right now to verify if everything is functioning correctly.

If anyone in this awesome community could take a moment to check whether the Linux build of my demo starts and runs properly, I’d be incredibly grateful. The Demo is not public yet, so if you DM me, I can share an exclusive key with you as a thank you :)

If not you can also just test the playtest, that would be helpful too!: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3441420/Dustbound/

Thanks in advance for your help, and sorry again if this isn't the appropriate place to post!

I just found out this application to configure gaming mouses and it works perfectly for me.

I have a logitech and I was able to control the Leds, the buttons and the dpi

Shout-out to the creator!!

For Mint it's avaiable from the software manager

Good evening (GMT+2) linux_gaming :)

Problem :(

I've run into what seems like a shader issue on Ghost of Tsushima, as can be seen on attached pictures

If I turn DoF off everything a little far becomes very pixelated, changing the "volumetric fog" quality seems to pretty reliably control the size of the pixels (less is bigger pixels). Turning DoF on just blurs the pixels and creates a mess that makes my screen look like it's 16 colors (as you can see on the "menu" screenshot)

Also, a lot of tiny artifacts appear when things move around the screen (see "gameplay" screenshot), and the map is... Not supposed to look like that I guess ("map" screenshot)

I thought it was a driver problem at first but other games work perfectly, and I couldn't really find people having the same problem on nvidia, only on red gpus like here

My setup (laptop)

• OS: Arch Linux x86_64
• Kernel: Linux 6.14.1-arch1-1
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H (16) @ 4.46 GHz
• GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile / Max-Q [Discrete]
• Nvidia Driver: Official DRM version 570.133.07
• GPU 2: AMD Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series [Integrated]
• AMD Driver: Mesa default
• Memory: 32 GiB
• Swap: 32 GiB
• WM: sway*
• DE: None**

*: Tested with i3 too (so that's not a wayland thing again)

**: Tested with plasma too

I'm starting the game I own on steam from lutris, I also tried running it from steam directly.

My attempts

• I tried with i3 and plasma (x11 and wayland) in addition to my usual sway
• I updated everything and rebooted (around a million times)
• I tried locking my gpu and memory clock to the max (force P0 state)
• I tried everything I could find on similar issues (toggle vsync, dlss, AA, ...)
• I didn't try to re-install the drivers yet because I don't want to break everything else and cry in my shower again
• I tried with the same hardware on windows, no problems besides throwing up and asking Linus to forgive me

So...

Help would be greatly appreciated, I can provide all the logs needed but I don't really know where to start, also if someone else has the same problem, we could maybe confirm a driver version problem :)
