I am trying to play the demo of Oneshot: WME (Steam ID 3298810) through Hyprland on my laptop, but it always fails to start and shows a popup of "Error: Failed to create graphics device!" I have been able to run the game on KDE without any manual configuration, and I am able to run it through Gamescope under Hyprland. Using Gamemoderun does not fix this.
Is there some option or way to get the game to run without using Gamescope? I don't like that I have to manually set display settings for it.

Software versions:
Latest Arch packages as of 2026-04-14
Game installed on 2026-04-12
No Proton version manually set (although Hotfix and Experimental both don't work if I manually set them)
Intel i5-1340P (no dGPU)

Only interesting thing from Steam logs is that it attempts to start up xrizer (openvr/openxr runtime), but other non-VR Steam games show this as well and they run just fine.

Proton logs: https://gist.github.com/hackysphere/e269237b2c6ec309da16818c8de53f6e
The game seems to send the error on line 5370

The general approach to reduce the size of Linux kernel when building it with some debug symbols is to use make INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 ....

This helps installation or something like the size of produced packages, but it still uses huge amount of space during the build itself, since stripping happens only in the very end.

I generally therefore built kernels just completely disabling debug symbols during build, something like:

scripts/config --disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF scripts/config --disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO scripts/config --enable DEBUG_INFO_NONE

However looks like that interferes with requirements for sched_ext which has hard dependency on CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF.

How can that be built without bloating the build to something like 30+GB before it even gets to space savings from using INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 part?

Note: I want to make a normal distro-like kernel, not a minimal one with only very narrow list of modules.

has anyone managed to get fable anniversary working windowed fullscreen? ive tried playing with windows rule settings in KDE but when i tell it to never minimize alt tabbing causes it to become a black screen with the game being rendered as a 100x50px thing in the corner, whereas using windowed mode but removing the title/border and forcing it to maximize X and Y leaves black bars at the bottom and right side.

is this something gamescope can help with? any other solutions?

EDIT: gamescope indeed seems to have fixed the issue.

gamemoderun gamescope -W 2560 -H 1440 -f -- %command%

DOUBLE EDIT: -f made it run unimaginably choppy, removing that made it run in a window but you can fullscreen gamescope apps with super+f keys

It's wonderful to be able to run a lot of games nowadays thanks to Proton that Valve has set up for Steam, in addition of course to several versions of Proton that add more things to further improve compatibility (ProtonGE, ProtonCachy and etc)

But my question involves older games, dating from the 80s, 90s and even those of the 2000s, I'm interested in running Windows 95, 98 and XP games, it doesn't matter if it's Bottles or Lutris. Which versions of Proton and Wine do you guys recommend to be able to use?

For now on, I'm interested in running Need For Speed II SE, III Hot Pursuit, High Stakes and specially... Sports Car GT (the PS1 version sucks)

Oh, and one more question, how do i play the game "Let's Pretend Space is our Playground!" from Mind Magic Productions, "Microsoft Golf 1999", "Monster Truck Madness 2" and "Disney's Animated Storybook: The Hunchback of Notre Dame"?
These four games only works in a Win98/XP VM, and the MTM2 i never tested on Linux...

im dualbooting linux and windows rn, mostly wanna have linux as my default and windows is for a few games. i have noticed while switching back and forth tho, that my audio sounds far better on windows. i think it might be my headphones just not playing nice with linux. the bass is gone, and theyre pretty quite, along with people telling me the mic sounds uncharacteristically bad on calls. its a roccat elo 7.1 air headset if it helps. anyone know why this is happening?

Hi everyone,

I'm using CachyOS with Niri (Wayland) and I'm having trouble with the mouse cursor in games using Gamescope.

The issue:

Sometines the mouse doesn't "lock" to the game window or its block in the game so i can't look around in the game (it works in the menu but i can't use the view), and I can't look around properly. To fix this, I have to use --force-grab-cursor, but this makes the mouse sensitivity feel "floaty" or completely different from my desktop/raw input settings.

My current command:

gamescope -w 1280 -h 960 -W 1920 -H 1080 -r 240 -f -S stretch --force-grab-cursor -- %command%

What I've tried:

Using --backend sdl (didn't fix the lock).

Adjusting --mouse-sensitivity (it didn't work).

--relative-scale-override 1 (command failed to launch).

Questions:

Is there a way to get the mouse to lock in Niri without using --force-grab-cursor?

If --force-grab-cursor is mandatory, how can I ensure the same "sensibility" in the mouse?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Spent two days trying to get Crimson Desert running on Nobara (Fedora 43) with an RX 5700 XT. Game crashes instantly on startup every time with this error in the launcher logs:

RenderPassFilename: RenderPass/RenderPassShadow.xml RenderPassName: SceneDynamicShadowBindless PipelineName: TreeLeafShadow8 MaterialName: TreeLeaf Failed to load cache blob 592764d1_a691b44a_0_cd11d946_2_deba1dcd_c3aa1085

What I tried (all failed):

• GE-Proton10-34, Proton Hotfix, Proton Experimental, Proton 9, proton-cachyos v4
• Built VKD3D-Proton 3.0 from source
• Mesa stable 26.0.4 and bleeding-edge git 26.1.0
• Cleared all shader caches + vkd3d-proton.cache
• VKD3D_CONFIG=nodxr, RADV_PERFTEST=nosam, PROTON_VKD3D_HEAP=1
• Low preset via config file edit
• Nuked shader cache multiple times

The game's shadow pipeline uses bindless rendering that seems incompatible with RADV on Navi 10. Worked fine on Windows with the same GPU. Every success report I've found online is RDNA2 or newer.

Has anyone with an RDNA1 card (RX 5500/5600/5700) gotten this game running on Linux? Submitted a bug report to Pearl Abyss via PERS but not expecting a fast response.

Hi, everyone.

I'm new to Linux Mint and right now I'm having a hard time trying to run Resident Evil 4 (2005) on Steam (slow motion / very low FPS).

Problem:
The game runs with very low FPS. Executing 'nvidia-smi' doesn't show the game's process. So I guess Steam is not recognizing my GPU. Previously, my NVIDIA driver was on version 580, and this specific problem didn't occur, but then the game immediately crashed a few seconds after starting the gameplay.

By now, I've tried everything I could. I'd appreciate any suggestions to fix it.

System Specification:

Dedicated GPU: Device-2: NVIDIA GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile] driver: nvidia v: 535.288.01
Integrated GPU: Intel HD Graphics 630 driver: i915
OS: Linux Mint Mate 22.3 (kernel: 6.8.0-110-generic)

Details:

- I already disabled secure boot and fast boot on BIOS;
- I tried installing Steam through Mint's Software Manager (prior) and through Steam's official .deb (current);
- Tried different Proton versions (Experimental, HotFix, 9.0-4, GE 10.29);
- GE Proton 10.29 was installed through ProtonUp-Qt
- Tried launch options with 'PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1', '__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1', '__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia' and 'gamemoderun';
- 'vulkaninfo | grep NVIDIA' shows the GPU correctly;
- Executing 'vkcube' and checking nvidia-smi shows its execution on the GPU;
- Installed NVIDIA driver with Driver Manager (535 was the recommended option);
- Proton log includes the following info:

Hey there, so I have a work laptop with Fedora that I really enjoy, and I thought about getting Bazzite for my gaming laptop, but performances are tricky. UIs like Steam or the browser feel laggy/choppy, steam big picture mode is unusably laggy, and CS2 barely runs 30fps, when it had 200+fps in Windows 11. After looking into it it's something about XWayland adding lag.

What should be the best distro to try out that will support my hardware?

Hello, I've been playing CS2 on my Linux Mint 22.2 install through Proton 3.0 and whenever I quit the game, it continues to run? I have to go to through steam and select stop. Any ideas?

I had played the demo a bit and it worked fine but now getting a bunch of fatal errors running it. I don’t seem to be the only one looking around online, but wonder if anyone has overcome it.

I’m using an NVIDIA 5080 on CachyOS. I’ve been trying Cachy Proton, Proton GE, Experimental, Hotfix, 10, etc.

I actually got it through character creator on Proton 8 but then it hung trying to join a session.

Might be something that needs to wait for a fix, but just brainstorming here.

Hey guys, I just switched from a GTX 1660 Super to a RX 9060xt (I uninstalled the Nvidia drivers from Gnome Software) and I witnessed some weird behaviors. Cyberpunk 2077 installed through Heroic (GOG) works perfectly, while Steam games ran extremely poorly, with ridiculously high CPU usage. It turned out that that was Steam Replay. Disabling it avoided the issue. My first question lies there, why? I'd like to use that feature, since it worked no problem with my old GPU. Second, I'm currently playing Elden Ring, and I noticed 0 improvements. I still drop into the low 40s. I know that the game is not optimised really well, but that's a drastic difference in GPU.

I know this is a lot to ask, but can somebody help me? The only thing that I can think of is that something is not recognising right my new GPU.

My specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x

RAM: 16gb DDR4

GPU: RX 9060xt 16gb

SSD: 2tb SSD NVME

OS: Fedora Workstation 43 (Gnome)

Thanks in advance :)

I'm not sure why I'm only realizing this now but it's possible for you to run AppImages inside your Flatpaks.

This is useful when you encounter an issue with the latest Flatpak release and you don't want to waste your time copying/creating symlinks to a bunch of configuration files just so that you can run it outside of your existing Flatpak.

So we have for example the following patch which for some reason has not yet been tagged:

https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/18717

This means that it will not be available via RetroArch's Flatpak.

The temp. solution in most cases would be to either build the source code yourself or you can even grab the latest build off their github action/release page.

Unfortunately, nightly builds are only distributed by RetroArch using an AppImage:

https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/x86_64/RetroArch.7z

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

Extracting the AppImage:

./RetroArch-Linux-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract

Then when you launch the Flatpak:

flatpak run --command="/path/to/RetroArch-Linux-x86_64/squashfs-root/AppRun" org.libretro.RetroArch

Just make sure that the Flatpak has access to the extracted files using Flatseal, etc.

Has anyone encountered this issue running Warframe lately? I found someone with the same issue on the Warframe Forum but it wasn't resolved.

I have no idea what's going on, it used to work perfectly then yesterday I tried to launch it and I got this error.

What I've tried so far:

• Deleted and recreated the prefix
• Reinstalled the game
• Different proton versions
• Setting the windows version in winecfg
• Disabled shader pre caching
• Rollback Bazzite.

I'm not sure what's going on here/ what else to try.

I did have Goverlay with Optiscaler auto enable on but I've turned that off. Could that be causing this?

Hello,

I'm very new to linux and want to play wow classic on it. I have installed battle-net via steam, since when I've installed battle net via Lutris it can't find my GPU. When I've played WoW the previous days on Mint it has run fine, but I've had some stutter when I turn the camera around. Today when I logged in it stutters even more, even without camera movement. The stutters during camera movement are very noticable, more than before. Steps I've tried:

Installed protonGE and run it with that, no change.

Added to launch options: __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%, no change.

I'm running the recommended Nvidia driver, 580-open (haven't tried any others).

What am I doing wrong?

Some speccs:

A little over a month ago, I decided to switch completely to Linux, specifically to the Mint distribution’s Cinnamon edition, and I haven’t had any issues with the games I usually play—except for Monster Hunter World. I have to set the graphics to the lowest settings, but on Windows I always played at 30–40 fps, whereas on Linux it doesn’t go above 10 fps.

What can I do?

Here are my hardware specs:

Processor: Intel Core i7-8565U (1.80GHz, 8th generation)

RAM: 8GB

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce MX150 + Intel UHD Graphics 620

Storage: 238GB SSD + 1TB HDD
