Hey, I want to install a game from GOG using heroic but I'd prefer not logging in but the installer files you can download from their store (the ones without galaxy and shit). I've tried using the option "add game" and "run installer first", but no success. Any advice?

I was playing a platform fighter and my inputs were occasionally really off. not like delayed or anything but more like turning my around for no reason, continuing to register an input after i released it, and registering as a different input.

I have no idea what to do but I really don't want to keep going like this. It almost only happens when I'm holding down multiple keys so i think maybe it has to do with it being a mechanical keyboard with a driver incompatibility or something? I switched to ubuntu recently so I really don't know, any help or direction on how to fix it is appreciated.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been having a weird issue with Roblox chat lately, and I’m hoping someone here might have a solution or insight. I use the "/" key to quickly switch to chat, but it seems to be really inconsistent. Sometimes it works perfectly, but more often than not, it doesn’t register at all.

It’s getting really frustrating, especially when I’m in the middle of a game and need to communicate quickly. I’ve tried restarting Roblox and my computer, but that doesn’t seem to help. I also checked my keyboard and other shortcuts to make sure nothing else is conflicting with the "/" key.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Are there any fixes or workarounds that you’ve found helpful? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I have a wierd issue where my input in game under proton seems to be slightly off.

For example when typing '0' on the numeric keys on the keyboard results in an 'ö' (num pad not affected) and 'y' seems to map to 'u'.

Most other keys are unaffected.

Seems like an incorrect recognition of the keyboard type and I have not seen this issue in any other game.

Does anyone have the same issue or any idea what it could be?

OS: Fedora 40

For over a week now, The First Descendant has been crashing on startup. It shows the splash screen, with loading at 0%, pauses, then crashes. Verifying the game's files, reinstalling, deleting the M1 folder, all of these have been suggested - none work.

Clearing Steam's download cache and verifying/restarting/updating steam... none worked.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Not sure if this is relevant, but running on a MSI Raider GE76 raider with Ubuntu 24.04, 64GB RAM, RTX 3060 6GB.

Hello. Does RX 580 work good on Linux? I've heard that AMD stopped driver support for this card. I want to build budget Linux gaming PC with used parts and seems like the RX 580 (8 GB version) is more than enough for my needs, and it's cheap. If it works, how long will it take before it becomes e-waste? (for example when linux stops supporting older cards).

A platform that localizes gaming on a smaller scale, such as playing football in your neighborhood or basketball at your university, could potentially make the experience more immersive and enjoyable, don’t you think?

Just a heads up for those willing to listen, the program linked to here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1fhjqs9/poweroptions_blazingly_fast_way_to_extend_your/

Might be malicious. I tried installing it from the AUR and almost immediately after installing the "power-options" daemon, USB devices/ethernet/wifi started freaking out(power loss). As a sanity check, I installed it from the AUR on Manjaro in a live environment and even used a completely different system to test. Sure enough, USB devices/ethernet/wifi started to freak out again.

If you've installed it and ran into these issues, do:

sudo systemctl stop power-options and sudo systemctl disable power-options.

In risk of rain 2 on windows i can get around 300+ fps with my cpu temps hovering around 50 - 55 sometimes going just a little higher but never above 60 but on linux the average fps i can get is around 200 with it occasionally getting close to 300 and dropping really low to about 150 and below with the cpu temps around 65. In euro truck simulator 2 i can get better fps than windows but i have the same cpu temp issue.

So I installed Mint 22 on an external SSD on my Surface Laptop 3. I’m still getting used to it but overall I’m quite pleased.

The one problem I’m running into rn is that I can connect my DualSense controller wirelessly via Bluetooth, but it seems that it can’t actually be used. The only two programs that I have tried gaming with is Sonic Robo Blast 2 (the Flatpak linked on their website) and PCSX2.

It just won’t read any inputs whatsoever. If I disconnect the controller, and plug it in via cable it works & reads just fine no issue; getting it to work wirelessly is other issue.

Probably will be active in this sub as I navigate my way through Linux but again, so far I am quite pleased.

I'm trying to launch steam (I have tried both the Flatpak and Arch repos versions), but every time after it does its updating song and dance, it won't launch correctly. I do get to see the "Waiting for network..." screen with my account name and profile picture, but after that disapepars I see a blank black window (presumably steam) pop up for a fraction of a second (maybe ~50ms or so) and vanish again repeatedly. It won't stop until I kill the process.

I would try to get the entire terminal output to post here, but the arch repo version just straight up doesn't output anything to the terminal. I also can't get Flatpak to let me just dump the output into a file, and the output from the flatpak version is long enough that I can't scroll all the way back to the top to just copy/paste it.

What I did find in the terminal output that seemed unusual was this:

WARNING: discarding _NET_WM_PID 9166 as invalid for X11 window - use specialized XCB_X11_TO_PID function!

How can I fix this? And where does Steam store its logs?

I'm setting my up my first Linux gaming machine that will be racked in an A/V closet. I'm looking for the most console-like experience I can get - I don't plan on having a keyboard and mouse handy.

I've got a PS5 controller that can use it's center pad as a mouse out of the box, which is great. But, I'm struggling on how to manage switching between my two major launchers, Steam and Heroic.

Is there a way to switch easily from one to the other via some controller shortcut setup, or to load one launcher from the other? Ideally I could get all games in one launcher but it seems I need to add them all manually after installing if I want them in Steam, so Ideally I'd just like to use Heroic for GoG/Amazon/Epic and Steam for, well, Steam.

Anyone have any pointers or best practices on managing multiple launchers on a keyboard-less environment?

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: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3113390/Last_Star/

I’d really appreciate any feedback or advice you have. Thanks in advance for your help, and sorry again if this isn't the appropriate place to post!

If everything works out fine I will delete this post.
