Guys, I've been using dual boot for some good years now. Linux was mainly used for work and Windows for gaming.

Yesterday, I was doing nothing, and I decided to give Wine a try (I've never used it before tbh). It's pretty straightforward to use, but upon making a quick performance test on a Wine CinebenchR23, it delivered like ~21000 points, while I get some ~34000 on Windows.

Is this performance drop normal??

I've had this issue for a while now and its pretty annoying, whenever i join in the main game its all alright, but when i join pro servers of the same game the chat just stops working, i cant see the bubbles of people above their head altough if the chat is "closed", altough there is no difference, you can see numbers of messages go up, untill 99, and then it stops

Hey everyone,

I recently switched to CachyOS and wanted to share my experience so far. My specs are: Ryzen 9 9950X3D + RTX 4090, paired with an HDR G-SYNC–enabled monitor. Overall, I’m really happy with the results, but I’m running into some issues with gaming stability.

My main question is whether there’s anything I can do right now, or if I basically just need to wait for better NVIDIA driver support.

HDR issues

I tried Cyberpunk 2077 and Silent Hill 2, but I couldn’t get HDR to work in either game. HDR is enabled under “Display Configuration,” but it doesn’t seem to apply. I’m running the games through Steam with “Force GE-Proton10-12”.

Performance / smoothness

FPS is decent (a noticeable hit compared to Windows, but about what I expected). The issue is smoothness—it feels like something is off with G-SYNC / V-Sync / VRR. I couldn’t find the right options in the NVIDIA control panel on Linux. It’s like the games run, but without proper frame pacing.

I’ve attached screenshots of my current settings. If something looks misconfigured, or if there are tweaks I can try to improve this, I’d really appreciate the help.

Thanks a lot!

Recently tried running Black Ops 3 with the CleanOps patch via steamtinkerlaunch.

The problem I have now is that I can "open" the patch UI but I can't really do anything in it as I can't see it on screen. Does anyone really know a fix for this?

I've been playing all of Rockstar Games titles through their launcher flawlessly for over two years. Now it suddenly fails to load and shows this error:

https://preview.redd.it/xy8a6oeccljf1.png?width=987&format=png&auto=webp&s=d2d451c965b497dc8caaff2c29e508395c193417

Sometimes it makes it to the login prompt but then also fails randomly:

Offline Mode also doesn't work because the DRM forces me to log in to verify my purchase.

I have also attached a log of me launching the app, it failing, me clicking retry, it failing again and then me clicking close: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jaeoqJ767Kf2VMBz-zH5O7pqDiLuWi7c/view?usp=sharing (Google Drive because the Log is too long)

I have already tried different Proton and GE-Proton versions Experimental, most recent, and GE 10-4 through 10-12 (GE 10-4 was working perfectly only a few weeks ago). I also ran it as a non Steam app and through Lutris. I have also tried installing with a freshly downloaded installer into a freshly created prefix, but it resulted in the same error (in this case a good thing because it should be easily reproducible). If you can't reproduce it, this may be a result of a bit too much of tinkering on my side. Then I'll have a good excuse for distro hopping.

The combo dock/kvm is pretty niche and even worse when you require dual DisplayPort or DisplayPort MST.

Av access has dock/kvm: iDock B10.I asked on their forum if is does support DisplayPort MST.

Are there any other recomendations instead?

This is a Linux+AMD-GPU specific requirement because the HDMI Forum does not allow AMD to make open source drivers that support HDMI 2.1 (https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/hdmi-forum-to-amd-no-you-cant-make-an-open-source-hdmi-2-1-driver/)

How to launch SSEEdit though Mod Organizer 2 and have SSEEdit run in Windows xp.

As the title suggests, I would like to have an unfocussed window listen to keystrokes, so that if I press certain hotkeys, the unfocussed window responds. As I understand this has become more difficult under Wayland, but besides that, I am having trouble finding actionable info on the topic.

I have a pretty basic install of Ubuntu 24.04, using GNOME. The main programme I want to set this up for (VNyan) is ran through Proton, since it's Windows software, and consequently I don't expect portals to work. The main results I can find when trying to look for this are keyboard shortcuts and ydotool, but since I am not trying to run commands or do things programmatically, these also don't seem particularly helpful.

I believe Hyprland binds may be able what I want to do, but before trying to install that, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas that could work on my setup as is. Thanks for any help!

Game has been working flawlessly out of the box since I switched to linux. but 3 days ago I finally got Phantom LIberty, and the game started freezing, seemingly at random, between 2 minutes and an hour into gameplay. Video freezes and audio continues to play (although there is no 'new audio'. If there is dialogue, the current sentence ends and then its just the same background music)

I have tried multiple versions of proton, including experimental, GE, and Hotfix.

Anyone have ideas?

I’m moving to Linux from windows and I’m stuck between popos and nobara. I’ve used Linux in school but never as my main os so I’m not a total noob. Any suggestions? I’m also open to other destro. Just with the research I’ve done for gaming on Linux those 2 popped up the most.

Im trying to install the battlenet launcher through Lutris, on Linux Mint. https://lutris.net/games/battlenet/

starts and gets to a certain point (typically showing as 60-90% completed in the battlenet launcher) where the program stops. Here is the log.

output->count == signaled_count' failed. Started initial process 5595 from /home/user/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/wine-ge-8-26-x86_64/bin/wine /home/user/.cache/lutris/installer/battlenet/setup/Battle.net-Setup.exe Start monitoring process. fsync: up and running. wine: RLIMIT_NICE is <= 20, unable to use setpriority safely wineserver: ../server/sock.c:1154: complete_async_poll: Assertion output->count == signaled_count' failed. wine client error:1f8: write: Bad file descriptor

in lutris I have made sure to set wine to version wine-10.8-staging-tkg-ntsync (x86_64) in runner options but when installing battlenet (see above) it still shows as using the default wine-ge-8-26. Is this the problem? Seems like strange behaviour.
