Plasma 6.2 beta has the new screen tearing drm under wayland! This uses the also new atomic api in the kernel that was backported into 6.10.8 or 6.10.9 i think?

I confirmed it anyways when mangohud showed me IMMIEDATE for vulkan in multiple games i tested under amd, meaning vulkan will display the newest frames as quickly as possible instead of before it was FIFO, which can cause higher latency with how it delivers frames perfectly

"Immediate" in Vulkan, when referring to presentation mode, means that the image is presented to the display as soon as it's ready, without waiting for the next vertical refresh. This can lead to tearing, but it can also provide lower latency and higher frame rates, which is desirable in some applications.

Other presentation modes in Vulkan include: * Mailbox: This mode attempts to minimize tearing while maintaining low latency.

• FIFO: This mode ensures that images are presented in the order they were submitted, but it can introduce higher latency.

This is awesome to see ngl as you combine this with vrr and you have a nice experience with fps genre of gaming :)

I just received a steam deck not so long ago, is there any way for me to run roblox on it ?

Every time I try tabbing out and back into Sober I can't see the window contents at all. Linux highlights Sober as the active window and I can hear in-game audio, shoot my gun etc. but the window doesn't pop up. It's like if I stayed in the previous window and never switched if that makes sense. It's just blank.

This leads to me having to close the game and relaunch every single time I want to tab out which has gotten old very quickly. I'm currently using a laptop with an i5-9300h and gtx 1650. I'm also using version 550.107.02 of the 550 nvidia driver (the latest that comes with driver manager in linux mint).

Hopefully I can manage to fix this issue as I don't think roblox is playable under these conditions.

Friend has this issue.

They tried running the game with Proton, Proton-GE and Soda (Bottles)

Lutris displays the same issue.

They are using Fedora Bazzite, with an RTX 4070 and a AMD Ryzen CPU.

Any possible ideas? Maybe missing fonts

Hi Yall,

I have been using linux for sometime as a developer but never with an nvidia gpu. I got myself pop os up and running and honestly games are running better than windows on my dell g7 with 2080. I need something to help me walk through nvidias driver as it is little confusing. I am looking to set fast vsync for one of the games (deus ex HM).

been trying to launch NV for a while now but it keeps throwing error 5:0000065434.

Tried multiple versions of proton (GE 9-12, Experimental, 9.0-2) and same thing happened.

Also tried replacing the FalloutNVLauncher.exe with the nvse launcher exe. It fixed the error, yes, but then the terminal just kept popping up and closing, not letting the game launch.

I am lost, i got no idea what to do, tried searching for stuff but found nothing. Is there anyone that might have a solution?

OS: Linux Mint 22 Kernel: 6.8.0-41-generic

Is there a way to turn on more Hz when gaming and let 60Hz when no gaming?

I've been a Linux user for around a year or two. Even though I knew how amazing Desktop Linux can be for a much longer time, it was not viable for me because of the lack of support of developers towards the platform in one way or another. This was until major improvements came to Proton and WINE with the fact that Valve worked with EasyAntiCheat and BattlEye developers in order to bring support for these translation layers in their Anti-Cheats. Over the years, I saw a lot of games opting-in into supporting Linux, and a fair share of them were Multiplayer FPS games, but I can't deny the fact that a lot of them aren't supported, because the developers want to put their fingers into OS kernels... Even though EAC and BE are supported, developers of games such as R6 Siege came with an excuse that comes down to basically "uhh... no kernel access ;ccc". I find this very annoying, and I know these companies won't stop doing that and will ignore all privacy and security concerns of players, because they still get the money. I saw a lot of threads that are very similar, but none of the responses to them worked for me (such as playing singleplayer shooters and other generes, which I find boring). I know I can vote with my wallet, but I don't feel like it's doing anything. I even tried workarounds such as Dual booting or streaming from a second Windows PC, but they involve too much trade-offs. I'm looking for alternative approaches that aren't often suggested in other threads, or even game recomendations that work on Linux and are multiplayer shooters.

Thanks for reading my rant, as I said all suggestions welcome.

I tried to update my graphics card but I think I missed a point while switching to Kubuntu. My steam games were in the ''C:' disc and now i cannot connect that to the steam for my game files. Some games run like Stardew Valley but most of them don't.

After spending most of the last week playing games I haven't played in nearly a year, my interest in using Linux as my daily driver OS has been cemented. Sure there are quirks and bugs here and there, but that's okay. Even charming.

What is your favorite video game to play on Linux?

• Alternatively, using Fling trainers with Steam Tinker Launch.

I wanted to post this in case any Linux gamers needed this in the future. I use DS3 controllers for my Arch gaming system, because they were available and are the last production controller afaik with pressure sensitive face buttons needed for some notable PS2-3 games. However, Sony implemented a idle timeout features hinged on being connected to an actual PS3. Now, there are a lot of useful scripts posted around this board and other sites, but I found all to be dependent on non-standard python libraries, modifying udev rules, or assuming a controller will use the same device path. These didn't really work for multiple controllers, scale to non-admin deployment, or generally work for me.

I made a script that monitors bluetooth devices for specific names, matches them to their respective /dev/input/jsX, and monitors them for idle-based disconnection. It should scale to any amount of jsX devices, I tested with 3, or names. The idle time can be set in command args, and it defaults to 1 hour. If you want to add additional controller to monitor, use the names from /proc/bus/input/devices that match the respective device. Here is the python POC:

https://gist.github.com/0x90shell/9cef05b2deecf5de50708ce22d114fb1

I found this had pretty bad performance due to Python threading w/ 10% CPU & 55MB memory usage, though.

Below is the optimized version in Go that is radically better performance wise w/ near 0 CPU usage & 3-6MB memory footprint.

https://gist.github.com/0x90shell/0316b61748da27115a916f3aadf6ec8f

For noobs, compile with
go build jstimeout.go

Here is how I configured it to run with under a user service for reliability.

jstimeout.service --- [Unit] Description=jstimeout daemon After=network.target auditd.service [Service] ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 10 Type=idle ExecStart=/home/user/bin/jstimeout Restart=on-failure RestartSec=5 [Install] WantedBy=default.target --- CMDs --- systemctl daemon-reload systemctl enable --user jstimeout.service systemctl start --user jstimeout.service submitted by /u/Formal_Note_3283

It's Steam's birthday? Wow, I forgot, did you? To celebrate a little bit, Valve are giving you the chance to give them even more money by picking up a cheap Steam Deck.

.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

Hello! We have recently posted our game on the steam page (Joeys Shisha Simulator) and we are getting into the part of development where we will be testing internally. The game is being made in Unity and my role is programming and game design. One of my goals is to make the game accessible on as many devices as possible, but I personally have no personal or professional experience with Linux.

I've already done some research and found platform specific bugs , things with rendering, User Interface lagging etc. But I'd rather ask...

Do you have any tips on what to look out for? Or how to approach OS specific bug reporting?

I have Linux friends who are happy to test this for us, but any help and direction is great. Thanks for any tips!
