Starting Minecraft in a newer Version like 1.20.6 results in black flickering inside of menus. The title screen works fine.

The flickering was during the loading screen too before, but some config I applied fixed that, but honestly I have no idea what it was. (I'm brand new to Linux)

The problem is not present on older versions like 1.12.2 or Beta 1.7.

I have tried using X11 and there the flickering does not occur, but I really don't want to use X11. Everything was stuttery (compared to the very fluent Wayland) and my scaling options didn't apply correctly.

I would really like to keep using Wayland, is there any way to fix this black flickering?

• Nobara Linux 39 (KDE Plasma) x86_64
• Wayland
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER
• AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
• KWin

Appreciate any help!

I've seen a lot of ProtonDB reports complaining about:

game not launching due to EAC failing to initalize dependencies

This problem can be easily reproduced in Back 4 Blood and here's 2 ways to resolve this issue:

Solution 1

Approach A

You may be using SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable if you followed Arch Linux Wiki for Wayland. For Easy Anti Cheat (EAC) to initialize, make sure to include the windows driver:

export SDL_VIDEODRIVER='wayland,x11,windows'

(Prefer Wayland, otherwise XWayland/X11 or fallback to Windows driver):

Approach B

Alternatively, $ unset SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable globally or just for your game.

For example: Steam > (game) > Properties > General > Launch Options

unset SDL_VIDEODRIVER; gamemoderun mangohud %command% Solution 2

If the above doesn't work, try instead to install Glibc with EAC patch (to workaround DT_HASH):

• Arch Linux: aur/glibc-eac
• Gentoo: USE=hash-sysv-compat

Content manager and Assetto corsa runs fine, but when i try to open any kind of drop-down menu it hangs and crashes.
Here are the logs from Proton

I run GE-Proton, I installed dotnet48 and system fonts using protontricks.

Any ideas what's going on?

I recently got back into gaming. I actually started on the Xbox Series S, which is a fantastic console, particularly for the price to performance ratio and it's energy efficient to boot. However I really wanted to try PC gaming as I heard mouse/keyboard was far superior. So I built a gaming PC, and put a dual boot on it, because I was led to believe that Windows is the only valid platform for gaming. Background, I have never had a personal Windows PC, strictly Linux or Mac.

Fast forward six months and I ditched the Windows partition. I found that games ran better on Linux, sure not as many games are supported, particularly with the kernel level anti-cheat software, but that's okay. I'll continue to spend my money on games that support Linux, and if I can't play a specific game, well that's not a bad way of self regulating time spent gaming.

Hey, I bought an Intel GPU and everytime I want to start a game I get an error saying that I ran out of memory

A look in my system says I got a clock speed of whopping 33MHz (so a driver issue I guess) it should be 2000MHz

The kernel modules in use is i915 and xe The kernel driver in use is i915

So, Hades wouldn't open today in Steam. I've decided to reinstall the game. After reinstall I managed to open the game but the saves weren't there. As I learned today, Steam deletes compatdata (or something) folder when it deletes a game. And it was syncing my progress with Steam Cloud. For it it was always "Up to date". I've lost some 30 hours progress and I'm not sure I want to replay all that. I really liked the game, maybe the only game I liked playing in years, and it's ruined for me. I'm mad. Sorry, I just wanted to share.

Why do I post here? Because it happened because of Steam Proton. I think in all other cases local saves wouldn't be removed. I know that removing game data on uninstalling is probably a better way for keeping the system clean but I'm still mad. Sorry again.

Edit: I think it would be better if steam moved this kind of data to trash instead of permanently deleting it.

Hi guys. I have a small question I can't figure out. I have a DS5 Controller connected trough bluetooth, but in steam it will only work in a handful of games unless I specifically change the permissions to 666 of the file /dev/uinput. After doing this it works for all games. Any idea why this is and if it's safe to leave that file with those permissions?

My distro is Debian 12 with KDE.

Thank you!

Hey, today I completely removed Windows 10 from my Computer and it feels great.
I dual booted into Windows 10 not a single time in the past 6 months and in summary only 1 time since I switched to Linux and that was when I set it up for dual boot :D

Like if there was a specific fork of wine/lutris/whatever owned by root and ONLY used to run games with kernel anti cheat would that make games work or not?

I get that that is a huge security risk but I'm talking theoretically.

Greetings, does anyone know a way to unlock the power limit for AMDs 7000 series GPUs? I have a XFX 7900 XTX Merc 310. On windows I am able to achieve power in the range of 450 watts.. however in either Arch Linux or Fedora 40, it seems that no matter what I set corectrl to it will not draw more than 350 watts, resulting in a noticeable performance difference between Windows 11 and Linux in more recent games like Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon Forbidden West and others.

I can consistently hit 3100 Mhz on the clock in Windows where it tends to cap out around 28-2900 on the Linux side. Using the latest Linux Kernel and Mesa. I've unlocked power control through the ppfesturemask kernel boot arguments. Is this just a hard coded limit imposed by AMD? A bug in the open source driver? I apologize if this has been asked but all my googling turns up AMD limiting minimum power levels not maximum.

Hi to everyone, typically i do not play games on anything, but consoles, but i got tired of how expensive it is to play on consoles long term. At least where i live it is become over the years by multitudes more expensive. And as im getting older i have less enjoyment to play inside, but i dont mind to play an hour or two outside.

That said heres what i bought for work and a bit of gaming :

I tried other distos like ubuntu, mint and such as stock without changing anything, but it wasnt good experience, the issues i faced on xfce and few others is the greeter, i couldnt use touch pad, but only buttons under touchpad, im guessing there 2-3 of em. There were some other little thing that been annoying and i couldnt live w em, changing the desktop envirement and greeter on different distros been quite an experience, so i decided to land on Arch to see what is all noise about, it is about what i was expecting and feels better, but i couldnt fix the sddm and managed to breake it twice and went lightdm-gtk greeter and given arch wiki existence i managed to do some stuff i needed without breaking anything, yet i wish wiki were more detailed, had to look info i needed piece by piece wherever i could.

Now about the game, it is warframe and the issues i have few i would like to find solution to for.

First thing i would like to have vsync on, but with 60fps limit, it doesnt feel as good as 120-200 that system is averaging, but not much of a difference and the battery life is far more important for me. i tried mangohud, gamescop and libstrangle and non of em do work, the game doesnt start, not even a launcher, ive been switching between different versions of proton that steam has to offer (flatpak package) plus proton ge, same result. DXVK frame rate limiter doesnt do anything either. I see a lot of the hype about upcoming drivers 555 and some changes about it, including that gamescop should be working, had to go and read on that subject quite of few pages on the internet.

The second issue i guess cannot be fixed until next nvidia drivers or there anything i could learn about how to reduce flickering, screen tearing in a meanwhile? I do prefer to play in a windowed mode, so can keep an eye on things related to my work and such. When i installed Arch it was a bad experince to play it in a windowed mode, then after another typical sudo pacman -Syu it was great for a day or two bcz there were a kernel update and nvidia driver -4, my guess. But i had to reinstall steam bcz ive been trying to work with pacman/flatpak and set em to install all packages on a different partion, with no success. The instructions, even official, on any matter is so vague to my taste and it takes way to much time to learn about simple things.

I can live with the first two issues, sort of. But the third issue is bugging me. With that recent kernel update i launched warframe and to my surprise the sensitive of touchpad was like in the system, which i enjoyed until i had to resinstall steam, i guess. Its the same slow unresponsive experience now again. The actual game does work great and there no issues with sensitivity, but when i have to use the cursor for navigation in the UI it is like 4-5 times slowwwwwer. I begging to help me with that one. I havnt had that issue only on Mint cinnamon/mate, but i had that issue everwhere else.

And the forth issue comes from steam, the issue is "dbus-update-activation-environment DISPLAY" i ran it in the terminal as is and with --user argument. From time to time on a login steam refuses automatically to start with given error displayed. It does start no problem immidietly from the shortcut/ctl with no issues. Cant figure out how to track down that issue, the only solution as far as i can understand could be delaying autostart, but i havnt read on that subject anything yet, mint had that option, where it could be set on arch i have no idea atm, prolly gotta go through aur and find something related to autostart.

Hi all, I've just made the move to Linux (using Pop_OS) having dipped my toe in previously over the years. I'm blown away at how good gaming on linux is now and how far things have come. I have no reason now to use Windows, Linux will do everything i need it to it seems.

Unfortunately my daughter only plays 2 games - Roblox and Minecraft - and for both she uses a controller. I installed the Java version of Minecraft but found no controller support, and from research online looks like Roblox won't work via Wine.

Does anyone have any ideas how i might be able to get over this last hurdle? I'd rather not dual boot if possible, though fear it will come to that.

I tried setting up a virtual machine but as feared framerate is terrible as virtual box can't access my GPU directly.

Exceptionally grateful for any and all ideas!

Hello everyone, so in the past I have been able to get no man's sky to work on linux. I was on an older version of fedora, but after I built a new computer and did a fresh install of Fedora 40 I am unable to find a fix for the error I keep running into. Upon hitting start the screen goes black and then a popup appears saying,

"The game has encountered an error and will now shutdown. Please refer to https://hellogames.zendesk.com/ for help if the issue persists and include this token as reference: 121808-0x11A3_ST76561198943861645."

I have tried to use that link to find a solution but this error is not on there. I can run every other game I own, after installing GE proton and wine, but not no mans sky. I have looked online for solutions, but so far nothing has worked. I have a Ryzen 9 3900x cpu, Radeon RX 5700 XT GPU, 32 Gib of RAM, and using Fedora 40 KDE OS. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated, thank you!
