Lately I've been trying full Linux gaming after years on dual boot. The problem I've noticed in every game: it has great FPS with Vsync off, but much worse, with fps drops, when it's on.

One example is an old WoW client. I turn off every graphics option and get stable 300 fps with vsync off. When I enable vsync I would expect to have 240 fps.. But I get 80-120.

Same thing in Overwatch: 160-170 with vsync off, 80-120 with it on.

The problem with having vsync off is that I get bad frame pacing. I can't call it tearing. It's more like whole frames are skipped. This becomes very noticeable on camera rotation.

My setup: Asus Rog Strix laptop with Nvidia 2070 Fedora 42 Nvidia drivers: 575.64.05 Monitor 240hz

I've tried running with Lutris, with Steam, different wine versions, different proton versions.. Tried limiting FPS to 120. Tried different env vars (vblank, etc).. nothing helps.

Hi. Has anyone tried running the wh3 mod manager by Shazbot on Linux? I am playing Warhammer III with quite a lot of mods and the mod manager by Shazbot is way better that the one offered by CA but I am having trouble trying to run the game through it.

Anyone else have a lenovo p50? I dont plan on gaming at 1080p unless it is only certain games like MXBIKES...i just bought a lenovo p50, i know it's old, but i needed a workhorse like my lenovo t440p.

Anyone have linux advice for this new lenovo laptop? I run linux mint on my t440p, and most games wont run on the 1gb gt730 + i7 4700mq...i have issues with games not closing and just hanging or freezing...i use proton GE usually

I was just trying to install some Witcher 3 mod, got it launched vie the Mod Manager for 4.04(https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2678), but it was missing my saves. I know where they are located, but I do not know how to get them inside my Mod Manager profile. I am using CachyOS KDE, if that helps. Anyone knowing how, help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need any other info.

Thanks in advance.

I was trying to play dota 2 on archlinux machine with gpu that is not compatible with vulkan api(gtx 560 if it helps). This prevented me from running the game. Though I did play on wine version of steam with gallium nine and it worked perfectly a few months ago but now there's a red bar that says "lost connection with steam...". I found out that Proton-GE(mine is 10.12) makes it possible to run the game successfully in native steam but vac doesn't allow matchmaking on non-native dota build. Official proton versions does the same thing. Native build just won't run because I don't have a gpu capable to run vulkan api. I've tried everything I could but I either can't run the game or start a match. What should I do? I can't afford a gpu upgrade guys, it is not an option for me.

I recently made a Sekiro cracked version work via steam by adding it as a non steam game So my question is if I can do this for games why do we need things like heroic or lutrius

I haven't update my drivers since 4 months and my system is still working just fine, why would I risk newer versions.

Not sure if I used the appropriate flair but after watching many videos and reading a lot of Reddit and forums I am thoroughly confused about the best way to go about getting and using ModOrg2.

I have actually tried a couple of times already but the first route I used NaK from GitHub and followed directions from SulferNitride on YT but the nxm wouldn’t launch (I think I messed something up cause it worked at first but then quit working) and not even 24hrs later the GitHub page and download completely changed with no new video to accompany the changes and I got frustrated with it after trying. After days of ironing out issues on my new Garuda setup as a Linux noob I may have just been out of motivation.

So all the routes I’ve heard about are proton (don’t know how to use but I have ptotontricks installed), wine (don’t know how to use but I have it and winetricks installed), and a couple of GitHub installers (one of which has been abandoned). I am sure there are probably a ton of ways. Many of the videos are outdated.

Has anyone done this recently that can tell me: What is the best most straight forward way to install MO2 on Garuda so the nxm works?

I am willing to learn new things on this side quest. (Any great videos on using modorg2 on Linux would also be appreciated! Since I need to learn that too once I get a working version on my PC)

(I do not want to use Vortex)

Thank you!

The new Nvidia 580 drivers mentioned some fixes for VR which made me curious to try VR in Linux again and I gotta say, I am completely shocked by how good it is now. The ALVR + SteamVR experience is absolutely flawless. It meets and I dare say even beats Airlink and Virtual Desktop on Windows in terms of visual quality, jittering, and latency.

Virtual Desktop had good quality, but had worse latency and random microjitters every 5 minutes or so. Airlink felt smooth, but the quality would dip in and out as it adjusted bitrate. The macroblocking in dark areas was very visible. ALVR is the best of both worlds. I have genuinely never had a wireless VR streaming experience this smooth in my life.

The ALVR setup process has also gotten a lot better. No more ADB sideloading onto my Quest 2, the Chromium-based interface isn't buggy anymore, and the launcher downloads and sets up the latest version for you. It was such a pain in the ass before.

I tested Half-Life Alyx and Star Wars Squadrons and the experience completely turned my view of Linux VR gaming around. It is completely viable now. The only issue I had with it was SteamVR not being able to display my remote desktop properly and only showing a black screen (probably a SteamVR Wayland issue). I also didn't try my Oculus Store exclusives which I am assuming just won't work. It's a shame because I really do want to replay Lone Echo 1 and 2.

So i have never had this issue before but today i got this and was kicked multiple times from my game fornot having the right operation system configuration. Something to that extendt. Does anybody know why this happened? Im using proton hotfix steam. Is there any configuration that is not set right or something?, i dont really have much more info, but will gladely give. i will now try experimental instead.

EDIT: it seems i was not banned just kicked midgame. Also it seems i am not able to play as i just get kicked going back into the game and a code of tfav5013. i currently can not play the game and am just kicked.

EDIT: Experimental did not fix it. And come to think of it it did happen after an update so might be a game issue or some sort of non functioning feature in proton with this new update.

Used Windows for a few weeks for something for work, forgot how much I enjoyed having Discord overlay in Windows and being able to read messages from people on there w/o having to alt-tab out of the game to see them. Does something like this exist in Linux? I tried overlayed but it just kinda doesn't do anything?

I'm on a fresh install of Fedora (KDE) and I downloaded DuckStation via its flathub listing on Discover. I know the creator of the emulator made comments about not wanting to support Linux even though newer builds are available.

When I launch DuckStation I'm immediately greeted with an update screen. When I go to update it, I get sent to the project's GitHub releases page. If I download the flatpak and open it up, I'm just brought back to DuckStation in Discover where I can only uninstall the app.

Anyone please help me to fix this issue. I am running tomb raider 2013 downloaded from fitgirl repack in steam, i did set-up also using stream but game is not lunching. I tried proton 9 and experimental nothing worked.

I also tried Lutris with wine and proton, but its also not lunching in lurtis.

I tried running same game files on windows its running on windows without any issues thats means there is no issue with game files.

I logged proton logs but nothing found about actual issue.

Someone please guide me..

No more background, larger text and changed colors. You can get the config file on my github: https://github.com/ihpsm/junkyard/blob/main/MangoHud.conf

Previous version was renamed to MangoHud.conf_legacy, it's still available on the same github repository. You can see the screenshots of previous version here: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1ldz4y9/want_to_share_my_mangohud_config_because_i_think/
