Hi guys I'm trying to install Overwolf and AlecaFrame, but I haven’t been able to find any up-to-date guides or resources. Most of the information I’ve found is outdated.

Old Alienware upgrade

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. September 2024 - 20:55

Hi all,

I have taken ownership of a 12 year old Alienware X51 with an Nvidia GT545 graphics card on which I have installed Ubuntu 24.04 desktop due to the machine being incompatible with windows 11.

I intend to use this as a machine to test Linux versions of godot 4.3 game engine C++ extensions I am writing on Windows.

After installing linux, I found that it sees the graphics card (lspci detects it correctly) but it comes up with no drivers for it and every time I have tried to do this by hand through googled advice has ended up in having to re-install linux after completely losing the display.

It's currently in a state where it's using the intel 530 processor GPU which crashes godot and the GT545 is not active.

So it seems that I probably need a GPU upgrade that will work as a direct replacement... can anyone advise as to what card would A) physically fit, B) reliably work with Linux and C) be power draw compatible ?

Problem with the SHH THORN Shifter under Linux(Simracing)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. September 2024 - 19:55

Hello everyone,

I've just bought a SHH THORN shifter that I tested once on my simulator with BeamNG under Windows. Everything worked quite well, and the shifter was correctly detected in game. However, I had a problem when I connected it to my Linux laptop.

The Linux system detects the shifter correctly, but Wine/Proton seems to have trouble recognising it. I've tried various solutions without success so far.

If any of you are familiar with the subject, have a SHH THORN running Linux, or even if you can just give me some pointers on how to solve this problem, I'd be very grateful.

Thank you in advance for your help!
PS: I don't want to use the linux version of beamng at the moment.

Steam on Linux with the `-steamos3` switch - how do you enter the in-game overlay with keyboard?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. September 2024 - 19:48

I use gamescope to run Steam with the gamescope integration (--steam/-e argument). Works perfectly fine.

I use Big Picture Mode aka -tenfoot on Steam to get the TV compatible interface. I noticed that when using gamescope with --steam alongside Big Picture Mode, it gets rid of the "Exit Steam" button and replaces it with "Switch to Desktop" - which does nothing. I Googled a bit and came across a hint that says I should be adding -steamos3 to the Steam arguments, then add steamos-session-select somewhere in my $PATH and make it executable, have it run steam -shutdown. That works and I can exit Steam now through the "Switch to Desktop" button. But using -steamos3, I can't figure out how to access the in-game overlay with a keyboard. With a gamepad, I can use the Xbox button.

So I'm looking for either a solution for:

  1. Allowing me to exit Steam ran through gamescope through the power menu (without -steamos3)
  2. Allowing me to open the in-game overlay with the keyboard and not having to grab an Xbox controller

Does anyone know a solution for this?

adriconf any advice?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. September 2024 - 18:06

Has anyone used adriconf for Mesa driver configuration? The raven2 graphics on my laptop are weak and with the settings of this program in the perfomance tab they had a good effect on performance in games. I'm wondering what can be enabled or disabled in the Miscellaneous and/or other tab?

Error in Heroic launcher when trying to install Star Wars Outlaws purchased via Epic

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. September 2024 - 18:03

Hello, new to desktop linux outside of steam deck

When opening the game page for Star Wars Outlaws in my Library, it crashed after a few seconds and says "Cannot get game info". I'm on a fresh install of PopOS (installed last week) and have so far installed a few games on steam without issue. Other games on heroic seem to be loading fine.

I've also tried just hitting the download button from the library page. The modal that comes up just loads indefinitely, and I don't get the option to install the game.

I've searched for how people are installing this game and I've only found really weird workarounds using ubisofts launcher, which I'd like to avoid (weird workarounds are fine as a last resort, just not through ubisofts storefront).

Nvidia Optimus switching seems to be broken on Wayland native Vulkan applications with the 560 driver.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. September 2024 - 18:01

Wayland native OpenGL applications seem unaffected. They can still run on the iGPU. Similarly, both OpenGL and Vulkan applications can run on either GPU through XWayland. Attempting to launch a Wayland native Vulkan application on the iGPU results in an error and the application refusing to launch. Currently they're defaulting to the dGPU because of this.

There's people complaining about it in the 560 feedback thread on Nvidia's forum too.

Total Linux noob

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. September 2024 - 17:57

Hello, I heard how gaming on Linux is becoming a thing and I would like to try it myself. Here are my questions!

I play mostly online games. Do they work on Linux? I own Ryzen 2600 and RX580. Will PC be lighter in terms of gaming and FPS...?

Should I install Linux system or just stay on Windows 10?

Thrustmaster T248 mapping in Forza Horizon 4 specifically

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. September 2024 - 16:35

I'm having some weird issues with my Thrustmaster T248 and Forza Horizon 4 specifically. In ATS and FH5 it works perfectly. I'm using Kimplul's kernel module to enable Linux support for the wheel, and I've tried both with and without adding the windows drivers to the proton prefix. With the drivers, Forza initially displays all wheel inputs as blank until I go to advanced and then back to basic, discarding changes, at which point I am able to set the axis, but it can only detect the steering wheel rotation and brake, not the clutch or the gas. Without drivers in the prefix, it is still initially empty but once I start mapping it detects all axis, but as the same axis so setting steering clears the brake, for example. The windows drivers come with a diagnostic tool, so I tried running that from within the prefix and it can see all axis separately and read the values correctly. Any clues on what to try next?

Starting Ubisoft indirectly via Steam when game starts

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. September 2024 - 16:19

Hello,

I've installed Star Wars Outlaws via Lutris and Ubisoft connect. As I want to play it with my Steam Controller, I need the Steam Overlay in order for it to work properly.

The easy way is to add Ubisoft Connect as a Non-Steam game, start this and from within the game.
In Windows I add the game itself and Ubisoft Connect is launched when I launch the game. This does not work in Linux.
As I understood it, the issue is the Wine prefix. Correct? But is there a way to get it to work like this?
