Gaming on Linux - 18. Februar 2026 - 13:14
Component shortages are increasing thanks to the AI boom, and if you were thinking you could fall back on traditional HDDs - you would be wrong.

I know this question was in this sub before, but...

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. Februar 2026 - 12:47

in most of my games, my game runs at 1 fps per 5 sec. I have GTX 1660 super, Linux mint cinnamon

I also had a strange thing that when I played poppy playtime, it worked, but when I changed to Fullscreen the game started having the slowed down 1 fps.

Also I managed to run Bloons td6 at stable 60 fps by typing a command, that I think changes the proton version or smth

Oh, and I switched to Linux 3 or 4 days ago

OpenRGB possibly killing RAM?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. Februar 2026 - 12:05

I just seen this post on buildapc and this person was using Linux Mint and OpenRGB. They have stated that OpenRGB has killed their memory. And others have said there’s a very real risk of it happening.

I plan on removing the program and living with my rainbow RAM as I can’t risk losing it. The cost is simply too high.

Use OpenRGB at your own risk!

Steam games that work on Wayland don't work on X11 - am I alone?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. Februar 2026 - 11:44

A while ago, I noticed that some Steam games that work perfectly fine on Wayland don't even start or freeze after startup on X11; GTA V Enhanced in particular is giving me trouble, that freezes my desktop on X11 but always works flawlessly on Wayland. I mainly tested it on Gnome, but also tried Xfce (with compositor turned off) with the same result. I also tried it on both hybrid (Nvidia/AMD) mode and dGPU-only (MUX) mode, the result is always the same. There isn't a single game in my library that works on X11 but not on Wayland, it's really like Wayland works better overall - which seems odd to me, as I keep reading that people are primarily having issues with Steam games on Wayland, rarely the other way around. I feel like I'm missing something here... Also, performance on X11 tends to be better in those games that work, especially in dGPU-only mode, which is the main reason I'm interested in fixing this.

Anybody else experiencing this? I'd appreciate a fix very much. I read that people are using gamescope on X11, but that unfortunately isn't in the Debian Stable repos and I don't really want to install it manually.

My system is a laptop with Nvidia 4060 and AMD iGPU, I'm on Debian 13 (with 590 Nvidia drivers from the upstream repo, but the issue is exactly the same with the Debian-packaged 550 drivers).

Tell me how to install EZFN (Fortnite) on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. Februar 2026 - 11:27

Hello everyone! I saw that you can install EZFN (private Fortnite server) on Linux, but I don't know how to install it on the official discord server, there are no instructions, I know how to install the ezfn Linux launcher, only there you need to build and I don't know how to install it, I've already searched half of the Internet and didn't find it. I tried to log in to windows and installed build there and transferred it to a disk with Linux, but nothing worked for a couple of minutes, it loaded and crashed

Single GPU passthrough with AMD integrated graphics possible?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. Februar 2026 - 10:50

Most AAA games like MW2019,BO6, RE2 and stuff like CS2, SCP secret lab and Ready or not run at ~40 to 60 FPS on Medium settings [depending on game]. idk if it's possible at all but if its please tell me how?

Would swapping a 5080 to a 9070 XT be a good idea?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. Februar 2026 - 10:44

I bought the 5080 back when I was using windows, great card (albeit pricey) and I've since moved over to Cachy OS and really don't see myself moving back to windows any time soon. The gaming experience has mostly been very solid, but honestly I just love the OS on the whole.

The only problem I really have is Dota 2, it's by the far the game I play the most no contest, and it's performance is not good. I get perfect performance on max settings (as you'd expect with that hardware) but every minute or so I get 5-15 seconds of hard lag spikes. I've not exhausted every avenue of fixes yet but the things I have tried don't work.

Whether or not the card is the problem for dota though, it's not necessarily the only driving force behind the card swap. Primarily, stability is my main goal, and the lower power draw is nice too. I'm past the days of needing the absolute best hardware and all the ray tracing bells and whistles. As long as I get 100+ frames at 1440 on med-high settings, I'm happy. And I can pick up a 9070 for £600 and sell my 5080 for £900-£1000 so I'd be getting a nice chunk back anyway.

What do you think is the right move here, anything I'm not considering that I should be? (Ryzen 7 9800x3d is my cpu if that's relevant)

Legends of runeterra broke after last update 😕

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. Februar 2026 - 10:10

I was using Lutris with wine-ge-lol-8-27 to run it and it was working perfectly.

But since last week, it crashes upon launch and throws me back to the launcher.

The logs say:
wine: Call from 000000007B013AD7 to unimplemented function coremessaging.dll.DllGetActivationFactory, aborting

every time I try to launch it.

Tried installing d3dcompiler_47 and vcrun2022 with winetricks since I saw somewhere that to solve the coremessaging.dll those 2 are needed but no luck.

If anyone manages to get it up and running please let us know 🙏

Problems with Minecraft shaders on Arch (NVIDA RTX 2060 Super, Ryzen 5 3600)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. Februar 2026 - 10:02

Hello,

I recently switched to Arch and now wanted to play Minecraft with the same shaders on same settings as on Windows, but whatever I do, I only get about 30-50 fps, whereas I got about 80 on Windows. It doesnt matter how far I set the settings down, it stays at those 30-50 fps, but also doesnt get lower at higher settings. I guess I tried almost everything in the shader settings (decreasing shadow distance, TAA disabled, etc), but nothing changed the fps pretty much. Do you have any ideas how to fix that?

FSR4 not working with Mesa 26.0

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. Februar 2026 - 09:01

Hi All,

I was able to build the latest mesa for Ubuntu 25.10 using those instructions:
https://gist.github.com/Venemo/a9483106565df3a83fc67a411191edbd

but it looks like the FSR4 is not working. Here is the result in Horizon Forbidden West:

I was able to force load the dll through Optiscaler it won't be loaded without it. I'm using Proton-GE 10.31. This works fine with kisak mesa fresh ppa.

Anyone had similar experience?
