There's a small annoyance with my otherwise flawless Linux gaming setup and the Xbox controller that I can't seem to fix, so I'll try asking here since I guess many others use this controller in a Linux environment.

I use a Xbox Wireless controller but it's wired 99% of the time with a USB-C cable. However, if the controller is already connected to a USB port when the system boots, the LED on the front stays off and the controller is not recognized by the system. To make it work I have to unplug and plug it back in, and then everything works like a charm. It's nothing major but I'd like to know it it's possible to avoid the unplug-replug thing and why this is happening.

I'm using Arch if it's relevant, do I maybe have to manually load a kernel module at boot time?

I'm trying to figure out what's the wine version that gives the best performance with lutris. So far I found out that the latest Wine-GE-Proton works the best. But I wish I could use something more recent than this because I might lack features in the future using this version, since it's not updated anymore. UMU is supposed to allow you to use proton inside lutris, but it gives me slightly lower performance using proton-experimental. When I select latest GE-Proton it gives me a good performance though, but for some reason frame generation is not working properly. Here's a comparison of what I tested in Ghost of Tsushima :

Wine-GE-Proton : No Frame Gen => 75 fps ; With Frame Gen => 150 fps

Proton-Experimental (using umu) : No Frame Gen => 70 fps ; With Frame Gen => 140 fps

Latest GE-Proton (using umu) : No Frame Gen => 85 fps ; With Frame Gen => 110 fps

System is i5-13600KF / RTX 4080 / Ubuntu 24.04 with liquorix kernel

According to this, the best performance comes from Wine-GE-Proton with frame generation enabled. Why is frame generation on Latest GE-Proton not giving a significant boost compared to other versions ? Also for some reason, frame generation in Proton-experimental and GE-Proton feels a bit sluggish, it isn't as smooth as it is using Wine-GE-Proton. Is it related to umu ?

Anyway just wanted to discuss about it, and see what are you guys using with lutris.

I installed LInux Mint 22 two days ago and I love it: I run all the games I play trough steam and amongst all of them TF2 appears to be the only problematic one. Team Fortress 2 started off fine but since yesterday I noticed more and more instability. I'm willing to try anything short of reinstalling the entire game because I have bad internet.

To be more technical, Sometimes after launching the window flickers and I get a Vulkan 64bit error.
The other annoying thing is that even IF the game launches correctly, my framerate drops significantly to what feels like 30, making the game unplayable, and this persists even after closing the game and lasts until I manually reset the refresh rate in settings.

So the title says it all I think.

My PC has 3 drives (this will make sense later).

An M2 that was partitioned in two. One part has Linux Mint, the other windows 11. Of course each OS partitions it's host drive, so they have more than 2 partitions now.

A mechanical 1TB which we can ignore, but was formated for windows and is like a shared drive.

A solid state 1TB which is set up as above.

Steam is installed on my M2 partition that holds Linux. The steam library is on my 1TB SSD.

At first the game I had installed (Kingdoms of Amalor Re Reckoning) would load fairly fast, but crash when trying to load a game.

I set up a link span (I think that's right) to a folder on my Linux partition.

Now my game loads very slowly, but does work occasionally. Most of the time I click to run the game, the button on steam turns blue and says Cancel, and does nothing.

I installed a test game to the same drive steam is on and it was fine. Loaded quickly and ran fine.

I installed a second game to my 1TB SSD and it takes forever to load, if it even loads at all.

What could the issue be?

From my perspective the developers of Specter Divide are just being annoying by not supporting proton/wine when from what I know all they need to do is request proton support , and it would be greatly appreciated if you help me find out whether or not this is the case.

I have researched Specter Divide's anti-cheat and all i could find is that they "use a combination of BattlEye and proprietary systems" but i have no idea if this "proprietary system" is kernel level ,as i think that i would be possible to theoretically use wine if it isn't , thus not being a reason for no GNU/Linux support as the community can make the game work if the devs allow it.

Mountaintop CEO and Co founder Nate Michell stating that "Steam Deck is a concern as a cheating vector" is bull***t as "making Wine and Proton calls translate properly is difficult enough. Even if you wanted to start injecting packets and packet sniffing all that interpretation is much more fragile than on Windows. It would be much easier to cheat on the native platform that through interpretation layers that would add additional lag to calls and make it more obvious " - credit . aka Linux users != cheaters

Therefore I would like to find out the actual reason for reason for no specter divide support.

*If u don't like specter divide that's alright but stop complaining about temu valorant etc..

*It might be a little unethical but lemme know if i know about any specter divide cheats , as the developers will understand the anti-cheat

I guess I have to open up console and kill the process to quit this game :p

I'm at the point where I'm ready to switch over to Linux as a daily driver but one thing has been bugging me. Whenever I install any game from Steam and Heroic, it creates a folder with its respective Wine/Proton prefix, and holy shit, these are pretty damn big. Often times the prefixes are as large as game installations themselves.

I've heard you can just create a singular Wine prefix but there's a huge chance you'll run into issues the more games you install. Is there any workaround to this? I have my games installed on a large hard drive but my OS installation is on a somewhat small SSD.

I am having an issue where the mouse leaves the game window if I move the mouse too fast or I get stunned. I have googled a bit and this is not a Linux exclusive issue, people report it on windows as well. I am using borderless full screen because the game minimizes on lost focus if I set it to full screen and I have never found a way to prevent proton games from doing that. I can't use gamescope, the current version of gamescope just crashes, an older version "works" but with serious performance degredation and visual artifacts.

I would love to just find a way to prevent games from minimizing on lost focus when set to fullscreen, but finding a way to keep the mouse restricted to the game window will suffice.

Hi!

Does anyone have Linux specific tweaks and advice for this game?

Cause you know how it is, googling a specific problem mostly results in windows fixes like "go to control panel of nvidia whatever" etc. which is of course unavailable here.

My rig:

Ryzen 5 5600g
32 GB DDR4 3200Mhz
RX 7800 XT
m.2 nvme
openSUSE Tumbleweed Gnome wayland

Playing the game on "very high", 1440p, and the FPS is just all over the place. Sometimes it's stable, going into the 100s, then drops to 40, then the cutscene plays and it's a constant 30FPS, then i go back playing, and it's switching between 60-80 every 2 seconds...

According to ProtonDB, i put DXVK_FRAME_RATE=75 RADV_PERFTEST=gpl gamemoderun %command% as launch options and that got rid of the 30FPS cutsecenes bug, but the FPS is still not smooth. Using latest GE proton.

Is there anything else i can do? Cause according to the system requirements, this game should run on Ultra lol.

Coromon is one of the better monster-taming / creature collecting Pokémon-likes that I've played and now the series is getting a new and rather different entry with Coromon: Rogue Planet.

Breaks your system. Not sure exactly which generations are affected...

So I’ve just setup Fedora 40 as I’m making the switch from Windows to Linux as I’ve finally decided to respect myself :)

I’ve got Steam setup and am able to play my games with no trouble at all, I’ve also setup ALVR to play my VR games from my Quest 3.

I’m now in the process of looking for a launcher. Ideally I want it to have the following features;

• Ability to create “Categories” which you can manually sort games into.
• Ability to add icons, banners, and cover art to titles.
• Modern UI design (no specific style just anything that doesn’t look like it came from 1999)
• Proton/Wine support (I mean in terms of being able to launch the games from the launcher using proton natively.
• Ability to add custom launch scripts for games in addition to or replacing executables.

I’m not sure if something exists that does just this but if it does please let me know! Additionally I’m curious as to what you guys use if anything as an all in one launcher. If this doesn’t exist I might look into developing something so let me know if it will be of interest!!

TIA

Currently reviewing well from users on Steam is Nordhold: Origins, a free tower defense game with high replayability where you build up a medieval Nordic village.
