Is there any way to play with a WMR headset on Linux because thats the only thing stoping me from switching right now.

Some better graphics and some minor changes

i've gone in to the bios and set it to allocate up to 8gb, and that works correctly. neat.

but linux mint thinks i only have 2gb, and shows me spilling over in to system memory. which is fine, but some games reference the vram pool and think i have a problem.

i've seen that other people have fixed it by changing something in the registry, but either they don't say what specifically they did or they changed a value that i don't seem to have.

thanks friends. i'm quickly learning to love linux.

This is a strange one, I've try a lot of suggestions but I think my problem might be different.

Setup:
AMD 9070 XT GPU

POP OS 24.04

Connected to TV 4k resolution at 200% scale

Some games launch fine at fullscreen when you launch them from heroic connected to my epic games account, but some like Death stranding show as the screenshot attached? While the game is running, if I change the scale to anything (either higher or lower), it fixes this issue and it shows properly in full screen. I'm not sure how I can fix this issue other than this workaround?

Hello guys,

I am kinda new to Linux. But love it so far.

I have an AMD 7500F, 32GB RAM, NVIDIA 5060 TI GB.

I am running CachyOS with Niri and DankMatterShell. (Last update some days ago, so drivers kinda up to date. But problem is persistent over multiple updates already).

Have ProtonUp QT installed and tried different Proton versions, seems all the same, some have more or less FPS.

I run the game with:

VKD3D_CONFIG=force_host_cached_heap VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_KHR_present_wait gamescope -W 3840 -H 2160 -r 144 -f -- %command% --waitforpreload --nologo

Don't ask me why, I was playing around with different AI suggestions and had some windowed fullscreen problems before. This worked fine.😅

Path of Exile 2 is running in 4k with 120-140 FPS. Even some more than on Windows.

But after 30-45min of playing, the game starts stuttering. I am monitoring with the ingame overlay and there is no decrease in FPS. Also the other stats seems similar, like when its running perfectly fine.
I ran nvtop on 2nd screen. Also same VRAM usage when it starts, same temperature (49-50C), same GPU usage.
I tried Vulkan and DirectX12 ingame settings -> same result.

I just quit and immediately restart the game and its running perfectly fine, until it starts stuttering again. And repeat.
This feels really weird. Maybe you experienced guys can help me. 😃 Let me know, if there are any logfiles or stuff I should provide.

Thanks a lot!

Hello, slowly switching from Windows to Linux, currently I'm just testing the water with a few games and playing some singleplayer games I've been meaning to play on linux to try it out.
So far I'm liking things a lot just some minor hiccups, how can I tell if FSR is working?
Using GE-Proton 10.28 installed to steam via ProtonUp-QT.
I can't seem to figure out if the settings below are actually getting FSR to work, when I look into the game settings it's showing 3840x2160 instead of 2560x1440.
Running an nvidia GPU and using hyprland on CachyOS converted from Arch if that info is needed.
WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=2 WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=2560x1440 %command%
WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_STRENGTH=2 WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_CUSTOM_MODE=1920x1080 %command%

Edit:Copied settings from previous troubleshooting, notably because those weren't actually copied correctly

Hey, since I swapped to Linux, my Mouse feels a bit less responsive, than on Windows. It is probably ok for 99% of people, but I notice it. I checked the events with "sudo libinput debug-events --device /dev/input/eventN", and the polling rate seems to be variable depending on mouse speed. Does someone know how I can force it to actually poll with 1000Hz?
It makes sense that this is how mice are polled for normal usage, but I want minimal latency.

Why do Vulkan shaders take so damn long? I'm running Mint rn (I'll post PC specs in the images) and for some reason, Overwatch 2 has taken the better part of an hour before I hit cancel, and now it's doing the vulkan again.

Just gonna sit on my bed and not look at or touch my computer for a while

I have no Idea what is going on, it boots up perfect on my steam deck. Which is Linux.

Im trying to find like an easy gaming focused distro that i can use on a clean secondhand laptop

Surely you guys know a couple right?

hello everyone,
I’ve been looking to move from Windows. The only thing that is stopping me is Marvel Rivals. I have a pretty modest system: Ryzen 5 5500, RX 6600 XT, so I cannot afford to lose any performance. If someone can tell me what their experience with the game is, I’d appreciate it.

Context:

Children of Morta is an action role-playing video game with roguelike elements, released in September 2019.

Players take on the role of members of the Bergson family, with additional family members being unlocked as a player progresses through the game, to a total of seven playable characters.

Issue:

Native Linux version of the game received an update that shipped libfmod.so library that contains a wrong flag blocked by OS protection, rendering the game unable to load.

Fix:

• OPTION A: Clear libfmod.so library's incorrect flag with execstack:

1. Install execstack from your distro's package manager.
2. Apply execstack -c ./libfmod.so in ../ChildrenOfMorta/ChildrenOfMorta_Data/Plugins directory.

• OPTION B: Replace libfmod.so library with the cleared library I uploaded.

Hey all,

Been dabbling in the world of Linux for some time, and I think I'm ready to make a more permanent change over to Linux. Because I do game dev, I still plan on keeping Windows around to test and build games, but I've preferred the Linux environment a lot more in general.

I've experimented with HDR on Linux in the past, but never got too far with it because I was still primarily using Windows and HDR just worked a lot better over there, especially as an NVIDIA user. However, now that I'm more interested in using Linux, I want to try setting up HDR properly, and I'm aware of two methods, but I'm unsure which would be better as an NVIDIA user. I have an RTX 3080 Ti. If it helps I only game on Steam no other platforms.

I know that setup is possible with Gamescope + some launch options in the steam settings of a game to enable HDR. I'm aware that this can be a popular option when your DE doesn't support Wayland which is needed for HDR if I'm understanding correctly.

I also know that if you are using a desktop environment with Wayland and HDR support (like KDE and GNOME) you can enable HDR via the display settings, use Proton GE, and some launch options (I can't recall at the moment) on Steam to get the HDR toggle to work in game

Any pitfalls I should be aware of and are there any distros where I might have a better shot of getting this set up properly? I'm open to using a different distro since I've found that they all basically work for all my other non gaming related use cases

Hey everyone! 👋

I've been working on Linux Game Bench - a community-driven database for gaming benchmarks on Linux.

What it does:
- Compare FPS benchmarks across different GPUs, CPUs, and settings
- Track performance
- Upload your own benchmarks via CLI tool
- Filter by game, resolution, GPU, and more

Looking for:
- Testers to try uploading benchmarks
- Feedback on the UI/UX
- Feature suggestions
- Bug reports

Links:
- Website: https://linuxgamebench.com

- GIT https://github.com/taaderbe/linuxgamebench
- CLI Tool: pip install linux-game-benchmark

The site is still early stage, so any feedback is appreciated. What features would you want to see? What's confusing? What's missing?

Thanks! 🐧

Context:

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation is a first-person shooter video game, both a remake of and a sequel to Painkiller), developed by The Farm 51 and published by Nordic Games. The game was released on 31 Oct 2012, for Microsoft Windows and for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 28 Jun 2013.

Linux beta of the game released on 16 Oct 2013.

Issue:

Though the game's native Linux version runs fine with proprietary Nvidia drivers, it fails to launch due to compatibility issues with Mesa3D drivers on AMD/Intel GPUs.

Solution:

1. Add mesa_glthread=0 %command% to the game's Steam launch options.
2. Replace the game's PKHDGame.sh launch script with fixed script:

That's it! Credits go to onthim and imamhs.

I really don't like the branded app launcher icon some distros have, so I made a SUPER simple one myself for KDE - it is very simple, but I think it looks pretty good! Feel free to take it and use it https://imgur.com/a/0OY3jle.
