Hi everyone, I’m trying to install Star Wars Battlefront II (Celebration Edition) from Epic Games but I can’t get it to run on Linux.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

• Heroic Launcher: I was able to install the game, but when I launch it through the EA App I get this error: “Failed to launch game. An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later.”
• Lutris Epic Games installer: the problem here is that Epic Games never opens.
  • At one point I managed to get EA App to launch when trying to install the game from Epic, but as soon as the download starts, EA App crashes every time.
• Direct EA App installation attempts: if I try to install EA App in any other way (not through Heroic’s installation of Battlefront II), I always get this installer error: “The EA app encountered an error and couldn't finish installing (error code: INST-14-1603).”

So right now I’m stuck — neither launcher seems to behave properly, and I haven’t found a clean way to install it so I can at least play the campaign.

Has anyone here managed to get Battlefront II running on Linux (through Epic)?
I don’t mind if it’s via Heroic, Lutris, or even a manual prefix setup, as long as it works.

Thanks in advance

hi, for the past day i've been trying to play warframe on linux mint, and the game refuses to launch, or even appear in system monitor.
i'm running it with these parameters (-PCDX11 -EAC_LAUNCHER_PARAMETERS="--launcher-auth --launcher-token --launcher-language en" ) and the latest PROTON GE.

I have steam JP account so I can download and install the game but the game won't start at all. I don't even see the shader loading thing nor game window pop. I've tried adding LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 %command% to the launch option but it didn't help.

Here is the log file. I can't make heads of how to read the log. https://files.catbox.moe/yjydn4.log

I've been interested in upgrading to Linux for quite some time now, I'll get into the important questions straight away.
1) Which version of Linux has a clean ui similar to windows in which I'm able to also game and do video editing work on for university.
2) Is there a lot of terminal work / coding involved with said Linux version (If so is it hard to learn)
3) On average how big is the performance boost when switching to Linux. (I'll provide my specs below and am free to offer any other specs that I have not mentioned).
Specs:
Intel i5-10400f
Asus Prime H410M-D
Nvidia RTX 3060ti
16GB Ram
1TB storage
2 monitors.
I'll regularly be checking back to look for any support.

Hi all!

Currently using the latest LTR of Ubuntu on a school/work laptop, and am heavily considering swapping my primary desktop PC at home from Windows 11 to linux (probably also Ubuntu, just am familiar with it). I use my desktop primarily for gaming. Is there really anything I'd be missing as far as changing OSes? Just trying to evaluate it from all angles before making the dive.

Hi All,

I’m having an issue with my Xbox controllers where they behave like one of the directional sticks is stuck and the charter in games just spins endlessly.

I’m having this issue with two different Linux distributions and with two different Xbox controllers. One is Nobara with a USB VoYEE Xbox controller clone and the other is Bazzite with the Microsoft Wireless dongle Xbox controller.

It only happens with native Linux games. It happens if they are are installed via Flatpak, RPM or just running binaries directly from an uncompressed tarball or zip. It does not happen when running games using Proton in Steam or Lutris.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Here’s a YouTube link showing an example if the issue.

This is the second Windows game I try to play with this error: the game seems to run in the correct resolution (the intro videos are in the correct resolution/alignment) but as soon as I get to a menu (rendered, interactive part) the resolution is completely wrong and the image is out of screen.

Relevant information:

Game: Virtua Tennis 4 (same problem with GRID)

OS: cachyOS

WM: Hyprland

Launcher: Lutris

Runner: wine-ge-8-26-x86_64

Gamescope: disabled (nothing changes if enabled and I'm having other problems with it)

Any tips on how to fix this issue?

As the title says, Doom: The Dark Ages (Latest-Steam) will launch and play fine, but eventually I black screen, with no consistency as to where they die, as sometimes the game will work fine until it suddenly decides that I should no longer have fun.

The tweaks that I've tried are:
- Switching from mesa 25.1 to 25.2 (testing) and 25.3 (mesa-git)
- Switching to AMDVLK
- Proton-GE 10.12, Proton 10 beta, Proton 9
- Disabling shader pre-caching
- Reinstalling the game
- Using gamemode

Nothing works, no matter what I do the game will, sooner or later, crash my drivers and give me a black screen on both displays that are plugged in via DisplayPort.

Relevant system specs: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X, AMD Radeon RX 9070XT, Arch Linux running the Linux 6.16.1-zen1-1-zen kernel, KDE Plasma 6.4.4 Wayland, no swap partition or swap file.

If anyone can figure it out, I'll be eternally grateful. This is the only game that I've tried so far that has these issues, and it's frustrating how nothing seems to make it work.

I'm going to be trying to undervolt my gpu using LACT. When I did it on windows using MSI afterburner I just loaded up a game and lowered the voltage little by little until it crashed. Then raised it back up and played some games to test it until it stopped crashing.

Can I just do that on LACT as well? Or should I really be using a GPU stress tester? If so, what would be a good one for Arch Linux?
