Hi,

I've been using Linux for a while and recently switched to Hyprland with the End/4 dotfiles.

I'm encountering an issue where, when launching a game, my cursor moves out of the game window to either my secondary monitor or the edge of the screen. This prevents me from being able to look around in-game.

I'm running Arch Linux with an NVIDIA GPU and an AMD CPU. My current launch options are:
WLR_DRM_NO_ATOMIC=1 gamescope -f -w 2560 -h 1440 -- mangohud %command%

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

When the Steam sale started this week, I picked up Total War: Warhammer III, which I've been wanting to play for a while. It worked fine and I played about 4 hours total across 2 different sessions on the native build.

Then the other day, my Software app (Fedora 42) popped up a notification about urgent updates, so I accepted them. After restarting, I have been unable to play the game, as whenever I load into a 3d view (main menu is fine), the game freezes and a pop-up displays which says

Game crashed with signal 6
vkWaitForFences failed:-4
You may be able to relaunch the game to send the crash log automatically.
etc...

This is the case for both my saved games, and multiple attempts at starting a new campaign, so it doesn't appear to be related to a particular faction.

I checked the update history with dnf history list, but that for some reason doesn't show any changes that the Software app makes to the system, and there is no history within the app itself. I have disabled automatic updates from this app and will only be updating from the command line moving forwards.

I've tried downgrading the package mesa-vulkan-drivers but only one previous version is available, and I'm not even sure if that's the one that used to be installed, because again, Software app has no logs.

Any suggestions for how I could troubleshoot this problem?

I do have the latest dump file mentioned in the error message, but no idea how to open them. file says it's a "Mini DuMP crash report", but GDB doesn't recognize the format.

This was my first ever Skyrim modding attempt on Linux. I guess you can see this post as a feedback to Limo's devs and other players. Note I am by no means a pro (quite the opposite in fact), so I CAN be wrong in my observations.

My observations:

• Limo was supposed to "import Skyrim from Steam", but it wasn't showing on the list. Did it manually instead, but once I've added SKSE and one other mod, something got broken and the application (where you pick your game) went blank instead. I could still pick it regardless, but it didn't work. Then I realized that I perhaps should restart Steam as I've just bought the game. And ye - only then it showed up and I was able to import.
• I couldn't find a clarified info whether I should go with "hard link", "sym link" or "copy".
• SKSE says "Current Anniversary Edition build 2.2.6 (game version 1.6.1170)" - My game has that version, but it's Special Edition, so it can be quite confusing.
• Adding SKSE to Limo was supposed to give me two mods (Data & Bin) automatically. It did not. With a help of an AI bot, I figure out I need to separate the archive into two and add two instead.
• Setting up a NexusMods API key was confusing because I tried to find Limo app on the list and it wasn't there. I did not know I don't have to do that at all.
• Some mods had a file structure that Limo couldn't handle like: KS_Hairdos -> Data -> "actual files". I had to manually recreate the archive to go like this: KS_Hairdos -> "actual files". Only after this change the mod started to work.
• I had my doubts about installing mods requiring NetScriptFramework, .dlls, SKSE plugins and I avoided most mods requiring it, so...
• ... it's one of the reasons I gave up on trying to get a mod that shows body in FPP when looking down, displaying enemy levels, quick loot. All of them crashed my game or bricked SKSE.
• Game launches and works despite having conflicts.
• The backup thingy in Limo is totally incomprehensible.
• Modding on Linux is scary if you are very far into the process. I was launching the game every mod to see if something got broken many times, but I guess Windows ain't that different on the matter.
• Because of that I didn't bother with any graphical mods, so my Skyrim looks crap. ;)

I hope this is helpful to someone in some way.

I dual-boot my computer for testing the same games on Linux Mint vs Windows 10. I am getting significantly less framerates when playing WoW on Linux(70-110fps) vs Windows 10 (170-200fps). This large discrepancy is making my gaming experience on Linux unplayable right now. I would love any advice to get my Framerate back up to near the window's framerate. Here are the specs of my computer.

-Intel i7 - 7700K Processor

-Ausu Prime z270-A MoBo

-16GB DDR4 3200 RAM

-Nvidia 3080 Graphics Card

-Samsung 990Pro 1TB (linux boot in the M1 slot) or Samsung 960Evo 256GB (Windows boot in the M2 slot)

I installed the Battle.net launcher through Lutris. I was getting an error during install and found a post that said to use ProtonPlus to install Proton 10.6 and that fixed the issue. Any advice on how to get WoW to a playable state would be appreciated.

Hi, I was wondering, is there an actual games hub like Playnite for linux that actually has smooth console-like themes? Like, Playnite has a theme that resemble the PS5 look which is amazingly pretty imo, and since Playnite isn't supported on Linux as far as I know, maybe someone knows an alternative?

I've been playing through the GOG version of the original version (NOT the new Definitive Edition) of the base game of Dawn of War 1 using Lutris + Proton Experimental. So far, I've noticed an issue where the game stutters a lot when there's a large amount of objects/models in play. This issue seems to also be present on Proton versions 9.0, 8.0, and 7.0 as well as GE-Proton10-17. Proton 5.0 doesn't seem to have this issue EXCEPT every ~10 seconds, the game freezes (other than audio) for ~1-2 seconds. I also can't seem to use Proton 5.0 with Lutris because it crashes when it tried to create a new prefix with it, so I have no choice but to use Steam with Proton 5.0. I've also tried using Proton 3.16 with Steam using this guide, but it didn't work for me (the game window didn't even open). Anyone else encountering similar issues?

I am running WoW / Bnet via Steam on Fedora 42 Gnome. I tried both Proton Experimental and Proton Hotfix, but this problem just started after doing a big system update.

When I launch WoW it opens off-center of the screen. I can see things highlight when hovering over them, but I can't actually click on anything.

I once managed to get it in windowed mode and was able to click inside the game, but where the mouse cursor was different than where it ended up clicking.

Has anyone else seen this problem? Thanks!

Hi, I would just like to backup all of my Steam games and their config / settings.

Should I just backup ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/ or is there more to it?

I remember backing up ~/.steam/, later copying it to Bazzite and it breaking a bunch of things.

Most of the guides I've seen are either pretty old or talking about backing up from Windows and restoring on Linux, but I would just like to keep it in the Linux ecosystem.

Like... is this guide still valid despite it being from 2014?

So what's the proper way to do this?

I launched FNAF 4 through Lutris, and the game only appears in a small area of ​​the screen, while the rest is completely black. I also tried running it through regular Wine, but in that case, the game stretches to fill the entire screen, but various artifacts appear on the screen.

Unfortunately, I can't use Gamescope because it's not available in my distribution's repositories (I'm using Debian 13).
