Black mesa crashing after about 20 minutes or so.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Apr 2026 - 2:18am

Since i started using proton 9 on black mesa, the game always crashes after 20 minutes or so, or after a certain amount of loads, and then i usually get an out memory error, that suggets to lower the texture quality. I lowered it to minimium, yet i still get the crash.

Specs:

gpu: rtx 4060

cpu: i5-12400F

ram: 32gb ddr4

os: mint 22.3

I was going to play Roblox with my brothers when i noticed the game kept crashing, then i took a look at the task manager and...... WTF, Roblox was using 100% of both GPU and CPU, and i have a i5 7th gen and a rtx3020, not that bad, what could it possibly be? i'm using the flatpak version, called "Sober", it worked fine untill a few days ago, and i'm really suspecting this might be a virus, please help

vulkan?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Apr 2026 - 1:21am

My system shows Vulkan as "disabled (software rendering)" in system info, but vulkaninfo detects my Intel UHD 600 correctly. Is this just a UI bug or is something misconfigured?

Brand new to Linux. Bazzite instructions?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Apr 2026 - 1:12am

Apologies if this is a common request. My current rig has an SSD, HDD, and nVidia graphics card. If someone could share a video explaining the process of installing Bazzite on both drives I'd be extremely grateful. TYIA!

FPS drops to 20 and CPU spikes to 80-90% on all Steam games Artix Linux, Ryzen 5 3600, GTX 1660

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Apr 2026 - 12:53am

Hey, I'm having a performance issue with all Steam games on Artix Linux (OpenRC, Cinnamon DE). The problem is that every Steam game drops to around 20 FPS with CPU usage hitting 80-90%. The GPU is actually being used (saw ~32% utilization in nvidia-smi) so it doesn't seem to be a Optimus/prime issue. ive already tried setting CPU governor to performance Blacklisted noveau (it wasn't even loaded anyway), closed backround apps, checked ram (plenty available) and secure boot is disabled. I'm new to this so i don't know what to do any help is appreciated

Project Synux — Open source Synapse alternative for Linux, built on OpenRazer

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Apr 2026 - 12:53am

Hey everyone,

I got tired of not having a decent RGB manager for my Razer keyboard on Linux, so I built one.

Synux is a free, open source GTK4 app that gives you Synapse-like control over your Razer devices — without needing Windows.

What it does:

  • Layer-based lighting (stack effects like Synapse)
  • Per-key RGB compositing via software rendering
  • Real-time animated keyboard preview
  • Built-in themes (Neon Nights, Lava, Ocean, Aurora, Starfield and more)
  • Export / Import .synux theme files to share with the community
  • Dark and light mode with 3 UI color themes
  • Auto-detects when devices are connected or disconnected
  • Remembers your last setup on launch

Built on: OpenRazer + Python + GTK4

Tested on: Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition (RZ03-0308) on Zorin OS 18

It's early development — rough edges exist, more device support is coming. Mouse support is next.

GitHub: https://github.com/BryantSteven/synux

Feedback, bug reports, and PRs are very welcome. If you test it on a different device, let me know how it goes — every report helps.

— Steven

Doom 2016 Crashing

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Apr 2026 - 12:23am

I’m playing Doom 2016, I have a 5080, 9800X3D, and 32GB of ram. I’m on the mission “Vega Central Processing” The game has always ran perfect, until this mission. For some reason, the game crashes a few secs or minutes into the mission, and it never tells me why or shows crash logs. I play it mainly on Fedora Linux, but it also crashed on Windows. How can I figure out why. has anyone experienced this?

GTA SA Fatal Performance

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 Apr 2026 - 10:58pm

Hi, yesterday I installed Fedora on my Surface Laptop 2 and installed the Surface kernel specific to these computers that is on GitHub. Apparently, everything is fine, the touch screen works and everything else. The problem I'm having is with this specific game, GTA SA and SA-MP. As you can see in the image, the iGPU isn't being used at 100%, and the FPS is very low compared to Windows, where I recall this It was running much better, maybe at 60 FPS or more. I'm using bottles. Does anyone have any idea how to fix it?

How to move a game from Faugus Launcher to play on steam?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 Apr 2026 - 9:33pm

Hi, I don't really know what I'm doing, but I've spent way too many hours today trying to get Battlefront II to work on my Linux Mint laptop. I bought it in a charity shop and got it on my ea account. I couldn't get the ea app to work through anything other than Faugus Launcher (tried Lutris and Steam), and eventually got the game running through that. The problem is that the game and the ea app run incredibly slowly, so I wanted to play the game through steam since it is now downloaded. When I put the path to the .exe file into steam, it will just briefly load but not open when I press play, doesn't even give me an error message. I'm not sure how to do this, if I just need to move the files out of the faugus folder and somewhere else, or if it's not possible to run it. I'd appreciate any help you can give me!

I have Linux Mint Cinnamon, and I'm not really sure what other specs might be relevant but I'm happy to provide anything!

Any ideas?

CS2 doesn't work for me on CachyOS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 Apr 2026 - 9:19pm

Well, CS 2 isn't working for me on CachyOS for some reason. The logs say there's an error in pipes.cpp (900), I don't know what that is. I used Proton 9.0, Experimental, and the native version of Runtime Sniper. Has anyone else encountered the same problem?

OS: CachyOS (latest) Kernel: 6.19.10-1-cachyos WM: Hyprland (Wayland) GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Driver: nvidia 595.58

Snapdragon-gsr should be integrated in newer Proton and gaming-wine releases

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 Apr 2026 - 8:59pm

The people who used lossless scaling in windows may know it already, it's a temporal upscaler, similar to FSR 1, it doesn't need to be game integrated and it works everywhere no matter your hardware and gpu even on older games, it's also open source : https://github.com/SnapdragonGameStudios/snapdragon-gsr

The great thing about it is the amazing performances, i couldn't try it in linux but on windows it's faster then FSR, and the sharpening is better IMO, it works super well on low Vram laptops, and you lose barely no framerate.

I really hope that some dev may have the ability to integrate it in the next proton ge or gaming wine version, it would be an amazing addition to our actual tools, and having an alternative to FSR1 is a good thing for all of us.

I can't play Wuthering Waves since 3.2 update

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 Apr 2026 - 8:44pm

The game does not let me play since the 3.2 update. When I launch the game through Steam it looks like it's starting normally and then after a bit in the updating screen it shows the error on the photo.

I am running Nobara Linux 43, Ihave these launch options in Steam : SteamOS=1 STEAMDECK=1 %command%

I have tried Proton-GE Latest, Proton-GE 10-32, Proton-CachyOS Latest and Proton Experimental (Proton-GE Latest, Proton-GE 10-32 and Proton-CachyOS Latest were installed with ProtonPlus)

The game is installed on my secondary SSD, and other games on this SSD work perfectly fine.

I have tried what people say on ProtonDB, but i still have this issue.

I hope someone is able to help me, because i really don't want to go back to Windows.
