Local Game works but Hosting on Multiplayer doesnt work on proton experimental.

Joining others works perfectly fine but hosting by myself doesnt.

Valve released the latest update to the Steam client, making it a good time to jump to Linux if you're still on Windows 10.

A few days ago I had Pop!_OS 24.04 beta installed and haven't had any issues so far until this occured. the first time I downloaded witcher 3, everything worked fine then a couple days later, I open up the game, spamming space button to skip intro cutscene, it didnt work, tried using mouse, didnt work either, tried to switch to PS4 controller, it still didnt work. I mainly use ProtonGE -latest build and I tried various proton version (like experimental, hotfix, (10.2 beta) or 9.0.4) so far nothing worked. I even looked it up to see if anyone had issues and it was mostly steam deck issues controls not working, every post I came across said changing the proton version or doing some tinkering worked for them, unfortunately none worked for me (I even tried uninstalling and re install the game, verify integrity files). The weird thing is all other games work fine with no issues and seems like only witcher 3 occurs this bug, did anyone encounter this problem?

I'm just gonna throw this here in case anyone needs

My specs:
CPU:12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12500H (2.50 GHz)

RAM:16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable)

GPU: rtx 3050 (4 gb vram)

storage: 512 gb ssd (nvme m.2)

OS: Pop!_OS 24.04 with nvidia (beta)

Before anyone comes and shouts at me, yes I am aware that it's a beta version so any bugs can happen, it seemed like only this one occured, the rest works fine.

any help would be appreciated!

So I have linux mint and I was unable to get the joycons to work. After kernel 5.10 hid-nintendo is already installed...I got joycond installed after struggling finally but it didn't work the lights on controller keep moving pairing mode even though bluetooth says connected and the info on Bluetoothctl cmd says trusted pairing and connected as yes but the lights on control are moving in pairing mode. I was unable to get any keys to map on anything. I was able to use fusapad with the PSP and map keys on ps2 and gba emulator. I want to use joycons bluetooth like I did on windows....any help on which distro? Cuz I did everything and tried everything for hours on linux mint even kernel panic and restore I did everything if u look at my previous posts. I am so passed I spent nearly a day in hours with no success. :( but I did learn a lot of new stuff with the twrminal and editti g stuff with nano and new cmds and recover from kernel panic etc so I did learn a lot even though I was unsuccessful with my main goal lol. Thanks in advance for the distro recommendations that work with joycon bluetooth!

Most games support Steam cloud save but i found that a few do not.

Is there a recommended way to backup my game configs? On windows i used to backup the entire folders for AppData and Documents since those are where usually game files go.

Using Lutris and Steam games work perfectly fine but each game has its own prefix and that makes backing up files for each game annoying

Hi, I switched to dual booting and found Cachy too good

I play a rhythm game called osu! Which has stable and lazer (linux) on my intel celeron n4120 laptop.

Cachyos runs at 100-150 fps with OpenGl and Vulkan at 90-110.

Win 11 with VK at 150-220, GL doesn't work (gives a black screen idk why) while DX is just bad 80-100.

Tried installing cachy gaming packages tweaks which increased fps and also made osu! Realtime priority in scx ( osu struggled to get 90 fps).

Ik this laptop is bad and I've already bought parts for a 400 bucks pc. So until the components arrives I'm stuck with this.

Please help me get this potato running atleast at win 11 performance.

If possible answer my questions.

Win uses 2.2Gb of ram while Cachy uses 1.1 how can win be better?

And does GL version matter? Intel says N4120 can support up to GL 4.4 but Cachy is using 4.6 is this why the fps is so low? Same for vulkan?

With Proton-GE (tested with v10-17) I can either have FSR via the WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR flag or have wayland-nativewindows with the PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND flag, but not both.

So, Hearthstone had an update yesterday and I am trying to update it. The download bar on Battle.net goes all the way to the end and then I get "Whoops! Looks like something broke. Give it another shot", then I press update again it starts at like 80% goes to the end and same thing happens.

Thing is I did absolutely nothing to this system recently and the game was working just fine and updating just fine for months since I installed the system. I was playing it this past weekend just fine.

System is Debian 13 stable. Running on Lutris flatpak with Proton-GE latest from ProtonPlus flatpak. System is up to date. Everything was working fine before needing this last update.

Did anyone else get this recently with Battle.net game updates? Any ideas what I could try?

Hello! i been at this for hours with this tutorial
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/fxwh54/using_nintendo_switch_controllers_on_linux/

didn't need this step because i tried it but already included 3.2 not 3.0 but just to make sure...

git clone https://github.com/nicman23/dkms-hid-nintendo cd dkms-hid-nintendo sudo dkms add . sudo dkms build nintendo -v 3.0 sudo dkms install nintendo -v 3.0

then i did this and the 2nd to last cmd(sudo make install) i got 2 errors

git clone https://github.com/DanielOgorchock/joycond cd joycond cmake . sudo make install sudo systemctl enable --now joycond

i got this

so i had to uninstall the launcher and after reinstalling it and re-signing in i keep getting this. help??

all the fps results are 1% lows, meaning 1% of frames are slower than that and 99% are faster.

in part 1 i did some system vs flatpak comparisons, but felt like i should briefly test a few more cases that involve more cpu load. with faugus launcher i can do an apples-to-apples comparison.

passmark 8 is used for synthetic cpu and memory load, warhammer 40k rogue trader (unity, dx11) and age of wonders 4 (dx12) for game loads.

flatpak faugus, passmark cpu: 30578 system faugus, passmark cpu: 30614 flatpak faugus, passmark mem: 3176 system faugus, passmark mem: 3127 flatpak faugus, wh40k borderless: 24,2 first, 24,7 second (60 seconds) system faugus, wh40k borderless: 24,6 first, 24,7 second (60 seconds) flatpak faugus, aow4 borderless: 41,9, 41,5 (90 seconds) system faugus, aow4 borderless: 26,4 first try, 41,5 retested (30 seconds)

i initially ran the mangohud recordings for 30 seconds, but noticed that it is a bit too short of a time. 90 seconds gives more stable readings, so i will use that in the following tests. i will also count to 10 before starting to record, as aow4 likely has lag some time after loading a save, as the retest shows.

it does not look like flatpak causes much of a performance penalty, if any.

i prefer bottles as the wine frontend, and it has a good selection of different runners, so i will compare some of them to each other next. i will also include x11 xfce vs wayland kde combinations as part 1 indicated that they may have some differences. two of the tested games also have an ingame option for borderless fullscreen vs exclusive fullscreen, and i will test those.

additional games added here are disco elysium (unity, dx11), which has bad frametime pacing, and trails through daybreak (dx11), which represents a non-unity game. strange looking results were retested, and retest result is in parenthesis.

results GE-Proton10-17 soda-9.0-1 caffe-9.7 sys-wine-10.0 kron4ek-wine-10.15-staging-tkg wh40k, x11, borderless 24,8 24,9 25,0 25,0 24,9 wh40k, x11, fullscreen 25,1 25,1 25,3 25,3 25,0 wh40k, kde, borderless 24,2 24,1 24,5 24,6 24,4 wh40k, kde, fullscreen 24,7 24,6 24,7 24,9 24,6 disco, x11 28,7 28,7 28,6 28,0 28,6 disco, kde 28,8 28,8 28,6 28,3 28,7 daybreak, x11 27,3 27,3 27,3 27,2 27,3 daybreak, kde 19,4 (19,4) 27,3 19,6 27,2 27,3 aow4, x11, borderless broke 26,4 (41,6) 41,7 42,0 broke aow4, x11, fullscreen broke 41,7 41,8 41,6 broke aow4, kde, borderless broke 40,8 40,7 40,7 broke aow4, kde, fullscreen broke 40,4 40,9 40,4 broke

-mouse cursor lags in x11 xfce if game lags, cursor always smooth in wayland kde

-non-proton game configs and saves are not under "steamuser"

-caffe under x11 xfce or soda in general appear to be the best picks

-ingame fullscreen may benefit wh40k slightly, in aow4 not

next i picked a well performing combination of caffe-9.7, x11 xfce and the fullscreen option in wh40k and briefly tested gamescope, gamemode, esync and system sync options in bottles (fsync is default).

wh40k, gamescope 25,3 wh40k, gamemode 25,2 wh40k, esync 25,3 wh40k, system sync 25,4 disco, gamescope 28,6 disco, gamemode 28,7 disco, esync 28,6 disco, system sync 28,0

-these do not improve anything

in part 3 i will test some non wine system tweaks (kernel, scheduler, mitigations at least).

details are the same as in part 1, with the following additions:

faugus-launcher 1.9.5-1 config: GE-Proton10-17, dxvk-2.7.1-146, vkd3d-1.17-208 explorer: -press cog button -press winetricks button -select default wineprefix -run explorer --- bottles 51.24 (flatpak) config: dxvk-2.7.1, vkd3d-proton-2.13 explorer: pick bottle -> legacy wine tools -> explorer --- disco elysium a0a062f0 (wine/unity/dx11) config: environment fx low, anti-aliasing off, dynamic shadows on, shader quality modest -reused my old save at the downstairs of the starter building, near the exit repro: -load save and record --- wh40k rogue trader 1.4.1.231 (wine/unity/dx11) config: low graphics preset, then FSR performance -start game -generally pick the first choice until the first dialogue ends -save game repro: -load save and record --- trails through daybreak 1.3.5 (wine/dx11) config: vsync off, frame limit 360, performance preset -start game -save when you get control repro: -load save and record --- age of wonders 4 1.011.003.111420 (wine/dx12) config: low graphics preset, vsync off, render scale 50 -quick start -save game repro: -load save and record submitted by /u/Niwrats

Hi all!

I use this launcher to play Bedrock Minecraft (on Steamdeck) with my cross platform friends, and ever since Copper Age released, I can’t play / the launcher isn’t even usable. I’ve seen this happen in the past with major updates, but the devs usually get everything working again relatively quickly (a day or two).

I’m not sure if anyone else uses this launcher who could help me, but I really want to continue to waste hours of my life in this game 🥺

A couple quick notes: 1. I did purchase Minecraft via the Google Playstore and I am logged into the correct google account on the launcher 1a. And I did try logging out / logging back in (a lot) 2. I’ve ran all of the updates I could on not only the launcher, but the FlatPaks as well 3. If it doesn’t go without saying, I’ll say it here: Java version isn’t an option for me bc I play in Realms with my friends.

Any help would be greatly appreciated so I can go back to a life of blocks :(

TIA 🩵💚💛
