Probably a weird and obscure one... "dual boxing" in MMO, controller input "bleeds" when I switch between windows

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 Apr 2026 - 12:01am

I can't imagine many people have come across this, but I figured there is no harm in asking anyway. I am a bit of a Linux noob. Switched from Windows 11 to Bazzite initially, but now run Fedora 43 KDE Plasma instead.

My lifelong addiction and favourite game of all-time is Final Fantasy XI. And for those familiar with the game, I am one of those "The level 75 era was the golden years" types, so rather than playing on retail, I play on the Eden XI private server, who, allows dual boxing. Which is something I do pretty often.

I didn't have any issues on Windows, but now, running the game on Linux using Lutris with Wine-GE-8-26, I seem to have run into a very interesting and probably niche issue. I use an Xbox One Wireless controller, connected via Bluetooth.

Let's say I have both instances of FFXI running and I am on instance A, playing character A. If I move the camera or character, then alt+tab to instance B (character B), that character or camera also starts moving, even though I am not holding the joystick down anymore.

I have done some testing to see if the controller is sending input to both windows at the same time, and it does not. It also doesn't affect any other buttons on the controller, only character and camera movement using the two joysticks.

I've asked many AI LLMs and tried all of the "fixes" they recommended, such as trying to use Gamescope, remapping the controller to keyboard inputs (which hilariously results in the joystick typing "WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW" into the chat bar after alt+tabbing), downloading XpadNeo and a bunch of other things I forget.

Has anyone run into this issue before and managed to fix it? I'd love to know how you did it. Thanks!

EDIT: Forgot to add, one suggestion from our AI overlords was to use a wired controller. I haven't tried it yet, because I don't have one, and don't particularly want to go spend money on something just because an LLM told me so.

I don't think Linux is for me

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 Apr 2026 - 10:41pm

I want to preface this by saying that I was really looking forward to moving away from Windows and learning Linux and hopefully running it as my daily driver. However, I unfortunately can't really see myself doing that. For the past week or so, I have been tinkering and having to fight against my PC for various things. For context, I am using KDE Plasma on the non LTS kernel of cachyOS. I update daily with cachy update. I have a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RTX 3080, and 32gb 6000mhz ram.

One of the issues is for whatever reason, when I turn on variable refresh rate to "automatic" on my main monitor (MSI 321URX), whenever I would take a screenshot with Spectacle it would make my entire screen go black for about 3 seconds. The same thing would happen whenever I would be watching a youtube video in Fullscreen and upon exiting the Fullscreen video my monitor would go black for 3s. This didn't seem to happen with VRR turned off.

Another issue was when using Brave browser, if I tried rebooting the PC without fully closing Brave beforehand, upon starting Brave up I would always get a warning about Brave crashing unexpectedly. On top of that, it would also just straight up crash randomly for no apparent reason. I also would not be able to autofill my passwords from Bitwarden for whatever reason.

A really weird issue I had was with some obscure font that I was using on one of my Discord servers for the channel names. It took like two days to figure this out as I was testing this with other cachyOS users and some of them were seeing this font correctly, while others were not, it had turned out I was missing some "gnu-free-fonts' package that wasn't installed by default on cachyOS for me.

Before cachyOS, I tried out Linux Mint on my living room pc(i7 6700k, 32gb 3200mhz, gtx 960) and Zorin on my main desktop, and those both had their own set of issues, but as to not make this post longer than it has to, I'll just tldr for these two and basically say that for Linux Mint, my BT keyboard didn't work no matter what, but worked flawlessly on cachyOS. As for Linux Mint, I tried running resident evil 4 (2005) and couldn't get it to run until I forced proton to use openGL, which I found strange as the game has a platinum rating on protondb and my drivers were all up to date. For Zorin, it wouldn't switch the login screen to my main monitor even tho I had my monitor set as main, resulting in me having to login on my vertical monitor with the image still in horizontal mode. No matter what I tried this would still happen.

All in all, I had to spent about 20 hours over this past week just constantly tinkering with my OS just to make things work the way I wanted. I really wanted Linux to work for me, but it is really exhausting to have to do all this. Yes I know Windows has it's own bugs and issues, but for the most part, I never had to deal with so many bugs and issues like this in a row just to use my PC. And I can't imagine how much more I'd have to keep fixing going forward. I'm at my wits end... I think the best I can do is just continue running Linux Mint on my living room PC as I have been, and then run Windows on my main desktop.

Asking before I post here.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 Apr 2026 - 9:29pm

Hello me fellow linux nerds this is mostly for the admins because I could not find anything in the rules saying no, but Id also not like to break them.

I am a first time indie developer making a very old-fashioned terminal based Ascii RPG
the game is meant to be open source and will always remain that way.

It is meant to only run on linux thus why im here and not in an indie dev reddit.
my question is am I allowed to share that game here to get any play testers and or people who have advice for input on making the game smoother.
with that said if this is not allowed I apologize and I only ask that maybe you guys could push me towards the right reddit groups because this game is designed for the niche of linux users and ASCii game enjoyers.

best, your fellow nerd

Installing working graphics driver on openSUSE Tumbleweed (RTX 2060 Super)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 Apr 2026 - 9:22pm

Hello, I recently switched from Kubuntu to openSUSE Tumbleweed (KDE), because Kubuntu crashed too often and I really like KDE Plasma. However, I seem to have problems with my graphics driver, as I had it before on Kubuntu, where I only had to change it in the settings and everything went smoothly. On openSUSE though, I somehow cant find an option for that in the settings and everything I found on the internet did not help me aswell.

problems with sober

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 Apr 2026 - 8:34pm

in some specific games sober just doesn't work, I don't know what kind of bug happens, it just crashes my entire pc, even though it apparently doesn't even use many resources, I use AMD and have never had any problems with vulkan, it must be about 10 to 15% of games that behave this way for some reason, does anyone know any solution or alternative?

Should I switch to Linux for better fps

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 Apr 2026 - 7:38pm

I have a i3 10th gen with uhd graphics. It CANNOT game. The least it can run is minecraft at 60 fps. By using mods like sodium i run it at 120 fps. But now I am bored of normal minecraft. So I tried modpacks but they run at 30-40 fps with a lot of fps drops. Should I switch to Linux for better fps? I am very new to this I don't know what and where to download. Please help.

steam among us online is weirdly broken for Fedora Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 Apr 2026 - 7:26pm

i used the flatpak steam version before and thought the reason it wasn't working was bc of flatpak so i switched to the rpm version of steam and im still going through the same problem. yes i switched through experimental and hotfix and nothing changed. whenever i go click on find a lobby i just get stuck in a endless loading loop and theres no way for me to check if anything is happening. i even had left it loading for a good hour and nothing happened.

idk what flairs to add so dont worry about it if its the wrong flair.

im not too sure if i messed something up bc i been having some internet problem internally with the operating system where sometimes it would randomly disconnect me and reprompt the password for it. im using Fedora KDE Plasma version.

if needed more detail on the operating system lmk.

Is there a remotely easy way to merge proton/wine prefixes?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 Apr 2026 - 7:14pm

I have a game (Elite) + two utility programs (Voice Attack & another app) that needs to be in the same process context: Voice attack needs to be able to inject Windows key and game controller event messages to Elite's process. I believe that can only be done if they're both being managed by the same wineserver process.

Just running them is the easy part like WINEPREFIX="/path/2/elites/pfx" protonOrwineExec /path/2/VoiceAttack but I also need to carry over unique user.reg registry entries.

One idea I had with Voice Attack is to install it, delete the prefix Steam made for it, sym link VA's prefix path to Elites, and then force it to reinstall VA and hopefully not murder the things that Elite needs to run.

Otherwise I am not looking for an alternative to VA. I made my own version of VA a few years ago using a ASR/STT model but I am getting tired of maintaining it and I prefer the voice packs HCS makes for VA better.

I really want to join Linux but worried about compatibility.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 Apr 2026 - 7:12pm

I have been on the fence about going Linux for over a year, but now I want to switch. I understand Proton helps compatibility with a lot of Steam games, but for me its non steam games that I worry about.

So which distro would be good for a tech literate beginner. I don't mind doing research and stuff and have a high end, but very old, pc.

Also how compatible are games like League of Legends and Escape from Tarkov?

Does MSFS2020 work at all on Mint?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 Apr 2026 - 6:53pm

so far I can’t even get past the EULA, I cannot click on accept.

I never had this trouble on Windows 10 on the same rig.

Do I need to share specs?
