I've followed ever step correctly and I keep getting the same error at the end of the install. I'm new to linux so there may be something I'm missing. I'm using Linux Mint Mate 22.2.

Good evening gamers

I saw that GTA IV had Gold compatibility on ProtonDB, so I tried to install it. I also installed the FusionFix community patch, but the game wouldn't launch. I got through the Rockstar Launcher installation, but every time I try to launch it, I get the "Grand Theft Auto IV exited unexpectedly" error.

Naturally, I assumed it was a problem with the mod, so I removed it. I also verified game files and then reinstalled the entire game, but it still won't launch. The only launch option I have is the one that enables Proton to write logs to a file: PROTON_LOG=1 %command%

I tried to change the Proton runtime to the latest version, the latest beta version, proton experimental and GE Proton, with no change in behavior.

Here are the logs: (I uploaded them to a minecraft log website because pastebin said it was too large lol): https://mclo.gs/5i6Vw1S - I couldn't spot anything obvious in those logs, so I'm still aimless.

My specs, if its helpful:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x

GPU: Phantom Gaming (ASRock) AMD RX 5600 XT (using mesa-git drivers)

RAM: Kingston 32GB DDR4

OS: Arch Linux (fully updated, 6.17.3-zen2-1-zen kernel. (Zen))

Steam was installed from the multilib repo with paru, not a flatpak.

Any help would be appreciated. I just want to see my Russian boys again :(

EDIT: I seem to be having problems with other Linux-native games too like Garry's Mod. I must've fucked something up so I'm going to do a quick reinstall and see if it fixes it. Please continue to offer solutions in case this doesn't fix it <3. Will come back to update.

I recently got the urge to play the day-one build of Half-Life 2 on Linux, but I'm running into various errors when trying to run it. There's a lot to go through here, but I'll try and keep it as concise as possible.

As of now, I've tried running two different versions of the build 2153: the base version (only includes Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source), and the Collector’s Edition, both of which gave differing results.

Firstly, the base version currently seems to hold the most promise as I have managed to consistently boot it using Proton Experimental on Steam. However, the moment the startup video finishes, I get a black screen. Also, it only boots up in the first place if I use the launch command -steam. If I don’t use said launch command, the game doesn't boot at all; it instead gives me the error Unable to load filesystem_stdio.dll. I’m currently yet to try different Proton versions or Wine, so I’m open to suggestions on which may work best or launch options that may help.

Secondly, the Collector’s Edition, despite being the same exact build, has given totally different results. For example, when running it under the exact same conditions used by the base version, I get the error No CD-ROM drive found., an error which I haven’t found a single mention of on the internet. Just so you’re all aware, to install Collector’s Edition in the first place (unlike the base version where there was already a preinstalled archive containing the game files), I had to run setup.exe on the first disk using Proton Experimental, then go into the Proton prefix and extract the .gcf files in the steamapps folder using GCFScape.

Finally, I want to mention this thread I found which may be of some help. I’ve attempted to use RevEmu, although it doesn’t seem to have made a difference so far. I also tried some of the launch commands provided, but I’m yet to definitively try most things mentioned.

Any help is greatly appreciated, and thank you to anyone who may reply in advance.

I've decided to try using Nobara Linux. For the most part it's been smooth with the drivers out of the box and my GameSir Cyclone 2 controller largely runs without a problem. The issue is it doesn't seem like vibration works at all. At first I was using the wireless dongle, then I switched to Bluetooth to see if that'd do anything. Nothing. I both tried playing games that used vibration and tried testing it through the Steam controller tool. I saw another advice to check to make sure it wasn't a Steam-only issue through using fftest, but using fftest in the terminal gives me a bunch of "Error:: Function not implemented" next to the various effects. I've also tried restarting multiple times and making sure there was no other bluetooth interference. Is there any way to get the rumble to work?

Operating System: Nobara Linux 42

KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.4

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0

Qt Version: 6.9.2

Kernel Version: 6.17.3-201.nobara.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 12 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-11400 @ 2.60GHz

Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (31.2 GiB usable)

Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

Hello, I am using Nobara's latest version distro and trying to play and log into Wuthering Waves and getting "Gateway timeout issue" while my other game seems to work fine. I have tried to switch various Proton GE files (atleast 4) to log into game and it seems I can't. Is There any solution for this fix?

This summer I built myself a desktop and decided now was as good a time as ever to transition to Linux (been wanting to do it for awhile) and since I am busy and not super technically literate, I settled on Linux Mint. There really hasn’t been too many issues except one: the singular game I play the most (Marvel Rivals).

I will consistently have problems either launching the game, it crashing during certain cutscenes, or just being slower than I know it can. I’m running an RTX 3070 and I feel like every time I try to optimize, something breaks.

Does anyone know the best Kernel, Driver, and Proton combo for this, can go more into specific specs if needed.

1 - Install lsfg-vk from Flathub (latest version):

flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.lsfgvk

2 - Install the GUI (lsfg-vk-ui) via GitHub artifacts: Download the .flatpak file and install it (you can use GNOME Software, Warehouse, Discover, or the terminal):

https://github.com/PancakeTAS/lsfg-vk/actions/runs/17321849341

3 - Install Lossless Scaling in the Steam Flatpak.

4 - Grant the GUI permission to access the Lossless.dll file installed via Steam Flatpak (you’ll also need to grant the same permission for other Flatpaks like Bottles, Heroic, etc.). Using Flatseal, search for “lsfg-vk-ui” and in Filesystem, add (replace with your username):

/home/yourusername/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Lossless Scaling/Lossless.dll

6 - Grant permission to the config directory used by the previously installed GUI. In Flatseal, search for Steam and add this Filesystem path:

/home/yourusername/.var/app/gay.pancake.lsfg-vk-ui/config/lsfg-vk

7 - Add an environment variable so lsfg-vk uses the config directory exposed in step 4. In Flatseal, select Steam and add the following variable:

LSFG_CONFIG=/home/yourusername/.var/app/gay.pancake.lsfg-vk-ui/config/lsfg-vk/conf.toml

8 - Open the lsfg-vk GUI config (from your system app menu) and create a profile with a simple name of your choice.

9 - In your game’s launch options, add this command:

LSFG_PROCESS=profilename %command%

Note: Currently, it doesn’t work with the Wine Wayland flag (PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 or DISPLAY=, which is used in Bottles).

I know this might be better for headphones subreddits. But these kinds of posts are mostly banned there.

My current headphones have disintegrating pads. And it doesn't look like I can find replacements for them even when searching by measurements. I'm trying to look for some along with a new controller. my budget for the headphones is about $40, I'd prefer 30 but I dont want to pay 60 if I dont have too.

Any suggestions? What are you guys using?

Hello, I've read that there are issues if you have multiple monitors with different refresh rates and are on wayland with an Nvidia GPU, is this still true? I'm thinking about switching but I'm not sure if it'll work or not. I have 3 monitors, 2 of them are 75hz and one is 165hz

I was curious as to how the game ran on Linux considering I haven't really seen many reports and scrubbing the ProtonDB page only shows it at a silver rating, so I gave it a go, especially since the Server Slam is free right now.

It runs surprisingly well! By default, it was on the Epic preset with FSR Balanced at 3440x1440 and I was getting around 65-75 FPS outdoors, around 90 fps indoors. Matching my settings in The Finals (medium preset with high shadows, epic textures, low RTGI, manual TSR at around 76% [don't hate me, it gives me more stable fps and is more visually stable at higher percentages than FSR]), I get 95 fps outdoors and around 130 fps indoors. This is on GE-Proton10-20 as I've noticed it gives me better lows than regular Proton on The Finals but YMMV.

I was fully expecting the game to not start at all but the only issue I've had so far is a single crash after opening my settings mid-match and I'm fairly certain that's not because of Proton itself and just the game being unstable since it doesn't fully release until the 30th.

Although not new to Linux, I am new to this kind of issue. A fix/occurrence hasn't made its way to proton DB, & my few days of research haven't borne any fruit. Does anyone know the cause of this issue and how to fix it?

Hi all,

I made a post about 20 days ago asking about desktop environments that plan to support X11, I found a great list, but the main reason for that post was that Steam Link from any device to my Wayland DE resulted in a black screen unless running an X or Xwayland app, this means my entire desktop environment is blank, which sometimes means I cannot even start a game.

I found this post with a similar issue, but it's old and may be outdated https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/txhmxh/solved_if_you_guys_are_having_problem_with_the/

My post was here https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1ntc2q3/x11_desktop_environments_gaming/

I'm looking for help from anyone who has steam link displaying their wayland desktop environment without issue.

I am running arch on both systems, both on KDE Wayland. I have tried the flatpak and aur for steamlink, I've tried steam link from my android phone and my tablet, same issue, but when I swap to X11 (either KDE, Gnome, or XFCE) it's fine.

I started playing WoW Classic on my new laptop last week and it was working great via Proton Experimental. Then the next day WoW suddenly could not detect my GPU. Switched to Proton 10 Beta and it works again, however it randomly freezes, no error, just "Force Quit" or "Wait" dialog.

I am running Ubuntu 24.04 with an NVIDIA RTX 4070 MaxQ using the open 380 drivers from the Ubuntu repos. Any insight would be appreciated, especially on why Experimental suddenly stopped working.

For the record, Proton 9 does not work with the Blizzard Launcher. The GPU issue is not a driver issue, it's just some versions of Proton seem to not be able to pass the GPU to the game?

I'm facing a weird issue while playing native Linux games with a controller, if i start the game with the controller plugged in or if i plug it in while the game is launching it works fine but if at any point during the game the controller disconnects things stop being fine, both of my analog sticks will just stop working along with the triggers not working anymore too, the issue fixes itself if i restart the game but it is really annoying having to restart the game because my controller suddenly disconnected.

Initially i thought it was a issue with Hollow Knight and Hollow Knight: Silksong but after playing other games the issue persisted on those games.

I already tried different controllers but the issue happens on all of them.

Does anyone know why this is happens or if there is a solution to this other than forcing games to run using Proton?

Here is some info about my system(And i'm using the native version of Steam): Operating System: Fedora Linux 42 KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0 Qt Version: 6.9.2 Kernel Version: 6.16.12-200.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-7500 CPU @ 3.40GHz Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.5 GiB usable) Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6400 Manufacturer: Dell Inc.

I am using EndeavourOS and have had no problems using the cachyOS repos and kernel. I have a 9800x3d so their zen4/5 optimized builds are great for me.

Their wiki page HERE does a great job of walking you through the process of adding the repos.

For kernels, once you've added the CachyOS repos, you can install the cachyos-kernel-manager package to easily install one of their prebuilt kernels. You can also use other kernel managers, for example EndeavourOS has akm and works just fine.

NOTE: if you aren't on CachyOS, I wouldn't recommend trying to build a custom kernel, as it is unsupported. If you're using their kernel manager, just ignore the "configure" button and stick to the prebuilt kernels and you should be fine. You can find their warning about this on this wiki page.

Hope this helps someone

Going to be using fedora as my primary gaming os. For those couple remaining games that are Linux hostile (bf6 is one of them), how many gb should I reserve for windows 11? I have a 2tb drive, so I was thinking somewhere between 500-750gb? Thanks!

I've been using Linux for years, but haven't really been keeping up with things. The last I knew the open source (ie, nouveau) drivers were absolutely terrible and you had to use the closed-source ones to get any sort of decent performance.

Apparently now NVIDIA drivers are open sourced and the close sourced Linux drivers will probably be deprecated at some point. I seem to be having some better performance with the new open drivers.

Is there anything else I'm missing? How do them compare to the AMD drivers?
