I'm on a fairly old pc. Genshin worked fine over the past few months. However recently (a week or so) after recent updates Genshin crashes every time after the initial loading screen(the one with the elemental signs).
My Specs:
i5 8400
16 GB RAM
UHD 630
Arch Linux 6.10.10-zen1-1-zen
Heroic Games Launcher v2.15.1 (v.2.14 on my laptop) with wine GE Proton 8-26

So far I've tried moving the game from HDD to SSD, reinstalled the game, disabled mangohud, esync fsync yet it still crashes after the loading screen, even read on a forum that turning on resizable bar in the BIOS might help but it didn't. I just gave up after not being able to figure out the exact cause of error from the game logs.
Also something that I've noticed from the past few weeks is that my audio output switches from hdmi to (alc1220)line out(no peripherals connected) whenever I run a game or play a video(sometimes).
Thank you, I'd appreciate any help and advise. :)

I tried running the updated Alcino Major portable version of Sega Rally 2 on my Steam Deck. It runs fine on my Windows laptop, but when I try to run it on my Steam Deck, it says 'cannot find getadmin.vbs' and then a window pops up asking me if I want to delete the application and all of its files and settings and no matter what I choose, the launcher crashes and the game won't run.

Is there some way to get the Deck to ignore the admin request?

As the title says this is a big problem making it impossible to play some games.

I'm using Manjaro Linux Xfce. For running the game I'm using GE-Proton9-11.

My PC: CPU: i5-9400, GPU: GTX 1650 Super, RAM: 16GB.

The RAM usage in some games (for example, GTA V, Path of Exile) is extremely high, hovering around 10GB to 11GBs this actually makes me feel very uncomfortable, in Path of Exile it increases overtime but in case of (GTA V) it starts up with RAM close to 10GB and in (GTA V) VRAM also hits max (4GB of this card) and that's probably why it also stutters. I've also tried with Nioh 2 and in case of Nioh 2 RAM usage is fine, but VRAM is hitting max.

Also, I've played all 3 of these games on Windows in past and there wasn't such an issue as there shouldn't be with these games as this GPU is capable of running these games.

I recently got En Garde on GOG due to Amazon Prime and cannot figure out how to get it to recognize the controller after installing it through Heroic Games Launcher (I've tried adding it to Steam, for example, and running it, including through Big Picture Mode). I haven't tried Lutris yet, but I felt like it was a good idea to ask what has worked for people in general for getting controllers recognized.

It might be a specific problem with En Garde, but what are your general tips for getting games outside of Steam to recognize controllers? It feels like Steam has pretty much solved this for games on Steam, compared to the early days of Proton, which has been great. There's always the various ways to get keyboard controls mapped to the gamepad, but I feel like there should be a way to get native controller support working in a recent game like En Garde.

There's a lot of blog posts and news articles being written right now centred around Microsoft's plans for updates to Windows 11, and potential kernel changes, with some thinking this means big things for Linux gaming.

.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

I want to try games on Linux but I only have a Ryzen 3400g with 16 gb ram which I am not sure if it will enough for gaming on Linux since this one runs games through dependencies or other programs. As reference, on windows I can play doom eternal in medium-low specs without lag, except when changing guns.

Hi,
I want to buy a new gaming mouse, those are the two best options at a local store in which I can get the mouse for free ( I got a coupon) .
any of you here have any experience with one of those on Linux or in general?
specifically I am interested to know if I can easily configure the key mappings for those mice.
thanks in advance

it's my second day on linux and i'm using nobara. my pc is from 2013 and is kinda weak, with an intel celeron b820 and sandy bridge hd graphics. the emulators that used to run like a powerpoint file on windows now run amazing on linux! even with out of the box settings they're running 35-60 fps! this feels like heaven and i don't want to leave. thanks to this, me and my friends will be playing mario kart double dash for the whole evening! i'm in love with linux and i'm glad that i left windows.

Hi everyone,

I've been thinking about installing Linux on my PC to replace Windows. I'm familiar with the environment and have been using it for years for work and research, but this time I also want to use it for gaming. My question is serious: what is the REAL average experience when it comes to gaming on Linux?

I know about compatibility layers based on Wine like Proton and launchers like Lutris and Bottles. However, when I look for information, I always come across two big categories of people: those who use Linux for gaming and say they have no problems but often don't specify which games they play, what configurations they have, or how much time they spent setting everything up (keyboard, controller, etc.). And those who criticize, say that gaming on Linux still suffers from too much instability and all sorts of hassles, with games (even the most compatible ones) often showing bugs that are hard to fix, and so on.

So I'm asking you all: HOW IS YOUR REAL EXPERIENCE GAMING ON LINUX? Which distro do you use? Was it difficult to configure everything? What games do you play?

PS: someone may be interested in the hardware i currently run:

CPU: intel 13600K

GPU: rx 6800

Hi,

Seems my gpu is dieing and been checking just to get something quick and seen some posts of an rtx 3060 and a AMD rx 6650 xt, I'm using cachyOS ftm and benchmarks I seen between both cars the amd seems to be ahead but this benchmarks are done in windows so would it be even better performance in Linux?

Hello everyone, I have recently installed Archlinux and trying Overwartch 2 and World of warcraft I have noticed something strange, they are blurry.

Is like there is some kind of filter, like when FSR is used, but FSR is disabled, another thing I checked is that the scale is set to 100%:

https://preview.redd.it/rxn15inbazod1.png?width=661&format=png&auto=webp&s=eb477bb2691b1b6408152b2623f8cdac416f31f7

Both games work without any issue, I ran OW2 using steam (experimental proton) and WoW using wine and WoW using wine, I have tried using both options on X11 compatibility, tried modifying the scale but it seems to be doing nothing

Using Archlinux with KDE.

If any one has any idea it will be appreciated, thanks

i'm not a hardcore gamer, don't have a big library and only play a few older games or indie games. i don't use steam, gog galaxy or epic, so there're three best options to run games without a native linux support: pure winehq, lutris or bottles. what are the advantages and disadvantages of each other? lutris seems to be a launcher/frontend like steam, gog galaxy and epic afaik. so what's the cleanest way to play windows games on linux?

Hey,

I Switched to Linux some time ago and Recently wanted to set up something to Record Clips. I Used to use OBS Replay Buffer for that while I was on Windows so I set it up again on Linux but I noticed after a while that the Hotkey I set up for Saving a Replay wasn't working Unless the OBS Window was Focused. When I Launch OBS with sudo, the Hotkeys work when not Focused but OBS doesn't recognize any Audio Sources.

Is there some setting that I'm missing? I've already made sure Settings > Advanced > Hotkeys > Hotkey Focus Behavior is set to Never disable Hotkeys.

I'm on Arch and using the extra/obs-studio Package.

Thanks in Advance <3

Hello fellow Gamers, I have a really annoying Problem currently that is present in every game ( or at least higher graphics 3d games)

for some reason the outlines in objects and shadows Seen to be constantly moving as if they are constantly slowly redrawn.

it's mostly plants and shadows and in Skyrim metalluc objects where the most notable. I completely reinstalled ( I am now on EndevourOs was on Opensuse Tumbleweed before, because I thought I had messed up something with my drivers) and it is still the same.

I have an RX 6600 AMD .

I started Sims earlier and got a good video of a shadow where the problem can be seen. this is really annoying me. I really only can play pixel games because everything else gives me a headache. does anyone have an idea? https://imgur.com/a/7aqs2en

Hello everyone!

I downloaded satisfactory from various repacks(yes I pirated it). Whenever I try to launch the game with steam(online fix), after a few seconds the whole pc crashes. I mean no display output, the fans are not spinning, and the pc doesn't respont to the power or reset button, I need to manually turn off the power on the power supply. After turning on the computer the debug leds show dram and there is beeping. After a few seconds it boots normally.
