I’ve noticed that Linux players are currently banned or excluded from certain EA games due to anti-cheat or platform restrictions. Do you think EA will eventually lift this ban and allow Linux users to play normally, or is this something we shouldn’t expect anytime soon?

I am not sure how find and install the best MODS like ACAT and all available cars and tracks DLC. The game is running well. Is modding this game worth it?

Hello everybody.

Relatively new to Linux Gaming. I do run a proxmox box and a FreeBSD firewall and used to be a professional sysadmin. Gaming was a Windows thing for me until recently. (Also the only thing I was doing on Windows.)

Anyhow, I found CoolerControl, which looks awesome. However, how does one make it relinquish control of a fan? Reasoning see end of post.

CoreCtrl as well as FanControl (Windows) have easy settings for this. If I "disable" a fan in CoolerControl however, it appears to just remove the fan from the UI, but coolercontrold still controls it. I know this, as the default state of CoolerControl is to ramp up my AIO's coolers to 100%. So the first thing I wanted to find out is, how to give control back to the hardware. (Corsair iCUE H100i RGB ELITE).

I am interested in gaining knowledge, not in a discussion about my motivation. I'll only say this, my Power Colour GPU has great (!) fan control out of the box. I spend 2 weeks with FanControl and could not improve on it.

Thanks for the help.

 

Edit: Things I have done:

• Read the whole manual at https://docs.coolercontrol.org/
• Check issues at the Gitlab repo https://gitlab.com/coolercontrol/coolercontrol/-/issues/
• Googled for about an hour. Tough thing to google though, due to name of the app. My google foo might not have been strong enough.

 

Edit2: I am running

• Fedora 32 KDE (Kernel 6.15.9-201.fc42.x86_64)
• coolercontrol-2.2.2-1.fc42 (installed via COPR repo of the maintainer codifryed/CoolerControl)

I need some help from the community. I'm trying to get the ultra textures setting in Diablo 4, which I don't get because I think the OS is only reporting 31GiB of RAM. 32GB is a requirement.

So for anyone playing Diablo 4 on Linux: what RAM size is reported with fastfetch ? And do you get the ultra textures setting? Disabling the iGPU doesn't help.

I'm running Bazzite Gnome and cannot find anyone reporting the issue on the web. I get the setting on Windows so I do meet the hardware requirements.

Hey r/linux_gaming, Just dropped a Linux build of my retro clicker game TermiClick. It’s still in MVP (Minimum Viable Product) stage, but I wanted to share a quick visual of the port.

Check out the game’s socials for a sneak peek — full beta coming soon.

I'm doing a setup currently on a laptop, but if linux will run great I'd probably end up switching. I have an issue, though. I like Battlefield and EA FC, but heard various stories of it not being playable due because kernel can't run or something on Linux.

Can you help me give me a more clear answer here?

Hi all!
I have an Intel + Nvidia laptop running Ubuntu 25.04, Gnome, deb version of Steam - default stuff.

Can you help me with running light games on the iGPU and heavy games on the dGPU?
I'm ok manually selecting it game-by-game, but Steam and Proton kind of ignore my selections.

I can reliably choose the GPU when launching non-Steam apps (many methods work).
On Steam it gets a little complicated...

Steam itself launches on dGPU by default and subsequently launches all games on dGPU.
I managed to change this behavior by launching Steam on iGPU. This way, my native Linux games automatically select the correct GPU (light integrated, heavy dedicated)

But Windows (Proton) games run on the dGPU no matter what I do...
Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

Currently on Pop!_OS 22.04

Noticed this in Tekken at first, and now also in Street Fighter. Fighting games are locked to 60fps, i run a 144hz monitor and i notice that when my refresh rate is at 144hz on my monitor the games feels... sluggish kinda? It's very hard to explain but it's like when you're used to 60fps and you see a game in 30fps, there's a very noticeable difference, it's kinda like that.

If i however lower my refresh rate on the monitor to 60hz there's absolutely no issues at all. I don't only play fighting games, i do play some CS and similar sometimes so i don't want to switch between refresh rates like this all the time. Anyone know what the issue could be?

CPU AMD Ryzen 5 5600
GPU AMD RX 7700 XT
32GB of ram

Edit: I think the easiest way to describe this is that fighting games are treating my monitor as a 60hz monitor when ran at higher refresh rate, making the games feeling "sluggish" i guess.

Good morning, I installed Fedora in dual boot on an Acer nitro 5, but the latter slows down from time to time with a 200Mhz CPU. The problem (unfortunately known) is that the motherboard sends a false signal which causes the CPU to throttle, the computer does not overheat. I would need to disable the Prochot signal. I load the MSR kernel module, read in 0x1FC, then run wrmsr with a new value.

That's when he says "operation not permitted". I disabled SELinux temporarily, but I cannot disable secure-boot.

Do I have to sign the MSR module? Some people talk about allowing MSR writing in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX /etc/default/grub?

Or is there another solution?

Thank you and have a nice day

Everything was fine yesterday and today I wanted to play some Gunbot and was greeted by this error. It's the same error for each Unity game, just a logo changes from game to game. Help please!

I decided to create a Physics based chaotic co-op paddle game called Paddle Together.

Since I had this opportunity to "Aura Farm" I had to take it.

I just announced the Steam page and now the game looks even better (this was an old footage).

If you want to check it out:

Hope you guys liked it!

I use Windows for gaming PC, and basic everyday main stuff like emails, browsing internet, spreadsheets, viewing images. I'm currently installing new PC hardware and need a fresh Win install (change from Intel to AMD).

However, I'm toying with using Linux instead of Windows. I've used Linux for 30+ years, and use it on my developer PC, but PC gaming I've always used Windows (tried Wine years ago, sucked etc). I do love Linux a lot and would rather use it if games are truly sorted.

Windows has it's problems/niggles, but for the most part games just work. Is Linux the same now? Is Linux really that stable for gaming? I don't want to install Linux and set everything up to find lots of problems and then have to install Windows as this PC is 90% for gaming.

I read the only niggle games are with anti cheat, the only one I play that has that is CS2, now and then, but it sounds like that's fine? I imagine most offline AAA will be sorted as money is a driving factor?

Should I go with Linux? I know this is a subreddit that will want me to (lol) but any objective feedback?

I've spent countless hours reading reddits, other sites, and YT videos on the matter and there seems to be a LOT of problems reported. People fighting with getting games working.

I read the ProtonDB pages to see what games work and what don't but it's only a guide. Many people report problems when Proton say it should work.

I know kernel level anticheat is gonna be an issue, and i have no surprises on r6s not launching whatsoever. But after some googling, i found out that some could launch the game, just not playing multiplayer. And that confuses me. Do people already have the ability to launch the game but not playing multiplayer? Or is it something in the past, it could not be launched now?

I have also heard of “different versions” of proton, which apparently a certain proton could let you launch certain games? How can i efficiently find which proton should i use, or determine if its possible at all?

Now its just an untangled mess in my brain.

I also couldn’t launch trackmania, which is also from ubisoft, so it might be a similar issue as r6s? The specific error message from r6s is something like “createMapping2.dll is missing”. Again i tried googling and searching forums, and couldnt find relevant hits.

Any help is appreciated!

trying to install the viva new vegas mod setup on my linux box, and while normally im pretty handy with computers i feel a little lost as the unofficial linux guide steps seem to either omit information or are otherwise unclear. for example it suggests to add the fixed ESMs installer to mod organizer and run it through that which i did and that.. seems to have worked? but that mod requires YUP and it doesnt mention that anywhere. it says to double check that everything is working "once im done" and im not sure if that means just with the linux specific steps or with the whole thing.. launching the game does still work and seems stable but animations and lipsync are sped up a bunch and tweaks menu as well as the mods option at the top of the pause menu are missing, and im not sure if thats because ive messed something up or the guide means to check these things after im done the whole process.

sorry, i just feel lost and cant find anymore information to this process then whats there
