Help with F.E.A.R GOG

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Apr 2025 - 6:53am

Can anyone make it work? I've tried with latest GE-Proton 9-27 on lutris but it is crashing at launch. I've tried with older protons like ge8-5 and it worked but it don't execute the echopatch and it's almost impossible to play without it. Maybe I need a dll override or a variable?

Should I switch?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Apr 2025 - 3:37am

I am currently building a new computer and am considering switching to Linux as my main operating system. I will primarily be using this computer for heavy gaming, but with some various light productivity-related stuff (most likely programming). I have become increasingly attracted to Linux's customization features and its lack of bloatware that has become prevalent on my current PC. My limited experience using Linux through the Steam Deck has also grabbed my attention.

I primarily play single-player games, so I prefer a higher resolution and textures over framerate and speed. I understand that most multiplayer games don't work on Linux (which I'm okay with). I'll probably just use my old SSD running Windows as an alternate boot if I ever need to play with friends.

I was originally drawn to linux mint since I don't have any experience with linux, but I learnt that most linux distros (including mint) don't support HDR. I recently got a 4k oled monitor and want to use it to its fullest potential, so mint is out of the question. After doing more research, I decided to stick with Arch Linux, despite its notoriety, as I appreciate its documentation and am usually pretty good with command line stuff (also hyprland looks cool).

I want to take advantage of my hardware as much as possible while also having the advantages of using Linux. I know that linux gaming has come a long way, especially with proton, and performance seems excellent on most games, but from what I can tell, some of the more advanced features (HDR, VR, raytracing to an extent) seems to still be better on windows. In my position, is it worth it to make the switch?

tl;dr: is the absolute best gaming experience still stuck on windows, or is linux just as good?

Testing latest ntsync vs esync (Cyberpunk 2077)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Apr 2025 - 2:12am

Comparing Cyberpunk 2077 with esync (Wine 10.5) vs latest MR of ntsync (Wine git master) in one scene near Advocet Hotel and results of benchmarks runs.

Using recent vkd3d-proton master / Mesa main. Kernel 6.14.1.

Conclusion:

In that random scene ntsync loads GPU more fully resulting in higher framerate. Benchmark is better for ntsync probably due to better GPU utilization.

There are still some anomalies with this ntsync MR, like random crashes, and randomly disappearing sound (which don't happen with esync).

Rocket league on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Apr 2025 - 1:46am

So I’ve been watching YouTube, and then I said, does Linux have rocket league? So I just went and searched how to install it, but those are videos of 5 years ago, so I don’t think they do work as I tried 2 an none of them worked. So now I’m here, is there anyway if playing rocket league on Linux Ubuntu’s system?

Looking for the right distro for an nvidia/intel laptop with a 4070 max-q

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 Apr 2025 - 12:14am

Hello,

First of all my English is not the best sorry (I speak French mainly)

I bought a Lenovo legion 7i with a intel/nvidia 4070 max-q and I tried a lot of distro in the last weeks. The problem is frame rate are really inconsistent. In fedora the nvidia x server in powermizer is alway messed up I cannot have fixed performance level (I made the laptop use the GPU always in the bios). In unbuntu I can set to level 3 but cannot force to use level 4. My max tgp is 140w but I cannot exceed 100w of power draw when I game. In game like Diablo 4 (don't judge me lol) I have high fps like 100 and drop to 40 with hiccups for no reason) on windows everything work perfect no lag the laptop draw the max wattage. I really want to stay away from windows and I could get some advice. I tried fedora, ubuntu, popOS (the worst in my test) and cachyos (for some reason cachyos hate my external monitor). I need advice for the desktop environment too should I use gnome or kde with nvidia ? Thank you !

Minecraft Bedrock

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 Apr 2025 - 11:43pm

Hello! Has anyone managed to install the new Minecraft Launcher or Bedrock on Linux yet?

I'm aware of the Bedrock Launcher that uses the Android Pocket Edition Version to allow playing Minecraft on Linux, but I'd rather not buy the game again on Android just to play it on Linux.

Has anyone managed to get a WineTrick or anything going to get actual, proper, PC Bedrock Edition running on Linux?

ReShade or ENB for Grand Theft Auto V Legacy (GTA 5)?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 Apr 2025 - 10:55pm

When I try and use ENB with GTA, I get to the siren loading screen followed by a CTD. Tried some suggestions I found online but no luck unfortunately.

I've also attempted to use ReShade, but nothing happens. I installed it from that one GitHub Linux ReShade installer, but any time I load my game nothing seems to happen. Can't pull up the on screen display or anything.

Have any of you guys had any luck getting it to work on GTA V for Linux? I'm using Pop!_OS and have the Steam version of the game.

Price aside, and only for the sake of performance would it be better to purchase old school retro titles available through steam or is emulation on Linux better?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 Apr 2025 - 10:36pm

Hey all,

So this question came up while I was playing a bit of the original Final Fantasy on Steam. Price aside (since I usually get these kind of games when they're on sale for like a dollar or two) do these games tend to run better on Steam or would they run better if emulated on Linux? Or is it more of a case by case basis? If so are there any resources available that compare how the games run via Steam or an emulator?

I'm interested in building a library (not sure how large yet) of older games I played as a kid or games I never got a chance to play since my parents didn't have much money when I was little so I'd only get maybe a game or two a year out of like the hundreds I wanted lol

I plan on emulating on desktop linux (Arch) and also my Steam Deck likely both via EmuDeck and I do dual boot with Windows so might consider having a copy of the library there as well
