Now that The Crew 2 and Motorfest are being patched to be allowed fully offline, does this mean that they might work on Linux/Steamdeck as easy anti cheat might not be used in the offline mode ?

I got gmod and i got GModcecfix thing and gmod patcher for linux. I used sniper first compatibility then it load then after that. It crashed, Proton Experiment gives black screen. Proton 9-0.2 stucks at launching. I tried postal 2 and it stuttering, and why it needs vulkan processing? I disabled it from settings then now its laggy, now i get it. Why does it do that?

Hello all, I know Hurtworld is an old game. But I do like to play it from time to time with some friends. However when I follow official documentation, although with the LinuxGSM application. it errors...

1 Workshop 1834256023 state flags: Initiating download... Download result callback k_EResultTimeout Download failed k_EResultTimeout Failed to download mod!

This is the error I get when adding loadmod to the starting parameters. This baffles me, because it does succesfully say "Added Mod <modid>" above.

Does anyone have experience with this? I would appreciate all the help.

I got a new laptop and really want to make the full switch over to linux. Most of the games I want to play on steam support linux and the only thing holding me back is roblox. I know they removed wine support about a year ago (for whatever reason) so I was wondering if there's a new method that I could use to play the game on linux mint.

Heard of sober but apparently lots of people are experiencing mouse or login issues. Also don't want to risk an account ban. Thanks in advance :)

In news that might hopefully be good for Steam Deck and Desktop Linux players with Proton, both The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest are getting offline modes.

Hi everyone, I've noticed a difference between two machines I regularly use and I'm hoping to get some insight on why it could be occurring, and possibly some suggestions on how to address it.

Besides regular computing, I primarily use both of these machines for playing WoW via lutris, which has been a smooth experience, however the ostensibly less powerful machine (XPS) manages to produce much higher framerates, with higher stability, more consistently, and at much higher graphical settings.

The machines in question

Dell Precision 3260
CPU - i3-12100
GPU - Intel Arc A380
RAM - 32GB SODIMM DDR5 5600 MHz

Dell XPS 15 7950
CPU - i7-9750H
GPU - Nvidia 1650 Mobile
RAM - 32GB SODIMM DDR4 2666 MHz

Both machines are running EndeavourOS, have the necessary packages installed and the 3260 also has ReBAR enabled.
I know WoW has a reputation for being a particularly CPU heavy game, but from my understanding the i3 should have an advantage over the older i7 but maybe this doesn't bear out in reality. Both systems have similar CPU utilisation (20-40%) while running WoW. XPS GPU utilisation is 99%, unfortunately I'm not able to get information for comparison on the Arc card, but hopefully this will change in the near future with the upcoming kernel updates. Only other thing I can think of would be the thermals - the XPS does eventually kick out enough heat to warm a small room but without noticeable drops in performance, I've also got a pair of external 80mm fans blowing air into the 3260, which manages to reliably drop the CPU temp by about 20C (again, sadly unable to get temp readings on the Arc card).

Any thoughts? I've been scratching my head over this for a while.

I'm trying to play the Tomb Raider 1-3 remastered trilogy. I'm launching the GOG version through Heroic Launcher using Wine-GE 8-26 (I also tried 8-20,15,5). The game won't capture my mouse. I've seen suggestions to use "Virtual desktop" through winecfg, but that didn't work. I also checked the option on the same page for capturing the mouse in a full screen game. I'm using gamescope through Heroic launcher as well and it doesn't help. I tried passing custom arguments:

-w 3840 -h 2160 -W 3840 -H 2160 -f --

That didn't help either. The keyboard works, a controller works, but the mouse is just in the background behind the game, and it just moves to my other monitor. I've also tried turning off my other monitor.

I'm using an Nvidia gpu. Is this a Fedora, Gnome, or Nvidia problem? Any advice or ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Any clue why the game seems to be so... spotty? Is it a UE5 thing? I'm running a 5900x, 64GB of 3200mhz RAM and a 7800xt so I should have *zero* problem getting this to a locked 144hz. Is it just normal for it to run kinda shitty?

Any possible tweaks? On Artix w/dinit (if it really matters)

American Truck Simulator: huge update 1.51 released https://playingtux.com/articles/american-truck-simulator-huge-update-151-released?lang=en #Linux #Gaming #LinuxGaming

Hi, I'm new to Linux and I have only had a few problems since switching to Linux about a week ago, one of those problems is playing Final Fantasy 14.

On Windows I got a fairly steady ping of 180ms (not great because of my location, but that's what NoClippy is for), on Linux the lowest ping I get is about 210ms, with pretty constant spikes of up to almost 700ms which rounds out to an average ping of a little over 500ms during active gameplay. My ping also seems to spike up whenever I move or do an action, which is really strange. If the ping was constant I wouldn't mind too much, but its so freaking choppy I feel like I'm constantly on the edge of a disconnect.

Using the ping command in the terminal to ping the game servers directly, I get the expected 180ms average with little fluctuation.

Specs:

Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
ASRock X670E PG Lightning
32GB RAM
Radeon RX 7900 XT
Yes, I am playing the game through an Ethernet cable
(let me know If I need to add something else here)

I am using the Flatpak XIVLauncher, and I own the game outside of Steam. I have verified the files in the launcher, redownloaded the game from scratch in the launcher, and did it again with a fresh install of the launcher. No dice. The Game runs perfectly fine, its just the lag.

Any and all advice is welcome, particularly if it seems obvious.

I was sitting at work the other day on our very outdated win-8 all in one, lamenting the performance that dwarf fortress and TES2 daggerfall unity were affording me, when I suddenly remembered a few gems that used to mull me over in the past. I downloaded both to find that they ran quite well, and of course was hit with a wave of nostalgia. I was never into cs_surf type stuff, but was immediately zooming around in UT and feeling like a kid again. Obviously with proton and native Linux compatibility increasing we have come a long way, but I'm curious how many of yall remember these absolute godsends, when linux compatibility was an afterthought.

I'm trying to build a mini ITX pc to have it under my tv with Bazzite. I encounter the issue that the amd gpu I picked won't fit my case, it turns out my best choice I have is an nvidia 4060 low profile and I know nvidia has issues with Game Mode in Linux, in case that I go this route, what would be the difference between Game Mode and SBP in this use case? Also, is there any hope that Nvidia would fix this in the future? Meaning that is a matter of time or is it something that actually might not happen?
