I've used Windows basically all my life but decided to switch because why not and so I've been having issues of course but one I can't seem to figure out is how to get overwatch to run like it did on windows, it could run around 70 fps on windows but with protron it only goes to around 20 to 30, any ideas? Also I have 32 gigs of ram a 1030 gt graphics card (disgusting I know)

Hi, on demanding games, my rtx 3060 ti wil end up freezing and Manjaro will shut down the process causing the freeze (my game). I ran charts of the gpu metrics, but I don't understand them !

Anyway, is this a driver / software related issue or a hardware one ?

I do have very few fans in my PC, and the card is old + second hand, so the thermal paste is probably very dried out. Plus, the freezes (greyed out parts in the charts) occur when the GPU reaches 80°C.

Could someone help me figure it out ? Thanks ! If this isn't the right sub, let me know and I'll take it somewhere else !

Hello, I recently bought the game on a resale platform called ENEBA, and received it on steam. Unfortunately, it's unplayable because of the textures, structures that don't appear, and that you can see on the pictures. I've already tried a lot of things on the internet or on youtube to optimize the game, my pc, etc. but nothing works. I don't understand why, even if the quality isn't up to scratch, the structures and paths don't even appear, especially as the VRAM gauge is located underneath. Do you have any answers or solutions to my problem ?

Thanks in advance

so this is a weird problem ive been trying to install multiple games in the heroic games launcher witcher 1, Swat4 batman arkham origins and for some reason they're not performing as they should its just very laggy and idk what the issue is I checked the logs and nothing sticks out under the heroic logs it just says "(11:26:06) WARNING: [Backend]: refresh not implemented on Sideload Library Manager. Under the game logs itself it doesn't point out that anything is wrong. Ive used wine Ge and protons the only way it gets better is if i uninstall and reinstall the same game like 4 times and somehow performance gets better but im not sure if its actually performing as it should. If I install the game I want/own using a "quacked" version it works amazing ootb what could be the issue? note: I constantly see wine 64 preloader has crashed and idk how to fix that either

im using nobara 41 kde RTX 3060 64 GB of ram Ryzen 5 5600

Hi everyone! I hope i could find help here, because i really don't know what to do. I was on Kubuntu 24.04 with no GPU and with a Ryzen 5600G and its integrated graphics. A friend of mine gift me its old MSI GTX 1060 3GB and i mounted it on my pc, fair and square, installed the drivers via ubuntu-drivers command. So it was NOT a clean system installation, because of course on my system there already were old AMD drivers for the integrated graphics of the CPU. Anyway, with this card i get incredibly low FPS on many games i could play without the dedicated GPU, like Hi-Fi Rush via Proton, for instance. I looked on the web for days, but nothing. With the Unigine Heaven test i get to about 88 FPS on average, but not on the games.

Another suspicious thing is that my telegram desktop app started telling me that "There may be a problem with your graphics drivers and OpenGL. Try updating your drivers. OpenGL has been disabled. You can try to enable it again or keep it disabled if crashes continue."

I don't know, i even installed the latest drivers from the CUDA repository, which i read was better, but to no improvement.

Secure Boot is disabled in my BIOS.

I will now past the output of some tests and commands, as well as my full configuration.

Thank you and have a nice day!

Changelog:

• Removed sparse buffer usage that was introduced in DXVK 2.6. This caused all sorts of driver issues that would cause hangs and instability on AMD Vega GPUs and others. (PR #4763) Note: This may increase peak memory usage in some games again.
• Worked around an RTSS bug that would cause the overlay to render incorrectly if the Vulkan swapchain uses an sRGB format. (#4777, PR #4778)
• Worked around an issue where multisample resolves would lead to visual issues on Nvidia in certain Unity Engine games. (#4817, PR #4818)
• Worked around an Intel ANV issue that would cause terrain to misrender in games such as Assassin's Creed Origins. Note: This driver bug was fixed in Mesa 25.0.3.
• Worked around a RADV issue that would cause hangs on RDNA4 GPUs prior to Mesa 25.0.2. Note: Please keep your drivers up to date when using these newer GPUs.
• Further improved render pass efficiency for tiling GPUs in some cases, especially if VK_KHR_load_store_op_none is supported. Note: This change does not affect desktop GPUs in any meaningful way.
• Fixed a potential issue with display mode handling on uncommon monitor setups. (PR #4764)
• Fixed various issues with the SDL3 backend in dxvk-native. (PR #4825, PR #4826)
• Fixed compatibility of MSVC builds with very old CPUs. (PR #4811)
• Fixed various minor issues that would cause Vulkan validation errors in rare scenarios.
• Hitman 2: Worked around poor CPU-bound performance in certain areas. (PR #4796) Note: This may slightly regress GPU-bound performance.
• LEGO Batman: The Video Game and LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures: Worked around a game issue causing horrible UI performance. (PR #4798, PR #4810)
• Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2005): Worked around a crash on Windows. (#4624)

DXVK is a Vulkan-based implementation of Direct3D 8, 9, 10 and 11. It's part of what Proton uses to make Windows games run so well on Linux platforms including the SteamOS based Steam Deck. DXVK 2.6.1 is now available fixing up some big issues.

Hello!

I just tried to switch over to Linux for my main PC and am using Ubuntu. I downloaded Dolphin to emulate Wii and GameCube games from the official app center but cant get my GameCube adapter for the Wii U to work. When I check to see if Ubuntu is detecting the adapter I can see it recognizes it,but nothing works in Dolphin. I followed the instructions on Dolphins official page for setting it up but no luck. Wanted to ask if anyone else had a similar experience. Thanks again!

Playing Minecraft on Linux seems worse, I'm using sodium tho

I have an desktop computer, with xeon e5 2420, rx 550 2gb, 8gb ram ddr3! I'm using arch with KDE plasma 6, on Wayland btw. The main problem seems to be with my CPU? On windows when I get near lots of entities the game goes from 130 to 80-70 smth, but on Linux it goes from 180-200 to 30-40!! I'm doing something wrong? Or is this expected from this CPU? My wife has an Ryzen 5 7520u and the performance is almost double than on windows

I've been thinking about this for YEARS. Frustration towards Microsoft and windows since Vista. Every new version of windows moves away from what i find logical and efficient. Now the Philosophy and ethics of microsoft are starting to have bad aftertaste. So i'm going to stop the hesitation and go for it.

From the Short research I did, i was thinking MINT Mate distro.

My usual activities on PC are pretty simple.
- Streaming
- Playing Music from HardDrive (MP3, FLAC)
- Watching BluRay & DVD (internal drive & VLC player)
- Steam Games (EliteDangerous mostly)
- Use FlightStick and Throttle controllers (Virpil)

- ROG strix B550-F GAMING, Ryzen 7 5800x, Radeon RX 6600 XT
- Old, non-smart, 1080p TV as monitor.
- Use powered USB HUB

What do I need to know? what major task do I need to prepare to get my system working? or will it mostly be install&play ready? How does Mint handle Joysticks? Will USB hubs be recognized?

Thank you.
