Hello, I am using Arch Linux and have been for awhile. I have tons of games working but I am having issues getting Outlast Trials and Warhammer Dark Tide working. Both of these games are running into a similar issue where I am unable to connect to the game server. Both games have similar logs where they are timing out when trying to reach the game server.

I am dual booting and they work on Windows. The games also work on the Steam Deck on the same network. I can get the games to work if I use my hotspot. I do have Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime installed and I have tried many different version of Proton and GE-Proton.

I am lost and just don't know where to go from here so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey, Switched over to linux on home computer in October and then bought a new computer in February.
It appears I somehow have both Flatpack and DNF linux going. I think most of my game are able to be seen and launching steam GUI on the desktop as the flatpack version.
I tried launching steam DNF version in the Menu and I can't see my games (Probably just need to change some settings to see them).
I want to uninstall one of them but when I checked `~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam/userdata/` vs `~/.local/share/Steam` they both had recent file updates. Is it possibly using data from both? Should I uninstall DNF as it seems the less used or is there a good reason to fiddle with its configs to see games and then uninstall the other one?
I mainly noticed this after trying to join a steam game of helldivers after using `steam steam://joinlobby....\` that worked on the previous computer.

Hi folks,

Just wanted to get some opinions on this. I've been on a couple of different distros since I got my 9070 XT, but I've settled on Fedora 43 and enjoying it so far. I'm not necessarily blaming Fedora or anything, but I've been sort of disappointed with gaming performance so far. Not sure if I'm expecting too much, and I know I could be CPU bottlenecking. But I'd like to think I could hit a consistent 60 FPS on a game from 2021 with my specs. The result is the same whether I disable RT or not as well.

Let me know any thoughts or tweaks I could make - thanks!

Recentemente migrei do Windows 10 para o Zorin os, sistema maravilhoso, mas no the witcher 3 estou tendo um infortúnio. quando carrego um save, morro ou dou fast travel, o FPS cai bruscamente.

config:

xeon 2640v3

32gb ram

proton GE latest

não tinha esse problema no win10, alguém já teve esse problema, ou tem alguma sugestão? desde já Agradeço.

I have bedrock edition for mobile phones, but not for Chromebook as I thought they were sold together, not separately. I don't have much money and do not wish to get Java due to that. The official launcher for Minecraft Bedrock for Chromebook needs an additional purchase for download. I am wondering if there is any sites or apps to safely install an optimised version for Chromebooks that would work like how Prism would, though for Bedrock. Thank you in advance

I've been really enjoying Crimson Desert and It has been performing relatively well on linux thus far... until now.
I decided to go north randomly and explore the desert area early. I mainly use the grapple arm for traversal when suddenly, climbing up the rocks caused me to freeze. It isnt immediate and there's no lagging or warning signs. Looking at my totals, Vram seems fine, memory is more than adequate, and CPU goes on Idle, waiting for something.

I can go anywhere I want just fine as long as I dont use the grapple arm and its puzzling that I feel like the only person who's posted this as I am beginning to be convinced it might be a linux problem but I am here anyways as I feel most people in FAQ's will point to linux being the problem with A TON OF TESTING.

• any other area of the map (so far) > fine
• Lowered all graphical settings > still crash
• +enabled FSR and frame gen >still crash
• verified cache integrity > still crashes
• unload and reload > still will crash
• swap characters and back > still crash
• downgrade proprietary driver from 590 to 580 (included re-precompiling shaders for like 20 minutes) > still crash
• Happens with or without my normal Launch args (see below)
• Happens in Proton GE 34 and experimental (have not tried hotfix)

BUT I have a theory, I noticed climbing and going about without grapple arm, effects and paritcles acted "buggy" sometimes not spawning particles or models for the wings or force palm and even UI being delayed. GPU and CPU ramped up more than normal which was odd for climbing the side of the cliff. This all made me wonder if i was bugging out some sort of LOD chunk triggers and they forgot to add the grapple arm to the list of effects and models to unload when the game gets too heavy.

Im open to suggestions anyways because it sounds like other people dont have this problem with the lack of talk I'm seeing.

I wanted to install some flatpaks for the old Nintendo emulators that got shut down. I see the "public" githubs for these flatpaks on flathub show that they haven't received updates since they were officially shut down. Does that mean the flatpak from flathub itself has also been untouched since then? Or could someone have done some updates to them without it being reflected in those public githubs? I'm not really sure how flatpaks on flathub work when it comes to these public repositories and their updates.

I don't know much about this so I'm just wondering if it's safe to install them or if someone could have maliciously made updates to them since they were officially shut down and went into maintenance mode. I went ahead and added them to the mask list and removed their network permissions via flatseal.

I just got a Logitech g502 Hero & while setting it up I was trying to use piper to edit the button mapping & colours but noticed it wasn't doing anything. For example whenever I change one of the rgb colours & click apply, the colour cycle resets but doesnt actually switch to what I applied it to. I have ratbagd already installed so I don't whats wrong with it. Im using Mint btw if that makes any difference

So I've seen the various posts in here about getting Doom the dark ages running on the RX 580 via RADV_PERFTEST=emulate_rt and VRSNULL, and it just doesn't work. I've been at this all day trying to figure out what it is i'm missing. and as for RT emulation, Quake 2 RTX so far is the only game that actually works with this. Using CachyOS (React Theme)

Hi. What's your favorite version of Metal Gear Solid that runs well on Linux (Ubuntu 25)? I haven't played it since the PS2 days, and I'd like to grab a copy of one of the versions to play on Linux (very modern laptop with dedicated GPU).

Thanks in advance.

I've spent hours trying to work out this issue, where my controller is recognized by wine, but just does not get recognized in games, like fifa 16 or PES 2021. I've used AI multiple times and tons of google searchs.

But the solution that worked for me is: frustratingly simple. No modules, translation layer or stuff like that.
1. Replug xbox controller (to make sure we are working on clean state)
2. winecfg and go to Libraries
3. Look for xinput1_* and xinput9_1_0 as shown in picture:
4. Set them to builtin, then native
5. Try the game again!
6. If doesn't work, check if you have xinput installed by winetricks

That was what worked for me. If you have had any issues with anything related to FIFA or PES, and solved it, please tell us the solution below here! Help the fellow future newcomers get back to playing and not spend 2 days troubleshooting!
Thanks.

Has anyone got experience about dual booting just for Apex or other games with a similar linux support situation? I thought I'd give Bazzite a go on my main SSD and install windows on my old SATA SSD just to play Apex and other games that don't work on linux.

I’ve been working on a virtual pet game inspired by the old Tamagotchi-style experience — something you check throughout your day and slowly get attached to.

One thing that mattered to me was making sure it runs natively on Linux, without relying on Wine or Proton.

Here’s a quick demo of it running on my system 🙂

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Specs:

RAM: 32GB DDR5

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 6600H

STORAGE: KINGSTON NVME 1TB

MONITOR: 2560x1440 144Hz

I honestly was desperate to reach higher fps since I was gonna start recording my games soon and sometimes my friends ask me to stream my game on discord, this would instantly get me down to 130+ or even lower fps on roblox, minecraft etc. Then I dual booted linux mint and I can't even get 100 fps on left 4 dead 2 or any other game, im stuck at around 60-70 fps only, it was the same result same FPS on every other distro I tried, Am I doing something wrong? I feel like reaching 60 to 70 fps only on all the distros I tried means I definitely did something wrong. I downloaded all of the distros on their own website and it is their newest version, I tried terminal commands to fix my fps issue but nothing was working, I don't know if all of my drivers were even installed on Linux or not, so maybe that could be it? I am not sure

Hello everyone! I have been working on this project for quite a while, building my own custom handheld console for gaming & everyday PC use, running Linux (and Windows for those who might care about that). I have made a ton of progress both with the design and the prototypes, so I thought it would be a great time to share an update of what I have been building with everyone here! For those seeing this for the first time, It is called the CG Deck, an open-source and modular x86 handheld PC.

For those seeing this project for the first time, My initial goal was to create a ultra small handheld PC that was entirely self contained and can be thrown in a backpack or large cargo pants pocket (The entire device is 7.4" x 4.6" x 2.25"), with a high enough standard of hardware capable of being actually useful for things like high end retro emulation, CAD design/doing light modelling tasks in Blender, PCB design, coding, graphic design, music, video editing, and gaming with my steam library! Because it runs an x86 architecture, we get the advantage of being able to natively play steam games unlike a lot of other consoles. I also wanted it to be upgradable, repairable, and modular so it can be shaped to maximize it's use cases depending on how you use it, and since my initial post, I have made leaps and bounds towards that goal!

These are a few renders of the production builds of the device. The project will be Open Source and I will be releasing everything along the way for the project so you can build your own. I will also be creating a youtube video showcasing the build process and highlighting the trials and challenges of creating a "Production" device. The "Documentary" will be going over everything from building the BOM and figuring out hardware to designing the shell in CAD, assembly, etc.

I wanted to try out running various popular front ends, starting with (my personal favorite) ES-DE. I am using Retro Arch backend for emulator compilation with ESDE as the front end launcher. I wanted to test out two different themes and see how they looked and the scaling fit on the 5" display. I went ahead and tested out Elementerial which has a more modern look, created by Rob Zombie and mluizvitor. The second I tested out was ESBoy by Weestuarty which has a DOS like style. Let me know which you like best, or what themes you want to see on the CG Deck next.

This project has been an absolute blast so far, and thank you for all of the support so far! If you are interested in following along with the project or learning more, you can find everything from specs, more details, socials, links to the open source github repository and more.

Once I start wrapping up the project, I will be launching a Kickstarter to help fund a full production run of the device for anyone interested in helping support the project and getting a CG Deck of their own. I am planning to release some build kits and pre-assembled devices with the Kickstarter, and if you have any questions about that, I would love to answer them!

*edit*: Here is the link to learn more about the project if you are interested: https://mogozen.com

[SOLVED]

I am a newbie to Linux gaming and want to play GTA 4. I installed Proton-GE and set it up on steam with the force compatibility thing and selected the correct Proton variant I wanted to use and hit play, but the game is not launching. I am using Linux Mint rn. Also, GTA 4 has FusionFix installed in it. What am I doing wrong? If any further details are required feel free to ask.
