I have quite a few Ubisoft games running on Linux, and they all work fine: Far Cry 6, AC Valhalla, Shadows, etc. But AC Odyssey doesn’t run properly. After the splash screen, a small black window appears, and if I leave it for about half an hour, the game finally starts. The problem is that every loading screen takes around half an hour. Other than that, once I’m in-game, everything runs perfectly until the next loading screen.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I’m on Ubuntu x11 with the NVIDIA 580 driver and using Steam Proton, testing different versions including Proton SE.

I've noticed that when I launch a game via Faugus launcher, that when I eventually shutdown my system, it can take up to two minutes.

Checking journalctl, I found that it was indeed Faugus:

The game in question is Dead Space Remake via EA Launcher.

It might just be EA Launcher itself, but I wasn't sure. I do know that after I exit the game, it still shows as running in Faugus until I stop it even though the game has stopped.

I have also exited out of Faugus as it doesn't show up in my KDE icon tray anymore, but it looks like it's still there and hasn't stopped completely.

Hey everyone, I am a college student doing a quick survey on gaming with Linux. It’s anonymous and helps me with a research paper. It is very short, and I just need 50 responses.

After updating to nvidia 580.105.08 I noticed my second display (1080p HDMI) lost its 75hz option, the main monitor (1080p DP) still works fine.

Downgrading to 580.95.05 fixes the issue.

Anyone else ran into the same issue?

Using:
- CPU: i7 8700
- GPU: RTX 2070
- WM: niri (Wayland)
- Distro: Endeavour (Arch)

EDIT: Looks like the issue is known:

I'm Migrating from Windows to Linux, and had gotten a decent way into Linux Mint, though I hadn't started installing Steam or getting my games to work. I've heard that Secureblue is more secure than Mint. I see on their FAQ that you can run Steam, but I didn't see anything about dGPU passthrough (I'm running an nvidia dGPU in my laptop).

Before I go much further, I was wondering if anybody here is using Secureblue for gaming? Specifically with dGPU hardware acceleration?

Thanks!

I'm using Fedora 43 and playing PGA 2K23. It plays fine. However, if I add "gamescope -w 2560 -h 1440 -f -- mangohud %command%" to Steam, is displays mangohud but the performance is abysmal to the point of being unplayable. What am I doing wrong?

We've have DXVK and VKD3D-Proton for various versions of Direct3D on Linux, but now it seems we're also getting Direct3D 7 as well.

I'm not entirely sure what I thought of THRASHER but it's certainly a unique experience and it's officially out now with Linux / Steam Deck support.

So, I just recently made the switch to linux mint and I'm getting better at understanding it bit by bit. However, I really want to play cyberpunk 2077 with the mods I had. I've been having non stop issues with trying to launch it. First with it crashing and shutting down my pc when loading the shaders which I fixed. Now it just won't launch at all through the app and Im getting this error whenever I try. My library is located on a secondary drive which has been format to ext4, with a path that leads from home to that secondary drive. I know the probably has to do with the fact that the mod list is located on under compatdata which has pfx -> Drive_C. Please help because I am at a loss on how to fix this.

Hello, when I launch GTA IV on Artix, I get an error saying it can’t connect to Rockstar Games Services. Then, when I click offline mode, another error appears, and the game won’t launch because of it. A few days ago, everything was working fine. I’m running the game through GE-Proton10-25. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but it still doesn’t work. I also tried deleting the prefix folder. I hope someone can help me

Hey everyone, hope you're all well.

So I hadn't gamed in about 3 years (life, work, you know how it is). Was a bit tired of Android games, to be honest. Decided to get back into retro gaming, downloaded RetroArch, and immediately remembered why I stopped—spent 2 hours configuring shaders and settings instead of actually playing anything.

Made it worse by messing up the config and having to start over. By the time I figured it out, it was too late and my old bones were like, "nah, bedtime" lol (late 30s don't play around; it's hard to stay up as each year goes on).

So while dealing with a hangover and staring at my roof as I usually do when I need answers, I thought "there's gotta be a better way to do this." Called up a friend, went to his place, and we mapped out an AI companion idea over beers—something that could actually help with RetroArch configs instead of making you Google the same stuff every time. Now don't get me wrong, it's not fully perfected yet, but it's getting there.

Few months later (and a LOT of testing with friends), PixelPal is done.

What it does:

• Assists with RetroArch/emulator configuration, also trying to get some configs for controller setup, making it a lot easier to set up different controllers
• Manages your game library (supports 6 console types currently; will be adding more console type support)
• Tracks what you're playing and recommends games based on your library
• Built-in offline capabilities for extra privacy (though I suggest using OpenRouter API for now)
• Train it on your own data to personalize responses
• Linux only for now (because that's what I use and fully tested on linux)

Still v1.0, so expect some rough edges, but it's functional. Was a bit tired of the full setup hassle. A lot of learning, and most importantly, it was fun to build. You're more than welcome to check it out on Itch.io as well. I hope you have as much fun using it as I had building it.

I'm currently utilizing Bazzite as an entry point into gaming onto Linux as an OS. there are games that I wish to play that are easily accessible through Windows. But when I try and use Bottles to play games it refuses to add the game OR the application into bottles library. one such app was the EA App. While i do have the EA app running on the Heroic game launcher this is more specifically for Private server World of Warcraft games. this is one of the few things that keeps me tied to Windows and if i can get this part down i'm scrubbing windows on my PCs and starting fresh. what am i doing wrong with bottles that is preventing games/apps from being installed and appearing in the library portion of bottles?

If you need any info i'm happy to provide anything requested.
