I've just move back to arch linux with a new monitor with 180hz, but even using a displayport o hdmi I still can't get my pc set the 180hz performance, it only get to 165hz

I have an AMD graphic card and my monitor is the micronics mg27ff. And I tried on windows and windows recognise the 180hz.

Hi,

I'm a fairly new Arch user (noob) and I am having difficulty running The Sims 2 after using an install script called Aube TS2 Magipack. Even installing the game without the script, I have been running into issues with .NET Framework and DirectX 9.0c. A textbox prompts me to install dotnet version 4.8. I've tried to use the integrated winetricks to run the installation tool and I get stuck at "Downloading Netfx_Full_x64.msi". Using winetricks in my applications tab, the installation goes fine. Interestingly, when I go into Lutris' winetricks > install an application > install a windows DLL or component, dotnet40 & dotnet48 are checked.

The Sims 2 opens, but there are some audio glitches, and as soon as I enter a neighborhood, the FPS drops down to around 2 per second.

I'd appreciate any help with this issue.

The application had *not* terminated.

I have a muxless rtx 3050 4gb laptop (Asus tuf F15 2021 model) And i've been distro hopping for a bit, and at the time of writing this post i'm trying out Bazzite, as a friend told me its almost a plug and play experience, and as i just found out, its desktop environment runs on Wayland instead of X11.

My experience so far with Wayland has not been good, but not too bad, I mostly play rhythm or casual competitive games which are very sensitive with input lag. And not only Wayland just feels... incomplete, but even with better performance than windows, i feel like it somehow has more input latency than windows and x11, my system does not feel as snappy as it does when using x11, or even windows, and it's multi monitor handling is not the best either, it somehow adds more latency making my overall system feel slow, even though it's supposed to be a faster and snappier experience.

I'm thinking on going back to Manjaro just because it actually supports X11, as i tried getting it to work on Bazzite, and it just refuses to go into the desktop environment if i want to use X11.

If theres an idea or something to force Bazzite to work on X11 i'd actually apreciate it.

Thinking about switching to Linux for gaming, but I have an NVIDIA graphics card. I’ve heard it’s not ideal unless you have AMD—can anyone confirm if that’s true? Thanks in advance!

Had some counter-strike 2 (with gamescope) crashes on my "stable" OC settings (they were stable until this week). Reducing GPU Clock stabilized it again. I'm wondering if anyone else had this phenomenon.

We’ve received amazing feedback on the "Aura Kid" update. Thanks a lot for that!

The spectator question came up from many different subreddits, and it actually gave us a fun new idea.

Also, another request popped up (something about glasses & hats.... ) that’s coming very soon too!

If you haven’t seen it yet, our game is here!
Paddle Together on Steam

I'd be happy to hear your thoughts guys!

P.s. I’ve also started a TikTok + Instagram account where I share progress from the early days too (devlog vibes). Just search for Paddle Together if you’d like to support, thanks!

Any other game is successfully running. Nvidia driver is 580.xx (latest stable I think). I tried to make it run on Ubuntu 24.04.x (deb version) on a USB key instead and it just works without tinkering (beside installing Nvidia 570. Any suggestion here beside switching to a different OS?

Thanks in advance!

So after striking out on both Bottles and Lutris (neither one can install Battle.net despite my best efforts), I finally found the only sure fire way to actually successfully install and run it was via Steam.

That being said, I need some way to have Battle.net install games to a different drive other than my OS drive (in this case, Fedora). However when going through the file browser via Battle.net, it only has visibility into the simulated "C" drive. Which in reality is the drive where Fedora is installed with my home folder etc.

How do I get battle.net to see another physical hard drive that is mounted and formatted and just sitting there? I need to make sure games are installed to this separate drive as my OS drive is only 500GB and therefore rapidly runs out of space when more than a couple games are installed.

Thanks.

Hey everyone,

I used to play Destiny 2 on windows until I switched to Linux (Pop OS 22.04) last year and havent played since then.

I am on dual boot with Windows 10 and POP OS 22.04. Wanted to know if I can run Destiny2 edge of fate on a windows VM or natively via Steam? I want to make sure I can run it safely without getting banned. I am a PVE only player.

Just wanted to check here and see what are my safe options to run Destiny 2 edge of fate on Pop OS and also looking for any of the Linux users experience who have attempted to or been running Destiny 2 successfully on Linux. Thanks in advance everyone for your help and guidance.

This post isn't even gaming on Linux, this post is about gaming on Windows.
Almost every single title I wanna play REQUIRES secure boot enabled in order to launch.
Battlefield 2042, Battlefield 6, Faceit (CS2), Valorant and as I heard Call of Duty is planning to force "secure boot" in order to play it in the future.
And no I'm not going to wipe Linux (because 90% of my work is there) but it's really annoying that I just simply can't enjoy games on WINDOWS after long day of work.
Is it "really" powerful way to prevent prople from cheating? I heard cheats can be signed by user too. Like what's the point? We were just used to have all our games on our PC's and now I've been thinking about getting another PC or and XBOX just to play some games.
TL;DR: Fuck those games, i just gave upon playing any games anymore.
PS: I'm techy guy but won't be using secure boot enabled on Ubuntu...

At least this is one online game that won't be entirely killed off. Splitgate, the original one, will live one by allowing players to host matches.

I am using mainly CahcyOS and dual boot wiht W11 but there is a catch. I can't open secure boot because the i cant open cachyos. and in order to play valorant i have to open secure boot, that causes the cachyos to not boot. i cant really do anything to it rn. if anyone knows how to solve this. pls let me know :D

Hey,

I have a very old game (Counter Strike Condition Zero) that I love to play. But I don't like Steam (yes I know Steam does a lot for Linux gaming) and that's why I have the old CD version of CS:CZ.

I could not get it to work on Windows 11 and I wanted to check what you guys think if it's possible to get it to run on Linux? Or maybe someone already does and could share me some experiences?

Yes I do know that I could just use the Steam version to make life easier ;-)

I switched from Windows and have been using Fedora 42 KDE for a while now, and honestly, I’ve really enjoyed the experience. It does everything I need, and I’ve had very few issues. But would I recommend it to everyone? Actually… no. And this hit me during a conversation with a good friend of mine.

My friend (Cole) is a big-time gamer who’s still on Windows 10. We were talking about upcoming games like Battlefield 6, security concerns, and whether it’s time to upgrade his PC. Things like sticking with AM4 and upgrading, or going all-in on AM5 and building something new. What struck me later was that at no point did I suggest he move to Linux.

Thinking about it more, I would actually suggest he didn’t.

Cole works really hard. He gets up at ridiculous hours, does a full day’s work, and when he gets home, he just wants to relax and play games. He doesn’t want to mess around with Proton versions, launch options, GameScope, or anything like that. No tech problems. No hassle. Just gaming.

Yes, we know that most games on Linux will just work. But sometimes they don’t. What if he buys a game and it doesn’t run? You could say that’s on him for not checking ProtonDB first. But should he really have to do that? If part of using Linux means researching every game before you buy it, that “just get home and play” feeling is already gone.

ProtonDB also isn’t always accurate or up to date. And the launch options some games need? It’s a rabbit hole. Then there are games that just will not run on Linux at all. You know the ones. #battlefield6

So why didn’t I recommend Linux to him? Because I think you need to be a certain kind of person to really enjoy switching from Windows to Linux. If you’re technical, curious, and don’t mind working through some problems, it can be a great experience. But if you just want to turn on your PC and jump into Battlefield or Delta Force, I hate to say it but, Windows is still the more reliable choice.

Thoughts?
