I want to play with 4:3 stretched resolution but i can play with only native resolution and every other resolution no matter the aspect ratio wont work. I cant interact with the game in any way when using a resolution that is not the native resolution(see the picture). I tried to use gamescope but the game wont even start when gamescope with its parameters is in the launch options. Does anyone have any suggestions how to get it working?

howdy, folks. i'm running Linux Mint with an Nvidia graphics card, just for context. I've been playing some other graphically intensive games (the new Doom game most recently) with no issues at all, but ROR2 keeps freezing, requiring me to kill the process to exit the game. Sometimes it happens at launch; sometimes after I tab out from the game; sometimes just randomly when playing. I've also tried a few different Proton versions, including the newest GE-Proton, but still no dice. If anyone has any advice I'd be very thankful

Good news for keeping your games secure, as GOG have announced they've added support for authenticator apps for two-factor authentication (2FA).

Microsoft just announced that the Windows Subsystem for Linux is now officially open source. While it doesn't necessarily mean much for traditional desktop Linux, it's still a nice move.

Discord seems to be really really touchy for Linux, but Vesktop seems to be a good replacement. But I have two very consistent issues that I dunno how to fix.

1) Webcam consistently flickers in and out. On my end, when I see myself on the webcam I look perfectly fine, but to everybody else in the call they see my box go pixelated or freeze on one screen and it stays that way for hours or just forever. No errors are visible on my end! My webcam preview doesn't have slow down or glitching, so I assume there's some miscommunication between Vesktop and everyone else??

2) Screenshare consistently flickers in and out! Same issue as before! I'll be screensharing and randomly the picture will flash a darkish green across the entire screen. Usually, when I first turn on the share screen I'll see the picture come on, green flash pops up for a second, and then it fixes itself. Only sometimes does the picture completely crap out, the green flashing picks up, and then it just stops working. A lot of the time the screenshare works just fine, which is nice! But when this flickering happens it also pixelates the screen after it stops.

Worth noting I do have hardware acceleration on. I'm using the flatpak version of Vesktop too. I know there's extra stuff in Vesktop's options, so perhaps I need to turn some else on? I've heard of Flatseal, which sometimes helps with permissions for flatpaks. Any help is appreciated!

I'm running this on Linux Mint, which has THE HARDEST TIME running Discord's screenshare without cutting the audio out completely. And before anybody asks, I've also tried Discord Canary and while that is very stable it doesn't share audio and it makes me wanna cry.

SPECS (I dunno, maybe it's needed)

• OS: Linux Mint Cinnamon 21
• CPU: 11th Gen Intel Core i5-11400F @ 2.60GHz
• RAM: 46.9

Hey guys. So, a weird issue.. Doom loads, and IS playable on my setup..But I can't select the resolution my gaming display is. IE: If I go to set 3440x1440, it doesn't exist as an available option, only upto 2560x1440 max..

any thoughts? idk where to begin checking on this. Endeavour OS is the operating system, most recent mesa/AMD drivers installed..

hello everyone, trying to set up Overwatch 2 which i've installed on Flatpak Steam. despite my attempts at solving the issue in the title, what keeps happening is that i will go in a shooting range game to test the changes out. but, after 1 to 2 minutes of being in this practice range, the game will become unresponsive and freeze. the rest of the system is fine and i can alt-tab out.

i also found that any settings changes i made in one session were overriden in the next, defaulting to what OW2 considered the best settings for my system. this by itself isn't exactly a bother as it should run fine, but the fact it resets any changes is likely part of the problem at play here.

currently attempted fixes

• sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=2147483642 (which made my game a lot smoother, seemingly, but didn't fix the freezing)
• DXVK_HUD=compiler to see cache progression. but i didn't see it pop up..
• __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 to prevent the game from deleting shaders once done, so its easier to start up
• used Proton 8.0.5, 9.0.4, GE Proton 9.27... and also tried no layers. OW2 runs very well on Proton 8.0.5 for me, but nothing about the freezing changed
• trying just a "vanilla" launch with no layers and launch options, which also does not change anything

this has not happened to me on the many other games i play, such as TF2, Monster Hunter Rise, Deep Rock Galactic, Critter Cove to name a few... so i'm guessing this is specific to OW2.

i'm on Void Linux, with a correctly set-up Nvidia Optimus configuration, a Geforce GTX 1050 Ti and drivers 570. i also have 8GB ram (which, surprisingly, i got to get away with for a lot of games), if this matters.

some logs

here's an extract from 'prime-run steam', where i took what i thought were interesting bits. i'll add i had OW2 with Proton 8.0.5 and 'PROTON_LOG=1' for this test :

So I recwntly installed CachyOS, at first I have some problems because of Windows pagination and divide partitions (dual boot), but with Mini Tool Wizard I finally could make a partition for CachyOS, after that I tested DBD with Proton 10/9 in Heroic Games Launcher and was normal, but somehow in others games like Darksiders 2 and Salt and Sanctuary from Epic, Salt even start it, just open with and error and for Darksiders 2 I open it and was normal, but the second time I tryed open it wasnt working anymore, I reviewed the drivers and system updates, but nothing working, I also tried to change my kernel to bore-lto and enable prime, and also dont work.... I starting to think that the problem is my Laptop, yep, my Dell G15 5511 (RTX 3050 4GB, i5-11400H), because it use something like a hybrid format, sometimes the i5 and sometimes my RTX, and I'm considering into installing a new distro more easy for gaming, like Nobara, Bazzite or even SteamOS. Maybe Anyone could make a suggestion or help me? Thanks!

I started playing RE7 yesterday, and found out that videos didn't work. So I switched to Proton GE and videos still didn't work.

Then, I tried a earlier version of Proton GE (9-27) and videos worked correctly.

Is there something different with the Proton GE 10 release?

Hi, i have an issue with booting up Street Fighter 6 on my Linux Mint cinnamon system. This happens during the initial startup of the game when the game is compiling shaders. I tried everything i found online but nothing helped.

(not my video, taken from post: \"Proton refuses to launch games\" by u/Tough_Chance_5541)

I've seen and attempted tens of fixes for this issue, and the result of all of them is probably reduced performance and future conflicts, if anything. This is a solution I have seen no one mention before.

I dualboot Windows with Linux Mint and have had numerous issues with Steam using both NTFS and exFAT on my games hard drive, which led me to reformat to ext4 for that native support. In the process, I have been moving all of my games (about 4TB total) between my hard drive and an external drive to save time and WiFi. Originally, I copied just the /steamapps/common folder, but the games wouldn't show up so I copied the whole SteamLibrary folder and they showed up. Native games worked fine and a few specific Proton games worked too. This was an error.

Solution: Simply, copying the whole SteamLibrary or even steamapps folder from Windows is a mistake. The files included are for Windows only. ONLY COPY the common folder and all of the appmanifest.acf files from steamapps. Put them elsewhere and let Steam make its own library folder, then copy them over and merge the folders.

In hindsight, this is rather obvious and I ended up figuring it out on my own. The reason I'm making this post is because I spent a few nights troubleshooting and heard every shot-in-the-dark solution except this one, and it would have saved me hours if this post existed for me. I'm sure others will have this same problem, in fact I've seen it in forums all over the internet (I thought to try this because of a Factorio forum post), especially because most people coming from Windows with large libraries will likely make the same error.

Games didn't work from the start for me. Many people have instead reported this issue happening at random after games were already working; below are all of the solutions I have seen mentioned, in no particular order.

Other fixes:

• Clear download cache
• sudo apt update & upgrade
• Test all versions of Proton
• Disable Steam overlay
• steam --reset
• Install/reinstall Vulkan and AMD drivers
• Enabling 32-bit support
• chown games drive
• Delete compatdata folder and restart Steam
• Downloading mesa drivers (including one set of third party drivers)
• Reinstall Steam from your distro's repo, Flathub, and official .deb, never the snap version (fyi clean reinstall requires uninstall, then purge, then rm remaining local files/folders)
• Running games in Lutris
• Give Flatpak permissions via Flatseal (avoid "filesystem=host" and "filesystem=home," add necessary drives/folders in "Other files")
• Installing wine and proton-GE
• Running in Wayland
• Symlinking in ~/.local/share/Steam
• Reading through logs of running Steam in terminal as well as PROTON_LOG=1 %command% (many, many red herrings)
• Reformatting: NTFS is bad, exFAT is less bad, ext4 is best
• Reinstall linux
• Convert to Islam
• just waiting
• magic
