Distro is Nobara KDE. I'm using the HDMI port because monitor is a TV, it's not a cable problem because the iGPU can output 4K 120Hz with the same cable. Any ideas?

I'm on Fedora Workstation 42, and have installed most of my gaming stuff via flatpaks. I'm not tech savvy in any way, but I can search for information online. I believe everything was installed correctly, and I keep the entire system updated. I can run the few games I'm interested in, most of them are native Linux, but I've been having issues with Gamescope, MangoHUD and possibly Game mode, which would be quite helpful since my system isn't gamer, but I know it's able to squeeze some performance to play old and indie games.

The issue with Gamescope might be related to the Geforce 940M. Many issues are reported when trying to use the microcompositor with Nvidia GPUs, although it's supposedly much better now. I simply can't make it work either on Wayland or x11. Both games I tried (The Long Dark and Northgard) won't even launch or totally ignore the launch commands.

MangoHUD works nicely with The Long Dark, so I suppose it's a problem with the other game, Northgard, which is unfornate since this games lacks a frame limiter, which I really need. Still I should say I'm not sure if I missed something setting up MangoHUD, maybe there is a setting or something to make it work with Northgard.

And I suspect Game Mode doesn't work at all. Here's the terminal log:

gamemodeauto:

The game still runs nevertheless. I don't know if it's related, but I have Steam Overlay disabled.

Hello everyone, I am just someone who just wants to play games and enjoy Linux Mint to the fullest. Right now I am having issues setting up the SA Mod Manager for SA2. I have already set up PkR's SADX Mod Installer for Sonic Adventure 1 and had no issues with it, and everything worked beautifully minus audio cracking when playing the audio on my monitor, but it's not a big deal, and I wear headphones to fix the issue. However, whenever I tried to install the SA Mod Manager for SA2, I had no luck. I saw this guide (https://gamebanana.com/tuts/18820) that's fairly recent, thinking I can be able to fix the issue, but whenever I replicated everything in the guide, to my surprise, it didn't work because whenever I tried to run Sonic Adventure 2 on Steam, it immediately closes right after without the mod manager window ever popping up, and I have no idea what the problem could be. If anyone can help solve my issue, it would be much appreciated.

Currently playing through kingdom hearts final mix for the first time and LOVING it.

But after closing and opening the game last night, 2 black bars have appeared above and below the screen that I just can’t get rid of.

I’ve tried changing the resolution in the game, changing the resolution for the steam deck and changing the individual game preference resolution on steam os.

I've also tried swapping between windowed mode, full screen mode and borderless full screen. Sometimes it seems to work for a little bit but then whenever I close the game goes back to the bars and after about 30 minutes of fiddling with these settings it might go back to no bars???

If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated! The small black bars make a big difference on the 7” screen.

I am having an odd issue where I can play online ranked and quick match just fine, I can also play custom lobbies but it fails against certain players. For example Friend 1 I can play with him just fine and friend two matches won't connect so I end up dual booting windows. Any suggestions thanks in advance.

I am running Linux 6.16.0-5-cachyos

I am a Linux noob, and I'm trying to get World Of Warcraft installed.

So far, I've managed to get Battle.net installed and working, my problem is now how to work out the file locations / paths. When I try to set the download location in Battle.net, it shows some folder locations that have Windows style names and paths (i.e. c:, My computer etc). I can't see anywhere that shows the SSD I want to install it on (it's a separate SSD from the OS).

I have the same issue if I copy over my old Windows install to the games SSD, when I try to tell the installer where the game is, I get the same old Windows style locations and no sign of the games SSD.

The SSD is mounted in the file system (I set it to do that automatically on start up, and it hasn't been unmounted).

Any ideas how I can specify the correct path to my second SSD?

Thanks.

Hi All

I primarily play games on Linux through Proton, I tend to find that it works really well with only the odd issue for most games that I play. I recently tried playing Nice Day for Fishin' from VLDL, and I really struggled with the timing aspect of it. I ended up purchasing the game on Switch and I didn't have anywhere near the same problems.

Has anyone else encountered this? That in games that require specific timing (think Dark Souls style parry mechanics) where you just can't seem to get it right? Does anyone know if this is just due to extra latency occurring because of Proton acting between your inputs and the game?

I had struggled with Grounded a while ago not being able to parry very well, but I just thought that I sucked on the game. After my experience with Nice Day for Fishin', I feel that it may be something else.

Thanks

I found a mod manager that supports most of my moddable games. All you need is an API key from your nexus account and you're good to go. Limo has a straight forward UI and supports automatic downloads. My jerry rigged m02 and vortex setup is no longer possible on my OS, so I had to try this

As its currently, sadly, not possible to run Battlefield 6 on (Arch) Linux I have installed Windows 10 on a second hard drive. But the next problem is, that Battlefield 6 requires SecureBoot...
Now the question is how I can achieve having secure boot enabled and still being able to boot into arch and into windows using GRUB.
Does anyone have any experience in this?

My pc crashes when I connect my TV to it (and refuses to boot with my tv connected) but it’s stable if I disconnect some monitors. I assume it’s a bandwidth issue and that Linux might not support DSC and therefor also does not show 480hz as an option in the display settings even though my monitor is 1440p 480hz and does work fine on windows. Is there a way to enable DSC on specifically nobara?

Valve released a small update to the Steam Beta Client to continue working on the newer Performance Monitor.

The game otherwise runs fine on my Ryzen 5 2600/RX580 8GB/16GB RAM system running Linux Mint Cinnamon. It runs at a good enough 55-60 FPS but it has this really annoying "microstuttering" or that choppiness you can just about see at the beginning of the video. I don't really know what is the name of that, since it doesn't affect the FPS in any way. It's not even really noticeable in the video. But it's still driving me mad since it does run smooth on Windows. It did get better after I realized I had no swap file and then set up a 16gb swap file on my drive, but setting the suggested starting parameters from ProtonDB and changing the Proton version from default to Experimental to GE-proton really had no effect. Is there any solution to this? Thanks!

On Windows, I used PBO2 to set a -30 offset on all cores for my Ryzen 7 5700X3D, since my BIOS doesn’t support Curve Optimizer. Now that I’ve switched to Linux (CachyOS/Arch), what’s the best way to achieve the same thing?

They finally did it. Native Vortex for Linux Limited game support, but there are options to add unsupported games and it works well with some games.
