Counterstrike Doesn't Launch

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 May 2025 - 3:37pm

When launching the latest version of Counter-Strike 2 using linux native, the game will attempt to open, but crash before loading the GUI. When running it through proton, the game will start up just fine, but I get a VAC error despite not having modified the game. It worked fine in linux native yesterday morning, but started having issues when I ran it again in the evening. I've not changed anything between game launches.I'm scratching my head with this, trying to figure out what's up.

I am running Arch on Sway WM, have 2 monitors, (ultrawide @2560x1080/144 and a vertical @1080x1920/144) with an Nvidia GPU, and AMD CPU. All drivers and software are fully up to date, including through Pacman, the AUR, and FlatPak.

I will post logs when I get home.

Genshin Impact (part999)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 May 2025 - 3:36pm

Good day to yall. This is ANOTHER Genshin Impact post lol, sorry about that.

My sister is playing Genshin in the PC and I recently changed the PC to Linux from Windows.

So ChatGPT is suggesting to get it with Wine or "Anime Launcher". Some YouTubers reccoment "Heroic" launcher instead.

I tried Heroic launcher first, it was the third worse experience I had in PC.

Moved to Anime launcher and for some reason I couldnt get the game to start.

At the end I tried wine and lutris to launch HoYo and start the game. But the game was really laggy compared to the Windows experience.

After plenty of mistakes I reset my PC and I start again. I would like to hear experiences on the matter and suggestions of how to move forward and what road to choose so my sister can have a good experience with the game again.

Note: I can retry some of the stuff I already did, if I hear that they are worth it.

Speedrunning on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 May 2025 - 3:26pm

Has speedrunning on Linux improved at all? Is there any good tools I can use (especially when i use a ps4 controller) for the timer and splits and whatnot? I tried last time a few years ago and it was a huge headache to get anything working, so I'm wondering if theres any new tools and whatnot that would let me speedrun without problem on Linux?

Question regarding on-board mouse profiles with a non-Linux compatible mouse

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 May 2025 - 3:13pm

Going to switch to Linux soon. (First timer here.)

From what I gathered, my mouse (Roccat Kone XP Air) isn't supported by Piper or Eruption.

Here's my question: assuming I set up different profiles in Windows and save them as on-board profiles, will they still work in Linux? I would also set the profile switch action to one of the buttons.

The profiles and key bindings should be saved on the on-board memory, but I wonder if they will still be detected under Linux.

If anyone has any experience with a similar setup, please let me know. Any help or insight is appreciated in advance!

GE-Proton10-2 Released

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 May 2025 - 2:00pm

GE-Proton10-2 Released

Repository: GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom · Tag: GE-Proton10-2 · Commit: b454e49 · Released by: GloriousEggroll

Hotfix release:

Fixes missing comma in proton script causing prefix issues (this was also a valve upstream issue) Fixes accidental import of the steam ffmpeg libraries instead of the ones we build and ship (this was an accidental copy/paste when porting changes from Proton 10) -- this should fix video playback in a lot of titles as they worked in proton 9 Removes setting ENABLE_HDR_WSI -- this option is only specific for the vk_hdr_layer (https://github.com/Zamundaaa/VK_hdr_layer) hack, which is -not- needed as of mesa 25.1 and can cause washed out colors. If you previously used this, it's advised to remove it, and update mesa to 25.1 if you want HDR. added a few patches for allowing more launchers to work in wayland (epic, battlenet, star citizen) added patch to allow 32 bit EOS overlay to work for Among Us. added raw input patches for winewayland (un-accelerated mouse) added touchpad scrolling support patch for winewayland xalia library updates imported from upstream dxvk updated to latest git vkd3d-proton updated to latest git

This release has 6 assets:

GE-Proton10-2.sha512sum GE-Proton10-2.tar.gz GE-Proton10-2.tar.zst SHA256SUMS Source code (zip) Source code (tar.gz)

Can't Get Nvidia Proprietary Drivers Working With Weird PC Config

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 May 2025 - 12:59pm

Hello, I've been stuck with this issue for a day and half now so any help would be greatly appreciated.

This config worked for some time on my last Fedora install (with 550 proprietary driver) but I need to reinstall the OS and it just doesn't want to work in any way I've tried so far:

  • I've tried various distros: Arch, EndevaourOS, Mint, Fedora (Workstation & KDE Plasma Edition), they all will fail to work correctly after installing the proprietary drivers, with nouveau they at least booted
  • I would like to use Fedora if possible
    • I've tried using drivers from both RPMFusion & Nvidia's own site (550 and 570)
    • I've tried to add this into a modprobe.d config file:options nvidia NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus=1
    • I've tried using both X and Wayland
  • I've disabled Secure Boot
    • I've also tried using CSM instead of UEFI Booting, disabling SVM mode and memory fast boot but these didn't help so I've reverted them
  • Most of the times what happens after installing the new drivers and rebooting:
    • nvidia-smi doesn't recognize the device
    • nvidia-settings doesn't show any useful information
    • display gets stretched (runs at 720p on my 3440x1440p 21:9 monitor)
    • Sometimes black screens / desktop freezes also happened
  • I've ran some commands and tried searching for a bit on forums as well, maybe this is helpful information:

My PC specs are:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700x3D
  • GPU: Nvidia RTX 3080Ti Mobile ("Chinese AliExpress/Ebay Special")
  • RAM: Mixed G.Skill 2x8GB + Kingston 2x4GB (running at the Kingston's lower speed I think)
  • Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max (BIOS Version: E7C02AMS.3K2, Build Date: 08/30/2024)
  • Storage: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB Nvme Drive + 240GB Crucial SATA SSD
