Games freezing randomly until I alt tab into the game once more.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Sep 2025 - 10:14pm

First off I am on NVIDIA (rtx 5070Ti) on wayland with 2 monitors, which I know is not really the most stable experience currently. Games do work fine though but some games, especially games using Proton / Wine just randomly freeze untill I tab back in even though I never left the game, this happens with dying light the beast for me. I fixed it in alan wake 2 by going into winecfg and enabling fullscreen windows grabbing cursors. would anyone here know of a fix on how I could prevent dying light the beast from freezing? I use arch but I am also getting this on other DEs and Distros (currently on KDE Plasma). It may also be useful to know that I have an amd cpu (9800x3d) which has an integrated GPU.

New Version of Proton-GE

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Sep 2025 - 9:21pm

GloriousEggroll has released the latest version of Proton-GE (10-16). I tried to install it, but it seems to me that the content of the tarball is like the one is used to compile, I mean is not the same like the content was inside the 10-15 version… when I tried on Steam, it doesn’t recognize that it placed at the corresponding folder…

It’s just me… or I’m so stupid to don’t know how to install this latest version

Games displaying higher resolutions and fullscreen issue at native resolution

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Sep 2025 - 9:13pm

I have a 4K monitor (3840x2160), but games (from Steam) are displaying higher resolutions than my monitor's native one, up to 5120x2880:

https://preview.redd.it/l3tftb12jkqf1.png?width=760&format=png&auto=webp&s=c9269dbc9a19784770e82741d8c70dce56c20ff4

Also, if I set the resolution to 3840x2160, Cyberpunk 2077 does not run at fullscreen:

And there is no option besides Windowed and Windowed Borderless.

I'm on Fedora 42 with Gnome.

Please, any ideas?

Expedition 33 + Mangohud

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Sep 2025 - 9:11pm

I just got Clair Obscur Expedition 33 today after wanting it since it came out but I had a surgery and finished other games in my catalogue first. Now whenever I launch Expedition 33 Mangohud pops up, once I get to title screen it dissapears and once I'm in game it is no where to be found. My graphics were auto detected as epic and I would like to see my temps and fps so that I may calibrate it to WHAT I WANT, not what the game thinks is better for me. Any fix to this, I found a bit online about this issue but no fixes, just a forum post that leads to 3 other forums wherte it has been solved but no one say's fk all about how.

This is offensive

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Sep 2025 - 9:08pm

Can someone tell Jay to stop talking about Linux? I don't understand how huge content creators can spew outright lies and disinformation like this without getting called out. Judging by some of the other unethical things he's done in the past, I'm almost convinced now he intentionally sabotaged his linux system.

edit: I posted the YT link with the timestamp but it seems it's not starting at the correct time. 15:42 is where he talks about linux.

Moving to Linux as a streamer

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Sep 2025 - 8:44pm

Hi I am about to move to Linux mint on my new AMD pc, mainly for the freedom I get on there but also because I have seen a lot of videos about how performance for gaming is better on Linux nowadays. I just have a couple of questions. I play a lot of call of duty mw and now some of the newer black ops titles and also battle field. I have tried to look on ProtonDB to see what is supported but I have seen people say they have played COD on Linux but then proton is saying I won't be able to. So will I be able to play COD on Linux and if so how? Can I play VR games on Linux especially the multiplayer titles like tac assault? What is editing like on Linux? And finally can I run DAWs on Linux and if so how is the performance of a DAW on Linux? Sorry if my grammar was bad I did go through everything more than once to make sure it is readable but I am writing this with minimal sleep due to GCSEs. My GPU will be a 9080XT if it is actually going to be a thing otherwise I'm getting a 7900XTX.

Thanks for the help :)

Need Help with Enabling Venus

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Sep 2025 - 8:10pm

Host Graphics Card: GeForce RTX 2060 Super 8GB

Host Graphics Driver: nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default-580.82.07_k6.16.7_1-2.1

(At some point I've removed this driver and tried enabling Venus with Nouveau too)

Host OS: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE

(I've installed the "KVM/QEMU/libvirt/vir-manager" stack by enabling "KVM server" and "KVM tools" via YasT Control Center.)

Guest OS: CachyOS with KDE and systemd-boot

What happened:

  1. I've managed to enable & run "Virtio-GPU + Virgl" successfully.
  2. I've been trying to enable & run "Virtio-GPU + Venus" for the past week. I've tried so many different things but the result is always same: Guest hangs at " :: Triggering uevents..." line. With "blob=false,venus=false" it'll boot properly. When I enable blob and venus " :: Triggering uevents..." problem starts.

Important bits from logs:

I got this from /var/log/libvirt/qemu/<guestname>.log

virgl could not be initialized: -1

I got this from guest via virsh console

Proton DB Down?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Sep 2025 - 7:43pm

For the past 3 days I have been trying to open Proton DB website to check Black Desert and now Expedition 33, luckily Black Desert works again after a patch 2 weeks ago screwed it up, that or kernel since I went from 6.16 to 6.18. Just got Expedition 33 today and it's one of the most played games on Steam Deck so I know it should work but I'd like to 100% know by checking a fking site... so my question is- is the site down?

Edit: As someone else said, Proton DB has blocked several countries in the past weeks. I assume Canada was part of those countries. Solved with the help of BetaVersionBY. 😊

8bitdo Arcade Stick dongle connection not working in Arch

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Sep 2025 - 7:27pm

Hi all, newb here so go gentle please! I'm trying to set up my 8bitdo Arcade Stick to work in Arch and having some issues. It works fine via bluetooth and wired, but not with the 2.4ghz dongle. I've used Windows to update firmware on the stick (no update was available for the dongle) but no change. Dmesg recognizes the device is connected but I think it doesn't know what to do with it:

[ 1205.611310] usb 3-1: new full-speed USB device number 74 using xhci_hcd [ 1205.765795] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=045e, idProduct=028e, bcdDevice= 1.14 [ 1205.765799] usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 1205.765801] usb 3-1: Product: Controller [ 1205.765803] usb 3-1: Manufacturer: 8BitDo [ 1205.765805] usb 3-1: SerialNumber: [REDACTED]

Udev rules appear to be in place correctly, but I know little to nothing about this area so correct me if I'm wrong:

/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/71-8bitdo-controllers.rules:SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="8BitDo Arcade Stick", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1", TAG+="uaccess"

This is all while using the stick in xinput mode. I've tried installing xpadneo-dkms but no change. All ideas welcome, thanks!

Any fix for Witcher 2 can't progress pass installing Visual C++ Redistributable in either Steam, Heroic (GOG) or Lutris (GOG)?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Sep 2025 - 6:34pm

Witcher 2 can't progress past installing Visual C++ Redistributable in either Steam, Heroic (GOG) or Lutris (GOG)?

Here is the copy/paste from Lutris: https://www.codedump.xyz/csharp/aNAl8YNa0w-fVFMs

And here is the copy/paste from console for Steam: https://www.codedump.xyz/csharp/aNAmGINa0w-fVFMt

Also, native isn't reliable as sometimes it isn't starting as it gives the error: could not find any usable display modes

And when it runs native I can't choose or force an ultra wide resolution, only standard resolutions can be played but on Windows I can run the game at 2560×1080.

EDIT: ProtonDB offers no help on this matter.

Fallout 4 Not Starting in Steam on Linux Mint

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Sep 2025 - 5:42pm

Hi all,

I have made multiple attempts to make Fallout 4 run on my Linux Mint machine but it always freezes up at this loading screen after attempting to load an old game and start a new one:

https://preview.redd.it/bof2qaqdfjqf1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5f19dbd4080f6083ced708ed3b4d35bbbb205643

I am using SteamTinkerLaunch under Proton 9.04f, I have also tried using Glorious Eggroll plus MangoHUD but that only results in the game launching then failing to initialize. I have attempted this both unmodded and using the following stability mods:

https://preview.redd.it/7pqk0ec1gjqf1.png?width=1295&format=png&auto=webp&s=5c3a5aecda78e161472ad9df76ff0b98374004d7

What is especially confusing is I've found lots of advice saying Fallout 4 with Steam works just fine out of the box and I've been able to get New Vegas to work unmodded and just using Steam Tinker Launch without any problems. What can I do to make F4 work?

is AMD still the GPU of choice for Linux gamers?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Sep 2025 - 5:19pm

I note that the AMD website offers official .deb and .rpm installers. Whereas Nvidia justs offers a .run file with which I have no idea what I would do with anyways.

Yes yes, I'm aware that the correct way to install any of them is via whatever package manager you're using. But I assume the above does indicate some level of how much each respective manufacturer seems to care?

Moving to Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Sep 2025 - 5:05pm

Hello,

I have a gaming laptop that can't run windows 11 so I am forced to move to Linux. I have always used windows and want to know a few things:

  1. Is Linux good for gaming? Are all games supported, I use mostly Steam games, and VR games.
  2. Which distro should I install, I have intel CPU and Nvidea GPU if it helps. I dont understand this part of Linux well!
  3. I like to play stream the game in my quest 3 through Virtual desktop, but I heard it is unsupported on Linux, any other way to do it?

Thank you for your assistance, have a great day!

PS: Might be useful, so I put it here I use quest3 and the specs are Intel Core i7-7700HQ and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070

genshin really often disconnects on linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Sep 2025 - 4:17pm

im playing genshin via bottles with soda 9.0.1

i noticed it often disconnects me from the game almost immediately once wifi is a bit bad, but it doesnt load or waits for connection to come back it just kicks me, on my w10 laptop and ipad with the same wifi it doesnt do that and if wifi is a bit bad it loads first

idk if thats a linux issue or not cuz EVERY other game that needs wifi, like wuwa works without ever disconnecting me
