Xwayland works perfectly fine, so I'll stick to it, just wanted to try how it runs with Wayland.

Distro: Arch Linux GPU: RTX 3060 Laptop Driver version: nvidia-dkms 565.77-3 DE: Plasma 6.2.4 (Wayland)

The guide I used: - https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/18r8x22/comment/kezk5jr/ to compile - And some steps from the repo to install glfw-wayland library alongside the system one.

This is not vanilla Minecraft, it's a modpack with a lot of client-side mods, some of them have a heavy interaction with rendering, like Sodium and Distant Horizons. This is the way I play Minecraft, and even if vanilla will work, that won't give me anything.

Hey! I need some help figuring out how to convert some stereo sounds to play in surround sound. My setup is a 5.1 Sherwood AVR connected via HDMI to my Lenovo Legion 5, running Arch Linux, PipeWire, X11 on a Nvidia RTX2060 (Nvidia-dkms-565) and using PAVUControl and gnome settings, i get PCM 192kHZ sent to my receiver, and everything works perfectly, aside from where there's some stereo sound playing, no matter if its firefox, of a game, I can only hear the sound on the 2 front speakers, and I have no idea how to make that processing happen when I need.
The question for me appeared when I launched Persona 3 Reloaded, turned on the system and realized that the songs are in stereo, where the rest of the game works with 5.1.
Also I wanted to watch some shows outside of the main platforms and they play in stereo, which would be great to have a form to process the audio.
Note: In pavu i have the option for audio processing as far as my understading goes, but selecting them has no effect.
Thanks in advance!

It seems like a lot of people started running into this error across various environments (desktop linux on different distros, steam deck, etc) and on many different games, starting around August 2024, but some instances of similar errors go back to early 2024 or even 2023. A few folks have found workarounds for specific games and envs, including game settings, BIOS settings, version upgrades and downgrades of various tools, kernel patches, etc, but none of the solutions generalize. Has anyone made progress investigating an underlying cause?

Here's an example of the error from Skyrim Special Edition which I've encountered running various combinations of mods on my machine with AMD CPU and GPU but haven't narrowed down to a specific mod list or configuration yet:

Assertion failed! Program: Z:\some\path\to\some.exe File: ../src-wine/dlls/winevulkan/loader_thunks.c Line: 2971 Expression: "!status && "vkCreateGraphicsPipelines""

And here are a bunch of other instances of what seems like the same problem:

• https://www.protondb.com/app/2537590#y6kw_GkDlD MS Flight Sim, nVidia GPU

Hey there! I'm using a Junkfood Arcades Snackbox Micro XL board for a controller (which has a Brook Fighting Board, that has capabilities for XInput or emulation of PS3/PS4 devices alongside XB1 and PC controls.) For this issue, it is consistent regardless of what Control mode the Snackbox is in, though I keep it in PC mode because...it's connected to a PC!

When playing fighting games, such as Guilty Gear Strive, the device sporatically ceases processing inputs. It doesn't disconnect the device, it just.... stops working.

Out of curiosity, in a terminal I had cat /dev/input/js0 running to show when inputs are being pressed on the device (not that I can see it or parse what the console is outputting, I just see there's output when a button is pressed.)

The device, when it stops responding, also briefly stops responding to /dev/input/js0. After a small amount of time, it begins responding again and the amount of time varies. The device doesn't appear or act like its disconnected (lights still appear as buttons are pressed.) I can unplug it and plug it back in and it begins responding again after the OS detects it.

I suspect this is a Linux issue as this doesn't happen on Windows PCs or my Xbox Series X.

Are there any troubleshooting steps I can or should take to get this resolved or, at least, learn more about it?

I'm running Kubuntu 24.04 LTS.

Thanks in advance!

Hello people. So just got an external hard drive to download games into but the NFTS is giving me trouble booting them. How do I format it like I'm five? Very green with Linux still

I've been able to get Sea of Thieves to open and run in previous installs of Mint 21.3. Now after a reinstall (and not having played in at least a few months) it no longer runs. I can download it and install it but on launching it all I get is a black window. It never fully runs. Steam is set to allow compatibility mode and I tried forcing the game in Proton Hotfix, Proton Experimental and the latest but same outcome.

System is Linux Kernel 6.8.0-51.

System Info: https://termbin.com/g0dm

I know I've had it running smoothly in the past but this maybe this is an issue with maybe the anti-cheat implement?

I want to play GTA V with my friends, but I've heard there's problems with the anti-cheat. I've never played GTA V so I don't know how it's handled. If I'm only playing with my friends and not with others online is the anti-cheat still an issue? Or is it even possible to only play with friends? Thanks.

This has been bugging me for two weeks now, trying to figure out how to fix it. Marvel Rivals has been crashing during game, training and even the main menu for absolutely no reason, no audio and video but PC remains running, I even check the steam mobile that it says I'm still in the game. This been happening in both Windows and Linux (EndeavourOS)

Specs are:
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X
GPU: Radeon RX XFX 7600 XT (8 pins x 2 PCIE Connectors)
Ram: 16gb
PSU: Corsair Rm750e

I havent experience crashes with other games as frequent compare to Marvel Rivals, Fortnite did not crashed on ultra setting with performance mode and DX11 but DX12 does the same blackscreen crash. I dont want to this to continue because I'm getting penalized with temporary crash. Ive seen so many post with the same issue, check the specs, change the launch option, tested protons, overclock and underclock gpu, and so much more.

I love and enjoy this game, but these crashes to then get temporary bans gives me anxiety each time I want to play. If there is anyone who dealt the same issue and have resolved it, please let me know, much appreciated.

I have an rx6800 which both monitors work, and the third display is on my iGPU and it doesn’t work. The display manager doesn’t see it at all. I swapped the monitors around and they all work from the 6800 but not the 7600x iGPU, which was working just fine in Windows. Any ideas? A google search didn’t help

Two hdmi monitors One DP monitor

HDMI on iGPU, HDMI on dGPU

Xrandr doesn’t show the iGPU display.

EDIT: when I enabled CSM to see the usb to boot bazzite from it removed iGPU from motherboard options. I found no mentions of this anywhere, and am not sure what CSM has to do with igpus, but I figured it may help someone out in the future to leave this up.

So this post is meant to be a discussion if Microsoft can if they want to Make Proton/Wine Obsolete if they ever needed to. so my line of thought is can Microsoft introduce some new APIs in DX14 or whatever new version that may come up and make it very hard for Proton devs to translate it to Vulkan? Because from my understanding is that Proton is a translation layer between Windows system calls and Linux system calls. So can they theoretically make the APIs in a way that's very Windows Specific and possibly can't be translated to linux. I am a developer myself and my intuition is yes Microsoft can make it hard but not impossible, but I feel If I don't know the inner working of stuff like proton I can't really say anything for sure(It would be great if a proton dev is here and could answer that.

One thing for sure is all the games that works now will continue working no doubt about that. But the concerns come as Linux grow more and more in popularity in gaming. Microsoft may act defensively and start making it very hard on Proton devs.

Microsoft in recent years though have playing it cool with Linux in recent years and open source community in general but Microsoft is still Microsoft and I feel if they ever feel a danger of their big market share of gamers starts to decline they may be compelled to just screw up Linux.

BTW This is all hypothetical and I don't know if it's true and hoping for some input from the community and possibly some answers if someone knows the technicalities of translations layers like Proton and WINE.

I have been partaking in some light gaming during this season, being my humble device of modest capabilities. Yet, I chanced upon a video of a gentleman playing Dota 2 with comparable specs, and he experienced no issues. This struck me with great surprise, for I cannot even access the main menu without encountering severe drop of frames. The 3D models of the heroes do not load in the 'heroes' section of the main menu, the experience is sluggish, often falling short of the desired 30 frames per second. I am unable, by the life of mine, to commence a match with other bloodthirsty gentlemen as myself.

My humble laptop's specs:

OS: Void x86_64
Host: 80TL (Lenovo V110-15ISK)
Kernel: Linux 6.12.8_1
Display (AUO71EC): 1024x768 @ 60 Hz in 15"
WM: i3 (X11)
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-6006U (4) @ 2.00 GHz
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 520 @ 0.90 GHz [Integrated]
Memory: 1.57 GiB / 3.63 GiB
Swap: 0 B / 8.00 GiB

I also have the following packages installed:

linux-firmware-intel
intel-video-accel
libva-intel-driver-2.4.1_1
mesa-vulkan-intel-24.2.8_2
mesa-vulkan-intel-32bit-24.2.8_2
mesa-24.2.8_2
mesa-32bit-24.2.8_2
mesa-intel-dri-24.2.8_2
vulkan-loader-1.3.261.1_2
vulkan-loader-32bit-1.3.261.1_2
xf86-video-intel-2.99.917.20210115_2

I have also attempted to utilize gamemoderun (with it installed, indeed), but to no avail. My system is updated to the latest version and has been restarted. At this point, I am uncertain of any further steps to improve the performance of my integrated GPU.

It is worth noting that, while my device has 4 GB of RAM, unlike the video, I would like to make aware to the reader, that Dota 2 has a minimum requirement of 4 GB of RAM.

Any guidance or suggestions to enhance my gaming experience would be greatly appreciated.

Whenever I enable DLSS Frame Generation in Hitman WoA and start a mission my screen turns dark, sometimes a good frame flashes but thats it (the menu works fine). When I pause It's like I paused without DLSS, the game is also running no problem, sound and movement works. Does it work fine for anyone? Thanks for help

On protondb, people seem to be able to play the game with AMD cards, and some people with Nvidia cards are apparently having their games crash when they touch the ground, but I'm completely unable to open the game in the first place. I click "Play" on Steam, it says "Stop" for 2 seconds and then goes back to "Play" again.

I've switched to Proton Experimental and set it to bleeding-edge, tried multiple launch options, but I can't get the game to launch. It used to launch before, but would not get past the initial loading screen with an assertion error, but ever since I've switched to bleeding-edge on Proton Experimental it doesn't launch at all anymore. I'm on the latest drivers and latest kernel.

System info:
Arch Linux, kernel 6.12.8-arch1-1, using Wayland
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU (driver version 565.77)

Don’t know if this is old news or not, but just thought that it was interesting that this is possible. I know Ubuntu is definitely not the first Linux OS people think of for gaming. Anyway I have Ubuntu on this ex work laptop that I use for non gaming purposes, basically just my main laptop and one day I was craving to play Spiderman on the couch in front of the tv and it occurred to me what if I can stream from my gaming PC in my office to this Ubuntu laptop, and connect to TV with HDMI. It works! A bit clunky but even the Xbox Bluetooth controller works right away I didn’t have to add any additional drivers. The main issue is that I can’t turn on big picture mode unless Steam is already opened and not minimized but I bet I can make some adjustments to fix that. Also my wifi can be a bit shotty on the laptop I imagine the drivers for Ubuntu WiFi just don’t mesh with the WiFi card in the laptop that well so maybe I need to upgrade it..

Hey I ran into some issues with discord today. I'm on EndavourOS.

So far I've tried:

• reinstalling discord
• trying the flatpak version
• reinstalling nvidia drivers
• deleting discord cache and config
• trying to launch without hardware acceleration

Hello, I'm buying a new PC, but I need to know if will Linux based distros fully support it or not. I know "every distro is a distro", however there are all based on Linux and will most likely run on the same kernel and use the same drivers.

PC specs:

• 32gb ddr4 3200mhz
• Ryzen 7 5700x
• Rtx 4060 8gb
• Water-cooling (if it matters)

My use is YouTube, office working and C/C++ programming for embedded systems (pic, Atmega, Esp32 MCUs, etc...).... Eventually I'm willing to play some games, like Tux Kart. I'm considering to install Linux Mint.

Is it powerful enough? Will it run great in this hardware? Thank you
