I'm on Nobara. I launched BeamNG .drive through steam and it said preparing vulkan shaders or something. Forgot about it and went to to something else. About 1h15 later, i came back to my PC and started doing other stuff then the game window popped up in my face... IT TOOK MORE THAN AN HOUR TO PREPARE VULKAN SHADERS!!! So long that i forgot i even launched the game.. What am i doing Wrong?

Other games should now be detected automatically instead of it just being Bethesda titles.

FOMOD And OMOD are now supported and should work.

Root Builder should work and is now ported over to disable the windows version of Root Builder. Its off by default so you will have to go to the settings and enabled it. It uses Reflink Copy and copy as a fallback and symlinks for the link mode.

INI creation should now work as intended and should no longer cause any issues when using use profile specific INIs. With INI recovery also supported.

You can now open an existing portable, instead of using a command in the instance switcher. As well as placing portable installs wherever you want at the end of it. Fluorine will continue to open the portable instance until you change it.

Added a better VFS recovery and mounting option in case the application crashes.

You can now also pick where you prefix goes, and installs too. Along with an improved fix game registries button.

Hi!

I'm having an issue with my new Acer XV240Y monitor. I was running Garuda Linux without any problems on a Janus monitor i had, but since I switched to the new monitor, everything feels slow—not just games, but the entire desktop experience..

My setup: MSI Cyborg 15 A12V, Intel Core i7, and RTX 4060 GPU. Does this have something to do with Nvidia drivers ? Any solutions? Thanks!

After this post removal https://www.reddit.com/r/linux\_gaming/s/bqWXpMKWSK (one of the biggest launches this year) and the mod comment about it not being “native”, this sub is just now 99% tech support then? With the occasional news about Mesa and Proton directly.

Respectfully mods, this is stupid. Are we really going back to the line of Proton isn’t Linux gaming now? That’ll really help Linux gaming adoption…

Distro and DE: CachyOS with KDE Plasma 6.5.5.
Launcher: HGL (Heroic Games Launcher) GOG Version.

Keyboard Wooting 60HE+ with ISO DE german layout.

So the issue is that the game somehow still assumes that I have a US/English layout where especially main keys like "y" and "z" are swapped on the ISO german layout compared to the US layout, hence why the german is also known as "qwertz" layout I believe.

What's weird: On the desktop my layout is beeing utilized correctly as the ISO DE german keyboard layout, even if I do not have a specific keyboard language set up in the keyboard settings section.

I've force the game's localization to be also "german" in HGL by setting up the prefered game language to "de". Also furthermore I've tried via Winetricks to force the german keyboard layout through the registryeditor under following path: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> keyboard layout and the file with it's name as simply "1" to put in the value for the german keyboard layout which is: "00000407".

And now I've exhausted all possible solution for this issue. I am really do not know any further what should I do, because just rebinding both keys isn't a ideal way or solution to me, I really want to get this fixed but I really do not how.

I hope someone might help me, thanks in advance guys :)

So in the new update supposedly they added FSR4 support, but I can't get it to appear in the menu with PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 in Steam, already tried deleting the prefix and creating it again.

With any other game, the Proton env var works just fine to get FSR4 so it shouldn't be a Proton/Mesa version problem, but here's the info: I tested it with Proton Experimental, Proton-GE 10.24 and 10.30; using Mesa 25.3.5 and Linux 6.18.9

Edit: And I set the game to use DirectX 12 (Beta)

So kinda a Weird Bug/Error which im unsure if its due to Lutris being Lutris but before i make a Report over at Github i thought itd just ask over here :D

Basically ive connected my GOG Account with Lutris, Installed TEW to my SSD and then boom Game gives me an Error when trying to boot XD
Weirdly enough it starts automatically in Full Screen just out of nowhere and after that Error appears :P

So yea is anything just wrong with my Lutris Flatpak or my Game Installs? >.>
Attached my Log here incase it is helpful somehow >.>
I cant really believe that its due to it not detecting Discord but you can never be sure sadly XD

Hi I am currently trying out different Distros to use for my Laptop for gaming and I don't know which to pick. I tried Ubuntu but there was a problem with the terminal so today I tried installing CachyOS but a blackscreen appeared after I installed it and I can't seem to fix it so now I wanna try an other 'gaming' Distro to use. I already have Fedora in mind but a few people said it's not that good and Arch is better but I think Arch is hard to Install so Arch isn't an option.
