I've found a website that has made some benchmarks comparing the performance of multiple games in Linux vs Windows for both NV and AMD. It is in Polish, but if you click on drop-down menu (- SPIS TREŚCI -) and select a title, you'll see the results for it that are 100% readable.

I've recently upgraded my hardware and thought i could finally play some games in the proper way on my machine. Everything is great(how about that raytracing?!) but i'm encountering issues with vsync turned on.

Most games can hit 600-6000 fps by default, which completely hammers my gpu. The obvious fix here is turning on vsync, however most games just can't keep up. As an example, i'm running Raft right now. With 60 fps. However when the camera moves around and it renders more complicated frames i'm seeing drops to 59-50. Turning off vsync however, it is pinned at a high framerate, however with tearing.

It is a very clear and distinct pattern on the GPU load graph , see picture.

Has anyone else encountered these issues?

Hey everyone, I did a little search and the last post about MMORPGs was a year ago. So I decided to make my own post.

My GF and I have been wanting to play an MMORPG together. The trick is I am on Linux hence this post. To make this extra quirky she really doesn't like any kind of combat and prefers to play support roles. She said she'd rather let me do the combat while she hangs back and helps me out in other ways like healing. Ideally the MMO lets her do all the things she wants to do such as dress up her character and collect cute stuff.

Also the controls should be relatively simple and intuitive to learn.

I should mention she has little experience in playing some Korean MMO whose name she can't remember. Meanwhile I've played a lot of WoW (but stopped due to lack of support for Linux and other issues when I did get it working such as getting into a cave and all NPCs including player model vanishing :D).

Any suggestions? Also we'll take other similar games too so long as they have a form of co-op for us to enjoy. So not strictly MMORPGs.

Thanks in advance.

I've been putting many hours into XDefiant through Bottles over the last couple days and it has been running excellent. Only issue I'm having is my settings (graphics/sound/etc) do not persist after I close the game. Every time I launch the game I have to turn down the volume and turn the graphics settings up again.

Furthermore, I cannot locate any config file for the game. I wanted to try changing the settings through the config files manually and also make sure the permissions on the files were correct, but they don't seem to exist at all. The Windows file path for the user data according to PCGamingWiki is%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\XDefiant\ but "My Games" does not exist in my bottles "Documents" directory at all .../drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/. I tried searching for the various config files by name from the root of the bottle, but none of them seem to exist anywhere.

Anyone know why this might be the case?

Does anybody have any recomendations for a good linux-compatible controller? I don't really have a preference for xbox-style or ps-style, though I would like to play both modern and retro games. It also needs to work with android (13) and linux (fedora atm but that'll provs change), and be proper wireless (like not a bluetooth dongle one)

I have been going around and around for weeks trying to just get this one goddamn game working. I see many people saying that proton "just works" with many older games. I have that installed. I also have Lutris and Heroic but everytime I hit the 'install' button in either application either the thing installs incorrectly or throws up a boat load of errors.

Right now I'm experimenting with Garuda but my main machine (a laptop) is Arch. I've been using linux since 2000 so I would have thought getting these old RPGs to work (IWD EE, Neverwinter Nights and another I'm forgetting) would be a cakewalk to get working. So far, on 4 different distros, I have failed everytime. I recognise the distros are not at fault but it's something to do with Lutris or Heroic or the installer scripts. What I don't know is how to fix it.

I have done my research to the best of my ability but the only guide I found was from a fellow who shows one how to make the original game with the Windows EXE functional through Lutris. That really doesn't help me much. Link to the video I found on Reddit to install the original IWD.

I bought my games through GOG a while ago and had them working on Windows just fine ... until Windows one day decided to commit suicide and be completely unrecoverable. With the coming of Win 11 I decided to throw in the towel on Windows thinking that getting this to work shouldn't be too hard. Ugh.

As an aside, when people say they use proton do most just mean having that set of applications (proton or protonge or proton-up) installed so other apps can use it in the background? I'm an old girl who really never got into gaming on Linux so this part is all new to me.

Any help or feedback is very welcome.

TF2c worked fine for me before the devs decided to have it rely on Steam's Proton. I'm on Ubuntu and everytime I try to play it says "Could not load library client. Try restarting. If that doesn't work, verify the cache." Steam recognizes them both since they show up in the library. I have tried literally every Proton for the source SDK 2013 multiplayer tool, and nothing works. Proton 8.0/9.0 doesn't even let TF2c run at all. I have been at this for weeks. If anyone's had a similar experience, help would be appreciated.

Okay, so I'm bad at computer stuff so I apologize in advance if I'm slow to understand, but my Steam client has been doing the thing where I open it and it's just a black screen. I read that updating steam or turning on Steam Beta participation fixes this, but I can't do those things if I can't see any of what is on the screen. Is there a way I can do either of this from the browser version or what? I just want to play metal gear

I finally got Lutris on my Chromebook Plus and running Fallout 3. It was running flawlessly when I accidentally hit a command that crashed it. I restarted the chromebook, went to run the game and I had to download it again. Now when I open it, it's running terribly. I can't seem to figure out what I did but should I just delete all data associated with the game and start over? And how do I do that?

I have an old game download file that works on Windows. I can get the game to run in Lutris, but my download has a file for a custom resolution that won't work in Lutris. Does anyone know how I can get my game to run in 1920x1080? Any help is greatly appreciated.

These are the files for a custom resolution that works in Windows

Guys, I'm thinking about migrating my entire Bottles library to winegui, I only use wine for games, but I'm having a lot of problems with bspwm because when opening a game the screen blinks, blinks, I turn the window to tiled and return it to fullscreen However, it often doesn't work. I've thought about creating a virtual desktop but it freezes when opening. I did a test on Warcraft 3 in wineGUI and it was like a glove, I clicked and it opened and I didn't have to touch the windows like in Bottles. My question is, is this migration worth doing?
