I'm making this post in hopes that it may help someone that also has this issue.

Issue

Steam is downloading slowly on linux compared to windows, for me windows was downloading around 60 MB/s and linux was around 40 MB/s.

Old Fix

First off, if you haven't tried it already there's an older fix that has supposedly been fixed by valve but it might be worth a shot

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/10248#issuecomment-2227480079

Here's what actually fixed it for me

credit to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/12082

1 - Start downloading a game in steam

2 - Open the steam console by entering steam://open/console into the url bar of your browser

3 - Run download_sources in the console and scroll to the section that says "Download Jobs:". If there are not many download jobs listed this is the problem. Mine was showing just 2 download jobs

Download jobs: - type SteamCache, name cache1-msp-mice.steamcontent.com, iteration 1, chunks: index 1666, 0 outstanding (0 bytes), 869 deferred, 797 requested, 797 succeeded, 0 failed. 16.5 MB/s - type SteamCache, name cache2-msp-mice.steamcontent.com, iteration 1, chunks: index 1528, 0 outstanding (0 bytes), 730 deferred, 798 requested, 798 succeeded, 0 failed. 15.2 MB/s

Make note of the urls listed here, mine were cache1-msp-mice.steamcontent.com. and cache2-msp-mice.steamcontent.com. Yours may be different

4 - Pause the game download

5 - In order to get steam to use more download sources you can block these urls by adding some lines in your /etc/hosts file like this:

# Block specific steam servers 127.0.0.1 cache1-msp-mice.steamcontent.com 127.0.0.1 cache2-msp-mice.steamcontent.com

Make sure to use the urls that you saw after running download_sources

6 - Resume the game download and wait a bit, it will show 0 MB/s for a while but then it will find new servers.

After this change, steam was connecting to 16 servers instead of 2 and my download speed was matching or exceeding windows.

Any tweaks I may need to implement for it to run okay? I haven't purchased it yet. Wondering if it's worth it if I only run Linux?

I need some help to get this game working again with FSR4. I believe something has changed after my last full system update, because my launch options remain the same. But I'm not sure actually, because other FSR4 games work with no problem. I am using this env variable.

PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1

I also attached the output from inxi -G on CachyOS

What it says on the tin. Audio stuttering, crackling, and often ends up so latent that it ends up being seconds behind in Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST. Every single other game in the MCC, including the more performance-heavy ones, works fine, and other, more performance-heavy games are working fine on my system as well without any audio latency or crackling.

I just finished figuring out how to get RuneScape 3 and OSRS (via RuneLite) running on a fresh CachyOS install. Posting the full process here in case it helps someone else.

This runs both clients natively, so no WINE.

1. Update Your System sudo pacman -Syuw 2. Install Paru (AUR Helper) sudo pacman -S paru 3. Install Bolt Launcher paru -S bolt-launcher

Review the PKGBUILD and complete the install.

4. Install GTK2 Runtime

RuneScape still depends on GTK2.

paru -S gtk2 5. Install OpenSSL 1.1

The RS3 client requires legacy OpenSSL 1.1 (libcrypto.so.1.1).

paru -S openssl-1.1

Accept the SSL keys when prompted.
This takes a while because it compiles the whole OpenSSL 1.1 toolchain locally.

If you previously saw:

error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1

This step fixes it.

6. (Optional) Install Java for OSRS via RuneLite

If you want to play OSRS using RuneLite:

paru -S jre-openjdk Launching

1. Open Bolt Launcher
2. Log in
3. Click Play

RuneScape 3 and RuneLite work under Wayland

No special launch flags required. At one point, you would have had to add the launch flags for RS3, which were "SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%", but it's unnecessary on a current CachyOS install running KDE Plasma, and probably most other Arch flavors. I'm not sure if it's just automatically using xWayland, but it might be. Regardless, it doesn't need launch options set anymore.

OSRS via RuneLite works natively Official OSRS client still requires Wine + umu-launcher

I can't be asked to figure out the install for this right now, as just installing WINE and umu-launcher with nothing else isn't good enough and it'll just hang at "game launch status: 'OK'"

Summary of Required Packages

• bolt-launcher
• gtk2
• openssl-1.1
• jre-openjdk (for RuneLite)

Hopefully this saves someone some time. Arch-based distros don't seem to ship these libraries by default, so it took a bit of trial and error to figure out the exact things to install to get it all going. If anyone wants to add the steps for getting Bolt to launch the official OSRS client, that would be cool. RuneLite works great though and is non-WINE.

Every other game I have tried runs on my main GPU (RX 6800) and renders on my main monitor, but for some reason, all source games (Half Life 2 for example) render on my main monitor, but run on my secondary GPU (RX 560) that I only use for my secondary monitor. it results in my game running from between 20-50 FPS. I have tried my versions of Proton, used safe mode, and disabled Vulkan.

Eu estou tendo um problema sério com estresse e ansiedade nos últimos 3/4 anos, tanto por questões pessoais, quanto por demandas excessivas.

O problema é que com isso, por algum motivo, estive sofrendo com muita dificuldade em encontrar jogos que eu consiga jogar por mais que 2 dias sem cansar e preferir fazer outra coisa por não conseguir focar nisso.

Os últimos jogos que eu joguei e consegui evoluir até zerar ou quase isso, foi Super Mario Odyssey, Celeste, e Genshin Impact (esse último em específico me atraiu muito pelos gráficos e fluidez de jogabilidade, algo que era bem relaxante nos momentos de estresse, mas desanimei pelo sistema de gacha).

Queria que me recomendassem jogos para um recomeço como gamer, pois sinto muita falta disso. Pode ser literalmente qualquer jogo, desde jogos de pc até jogos de console via emulador, aceito qualquer sugestão. Adoraria explorar opções que possam me trazer o brilho e satisfação que eu tinha tempos atrás ao zerar um jogo, ou ao menos evoluir nele.

Been troubleshooting this for days, so any help is genuinely appreciated. (for additional context, I’m no Linux pro and have heavily relied on AI to troubleshoot this far. It’s a double edged sword, I know)

I picked up a heavily abused ASUS TUF A16 and I’m trying to give it new life as a custom HTPC build running outside its original chassis — no internal display, keyboard, trackpad, or battery connected, just the motherboard (Ryzen 7 7735HS + RX 7600S) powered through the original barrel jack.

The problem: Bazzite’s live ISO boots flawlessly with full display output, but after installing, I get absolutely nothing — no signal on HDMI or USB-C on first boot or any subsequent boot.

What I’ve tried:

∙ Multiple kernel parameters in ostree-1.conf (video=eDP-1:d, amdgpu.dc=1, nomodeset)

∙ Both laptop and desktop/HTPC Bazzite ISOs

∙ Two different monitors via HDMI, plus USB-C to HDMI

∙ SSH via onboard ethernet and a USB ethernet adapter — no connection on installed system either

What I’ve ruled out: I installed Fedora 43 on the same drive and it boots and displays perfectly with no special kernel parameters whatsoever. The amdgpu driver loads correctly, Wayland works, no issues at all. I also confirmed via Fedora that display output is running through the discrete RX 7600S (HDMI-A-1), not the iGPU — so both Fedora and Bazzite should theoretically be using the same GPU for output.

This points to something specific in how Bazzite initializes the GPU or display manager rather than a kernel version or hardware issue.

My question: Is there a known difference in how Bazzite handles GPU or display manager initialization compared to stock Fedora that could cause this? Could something in Bazzite’s ostree deployment or Steam Gaming Mode initialization be the culprit when there’s no internal display detected? Any way to debug or force display output from outside via the live ISO?

Worth noting: I also haven’t been able to get into the BIOS through normal methods.

Well, the speed at which the platforms such as Proton, Lutris, Steam OS, Zen based kernels etc. have grown in the past few years, do you believe that Linux is going to be the first choice of gamers in the future, maybe in upcoming 5 years?

Any hopes for surpassing Windows purely for gaming in future?

I am not considering productivity apps such as microslop suite etc, but in gaming world is it possible to actually replace windows in upcoming 5 years down the line?

Hello all,

Have a steam deck that I used to stream utilizing steam remote play on a variety of games from a PC running Fedora with Gnome. Got a new monitor and wanted HDR enabled so did a fresh install of Fedora 43, with KDE 6.6 (wayland).

Getting frustrated as the easy experience of steam remote play doesn't work with most more demanding games that I would actually want to stream rather than install locally on the steam deck. Most games are giving an instant "bad connection" symbol on the steam deck or a black screen (even after accepting remote client on host). On top of it, I am able to control the game on the host PC display using the steam deck as a controller but nothing displays to the steam deck. Some examples below, these all launch on the host PC perfectly fine;

• Doom Dark Ages
• Baldur's Gate 3
• Phantasy Star Online 2: NGS

The list goes on and on. Tried to do Moonlight/Sunshine and while these worked, I find the lack of the steam deck controls/profiles very frustrating (maybe I missed something to set these up?) I've messed around with all of the hardware encoding/decoding options on host and client for remote play and just cannot get a solution.

Host PC specs/info if it helps;

Operating System: Fedora Linux 43

KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.0

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.23.0

Qt Version: 6.10.1

Kernel Version: 6.18.12-200.fc43.x86_64 (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 8-Core Processor

Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (30.5 GiB usable) - DDR5

Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon RX 9070

Graphics Processor 2: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 8-Core Processor

Please help me oh my god I'm losing my marbles (I'm also on Linux Mint if that's of any help)

Alright so basically, I got a game from online, but it's not a steam game so I had to add it as a non steam game.

It required a setup. That's ok, it went through perfectly fine. But the game downloads, and it runs perfectly fine, but I realize I accidentally made the setup the steam game and never directed where the actual game would go, and In the process had probably downloaded the actual game several times (I am not smart.)

But now I want to both delete these copies and also properly link the game to steam, but no matter what I do I can't find the downloaded games?? The setups still on my PC but every time I launch it it just asks me to download the game again EXCEPT I KNOW THE GAMES ARE ON MY PC BECAUSE THE STORAGE IS GETTING SMALLER EVERY TIME I IT ASKS

WHERE ARE THEY GOING? Its not steam, cause I haven't put them in yet, and it's not in the game section either. Wtf?

Oh, also I forgot to mention, I did get another game from the same source that did work, with some standard tinkering, but it also Didint have a setup, it launched directly. But I also can't find where it actually downloaded to, so now I'm vexed.

Hello all,

I am a complete newbie to linux (on CachyOS) and wanted to know if anyone had a current step by step guide on how to install Bloodborne on Linux?

A lot of the instructions are older and links are all dead and then seem to be predominantly Windows installs as well, for obvious reasons.

I have the game & the emulator, but I am not sure how to extract the PKG in Linux. The instructions I have seen recommends using BB Launcher but I am not sure how to install that either. I'm pretty lost to any help would be appreciated.
