DualShock 4 Detection Issues in Shadow of the Tomb Raider via Heroic Games Launcher

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Sep 2025 - 4:49am

The "Survivor Trilogy" of Tomb Raider has been released in GOG, so i wanted to play those versions from GOG using Heroic Games Launcher.
Now, when playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider installed through Heroic Games Launcher, the DualShock 4 controller behaves inconsistently. Without any modifications, the game detects the controller and shows PlayStation button icons, but the analog sticks are misaligned (moving right acts like up, left acts like down, etc.).

Importing a Wine registry file to enable SDL fixes the stick behavior, but the game then detects two controllers simultaneously: one Xbox and one PlayStation. This causes the on-screen buttons to flicker between Xbox and PlayStation icons, and stick input occasionally freezes.

Does anyone know how could i fix this?

R2ModMan refuses to recognize steam executable

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Sep 2025 - 4:36am

Title. I've been trying to manually set the location of my steam executable in R2modman for a while now, but it refuses to give any of the ways I can open steam the time of day.

Desktop? Doesn't recognize it. usr/games/steam folder? Doesn't recognize it. I can't seem to find the executable it'll let me select for it to actually run mods in my games (specifically Peak, in this case), and it's really frustrating since every time I google something about it, it seems nobody's had the same issue. It won't let me select just a folder, either, it has to be the steam executable.

This might be a stupid question, I'm still really new to linux, but I don't know what to do at this point. I'm using the latest version of Linux Mint, and I've tried the appimage download and the deb download, and both have given me the same issue, plus every installation guide I've looked at just doesn't say anything about this problem. I've tried restarting my pc, reinstalling R2, adding R2 to my Steam games list even, just kinda hoping for a miracle.

Steam opens fine, R2 opens fine, and Peak opens fine. I also don't have a lot of faith that the Peak executable would be recognized, either, but I haven't tried yet.

SwayWM, RTX 5080, subpar framerates

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Sep 2025 - 1:22am

Is Sway just plain unusable with NVIDIA? Would LabWC work fine or should I just go right on back to x11/xlibre?

I'd prefer to not have to change all of my software back but I'd like to have my GPU I just dropped a G on work flawlessly.

Anyone get it to play nicely?

A way to safely compartmentalise files and game installations?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Sep 2025 - 12:39am

I've a whole lot of old games, but they are procured from questionable sources, (old websites, old torrents etc.) and with no modern windows defender to rely on, that for all its flaws would safely filter most of the 20+ year old unwanted surprises, I need a way to safely use the files and play the games.

I've not used virtual machines before, but from what I understand they might not be necessary, instead something like steam does on Linux, where it sections the installations off in their own directories that don't interact with anything else, might be enough for most cases? Or am I wrong about this?

What is the most secure and easiest to setup way to go about such a problem?

PS: I've also seen advice on the net mentioning avoiding storing anything unverified in the home folder in general, but then where do I install things like games I intend to use with WIne or Lutris, for example?
