Valve just launched the latest exciting upgrade for Proton Experimental, to ensure as many Windows games as possible run well on Linux / SteamOS machines.

I definitely feel an input lag on any Wayland DE (KDE, xfce Wayland, Niri). The issue also persists when I use gamescope (for the custom resolution in Albion Online). I can swing my mouse right and left, then focus on the game and immediately feel it being less responsive. Doesn't matter if I use -r arg or not.

So the topic... Do you feel your cursor being less responsive when using Gamescope? Please share your distro, DE and GPU as well.

I have a noticeable input lag when using Gamescope. Playable for my scenario, would be unplayable for an FPS game. Arch Linux, xfce (X11), RX570.

Weird issue I've been having: Microstutters that don't show up on any recording or fps counter.

Here's an extreme example with osu!: https://streamable.com/48vnpf
During this clip the game froze for a fraction of a second, but it doesn't show up on video. Note the perfect 1ms frametime graph. Makes me feel like I'm going insane.

Things I've tried:
- Changing codecs
- Changing the source from "monitor" to "portal" or "region"
- Changing quality settings, including framerate, bitrate etc.

PC specs (though osu! locks at 1000fps on basically any machine):
- RX 9070XT
- Ryzen 5 7500F
- 32gb ddr5 @ 5600MHz
- Up to date EndeavourOS, KDE plasma

Any help or ideas appreciated.

Steam controller keeps asking for permissions every time I try to use the mouse, virtual keyboard or copy paste. I pressed the toggle to allow it on the game controller menu, idk what else to do. I want it to stop asking and just do it

Hi everyone!

New on Linux. I already update Nvidia Drivers and everything looks normal but once I try to open Portal, it gets slow since the first Valve intro, and in the moment the menu background shows, it closes.

I try using Proton 9.0-4, 10.0-4 and experimental, but nothing. Any ideas?

Specs: RTX 3070 ti, Intel i5 9400, 1TB HDD,

And this are the drivers I have installed

Didn't find much information on setup used and the video itself is pretty blurry

been using standard proton for most things but keep hearing ge fixes specific games, curious if people just default to ge for everything or only swap when something breaks

I’ve been actively trying to make all of my friends to at least give ANY distro of their liking a try. Two converted and are never going back, one simply can’t because they play Rust and one is vastly misinformed thinking that Linux is all konsole commands. Overall from what I’ve seen many are “held hostage” by a game/games they play.

What stops your friends?

Just bought the game by the way. I’ve tried SEVERAL wine and proton versions. I was told that a PIRATED VERSION, works without issues because these issues even extend to windows too.

Hi everyone

I'm having this issue running World of Warcraft on Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS x86_64 (COSMIC). I'm launching Battle.net through Steam as a non-Steam game and using GE-Proton10-34.

The game runs fine overall, but whenever I try to change any graphics setting and click "Apply", the game window immediately closes but the audio keeps playing in the background and the process is still running, so I have to kill it manually from the terminal. When I launch the game again, none of the graphics changes were saved.

This only happens with graphics settings. Sound settings can be changed normally without any issues. The thing is when it have to restart the game

Any ideas?? I've tried everything :::::::::(

On Windows, in some of my older games (and a few newer ones), the game forces VSYNC ON with no option to disable it in-game. This causes noticeable input latency in some games with poor vsync implementations.

I was able to completely fix the input latency on Windows by disabling VSYNC through the NVIDIA Control Panel, setting an ASYNC/FRONTSYNC 60 fps cap in Rivatuner, and disabling full-screen optimizations (FSO). The results were near-zero input latency and no tearing at 60 FPS with my GSYNC monitor.

I was wondering if this fix would also be possible on something like SteamOS? I know Wayland has built-in VSYNC, but it operates differently from how Windows handles it. I also know MangoJuice might be an option for the FPS cap, but I am still trying to put it all together.

Thank you!

Hey guys, I picked up a acer SB240Y G0bi 23.8" 75hz monitor, and in the marketing it says that it can be overclocked to 120hz. Now I obviously want to do this (free frames are always awesome) buuuuuut I have no clue on how to overclock a monitor. I did research, and windows is super easy, you just need the custom GPU software and crank up the frames. But I can find NOTHING about Linux. Actually, I did find a single 9y old reddit thread with someone walking to someone else how to do it but they didn't speak very good English, and the info is probably outdated. I have KDE plasma on Debian. Any help appreciated!

Hello yall, i recently (3 days ago) made the switch from windows to zorin os on my lenovo legion 5 pro (4070, i9-13900HX, 32gb 5600mhz ram). I have been troubleshooting ever since.

When i use nvidia on-demand mode (the nvidia x server app), minecraft runs, but the fps is garbage in most games (even tho they are utilizing the 4070, not the iGPU). When i use the performance mode every game that does run, runs flawlessly. Minecraft however - does not run.

The astounding minecraft window!

Whats shown in the image is all i get, although the game does load and is responsive (I can hear the GUI when clicking blindly). All i ever see is fragments of my screen. Im using the latest nvidia drivers - 595.58.03 on X11

I've been troubleshooting with gemini for hours - its now just going in circles with the same recommendations.

What i tried so far:

Resizing the window, going to fullscreen

in the nvidia app: sync to VBlank on/off, allow flipping on/off

in the prism launcher: GLFW on/off, Feral GameMode on/off, use discrete GPU on/off, use Zink on/off, custom wrapper command: env __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia, java argument: -Dglfw.vulkan=false

I also tried using wayland but that was a straight up mess.

Another symptom of this issue might be that my text is flickering as im typing this (This happens system wide, not just in the browser). Maybe its unrelated idk.

Some combinations of prism options resulted in a crash but nothing i did made an actual difference. Im fine with either making all games run properly in on-demand (like spiderman remastered does for some reason) or make minecraft run in performance mode.

I really dont wanna come crawling back to microslop, but im so desperate at this point, i have not been able to use my laptop since i switched - just troubleshoot, cause 2 problems by fixing 1, sleep, repeat. Thanks for any replies!
