Probably asked a decent amount

What is a good Linux alternative to Cheat Engine/Art Money, just a simple little tool for gamers to enjoy a single player game the way they want. Looked at PINCE but the lead seems to not want people to think of it as a Cheat Engine alternative.

Poor performance with Sway and Nvidia, but fine with other WM

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. Februar 2026 - 01:15

Hello!

I've been fighting this for the last few days, and am running out of ideas and google-fu.

I'm running Fedora 43 with a 5070 and the nvidia drivers from rpmfusion. I'm having really bad performance when running games (so far tried X-Plane 12 and CS2). Both seem stuck around 10-20fps, and nvidia-smi show really low gpu usage (10-15%). I'm launching sway with --unsupported-gpu -D noscanout, and the following envvars set:

WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1 WLR_RENDERER=vulkan _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 XWAYLAND_NO_GLAMOR=1 QT_QPA_PLATFORM="wayland" QT_WAYLAND_DISABLE_WINDOWDECORATION=1 CLUTTER_BACKEND=wayland SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 GBM_BACKEND=nvidia-drm __GL_GSYNC_ALLOWED=0 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia VDPAU_DRIVER=nvidia NVD_BACKEND=direct

To get another datapoint, I tried two things:
- Installing the hyprland from the available copr repo
- Installing gamescope and launching the game through gamescope on sway

In both cases, performance is as expected with high gpu usage and around 100fps in x-plane.

I've tried setting allow_tearing on and adaptive_sync on for my main display, but I saw no difference.

Does anyone have any pointers or ideas? Am I better off just biting the bullet and trying a different wm?

Thanks!

CSGO 4:3 1920 x 1440 help?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. Februar 2026 - 01:12

So I’m trying to change my aspect ratio to 4:3 and the resolution to 1920 x 1440 in counter strike, but whenever I try it the game has a huge black bar only on the right side of the screen. I’m using Pop OS, my xdg session type is x11, and my gpu is a nvidia rtx 5070. Also, I have a innocn 240hz monitor. Does anyone know how to fix this? I’ve already tried looking in the nvidia settings within the CLI to change the scaling output, but there’s literally no option to change the scaling output.

steam proton compatibility layer latency

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. Februar 2026 - 01:12

so far ive only really noticed this in kovaaks(only game that gets high enough fps for latency to matter to me), which has native linux support, anyways, i notices my latency felt weird so i started checking if any settings were fucked and eventually on a whim i checked proton, and despite it originally having been off, it was on, turning it off fixed my latency issues

not really an issue as i fixed it, but it is weird

cachyos, not sure if this matters

System freezen when downloading games on Steam

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26. Februar 2026 - 21:50

System freezes when downloading games on Steam (Linux, AMD GPU)

Specs: - Distro: ZorinOS 18 (Ubuntu 24.04 base) - GPU: RX 7600 (amdgpu / RADV) - Kernel tested: 6.17 and 6.14 - NVMe SSD

Problem: When downloading games on Steam, at some point the system freezes. Terminal stops responding and sometimes shutdown doesn’t work. Already had a kernel panic once.

Logs: - amdgpu: Overdrive is enabled - EXT4 remounted read-only once after freeze

Notes: I use a mild undervolt that was stable before recent updates.

Question: Could this be amdgpu power / kernel regression / NVMe issue? Anyone seen freezes specifically during Steam downloads?

Anyone got Bodyslide and Outfit Studio working on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26. Februar 2026 - 21:46

I am heavily into Skyrim modding and have got most of the standard modding tools working under Linux. But I am having major issues with BodySlide and Outfit Studio, which is absolutely critical to my modding efforts.

When I start up Outfit Studio the render window is black and does not render the model that I have loaded. Everything else seems to be fine.

I have a 4090 and am currently using the 580.119.02 drivers. I've talked to Ousnius directly and they've stated that OpenGL 3.3 is used and it's probably a driver/OpenGL issue. I've tried the 590 drivers in CachyOS and run into the same issue. I am currently on Fedora 43.

Has anyone managed to make this work in Linux? I really, really don't want to go back to Microslop.

I want to switch from Windows to Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26. Februar 2026 - 21:34

Hello all. I’m sick and tired of using windows and I’ve really wanted to switch to Linux for the longest time now. My biggest issue however that’s holding me back is I do not know a good way to transfer all of my data from Windows to Linux. I have a lot of data (about a TB worth) not including games. I was wondering if there’s any methods anybody has used that works really well for transferring data?

Trying to run Diablo II on Faugus Launcher.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26. Februar 2026 - 20:49

I previously installed Freelancer and an HD mod on Faugus and it works great. I go to install D2 and when I launch the game it says:

Diablo II failed to run. Please make sure your Diablo II Expansion Disc is in your CD-ROM drive, then click on 'Retry'.

I'm using a DRM free installer with a key that does not require a CD. It has previously worked for me on Lutris but after a recent update neither game works for me there. So I would really like to get it working on Faugus. Any help is appreciated.

Is CloudOTP safe to use?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26. Februar 2026 - 20:03

Hello people,

for a long time I searched for a free and open-source software that lets me use OTPs via Linux.

Today I found CloudOTP which seems to be perfect for my case. The only thing that gives me some headache is that there are no posts about this software.

Does anyone has expierence with this software?

Link to the official Website: https://otp.cloudchewie.com/

Cheers.
