The problem seems more apparent on Helldivers 2 which gamescope can help but not fix entirely. It is present in other games but not really as affected as in helldivers 2.

Please reply with any idea you have.

I recently switched to fedora on kde plasma and my performance on games has been 1/3 of other Linux distros, when I did a benchmark in sf4 it says my graphics adapter is an RX 6700 XT, I have integrated Intel hd530 graphics, is this an issue? And if so how can I fix it.

so when you launch xcom 2 on steam, you usually get asked if you want to play the vanilla game or the war of the chosen expansion, there's also selected launch options which let you launch wotc as the default when clicking play on steam.

however, the desktop version is the vanilla game, and when i use ulauncher it shows the vanilla game.

Recently switched my gaming pc over to linux. So far so good, except this issue with HDR in STALKER 2, which I did not experience in windows when using the same in-game settings.

When moving from inside a building to outside, the game does an exposure adjustment effect that kinda simulates your eyes adjusting to the light. During that time, the sky has these crazy trippy colors that are not supposed to be there. Is there some issue with HDR implementation in Linux?

Game's running through Proton Experimental with the following launch options: gamescope --force-grab-cursor -f -w 3440 -h 1440 -r 240 --hdr-enabled --hdr-debug-force-output --xwayland-count 2 -- env STEAM_MULTIPLE_XWAYLANDS=1 DXVK_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 mangohud %command%

I bought Assetto Corsa (looked fun, has VR support), which shows a Gold rating on Proton DB. Plenty of people report success, including those with my same OS (EndeavourOS) and some hardware similarities.

When I clicked play, the game wouldn't launch. I don't recall if it got stuck showing "running" or if it would go to running and then stop after a time. But, I tried Proton 10, Experimental, GE 9.20, and the latest GE 10.x.

I spent the whole night messing about, trying to get it to run without any luck. I've never encountered this annoying of an issue.

On a whim, as the last thing I did before bed, I booted up my laptop (same OS, more recent/less-bloated install), downloaded Steam, and then the game, and it simply launched with no fuss.

The current state on my PC is that I click play and it shows as running, and stays that way until I force kill the game. Below is a snippet from ps aux, which shows that the game is running, by some definition, but nothing is happening.

I have no clear steps forward. I don't have issues with other games to my knowledge. My setup shouldn't be too cursed. Not to mention, Steam is like, containerized I think? Or at least, it ships all its own dependencies like a flatpak/snap. Proton as well, I'm using the same version(s) between devices, so it shouldn't be a Proton issue. The only manifest difference should be my installed packages/system config, but I have no idea what to do, to go about figuring out the issue.

Hello r/linux_gaming community. I humbly ask for your help in troubleshooting my texture problem with Total War Warhammer III.

This problem has affected me on both Fedora Workstation 44 and CachyOS. The problem is isolated to the Linux-native version of the game. The Windows/Proton version of the game works decently but I would prefer the Linux-native version if possible.

The problem is related to textures on the campaign map. All textures that do not have any animation/particle effects in front of them are blacked out. Please see posted image for reference. This results in the majority of the screen being blacked out. This problem is present on all graphics quality settings spanning from Low to Ultra. Disabling shadows and other effects does not rectify the problem.

My hardware: Intel i7-14700F, Nvidia RTX 5070, 32GB RAM, 2TB M.2 SSD.

So far I have tried:

• Verifying my video card drivers are correctly installed.
• Verifying that Total War Warhammer III is using the correct GPU.
• Verifying the integrity of my game files using Steam's function to do so.
• Fully uninstalling and reinstalling the game.
• Fully uninstalling and reinstalling Steam.
• Entirely new OS with new Steam and new game download.

Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide.

As you can see the default cachyos proton version is installed (indicated by checkmark)

I just switched over to CachyOS after using Arch and its great but the interaction between ProtonPlus and Steam has been all kinds of jank. ProtonPlus doesn't detect that I have the CachyOS version of proton already installed on the system and when I click on the "Installed" tab it comes up empty. I'm just thinking about deleting proton-cachyos-slr from the cachyos repository and just using the latest build from inside of ProtonPlus because it is not working at all. Cyberpunk 2077 wont even launch using pretty basic Steam launch options: PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 DXVK_HDR=1 SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_IGNORE_DEVICES=0x28de/0x11ff gamemoderun %command% --launcher-skip --skipstartScreen

Everything else about CachyOS has been great but this is an issue that a gaming focused distro should definitely look into. Maybe it's not even cachyos's fault it could just be that ProtonPlus isn't checking the system for already installed versions of proton and then Steam refuses to launch since the compatibility tool "isn't there". It just feels wrong to have to delete Cachy's official proton package from their official repo and have to use a third party app to make it work in Steam.

A little bit of context:

I tried installing the sims normally through steam, but I couldn't get it to install without Electronic arts giving me an error. Then I tried lutris and this and that. I finally got it to work through the fitgirl repacks exe, but now I can't change the language. I created a new drive? L:\ for it and other games. I edited some files, but I don't know if I got the place right. This is the path to the game repository on steam /home/rain89/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/The Sims 4. I tried 2 things:

1. I tried to use the change language exe like it was explained in the instructions(I put it in steam and used proton experimental, same for sims, but it just selected englishnormally and didnothing), but nothing happened, no matter which language I selected. It's still russian.

2. Stupidly, I tried to name the ACTUAL russian language pack the english ones name and vice versa. I'm pretty sure I editied the wrong files. I went here /home/rain89/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/The Sims 4/Language Changer (I undid it just now).

Is my only option to reinstall it? I'm pretty sure I choose english on setup.

My OS is linux mint newest (zena), latest wine that's giving me complications, proton exerimental. My gpu is nvidia rtx 4060(or 50), my cpu is amd ryzen 7something.But I doubt they're that important for this.

Hi!

I just built a new PC. I'm running Mint 23.3 with Kernel 6.17 and Mesa 25. Also, my components are a Ryzen 7 9800 X3D and a Powercolor Hellhound RX 9070 XT.

I was having trouble redeeming an AMD Rewards promotion code, because the pvt.sh didn't recognized my GPU, even when the system did.

So, after a couple of hours of research, turns out all I had to do was update the PCI data:

sudo update-pciids

and then:

lspci | grep VGA

Guess the RX 9070 XT is still "new" enough to show as default (1002:7550). Thanks to this, the GPU was verified and I was able to redeem Crimson Desert.

Hope this helps someone with the same trouble.

Not sure if there was a steam update for the Steam Controller 2 or if it's something on my end, but I'm able to open the overlay / use steam input with HDR + wayland enabled (PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1). Shift + Tab does nothing, but the guide button on my PS5 controller opens the overlay and any changes I make are reflected in game. Can anyone else confirm this is working for them?

I'm on NixOS and Hyprland.
