Been fiddling around with this one for about three hours now. On Arch Linux and trying to get either of these two controllers to work since my DualSense is on the fritz due to stick drift. The best I've managed is the Pro Controller just randomly started working after I installed joycond (I didn't even open it), though Proton couldn't funnel the inputs through. Steam would see the controller and could see every button being pressed, but no game could see it. After a reboot, it quit working and I cannot reproduce for the life of me what it was that caused this to work for that bit.

The Steam Controller is detected and seen by Steam, but has this same issue of not having inputs detected at all. The Steam Controller is not detected at all by any program other than SC-Controller, which I was trying to use in a desperate attempt to get either this Pro Controller or the Steam Controller working. The Steam Controller is seen by the program and when I press the Steam button on the controller, the menus all pop up just fine, though there is no output to any program. Same occurred with the Pro Controller during the one boot that it was working, though after it quit working, SC-Controller doesn't see it at all anymore.

I have game-devices-udev installed and am using KDE Plasma as my DE if it helps any bit.

I just can't possibly figure out what this issue could be. I know controller support for anything that isn't Xbox, Sony or 8bitdo can be spotty, but I've seen posts corroborating that these two controllers should at least work.

Hey guys,

I am having problems with playing Star Wars Battlefront 2 on Steam. The installation was flawless, but I cant start it, because that garbage EA app always crashes on me. It would be my first time playing it, since I am on Linux.

CPU: AMD 7800X3D

GPU: 7900XTX

Kernel: 6.15.2-2-cachyos

Steam Native

Original comment: I should be more clear: When starting the game, it launches the EA App (Installation menu) and the EA throws an error code at me and the installation of the app failes. This is the error code: INST-14-1603

Update 1: I managed to start it, by using a proton version 7´ish
Update 2: After that, I did some graphical changes and also switched to DX12. This led to the game, not starting anymore at all. The EA app always crashed.
Update 3: After several re-installs and leaving DX12 alone, I managed to start the game a couple of times with the cachy-os proton version.
Update 4: Now, all of sudden, I (again) cant start it anymore. The bs EA app is crashing every time. I even install the GE proton version 10.4 and it is just the same.

Anyone with the same issues? How did you fix it?

I'm ready to take the plunge, tired of Windows and I only play games that work on my steam deck anyways so I know they work inside the Linux environment.

Here's my issue, I have a 2tb m.2 drive and a 1tb m.2 drive. Windows is on my 2tb drive, the secondary 1tb drive has no OS but it's filled with games. Both drives are filled to the brim. My question is if this is possible: Have two 2tb drives installed on my system (replace the 1tb drive). One with Linux and one with Windows. Can I boot from Linux, access the other drive with Windows, snag the files I want, and format that Windows drive? I assume the 1tb drive without an OS can be easily found without issue but I'm confused on the Windows one.

I have been trying to get it working for quite a long time now. When running through plain proton if I run borderless the mouse escapes the window, if I run fullscreen proton won't stop minimizing when I switch to a window on my second desktop to do something real quick which I find really irritating and leads to crashes eventually. If anyone knows how to stop proton from minimizing that would solve all my issues but I have not found a solution over literal years of searching. And no, enabling the WINE desktop mode does not work, proton just shows a black screen or crashes.

Usually I would use gamescope but it has been broken for about a year now and the "fix" always seems to be "coming in the next update" according to bug reports but it never does. When running in gamescope it seems to work fine, for about 2 minutes then locks up. Proton logs don't show what is happening, it thinks the game is running fine so the problem is in gamescope. I used to be able to use gamescope-legacy but even that stopped working. Gamescope-nvidia from the AUR does not resolve the issue either. Gamescope works for 99% of my games, only Fallout 4 and 76 are the ones with issues.

I am running Manjaro. I know, I really shouldn't but I don't want to put the time and effort into building arch from scratch only for it to have the same issues. I have tried XFCE, OpenBox, and even wayland using labwc. All result in the same issue.

I don't know if it is my issue is my kernel, Nvidia driver version, my WM/DE, or just my GPU series having a weird bug. If anyone has a setup that works, please let me know the versions of these that you are using so I can look for a new distro that might help me resolve this. Or if you know of a gamescope version that I can compile that works that would be amazing.

Hi, I got confused bit lately with Mesa and wonder if that would work.

Problem: I have windows machine with installed Radeon driver, this driver is supporting range of their GPU
E.G. I do have 3 cards, RX 580, R5 330, R9 Nano
AMD recommend Adrenalin 22.6.1 (WHQL) driver where all cards these are supported.
Now if I'll remove R5 and add brand new RX 9060 XT to the pool I o need to install Adrenalin 25.6.1 that do not support older 580 and Nano.

According to Mesa Radeon list all 3 are supported (?) https://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/
RX 580 - Polaris 20
R9 Nano - Fiji
RX 9060 XT - Navi 44

Question: So by using latest Mesa I'll be able to run all 3?

I've tried Proton 9.0-4, 8.0-5, GE10-4, Experimental, and Hotfix.

Without fail, I get the ACO title card, then a minute or two later, it opens another window that captures my mouse (have to Alt+tab) but is just a black screen.

I left this running overnight (6+ hours) and managed to make it to the health warning, and the Ubisoft animation. I never made it to the title screen.

When do I get to press play?

Edit: I'm on Steam, and here is my system info:

OS: Linux Mint 22.1

KERNEL: 6.8.0-60-generic

CPU: 13th Gen Intel Core i5-13600KF

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080

GPU DRIVER: NVIDIA 570.133.07

RAM: 32 GB

I have an old linux machine for my daily driver at home. It works great. I'm wondering if there are any good turn-based games (I am an old person) I can play with remote friends, some of whom have health problems, so nothing twitchy. I am laid up in bed with a post-surgical complication for a few days. Thanks.

I'm new to linux, started using Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS a few months ago. I'm booting the game through Steam using the family library sharing feature.

Tenna's intro fails to play the associated movie file, video or audio. The game does not crash, but it does zoom through the movie's subtitles too fast to read. (I had to be told to youtube the intro, or else I would have thought that the hyperspeed text was just the joke.)

I was given the suggestion to right click the game in my steam library and go to Properties > Compatibility > Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool > Proton Hotfix. This didn't fix it. I tried Proton Hotfix, Experimental, and 10.0-1 Beta.

I was also suggested to install an h.264 codec. This also did not fix it.

Do yall have any other suggestions? This issue is tedious to test since I have to sit through the game takes a long time to boot (might also be a compatibility issue), and I have to sit through the long walk through the cliffs and Ralsei's cutscene every time.

I was going to post this to /r/Deltarune but they have an absurd 5000 karma requirement to post new threads right now...

I know the site said It's only officially supported on Legion Go S, but I've seen a good amount of videos of people running it on desktops. And it looks nice and smooth compared to windows.
