Hi,

I have been wanting to play skylanders trap team again but this time on my pc for better performance.

so I have been messing around for hours trying to find a way to make my physical portal work in dolphin so that I can use my real skylanders but it keeps giving me this error thing.

I was hoping someone could help me

(I am running fedora KDE)

ProtonUp-Qt: v2.14.0 released https://playingtux.com/articles/protonup-qt-v2140-released?lang=en #Linux #Gaming #LinuxGaming

Firstly the machine specs:

• AMD Ryzen 5950x CPU
• 32GB RAM, think it's Corsaire Vengeance, nothing special, 4 sticks of 8gb Dual Channel
• Asus RTX 3060 12GB OC,
  • tried many driver versions, 550+ both open, and proprietary
  • currently on 580 open
• Mint 22.2, Cinnamon 6.4.8, Linux Kernel 6.8.0-83, although this has been happening since I started using Linux, at least since Mint 22.1, so versions not really important.
• Vsync/Sync To Blank off in OS and games, glxgears runs at around 25k fps
• Disabled Compositing for full screen apps
• Played about with and without shader precaching
• Happens with both native and proton games

Yes I went all in on the CPU, I got it cheap and wanted to push my AM4 board for a bit longer.

The problem:

I have always had this problem, and it is so minor I could not be bothered to look too deep into it, but have some spare time so decided to have a look into it.

I have been using Linux for gaming on and off for about a year, maybe longer. Kept dipping into it, then if I got stuck, going back to Windows for a bit. However, I am clearing my backlog and decided to also see how many games I can actually play on Linux. It's going rather well. 12 games down about 4 unable to play.

When I first start any game, the frame rate is choppy at best, almost unplayable. When displaying FPS in the steam overlay, it shows my max FPS is in the thousands, and my 1% lows are in the toilet, around 10-15FPS.

Average is game dependent, but if the game is FPS limited, it will sit at the FPS limit rate.

If I stop the game and immediately restart it, the Max, Min and Average FPS is stable and will remain so for the remainder of the session.

For example, Dead Space 2 is locked at 60FPS, first start up Max is around 3km Min is around 15 and Average is 60, so that Min is doing a lot of the work dragging it down to 60. Stop and start the game, Max is 60-63, Min is 57-60, average is 60 from then on. Same happens on Dead Space 1, Dead Island and the Dark Souls games. Yes I'm on D right now :D .

Games without fixed FPS is a bit trickier to nail down. Cyberpunk initial start up it runs around max 700, min 10 average about 70, once again that Min is doing a lot of work, then after a restart its max 130 min 56, average 75-85.

It is almost as if that first startup is training the system, but I would have thought it should be able to do that on the fly and rectify itself without restarting the game.

It does also behave this way if I have Vsync/Sync to Blank enabled too, and full screen Compositing does not seem to affect it either.

I am not overly concerned about it, but if anyone has any ideas what could be causing, or just curious enough to want to investigate with me, it would be terribly helpful. Tech savvy and up for experimentation, although I would rather prefer to stay away from compiling kernels if I can.

Have a few vids as evidence I can stick on YouTube if it would help visualise it better.

Update :

does not seem to happen to Silent Hill 2 with the Enhanced Edition mod (not the remake). That runs at around very stable 60 out of the gate.

my laptap is a thinkpad 14e without a discrete graphics card,when i run my win11,it will be very slow,even cant play the minecraft,so i install the ubuntu on my laptop.What surprised me was the speed of MC running on Linux, because on Win11 my MC only had 8 frames, while on Linux it ran to 100 frames.I saw that the performance of playing MC could be improved so much, so why don’t I download a steam to play the games in my library, so I downloaded a steam, but problems also appeared.

the first problem is,i do not have enough storage space，because when i install the linux,i only allocated 70g to it,now the system has only 10g of free space, so I need to expand the Linux.So I return to win11 and use the disk control to make 200g unallocated space.Then I use the bootable usb drive to enter the ubuntu live environment.Which tool I use is the gparted,this can put the ext4 on the 200g unallocated space,making the linux can recognize the 200g space. Then the problem become to how can I use the 200g?

My solution is to mount the 200g space to my home directory,it's safe and eazy.I use the blkls and memory the uuid of my new "disk",to make it automatically i use the instruction sudo nvim /etc/fstab

then put my uuid on the bottom of it,the instruction like :

UUID=f0e1d2c3-b4a5-6789-0abc-def123456789 /data ext4 defaults 0 2

ok,we have enlarged the space,then the most awosome comes,we need to add this new hard drive to the steam library folder,this is also the step that gives me the most headaches. I have been looking for strategies on the Internet for a long time,because when I try to add it directly in steam, it always prompts me that there is a disk write error

After looking for strategies,I finally find the problem the makes disk write error,the steam I installed in my home directory could not directly recognize the new space I mounted, so I created a soft link in my home directory pointing to my new space.

Finally, I succeeded! I successfully made steam recognize my new mount space！Now I can play freely the factorio,stardew valley,terraria and the dont starve together,yoho!

Any way to change this behavior? It’s just I have to move it to the center or away to get the menu bar of the game to disappear every time I launch it. I already tried grab cursor command but nothing.

Yes, it‘s about BG3.

How do I enable the Steam Overlay manually, if the game isn‘t detected automatically?

i can only find 2-1 year old posts about it so i want to ask again i’ve tried to get it working on lutrix but it doesn’t launch what specific wine version should i use if it does work? im a bit skeptical of “the certain launcher” for this game so i want to try getting it to work on the official launcher first

genshin works with no problems but idk i’ve heard star rail might not work so well

Anyone having this same issue? right after finishing the power plant mission I get into the car, drive a bit back to town and it freezes if I do anything after some time, either on combat, inside the car, running arround, it doesnt last 2 minutes before it freezes and the audio also gets stuck in time.

I am running it with proton experimental through steam (already tried diferent version, GE proton with faugus launcher, same results), dx12 (dx11 wont let me start the game), no other launching arguments. The game was working just fine for hours till this happens. Could it be the need for the new nvidia drivers? 581 is still not available for linux. There are no background programs, recording nor streaming going on while playing etc.

Balatro started another clear trend in gaming, with multiple games spawning like it and CHARK seems like it could end up being a real gem.

Set in some sort of post-apocalypse with various robotic animals, OVIS LOOP is a tale of sheep versus wolves and it's a genuine delight.

Hi all,

I'm a noob to linux and recently figured out how to run Linux Mint in Wayland.

Since I booted in Wayland, I've noticed better performance in my games, however I've run into a couple of issues that I'm struggling to get my head around and was hoping someone could please assist?

I run World of Tanks through Lutris, and for some reason the mouse cursor will not stick to the window of the game, in fullscreen or borderless mode. If I try to look to my right, the mouse will appear on my secondary monitor and the game will lose focus.

I found people suggesting gamemode and steam overlay for this problem but these did not resolve the issue for me.

The other weird issue is less of a problem but perhaps a symptom, I now have a window for Lutris' Wine System Tray, when that used to appear in my standard system tray. Just curious if this means anything?

Also my monitors seem a bit messed up, I've set my landscape monitor as my primary but all of my desktop icons are still on my secondary monitor, as well as my panels for each screen being reversed.

Anyways thanks for reading

Creepy stuff. It Has My Face makes you seek out your clone amongst the crowd, like some sort of hide and seek but with a real sinister vibe.
