I own GTA V via the Rockstar Launcher. I wanna play it now that I'm switched to Linux (I'm aware online obviously doesn't work, but the Singleplayer does). I tried the Lutris method, the search Lutris for Community launchers option. I found the rockstar games launcher, set it up with where the prefix would be, what to call it, etc, clicked install (made sure to select the old standalone launcher from the options so it should install fine), it brings up a console screen where it shows everything it's doing, and in the video I watched (which was a year old but showed the same launcher download options in Lutris), where his brought up the installer screen, he went through it, it installed, and he could launch it after. Mine doesn't, the console eventually stops outputting text, says it's "done," but no installer screen ever came up, so nothing actually installed, but Lutris GUI comes up and says it's installed, so I tried clicking launch, obviously, it fails to launch because it can't find the launcher files. Because the installer never actually ran, and I tried making a new prefix folder and tried completely from scratch again too, did the same stuff, same result. The installer screen never shows, Lutris thinks it installed but can't launch the launcher because the files aren't actually there obviously.

Does anyone know any other actually working way to get the rockstar launcher installed, so I can then download and install GTA v and play it?

I don't know, this method should work but isn't.

Not sure how widely known this is, but running the EpicOnlineServicesInstaller.exe that ships with Ready or Not directly in its Steam Proton prefix got the EOS overlay working. Shift+F3 and everything.

WINEPREFIX=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1144200/pfx wine ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Ready\ Or\ Not/EpicOnlineServicesInstaller.exe

Adjust paths to match your Steam library and location of the game.

Figured i might as well share for the next person trying to get EOS working in proton/wine.

I'm on Fedora and I need to wipe my save completely (please don't ask why). I've tried reinstalling the the game without steam cloud on and it still comes back to where it was. How do I reset this game?

I recently switched to Linux, but some games I run have a "choppy" feeling to them, even though I'm getting high fps. Using gamescope fixes the issue, but the overhead is killer. Is there any way to fix this?

I believe my current compositor is KWin, and I'm running Wayland. I have an Nvidia gpu, and I'm running Fedora as my distro. This affects all games I'm running, but I'm primarily noticing issues in Deadlock.

I have a non-steam game that I have to launch by navigating to the directory in the file explorer, right click, open with "wine windows program loader". If I try to use the terminal by typing 'wine /path/to/executable', it will not work.

I am using sway with waybar, so is there a way to launch the game using "wine windows program loader" through a terminal command, so that I can make a waybar button that will execute that terminal command?

https://forums.opensuse.org/t/audio-in-games-cuts-out-after-several-seconds/185139/12

(I'm running Mint Cinnamon) I have been experiencing game audio stuttering or cutting out and found a solution that works, linked above. By entering pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-quantum 512 into the terminal, my problem is solved, but it's not permanent and I have to do it every time I turn on my computer to play.

The user in the forum suggests the following:

I created a file in /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d called 15-clock-quantum.conf. The contents are:

context.properties = { default.clock.quantum = 512 }

That sets the clock buffer size to 512 by default. I double-checked it, after rebooting, by running:
“pw-metadata -n settings”.

I thought it was solved. Then I tested it, and it hadn’t fixed it. I’ll have to do more reading of the pipewire docs. I think that somehow, even though I set the default to 512, something is overriding that when the system boots, or when a game launches, or something. So I need to figure out how to lock that value. But like I said, I’m sure it’s in the docs somewhere. I have a few hours tomorrow to look into it. I will update when I have the solution.

To which another user replies:

Maybe default.clock.min-quantum ? See man pipewire.conf.

My understanding is that he edited his original line to read:

context.properties = {
default.clock.min-quantum = 512
}

This appears to have worked for the original user but I've only been using Linux for about 48 hours and I don't understand how they are implementing this fix. I think they're creating a new .conf file in pipewire? I tried to do just that but it appears I don't have the correct permissions. Do I just need to give myself permission somehow or am I off base? If so, any help would be great.

Thanks!

I downloaded Linux Mint to see if the problem wasn't Arch Linux, because I was losing FPS in Roblox/Sober compared to Windows.

Hey so I have a bad PC and really want to enjoy a few lightweight games, so I downloaded Dark Souls Remastered, wich runs OK on windows, however the game's pacing is tied to your FPS, so if you play below 60 the game runs in slow motion. Haven't tried playing any other game yet, but it shows this error when i try launching the game. Not an issue of not meeting system requirements because i can play it on windows, and steam's compatibility mode showed no results. Any help?

Edit: As I said i have a bad PC (i5 4570, HD4600) and that gpu does not support vulkan on windows, but it does support 1.0 vulkan on linux, so it should run... right? (i'm not certain how does "proton" work)

I use CachyOS to game on, and FFXIV's FPS tends to degrade over time with my new 9070 XT. This degradation wasn't present before I upgraded from my RTX 3080, and doesn't happen in any other games I play, like Monster Hunter Wilds or Expedition 33.

It's also the only game that didn't see any FPS boost from upgrading the GPU at all. My entire gaming library got some sort of FPS increase after switching to the 9070 XT, but Final Fantasy XIV stayed at around the 50~70 FPS average on launch, which drops to around half that after an hour or so of gameplay, where it stays until I re-launch the game.

I did a full clean reinstall of CachyOS recently to see if it would fix my issues to no avail. I also attempted to install the game via multiple means; the Flatpak version from the Discover app, installing it via Lutris, and as a non-steam game all yielded similar results.

LACT doesn't show any GPU thermal throttling as the game remains open, the temperatures stay at around 50~55 degrees C with the fans running at around 30%. BTOP shows the CPU usage for the game is around 26~35% with temps at 46 degrees C.

PC Specs are:

• Intel i7 12700K
• 32GB DDR5 4800
• Asrock Z790 Riptide
• Asus Prime RX 9070 XT
• 500GB + 1TB Samsung NVME SSDs (OS and non-program files stored on 500GB, games and programs installed to 1TB)
• 1440p display

This is my first time troubleshooting here, so if there's any information I'm missing or anything else that would be helpful, just let me know and I'll provide what I can.

Hello everybody! Recently I switched to Linux for my gaming PC and there is no way I will ever regret that. The point is, I have a, lets say old, laptop, which used to be a gaming laptop back in the day. We speak about a Zephyrus GX501:
CPU: i7 7th gen 2.2 GHZ base
GPU: 1080 max-q design
RAM: 16gb DDR4

The point is: I would like to switch this laptop to Linux so I can give it a chance to run small games like Luma Island, Stardew Valley and so on. This is the laptop my girl uses to play with me.
The problem is that if I install Windows, in less than 100 gaming hours it starts to run very, very bad.
Can you recommend me the best Linux distro that I can try on this laptop? Thank you a lot!

I also want to mention that I do not expect for it to run all the games at maximum graphics with 60 fps, all I want foe it is to give a better and a smoother experience to my girl.
