Hello, I recently changed to Linux Mint from Windows 11. One thing I have noticed is that some games load slower than windows. Especially Hoi4 which took a minute on windows but now 5 minutes. I have my games installed on a SSD and its formatted to NTFS.

I have Steam (Version: 1738026274) installed on Pop_OS! 22.04 on a laptop with an Nvidia dGPU. I'm running an external monitor via USB-C, and set Pop to use only that display when gaming in Timberborn. I fixed screen tearing issues by downloading [Disable unredirect fullscreen windows](https://github.com/kazysmaster/gnome-shell-extension-disable-unredirect) via the Gnome Extension Manager. While this fixes the screen tearing, it also makes the game freeze after only a minute or two. Is there a way to fix the freezing problem?

In case anyone wants to try the new DLSS 310.1.0.0 DLLs with Preset J (transformer model) on Linux:

-- WITHOUT FRAME GENERATION! If anyone can get it to work ON STARFIELD, please let me know -- I've tried everything! --

This uses Starfield as an example.

Manually rename

nvngx_dlss.dll

and

nvngx_dlssg.dll

in your Starfield directory.

From source of new DLSS 310.1.0.0 DLLs, manually copy

nvngx_dlss.dll

and

nvngx_dlssg.dll

to the Starfield directory.

Download DLSSTweaks from

https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/550

In dlsstweaks.ini set the following. Yes, that shows "G" when the preset is really "J". J will appear though.

[DLSSPresets]

DLAA = G

UltraPerformance = G

Performance = G

Balanced = G

Quality = G

UltraQuality = G

Rename

nvngx.dll

to

winmm.dll

Put dlsstweaks.ini and winmm.dll in your Starfield directory.

Use these Steam launch options for Starfield:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winmm=n,b" %command%

To verify Preset J is working, add a DLSS Preset Indicator to Linux.

In

.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/1716740/pfx

Edit system.reg

After

[Software\\NVIDIA Corporation\\Global\\NGXCore] 1729622957

#time=1db24b318be4d72

"FullPath"="C:\\Windows\\System32"

add

"Installed"=dword:00000001

"ShowDlssIndicator"=dword:00000400

to enable. To disable use

"Installed"=dword:00000001

"ShowDlssIndicator"=dword:00000000

Now you will see your preset and some other data in the lower left of your screen.

My test results running for 60 seconds around New Atlantis as recorded using Mangohud, at 4k with Ultra settings, AMD 7600X 64 GB RAM / Nvidia 4070 Ti Super 16 GB VRAM, Linux Mint 22, Nvidia 565.77 drivers.

DLSS 3.5 Balanced / preset C / 32.2 FPS

DLSS 310.1.0.0 Balanced / preset C / 35.2 FPS

DLSS 310.1.0.0 Balanced / preset J / 36.7 FPS

DLSS 310.1.0.0 Performance / preset J / 37.3 FPS

DLSS 310.1.0.0 Ultra Performance / preset J / 40.4 FPS

End of 60 second average FPS test shows 36.7 FPS

Hi all, I'm trying to remember a game I remember playing about 20 years ago.

Unless I'm mixing up things from multiple games, it was a 2D, top-down game, were you controlled some vehicle that behaved somewhat like in the game "snake". The levels were fairly elaborate and there were little ramps and bridges to go from one part to another.

I think there were bonuses and perhaps weapons? Unfortunately I can't remember exactly what the game mechanic was, and if it was more like a puzzle or an action game. Perhaps it was about conquering different parts of the level, or doing certain things in a certain order? I'm not sure.

The art style was pretty nice, it had a cartoonish sci-fi theme. Maybe a bit of a polished japanese arcade vibe?

It contained roughly 100 levels. I'm pretty sure I played it on Linux and that it was open source, but I went through libregamewiki and couldn't recognize it.

Does my (vague) description ring any bells?

Download and Infos: Zombie Defense

Zombie Defense is a little mini-game for in-between games. The player has to save a small town from lots of angry zombies. The zombies run towards them on five tracks and must be eliminated. Three different types of ammunition are available to the player. With the help of power-ups, the player can slow down the zombies or even destroy them completely.

I am trying to install steam on my Rocky 8.10 using flatpak. I was initially following this guide but I received an error when launching steam.

The unofficial Steam Flatpak app now requires user namespaces to be enabled.
Check that the bubblewrap executable used by Flatpak, usually /usr/bin/bwrap or /usr/libexec/flatpak-bwrap, is not setuid root.
If the file /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone exists, check that it contains value 1.
If the file /proc/sys/user/max_user_namespaces exists, check that its value is at least 100.
For more details, please see: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki/User-namespace-requirements !

Screenshot of Steam Flatpak error

I checked the bubblewrap and it seems correct, -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 71296 Sep 5 08:30 /usr/bin/bwrap.
The file /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone does not exist.
Lastly, /proc/sys/user/max_user_namespaces contains 254986.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using Flatpak 1.12.9 - app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/x86_64/stable v1.0.0.81.

Hey everyone, need quick help on getting Far Cry 1 to work on Lutris. I tried almost everything really and nothing seems to work. I initally did the usual steps of just installing the setup without altering much, but the game would crash. The first thing I did is installing it with DirectX9b to install within the setup wizard. The game would just crash and not start. I tried without checking the DirextX9b, same result. Tried under different versions of Windows in the installation process to no avail. The reason why I'm trying to get it to work under Lutris is because the only way I know rn is via PlayOnLinux, which is outdated and has terrible performance in comparison to the games I got working under Lutris. As for the crash log, I get this error but I have no idea what it means:

gamemodeauto: dlopen failed - libgamemode.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'd be happy if I can get the game working in another way (without Lutris if possible). Steam and GOG are out of the question because I have a physical copy of the game as well as an ISO that contains the setup file and everything I need.

I am running gamescope as dedicated session started either from SDDM or by switching to another TTY and running script attached below.

It seems to be issue with Baldur's Gate 3 itself as I tested Disco Elysium and HDR was present as an option, whilist launching it from plasma automatically disabled said option.

Launch command:

%command% --vulkan --skip-launcher

I also tried setting ENABLE_HDR_WSI=0/1, DXVK_HDR=1, ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0/1 from launch options in my attempts to get HDR working.

HDR is working in gamescope itself, TV switches into HDR mode, HDR option is present and enabled in bigpicture options.

However BG3 seems to be stuck in SDR mode and under video options I see gamma correction instead of hdr calibration.

I am running latest unstable branch of NixOS. gamescope version 3.16.1 (gcc 14.2.1)

My gamescope launch script:

#!/nix/store/4fvc5fm8bszmkydng1ivrvr5cbvr1g60-bash-5.2p37/bin/bash if pidof steam > /dev/null; then echo "Steam already running, killing" kill $(pidof steam) sleep 3 fi export GAMESCOPE_MODE_SAVE_FILE="/home/damianu/.config/gamescope/modes.cfg" export DXVK_HDR=1 export ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 export ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=1 export STEAM_GAMESCOPE_HDR_SUPPORTED=1 /nix/store/kqaw3jy7jjz28kix4fc1kmg5aq13i00b-signal-tv/bin/signal-tv enable #Run gamescope --steam --hdr-enabled --hdr-itm-enable -f -r 60 --rt --mangoapp --hdr-debug-force-output -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 3840 -H 2160 --fullscreen -s 1.5 -- steam -tenfoot -pipewire-dmabuf -steamos3 -steampal -steamdeck submitted by /u/Damianu

I realize you could all use money more than someone's appreciation, but I have no money. I do appreciate everything you do, though, sifting through code to make games playable on Linux through various game platforms, wine bottles, and other tricks used to get our favorite games to work in Linux with just the press of a button.

I am forever amazed at the dedication so many of you have to make sure poor schlubs like me can sit down at my desktop, and just fire up my favorite game. It is so deeply appreciated, and I don't know if you realize how much your contributions matter.

So thank you very much.

Sincerely,
A Linux Gamer

Hey dear Linux folks,

what is the current state with rust EAC/Easy Anti Cheat on linux? The latest thread about it that I could find is three years old. Has anything changed yet?

Thanks in advance!

Hey, GOG did it and finally got the PC versions of these old classics running on modern machines. As a big fan of the first game from back in the day, I bought the bundle, installed it via Heroic Launcher and it seems Dino Crisis 1 runs great on Linux as long as you set

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw=n,b"

Running it first with an older Wine-GE version, I could not get the cutscenes to render, but everything else worked perfectly. Switching to Proton-GE 9-23 also made the cutscenes work. I've played for about 30 minutes without encountering anything out of the ordinary (except for some gnarly dinosaurs of course).

From people on other subs, it seems Dino Crisis 2 is running without any issues straightaway.

Im using Open SUSE with XFCE, in X11.
I downloaded the Steam package that openSUSE provides via Yast software.
When I finish downloading a game my whole system stutters and slows down. If I'm using Discord, my incoming and outgoing audio are crunched. And while I keep checking System Monitor, I don't see anything else popping up in high CPU usage when it happens.

I actually encountered this in the past on I think Ubuntu, but I believe my fix was to switch to the .deb file Steam provides, away from a flatpak/snap. Or maybe it was to switch to Wayland (sadly XFCE doesn't support Wayland yet).

That said now I'm on a new distro without deb packaging. Does anyone have suggestions?

I've already tried disabling shader pre-cache (and vulkan background processing was already disabled) in Steam. I also tried enabling them. No difference.

I'm also new to openSUSE
