I’m trying to play Tekken 8 on my steam deck and sometimes the game would run and sometimes it would be a black screen and I have to close out of it and relaunch it and hope it starts or keep repeating the process until it starts. This randomly showed up one time after I tried starting it after 10 failed attempts. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game but I keep running into the same issue of it sometimes working and sometimes not. Help appreciated!

Hi all, I'm currently running an Ubuntu 22.04 machine. I was previously on a Ryzen 5600 with 16GB of DDR4 ram, and have just upgraded to the Ryzen 9800X3D with 64gb of DDR5 ram. With my old cpu/ram, I was able to get an easy 60fps at 4k without issue using proton for Black Ops 1, but now after the upgrade despite everything else remaining the same (e.g. GPU), the game runs at a horrendously lower framerate, around 19 fps or so on the main menu.

What could be causing this? For reference, my GPU is an AMD 6950XT, and given it was running fine with the older hardware before, this shouldn't be occurring. I'm also using the following launch settings to fix the mouse acceleration issues:
gamemoderun DXVK_ASYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 RADV_PERFTEST=gpl DXVK_FRAME_RATE=90 %command%

First, I want to say thanks, especially to user tsubajashi. Thanks to your advice, I’m no longer getting error messages in the terminal! You’re great.

Unfortunately, I’m not quite there yet. Despite following https://www.makeuseof.com/install-proton-ge-on-steamos-linux/ all the way to the end (with some helpful advice on how to manage directories) proton GE is not appearing in steam’s list of available compatibility tools.

If you have any insight into how it’s supposed to work, like maybe I screwed up a file name somewhere and now steam can’t find the file, I’d be grateful.

So I recently bought a new to me laptop(Dell G3) and installed Pop_os and ive been playing around with it and steam. I was thinking about installing bazzite so I could get the console like experience then after I hooked up my wireless Xbox controller and pressed the Xbox button opening Big Picture Mode in Steam to my shock and excitement, then I realized I didn't need bazzite in order to get a console like experience. glad I figured it out but boy do I feel stupid! XD

I hope my ignorance can help somebody else out there that is having trouble with their setup.

I have a i5-1135G7 with Iris Xe and 16 GB of RAM (laptop). I've tried this game on Windows and it worked just fine. Proton Experimental and Protons GE don't make a difference. The graphics are all low and the game is just flat out unplayable.

What's weird is that the game lets me change all the settings with the exception of the refresh rate. Perhaps that has something to do with it? The game is also running off an external SSD, but I have GTA V and IV and other games on that SSD just fine. I'm at a loss right now.

When I start the game, the Rockstar Launcher asks me to buy it, even if I already have it with Epic. My game is installed in another drive and the Rockstar game is installed in /home because It can't be installed in the same drive as the game.

Obs: I am currently using the Flatpak version of the application, but I believe I should consider trying the AppImage or DEB version instead.

Hey everyone,
I’ve been wanting to make the switch to Arch Linux for about a year, but the biggest thing holding me back was gaming—specifically, waiting for games like Call of Duty (yes, I know) to work smoothly.

Recently, I decided I’d had enough of Windows and took the plunge. To make the transition smoother, I bought a second 1 TB SSD. My main 2 TB SSD is now fully dedicated to Arch Linux, and the new 1 TB SSD serves as my Windows drive. While I still need Windows for a few specific games and some work tasks for my day job, I’ve officially moved to Arch for almost everything else—and I’m not looking back.

What’s blown me away is how well gaming works on Arch. Sure, I had to do a little bit of tweaking at first, but I can now download almost any game and just play. It’s incredible. The level of compatibility has completely exceeded my expectations, and from everything I’ve seen, it only keeps getting better.

At this point, I only boot into Windows for a couple of games and when I have to work from home. The rest of the time, Arch Linux is my daily driver—and I couldn’t be happier.

If anyone out there is on the fence about switching, especially for gaming, I’d say go for it. It’s not as daunting as it used to be, and the results are genuinely mind-blowing.

I have setup Lutris and got a handful of games working. However Void Stranger crashes immediately, no matter what I do.

The log is here: https://pastebin.com/EgspNqSF

... and what I assume is the relevant error is in the following line: ERROR!!! :: Failed to open file: voidstranger_data.csv for buffer_load()

Any idea?

EDIT: Solved, it was actually quite stupid... see the comment below

Enlisted finally supports proton without anti-cheat kicking you (It probably had for a while, but I noticed this only now) and works quite good. Meanwhile native port shits itself every 5 minuets.

A lot of people see proton as being bad, because developers won't bother making a native port, but I actually think that it's good.

I think developers not doing a native port is good, because a lot of the time it's either sub-par, or borderline unusable. Enlisted being a good example. Native doesn't allow you to change any graphical settings at runtime, has issue with mouse locking which will not be resolved, because it's an engine issue and gaijin doesn't give a shit, and it crashes constantly.

Meanwhile windows build running through proton has non of the above mentioned issues.

Now that doesn't mean that developers shouldn't make native versions. There a lot of positive examples, like flight of nova, terraria, valheim(hit or miss), cs2 etc... But not having to make that port is a good thing, because at the end of the day, most devs don't care about 4%(at best) of gamers that run linux.

I just decided to buy this game since I 100% all previous ones, I remember that Rise of the Tomb Raider didn't run so well on Windows 11 on High settings.

Now that I switched to Linux I just decided to try Shadow of TR and the game already preset all on Ultra, my first thought was "Haha, let's see just out of curiosity how it'll run", I was hopping for a terrible experience with heavy stuttering and probably 30-40FPS. Then, suddenly it started running at mostly constant 60FPS, not dropping below 40FPS, not a single stuttering.

That's just insane!!!

I couldn't believe that, how is this even possible? Or am I mistaken something here? Does Shadow of TR really runs better than Rise of TR? Because the difference is insane.
