Firstly, I am a casual Linux user coming from Windows that doesn't know much about coding / terminal so please be patient with me.

I am on Linux Mint and attempting to run Rocket League on Heroic Games Launcher which I installed the flatpak of. I did not mess with any of the settings before trying. Here is the error I got:

and typed out if the above image isn't easy to read:

"Assertion failed!

Program: C:\windows\system32\steam.exe
File:. ../src-lsteamclient/steamclient_main.c

Line: 375

Expression: '!status'

Press OK to exit the program, or Cancel to start the Wine debugger."

I have no idea what to do and have tried both the OK and Cancel options (which doesn't seem to do much when I look at the terminal app, restarting the computer, and reinstalling the wine manager latest GE-Proton version and the lesser preferred latest Wine-GE-Proton within the game launcher settings. I saw other posts about making edits to something called an umu launcher but the error seemed different and the solution did not have an explanation. Even more posts about another error regarding Nvidia graphic error fix which I don't think applies to this error as the details of the "Expression" line differed.

I'm new to Linux, My main Sdd is 128gb and most of the games I play are mostly around 30gb+ or more, I tried using Proton GE and Proton GE didn't registered into steam, when i tried changing its compatibility and saw it still uses Steam's Proton. I use Zorin Os

So. I have spent too much time fixing the issue with my VKB EVO joystick, so I have decided to make a post so people can see more recent solution to this problem.

So, a brief history. I installed MSFS on Linux (NixOS, btw), but couldn't get the MSFS to recognise my VKB EVO joystick. Here is solution that helped me:

1. Switch to Proton 9.0.4, launch the game. Your joystick should now appear as a generic controller (tried both ProtonGE and Experimental (10.06.2025) - both didn't work in my case. Had no joystick in the game at all).

2. Follow the registery edit by u/xatrekak : This post

(People who know where to find all those params in regedit are still wizards to me)

Hope that helps!

Seriously, in my whole 20 years using Linux I wouldn't have ever even dreamt of having this kind of compatibility right out of the box with a freshly installed distro.

Hello everyone!

The time has come to share one of our most important achievements to date. Although this is a purely technical advancement, which will likely be of most interest to other Qt developers, it will also affect all players.

From the Old System to the New: Why We Changed?

Previously, like most developers, we used a tile-based LOD system for generating the game world. Essentially, we created chunks based on heightmaps using Qt HeightFieldGeometry. This solution worked initially, but over time, our ambitions for draw distance grew. When we added rocky and sandy terrains to the game, we encountered many problems:

• Grid around tiles: Unsightly lines separating parts of the world.
• Increased CPU load: The number of tiles reached up to 1600, heavily stressing the system.
• Difficulties with smoothing transitions: When players changed altitudes (e.g., during resource extraction), transitions looked unpolished.

These problems were very difficult to solve.

Inspiration from UE5 and Our Solution

In the process of finding solutions, we came across the terrain implementation in UE5, specifically their Nanite system. This impressed us greatly, and we decided to create an analogous system in Qt.

The Result: A More Detailed and Lighter World

Unlike UE5, our system currently works only for primitives (e.g., ocean or ground), but it has completely solved all our problems! Now we can create much more detailed terrain that is significantly less demanding on gaming hardware.

We are very excited about these changes and believe they will make the game world even better and more performant for each of you!

I have already followed all the existing guides and tried to generate log files but I just can't solve this problem. I am on fedora 42 using steam flatpak with proton 9 or proton GE-10, mo2, lutris, wine, and etc.

I really need help to solve this problem or at least generate log files.

So, something really weird has started happening. I'm trying to play Jedi Falle Order everything goes well during the install but when you try to start the game the ea app will launch and tell me "The latest sync was interrupted" and to try again in 5 minutes. Well if you leave it running nothing will happen. It won't sync my saves. You can continue the launch by clicking launch anyway. But obviously I got no saves lol. I should note that the ea app is ONLINE I can see friends list and everything. Tried changing proton versions, restarting router, unplugging anything else using the Internet, removing prefix and starting again, verify files, updating the OS Arch. I'm out of ideas. My Steam Deck hasn't got this issue and the game runs fine. This also happens on other EA app games like mass effect legendary edition. I've never had this issue before and I've been gaming on linux since the beginning. Is just weird that this is only on my main pc and not the steam deck so it can't be a network issue.... Anyone got any ideas???

Hello,

is anyone using an Force Feedback Joystick on Linux? If so, which one?
Are there any cheap ones out there that work on Linux to use with Condor 3?

Thank you very much.
