Hi! I'm looking for a solution to the problem described in the title.
Proton games I play (Path of Exile and Warframe to be exact) have been slowing down substantially after ~30-60 minutes of gameplay. PoE gives more detailed performance info, and I've been able to deduce that time spent on the CPU processes per frame is the problem, as it jump up to ~80-100ms per frame once the problem kicks in.

What I'm pretty certain the problem isn't:
- Overheating of any component, as they sit ~45-50C during the problematic times
- Overloading of the CPU with other tasks, as usage is reported to be ~60% for all 4 cores
- Memory leaking/swapping as those metrics also stay normal

What I've tried with no success:
- Changing Proton versions (Experimental, latest few numbered versions, latest GE)
- Disabling CPU powersaving by reducing frequency.

If anyone has any idea, or needs more detailed information please say so in the comments! Thanks in advance!

I've installed the Steam Link app on my Nvidia shield to game on the couch on the ground floor while my pc is running upstairs. To play on my Shield, I have to start my pc, run Steam, walk downstairs, start tv & shield, launch Steam link, connect to pc, start game, go back upstairs, allow remote connection & control, go back downstairs again.

Is there any way to automate the 'allow remote connection & control' step? Would save me walking up & down stairs.

I do approve of giving apps permissions for this feature, I would just like to whitelist Steam for this.

Running the latest Fedora workstation release on my desktop.

This is a first, I tried launching Bioshock 2 Remastered on my old GPD Win 1 with Fedora 41 and I got an error message I've never seen (and which returns no hit on Google) when asked if I agree with 2K Games Online Policies :

We have determined you are not old enough to perform this action. If you believe you are receiving this message in error, please contact 2K support at support.2k.com"

I mean, I'm 32 years old (fossilized according to today standards), how old do you have to be to launch this game ?! 😅

Hi, I'm trying to run old racing game called Juiced, but I don't know how to bypass 'install directx9.0c' check that the game have. I installed the game using lutris, I have dxvk enabled, I even used winetricks to install d3dcompiler_43 and d3dx9_43 and still nothing.

I installed proton and I have tried to run Rain World, but I got an error saying that Rain World required DirectX, and from what i've read, proton needs Vulkan to work, but my computer doesn't have Vulkan support (it's quite old) and i don't know if there is any alternative to play games on linux

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.
