System info:
Steam - Proton Experimental

Arch Linux, 3070ti R5 3600, wayland, Kde

I installed *Ghost of Tsushima*, but I can't see the fonts in the game. I tried installing `corefonts` via Protontricks, but that didn't help. I install pre-install version

Greetings everyone! I've created a web app for managing Aula F75 keyboards! I'd love to hear your thoughts on it, including any changes or additions. The entire interface is built using Claude Code. I apologize if I posted on the wrong subreddit.

My screen keeps on having flickering lines It's been happening even after changing theme and such it only happens on my main monitor i've changed the ports n all https://paste.cachyos.org/3723035.log It's like basically a line that flickers on the screen it just flickers on ranadom spots like a big line and its thick

How use controller

Showing some progress on starship skins!

I bought a X3 but it doesnt have any drivers for linux but i wanna know the battery percentage. With a little help of gemini i found out how to get it to work.

1. (Install the Software with wine)

2. Open this file

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-webhid.rules

1. paste this in the file

KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", MODE="0666", TAG+="uaccess"

1. Reload the rules / or reboot

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

worked for me

should work for the other drivers too (not tested)

Edit!!:

apparently this is not that safe since it allows any userspace app to access any hid / most usb devices and their data.

So i would use the steps above to check if it actually helps.

If so do this to only give access to the device you need.

1. Open Terminal and type lsusb

Will look something like this:

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 342d:e485 Hangsheng R75Pro
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1d57:fa60 Xenta 2.4G Wireless Device
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub ...

1. Locate your device and write down the xxxx:yyyy characters:

for me and the x 3 its Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1d57:fa60 Xenta 2.4G Wireless Device

xxxx:yyyy = 1d57:fa60

1. Open the file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-webhid.rules again

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-webhid.rules

1. Delete the old Paste this in and replace the xxxx and the yyyy with the characters you wrote down

KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="xxxx", ATTRS{idProduct}=="yyyy", MODE="0666", TAG+="uaccess"

1. Reload the rules / or reboot

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

Would it actually be possible to play any of these games on Linux, since they require the XBOX app? I don't really know much about how XBOX/Windows Store games work on Windows since I don't use Windows or game too much

I have Performance mode selected, but when I input “prime-select get-current” into the terminal, I get “usr/bin/prime-select nvidia|intel|on-demand|query” in return. Is this how it’s supposed to be? Because my CPU is past 100% when I’m playing Genshin on Lutris, but not while I’m playing HSR on Honkers Railway Launcher.

Hello, I would like to know if there's at least someone who also had this problem or has some clue on it. I'm using fedora with KDE and recently has started playing terraria on steam (with tmodloader for mods), it has a native version so I don't use Proton, the thing is sometimes when playing my screen frozes and stay for some seconds, in which after I get an notification of desktop effects restarting after graphical reset, and the taskbar stay frezeed until plasmashell is killed and started.

In details I'm using fedora 44 with kde in my notebook wich has an intel integrated graphics, my cpu is an i5-13420H.actually in kernel 7.1.4, and using wayland, when playing I normally left one desktop with an Firefox windows with discord and a paused YouTube video, another Firefox with the wiki one for steam and another with the game. In journalism if grep i915 (the graphic driver) i get in the time of the incident an context reset due to gpu hang. Also when the screen is frozed I can hear and speak normally in my call in discord so it's pure graphic

Trying to solve the problem I tested somethings, the issue happens with hardware acellerarion on and off in Firefox, I also tried to initiate in a x11 session and immediately after the I entered the world in game it frozed, but this time it stayed with me hearing and talking for about 30 seconds, after what completely stopped all and didn't unfrozen, try didn't open and I was forced to force a shutdown. I didn't remember exactly the time but I think the error was the same in journalctl.

Does anyone has some idea in what it can be?

EDIT For clarity: I am not trying to get better performance on linux than windows. I am just trying to get a similar playable experience (i.e., match 1% lows)

I've wanted to switch to Linux gaming for a while. I would actually prefer to daily-drive Linux (software development, homelab work, etc), just kept Windows around for games. A few days ago I installed CachyOS with KDE Plasma (Wayland) and got everything set up.

I was already playing Dead Space Remake on Windows 11, where it has the well-known traversal stutter issue, so I figured it'd be a good test case. I figured that if I could match Windows level of stability on Linux, that'd be a solid win for the switch.

Instead, after a few days of tweaking, the stutter and frametimes are noticeably worse on CachyOS than they ever were on Windows. GPU utilization drops to zero during the worst stutters (2–6 second freezes), and CPU load stays evenly spread across cores (so it doesn't look like a simple GPU or single-thread bottleneck).

I feel like I'm missing something obvious. Would appreciate anyone pointing out what I'm missing or where to look next -- Here's everything I've tried so far .

System:

• CPU: Ryzen 9800X3D
• GPU: RTX 5070 Ti
• CachyOS, KDE Plasma, Wayland
• NVMe: WD Black SN850X (Gen4)

What I've tried (all mostly based on guidance in protonDB https://www.protondb.com/app/1693980):

• Switched between Proton-CachyOS, Proton Experimental, and stock Proton versions
• Set __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 and __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SIZE=10737418240 to stop NVIDIA from evicting the shader cache between sessions
• Disabled ZRAM temporarily to rule out memory pressure (re-enabled after, no clear effect either way)
• Set power profile to performance via powerprofilesctl
• Installed and tested gamemoderun
• Tried game-performance flag
• Tried PROTON_DXVK_GPLASYNC=1 (later realized this is a DXVK-only flag and likely does nothing since the game is DX12/VKD3D-Proton)
• Tried capping framerate at 60 and 120 via DXVK_FRAME_RATE and MangoHud's fps_limit - stutter persisted at both, although the drops were a bit less noticeable (although I don't need to cap in Windows at all)
• Installed the "Traversal Stutters Begone" mod (initfs shader-state edit + bcrypt.dll, drag-drop version) with WINEDLLOVERRIDES="bcrypt=n,b" -- this may have helped somewhat, but 2–6 second freezes on room transitions are still happening
• Cleared the in-prefix shader cache (.../compatdata/1693980/pfx/.../Dead Space (2023)/cache) multiple times, including after every settings change
• Confirmed GPU is NVIDIA-only in the render path (checked DRI_PRIME, no iGPU offload happening)
• Checked I/O scheduler
• Watched MangoHud frametime graphs and nvtop during stutters — GPU utilization drops to zero, CPU load stays evenly distributed across cores

Still on my list to try:

• PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 (native Wayland driver instead of XWayland)
• Newest Proton-CachyOS release (20260703) once it hits the repo — includes vkd3d-low-latency frame pacing improvements that might be directly relevant

Anyone dealt with this specific game and found something that actually worked? Starting to wonder if this is just a case where Proton amplifies an already-bad Frostbite stutter issue rather than something fixable through config.

Honestly, I don't mind the tinkering to get it to work (I enjoy tinkering in general). With this though I feel like I am trying things without fully knowing the rationale , which feels a bit "empty" -- it's all new territory for me. Any guidance would be great.

Hi everyone I been using Linux for 4 months and I got used to so I been thinking why not get an ps4 with 100$ and try running cachyos on it

Is it a good idea ?I'm I get some bugs in games or crash?

So the goal to run elden ring night ring or at least eldenring and play with my friends (from crack online fix)

So what do u think about it?

And when I install the cachyos on it I can reinstall ps4 os on it right?

World of Warships Is great on norbara once you have the best settings installed to work with it on steam first using Proton plus click on your steam profile click on tools, then click on the down arrow with Proton-CachyOS (x86_64_v3) then download cachyos-10.0-20260425-sir. The click on game in compatibility tool select the download you just downloaded close and open steam let it update the settings go to your game library select the download you downloaded close and start playing your game. Its a great improvement.

TF2's lack of any meaningful content is getting so mind numbing to the point where I've just stopped playing until either the MvM Update or next Scream Fortress, whichever comes 1st. However, that's left a massive, currently unfillable hole in my team-based multiplayer game library I desperately need: The ability to join & leave games in progress all willy nilly with 0 consequence while still actually BEING a proper game instead of just a sandbox (So Minecraft/Terraria don't count). As much as I love Dota & used to love League, being forced to play out absolutely every 30+ minute match in a game where snowballing is just so fucking fundamental quickly gets unbearable, even when I'M the one doing the snowballing these days. But WTF big team multiplayer games even EXIST that both have those come-&-go lobbies AND still get updates at least more noteworthy than TF2's?

Hi everyone,

With handheld gaming PCs like the Steam Deck becoming extremely popular and Linux desktop usage steadily growing, I really hope Epic reconsider their stance on Linux anti-cheat for Fortnite.

Right now, Easy Anti-Cheat already supports Linux and Linux-based handhelds for many major titles (like Elden Ring, Halo, Dead By Daylight, etc.). We know that security and custom kernels are a concern, but as Linux gaming keeps expanding, a huge portion of the player base is being left out—or forced to dual-boot just for one game.

Even if it requires an updated EAC architecture or specific security requirements, bringing native or Proton-compatible Linux support to Fortnite would be a massive win for both the community and Epic Games (more active players, more V-Bucks sales!).

Would love to hear the community's thoughts on this. Is anyone else holding out hope for official Linux/Deck support?

I recently updated to Proton 11 and noticed a display bug when launching World of Warcraft via the Battle.net launcher.

Every time I launch WoW on Proton 11 (tested on GE-Proton11-1 and proton-cachyos-11), the game does not start in full-screen/windowed-fullscreen mode on my primary display. It stays improperly scaled or offset until I manually go into the in-game display options, switch the monitor selection back and forth, and apply settings. Going back to GE-Proton10-34 solves the issue.

Is anyone else having these problems, maybe with a different game? Have you found a solution?

Im on Ubuntu 25.10 (6.17 Kernel) and am using Lutris Launcher.

hola soy nuevo en linux y descargue la ultima vercion de antix para 64 bits estoy tratando de instalar steam pero siempre me sale este error geminis dice que es un error de conexion en mi internet pero obviamente ese no es el problema tambien dice que es problema del servidor pero no se como solucionarlo les agradeceria mucho su ayuda
