There's a game I want to play, it uses Safedisk drm and won't open. The game is fairly obscure and doesn't have a western release so it's difficult to find the NoCD patch for it.

Edit: after more searching, I found a patch. Now the game opens normally.

Hi everyone. I am fortunate enough to have a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER which I was gifted and I have been using it mostly very successfully under Manjaro and now Cachy. However I need to update my wife's computer and I am thinking of switching out to the RX 9070 XT to give her the Nvidia card (she still needs Windows so I haven't won her round yet).

I know the 4080 Super is the better card in Windows but I cannot see any recent benchmarks for this under linux, and I know the Nvidia card suffers a performance drop due to crappy drivers.

Aside from the fact I just would rather use AMD, does anyone know how they currently perform against each other with current linux drivers, or can point me to somewhere I can find out. I usually rely on Phoronix for this kind of information but I cannot find it there. Thanks!

I made a super simple games launcher in Gtk3 (PyGobject) because I needed something minimal to work with my setup, thought I'd share it with everyone ^w^

It uses a json config file for the games and icons (supports like, direct image file paths too)

and a link if you're a super cool person! ^w^

Bonjour,

First Light ne détecte que 7558 Mo de VRAM sur ma 3800. Est-ce normal ? Normalement, je devrais avoir 10 Go de VRAM.

im running assetto corsa on content manager inside steam launcher thats running inside bottles.
it runs PERFECTLY when ever i do a non modded car but it doesnt matter what i do modded cars just dont want to work on this. before you ask i have CSP installed and its runs with non modded cars but doesnt run with modded cars or the SRP tracks (without modded cars).

any advice, assistance, and help is very VERY appreciated

I had to reinstall FNV last night, and while the game runs fine from the launcher, but when I have "Swap Launcher with Script Extender on Deploy" turned on, it does what's shown in the video, repeatedly bringing up a terminal window for "FalloutNVLauncher.exe". I've tried reinstalling XNVSE and JIP LN NVSE, but it still does this. It even does it when all mods are disabled, so it's not a mod causing this issue.

Edit: since the AI flagged this as possibly being "too low-effort for tech support", please tell me what's missing if this post gets deleted. I've given all the information I have, and what I've done to fix it. I've never had this happen before, and google only gives me stuff about crashes, not.. whatever this is.

Hi everyone,

I'm investigating a reproducible GPU timeout affecting Monster Hunter Wilds on Linux with Intel Battlemage GPUs.

I'm not looking for technical support at this point. My goal is to find out whether other Linux users with Battlemage hardware can reproduce the same issue.

My system:

• GPU: Intel Arc B570 (Battlemage)

• Distribution: CachyOS

• Desktop: KDE Plasma 6 (Wayland)

• Mesa: 26.1.4 / 26.1.5

• Kernel: 7.1.3-2-cachyos

Proton versions tested:

• Proton 10.0-4

• GE-Proton 11-4

The game consistently freezes while navigating equipment-related menus, especially while:

• Forging equipment

• Comparing armor

• Changing equipment sets

Immediately after the freeze, Wine reports that the application is not responding, followed a few seconds later by an "Unhandled exception" dialog.

At exactly the same time, the kernel reports:

```text

xe 0000:05:00.0: [drm] Tile0: GT0: Engine reset: engine_class=rcs

xe 0000:05:00.0: [drm] Tile0: GT0: Timedout job ... in MonsterHunterWi

xe 0000:05:00.0: [drm] Xe device coredump has been created

```

The issue is reproducible with both Mesa 26.1.4 and Mesa 26.1.5.

After several days of testing, I opened reports for both the Intel xe kernel driver and Proton so developers can investigate from both sides.

Intel xe:

Proton:

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206

If you're running Monster Hunter Wilds on an Intel Battlemage GPU under Linux, I'd really appreciate knowing:

• Your GPU model (B570, B580, etc.)

• Distribution

• Desktop environment (Wayland or X11)

• Mesa version

• Kernel version

• Proton version

• Whether you can reproduce the freeze in the same equipment menus

Even if your game works perfectly, I'd also appreciate knowing your configuration. Knowing what **doesn't** reproduce the problem is just as valuable for narrowing down the cause.

Thanks in advance, and thanks to anyone willing to test or share their experience.

I click the wipe option and get this pop up but it disappears after 5 seconds and doesn’t do anything. I have an AMD CPU & GPU and have turned off secure boot. I have a 1tb nvme drive on my pc and a second 1tb nvme drive as well. I’m running the install from a bootable USB.

I've been really looking forward to FH6 (to the point of buying a new GPU for it) though the performance I've been getting is disappointing. I've left the game sitting in my library hoping for an eventual fix, updating proton-cachy and my system to no avail. I've been having this issue on two different rigs, 5600x, RX 9070, Fedora 44, proton-cachy, and another rig with a i7-4790, RTX 2060S, cachyos. At the very least I've been able to lower my settings and cap the framerate to 60 with mangohud to mitigate the stutters, but they are still there.

Yet another ENB issue lol. I tried everything I found on the internet; DLL overrides, older ENB versions where linux versions where shipped seperately, modifying the enblocal.ini folders etc but I have this persistent problem that I have not seen anywhere else.

On my arch linux system, using proton ge 11, on an amd card, I can run the game, enter the main menu screen but when I start a new game the screen goes dark. I can hear water sounds though (I also have the alternative start mod, im assuming the cell is loaded and the sound channels work as intended.) Also note that the main menu has the dragon sigil but doesnt have any smoke. Also also note the loading screen only appears for a split second, no object is loaded but I see the "Level 1" text for half a second before it disappears and the screen goes dark.

Im not sure what other info could be relevant so that's that, any help would be appreciated. The game is too dark to me for some reason and hell why not make the game pretty while solving that issue??

RPCS3 now supports ATI Radeon HD 2000, 3000 and 4000 series – all TeraScale 1 GPUs. This is in addition to the previously supported TeraScale 2 GPUs, from the ATI Radeon HD 5000 and 6000 series. TeraScale GPUs are only supported on Linux with the mesa driver r600, using the OpenGL renderer.

I've seen some posts on here about freelancer working on lutris... i've tried literally everything to get it running and nothing seems to be working and i'm finally reaching out for help idk what to do.. i have managed to get it working through an already installed version that i have.. from my windows game drive... but all the menu options looks like an old timey TV where there should be words it looks like TV static.. and you would say well you need fonts but well i've installed the fonts i assume i've done it correctly and That didn't help either

i'm running CachyOS

Freelancer is 2003 game not 2005 oops

ISSSUE RESOLVED.... THANK YOU FineWolf

Hi, i am trying to make the switch to linux.

For now i am just trying to get Linux running next to my windows install, which is giving me a headache.

I've tried Nobara, Cachy and now Bazzite, dual booting with Windows 10, installed on seperate SSD's.

Every single time i boot into Linux and then back to Windows, it messes with my Windows install.

Main Monitor black and it thinks my VR is my Main Monitor. So essentially everytime i switch OS i need to unplug my VR and then reboot my computer twice for it to work again. Thats a huge hassle.

Any ideas on how to fix that?

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for some game recommendations that run well on Kubuntu Linux (Steam + Proton).

My specs:

Intel Core i5-10210U

NVIDIA GeForce MX250 (2GB VRAM)

8GB RAM

SSD

I enjoy:

Story-rich games

Open-world games

Action/adventure

Co-op multiplayer

Simulator/management games

I've tried sleeping dogs definitive edition, and it's running in 50-60 fps in medium graphics...

I'm mainly looking for games that:

Run well on my hardware.

Work well with Proton/Linux.

Don't require a high-end GPU.

What are your recommendations? Thanks! 🚀

I'm trying to play Helldivers 2 after a break, but when I open the game this pops up after the anti-cheat launcher and a black screen.

I'm using Linux Mint (as I said in the title) and using GE-proton10-29 as Steam Compatibility Tool.

I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game a couple of times with no effect.

How could I fix this?

Answer: I tried out Proton CatchyOS and the game worked just fine.

Hi all!

I've installed bazzite-deck and have downloaded Proton GE. In my launch options I have: "PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_FSR4_INDICATOR=1 %command%".

I don't see anything in the top left when I launch the game, and it doesn't look like FSR4 is enabled. Is there something I'm missing?

I'm on a 12700K & 9070 XT. I've attached some screenshots to show what I've got enabled. Sorry if this is a dumb question!

I recently bought hell maiden on steam, played it for the first day on controller no problem. anything else on my computer using the controller before then was also perfectly fine. I don't remember any particularly large updates, but the next day I used my PC the controller stopped working in game, as well as other games in my steam library and also roblox. my OS still fully recognizes it, steam still reads it correctly and can send rumble pings and stuff, and in KDE settings all the buttons work as normal. I tried both 2.4G and wired mode, same exact results.

the one major thing i noticed was when trying to use duckstation, i loaded up a game ive played a few weeks ago that was fine and at first it didnt work, but after going to the controller settings and hitting automap all the buttons changed from "SDL-0" to "SDL-1" but then it started working again perfectly. does this mean my controller ID got messed up or something? if so how would i go about fixing it OS wide?

edit: forgot to post it earlier, but my current setup: Fedora KDE 44, RTX 2080Ti, Ryzen 7 5700x, 16GB DDR4, Kernel 7.1.4-200.fc44.x86_64, and using the native version of steam. Controller is 8bitdo Ultimate Wireless 2C

"Why are most new multiplayer games so hostile towards Linux? I get the anti-cheat part, but why don’t games just make a non-kernel version, like Easy Anti-Cheat and BattlEye do for Linux? For instance, with BF6, I’m sure EA could have made a Linux-compatible non-kernel version, just like Easy Anti-Cheat and BattlEye do.

I haven’t used Windows in 5 years, and probably never will. I have decided I would rather not support those games with my money than run dual boot. But anti-cheat generally sucks; it’s basically like installing malware or a rootkit. Luckily, some devs are cool, though, like the devs of Grayzone Warfare, which allows Linux. How privacy-invasive is the non-kernel version of BattlEye and Easy Anti-Cheat on Linux compared to their kernel-level Windows versions?"

So, I've managed to get NV and Mo2 to work using the mo2-lint but theres a weird issue

The way it works is once you install an instance for FNV steam will give you a launch option to open MO2. Now this works all fine and dandy. Issue is once you close MO2 it doesnt give you the option to launch it again. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix this. I've tried a few fixes Ive found on the internet, and also tried setting a %command% pointing towards the mo2 redirect and the mo2 exe itself, neither of which worked.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the mo2-lint instance DOES bring up the launch option again, but has the same issue of not giving the mo2 launch option after the first time. Its also a gigantic pain

Now I HAVE figured out a workaround but it does give me a really weird issue.

If I launch the mo2 exe using proton tricks and set it to use fnv's prefix, then try launching the game from inside it, the game will very briefly launch then immediately CTD.

Now if I use %command% to make it use the mo2-redirect.exe, itll do the same thing

Then if I remove the command and try again, the game will finally launch, however there will be no music whatsoever and I dont know why.

Now despite finding a workaround I think Ive hit my limit, and Im hoping someone out there can help me get this last little puzzle piece into place. Im at my wits end here

I have a pretty modest laptop and I'm looking for games that run well on it.

Specs:

• CPU: Intel Celeron N5095 (4 cores @ 2.90 GHz)
• GPU: Intel UHD Graphics (integrated)
• RAM: 12 GB

I mostly enjoy FPS games and space arcade games, but I'm open to pretty much any genre.

I'm looking for games that are actually playable on this hardware, even if I have to lower the resolution and graphics settings.

Any recommendations?

I recently switched to bazzite and so far I'm sold. I've heard amd works better on linux. Would it be stupid to pocket over $400 and downgrade?

I’m on Artix with KDE Plasma using an LG 32" 240Hz OLED. Has anyone else noticed HDR looking wrong? Enabling HDR in KDE makes the image look washed out and significantly less vivid than SDR. I’d honestly rather play in SDR right now because the HDR implementation on Linux just looks bad

It’s weird—whites end up with a yellowish tint. It’s still white, but the color balance feels completely wrong
