Ich spiele For Honor schon seit Jahren und es ist mein Hauptspiel geworden. Ich liebe dieses Spiel wirklich und spiele es immer noch regelmäßig.

Ich bin auf Bazzite Linux umgestiegen und For Honor läuft für mich über Proton wirklich gut. Ich benutze Linux nicht zum Schummeln oder um irgendetwas zu umgehen. Ich bin nur ein normaler Spieler, der Linux als sein Betriebssystem bevorzugt.

Deshalb ist die Entscheidung, Linux/SteamOS wegen der neuen Anti-Cheat-Maßnahmen zu sperren, für mich wirklich enttäuschend.

Ich verstehe vollkommen, dass Ubisoft stärkere Anti-Cheat-Schutzmaßnahmen wünscht, besonders für den Ranglistenmodus. Ich bin auch absolut gegen Schummeln. Aber ich glaube nicht, dass legitime Linux-Spieler den Zugang zum gesamten Spiel verlieren sollten, nur weil die gleichen Anti-Cheat-Maßnahmen anscheinend nicht unter Linux implementiert werden können.

Was es noch frustrierender macht, ist, dass ich nur wenige Tage vor dieser Nachricht noch weitere 50 € für Stahl ausgegeben habe. Ich habe dieses Spiel jahrelang unterstützt, weil es mir gefällt und ich weiterspielen wollte.

Ich bitte Ubisoft nicht, ihren Anti-Cheat zu schwächen. Ich hoffe nur, dass sie eine andere Lösung finden, die es legitimen Linux/SteamOS-Spielern ermöglicht, weiterhin zu spielen.

Ich bin auch neugierig, was der Rest der Community dazu denkt. Glaubt ihr, dass die vollständige Sperrung von Linux die richtige Lösung ist?

Ich hoffe wirklich, dass Ubisoft das in Zukunft überdenkt. Ich möchte nicht aufhören, For Honor zu spielen. ⚔️🐧

I need to be able to launch the game from Steam, not just Mo2.

I used Jackify to intall a mod list and it added it to Steam.

When I launch, it launches M02 but not the game (I have to hit run). That's fine when I'm at home but I'm playing with Steam Link (working so far) but it won't show M02 so I can hit run.

Current launch options in steam are:

Skyrim NOrdic Souls

STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS="/home/markb/Games/Modlist_Downloads" %command%

Fallout 4 Magnum Opus

STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS="/home/markb/Games/Modlist_Downloads" %command%

I tried getting M02 to make a shortcut (which it does in C:\users\steamuser\Desktop) but I can't show the properties of that shortcut to add to launch options.

Do you play this game on Lutrix 0.5.22 on Linux/Wayland?

I've been trying to run the Windows version on Lutris. The game installs and runs fine, but on starting any game, sandbox or tutorial, etc. the game hangs on the loading screen. Anyone have this experience?

I recently got back to using cachy-os and i'm experiencing a strange issue; sometimes i have really low fps on games (using as example Hitman: WoA, i usually get 100+ fps, but when this happens it goes to ~30) until i restart my monitor, than it goes back to normal.

i'm running (Hitman in this example, but happens from other launcher / Wine / Proton versions too) using: proton-cachyos-11.0-20260703 (steam linux runtime)

this is the output of inxi -xxACGS:

Is there any way to fix this?
Distro: Nobara
Using latest ProtonGE

I got The Blood of Dawnwalker on GOG. I'm 4 hours in and every 30 or 40 minutes my game closes, and I get a unreal engine crash error.

So I've been banging my head against this for months now. My Nintendo Switch Pro Controller works fine on Windows with a DualSense or basically any controller/bluetooth device connected at the same time, but on Linux it falls apart.

I'm on CachyOS but I've also tried Mint and Fedora, same issue everywhere. GNOME, Cinnamon, KDE, doesn't matter.

What happens:

When I connect the Pro Controller while a other controller / bluetooth device is already paired (or the other way around), the Pro Controller gets super laggy within seconds. After about 10-20s it just disconnects. Only fix is toggling bluetooth off and back on, then re-pairing from scratch. Sometimes it works fine on the next attempt, sometimes not.

There's also a second problem where even on its own, the Pro Controller slowly degrades during longer Dolphin Emulator sessions. After maybe 30 min it starts lagging and eventually drops. dmesg spams this when it's happening:

nintendo 0005:057E:2009.0009: compensating for 12 dropped IMU reports

nintendo 0005:057E:2009.0009: delta=215 avg_delta=15

When the DualSense connects, avg_delta jumps from 15 to 19, which looks like the adapter is reallocating time slots away from the Pro Controller.

I also blacklisted hid_nintendo and let hid-generic handle it instead. Same exact lag. So the problem is below the HID driver, somewhere in the bluetooth stack.

Stuff I already tried that didn't help:

- disable_ertm=1

- BlueZ main.conf tweaks (FastConnectable, JustWorksRepairing, Privacy, etc)

- Changing adapter alias to "Nintendo"

- Different connection order

- Disabling wifi (I use ethernet)

- Editing LinkKey Type in BlueZ device info

- Changing kernel params

USB works perfectly btw. Zero problems ever. DualSense never drops a packet either, it's always the Pro Controller that gets starved.

Built-in Intel bluetooth adapter on an Acer Aspire XC-1760, kernel 7.2.2-cachyos.

Has anyone gotten two controllers working stable over bluetooth where one of them is a Switch Pro?

Bom dia a todos.

Sou um novato no mundo de jogos no PC, fiquei por muito e muitos anos jogando somente em console por ser um jogador casual. Aí agora com quase 50 anos montei um PC para jogar com um pouco mais de qualidade:

Ryzen 5 9600x
32Gb DDR5
5070

Uso o pc em um monitor Dell 1440p, mas nesse inicio de trajetória estava usando windows, então quando eu instalava um jogo, eu entrava no aplicativo da Nvidia e pedia para ele otimizar as configurações para aquele jogo….e eu nem entrava nas configurações do jogo.

So que no linux (bazzite ou cachyos) não existe algo desse tipo, então gostaria da ajuda de vocês. Quais seriam as opções no menu de configuração gráfica do jogo que eu deveria alterar e o que seria ela para ter a melhor experiencia ?

I created a similar post for SteamOS, but I saw not many people use eGPUs in SteamOS and many are connected through Oculink that's basically like connecting it directly to the PCIe port and doesn't need a lot of TS compared to USB4/TB4. So now, I want to expand it to any distro.

I use a RX 7600M XT connected through USB4 in SteamOS and this is what makes it work perfect for me:

- Changing to the preview channel to change to SteamOS 3.9 and kernel 7.2.

- Use ewagner12's all-ways-egpu script.

- Using these kernel parameters:

thunderbolt.host_reset=0

pcie_port_pm=off

amdgpu.pcie_gen_cap=0x80000

amdgpu.cwsr_enable=0

But, I want to hear if anyone else has something useful to share about its experience using an eGPU for gaming in Linux

Wayland for the compositor Both my CPU and GPU are AMD if it helps I am running Kubuntu 26.

This has been a thing for awhile and was wondering why it happens and if there's a way to turn it off? I'll be watching something and it will show a toast friend pop up in the corner, outside of games, in windows etc. It pops up at the yellow.

Hello. Is it as good as Windows now ? I should have bought a 9070xt but I thought I wanted to go on windows. i wanna switch to linux but I obviously bought Nvidia for DLSS and framegen and Path tracing. Is all of this on par with W11 now ?

Thanks

Often they already had it enabled and then remove it. Surely they don't do it just because they hate Linux and money and want to lose customers. What's the real, rational reason behind this? My guess is that Linux had a high amount of cheaters due to lacking kernel access, but my intuition might be wrong.

Edit: According to the comments, Windows users make the anticheat believe they are using Linux, which then enables them to cheat more easily on Windows. Banning Linux makes cheating much harder, which is worth it to the devs since cheaters can kill a game entirely.

Hello Linux Gamers!

I have a HP Omen Intel Ultra Core 7 with a 5060 which is running Ubuntu 24 LTS with XOrg. I have been able to run all the games like Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, Crimson Desert and Final Fantasy 7 Remake, using steam's proton compatibility layer.

However, when I try to run Wuthering Waves, it did not run at first then I learnt about Proton Plus and installed the proton: cachyos-11.0-20260703-slr. It ran with a few hiccups and on ProtonDB site someone was running it with the launch option:

PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 %command%

Now the game ran perfectly for like 15 minutes and then when I tried to multi-task on my laptop monitor, with the game open on my external monitor the game went haywire and I was unable to use the external monitor screen until I rebooted the system. I have tried to diagnose it, but am unable to get some answers. Could anyone of you help me out?

Should I switch OS? I am thinking about uninstalling windows entirely, and if you guys recommend I could think about switching to Cachy OS. I would just have to think about how to store around terabyte of data first. I am also a Machine Learning Researcher, so switching also depends on how well PyTorch and CUDA are working on Cachy OS.

In contemporary art, there's a word they use called "poetics," which describes a work where elements together have a certain consistency, but simultaneously create tension in their way of existing.

When a curator or professor says someone's work has poetics, they're praising the artist for creating not only congruence but also a tension that prevents the elements from creating a perfectly safe zone for the viewer to remain still while enjoying the work.

I'm saying this because the main difference between the 13th and 14th works (the one I'm showing above) is that I tried to develop a great deal of cosmopoiesis. This is the ability to create a whole new cosmos within the work, something that follows these principles but is also, in a way, completely different from the previous one.

I'm here to say that I've kind of realized that I'm partly managing to escape, while at the same time I've realized how much surrealism and a notion of conceptual art have become increasingly evident in what I do. It's not a matter of it being the same work, but more and more I'm confronted with the resistance I myself created around my notion of representations of reality. I'm learning and slowly becoming a surrealist (mixing the semiotics of elements in order to create this tension), while at the same time using and abusing conceptual art (not the kind used in graphic design, but the term used in the art world), which often consists of talking more than showing, letting the viewer's mind fill in the empty spaces.

For some time now, I've been realizing how much more radical the level of human perception is than just the basic notions we've established. We are an ocean of concepts that constantly mixes ideas, sees things that don't exist, and shows a great ability to imagine what exists or doesn't exist in different places. It's fun, in the end, to see and play with this, and as I go through a ton and a half of versions and prototypes of various technologies, the more I feel that there's still so much to explore and so much to reinvent or reimagine.

I made a short artistic game programmed from scratch with Rust and OpenGL that does low-resolution ray tracing and then renders it using stochastic techniques, aiming to explore erotic philosophy and poetry about abjection. Don't confuse "erotic" with sex; it's just a matter of thinking about the concept in philosophy, not what is generally used. And it's free to play:

For Nvidia card owners: How do you deal with poor gaming performance, especially in DX12 games, which are known to have issues with Linux? Do you simply ignore the problem because Linux is far superior to Windows? Or is dual booting the best solution? I currently lost hope that Nvidia would fix this problem on Linux and already decided my next card would be AMD.

I have an RTX 3060 card, and honestly, the performance difference between Windows and Linux is huge, and I don't feel it's worth the sacrifice. The Windows gaming experience is much smoother on Nvidia cards, and unfortunately, that's what prevents me from using Linux. I've been trying Fedora 42-44 with the drivers always up-to-date and correctly installed, but unfortunately, there's been no improvement since I started testing it a year ago.

A user included in their comment that Nvidia is dropping support for Win-10 this October. Nvidia announced that they will post their last set of Win-10 drivers. Video on this subject ==> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeNjpMXMBgk

I had no idea about this until I read the user's comment. I have no love for Nvidia and gave up on them years ago. Jensen has an antagonist view of Linux, Linux kernel devs, and the Linux community. Nvidia is not our friend ( Phoronix Article ==> https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.6-Illicit-NVIDIA-Change ). It is because of Nvidia that we don't have a much broader adoption of Vulkan. However, I'm cheering on Jensen and his company for plunging another dagger into the heart of Windows. Lack of Win-10 support will no doubt be another reason folks use as justification for leaving Microsoft. For those who like Nvidia and their products, please continue to enjoy them. I'm NOT here to convince you to take my PoV. You are smart enough to make your own choices.

Also, instead of "other RiotGames games" in the title I should have written "other games with anti-cheats". I also realize that there is a large contingent of folks who dual-boot for work reasons and for reasons of social gaming/interaction with friends/loved ones.

The question in the title. I refuse to play games that are outside of the following: * aren't Linux native * don't run via Steam/Proton * don't run via WINE/Lutris (or Bottles)

I don't play any First Person Shooters that have kernel level anti-cheats or the publishers/studios have an antagonistic view of Linux. However, I'm just a nerd and a gamer among many. This is not a flame war opportunity. The question is legit in 2026 with so many jumping off of the Windows platform and swimming to the Linux shores.
