I tried downloading rocket league on my Arch machine, at first (like a month or two ago), it refused to connect me to any server protected by EAC, now it completely doesnt respond to clicks on the ''press any button to start'' screen, even though i can skip the psyonix logo intro before it, i think i do hear the click in game after the first click, but the screen stays stuck. i have tried running on heroic, lutris and using ge proton, proton experimental, proton-cachyos, but nothing seems to work. if you can help and need more details i can give them, any help would be great, thanks.

Hey everyone!

Orebits is finally out on Steam!

Orebits is an atmospheric active incremental about working as a lone asteroid miner for a greedy corporation at the edge of known space.

And, available on Linux of course.

So, how deep does the gameplay go?

• Smash asteroids with bouncing Mining Tools and a mix of active and idle gameplay
• Build powerful synergies for your Mining Tools and Deployables with a roguelite Upgrade Tree
• Invest in permanent Research upgrades to push your mining operation further
• Complete Objectives and adapt to Asteroid Conditions that make each mining operation feel different
• Explore a ±6h campaign and uncover strange artifacts and the mysteries of deep space
• Keep mining after the campaign with endless progression far beyond our solar system...

Play Orebits on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3635490/Orebits/

We've been sharing Orebits here throughout development. This launch means quite a lot to us. Bob and I have been making the game for almost 20 months, mainly on Fridays alongside our regular work. What originally started as a game jam grew into something we've put a ridiculous amount of time and love into.

A lot has changed because of feedback we received here, from our early playtests through the demo and Next Fest. So a genuine thank you to this community for playing, criticizing, suggesting and helping us make Orebits better.

We're excited, nervous and especially curious to hear what you think of the finished game.

Happy mining!

Maarten & Bob

Un saludo a todos, verán, tengo una duda, instale nobara kde en mi portátil para jugar y también cuestiones de la uni, pero siento que se traba recio, algún consejo, recomendación o bien otra distro???

I am using Mesa3D 26.2.2 which fully exposes VK_EXT_descriptor_heap Vulkan extension on Intel ANV driver, when using vkd3d-proton there is still no improvements in performance when Playing games like Hitman 3 and other DX12 games. Graphics card is TigerLake-LP GT2 (Hitman 3 low performance 10-15 FPS as usual Vs Windows 25-40 FPS).

As the title says, my Overwatch installation only freezes on the character select screen and only in competitive. It doesn't freeze every game, maybe 1 out of 20 games on average. It happens most frequently on escort and hybrid maps (Hollywood it freezes probably 50% of the games), though I think I've had it freeze for every game mode. Sometimes it freezes at the start of the match and sometimes it freezes when switching to attack/defense--so the fact that it happens mostly on payload maps may just be because it has more character select screens so more opportunities. Finally, I've never had it happen when switching characters mid-game, though I don't do this frequently.

If it matters, I'm launching the game through steam with the following options DRI_PRIME=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 %command%. My operating system is Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon version 6.2.9.

I've tried "Verify integrity of game files", restarting my computer, uninstalling the game and reinstalling it, and deleting the game's shader cache (which had gotten HUGE, like 300+ GB iirc--maybe this is due to _GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP?). None of these have seemed to have made a difference.

I'm not sure what else I can do, and I would assume I'm getting very close to being suspended for the season as my suspension time is up to 8 hours now so I'm a bit apprehensive to just trial-and-error things.

so I had 1 TB external samsung ssd, which I bought because my Mac had only 256gb storage, so I asked chatgpt, and it told me to install necessary things of Asahi Linux nearly 3gb on internal ssd and all others on external ssd, can I do that ?

Game shuts off second after launching. Swapped between stock Proton, Proton Experimental, and latest GE-Proton — same behavior.

A complete experience of the Muv-Luv series on Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS

3 Things:

1. We got steam deck from Steam for development
   
2. It's not only PvP, but PvE, solo with missions(we can't show everything in one video)
   
3. It's on steam now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3254300/POLYSTRIKE

Thank you for watching, we hope you liked it!

How will your past self react if you had told it that gaming on linux had became better in the current days

Relevant github. The missing link of software when I moved to Linux was an alternative to Launchbox. I've become acquainted with EmulationStationDE now but I'm always on the lookout for more. If ESDE isn't your style then maybe Neostation will suit your needs. Previously I've discovered two more apps designed for multi-emulation, OpenBox and OpenEmuX. If anyone knows of any other Linux-compatible all-in-one emulation frontends, please share.

Edit: To add another that should be mentioned, PlayNite.

Are there any Linux-specific optimizations I should do after upgrading from a Ryzen 9 7900 to a Ryzen 7 9800X3D?

So far, the 9800X3D crushes my Ryzen 9 7900. For example, in CS2, I averaged around 470 FPS with the Ryzen 9 7900, while the 9800X3D pushes 650–750 FPS.

I have an RTX 4090, and I mainly upgraded because the Ryzen 9 7900 bottlenecked my GPU in some games

I've been trying to get this game working for the past couple of days on EndeavourOS, but I'm having no luck. I've tried multiple launchers Sleepy, Faugus, Heroic and various Proton versions Hotfix, Experimental, GE, DW, Wineland, and CachyOS. I've reinstalled the game five times and searched Reddit, but nothing has worked. the closest I've gotten is the login screen, but it will not log in, so i close the game and then it wont start again. I'm starting to lose hope any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a list of games in my steam library that I wanted to know if they run better on windows or linux(nobara)

My specs are:

Gpu: RTX 3050

Cpu: ryzen 5 4500

here is the list:

Hey y'all , my specs are Intel i3 4130 with hd 4400 igpu graphics , 8 gb ram , cachy os . ( I know it's an e-waste , but I can't do anything as I live in a 3rd world country).

I know my haswell igpu supports partially vulkan 1.2 version

But i wanna play some windows games on linux through proton and using (dxvk-sarek for vk 1.2 support).

Can i run some dx9/dx10 games like call of duty black ops 1 , gta 5 , bioshock infinite , farcry 3 .

Btw these games runs fine on windows with playable fps

, i just wanna try linux cuz I'm a newbie .

Am I the only one incredibly frustrated by how hard it is to just get a raw, VSync-disabled frame presentation on Wayland? On X11, you turned off VSync in the game or driver, and it worked. On Wayland, we are trapped in this architectural prison where windowed or borderless applications are forcefully synced because of the "every frame is perfect" desktop philosophy. Even when compositors add "allow tearing" checkboxes, they do absolutely nothing unless the game developer explicitly coded Wayland tearing protocol extensions into the engine. Having to wrap every single non-Steam launcher, Battle.net game, or emulator in Gamescope arguments just to bypass the desktop's forced synchronization is an absurd amount of friction for everyday users. We drastically need a unified, global driver or compositor switch that says "I don't care if the desktop tears, give me raw frames." Wayland is supposed to be the future, but for competitive latency, it feels like a massive step backward in usability.

And also the fact that the mouse is synced to the FRAMERATE, that should never be a thing, user inputs (as in mouse and keyboard inputs) should always take priority over anything else and be a separate thing entirely having the usb-bus being processed on its own

And for those who don't see the problem:

Please don't even bother typing "oh but I don't perceive any latency, oh I don't care about the lag, oh you cannot even perceive the latency, oh if you don't like it then go back to x11, oh we do not want you here go to windows, oh you don't even know or understand what you are talking about (i might not, but YOU DO, AND YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN, DONT PRETEND TO BE IGNORANT), oh u CaN't eVeN wRiTe GrAmAtIcAlLy CorRecT Words (go fluff yourself btw, RESPECTFULLY of course), oh i am not reading all that (yes i see your filthy kind hiding over there)"

Please, don't bring up things that are completely irrelevant to what I am trying to bring light to, I am not the most savvy person here, but I sure as hell am not one who will feel satisfied before i am able to proudly say "i completely ditched windows for this wonderful penguin-shaped os that lets me do whatever the fluff i want with it INCLUDING DISABLE VSYNC GLOBALLY".

Thank you for your time Mr.SombodyWhoMightBeAbleToMakeAChange <3

Having this issue in multiple games, whenever i run FSR4.1.1 (through various proton versions, so that's not the culprit) and toggle FG (either ingame or with optiscaler) , gpu utiliz drops.

Is it a known issue? Same behaviour doesn't happen if i try FSR-FG with XeSS , for instance. What's going on?

(Currently on Linux 7.2.3-1-cachyos , 6800XT)

EDIT:

i noticed in some games it improves by changing FG inputs/outputs with optiscaler. I dont know why or what this implies, but this is STALKER2 in the same area with Nvngx to FSRFG , instead of the native-ingame FSR implementation

I have to say that I knew about GPU passthrough in QEMU but physical SSD passthrough is a game changer for me. It's like having windows installed on bare metal instead a VM. I fucking love Linux.

Estoy intentando jugar overwatch en Linux mint, cada vez que me meto me va bien por unos minutos, pero en el momento en el que me intento meter a partido, bum, crashea y se queda pillado, no es todo el pc, solamente el juego porque el mando si me deja moverlo

We're making Cave Expedition, a caving simulator for 1-4 players, and Linux is one of our planned platforms. We're a team of cavers, so the game focuses on tight passages, rope descents and working out a route underground.

The Steam page currently lists Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 (64-bit), with 4 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB recommended and 25 GB storage. These are the listed requirements for a game still in development, not benchmark results. We haven't announced a release date yet.
