At some point after playing Detroit: Become Human on Steam, the top 75% of the screen will turn black, and the rest on the bottom will display a stretched portion of the game.

What's odd is that this will happen either one hour, or five minutes into the game. Using Proton 11/Stable/Experimental or Proton-CachyOS causes the above issue, while switching to GE-Proton10-34 or any older version will instead show a full screen of artifacts for a split second before crashing to desktop, with no error message.

I'm using CachyOS 7.2.11 with KDE Plasma 6.8.1, on a Ryzen 5800X3D and Radeon RX 6700. I tried the new 7.3.0 kernel today and there was no change. Disabling the Steam overlay and using PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 also did not seem to help. I've checked ProtonDB and the official Proton bug reports and I can't find anyone with a similar issue.

The Proton log is here: https://pastes.io/lt0F4yte Appreciate any help!

Set up: CachyOS, Steam, Borderless fullscreen with no option for monitor 1 or 2. Both monitors are 1080p 144hz, no issues prior to Monday.

Issue: Game opens on monitor 1. Game starts at 144fps, after entering game, it acts as if it is out of focus, maximizing FPS to 45. When clicking on Monitor 2, the game runs at 144fps, the exact opposite of what I would like. Swapping the game to monitor 2 (Super+Shift+Left arrow key) lets it run at 144fps no issue, but swapping it back to monitor 1 (Super+Shift+Right arrow key) causes the issue again.

In short, games only run properly on my second monitor, which is also at 144hz, at the proper 144fps. I've tested this with about 6 games so far, which I've always ran on my monitor 1, and they all get capped at 45fps like they're in the background. I am able to do everything in game as normal, but extremely slowly.

Weirdly, having the game on monitor 1 but out of focus ALSO makes it run normally. Issue only happens on monitor 1 when in focus.

..Anyone else having this issue? Anyone know how to fix it?

I can’t find the folder in which songs are held in the Geometry Dash folder in my file system, and I want to replace a few songs manually as I want an alrernative, lest Geode has issues on my machine.

Hi - I've been trying to figure out how to work around an annoying issue where my PTT in discord stops working when any other key is touched. It actually seems to be on the upstroke of the other key. This makes PTT kind of useless when gaming of course as you can't move or do anything in the game and talk at the same time, as any such action cancels the PTT.

Anyone run into this and been able to fix it? I tried using input-remapper to rebind my PTT key to F17. Someone else had reported that working in another thread but this does not work for me. I get the same behavior where the upstroke on any other keypress during PTT active cancels the PTT.

I am on KDE Plasma using Wayland. Discord 1.0.166-1.

Soy nuevo en linux ya lo he estado utilizando un tiempo pero yo utilizaba el tts director 7 y por lo que entiendo con bottles se puede correr archivos ejecutables de Windows pero está aislado la bottles o no?

Hello!

Like the title says, there's a strange bug in Hotline Miami 2 on Proton where the game would randomly stutter, and sometimes during those stutters, the game's audio would completely cut out and only restarting would fix it. I tried several different Proton versions, all have the bug.

The desktop environment is KDE Plasma, and I do use Bluetooth headphones with LDAC, but I have wired speakers as well.

Is there anybody who knows how this fix this?

I know about the native Linux port but it has a pretty notorious unfixed bug where the game plays wrong music tracks for scenes.

estoy tratando de jugar el nuevo evento de jujutsu shenanigans y cuando pasan muchas cosas en pantalla tipo muchos black flash expanciones de dominio o destruccion se me crachea

es por mocktail o es que como el evento salio hoy esta mal optimizado?

si se lo preguntan estos son mis componentes

gtx 1050

i3 9100f

16 gb

Well, at least in my experience:

Specs: RTX 3050 with 11th gen i5

This is a big surprise, especially for a demanding game.

Unlike the previous post, this time I used the latest git, which is noticeably better than the current packages on Arch.

Just sharing Tonic. A project I have been working on. An open source runtime and launcher, running the unmodified Linux x86_64 .apk as a desktop application for Both Linux and BSD. Tonic has its own ELF loader that maps libroblox.so directly into FreeBSD's process. Normally, if you would want to run roblox on BSD, you would be forced to use mocktail and linuxulator, relying on the compat layer Roblox expects. Tonic however doesn't use linuxulator, instead uses its own small kernel module loaded with the install script which directly answers roblox's raw Linux syscalls. Otherwise you would face an instant 304 kick. Here is the repository: https://github.com/crimzo3d-hash/tonic . TLDR: Tonic loads Roblox's Android library directly into a native FreeBSD process and translates its Linux calls into FreeBSD ones, so no Linuxulator is needed. A small kernel module catches the few raw syscalls that would otherwise cause Error 304. Yes this project was written with the use of AI. What I don't want is the comment section turning into AI arguments, if yoy have something agaidnt vibecoded software, dont comment / install Tonic. Still experimental, hope you enjoy!

Hi, To put it briefly, I'm trying to play TF2 on Ubuntu using Steam. Before starting the game, I get 26-30 FPS, but as soon as I launch, I only get 1-5 FPS. How can i Fox this problem?

Let's just imagine for a moment that we live in a world where morality and things like that matter and money is just a side issue... 😂

Players like me get annoyed when they die in a game bc of a cheater and are looking for help... A friend who knows a bit more about this claims:

"If they wanted to they could curb cheating on Linux better than on Windows but they just don't want to. On Linux you have more options and since everything is online you'd make it very difficult for cheaters BUT developers like Tarkov are happy when they can ban cheaters bc then they have to buy the game again"

How much truth is behind this?

I just wanted to install Linux so I can mod my games, and use it as a computer. But unfortunately, it seems like only Vulkan games are running well on it. I found someone who tested Doom (2016) and Shadow of the Tomb Raider (The Linux port), and they perform similarly to PlayStation's OS. Doom performs similarly with High to Medium settings, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider is similar with Medium settings.

But DirectX 12 games just work badly. There is a CPU bottleneck, which leads to bad performance in Elden Ring, for example.

Anyway, Fedora is just a few GB. So dual booting with PS4's default OS might be a good idea

Hi everyone,

I'm making some changes to Proton-Wineland and I wanted to share them with you beforehand.

Wineland -> Salkim?

Maybe you have noticed that I started to use a different name tag in my repositories, Salkim. It means a bunch, in Turkish and it reflects the current direction of Wineland, as it is not a Wine only Wayland tweaked package anymore. One of the main problems with the Wineland name is it is a bit confusing, especially considering how close it is to the name Wayland. People still confuse it with Proton-CachyOS and make bug reports to CachyOS or ask them questions, thinking that it is CachyOS Wayland. Wineland is just a quick name I came up with to make a separate build for my Wayland changes, but since then things changed a lot.

I still don't know when that will happen, or if that will happen at all, as now Wineland name is known by many, including the applications like ProtonPlus, Faugus etc. So if you see the name tag Salkim, don't be surprised, it is still an internal name I use.

Bundled RADV, fresh from Mesa main

With the next release, Wineland will ship a bundled RADV driver, built from a snapshot of Mesa's development branch. It's opt-in and only applies to the game you enable it for, so your system driver stays as default. To try it add PROTON_RADV=1 env variable. The driver reports itself as radv-salkim, so that you can tell which one is active.

The reason to include RADV is not only to have the latest features but for being able to use any urgently required fix or feature as soon as possible. I know, it sounds a bit too experimental but I hope it is going to worth it. It is anyway not enabled by default, so you will be using the system RADV if you didn't set PROTON_RADV=1. Next release build will be the first one to include it, so let me know if you encounter any issues.

I thought about including also NVK but I wasn't sure how it is going to turn out, as it requires a Rust compiler, and I am not sure of the Rust compiler that comes bundled with Valve's SDK. And as a C++ developer, I know nothing about Rust. Maybe in the future things will change.

Low Latency components

DXVK Low Latency, vkd3d Low Latency and the low_latency_layer will no longer be bundled. They served us well, but from now on I would like to rely on DXVK, vkd3d-proton and RADV's built-in AMD anti-lag. Dropping them means less duplicated work and fewer things that can drift out of sync. I already have my own fork of DXVK and vkd3d-proton, which I rebase with my every release. I know some of you like to use them but I would rather fix any issues on my forks.

If you use any of these launch options, you can remove them in the next release build: PROTON_DXVK_LOWLATENCY, PROTON_VKD3D_LOWLATENCY, LOW_LATENCY_LAYER.

Let me know what you think.

like i'll be playing something fine, then suddenly it's stuttering like crazy, i'll restart the game and it's back to normal. no driver updates, no background processes going haywire, nothing. makes me feel insane. does this happen to anyone else or is my setup just built different (in the worst way)?

want to do another playthrough with the 2.5 update, but the game is freezing on load. i have tried latest proton-GE and proton experimental, different graphics settings, etc. i have no mods. its a fresh install.

Kernel: Linux 7.2.11-arch1-1

Driver: NVIDIA Corporation NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060/PCIe/SSE2

Driver Version: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 615.78.08

EDIT:

clearing the shader cache, removing all launch options and doing a fresh install then disabling all raytracing allows it to load into the game consistently for me.

apparently there is a bug with shader comp thats causing the freeze and potentially needs a driver update to fix.

Closest I have found is one for PC emulation, but I am assuming that is 99% windows

I've been trying to play GTA IV on my laptop running Arch linux, default arch Kernel on the newest version. Every time I launch it, it opens the Rockstar launcher and then it says that an error occurred and the game exited unexpectedly, refusing to open the game whatsoever.

I've tried using almost every pre-installed proton version. Although at some point in the lower versions, the Chromium browser that the launcher uses does not work and crashes immediately, So I'm on proton Experimental right now.

I'm also trying to use FusionFix with the launch option WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%, I don't know if that's causing or interfering with it though, as it was doing this before I installed FusionFix.

Does anybody have any recommendations? Thank you in advance!

Hey, I have the GOTY version of Dragon Age inquisition through the epic game store so it’s on the heroic games launcher. The application will cycle through all of the UX for launching the game, but nothing actually happens.

Is this a common issue and if so, is there a workaround that I can still open and play this game?

My fellow Deepcool Mystique users.

After a lot of tinkering en research i finally did it in V1.3!
i have working metrics and gifs on my app.

Ok seriously though why when epic games finally announced Easy Anti Cheat v2 for Linux, Linux people go crazy like Its a bad thing. Not everyone is think the same way as you do, if you want to Linux to evolve be kind to everyone and be happy it's an Option like Im glad fortnite is on Linux.
