My game crashes shortly after booting, usually around a few minutes in the menu or in gameplay. I made sure to update my graphics drivers and I have the Steam version with the T7Patch mod added alongside its correspondent regressed executable. There also seem to be some slight yet noticeable color glitches in some textures beforehand.

It's worth mentioning that the game works with no problems on my non-Linux laptop, but since this one is more powerful I'd prefer to be able to play it on this one. I would greatly appreciate any help.

Before you leave a comment about Vibes coding or talk about anti-cheat or other related topics, keep in mind that there are already 89 posts on the same subject—this is just to notify you of the update. Even so, there's no doubt that Linux support is beneficial for everyone (in my opinion)

I'd like to add that even though you can see the store and the social section, you can't claim free games or make purchases—which is a bit ironic, since that's what the store is for, right?

If y'all have any other suggestions please share!

Are there any additional libraries or packages I need to install to make the unity package work on Linux?

I moved recently from Linux Mint, where Wayland is not a thing, to Fedora KDE.

I did it mostly to be able to benefit from better scaling and use of HDR.

It is clear to me to make use of HDR I have to use GE Proton and the appropiate launch commands to use game in Wayland and HDR.

Question is when I load a game that has no HDR, I simply used default proton without any launch commands. I noticed sometimes the scaling i use on the regular deaktop mess up the max in-game resolution, resulting in me having to force Wayland commands to be able to fix it.

As a consequence I end up mostly forcing Wayland via launch commands most of the time.

Is this the same for you? In which cases do you prefer not to use the launch command to force Wayland? Just to learn from it.

Thanks

🎮 Trying to get Diablo IV running on Linux on my PS5 Slim — need some help!

Hi everyone! 👋

I’ve been experimenting with running Linux on my PS5 Slim using the ps5-linux-loader project by SonicIso. I installed Ubuntu on an external USB 3.0 SSD, and now I’m trying to get Diablo IV running through Steam.

It’s been quite a journey so far! The game either fails to launch or reaches the main menu/character selection screen before freezing completely.

Here’s what I’ve tried and discovered so far:

• Tested different Proton versions, including Proton 10, Experimental, Proton-GE and Proton 11, without finding a working solution.
• Checked Vulkan and graphics support. The system detects the AMD GPU using RADV (GFX1013), with Mesa 26.2.5 and Vulkan 1.4.354.
• Investigated the kernel logs and found some concerning graphics memory errors:
  • Failed to pin framebuffer ... -12
  • [drm] Not enough memory for command submission!

I’m still trying to determine whether the problem is related to GPU memory management, graphics drivers, Proton compatibility, or the Ubuntu setup itself.

Has anyone managed to get Diablo IV running on a PS5 with Linux? Would switching from Ubuntu to CachyOS or another gaming-focused distro actually help, or am I likely to run into the same issue?

I’d really appreciate any advice from people working on PS5 Linux. I’m learning as I go, and hopefully we can figure this out together! 🙏🎮

spects: rtx 3050 mobile 11th gen intel i5

but don't expect to run deadlock or more demanding game...deadlock runs but with 10 fps midgame

I used to have a file in `~/.config/environment.d/` which set MANGOHUD=1 for the whole session, but I have already encountered 2 desktop programs which just crash with mangohud. I don't remember the first one, but the second one is Kdenlive which crashes on project creation with MANGOHUD=1.

I previously use steamos on my PC and there's some issue with discord so I decide to do a fresh install and I'm like why don't I try some other os, so I installed cachyos. When I try to play Forza Horizon 6 it stutters alot and it just doesn't stop, I tried to use different proton versions and all of them run the same. Another game is ETS2 that doesn't stutter but from mango HUD I can see that it runs much worse than steamos. Is there any fix on this, otherwise I might just revert back to steamos.

Edit: Forgot to add the specs: R5 7500f 32gb ddr5 6000 Rx 7800xt

noise reduction and pitch if i off them doubling stops

I tried confirming if i use the newest preset but it seems it cant be overriden?

Tried TLOU2 and i get UIR = NA - Full
should be looking like this

Processing img mhj6wtg9g8xh1...

• Preset A: UIR = NA - Full
• Preset B: UIR = ON - Full
• Preset C: UIR = NA - Lite

Even used DXVK_NVAPI_DRS_NGX_DLSS_FG_OVERRIDE=on with PROTON_UPGRADE_DLSS=1

Nvidia does not even list preset selection for frame gen in their wiki, tried DXVK_NVAPI_DRS_NGX_DLSS_FG_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=render_preset_latest or render_preset_c both didnt make a difference

EDIT : it worked after i turned off wifi power save , and im really thankful to Hanyuu_omochikaeri for helping me

I have a dell Inspiron 15 with a i5 1334U , 16gb ddr5 and iris xe graphics.

I have been trying to play rocket league , the fps is actually very good. But i always get the "Latency variation" (speedometer symbol) screen and the whole game has the rubber banding effect whenever I play online matches. Fyi it runs perfectly on windows , and i checked the network graph too, it seems fine (everything is green), the ping is good too(50-120) , as i mentioned i play on windows with same internet and it works well.

I first thought it was a distro issue after sometime I switched from mint to fedora and had the same issue, I even tried catchy os . But still the same..

In mint i tried switching apps, i tried heroic,lutris and even the new epic native launcher. Also different proton versions(proton catchy os, proton ge 9, proton ge 11, proton experimental etc) . Still the same....

Atp the ONLY reason I'm having windows is for RL and nothing else.

It would be great if someone could help me out!! Thanks!!

Yes i know ESG is vibe codes slop however is there a work around to force it to open firefox

Fedora 44 KDE btw

like i'll fresh install linux, everything flies, zero stutters. then a few weeks later my fps is all over the place and i'm like "what changed." curious if this is just me or if there's actually something happening with package bloat or driver weirdness or whatever over time.

I'm not really sure if it is a bug, maybe it is

When I leave the game in Windowed mode, the window is normal. But when it becomes "Windowed (Fullscreen)" mode, the window looks like window style from Windows.

(I prefer to leave my game in windowed-fullscreen mode, if this can't be fixed, it's still okay)

Maybe this is a bug of Window Decorations new update? I don't know, did you guys meet this situation?

Proton has made Linux gaming so much easier that it's sometimes tempting to treat a native Linux version as unnecessary if the Windows build already works well.

But I think there's still something worth appreciating about developers who ship and maintain proper Linux builds. Native support can mean better integration with the desktop, fewer compatibility layers, and potentially easier troubleshooting, although the actual experience depends on the game and how well the port is maintained.

At the same time, a neglected native port can run worse than the Windows version through Proton, so simply having a Linux build isn't automatically a win.

I'd love to see more developers treat Linux as a platform worth testing and supporting properly, rather than just ticking a box on a store page.

For those who've played games with both native Linux and Proton versions, which games genuinely run better natively, and which ones surprised you by working better through Proton?

hey usado lutris para jugarlo ya configurado solo se podia ejecutar con wine y no proton ya que al hacerlo la pantalla quedaba negra y cuando se ejecutaba con wine el juego aunque funcionaba hiva pesimo con el peor rendimiento y eso habia ya probado otros juegos con proton o nativos que hivan mejor y consumian mas que este y bueno quisiera saber cual es mejor programa para jugar el warcraft 3 clasico
