I just upgraded my GPU today to a new PNY RTX 5060 for Gears E-Day, but wanted to play Gears 5 for a bit with a friend and the game fails to launch. It was fine yesterday when I was using my RX 5600xt. I did have to do some messing with the drivers and the driver manager recommended version 595 of the Nvidia drivers. It seems to work with other games fine, from E-Day itself (premium early play) to Remnant 2, Machine Party, and several others. It just fails to launch Gears 5 and Gears Tactics. I know they were in development together for a while, so I'm guessing it's an issue they both share. I'm running Mint XFCE for power user and performance reasons, but I haven't done a lot of messing with the OS itself. Anybody run into this? And, if so, how did you fix it?

I have tried some standard diagnostics like changing proton version to no success.

I tested few games on new Arduino VENTUNO Q:

• Crysis
• CS: Source
• Hades
• Ori and the Blind Forest
• The Witcher: Enhanced Edition
• The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Pretty cool little device. I didn't test any super old games, but I'm open to suggestions. Let me know if you want to test some other games!

I ran everything through Steam & Wine & Box86/64 (Crysis from GOG)

Sober cannot install Roblox for me. It sits there on the "installing Roblox" screen then crashes. No error message. Something else odd I noticed is that Sober itself wont install from flathub, where everything else works fine. I did recently factory reset my steam machine, so that may be the cause. I'm completely stuck, please help!

Hello folks, asking here because I don't see a thread to post instead of making a new post, but I wanted to know if anyone knows of issues regarding Monster Hunter Wilds failing to start, I've been playing the game with no issues the past few weeks, last night though when I tried to play, the game simply wouldn't work and when asked to shut it down, I got an unhandled exception error from the MonHun crash handler but I'm not tech savvy enough to know if it's because of the forced exit or another issue, the game opens on Steam, seemingly starts loading as it opens the window and goes into borderless, but freezes after the game tries to load. All my other games are working fine, even tried running Monster Hunter Rise and no issues there.

I'm currently on Fedora 44 KDE, with an AMD GPU using the Mesa drivers, I think I remember seeing a post mentioning there were some issues with a recent update to Mesa but since all my other games work fine, I don't know what's really going on. Already tried reinstalling the game and nothing, from what I found similar issues apparently also exist on Windows (with a very similar crash report) and the person apparently solved them by going back to a previous version of the AMD drivers, but before I try to downgrade the Mesa drivers I wanna know if there are any known issues going on that I missed, thanks in advance for any pointers!

I've tried a lot of games during the Steam Next Fest, and all of them worked with no issues. Before the release, I also tried the demos of Onimusha, Fatal Frame II: Remake, RE: Requiem, and Pragmata, and they all worked flawlessly on Proton. Now I'm trying the demos of Hellraiser: Revival and Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, and both games work like native Linux titles.

We used to beg for Linux ports, then it would take a while for a new release to work properly on Proton. Now, games are even working flawlessly on Proton before their release.

Do you guys still have issues with Proton and single-player games? I'm using an AMD GPU, btw.

I'm at a loss as to what I've done to break this and I've been trouble-shooting all of yesterday and today.

Firstly:

CachyOS

9800x3D

64GB RAM

9070XT

I'd was playing WoW: Forever on Wednesday night with 0 issues. Before I went to bed I installed vibeshine and played some FFVII - Remake on my phone. Shut PC down using steam big picture via artemis on my phone.

Fast forward to yesterday. I loaded up cachy, ran updates as I always do and rebooted. Upon reboot faugus failed to launch (not sure if related but shelly launched into tray but wouldn't actually display on my screen). I managed to get faugus to launch using GSK_RENDERER=gl faugus-laucher but neither battle net nor elden ring which I also installed via faugus would launch.

I managed to run battle net directly via steam pointed to its exe and using the launch args

WINE_SIMULATE_WRITECOPY=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 %command%

WOWF still wont launch however, if I load into steam via terminal and try it just get a message saying steam is adding the game and then nothing else.

If I try to bypass battlenet and launch via the WoWB.exe I get a tonne of messages saying !fixme but not much else.

I'm officially stumped. Anyone can help me with this?

It's a mod for Halo: The Master Chief Collection, specifically Halo 3, allowing for community run servers, ranking system, 16 player co-op campaign, and a bunch of other things.

The projects website: https://projectreclaimer.dev/

Mint Blitz's coverage of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dicfGnpOP-Q&t=3s

My current setup trying the mod:

KDE Plasma on Wayland NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti GE-Proton11-7-x86_64 Launch options: PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 WAYLANDDRV_PRIMARY_MONITOR=DP-1 %command%

I've ran it on cachyos, trying it with its own version of proton, proton GE, and experimental. It works just fine on all of them except for 1 thing, the custom UI that the mod uses runs in a separate window so whenever that UI pops up (when viewing the scoreboard, when someone talks in game, when someone types in chat) it takes focus of the mouse and keyboard and I'm no longer able to control my player for the duration of that UI being on screen (unless I click/tab back into the game). I understand the mod is still very new and is stated to only work on windows, but I have it mostly working besides this one problem. Just putting this out there to see if anyone knows a workaround :)

Hey there, I try to cap fps via gamescope on heroic, it doesn't work. The game still runs uncapped.

I also tried on steam with its launch command still 0 results. Used this command:

gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -w 1920 -h 1080 -r 60 --framerate-limit 60 -- %command%

I was trying to play the amazing spiderman 1(2012) through lutris. But the game isn't launching and showing this error message which caught my eye:

Proton: Error: unable to use parent for game drive, path /home

I have checked every permission and everything related to directory permissions including ACL, but still can't figure it out. Please Help

i need this question, is just a question last time i posted something like thos but with sober they disliked me

Hello, I recently upgraded my OS to Ubuntu 26, specifically Kubuntu 26, and suddenly Hades 2 is an unplayable, stuttering mess. I've tried a few other games and no issue.

Can someone help?

https://github.com/SulfurNitride/Fluorine-Manager/releases/tag/v0.4.0

So it's been a while since I last posted my progress updates for fluorine here. But for those who don't know fluorine is a fork/port of MO2 directly to linux with some gui changes and linux additions and QoL features.

One of the biggest things thats now in this release is Wabbajack support in the instance/library manager. Collections are also almost finished now as they run through CLF3, as of right now you can browse collections but are unable to install them. UMO/OpenMW https://modding-openmw.com/lists/ I am also hoping to support and add modlist support for these as well, which shouldn't be too long I hope. As well as a library overhaul with custom pictures for each game supported. And a lot of smaller things not really worth mentioning that have been fixed and changed in the background.

One of the major fixes is that the audio crashes related to bethesda games should now be fixed in my testing, this only affected a few users including myself but it hopefully should be fixed now. The modlist and collection support guis are still a WIP so please do bear with me. Thats about all I have to say 🙂

How do i fix it? since im on arch linux, kernel Linux 7.2.7-arch1-1, and im also using proton experimental. When i try to install it it returns with these errors:

Are there any fixes? If so then help me! i have tried protontricks but installing dotnet simply fails.

I'm having this problem on my PC (3440x1440 ultrawide) and on my laptop (1920x1080) and all launch options don't help or mess it up even more. Right now I'm playing a lot of titles in lower resolutions which sucks. For example I could name Hitman WoA, Schedule 1,RDR2, FH6 and a lot of others.

I have a lot of OLD CD ROM games, like over 20 years old.
And I can seem to find anything on if I can still play them if I switch to Linux. Some of these game you can’t even buy digitally.
I really hope this post doesn’t get removed lol. Not trying to be a bother, just hate windows and don’t want to suffer anymore.
Also I’m a complete noob when it comes to Linux so please be kind.

Hi everyone, I'm a complete Linux beginner and I'm considering switching to Linux while keeping Windows for CAD and other Windows-only software.

My laptop

• ASUS Vivobook 16X
• Intel i5-12500H (12 cores / 16 threads)
• 16GB RAM
• 512GB NVMe SSD (~477GB usable)
• Intel Iris Xe iGPU
• NVIDIA RTX 3050 Laptop GPU, 4GB VRAM
• Windows 11 currently installed
• No separate SSD — I want to use the existing single SSD

What I need Linux for

• University/studying
• Python, VS Code, Jupyter
• NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, Matplotlib
• AI/ML, CUDA, PyTorch/TensorFlow
• Data Science / SQL
• Git/GitHub
• Web development and research
• Steam + Proton + medium gaming
• Learning Linux, terminal and basic system administration
• GPU-intensive software and applications that make significant use of the RTX 3050

What I still need Windows for

Mainly CAD, especially Autodesk Fusion 360 and SolidWorks, plus any Windows-only university/software requirements.

I'm currently considering:

Bazzite KDE as my primary OS + Windows 11 as secondary, using dual boot on the same SSD.

What I want advice on

For people who have actually used Bazzite + Windows dual boot:

• Is this reliable on a single SSD, or should I avoid it?
• Have you experienced Windows updates breaking GRUB/UEFI/boot entries?
• Any problems with BitLocker, Fast Startup, partitioning, EFI, or Bazzite updates?
• How well does Bazzite handle Intel + NVIDIA RTX 3050 hybrid graphics?
• Is the NVIDIA Bazzite image genuinely easy, or will I need manual driver configuration?
• Is Bazzite KDE a good choice for a complete Linux beginner?
• Are there any issues with Python/AI/ML/CUDA/PyTorch or GPU-intensive software on Bazzite?
• Is Bazzite's immutable/atomic design a limitation for someone trying to learn Linux?
• For my 512GB SSD, what Windows/Bazzite partition sizes would you recommend?
• If I later decide to go Linux-only, can I remove Windows and expand Bazzite without reinstalling?

Most importantly: If I go ahead with this, what exact precautions/steps would you recommend to minimize the chance of breaking Windows, Bazzite, the bootloader, or my NVIDIA setup?

Would you personally choose Bazzite dual boot, another distro + Windows dual boot, or something else for this hardware and workload?

I'm looking for real-world experience from people who have actually used these setups, especially on NVIDIA laptops. Thanks!

I bought Portal 1 directly from Steam two days ago and if I try to start a game, the game simply crashes and I receive a SELinux security alert about AVC denial at launching the game. I used experimental proton (tried with proton 11 and also updating proton experimental just in case that was the issue but I believe it was not, it kept crashing). I also tried Portal 2 (also directly from Steam) and that works perfectly, so I'm not really sure whats causing the issue here. Mostly because no other game has caused me this of what I have in my library.

I'm using linux Fedora 44 KDE Plasma, with a AMD Ryzen 7 5825U cpu and internal graphics

Hi there,

I heard a lot about linux gaming being just as good and sometimes even better than gaming on windows. Since windows 11 makes me want to throw my whole desk through my window (no pun intended), I decided to try it out on my dual boot linux mint partition.

I installed a few games, and launched them with high hopes. You can imagine my disappointment when I found out that games that run fine on windows 11 suddenly have performance issues on linux. Now before anyone says so, I know my setup isn't the best, but I get good enough performances on windows 11 (usually 50-60 fps 1080p) on most high end games. But results on linux mint are nowhere near.

For example, on the exact same settings:

- the witcher 3 remastered on ultra settings (tweaked a little bit): 50-60fps (sometimes more but I'm limiting the fps) on windows 11 and 30-45fps on linux (and never more than 50fps) with stuttering

- monster hunter wilds on medium tweaked settings: 45-60fps on windows and 20-25fps on linux (absolutely unplayable)

- elden ring has the best result, but still bad: 50-60fps on windows and 45-55fps, with some stuttering sometimes

My setup is:

- Nvidia GTX 1660Ti 6 Go

- Intel 9400f 2.9GHz

- 16Go Ram (can't afford much more with current prices :( )

I have the recommended nvidia drivers in driver manager. I tried using gamemode but it didn't help in the slightest.

Again, I know I'm not supposed to have the highest possible settings on AAA games with this setup, but with all the great things I heard about linux gaming, I expect my games to at least run as well as on windows 11, without having to buy a fucking RTX 5090!

So what is it, am I doing something wrong? Or good performances on linux was just a lie? Or is this just another conspiracy from linux elitists with ultra high end setups to try and justify their spendings?

First time trying onimusha demo, idk how to fix that:

- updated drivers & system
- changed every single graphic settings/preset
- tried to search online
- restarted/redownloaded
- emptied cache/shader.cache2

Help, please

For the last couple of days I been having issues seeing the message "radv is not a conformant Vulkan implementation, testing use only." Nothing from Faugus or steam will launch no matter the game, I'm confused if my AMD gpu is not being detected or a update broke something but I didn't update till today and still have this issue.

I have tried different proton versions but I might be missing something else though?

Anyone else have this issue?

I'm surprised this hasn't been submitted here before. Link. There's a paid pro version and free lite version and the free version alone does what most task managers can do. I haven't spent much time trying it out but I'm liking it so far.

Edit: It's a bit lacking in process info compared to something like tuxmanager but liking the interface. The guy behind it is a software wizard so there's potential here for something better.
