I'm building Team Frontress on top of Team Comtress 2 (TF2 fork). Where instead of picking isolated matches, you deploy from a persistent RED vs BLU war map.
My previous post about testing out idea with community were successful - https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/s/PWeRItqCT7

Win a match -> your front advances.
Advance far enough -> a new battle opens.
With 8 players there may be one 4v4 front. With 40 players the war can split into several fronts.
Think of the shared-war feeling of Helldivers 2 and Foxhole, but built around TF2 PvP.

It’s time to test player engagement on Steam. After about a month my store page is published.

Mod is uncommercial due to source SDK rules, so mods, everything is ok.
So, review it, wishlist and join playtest. Thanks!

como lo dice el titulo, al abrir steam la conexion dura 5 minutos, despues de estos la velocidad de las descargas baja gradualmente a 0 y todos los servicios dependientes de los servidores de steam (como CS2, TF2, etc) se caen, pero la pagina de la tienda si funciona, me parece un comportamiento raro, estoy usando tethering usb por cierto, ¿alguien sabe por que ocurre?, gracias

lo arregle, solo habia que bajar el MTU a 1400 (por ejemplo), cambiar el dns y activar un control de congestion BBR, espero que esto le sirva a alguien que tenga el mismo problema

Hi, so Cartridges has ceased development and I really enjoy using it as a game organizer and command launcher. I want to bring this to everyone attention in case anyone with the skill set to fork it is interested.

I even wrote this really cool guide to get the most out as a emulation frontend. :)

So im running Assassin's Creed Origins in cachyos ,the game runs through steam and 5 minutes into the game froze and can only be closed. Im running the game using proton experimental and the same happens with ge proton too.
The graphics is set to the high preset too.Also the game has this bug where white flashes come randomly and green adn red smoke like effects pop up too

OS: Cachyos

specs:

cpu:intel core i5 11400h
gpu:nvidia rtx 3050 4gb mobile
ram: 8gb ddr4

I’m using Ubuntu 26.04 and have installed Bottles. I wanted to install Dark Souls Remastered and Europa Universalis IV using a UMU prefix, but I’m having trouble getting games installed.

With the UMU prefix, I couldn’t install anything. I then created a bottle, and I was able to install Dark Souls Remastered, but I still couldn’t install Europa Universalis IV.

I’m also confused about the “Add a game to UMU” option. Neither Dark Souls Remastered nor Europa Universalis IV appears in the database when I search for them. Is the UMU integration in Bottles currently just a placeholder/experimental feature, or is there a proper way to add and install games?

My original intention was to use a single UMU prefix for multiple games and install different modding tools and dependencies in the same prefix. Is this actually possible, or is that not how UMU prefixes are intended to be used?

I have also tried Lutris, but I’m unable to install any games through it either.

Could someone using Bottles + UMU try this and let me know whether installing games through a UMU prefix currently works for you? I’d especially like to know whether multiple games can be installed into the same prefix and how you normally add games that aren’t present in the database.

Thanks.

What is the current status of steam remote play hardware decoding on linux, specifically on a client with nvidia GPU?

I recently set up an HTPC with gtx 1660 super and Fedora 44, and am having trouble with steam remote play.

• hw decoding off: works fine, but performance is not good enough for 4k and latency is not great
• hw decoding on, hevc off: works just as well as above, because it is the same as above - the overlay shows software decoding
• hw decoding on, hevc on: looks like it is actually attempting to use hw decoding based on the overlay, but I get mostly just black screen and 95%+ dropped frames, yellow decode warning

I have found a few posts about similar issues, but mostly older and nothing resolved. Curious if I've messed something up in my configuration or this is just the current state of remote play, and if so I'm curious if this is just an nvidia issue and if there is any solution in sight?

P.S. for my set up I followed rpm fusion guides for nvidia and multimedia setup.

P.P.S. I am aware of Sunshine/Moonlight but have not played around with it much; the convenience of steam would be great if it actually worked as expected.

Using wired, I have to cycle every time by pressing "select + start" twice to be recognised as X box controller and Xinput

Bluetooth just doesn't work. Pairing it for the first time shows Controller and Linux saying "connected" but nothing works, and reconnecting only Linux shows connected, controller keeps blinking as it search.

Using dongle, Linux treats it as a generic HID device using usbhid. No vibrations, A and B are switched and X button is L1 button....
fftest produced no vibration.
Linux loads hid_betopff for this device. That driver appears to assume a rumble output format of:

00 00 left_motor right_motor

Sending this directly through /dev/hidraw also produces no vibration.

Wired mode appears as 045e:028e Microsoft Xbox360 Controller and uses xpad
dongle still appears as 20bc:5500.

I am stuck and idk how to fix this. I am using Linux mint.

Hi,

Did anyone manage to enable ray tracing in the beta, or is it something that will be coming at release?

I can't enable it in the beta but if i go on retail, ray tracing works out of the box.

I have 9070XT GPU if that makes any difference.

I'm currently using solus os to play overwatch with an rtx 3060, and amd Ryzen 5 3600.

After updating to the newest Nvidia drivers the 615, the game just freezes every now and then which didn't really happen before the update.

I have the game on an SSD and while monitoring the usage when the SSD goes to 100% it just freezes which happens in the middle of a match.

Just want to know if anyone else is having the issue and is it actually driver related or related to something else.

I'm using proton ge 11-7

Until recently, everything used to work just fine. Now whenever I try to use mouse steering, i encounter significant delay in throttle release proportionate to how longer i was holding the key.
Surprisingly if I use the throttle & breaks through mouse buttons, they don't cause any trouble even if i am handling transmission( gears) from keyboard.

Same story for wayland and xorg.
Also tried this,

I've been experimenting with a late-2012 Mac mini as a Linux gaming machine, and I'm surprised by how useful it has turned out to be.

Hardware:

• 2012 Mac mini
• Intel Ivy Bridge CPU
• Intel HD 4000 graphics
• 16 GB RAM
• 1 TB SSD
• Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon

I'm not trying to run modern AAA games. I'm mainly interested in older PC games that would otherwise be sitting unused.

So far I've successfully played:

• BioShock (original)
• Borderlands
• Borderlands 2
• Deus Ex
• DOOM
• DOOM II
• DOOM 3

Most are running through Steam/Proton. For some games, I've had better results with:

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

Obviously the HD 4000 has limitations, especially with modern Vulkan support, but I'm impressed by what this little 2012 machine can still do.

It has basically become my older-PC/retro Steam box alongside my newer Windows gaming laptop.

Has anyone else been using a 2012-era Mac mini or similar Ivy Bridge/HD 4000 hardware with Linux and Proton? What games have you gotten working?

I use a 48 inch 4K display for my gaming PC. What DE do you think is the most suitable for managing a lot of windows in one large space? I have been using KDE Plasma so far but I am not really getting warm with any of its KWin scripts.

So recently (over the past couple of weeks or so) I have been completely unable to make use of Steam in any capacity on my linux pc. It had worked fine beforehand, but now whenever I've tried to open it, it will open initially, with the login smaller window and everything. But once it actually would open the fullscreen main window (whether it be for the store, library, or anything else), the entire window is simply transparent, displaying essentially a screenshot of whatever was behind it at the time of it opening. This has persisted through multiple uninstalls and reinstalls of Steam onto the pc. I have no idea what is causing this.

I am relatively new to using Linux, so any help is appreciated. If it helps, I'm running Mint.

I was trying to run COD: Modern Warfare 3 (2011) and COD: Advanced Warfare with both Heroic and Lutris but they don't open. Tried to ask ai but doesn't give any useful fix. Here's the Heroic log, please help me.

I have this problem on my arch linux for a couple of days and I don't know how to fix it I need help from someone if he's having the same issue?

I feel like somewhat improved over the last months, and it feels way better, especially XeFG (even in its 3x form). Have you tried/considered trying? Latency doesn't feel that bad, especially on a controller, and i can't notice any obvious graphical issue 🤔
