Screen flickering in some games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 43 Minuten 44 Sekunden

Heyhey

So I'm adding games to Lutris and this far I've had a problem with terraria and Stardew Valley where the game screen furiously flickers whenever I launch the game

In terraria I was able to fix it by disabling frame skip

In stardew valley there doesn't seem to be such an option though. Is there any way to disable it externally or smth?

Wine detects a lower Nvidia driver version that what's actually installed

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 1 Stunde 5 Minuten

I'm trying to play Ghost of Tsushima using Lutris. When I open up the game on Lutris, it gives me a warning before launching the game that my driver version is too low (it says that I have version 536.6). My actual driver version as reported by nvidia-settings is 550.78, which is still lower than the recommended 552, but still higher than 536.6 that the game says I am using.

Why is Wine failing to detect my correct driver version? I use arch, and version 552 that the game recommends is not available on the repos yet. What do I do to get the best performance until then?

Periodic disconnection from game server on LinuxGSM

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 2 Stunden 13 Minuten

I have set up a Valhiem server on a spare PC using Proxmox and LinuxGSM. I have recently had some periodic disconnections from the server whilst a friend who is connected from Finland does not get disconnected.

I have updated the server and everything thing seems to be running fine.

Any ideas why I might experience disconnections from a server 1 meter away from my gaming PC when my friend 1900 km away does not.

I am using Nobara on my PC.

My Dungeon Crawler/Puzzle Hybrid The Blood Mage is now one year old! 🩸

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 4 Stunden 15 Minuten

Hey everyone!

My small game The Blood Mage celebrates its first anniversary. The game has native support and was developed on Linux too (MX Linux if anyone wonders) with the Godot Engine.

It started out as a project for the Dungeon Crawler gamejam which you can download here completely for free.

After the jam I decided to turn it into a small commercial game - I made a new bigger dungeon, improved the graphics a bit, added support for European Portuguese, ported it to Godot 4.0.2 and polished the game even more.

The game is inspired by Myth Bearer and Deep Rune which are part of the niche genre sometimes called Fixed Value Strategy games. All of the fights are deterministic and the route which you take through the dungeon, which creatures you slay first, when you use your potions, etc. matters. It's completely normal that you get stuck and have to start again but with every try you should get further.

I got pretty good feedback and no copy of the game was returned yet :)

At the moment, The Blood Mage is 50% off and only costs 1$/1€. It takes around an hour to beat the game.

I am planning on going back to the hell-gates of windows.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 7 Stunden 49 Minuten

I have gone so crazy (actually) over trying to run and do windows stuff! Wine is not helping me out at all and I have been losing sleep over trying to run anything that isn't compressed into a tar file! Windows is slow, buggy, and confusing, but I HAVE to go back because of the exe files. I spent 2 WEEKS trying to run a steam game only for windows! I'm so unsure..

What distro should I use?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 7 Stunden 58 Minuten

I want a distro that has up to date packages, doesn't require a ton of tweaking, and one that just kinda works out of the box, and preferably a more windows like feel as i am making the move from 10+ years on windows I have used Linux before

Which Linux distribution should I choose for gaming?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 10 Stunden 53 Minuten

I only recently got acquainted with Linux when I was repairing an old laptop that couldn’t run Windows 10/11. Now I want the same for my PC, but I can’t decide which one to choose. I’ve already tried:

  1. Manjaro
  2. Arch (too complicated for me, but I managed to install it)
  3. Ubuntu (my first distribution)
  4. Linux Mint (the one I installed on that laptop)
  5. Fedora (KDE is unstable, GNOME works well)
  6. Nobara (very unstable on my PC)

I’ve only played on Manjaro, Arch, and Fedora. On the computer, only Civilization 6, through PortProton, works well if you change the operating system from Windows 10 to 7 in the settings. But the performance is less than on Windows 11. On Windows 11, I average 180-185 frames per second, on ARCH and Manjaro - 160-164 frames per second, and on Fedora - 170-175 frames per second. This is the DirectX12 version, the native Steam version on OPEN GL shows only 100-110 frames per second.

So here’s the question. Is there something more performant or am I stuck on Windows 11 forever?

My PC:

NVIDIA GTX1660

INTEL I5 9400F

2x8GB RAM 2666MHz CL15

XDefiant on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 12 Stunden 13 Minuten

From what I've heard, Xdefiant should work on Linux and Steam Deck, but to play it you need the Ubisoft Connect launcher, which I can't seem to get working on Linux. Can anyone help me or recommend a guide? I am on Mint btw.

Utilize NvOFFRUC to have Frame Generation on Nvidia Turing+ on Linux ?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Mai 2024 - 23:57

This is just my idea, based on this repo: https://github.com/zettonaender/HighFPSViewer-NvOFFRUC, which works on Windows (RTX 2060). Of course NvOFFRUC is available on any platform, and will definitely run on Turing+.

Wayland with Nvidia is working perfectly

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Mai 2024 - 23:52

I don't know how but I'm playing with Wayland on an Nvidia card with 550 driver... And it's working perfectly. The only thing I recognized to change was an update of xwayland to v24.1 that has support for explicit sync. That's why I tested if it would change anything. I tested Apex Legends, Alan Wake and I've being using Brave browser, streaming video and I'm not seeing any stutters. I'm not sure if this is the reason but it makes sense, so I wanted to post so could you try it. The only thing I don't get it's the driver. I'm on EndeavourOS with CachyOS repos. I updated it with it. Have fun! I'm really happy that this is working.

With the NHL Playoffs on, I created an NHL 04 Installer for Linux! Plus, Install 23-24 Rosters!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Mai 2024 - 23:16

I've been running the NHL04 Rebuilt project with the latest rosters on my Steam Deck since 2022. I’ve played through two full seasons without any issues, and the battery life on Steam Deck is great! To simplify the setup process—which can be a hassle with all the winetricks—I created an installer. This installer streamlines setting up NHL 04 on any Linux environment. It will guide you through the entire process, and you can easily install this year's roster thanks to the hard work of the NHL 04 Rebuilt project!

Here's as screenshot from EndeavourOS.

And one from my SteamDeck!

Some hope for Fortnite!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Mai 2024 - 23:02

So, I decided to give Fortnite a shot again, since I'm a content creator and like to test some popular titles that still won´t run under Proton to see if anything changed. Since last time I did it the changes are very interesting.
Firstly, I was able to get The Finals and Fall Guys, that require EasyAntiCheat, running with their respective runtimes on Steam. More interestingly though, I attempted to launch Fortnite from Heroic Games Launcher using flags to enable both EAC and BattleEye runtimes for it, and it actually launched. The issue was once it opened it said it wasn´t through a 'valid launcher' and to run it from the official Epic Games Store.
Perhaps we are closing in on the days that everyone but Riot fans will be able to leave that Microsoft junk behind after all....

[SteamDeck] Switch between x11/xorg and Wayland

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. Mai 2024 - 23:02

Hey.

I figured out on of my game worked great in desktop mode, but didn’t on gaming mode.

I also figured that x11/xorg is used in Desktop Mode, while wayland is used for game mode.

Is there a way to start a game with x11/xorg in gaming mode ?
