Hi,

Is there a tool similar to dxvk or vkd3d, to translate directx to opengl instead of vulkan?

Thanks!

I've tried between 3 headsets and I don't know why this is happening. All my friends say that they can hear themselves really loudly from my mic. Then there is usually a very loud feedback effect that destroys your ears.

I can't figure why this is happening. Any advice or tips would be glorious.

Here's a video of the mic audio levels. You can see it match with whatever audio is playing on the pc, as well as ambient audio.

Headset Config

I have a 50mm headamame headset with a mic. I have an aux splitter to plug into my mic-in plug, and audio out plug on my pc.

Hello, I've been trying to play Minecraft java in my laptop.

The problem is that my old laptops over heat and I want to use my newer laptop as it works better.

How can I run two instances of the game? The idea is that one plays on the tv with a kbm and the other one on the laptop screen and a kbm.

​

If there is a way to do it requiring a controller, please do not comment it as I do not own any of them.

Thanks!

When I launch it, multiplayer works fine and the game is completely fine, but for some reason it won't load my data. How can I figure out what the issue is?

Running AMD Ryzen 5500 and Rx 570. Using vulkan-radeon and mesa on an X11 setup with XFCE on Arch linux. Everything up to date. I am not able to get past the valve logo. verified files and everything. I am able to launch the game with proton but unable to join any games due to a VAC error (plus obviously I rather run native)

Here is the crash Dump

Any ideas?

I've been having some issues with the steam window stuck in psuedo fullscreen, unsizeable/unmoveable and crashing my DE repeatedly on Mint Cinnamon. Having fixed it I thought this would be worth sharing for anyone else having the same issues.

Following the comments here, I deleted the folder ~/.steam/steam/config/htmlcache/Local Storage/leveldb.

That fixed it and Steam now opens windowed and resizeable. I then turned back on the following interface settings and it still works (had turned them all off trying to fix it):

• Scale text and icons to match monitor settings
• Enable smooth scrolling in web views
• Enable GPU accelerated rendering in web views
• Enable hardware video decoding

I'm just on the regular version of the client, no beta. I did switch to beta and it fixed it briefly before the problem returned so I switched back.

Hopefully this works for anyone else with the same issue. Happy gaming folks.

I saw a lack of guides online to how to properly run these games on Linux (and the ones that did required using a Windows install to install the games first and then move them to a Linux install). I also cover some Resident Evil 2 mods that other people couldn't seem to get working on Linux.

I specifically used Arch, but this should work for any distro. You need Wine and winecfg installed and any other software which are prerequisites to run games. My Xbox Series controller was detected under Input under Raw Input in the game config screen using xpadneo over Bluetooth and worked perfectly in-game. The game itself ran perfectly, no crashes or slowdown.

I have only tried this with Resident Evil 2, but I would imagine the process for 1 and 3 would be similar.

General Steps

• Download the .iso image for Resident Evil 2 Sourcenext (you can find this online pretty easily). You will need software to mount the .iso image, I used FuseISO.

• Follow the steps outlined in this guide. Make sure you replaced the original exe with the 1.1.0 patch! Also, don't delete the original .iso, you will need it later.

Linux-specific Steps

• Just running the .exe under Wine should work, right? Nope. To fix this, run winecfg, navigate to Libraries, and add ddraw.dll as an override, like this. Click yes to any warnings, then click Apply and OK. I would recommend doing this in a wine prefix, as I don't know if doing this on the general wine configuration could result in other compatibility errors. You can use Lutris to easily make a wine prefix specifically for RE2, but I won't cover that in this guide.

• Now it boots, and you should get this game config screen. Before clicking OK, go to the root of the original mounted .iso (not the data folder), and open CD-KEY.txt. Copy that key and paste it in the game config screen under Misc > Install (you can also open config.ini and paste it there). You need to add the installation key, for some reason this error only occurred to me on Linux. Also, if at any point your bio2.exe seems to hang upon booting again, delete the config.ini file and open the exe again, as the installation key is invalid. (this shouldn't occur if you followed the instructions correctly)

• Now the game boots! But there are a few mods we can use to improve the experience.

Recommended Mods

The mods I used were:

• Seamless HD Project, which requires the HD mod as a base.
• 1080p Upscaled FMVs
• High Quality BGM

Follow the instructions of the respective mods. Some of the mods have differing naming schemes for folders (like instead of Pl1 a folder might be named PL1). I would recommended renaming all relevant folders to the same found in the original .iso, just in case they conflict. Check subfolders as well so that the names overwrite the original files.

Specifically for Linux, after installing these mods, you will have a directory similar to this. See libwebp.dll and dsound.dll? Run winecfg and go to Libraries and add them as overrides, just like you did with ddraw.dll. The game should now look nice and crispy with AI-upscaled backgrounds.

Also, for some reason, the .iso needs to be mounted any time you want the game to run. This wasn't the case on Windows. The exe can be on a separate drive or wherever you want, the .iso just needs to be mounted, otherwise you will get a DVD load error.

I decided to install Pipewire and uninstall pulseaudio in the process and it did not go well. No audio devices would be detected so I uninstalled Pipewire and reinstalled pulseaudio. The audio is back but no matter if it's a YouTube video or game, the audio will loop back to what happened about a second or two ago. This seems to happen once every 5 minutes. How do I fix this? I tried connecting to a different port on my motherboard and issue persists.

I am on the latest version of Linux Mint with Kernel 5.15.0-105 generic. The tutorial I followed was from lowtechlinux. Unfortunately I'm dumb and didn't do timeshift before making this change.

I dont have access to my PC so I'm using my laptop from the past few days and since it has only 8gb RAM, I use xfce4 DE. However I did notice a weird thing regarding Terraria, with KDE terraria runs fine without having to select any compatilibity tool in steam and loads my savegame without any difficulties. Now when I switch to xfce4, I can no longer run the game unless I select a compatilbity tool (Proton Experimental in my case) and even then the game simply fails to locate my savegame and requires me to start a new game. So Can anyone Help me run Terraria on xfce4 while also being able to continue my game from where I left?

Played the entire metro franchise from 2033 to exodus (w/ dlcs) on proton experimental same with dying light 1 one of the most praised linux "native" games ubiquitous on every Top XYZ Best Linux Games article

Even smaller games like This War of Mine wouldn't work natively

If a game has DLCs 9/10 times it wont work natively because the "nat" version is just a discrete archaic wine wrap up

Barotrauma, SOMA enter the gungeon and valve games in general never needed proton

they should honestly just do the same as Hi-Rez did with the upcoming smite 2

Sys. requirements simply say "Proton" under the SteamOS + Loonix option

I have a Lenovo Legion Go, For the last several weeks I have been dual booting between Bazzite for Steam games, and windows for others (XBGP, Epic, ect). I just got done playing in windows and was trying to swap back to Bazzite and went to the boot menu, and BAZZITE IS GONE! There is still a "Fedora" launch, but that is just a black screen. And I can still load into windows. I don't have my flash drive with Bazzite on it, is rebuilding it the only option I have? Has this happened to others? It's feeling very uphill battleish. Wondering if Bazzite is even worth it... Plz Help!

Hi! :)

A few words of explanation first:
For years I've been a mac user and console (PS / Steam deck) gamer. I haven't had anything to do with Windows since Windows 7. When I got Steam deck OLED last year I fell in love with Linux (at least with the Steam OS desktop version), and I decided to get a decent PC and turn it into linux gaming machine. I got a PC with 2x SSD drives, and Windows 11 pre-installed on one of them.

A problem:
Both SSD drives are the same, and both are NTFS. When I need to select a drive I want to install Bazzite onto I am presented with a choice: nvme0n1 and nvme1n1. I can't find a way to identify which one comes with Windows 11, and which one is an empty drive I want to use for Linux. I have a feeling nvme0n1 is the "default" one with Windows 11, but for obvious reasons I don't want to make a guess and risk. As much as I want to use Bazzite as my primary OS for gaming, I want to keep that Windows just in case.

Questions:
- Is there a way to identify which one is which?
- If not, then is there a way to disable a drive with Windows in BIOS (I have Gigabyte X670 Aourus Elite AX), to make sure I'm not messing with the wrong drive?
- What does "test this media and install bazzite" do? I cannot find an explanation anywhere, and - again - I don't want to mess with it to avoid deleting Windows.

Really sorry if I'm a moron and I'm missing something out! I'd appreciate help massively. Many thanks!

Hi there, just a quick question, I know I can add my non steam games to steam (steam will act as a luncher which count my playtime and allow it's controll overlay to be compatible with the game) but my question is, if I have non steam game (for windows) will it be possible to add it to steam and play it through steam proton on Linux. These days I'm installing my old windows games just for nostalgia and I'm wondering will they run on Linux using proton

So, I'm making preparations to move back to Fedora from Windows and BG3 is the game I'm focused on right now. I have a crap ton of mods loaded in and would very much like to continue that in Fedora. The last time I was in Linux, I had hell of a time getting Vortex to work with Skyrim and Fall Out 4 and ended up manually installing mods instead.

From what research I've done, it seems like it should be easy to get the .NET stuff installed. The issue I had with Vortex was getting it to see the folder locations from Steam and I can imagine the same might be true for BG3MM.

Anyways, simply curious if anyone has been successful in getting BG3MM to work properly within Linux. TIA!

Ever since I started beating Demons in GD, I started getting a very annoying bug where frames start skipping for a few seconds periodically, no matter the FPS. The FPS itself doesn't change (and no, this is not a performance issue, my computer can handle these levels with over 1000 FPS), and I couldn't really detect any frame time anomalies with MangoHud. On 240 FPS, this results in a frame time of 3 followed by a frame time of 5 (I use a 60 Hz monitor, so it should always be 4). On 60 FPS, it's way rarer, but is way more annoying with it skipping two frames when it does happen.

Example video (2024): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI3GoVLBdRE (quite subtle, but it is very noticeable while playing)

Relevant Neofetch:

OS: Linux Mint 21.3 x86_64 Host: XPS 8920 1.0.23 Kernel: 5.15.0-91-generic DE: Cinnamon CPU: Intel i7-7700 (8) @ 4.200GHz GPU: Intel HD Graphics 630 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti submitted by /u/MinersHavenM43
