Does it behave as intended?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. Mai 2024 - 19:14

So, I was trying to figure out why does Helldivers 2 work on Linux with half the framerate from W10. I've updated the driver and tried running from Nobara installation, but everything was the same. Now I've tested the GravityMark benchmark to get some understanding of how the GPU - Nvidia 1650 Super shall behave. Here's what I've got:

OS(Renderer) Score Avg.FPS W10(Vulkan) 6,974 41.7 W10(Dx11) 6,159 36.9 W10(Dx12) 4,963 29.7 Linux(Wine Vulkan) 6,630 39.7 Linux(DXVK) 5,449 32.6 Linux(VKD3D) 5,868 35.1 Linux(Native Vulkan) 6,809 40.7 Linux(OpenGL) 4,515 27.0

So, shall it be this way? Is the performance drop accurate to how other y'all have it? Are there ways to configure Proton for better perf-ce? I was using latest wine proton GE

Multi-GPU & Multi-Monitor VRR X11 on Nvidia?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. Mai 2024 - 18:49

I have a spare GPU, has anyone confirmed that you can use X11 and plug the main VRR monitor into the Nvidia GPU and the secondary monitor(s) into the secondary GPU?

Is there any special setup needed? Can I still drag windows between the displays easily?

I know Nvidia fixes are coming soon, but I don't want to wait 1-2 months to be able to play native Vulkan games.

Dragon Age Inquisition, now with working controller support

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. Mai 2024 - 18:48

Hi.

I found in another thread here that DAI can be played with a gamepad in Linux using the DAI-Proton. You can get it here. The installation is the same as some other custom Protons like GE.

I just tried here and it works flawlessly. Note that DAI Proton can only be used with DAI and not other game.

Also, it's free for this week in Epic Games.

Athenian Rhapsody is a rather unhinged Undertale-like and stupidly funny

Gaming on Linux - 16. Mai 2024 - 18:13
Athenian Rhapsody might just be my new favourite release of 2024. Taking inspiration from the likes of Undertale and Earthbound and turning the ridiculousness up a few notches. Developer Nico Papalia has crafted something brilliant here.

Any way to permanently disable mouse acceleration while playing in games which auto enable it like Fallout New Vegas & Dungeon Lords?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. Mai 2024 - 17:46

I`m in Debian 12 with KDE and don`t like it. It makes my aiming when I`m playing FPS much slower and makes some scripts using xdotool much harder to make. Is annoying that this games auto enable it.

Any way to make the proton auto disable it?

Overwolf (Firestone) on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. Mai 2024 - 17:15

I'm trying to play Hearthstone on my Linux machine, and I can get it to work easily with Lutris without issues. I want to have a deck tracker, I know there is arena tracker, which is for Linux, but I don't like the interface, and I can run Hearthstone deck tracker easily, but I want Firestone from Overwolf. However I couldn't find any lutris script, or any way to install Overwolf (and Firestone specifically) on Linux. I tried with wine as well, but it just ends in error, that it can't install when running the installer. Has anyone managed to get Overwolf to run on Linux? If so, how can I do this with Hearthstone with Lutris? Thanks!

Steam installed, then flashes in task bar every now and then but app window won't appear.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. Mai 2024 - 17:14

Kubuntu 24.04 LTS, DEB Steam installer and then let the client download. Login window appeared just fine, but then the icon appears in the tray and every 10 seconds the taskbar entry appears for a brief moment, but no attempt to open an app window helps.

I have hwarware enablement unlocked and am running kernel 6.7.10 instead of 6.8 (to avoid a touchpad detection bug), but I don't want to expect this to be the issue.

Please help.

Might a logfile help? Which one would it be? steamwebhelper throws some errors and plenty of warnings. But it's tricky to copypaste.

Idiot needs help running games on second monitor.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. Mai 2024 - 16:41

Hello guys,

I'm very new to Linux as I switched this month from W11.

Right now I'm on Fedora 40 Workstation (Gnome, Nvidia GPU)

Here's my situation:

I have a monitor and a TV hooked up to my PC. Sometimes I play games on my TV.

What I would do on windows is:

  1. Open Steam big picture by double pressing home on my controller.
  2. Steam sets my TV as main monitor. BP opens on my TV.
  3. Tada 🎉 Games Open on my TV without me moving the window or whatever.
  4. When I close BP steam sets my main monitor back to my monitor.

As far as I know, there is no such option on Linux Steam to set monitors when switching to BP.

My question is how do I set this up on Linux? Is there any alternative that switches my 2nd monitor as main when I press something?

In an ideal world I double press the home button on my controller twice and steam open BP and switches my monitor.

Sorry if this is the wrong flair or forum for this I'm still figuring things out as I go.

Thanks in advance!

Why does (any) DXVK freeze my game but WINED3D works fine

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. Mai 2024 - 16:39

This issue only occurs with one game on my system, Resident Evil 2 Remake, it constantly freezes before reaching the Resident Evil 2 title screen, this occurs with all/any DXVK versions enabled and only with this game, tested with multiple runners (wine, proton-ge etc) Game works fine if i disable DXVK and use wineD3D however performance is low. Also tested with both versions of the game (DX11 and DX12) from Steam and the same issue occurs, tested Proton Experimental, latest ProtonGE and some older Proton versions. Something like the video playback fails when reaching the main menu which freezes my entire system, if i disable DXVK i boot to the main menu without issues, why is wineD3D running the game and when DXVK is enabled my game freezes when reaching the main menu??? Running Fedora 39 on an old Toshiba AMD Laptop Mesa 22.1

Trying new distro and broke my Nvidia driver

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. Mai 2024 - 16:25

I was happily using / game on Ubuntu 22.04 with my Nvidia 3070 mobile, I have no issue with Nvidia driver previously, even after I reinstall my Ubuntu to 24.04, (I don’t want to wait for auto update). Ubuntu still able to pickup my Nvidia and config all needed driver for me. Last week, my hand was itchy and want to try ArchLinux, and after installing Arch successfully, everything was setup nicely except for Nvidia. Since I failed to setup Nvidia on Arch few times, so I think it’s time to go back to Ubuntu, let Ubuntu do the thing for me. Now it seems like after trying to setup Nvidia on Arch, it broke my Nvidia on other Linux distro too, which in my case Ubuntu. Any experts know what is wrong with my Linux & Nvidia driver, boot are not detecting Nvidia, running ‘nvidia-smi’ give error message…

ps: My dual boot Windows able to read Nvidia…

Aerox 9 MMO Mouse Side Button Keybind Problem (World of Warcraft)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. Mai 2024 - 15:51

Hi, maybe someone here can help me 🙏 I have installed the latest Linux Mint version Frisch. Everything is running smoothly so far. Installed WoW Classic Cataclysm via Lutris. Everything is also running great.

Only my mouse “Steel Series Aerox 9” causes a small (for me big) problem. The mouse has 12 side buttons, all of which work fine except for button "12". I can't assign a button to it in the game. When I press the key in Chat on Desktop and Ingame (now im clicking the button a few times: ´´´´´), for example, the usual character appears there as normal, so the key works. Only when I go to the keybind layout ingame and want to assign the key, nothing happens.

Does anyone know what to do?

Sorry for my bad English

Need a recommendation for an SFF for gaming (Halo).

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. Mai 2024 - 15:27

I am quite technical but I've been out of the PC gaming world for decades. I don't even know what kind of computer tech is out there now.

I want an SFF desktop that I can play Halo on (through Steam).

I will be running Linux (Debian + KDE) on it.

Open to any/all suggestions. Not to concerned with price.

Towerful Defense: Prologue is like Brotato and Vampire Survivors had a TD baby

Gaming on Linux - 16. Mai 2024 - 13:31
I'm apparently a total and complete sucker for anything that allows for short rounds of gameplay, that mixes in elements of Brotato and Vampire Survivors to let me customize my run and Towerful Defense: Prologue has plenty of that.
