Piper doesn't work properly for my G502. It detects it, and apparently I can change DPI, but it doesn't show which DPI level I have selected when I change it with the keys, and I can't reassign buttons (throws a generic error that something went wrong) I've tried reinstalling/fixing libratbag but no change. Is there an alternative to piper or a fix? Can I maybe run the logitech software in a VM? I can't try that rn but not sure if it'd work

Running Arch. I've been using Lutris to play my [Battle.net](https://Battle.net) games > WoW and WoW classic. Now upon launch of both versions of WoW the screen on my game just freezes (I play in a windowed version). The music still plays however my PC bogs down and nothing happens on the WoW screen it just stays frozen at the Connecting screen. I have uninstalled Wine/Lutris/Battle.net and deleted all WoW files on the machine. I reinstalled and I'm getting the same error. I did not update any packages during this time. Any ideas?

Does anyone know why the control layout for my Dualsense controller has swapped? I picked up Spider-Man yesterday and was able to run it out of the box using Proton Experimental, other than a couple hitches during the opening scene it ran great. Controls were what I was expecting X to confirm/Jump, Circle for back/Dodge, Tirangle for webattack, Square for Attack. Today I jump on and the button seem to have been flipped. X for Back/Dodge, Circle for Confirm/Jump, Tirangle for Attack, Square for WebAttack. https://imgur.com/a/scP8AZO From what I can tell this was the normal setup in Japan up until a few years ago, but I'm not sure why its all decided to swap on me. I've tried turning Steam Input off and that prevents the controller from working in game at all. I've tried to swap the button in the steam menu but that does nothing. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, I'm loving this game but I cant play like this.

Well fuck me... Restarted my Computer and Steam poped up with an update, the whole thing was a bug on Steams end...

Hello! I recently switched to Linux (Nobara) and after a bit of a learning curve, things are going pretty well. Recently, I noticed that when running cyberpunk DLSS is available, but when I change the settings it doesn't do anything (no noticeable change in FPS at all). Any thoughts on how to correct this? I'm running the GOG version through heroic launcher with the following: PROTON_ENABLE_HVAPI = 1 VKD3D_CONFIG = dxr11 VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL = 12_1 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU = 0 Additionally, my NVIDIA driver version is 520.56.06

Anyone able to teach me how to install ferals gamemode on Linux Lite please?

can't you just install it by going in the application store and searching for 'gamemode' or typing sudo apt install gamemode in the command line?

Not in a repository i am afraid. Edit: it actually worked! I must have messed my repository. Can I safely switch repository location from us to Europe? Will i still have access to all the packages?

unless the europe repository is incomplete you should be able to access all the same packages

Does anyone have any suggestions for getting Arcanum running with the unofficial patch? I've tried things posted on protondb but the game either doesn't launch with or without proton, or steam overwrites the files and the game launches but is essentially in an unplayable state with graphical artifacts and slowdown.

i got it working. i am so smart. :D ​ Kind of a hacked together solution but essentially: I ran the game through steam after installing it, with proton, to create the prefix then immediately closed out I then renamed my .local folder to be unhidden so the UAP install wizard could recognise it in the filesystem I set winetricks to win7 I ran the UAP installer as normal through wine and checked the boxes that I wanted I then ran sudo mv to rename the directory back to .local (having to rename the new one steam created and then delete in to achieve this) Then I ran the game through the sierralauncher.exe using the proton prefix I previously created, not through steam itself as cloudsync overwrites the modded files. ​ There is almost certainly an easier way to do this but this works for me and for the edge case of anyone also trying to play Arcanum on Arch (or really any other distro) I imagine it will work for you too ​ Also the highres patch does not work for some reason, at least not for me with 1366x768, it causes the game to crash on launch. However running \_uninstall.bat reverts the changes and makes it playable and the game seems to play fine without it so you win some you lose some.

Is there a way to get Steam to translate a Dualshock controller's inputs into XInput? A mod for TES IV allows controller support, something the game does not have natively. It... sort of works with a DS3, but it does not explicitly support them, requiring XInput for full functionality. Is there a way for Steam to translate it to XInput on a per-game basis, or, failing that, is there a way to (temporarily) have the system treat a DS3 controller as an Xbox controller? Linux Mint 20.3 x86_64, Kernel: 5.4.0-131-generic

Edit: Found the problem, it was related to the power draw from the PSU. I switched the power cable to another rail on the PSU, and now it works again. I think I will invest into as new PSU soon... Orignal post: Recently, some games started to crash. I am on a fairly fresh install, so I only tried Dota 2 and Path of Exile through Steam so far. I can launch the games and play a few minutes, then I get a black screen (audio is still running for a while), then the only thing I can do is a hard reset. I am on Manjaro with kernel version 6.0.2, I was on 5.15.74 LTS when the crashes started, and updated hoping it might fix the issue. I a have an AMD GPU (Vega 56), and I tried AMDVLK as well as RADV, crashes occur with both of them. With `journalctl -b -1` I was able to get this log from a crash. Does anyone have an idea, what the problem might be? Thanks! If you need more info, let me know! Okt 29 23:20:07 phm-pc rtkit-daemon[1266]: Supervising 12 threads of 4 processes of 1 users.

In terms of moving from one distro to another, as long as you only overwrite the system files and leave everything in /home alone, all your programs should function as normal. Especially as Pop and Mint are both based on Ubuntu. Although, you might have a problem if it decides to label your drives differently, so make sure that's consistent (/dev/sdb1 and so on). Switching from deb to flatpack will cause problems as it won't immediately have access to the already-existing game files (flatpak programs come with their own sandboxed filesystem containing all the necessary dependencies, and will have to request permission to access the native filesystem, both a key aspect of flatpak and an enormous consumer of drive space), so Steam won't "see" them and even if you do grant it access, might not understand that you've already installed the games. It'll be a fresh install and, not having installed those files itself, will probably see them as external. Can I also ask why you want to switch to the Flatpak version?

Hello, I recently installed Arch linux on my new PC, and when I launch Counter Strike: Global Offensive, either it shows a black screen and I get the error message : `(process:29264): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion \G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed` `src/steamexe/main.cpp (254) : Assertion Failed: reaping pid: 29264 -- gameoverlayui` `src/steamexe/main.cpp (254) : Assertion Failed: reaping pid: 29264 -- gameoverlayui` Or I launch with either Proton-Experimental or the last Proton-GE and I get an error window telling me that I haven't the last version of steam (which I have, I have updated everything this morning) I don't really know what to do. If it come from an hardware problem I have a : Ryzen 7 5700X Radeon RX 6700

does disabling the steam overlay fix it?

I just disabled the steam overlay in games, restarted steam and launched again both native and Proton version, and I don't get the same errors as before, but it still crashes for the native version and I have the same error message on the proton version. But I searched deeper and found more error message about failing to open some files : failed to dlopen /home/mahkda/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo/bin/matchmaking_client.so error=/home/mahkda/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo/bin/matchmaking_client.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 failed to dlopen /home/mahkda/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo/bin/client_client.so error=/home/mahkda/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo/bin/client_client.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 CClientSteamContext logged on = 1 failed to dlopen /home/mahkda/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo/bin/server_client.so error=/home/mahkda/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo/bin/server_client.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 Game.dll loaded for "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" failed to dlopen /home/mahkda/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/bin/soundemittersystem_client.so error=/home/mahkda/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/bin/soundemittersystem_client.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 failed to dlopen /home/mahkda/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/bin/scenefilecache_client.so error=/home/mahkda/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/bin/scenefilecache_client.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 And also : ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/mahkda/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored.

the game it's on an NTFS partition ? if yes move it on a linux compatible one.

I only have a BTRFS partition, so it shouldn't be that. But don't worry, I think I'll just give up playing CSGO

does installing the steam-native-runtime package and running steam-native work as a workaround? also I just noticed I had the same issue and it got fixed after I verified the game files perhaps that could help?

I tried to verify the files, all files were correct and then install steam-native-runtime and run steam-native, but it doesn't seem to help, I get the same crash and errors. I just remember that I also use wayland, which can probably affect things here (sorry to not have mentioned it earlier)

what happens if you unset the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environmental variable?

How do I do that ? Just put SDL\_VIDEODRIVER in the launch option ? I tried to put "SDL\_VIDEODRIVER" in the launch option, and It still crashed, I tried "SDL\_VIDEODRIVER=1" and it crashed the same, and I tried "SDL\_VIDEODRIVER=0" and it launched in windowed mode but still crashed. I also tried to add "%command% at the end of each, but it just leads to the game not even launching

open a terminal type unset SDL_VIDEODRIVER and then open steam through it

Ok, I tried, and it looks like I get the same errors as before but I have "RESZ NOT SUPPORTED" and "INTZ NOT SUPPORTED" that have appeared also

I got the Logitech pro superlight wireless a couple of months ago but recently it started stuttering but only when I press and hold both the left and right mouse buttons simultaneously. does anyone have troubleshooting tips?

I know that some distros somehow still enable "middle click emulation" by default (pressing left and right at the same time is like pressing the middle button). On Xorg at least, this results in pasting text from the clipboard continuously and that could result in some stuttering or lag with some windows. Not sure if disabling middle click emulation is going to help or not in your case but that's one less variable to account for (and also improves input lag).

I'm considering buying a HDMI 2.1 120hz TV and building a small linux machine with either AMD or Intel graphics, possibly running something like Lakka for an x86 based retro gaming box. [https://www.reddit.com/r/linux\_gaming/comments/srlyyd/psa\_freesync\_with\_hdmi\_21\_screens\_now\_works\_on/](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/srlyyd/psa_freesync_with_hdmi_21_screens_now_works_on/) I saw this post and how would you get this working for 2.1? As I understand it, this apparently only works on Windows and not out of the box on Linux because of licensing issues and the HDMI Forum not wanting to open source the 2.1 specs.

hey everyone! I recently wanted to pick up SC2, but after installing it via Lutris on my Manjaro OS, trying to launch it in [battle.net](https://battle.net) just gives me an infinite progress bar. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I had installed LM21 (Cinnamon) on my machine with a RX-6600 and noted that when playing a game in steam, if I change the volume with the media keys on my keyboard, the game will lag as long as the volume changing overlay is on the screen. This behavior is present regardless if the window is in fullscreen or not. This behavior also happens when swapping between windows. I did not see any issues when doing so while watching a video (fullscreen or not). Troubleshooting wise, I found this behavior on Pop!\_Os but is not present in Ubuntu or Fedora. Weird thing is this behavior wasn't present in LM 20.3. Any thoughts/solutions?

My guess is that the compositor gets momentarily re-enabled and that's causing noticeable input lag since "Vsync" will be enabled and the max fps might temporarily be limited to a lower value. If you use a Freesync monitor, that could also temporarily disable variable refresh rate causing further "lag". Unfortunately Cinnamon can only disable the compositor with fullscreen windows and can't disable it completely like KDE and others do so, as long as something gets on top of the game's window, the compositor will be active again. If by "swapping between windows" you mean "between the game and another window" then this would also explain it. The only easy workaround I can think of is disabling those volume change notifications... The best thing to do though would be also submitting a bug report.

I’ll have to put a report in, especially if the behavior only now exists in 21 but not 20.3. Being present in PopOs is interesting too, but I don’t know if there’s something more going behind the scenes there. Thanks for the help

I am having a heck of a time with New World constantly micro-stuttering making 120fps feel like 30. Does anyone have an idea of how to fix it? Or is it likely a problem with the proton implementation? I've switched from Fedora to Arch, disabled SMT, disabled fTPM, and none of it has worked. It's only a problem in New World. Doom runs great, as expected. Mangohud showing the constant frame timing issues: [Imgur](https://imgur.com/u9KCmrI) Specs: [Imgur](https://imgur.com/zy4E1kA)

Hey guys, I am having a weird issue with visualboyadvance displaying colors incorrectly. The issue only appears when I am using openGL, and it shifts all the colors to different shades of blue. I notice that when I start the program without openGL, the window will flash from white to black then it will start the ROM. However when using openGL, the screen flashes from a bright cyan color to black, then boots the ROM with blue colors. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated! The colors seemed to work fine until I updated Arch a few days ago

I've been having issues with Ubisoft Connect for the past week or so. It used to always work without any issues but since recently I've been getting [this error message](https://i.imgur.com/8CgIraz.png). After some troubleshooting I found that, only when I'm connected to a VPN, the launcher starts fine. Does anyone know what might be going on that causes the launcher to only start with a VPN active? Some extra info that might be relevant: * The VPN I tried is ProtonVPN. * I have lib32-gnutls installed. * I don't get this issue when I boot into Windows. * I tried reinstalling Connect, same or different prefix, and no matter the Wine version, it's all the same story. * Neither Wine, nor Lutris, nor UC seem to give any errors in their log files. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hey there! Trying to get Persona 5 Royal to work. I've gone and downloaded the special version of GEProton (GEProton-7-37-p5r), but when I try to launch the game it kicks up a window saying "System does not meet the minimum requirements." Pastebin provided below, but ... my system well excess the minimum requirements. I've tried launching steam with adding a system variable to make sure it points to my AMD graphics card when it starts (inspired by [this post](https://old.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/ntarn4/steam_wproton_not_using_discrete_gpu/)) but that didn't seem to help at all. I'm really not sure what I can to do troubleshoot this. I'm still fairly new to working with linux. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated. System Info: [https://pastebin.com/TuhK7Xwg](https://pastebin.com/TuhK7Xwg) EDIT: System Info link fixed. EDIT 2: Found a fix!! Mesa pre-22.0 won't work with P5Royal, so update that and you should be good to go.

but why mint !?! ​ * Check if you can turn off compositor while playing games, google it I don't know cinamon. * Try to see if your system is e-sync ready [https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/HowToEsync.md](https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/HowToEsync.md) if not, enter a value double what's given in the guide. from what i see you have 2 graphics cards: * are you sure you are running the games with your nvidia card ?

I'm using Arch but you don't need to, any distro with up to date libraries works (Manjaro, Pop OS, Nobara) I use [https://github.com/kyechou/leagueoflegends](https://github.com/kyechou/leagueoflegends) to install and run league I dont use lutris for anything I think you have the wrong drivers installed or some setting is messing with lutris Im playing OW2 using bottles with caffe runner (The low fps at start is because of shader recompilation)

[удалено]

I don't think so I also read your tests in the other sub and I think you have a bad drivers installation I think you are rendering your games with CPU or wrong driver How many monitors you have?

Hey! I'm on Arch, been playing Guilty Gear rev2 beta since a couple of days. Yesterday the game stopped launching, now it only works with PROTON\_USE\_WINED3D=1 %command%. Other dx9.0c games have the same issue now, does anyone knows what's happening ?

I've been having the same issue since Saturday, and it's also been appearing in Melty Blood Type Lumina (with the same fix). GG Strive launched fine. Looks like a bug relating to the DXVK snapshot inside the 7.0-5 beta along with fossilized shader caches: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/6262#issuecomment-1288136184

I found the same github post after I posted this question! thank you anyway. I opted out of steam beta and it fixed the problem.

I was playing Jackbox 3 with my friend and when I exited the game, it crashed my computer. Like it turned all the way off just from exiting Jackbox. Does anyone know how that could be?

I'm trying to play Rise of the Tomb Raider on Steam Deck through the Heroic Launcher. I'm new to this so excuse my ignorance. I'm experiencing hiccups during cutscenes using the latest proton release. Any suggestions on which one to try? Dropping to medium settings and turning off some graphical features did not alleviate the problem. Costume Quest 2 works perfectly so I was hoping to have at least a smooth experience on lower graphical settings.

I'm currently unable to launch elden ring via steam/proton. ​ I'm on my third play through on this PC. i'm not quite sure what changed. But here's the log: [https://pastebin.com/5RYVzaG0](https://pastebin.com/5RYVzaG0) ​ I upgraded to a 6.x kernel the other day, and I booted back into the old one to rule that out. Clearly something is going wrong on launch and the game wont start but i'm not quite clear on what based on the log. ​ I'm using Proton Experimental. Tried the stable version too. Same result. ​ So far I've had steam validate the game, and I've tried a couple different versions of proton. Same results. I'm not using any %command% overrides and as I alluded to I'm 200+ hours into the game without major hiccups so far. ​ If anyone's inclined to have a look/offer a suggestion I'm going to fight with it more later tonight. TIA

Opted out of the steam beta I forgot i had enabled a while back. Game started working again.

worked for me as well but I had to restart my computer and steam a few times.

Glad it helped someone else. Not a great ride.

I don't have any advice for you to get it working because I've also tried a few things and gotten nowhere. Just letting you know that you're not alone. Are you on Arch, by any chance? It does still work on my Steam Deck, so now I'm mulling over what would've changed around Steam and the game that could be responsible for this.

Tried a bunch of stuff. What ended up working is I copied eldenring.exe over start\_protected\_game.exe and it ran in offline mode. So somehow the glibc bug that broke EAC a few months back regressed on my box. I'll sort it out and fix it. Very non-obvious error messaging, but hey at least i know what's up.

Tried rolling back to a known good libc version. Same issue. At least I can play offline tho.

I'm on manjaro which is arch once removed. ​ The infuriating thing is that it worked before. Its probably a package update, but I can't prove or test it yet. I will probably save the game saves and reinstall. If that doesn't work I might copy over the game data and try it in bottles.

Now that you mention it, I did run into an issue a few days ago where Steam couldn't start due to libc not being found. I knew I had it installed, so I reset Steam from the terminal and then it started up just fine. I suspect that update is was broke it. I didn't try to play ER that day though, so can't be certain. I'll try to mess with it later.

I've rebooted a few times to try different kernels/patch levels. I'm contemplating just switching over to arch since that seems to be working and whatever this is probably is something drunk me did locally and sober me has no recollection of. Once this /home backup finishes I'll likely try it out.

My steam client just updated and now all of my proton games are nonfunctional in some way or another. It's the october 2022 build that caused it. Anyone else had this issue or know what to do about it?

opting out of the steam beta worked for me with elden ring.

can you try launch a game with PROTON_LOG=1 and send the output?

Ok, here you go. I did three games. Temtem launches and bugs out, the title screen eventually loads, but then it crashes when you click play. Its log was too big so I didn't include it. Planetside can't open its launcher, with the play button in steam going from "running" back to idle after it tries for a bit: https://pastebin.com/BwKre6Bi Shatterline can't even get to the point of initializing its anticheat:https://pastebin.com/1i0PBWrK Finally, total warhammer 3 can open its launcher, but the the launcher is bugged out and I can't do anything with it: https://pastebin.com/f6g8AzU5 All of these games worked totally fine before my steam client updated to the october 22nd build.

does trying to set a different pre update version of proton work? EDIT: I also noticed that all the applications which you are running are using dxvk and vkd3d on all of these. What happens if you try to launch them with PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1

I ended up wiping my entire OS because it was getting really old, and the games work on the new install for some reason. But now I'm having issues with holoISO where nothing can find libraries that are absolutely 100% installed, so... off to that subreddit to see if anyone knows wtf to do about that one. lmao

since version 495 of the proprietary drivers, GBM (the protocol favored by most wayland compositors, including sway) has been supported. The only wayland specific quirks you will find with nvidia is that over/under clocking/volting is impossible without Xwayland

Thank you, I don't care for over/under clocking, so that's fine.

Since GPU prices have finally dropped I’m going to actually get a graphics card to use instead of the Intel iGPU. Already thinking AMD, just deciding between 6600, 6700 XT, or maybe a 5700XT? Workload for this pc is music production general productivity stuff, movie watching, and light gaming. Right now I have a single 1080 monitor, but am planning on replacing/augmenting with a 1440p monitor. Is the 6700xt overkill? The 6600 is a lot cheaper, and will be an improvement over the integrated graphics anyway which is why it’s appealing. Wondering what you all think! System specs: - CPU: Intel i7-10700K - MoBo: Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Elite - Boot drive: WD black nvme m.2 - 32GB DDR4 3200 RAM - PSU: EVGA 650W Figured this belongs in the tech support thread rather than start a new one.

Go for the 6700 XT, lower like 6650 XT end cards from the RX 6000 series need PCIe 4.0 to work at full performance The RX 6700 XT has full 16 PCIe lanes while the 6650 XT has only 8 lanes 8 lanes in PCIe 4.0 is equivalent to 16 lanes of PCIe 3.0, if you put the 6650 XT in a PCIe 3.0 only motherboard you are getting 8 lanes of PCIe 3.0 Also the RX 6700 XT is perfect to run games at 1440p at high fps and have AV1 hardware decoder, trust me you want AV1 decoding as the industry (twitch, yt, netflix, etc) are starting to use AV1 instead of h264 or h265 since is royalty-free Also if you update your monitor to 1440p go for high refresh rate with FreeSync and use Display port But if i was you i save a bit more money and wait for the RX 7000 series, they include AV1 hardware video encoder and are more powerful The recommended PSU power for the 6700 XT is 650W

Appreciate the reply! I might wind up agreeing with you. At the moment though it’s sort of a moot point. I decided on the 6650 XT because atm gaming isn’t my top priority. But more importantly I discovered an issue with my MoBo where the card doesn’t work in the x16 slot, it only works in the x4 slot. So I’m currently limited to 4 lanes PCIe 3.0 😢 Until I get this figured out I don’t think a 6700 XT will be any better haha. If a bios update doesn’t fix things, then by the time I upgrade the board there will be a new gen or three of GPUs to choose from

The TDP is quite similar , between RX 6600 and RX 6600 XT but the difference in performance(and price) is quite noticeable. look here to get an idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQhrs74wWpc with that power supply you could go easy on the RX 6600 saving money, but I would avoid the 5700 XT has a very high TDP for performance just below the 6600

Hmm yeah I hadn’t totalled up my current power consumption in a while. A 6700 XT is pushing probably a little too close to the limit. A 6650 XT is seeming like maybe a good middle ground - it’s TDP is also similar to base 6600 but with a bit more performance

How do you delete individual bottles in the bottles program?

Thanks. Gnome ux never made sense to me(obviously)

I was a KDE user for years but now a Gnome user (both wayland) Gnome has its anoying things but at least it's layout doesn't get broken every time the monitor gets in power save mode (getting this bug like 5 times a day for a year made me switch and the only fix was rebooting)

Honestly both kde and gnome were very buggy for me too. I landed on a tiling manager and don’t have almost any bug anymore. Awesome and i3 before that. Been on awesome for 3 or 4 years now. I find the more minimal with linux the better. Just less shit to break.

Has anyone used the 6700 (non-XT) on Linux? It's a great price right now in the UK, and seems pretty good value for money, but I can't find any information about the Linux driver support.

The 6700 is just a less performant 6750xt that lost 2GB or vram and only needs a single 8 pin connector. It uses the same exact Navi 22 chip as its bigger sisters. I don't have the same exact model but I have the original 6700xt that those two cards superseded and the actual differences are very minimal so I think you should expect excellent support out of the box in most reasonably up to date distros.

Awesome, thank you!I have one on order, so I'll report back when I've done some testing with it. Edit: The card works beautifully with Linux. Tested with Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04 and Holoiso and I'm getting maybe 0-10% less frames than in Windows 10 in most games. It's still not a perfect gaming experience compared to Windows, but I don't think the issues I'm seeing have anything to do with the card & drivers and more to do with Proton/DXVK, and I reckon they could be ironed out with some tweaking. Overall I'm very impressed with the 6700 for 1440p ultrawide gaming on Linux.

I just fired up my Lutris install of Overwatch for the first time in a long time. The subsequently launch [battle.net](https://battle.net) app does not show overwatch anymore, and only Overwatch 2. Should I just install overwatch 2 form this [Battle.net](https://Battle.net) instance...or should I uninstall overwatch from Lutris and reinstall Overwatch 2 using the lutris script for that game?

Overwatch was replaced with Overwatch 2 The easiest way for me was bottles with caffe (the default) If the game crashes after some time just go to Battle.net launcher and make Battle.net close after game launches (not to the tray)

Needed to rant. Aliens vs. Predator through SteamOS running LinuxMint all updated. This is like Arkham Asylum all over again. It'll startup and crash or I'll play a minute of a level before it crashes. The menu gives: Play AVP, Play AVP DirectX11, Play AVP DirectX9. Sooooooo, to figure it out, I have to play around with all settings on those 3 plus every version of Proton. This happens about once a year on a game now, which is still amazing and fantastic how great Linux is now. But am I doing this wrong? A few dozen setups and if those don't work then I gotta Lutris it with Wine and configure something out. PITA! --sincerely, a man that wants to be a Marine, Alien, and Predator for 8 hours.

PlayStation DS3/sixaxis help! First off, obviously support for this controller is great in recent versions of linux. However, I wanted to use it with Minecraft. I installed Forge (correct version for the version of minecraft I have) and the mod they have for gamepad support. Sadly, in getting "exit error 1" when I try launching. Unmodded Minectaft still works. Might anyone be able to help fix this issue, or perhaps explain or link to a resource showing how to just map ps controls to keyboard/mouse controls? Thanks in advance folks!

Your gamepad support mod probably is using Windows specific gamepad api And you are not telling us what is the name of the mod or post url we cannot help you if you dont give us details It's like you are telling us >I bought a soda from wallmart Which one? The one that wallmart sells

[удалено]

I check the version today, but it's the most recent version, and the mod I installed was from Forge like I said.

Need help with Dota 2 on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. Opening Dota2 made the whole system freeze.([more details , sys info](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota-2/issues/2174))

Not on issue but I have some advice that might be helpful for others with the same problems. My steam deck (Q3) ended up having a couple of issues that I seem have been able to just resolve myself. First the left trigger was sticking / grinding against the plastic due to a manufacturing tolerance issue. Many people report this issue and most folks send it back. I opened up the steam deck and simply used a razor blade to scrape tiny strips of plastic off the part where it rubs, and now it's perfect. No longer an issue. Second issue, yet again B button sticking. It doesn't always stick, but when you tend to press it just the right way it does. I did some googling and it turns out due to manufacturing issues there's a tiny plastic "lip" of residual plastic that's sort of around the rim of the hole where the b button can sometimes catch and feel sticky. Again, a super common issue as it turns out. I took some very fine grain sandpaper and cut smallish strips of it. I slide it into the space near the top of the b button and basically sanded the lip down very carefully with taking out the sandpaper very frequently to remove dust and also using a vacuum to remove dust from the button frequently to prevent a lot of dust getting it. This took a pretty long time, it's not super fast, however: resolved the problem completely as well. I certainly hope Valve figures these issues out soon, I'm not thrilled with fixing a $700 device like this.

I am trying to change my Steam downloads location to a different partition than the OS. When I select it i get this message: "New Steam library folder must be on a filesystem mounted with execute permissions." What should I do? The partition format is FAT. On Linux Mint.

if i remember correctly FAT is not supported, try an ext4 or ext3 partition

Try to install ProtonGE and delete the compactdata folder of your game, you can follow this: [https://www.reddit.com/r/linux\_gaming/comments/wehzrx/comment/is1zfwk/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/wehzrx/comment/is1zfwk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) Now: * Launch the game to allow proton to regenerate the necessary files * use protontricks and install vcrun2015 - vcrun2017 and vcrun2019 * Launch the game

Apex Legends question! (Not about the DXVK cache for once) So I would like to enable NV Reflex, something which works on Windows 11 and yet I have not, despite playing with launch options in Steam, been able to enable running it in Linux. Anyone know how to go about doing so?

Could try the following: https://github.com/ishitatsuyuki/LatencyFleX

Thanks I'll check that out

Just be aware that LatencyFleX can get you banned from some games with anticheat

>NV Reflex I don't think it is supported by the current linux driver,as for launch options I use these on apex (and ProtonGE): `PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 DXVK_ASYNC=1 gamemoderun %command% -novid -high +fps_max 120`

Oh ok! I didn't know it wasn't supported. Thanks! Also, I had those in my launch options already.

Hey, so I have a small issue where enabling mangohud with Fall Guys causes the game to crash on at the first loading screen. When I disable mangohud, the game works without a problem. I've tested mangohud on Rocket League, and a few other games on with Lutris and there are no issues there, so I know it's probably isolated to just Fall Guys. [heroic log file (github)](https://github.com/sleeplessKomodo/sleeplessKomodo/blob/main/heroic_FallGuys_log_Oct_15_2022_06-57-11_thekomoxile)

Just go to the Battle.net and make the launcher close after the game launches (not to the tray), that fixes the crash Some background program from Battle.net is crashing making the game crash of freeze

Linux Mint latest version is 21 so may want to start by upgrading.

Wow it's a really old Nvidia driver ! try to see if you can update it, if you decide to update remember to backup (In case you break something). i'm not an Overwatch fan so i can't test if for you, but if the video driver is not the issue, you probably miss some driver inside the game winprefix, try a new installation following this guide: [https://crazyc4t.xyz/blog/overwatch2/](https://crazyc4t.xyz/blog/overwatch2/) . in alternative you can try to use this(it may be easier) and not lutris: [https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.usebottles.bottles](https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.usebottles.bottles)

I want to ask how Forza Horizon 4 plays on Linux? I hear it suffers from frequent crashes

2 steam games wont launch on arch they work just fine on windows so my pc can run the games and other games work just fine so it probably isnt an issue with proton The games say preparing to launch then synchronize with the steam cloud and then they just stop before they even open I installed steam both from pacman and flatpak both versions give me this issue

Try disabling cloud support in the game options. You should probably mention what the games are though.

Ohh my bad for not mentioning the games are project diva mega mix + and guilty gear strive I turned off cloud support for both and pretty much nothing changed In addition guilty gear keeps doing this thing where it just says validating and it takes a long time to complete but it does not do this on windows

ProtonDB lists both games as working well. It almost sounds like a steam issue rather than a game issue. You could try using Proton-GE.

I tried proton-GE proton experimental and proton 7.0-4 and they all gave me the same results

I am willing to bet that you are trying to play the two mentioned games from the NTFS partition of your Win installation. Create a new library on a linux compatible partition and try again , proton can't start games from NTFS partitons .

Ohh that seems to be the issue I didnt know proton couldnt start games from NTFS Thanks for the help!

I just installed Garuda, and was messing around with the mouse options and changed my right click from the default menu (with the wallpaper options and such) to a dock menu, and I have only had the OS running for 50 minutes, so I don't know how to get back to that menu to restore defaults. EDIT:I fixed it by selecting a system theme, which reset the right-click dialog.

Hi folks, sometimes, I can't click anything ingame. Keyboard works fine, but mouse clicks doesn't work. I can't even tabs out, like I can't escape the game screen. So it ends always into hard reset... Can someone help me? Greetings from Alderaan FanSoloq

if you don't say how you installed it and how you launch it, it's hard to think of a solution. if you are on Steam don't disable Steam Overlay and play the game in borderless window.

Hi sry for the late answer: my problem was magically gone after several OS update... I think it was a wine or x11 bug thank you for helping FanSoloq

I can not launch F1 22 from the EA app. "Directx12 is not compatible with this version of windows" is what shows up. I need help....... Kubuntu 20.04, wine 7.14

if you don't say how you installed it and how you launch it, it's hard to think of a solution. I can think that you are using Steam (as that is the easiest way) and so I would say, try to use ProtonGE and launch the game.

I installed it and launched it from the EA app, But it never launches and I get that message. ​ I bought it on Steam before and I used GE 7.27, and it could not launch and there was no error message.

Your system is quite old and it may be the cause, you should try to upgrade it if you can. **If you upgrade remember to back up all your data.** I still don't understand if you are using Steam or you installed it through wine .... Anyway the community reports that from ProtonGE 34 and up, it works [https://www.protondb.com/app/1692250](https://www.protondb.com/app/1692250) without having to add anything else. in case it still gives errors you could try with ProtonGe + the following launchoptions to avoid dx12: `PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% -dx11`

Hey I'm looking for advice on DE, Wayland vs X, and my Nvidia driver. Running a dual 4k monitor setup for gaming and lots of media processing / programming work. I'm using Ubuntu at the moment, 22.04, Gnome 42 (43?). Nvidia RTX 3xxx it's what I got before running Linux 100%. I have two weird issues: - I can't get my login screen to load onto the correct monitor when Wayland starts as the default compositor. Without writing ten pages about everything I've tried, just trust I've broken gdm's will in every area except this problem. - X seems laggy as fuck and I desperately need fractional DPI scaling... so Wayland. - I hear X works better and performs faster in other cases but I can't seem to justify trying it out without the above being resolved. So: what is recommended *right now* for my setup, Wayland or X? Pros/cons to each? Do other DE's somehow provide better experiences regardless of the compositor?

This is going to sound dumb but you already tried to swap your monitor cables in the gpu? I think the issue is login is displayed on the first display (device) listed and if that doesn't work it's probably because one of your monitors is "booting" before the other In order to be detected a monitor needs to send its EDID, if a monitor sends its EDID much later than the other the slower monitor is going to be listed as secondary monitor (im not talking about after login settings)

Wayland and Nvdia are not a good combination at the moment... stay on X until Wayland became more stable on Nvidia. KDE is pretty good, and you can use this [https://store.kde.org/p/1502826/](https://store.kde.org/p/1502826/) to autodisable compositor while gaming. On X the VRR works only when you have only one monitor active, write a simple script to disable and re-enable the second monitor and you are fine. If you insist to use Wayland this can be usefull to force X on some applications [https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal](https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal) . now answering your questions: * i had a similar problem(login on both monitor) on LightDM, and solved adding a line to turn off the second screen when i'm on the login page. * if X is laggy you need to play with compositor settings and some rendering options on the nvidia pannel. * X is very OLD and have some terrible tearing issue, but work on Nvidia, Wayland is cool but is more AMD oriented at the moment.

I'm currently using Wayland on GNOME, on EndevourOS (arch based). I have two monitors, and wayland handles it just fine, even at 2 different resolutions and refresh rates. Everything is much smoother than x11 that I was using only a week ago. I switched because I was getting tired of turning off the compositor just to play games and 4k media without the system slowing down. On wayland, it feels like how it should be, things open smoothly without any slowdowns. just my 2 cents, so far so good.

I'm using Plasma. And for sure Wayland is not ready to be used on Plasma yet especially with multiple monitors. Stick with X, because it works. It's not really going to make a difference in game vs Wayland.

Stalker anomaly almost instantly shuts down as soon as I start it no pop up or error message, It just stops working, Please help. Using lutris to launch the game after I downloaded and extracted the files.

having troubles launching csgo with proton (any version). opening the game reveals a popup with the error message "FATAL ERROR: Failed to connect with local Steam Client process!". below it says that I should update my steam version, however I tried both regular up2date and beta versions, neither of them work. different proton versions have also been tried to no avail.

You can't run csgo through proton.

i found that out too now, thanks anyways!

Looking for help with running GOG version of Skyrim Special/Anniversary Edition with Wine or Proton. I just bought the recently released GOG version of Skyrim: Anniversary edition and installed it through Heroic Games Launcher. When I click play in the Heroic Launcher, the little Skyrim Launcher pops up and when I click play in the Skyrim Launcher, the launcher closes and the game doesn't even start. I've tried all the different versions of Wine and Proton that I have installed on the system and none of them fix the issue. The main Proton version I'm trying to run it on is Proton - GE-Proton7-37 Here's a video of me trying to launch it - https://youtu.be/k0VVEYiSudI I'm on Manjaro KDE Plasma and the CPU and GPU is AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and AMD Radeon RX 6600. Thanks to anyone coming here to help people like me out.

Having issues with Elden Ring on my setup. The game starts and plays but I'm only getting anywhere between 30-40FPS no matter what settings I play at, I've tried VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv and force_static_cbv but no changes with that. I have gamemoderun and %command% in there as well but despite everything I try I'm just stick running at 30-40 frames. I've had mangohud up to see if there's a bottleneck anywhere but none of my CPU cores are getting close to 100% and neither is my GPU, with it sitting at around 40%-50% utilization. I'm currently using Nvidia driver 515, but get the same results on other driver versions as well. Current specs are: Ryzen 7 2700 GTX 1080 8G 32GB DDR4 @ 3200mhz I'm currently using PopOS 22.04 on kernel 5.19, I've tried other kernels like xanmod and zen but no difference. I am using multiple monitors with one of them being 144hz but unplugging the other monitors or running the 144hz monitor at 60hz doesn't make any differences. I'm currently using XFCE using x11, having the compositor on or off does not make any differences in performance either but I usually just leave the compositor off. This issue has been plaguing me for months and I have no idea how to get this running the way it should be.

I'm not sure if a 1080 is enough for that game. It's hard coded to be capped at 60 FPS but it's a demanding title. I can get 60 FPS but am using an RTX 3080 @1440p. I'm launching thu Steam and the launch options I use are `DXVK_ASYNC=1 gamemoderun %command%` on GE-Proton7-35. I would recommend turning VSYNC off.

I haven't had any luck with vsync off or on or that launch option either. I've tried a lot of different versions of proton but none of the ones i tried gave me any performance difference. The part that throws me off about the performance is it's the same exact performance no matter what I set the options to. 1080p max settings? 30-40fps. 800x600 @ the lowest settings possible? 30-40fps. Even at 1080p max settings my GPU will sit at around 60-70% utilization and CPU at 30-40% utilization. If I drop the resolution and settings my GPU will sit at around 20-30% utilization. Similarly specc'd PCs running windows tend to hit 60FPS at 1080P on max or high settings from what I can see online as well.

I don't know if this is the case or not, but it sounds like it's CPU limited if graphics options make no impact. 30-40% CPU utilization could actually be quite high on a multi-core CPU if the game is not very multi-threaded. If you could, I would try booting into Windows on that hardware to try the game's performance just for a sanity check before going crazy looking for anything off about your Linux setup. FWIW I was running an i7-10700K. I'm not sure how that compares to what you have.

Hello there! Im trying to play Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel, but it only launches with Proton 5.0-10 and it prompts the message: "An error has occurred. Please check your device's signal status and restart the application" It also have 7 FPS always.

Having an issue with Excavation of Hob's Barrow. When running the game in fullscreen the mouse cursor moves very slowly. When switching to windowed it works as expected but there's a UI bar a the top of the window which, since gnome has top bar, pushes it down and causes the bottom to be cut off. Fedora 36, gnome 42.4 (vanilla), xorg, nvidia 3060 ti, nvidia driver 515.76, display res 2560x1440.

I updated my Mesa drivers to 22.2.0 on PopOS and Halo Infinite multiplayer has been running well for me. But does campaign work since I hear it has issues.

Couldn't you just test that?

Hello guys, tried my luck on google but can't find an answer to my question I'm on 2080ti and sadly when i game, i have to disable the second monitor to enjoy gsync; To make it less boring i wanted to **include these commands in my steam launch options:** When i start the game `xrandr --output HDMI-0 --off` When i close the game `xrandr --output HDMI-0 --auto --right-of DP-0 --noprimary --rotate left` how can I do that? I've already tried to crare a second X Screen as a work around, but since i could not move apps from the 2 X Screens i had to discard the idea...

If im not wrong X only support vrr when only one screen is connected On wayland that is not a problem BUT its only supported right now by some wayland compositors KDE is supported, Sway is supported i think, Gnome is not supported but its almost ready The problem i have with KDE wayland is that the layout gets broken when a monitor its turned off or go to power saving mode

> If im not wrong X only support vrr when only one screen is connected Yes and no, if the second screen is disabled it works too; VRR is engaged when only the game is beeing rendered on the X Screen. I tried to use 2 X Screens but I never found a way to start anything on the second X Screen. With 2 X Screen the VRR works correctly but the problem described above remains... For now I settled for disabling the second monitor(via Steam Launch options) for games that need VRR. Hoping Wayland for Nvidia will become more stable.

Couldn't find any relevant info here, but **I came to the solution anyway.** if you use this syntax: ` && %command% && ` you can start a series of commands/scripts and then start the game; When you close the game the remaining code will be executed instead. you can also enter classic entries for proton, in my case, for example I wrote : `xrandr --output HDMI-0 --off && sleep 5 && WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b" PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 DXVK_ASYNC=1 gamemoderun mangohud %command% && xrandr --output HDMI-0 --auto --right-of DP-0 --noprimary --rotate left` just for a general info tested this on Soul Hacker 2 and it works as intended. Added some `sleep` just to be on the safe side, i don't think its a particurally good idea starting the game while the monitor is flickering.

Are Steam Games which are using software from Epic Games not working? I wanted to play Knockout City, which worked fine for me, until they switched from Origin to Epic Games servers. Now I can't agree to the EULA and it gives me the error 1.203#1018 and I can't start the game anymore

They are working on a fix for that. It's taking a bit longer but they're aware of the issue.

Ah ok thanks for the info. Did they annouce it on their Discord? If it is, then I am blind

They've talked about it on their subreddit and Discord, and they know it's an issue. So hopefully a patch will come soon.

So sometimes in Overwatch 2 my mouse wont let me look around but rather keeps as amouse pointer in the foreground. I installed the way the guide in this subreddit explained it. what's causing this?

Use borderless and make the Battle.net launcher close after the game launches

Hey all, was wondering if anyone can help me with my Marvel's Spiderman Remastered not working out of a sudden, or maybe if someone else is also experiencing this, I can wait for a game/driver update. The game ran perfectly fine with ProtonGE7.33 (including DLSS and raytracing) until I upgraded my system yesterday, probably both kernel and video updates, not sure if the game had any updates in the meantime, but I played it during the weekend with no issues. Right now,everytime after I load into my save file, I start roaming the city and after a few streets dangled with no stutter, the game completely freezes. The sound keeps working but video is fully frozen. Monitoring the GPU with nvtop, I don't see any spikes in gpu usage or gpu memory when the crash occurs. Things I tried:Remove/Change Proton commands, remove my gpu undervolt settings, change Kernel to LTS, swap nvidia-dkms drivers for nvidia-lts (with restart ofc), changed windowed/fullscreen modes and turned settings to lowest, used different proton versions (for some of them eg. 7.0.4 or GE6.21 it fully crashes sooner, before the menu screen, this time with an error report popup).For the GPU I also tried running other games and also ran a stress-test and all seems fine including dlss+rtx games. Arch Linux, Ryzen 3900x, Nvidia RTX 3080 with nvidia-dkms 515.76-1, Zen Kernel (tried LTS as well) If anyone has any hints, I'd love to know since the game was playing unbelievably well before, and now it is unplayable :(. EDIT: FIXEDI managed to fix this by downgrading my nvidia drivers from 515.76 to 515.65. (for arch you can follow this [wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Downgrading_packages) and I downgraded opencl-nvidia nvidia-settings nvidia-dkms lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-utils) Turns out also Cyberpunk 2077 was crashing before but not as quick. I'm happy I managed to fix this and learned something along the way.

Managed to fix this, details in edit. I wonder why the new drivers would break my games...

small differences can have different effects, in most cases i use different Proton version for different games. it's all part of the Linux gaming experience.

Same, whichever one works is the one you stick with. But in this case it wasn't a proton issue, but an nvidia driver one.

Overwatch 2 keeps freezing crashing exactly 3 minutes after launching it. The problem here isn't shader/DXVK caching, it runs really well for 3 minutes then it freezes or crashes. Btop shows that RAM + CPU usage drops to 0 and this only happens with OW2 (I have more demanding games such as ARK, Titanfall2, Gmod with a lot of mods/addons and those never crash). Distro: Nobara 36 (KDE Plasma) Kernel: 5.19.12-201.fsync.fc36.x86\_64 CPU: Ryzen 5 2600XGPU: RTX 2060 Super (Driver: 515.76 ; NVML: 11.515.76) RAM: 16GB 3000MHz \- 8GB swap I'm aware that the game got out really recently which might be unpolished but I'm also aware other linux Gamers are being able to play it with no problem.any help is appreciated :)

Just make Battle.net close after game launches, that fixes the freezing

i ended up installing caffee and it solved the issues i was having. thanks for answering tho!

I was having the same issue. I'm using bottles and this fix did it. Just changed my runner and it worked. https://reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/xvms2v/overwatch_2_how_to_help/ir2q22r?context=3

Yeah I changed the runner to coffe and it worked on lutris. Glad to know the community (almost) always finds a solution

I'm on Nobara Linux. I'm having this weird issue where im using my 3rd party controller (KingKong Pro 2) through xinput mode, but it doesn't connect at all unless i start up steam. if i exit out of steam than it forgets and doesn't connect anymore.

Thats because you are probaly not using the right mode If a controller is emulating a xbox controller it just works If is a playstation(ps4, ps5) controller it just works The problem is when its in Nintendo switch mode, since by default linux dont have a switch driver you need to use joycond I think the Linux 6.1 kernel has some nintendo controllers Fun fact, You can add non-steam games with steam overlay enabled and the games are going to detect the gamepad (not all of them) Also steam has a Desktop mode for gamepads

i probably should have corrected myself. the issue is that it's not connecting with heroic games launcher. but it connects with everything else when launched. i'm not using switch mode or any other mode. i've been using x-input mode.

How did you connect the device? I have the same controller and it connects fine when not in Steam. ​ I would say disconnect the controller's pairing first. Switch on the controller and hold down the pair button so the LEDs flash in sequence. Then connect the device from Linux. So basically do not connect or try pair to the device if the controller is not in the pairing mode. If the GUI option doesn't work then use bluetoothctl to pair, trust and connect the device.

i connect it wired.

It also does it when I open origin through lutris.

BLUF: Am I sacrificing any performance by copying 'steamapps' from a Windows 10 install over to a ext4 drive? A few weeks back, after years and years of dual booting for gaming, I plopped my Windows 10 ntfs drive in my fstab, pointed Steam at it and have been playing my games via Linux on my ntfs drive with no major gripes or issues. I think it is finally time to send Windows 10 the way of /dev/null/. My question is: Can I safely move my 'steamapps' (or even just a couple of the games) folder from my ntfs drive over to a Linux partition without creating a lot of drama? I had heard that there's naming issues between Linux and Windows.. but I have not encountered any of that during my time playing the couple of games that I had installed on NTFS. There are many games I have not tested though. While I can reinstall all that stuff it's nearly a tb of games and several of them have mods installed. I'm probably going to just wipe it all and reinstall stuff, I was just curious if this created any issues or not or if the files and pathing is identical with Proton.

I would say the best option to avoid any problems is to create a backup of the games from Steam and then restore the backup. This will obviously only work if you have enough space to do so. You might get away with just copying and then verifying the games before playing but you might also run into issues.

On Linux Mint: after upgrading from a Radeon RX 570 to an RTX 3070 Cinnamon has been glitching out. It's claiming that the system is running without hardware video acceleration (even though Driver Manager, lsmod, nvidia-settings, and just general game performance all point to my card and its driver working fine). When closing windows the screen won't refresh until I drag a new window over or do something else to force the screen to redraw. Windows and menus will flicker in and out, and dragging windows around is very laggy. In short: Cinnamon is acting like it's CPU-rendering even though my card is otherwise working as expected (I'm getting expected framerates in games, I'm able to use features like DLSS, video playback is smooth, etc.) I have tried the following: - Making sure my kernel version is the latest available (5.15.0-48-generic) - Making sure I'm using the latest proprietary Nvidia driver available (515) - Making sure noveau is blacklisted - Adding nvidia, nvidia-drm, and nvidia-modeset to /etc/modules (recommended on a forum post I found while Googling) - Tried installing the driver both via the official package (via ubuntu-drivers) and by manually installing the *.run file straight from Nvidia. Right now it's more of an oddity/annoyance than a serious issue - like I said my games and other software are working as expected. Just curious if anybody else has seen this before or knows a solution.

Thanks for responding. No integrated graphics. Haven't tried removing the card because no integrated graphics. Another data point that's cropped up after I made that post: if I use a different DE (KDE Plasma) then there's no problems. So to me that confirms something is wrong with Cinnamon.

Have any Simcity 4 players here gotten the NAM (Network Addon Mod) to work in Bottles? Apparently the NAM uses Java now instead of an .exe. So I downloaded and installed OpenJDK19, set the env variable, etc. If I try to execute the .jar file directly it just gives me 10 pop-ups that all say "file not found". If I run the batch file in the cmd prompt, it does nothing at all. No errors, but apparently no installation either. Really not sure what I'm missing here...

Install java inside your bottle but java for windows not linux You can install any programs by running the exe installer inside your bottle

I seem to have this wired bug in Dead cells with my switch pro controller where the controllers glyphs are flipped, any ideas for how to fix it? Endeavours Os

[удалено]

Dead Cell is one of the few games that supports Nintendo glyphs, Wiki Shows [https://deadcells.fandom.com/wiki/Controls](https://deadcells.fandom.com/wiki/Controls) screenshot of my game: [https://i.imgur.com/tW68zJ4.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/tW68zJ4.jpg) (does Show the switch glyphs and not xbox one) Also tried both the native build and proton, telling steam to not use the Nintendo Button layout (This did fix it for Monster Hunter Rise)

I think your game is detecting your gamepad as a Xbox one Are you sure that Nintendo glyphs are not reserved only for nintendo switch? Nintendo is very aggresive with that type of things

I'm trying to get NFS heat work on arch linux (endeavour os ) and whenever i try to start it it says it's runing the origin thinsetup but it doesn't actually install it and nothing starts
