it's called My Beautiful Faraway, a short, surreal, melancholic walking sim inspired by older adventure games where you have to explore, pay attention to small details, and figure things out on your own without much guidance.

the gameplay is pretty simple: mostly walking around, talking to strange characters, and solving occasionally unconventional puzzles. a first playthrough takes around 3 hours, but there are multiple endings, optional content, and plenty of things you might miss.

the game is made in godot and has a native linux version, so there's no need for proton or any other compatibility layers. i also tried to make sure it works well with different hardware and controllers :)

Deadlock freezes mid-match, usually during heavy fights with lots of effects. The game and the screen lock up and the only fix is to log out and log back in. After logging back in, the laptop fans spin up loudly.
System:
Fedora 44, tried both niri (Wayland) and GNOME (Wayland), same result in both
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU, 6 GB VRAM, 16 GB RAM
Proprietary driver 615.71.09 (nvidia-smi and vulkaninfo work fine, the GPU is detected as discrete)
Steam + Proton, tried both default Proton and latest GE-Proton

Hello everyone. It is not my first time modding a game, at least it wouldn't be on Windows and it worked great on Windows 11, the game even started up, but I can't get it to run on Linux Mint with mods.

I have installed following mods:

- Tace.lite

- FusionFix (that comes with Tace.lite)

- the Radio mod that you need for Tace.lite

- Liberty Legacy Trainer

I already added all the .dll files in the pfx for 12210 (which is GTA IV), I tried running the command ( WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8" %command% ) on Steam in properties and I am using the version of Proton GE 11.7.

Keep in mind: The game worked great with only Liberty Legacy Trainer, the radio mod that you need for Tace.lite and FusionFix. I installed FusionFix before I installed Tace.lite.

My problem is that the game starts up and I can choose which game I want to play (GTA IV or GTA EFLC) and then I click on a game, for example GTA IV, the game goes to the loading screen and the furthest I have come until now is it wanting to start a new game and showing that in the bottom right corner, but not loading it, instead it crashed.

On Windows I was able to install the GTA IV mods without a single problem and they started the game and I was able to play it.

I really hope somebody can help me with the problem of it not starting, because I can't seem to find it out myself and I would really like to play the game again.

Howdy

Does anyone plays Witchfire here on the new kernels ?

Under VKD3D VRAM fills slow/releases on loading but on a second run/map it never drops back it just fills and fills until it bugs out fully and GPU usage will be constant 99% FPS 1...and nothing helps at all beside if i am lucky only to pause it for 10min then drops back down to 5G VRAM but this is a small chance.

Will attach some images as well it does not matter much but its there just to say DXVK performs smoother but less performance overall compared to VKD3D but this is just to show what happens under that specific run nothing more.

Now tested DXVK on it and VRAM is always filled at max almost never drops either not even on loading but performances suffer a bit compared to VKD3D but never causes an issue at all and the game will remain playable on long runs without hitching much or even dropping in to 1FPS areas.

Compared to the old kernel 6.19 RAM usage was higher with some extra swap usage while VRAM also was the same pretty much but the outcome was smoother overall.

Under VKD3D Kernel 7+ unsure which or when this started as prior to Aug last i did play had no such issue beside the usual unoptimized game as it is by it self is known to be not optimized at all much.

And logs show this now days that i found funny while under the LTS kernel does not.
Tested GE 10-34/26 since that was the last and tested stable for me working good with some issues on top but still instead of blaming the 11.7 which has more issues now days.
But this is not the case they both behave the same under Kernel 7+.
Its Cachy Kernel by the way both.

Was thinking to report it on VKD3D but when tested the LTS kernel did not trigger the issue...
And so i did say its GE Proton broke something again as usual...but neither that was (Beside the Dishonored bug keyboard not working under 11.x) sure this i ruled out that is neither one to blame but the Kernel rather something changed how it handles VRAM usage or overall Memory usage.

The only way is kinda chat here and get some ideas maybe you all have something to share to.

Very mediocre gameplay skills, but just wanted to showcase this game mode running on Linux for those looking to scratch the Warzone itch o:
(Tested using the RX 9060XT 16GB + Ryzen 7 5700X3D using Proton-Wineland)

so i bought galactic racer the other day through steam and ive been trying to play it again today and now it wont stop crashing. i can load it up and after not even 5 minutes it crashes! i have no idea what could be causing this as it worked fine yesterday (bar a one off crash, worded fine after)

ubuntu distro if that matters? sry im still learning Linux in general.

I created a web app to see, search and check all the games (which are connected to Lutris) I have easily.
My main issue was when I go to purchase some game but I don;t remember if I already own it because of the multiple platforms we have nowadays. And there was no easy way to just search if I already own it.
I basically built : a local browser interface for Linux users who already connect their accounts through Lutris, with edition-aware ownership checks.
And yes, I used AI (codex) to make it.

Give it a try

Hey everyone! I’m currently on Windows, so I can’t demonstrate this directly, but I’m planning to switch back to CachyOS soon and wanted to figure out what’s causing this:

Whenever I use LSFG-VK, some games suffer from extreme slowdown feeling like they're running in slow motion. Others, like the last of us part 2, don't slow down but have intense ghosting instead, looking as if frame generation were set to 20x rather than 2x. To make matters worse, frame gen doesn't even feel active, offering zero added smoothness.

I usually launch LSFG-VK via Goverlay and use an in-game overlay to monitor FPS. How can I fix this? Could it be related to Goverlay?

My specs:

R7 5700X, 16GB and a RX9060XT

I created an app that sets up a gaming Linux machine in the "cloud" ish (it is not running on datacenters).The entire pipeline for provisioning runs locally.

What the app does is go to Vast.ai, select a PC, connect to it via SSH, and run a bunch of setup steps and optimizations, including:

• VM/Vast.ai and SSH configuration
• Package management and APT recovery
• Storage, networking, lifecycle, and eBPF agents
• NVIDIA drivers, GPU persistence, and reboot handling
• Sunshine/NVENC configuration
• Audio and microphone setup
• WireGuard, routing, firewall, buffers, and MTU optimization
• Tunnel validation and Moonlight pairing
• App discovery and optional compatibility features
• Parallel execution, precompiled agents, checksums, adaptive polling, resuming interrupted operations, fewer SSH calls, safe cancellation, and diagnostics

you can see the code here https://github.com/FelipeBarrosCode/no_land

Among many other things.

And here's the result:

Cyberpunk 2077 running at Ultra settings, at 3K resolution and 60 FPS, with only 62 ms of latency over a distance of more than 4,000 km. (I'm in Vancouver, and the machine is in Quebec.)

There's a demo of this on my website: https://no-land.net/

The app is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Android, iOS, and VR versions are coming soon!

Yes I do have persiantnce storage across inatnces depending on how the person saves it.

Any questions just respond to the post :)

Hi,

I installed Lutris on Ubuntu 26.04 to play Anno 1800 and Diablo 3, using Ubisoft Connect and Battle.net.

I am using a LenovoT14s connected to a docking station with a 2560x1080 monitor as primary display.

The scale in the Ubuntu display options for all monitors is set to 100%

DPI scaling in Lutris for Uconnect is set to 96 DPI - (automatically after install). When i launch Ubisoft Connect, it is very tiny - scaling is obviously wrong. Same with Battle.net

When i set the scaling DPI for Ubisoft Connect to 192 manually in the runner options, the size and scaling seems to be correct. BUT when i try to launch ANNO 1800 from Uconnect, it refuses to run correctly. When launching the game, the game window jumps between montitors for a few seconds and then it settles on the primary display, but with a very very blurry picture not readable at all. Sometimes it does not even lauch and crashes during startup.

But after hours of troubleshooting, i found a weird workaround - by accident. When i hot plug the USB-C from the docking station after system boot, Uconnect scales correctly with a 96 DPI setting. (with the manually set 192 it is way to big now - but had the correct size before the hot plug) And also ANNO 1800 launches and plays just fine. Battle.net behaves exactly the same.

What i need to do now is, after a system reboot, i need to disconnect and connect the docking station, and then all scaling and games work just fine. ANNO 1800 only works when the Ubisoft Connect interface has the correct size with a 96 DPI setting, any different combination causes issues.

Does anyone have an idea what the hot plug triggers and what i need to do to make it work without disconnecting and connecting the dock after every restart?

Thanks

Peter

I've been playing Horizon: Forbidden West through Steam on CachyOS without any issues for a couple of weeks now. It's been perfectly smooth.

Tonight I get home from work and go to play some HFW and the button briefly turns blue, flashes something briefly and then turns back to green and says Play.

Now, I've already solved this problem. I had to install the latest GE-Proton, 11-9. I was previously using 11-6. I've been running updates every night before I start playing, and I did the same tonight. When that didn't work I fired up ProtonUp-qt and installed GE-Proton 11-9, restarted Steam, adjusted compatibility accordingly and it worked. Other than running OS updates and whatever updates Steam runs itself, nothing had changed.

My question is, why did I suddenly have to switch Proton versions when the version I had been using worked perfectly fine for almost a month? This kind of thing is what will turn the mainstream gamer off of Linux. I'm tech savvy enough to have figured it out and I'm sure most people here are as well, but it's still very inconvenient and will turn people off.

Acabo de instalar CachyOS, ya que no tengo nada que me mantenga en Windows. La única razón por la cual no cambiaba de sistema operativo era el Valorant, pero con las últimas actualizaciones que han estado saliendo se me ha hecho prácticamente imposible jugar, inclusive tirando varias veces pantalla azul. Después de recibir un baneo de 3 meses por abandonar una competitiva a causa de un pantallazo azul, decidí abandonar el Valorant y me cambié a Linux. Ahora tengo amigos satanizando Linux xd y que es lo peor que pude haber hecho... (literalmente le estoy dando una segunda oportunidad hasta que empiece a armar mi PC).

Ya tengo experiencia usando Linux, así que no me siento frustrado y hay un montón de tutoriales. ¿Qué recomiendan para nuevos usuarios?

I’m a complete lynix mint noob who just downloaded steam on the software manager as the first thing and now my audio fails while booting left 4 dead 2, with only starting the campaign and walking out the door killing the game with a freeze.

I’ve read there’s supposedly optimizations and stuff on lynyx: is there additional stuff I should download?

CachyOS user. I’m trying to use my Switch 2 pro controller with my desktop because the right bumper on my Xbox controller broke for the second time within a month and a half. Despite Steam recognizing the controller through USB, it does not detect any inputs. How do I fix this?

I’m not sure if this is a bug, but since the latest Proton update, Xalia has been consuming a considerable amount of RAM, whereas it previously used virtually none. I’ve also noticed that Steam itself is using significantly more memory than before.

Since I rarely use Xalia, I’ve been launching games with PROTON_USE_XALIA=0 to disable it, but having to do this for every game is quite annoying.

Overwatch used to use around 14GB of RAM with only Steam open, but now it’s above 17GB.

Hello. I created a launcher for Runescape that is native to Linux and has support for OSRS Native, Runelite and Runescape 3. OSRS Native is run through wine, the other two have native clients. The launcher handles updates and Jagex sign in as well as downloads the clients within the launcher.

I use Linux on my work PC and want to turn it into a console-like gaming setup when I get home, without changing my OS.

I'm looking for a launcher that can combine retro emulators (GBA, Wii, etc.) and Windows .exe games through Wine/Proton in one controller-friendly interface.

I've looked at Lutris, Heroic, ES-DE, and Pegasus. What would you recommend, and what setup do you use?

I have a Thinkpad with Intel Core Ultra 258v, and in moonlight I have 4:4:4 color enabled, but when I connect from my mac I get a message saying "your pc doesn't support 4:4:4 encode", and core ultra integrated graphics should support it.
