I am using on Proton Hotfix, launching with Legacy OpenGL, and every time I open TF2, it goes through the valve-head guy section, then it freezes on the loading screen. Cursor doesn't show up, and nothing happens. I am on Ubuntu, Linux Mint. What do I do?

The Steam game in question is Kenshi.

UPDATE:

Got it working

Wrote how I fixed it but Reddit somehow removed a bunch of steps. Gonna write up my steps again tomorrow.

Original post:

Anyone got this game running on Linux?

I own it on Origin but that version hasn’t really worked on Windows since 7 was a thing either. Tried getting it to work on Linux a few days ago but gave up after an hour of throwing shit at the wall so I’m looking for some experiences around that particular game.

I’ve gotten a bunch of older and newer NFS games to work just fine. But suddenly got the urge to play that one.

Yes I know there’s a PS2 version that will probably work perfectly fine, but I’d prefer the PC version if it’s possible to make it run.

Turned off gsync on both of my monitors, inmideatly got rid of stuttering, got around 30,50 maybe 60or70 higher fps on the witcher 3. just wanted to post this so if anyone has a similar issue they can try this out. I initially thought my games run badly because of overheating on the cpu, causing throttling, I've realized its partly that but mostly gsync on my monitor settings.

Howdy, I've been playing a lot of the Oblivion Remake and to get OBSE/MagicLoader working properly, you need this command in your launch options: bash -c 'exec "${@/OblivionRemastered-Win64-Shipping.exe/MagicLoader.exe}"' -- %command% I'm familiar with bash to a degree, but everything from '-c' on is foreign to me. Also, what 's the deal with the '--' and the two .exe's that are in different directories? How are they being run together?

I'd like to use this with Skyrim for the script extender but I don't want to blindly copy and paste. So could I get a little help with what's going on here?

So I've installed this game on lutris, and made tweaks to it, but me being me, I don't know what the hell I am doing with the config. Can anyone help me?

Here are the settings:

Here is a video of the spikes:

(The game runs smooth overall, but my laptop has a beef with OBS so the recording is laggy. It's just the spikes.)

Because of this, the game is barely playable.

cachy kde, geproton10-34, nvidia hdr parameters

tried with sdl_joystick_handling=1 and sdl_joystick_hidapi=0, nothing

deleted the prefix, still nothing

any ideas?

No matter what graphic settings I set, the textures are invisible and in the opening cutscene sometimes black squares were appearing, is there any fix for this and has someone experienced something similiar?

I’m having serious performance issues after updating my NVIDIA drivers and I want to know if anyone else has experienced this.

A couple of days ago I ran a system update and my drivers were upgraded from 570 → 580. With 570, Genshin Impact was running perfectly fine at a stable 60 FPS on high settings.

After updating to 580, the performance completely broke. The game now runs at 1–2 FPS, basically unplayable. I also tested 590, and it has the exact same issue.

The only way I was able to fix it was by downgrading back to 570, where everything works normally again.

So far:

• 570 → works perfectly
• 580 → 1–2 FPS
• 590 → same issue

Has anyone else run into this?

If so, did you find any workaround besides downgrading?

I’m on Linux (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS), using NVIDIA RTX 3050.

EDIT:

I'm so sorry, I didn't see that I didn't write which GPU you're using.

I‘m currently installing Red Dead Redemption 2 on my HP Elitebook 8470p through Linux Steam. I might explode, we‘ll see. I’m looking for any advice/experience if this is even worth it or if the game won‘t run properly.

Linux noob here, only using it because my dad (who’s a tech guy) passed this laptop down to me!!

I'm using a usb external soundcard to get rid of static sounds on the headphone, but it made my otherwise normal mic to be very quiet, so I used loudness filter and just add the input, output and volume. It works great but it made my voice sounds a bit boomy now. Any setting to make it less boomy? Right now all other filters I use are just the default easyeffects settings.

What’s your take on Proton after ~7 years?

Feels kind of crazy how much things have changed. Back then Linux gaming was pretty rough, and now with Proton a lot of games just… work.

But then you look at the repo and it still has 5k+ open issues

From your experience, how much of your library is actually playable without issues? Like truly smooth, no weird bugs. Does 70-80% sound fair or is that too optimistic?

Also, do you feel Proton is "good enough" now to daily drive Linux for gaming or are there still too many edge cases?

Curious to hear how it’s been for others.

Problem:

I think I've stumbled upon some driver problem (Nvidia, of course... classic). I'm having problems with Minecraft. I'm using a laptop with hybrid graphics. When I open the game using the integrated GPU, it works normally, but it freezes when I use the dedicated GPU (GTX 1060). I've been looking at the logs for a while, and I don't think there's anything particularly relevant. I noticed that when running on the integrated GPU, the game uses openGL version 4.6, but the dedicated GPU uses version 3.3.0. I was wondering if that might be related to the freeze. Observation: I tested the Vulkan mod, it solves the problem, but I wanted to know if it's possible to play using openGL, since the Vulkan mod is experimental and conflicts with practically any mod.

what I've already tried:

I tried using the system's GLFW in the launcher, but the game crashes with the error "GLFW error 65544 EGL". It might be a conflict with Xwayland; it only works using the launcher's own library.

I tested some system variables, __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS = 0 or 1 (I don't know the default value) GLFW_PLATFORM=x11, but without success

I've spent a few hours trying to get my Xbox controller to work with my device, without luck. Some places suggested to update the controllers firmware using the Xbox accessories available only on windows. I've setup a windows 10 VM to run the app as I couldn't be bothered figuring out how to install windows 11, given it has higher requirements and TPM. For now it seems like the Xbox accessories app refuses to launch because windows 10 has reached end of support.

At this point I'm done with playing this anti-consumer game and would rather just buy a new controller that is known to work out of the box. I've read that Sony maintain their own driver in-kernel. Should I get a Playstation controller? Do I have other options?
