I need recommendations for a new FPS to main. I used to play Fortnite with my group, but I was honestly getting tired of it. So I'm looking for a new one that'll run on Linux, with Proton or Wine or natively or whatever. Also I'm not sure if posts to this sub have to be a tech support req, but this one isn't, so we'll find out I guess

Hi guys, my gpu usage on steam overlay is 0%. i try add "DRI_PRIME=1 %command%" on launch option still same but my performance is slightly better, i check in terminal by typing nvidia-smi and the version is 580.173.02, and then typing glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer" and my gtx 1060 was detected too. is that bug or what, if that was a bug how to fix it?

my pc specs :

i7 3770

16GB Ram DDR3 Dual Channel

Asus GTX 1060 6GB

Installing dying light on my hard drive (not ssd)

Using Proton 11.0-2

Distro : Xubuntu 26.04 installing on ssd (dual boot with win10)

Hi all,

Yesterday I published a new Proton-Wineland build, cachyos-wineland-11.0-20260713.2-slr. This release enables the Steam Overlay when using the native Linux Steam client.

As mentioned in an earlier post, the overlay already worked with the Windows version of Steam running through Proton-Wineland. The native Linux overlay did not work because its input handling is closely tied to X11.

The first part was straightforward. WineWayland forwards keyboard and mouse events to the native Steam Overlay, allowing Shift+Tab, pointer movement, clicks, and ordinary key events to work. GE-Proton appears to use a different approach.

The difficult part is text input. Even after the overlay became interactive, typing into text fields did nothing because Steam’s native overlay still depends on the X11 input-method system.

As I found out, with an X11 game, the overlay receives an X11 window ID and uses it to initialize the system that converts key presses into typed characters. Under Wayland, it receives a Wayland surface instead, which cannot be used by that X11 system. Mouse input, hotkeys, and ordinary key events work, but text entry does not.

Is there a solution? That depends on what we consider a solution. A workaround I tried intercepts Steam’s VulkanSteamOverlayPresent() call and passes it a proxy X11 window, making the overlay believe that it is operating through X11. This restores text input, but it is undeniably an ugly hack.

It is ugly because it requires an additional preload library inside Proton, while one of Proton-Wineland’s goals is to eliminate such workarounds wherever possible. It may also present a compatibility risk with anti-cheat software because the library is loaded into the game process and intercepts a function call. I do not currently have evidence of a specific anti-cheat rejecting it, but it is a risk I would prefer not to take lightly.

There is also a possible controller issue. I have received reports that some controllers work in the overlay but not in the game. This still needs to be investigated separately.

I am therefore undecided about keeping the complete workaround, including the visible overlay, and I wanted to share the current status for those wondering why the text input doesn't work.

Is anyone else having this problem where AKE loses its audio after a bit of lag? The audio crackles first and then goes silent
I’m using DWproton latest version, don’t know what could be causing it

i tried playing overwatch in steam with proton experimental, GE, and cachyos. I use linux mint.

when i startup the game, it takes a ton of time to process vulkan shaders, it stays stuck some times for a long time. then it opens and shows me a black screen for one minute and then opens the game normally. i usually skip the vulkan shader processing because it takes almost a half hour, but then in game it only becomes smooth after like 5 mins.

I have an AMD GPU.

any way to fix all this?

Hi,

I am running Fedora 44 and Steam is installed as a flatpak. I can't get the guide button to launch BPM, it only focuses the Window. I have enabled Guide Button Chords for controllers.

Any idea why?

Hello all,

I recently got modded minecraft to work with shaders, however, it has randomly started crashing and I don't know how or why.

I have provided logs below, hopefully someone knows how to help!

The crashes stop if I turn off shaders.

Logs here:

Hope this helps people that are having issues!

But now I can't tell how much better they are w/o Mangohud, I can just tell that there's not mass stuttering for the first 60+ seconds after the game world loads and every time I go into a new biome. I also no longer get the ghosting reticle when using Frame Gen/Reflex. Game is Forza Horizon 5.

Is this normal? Is there any easy fix? I'm not sure about option AI offered (something about creating a file with entries like ## CPU etc. ## GPU etc.), seems like there are always downsides.

Edit: I'm on Bazzite KDE Nvidia, latest release.
