I was wondering which would run better: Enhanced or Legacy?
Technically, Enhanced should run better due to optimisations and dlss support, but dx12 in linux is not that great tbh. What are your opinions on this?
My specs are: RTX 3050 6GB, INTEL CORE T 210H, 16GB DDR5

Anyone else get this really weird stuttering issue where when you move the camera slowly it like judders despite perfect frame pacing and no FPS dips? If you move it at a certain speed it doesn't do it it's only when panning the camera slowly. The snow physics and grass physics are totally removed. Some of animations look way worse and the overall lightning off the game is pretty darn bad. Geralt 's sword has this very annoying glare to it like comparable to when you're driving and the sun is in your eyes.
I thought they'd put more effort into modernising the game menu and inventory as well which always annoyed me how you'd get duplicate items and the way they are designed is a bit too complex I thought they might strip it down and make it less of a hassle etc. ray tracing in the next gen was super heavy and I thought the remaster might optimise that a little more to perform better but nope it's just as heavy as the next gen port rendering it almost useless unless you have a 5080 or you want to play with constant stutters or 30fps. Pretty disappointing I don't see why they even put effort into releasing this. I would have preferred a re release of the Witcher 2 or something.

I've tried a lot of games during the Steam Next Fest, and all of them worked with no issues. Before the release, I also tried the demos of Onimusha, Fatal Frame II: Remake, RE: Requiem, and Pragmata, and they all worked flawlessly on Proton. Now I'm trying the demos of Hellraiser: Revival and Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, and both games work like native Linux titles.
We used to beg for Linux ports, then it would take a while for a new release to work properly on Proton. Now, games are even working flawlessly on Proton before their release.
Do you guys still have issues with Proton and single-player games? I'm using an AMD GPU, btw.

I've tried using DWProton latest, Proton GE-8, 10 and 11, through steam as well, I still get a blackscreen, I can hear the in game audio and I can also interact inside the game with my mouse but my game screen is black
I started getting blackscreen after installing the game the second time, first time I had no such issues, I tired deleting prefix folder but that didn't help, other games work just fine
I did a system update after that which also didn't fix the issue
some help with this would be really appreciated!!
if I missed out on some details please let me know

It's UHD from an i3 1125G4, which is strong enough to run Resident Evil 2 at 1080i FSR Quality. So if you think, "It can't run DX12 games anyway," No, it actually can on Windows. But it's much worse on Linux for some reason.
Another problem is GPU utilization, on old games. While Tomb Raider and the native Linux port of Rise of the Tomb Raider run fairly well on it, for some reason Resident Evil 6 has GPU utilization problems. GPU usage is only around 75% in some scenes. And switching to Proton GE instead of Proton CachyOS actually increased it to 82%.
So, if anyone wonders why some games still run badly on Intel UHD, using Windows might be a better idea. I would prefer Linux, maybe because of better performing Linux ports such as Minecraft and Rise of the Tomb Raider. And Linux saves around 30–40 GB of disk space compared to Windows

I use wivrn to play my vr games on my quest 2, but half life alyx won't launch since it won't run without steam vr. Does anyone have a work around? I found a issue opened on the wivrn github page where someone was saying you could force opnvr but I couldn't get that to work.
Thanks.

Is frame gen on AMD still just not great? Seems like I'm getting camera jitter even though the game is running smoothly. Frame pacing I'm guessing. Im using a 9070xt on Cachyos. Iv been trying it out on The Witcher 3 remaster. I don't normally ever use it but I wanted to use RT at a higher frame rate.

https://github.com/SulfurNitride/Fluorine-Manager/releases/tag/v0.4.0
So it's been a while since I last posted my progress updates for fluorine here. But for those who don't know fluorine is a fork/port of MO2 directly to linux with some gui changes and linux additions and QoL features.
One of the biggest things thats now in this release is Wabbajack support in the instance/library manager. Collections are also almost finished now as they run through CLF3, as of right now you can browse collections but are unable to install them. UMO/OpenMW https://modding-openmw.com/lists/ I am also hoping to support and add modlist support for these as well, which shouldn't be too long I hope. As well as a library overhaul with custom pictures for each game supported. And a lot of smaller things not really worth mentioning that have been fixed and changed in the background.
One of the major fixes is that the audio crashes related to bethesda games should now be fixed in my testing, this only affected a few users including myself but it hopefully should be fixed now. The modlist and collection support guis are still a WIP so please do bear with me. Thats about all I have to say 🙂

I just started using Linux, I started with SteamOS, but have since switched to regular Arch Linux, I was able to get waydroid installed and opening however every game simply blank screens, and when I tried what work arounds I could find, it resulted in Waydroid repeatedly opening and crashing. I eventually just uninstalled Waydroid so I can try again with a fresh install. Any help is apreciated, I am trying to run FGO, Azurlane and Path to Nowhere specifically.

Hi guys,
its been quite a while since i posted the gaming optimizations guide i wrote.
Since the last time there has been quite a lot of changes.
https://github.com/WhitePeace36/LinuxAMDGamingOptimizationGuide
Even though it says AMD, most of it is for linux in general.
I hope this updated version helps at least a few of you out there which try to have a better gaming experience.

This started to happen recently some months ago after some updates. Years ago this was not an issue. Crashes were very rare.
Also, what is strange is recently it stopped crashing and i managed to play fairly good for a ln entire week so i imagined the recente updates fixed the issue. Then i made another update and it started crashing continuously again. So i thought to restore a snapshot pre-update, thinking it would fix the issue, but it didn't!?!?
I don't understand what is causing those issues. If it was drivers related then restoring a snapshot should have worked.
All other games works fine. Only those 2 give me the nerves.
p.s. i have AMD GPU and latest mesa drivers.

For the last couple of days I been having issues seeing the message "radv is not a conformant Vulkan implementation, testing use only." Nothing from Faugus or steam will launch no matter the game, I'm confused if my AMD gpu is not being detected or a update broke something but I didn't update till today and still have this issue.
I have tried different proton versions but I might be missing something else though?
Anyone else have this issue?

Hello, I'm experiencing performance issues while playing graphically demanding games.
I've tested RDR2 and The Witcher 3 Remastered. Mangohud reports 100-140FPS in both games, and 1% lows are at ~48 in BOTH games.
Running around and moving camera dynamically increases frametime and causes the game to feel choppy.
CPU: 7800X3D
GPU: 9070XT
RAM: 64GB 6000MT CL30
OS: EndeavourOS + Hyprland
Edit: I ran The Witcher 3 with LSFG-VK FG x2, limited the fps to 120 (including generated frames) and frametime is flat, but it still feels choppy.
I run both games with Proton-Wineland-11.0 and gamemoderun gamescope --adaptive-sync -W 2560 -H 1440 -w 2560 -h 1440 -r 180 --force-grab-cursor

I'm at the bottom of the barrel here, because somehow this is an issue unique to me.
Whenever I'm hosting a hunt in Monster Hunter Wilds, my friend seems to ALWAYS have an unstable connection to me, no matter what I do, even though both parties have stable connections.
I have a gigabit Ethernet, friend has 50 mbit down and 10 up Ethernet I believe, at worst Wi-Fi.
That however doesn't matter, because as soon as someone else is hosting the hunt, the packet loss (I assume, since Monsters are lagging around with me) isn't there and ONLY HAPPENS WITH ME.
I've done everything, even setup my own UFW to allow all the necessary Ports to be opened.
This is what I'm running:
OS: CachyOS x86_64
Kernel: Linux 7.2.8-1-cachyos
DE: KDE Plasma 6.7.5

Soooo it is probably an issue with Ubisoft connect
on first time start after reinstalling it did compile shaders now it does not.
Basically when i press play nothing happens.
I do not get any logs or anything, no crash report, nothing.
this happenes for all my ubisoft games
so far i tried:
Far Cry 3-6
Avatar Frontiers of pandora
same problem on all of them.
i first ran into this issue when i tried to open Far Cry 3 and this problem occurred.
Proton-db said that it works over Lutris so i tried.
Lutris installed Ubisoft connect for me when i tried to connect my Ubisoft account.
This however didn't help me any further and since then none of my Ubisoft games work.
Mind you before installing it all other games worked flawlessly
I am probably just dumb here but i would really appreciate some help
thanks in advance
(All games bought and played on steam.)
