Open source (MIT), I’m the author. You pair a controller with a small relay machine, and the host gets a copy with the same USB ids, so drivers and Steam treat it as their own. Rumble, light bar and motion sensors work. It’s meant for game streaming setups, but it’s plain USB/IP underneath.

Tested Linux to Linux with a DualShock 4.

I got a question for you all: if I set up Bazzite Linux on my 13.6 ps5 phat, do I have to set it up again when I get a lower firmware PS5 Pro?

Hi Guys,

this will probably fall under self advertisement but I would really like to have some feedback regarding an open-source Cheat Engine-styled desktop app that I develop under Linux and with Linux Gaming in mind, especially for steam games that ran under Proton and Vine. My goal was to have a decent Cheat Engine alternative that is not that complicated to use.

I used Python, PySide6 and Frida as development stack and hooks and scripts for in-game agents are written in Java Script. Ptrace is used to find instructions that read and write on addresses.

The app offers hopefully some unique features for Unreal and Unity. There is a method browser, a method call-graph, a method trace, a browser for living objects, an object inspector and a reference graph that shows dependencies between living objects. For Unreal the app also supports GAS attributes, meaning you can read and write them and have direct access to the players object instance.

The app also provides a steam launch option to be independent from the window app when playing a game.

I would appreciate if someone checks the app out and share constructive critic and feedback. The app is still in development, some things are not really shaped out and it will probably at some point crashing your running game.

The app does not have an installer yet, so you need to clone the Github repository https://github.com/grembyte/grembyte. There is also an online documentation that you can find in the README.md of the Github repository.

P.S. I am just a random German dude that does not know anything about US politics. So if there is anything offending in my post, please apologies.

Thanks a lot

So I’ve been having this issue on desktop I’m using proton experimental on nobara 44 kde wayland neither my cpu or gpu reach above 40 percent and I have lower frames/stutters this is on desktop only when I play PCVR it uses my gpu fully does anyone know what it might be?

I built Mewtion, an open-source motion sickness reduction tool inspired by Apple’s Vehicle Motion Cues.

It uses a transparent, click-through particle overlay that responds to vehicle movement using accelerometer data.

Built with Rust, GTK4, and Wayland Layer Shell. Supports KDE Plasma, Sway, and Hyprland, with both native laptop sensors and an Android companion app.

Would love feedback, especially from Linux and Steam Deck users!

I've been looking for a new controller and I have been on and off again tempted by gamesirs offerings but can't find any real advice on how they work under Linux.

What do y'all use?

I'm on cachyos/Arch if it matters

Maybe someone found a fix for that as I'm close to giving up now.
I'm trying to complete my Steam-Backlog and now arrived at Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order + Survivor.
The first issue was that nothing would even happen when pressing play, but I was able to fix that by manually downloading the EA-App and installing it to the Proton prefix for the steam id via protontricks.
Now I'm facing the problem that the EA-App is telling me I don't have access to the game as it was installed by another user.

I'm currently on CachyOS and I tried a lot of different Proton Versions with no success. (Hotfix,Experimental,Wineland,DW-Proton,ProtonGE,Proton-CachyOS,Default Steam proton 11/10)

Older GE-Proton versions did not work as it fails to detect the EA-Background service.

I installed a Windows 11 VM to check if it's something with the link between the EA-Account and Steam, but it worked there without problems. I even got like half of the achievements from when I briefly played Fallen Order via EA-Play back when it released.

I could use some launch-options to play the game without the EA-Launcher, but it seems the achievements will not work then and I kind of want to 100% the games.

EA-Support is obviously not helping and currently waiting if Steam support has any ideas. I don't want to switch back to Windows for those games.
According to protondb (gold status) and steam it should run so I'm not sure if this is just a new issue because of the ea launcher or something on my system is wrong, but so far these are the only games I had troubles with.

Appreciate any help.

I'm new to using Nvidia GPUs under Linux. I recently bought a 5060 ti but I experience artifacts under various games when I play at close to the highest settings or highest

I wonder if it's my GPU or is it something that I can expect sometimes due to there not being the most up to date drivers on Linux.

I'm under cachy os btw.

The affected games I've seen are:

- Tomb raider (2016)

- Rise of the tomb raider (I've found hbao+ being one of the main culprits and performance is perfect if I use directx 11)

- Resident evil 2 the remake. Some very small ones I've seen here but of course it shouldn't happen at all.

I wonder if this is normal for these games and gaming on Linux when playing aaa games at highest settings or using things like hbao.

If it's the card I'm still on time to return it. But I'd like the input from you first people.

Thank you very much. 🙏

So here's the thing, I posted about how bad vram management on Linux is for nvidia, thanks to nvidia drivers, but people thought opposite nd said everything is fixed now, so I gave it a try on my rtx 4050

Config : Niri, steam, tlou high setting dlss balanced frame gen on, and it started stuttering alot, I'll give another game a try ig, maybe black myth wukong, also I am using kde as well as niri

2. cpu is not a bottleneck, it's good enough for gaming on windows

I rarely post, but I have been looking for an alternative to TFT on Linux for quite some time. I love the game, but hate Windows and Vanguard. Android Emulators where an option until recently.

Then i found Relic Arena, bloody hell it scratches the same itch, its by no means perfect and is not a 1:1 copy of TFT but i've got the same fun with it. AND its free!

I have no connections to the creators and delete the post if this isn't wanted, but this game needs more players and it runs on Linux! Try it out guys and girls!

everything was performing fine until i got the first head that opens the big door with the 2 circles in the main hall after that im experiencing couple of hitches and sometimes idk why hits something like just drops 30 fps and doesnt fix itself unless i restart the game im on hdd rtx 2060 r5 3600 should i get an ssd would that fix it

changing setting like shadow cache textures etc doesnt help seems even worse i have everything maxxed out playing on ge 10-34 i played the 4r 2r and the 9 on hdd but this so far stutters the most i tried some fixes from proton db but its even more frequent lowering textures medium its worse shadow cache off decreases fps etc do i need an ssd? even setting everything on high results in a more frequent stutter

Hello I was wondering if I could get some help :) Im trying to play deadlock but the game is really dark for some reason and I can't for the life of me find a fix :( The in game slider doesn't seem to work.
Im using Fedora 45 Plasma and Proton-CachyOS
My specs are (if that matters):
GTX 1660 Super
I5 10400f

as title says, among us crashes on loading menus when i try to play it. for some reason, in my steam client (native), i cannot turn off proton. i tried different versions of proton, yet it still crashes at different loading screens. i have no idea why this is happening, because among us worked fine on arch linux

Not to promote the game itself at all, but you can really see that Valve optimized it for Linux and there is no reason why other developer couldn't do it either (except of course lack of incentives). The game runs totally smooth, all settings, keybinds, invitations of players to lobby, proper cursor behavior across multiple screens, just everything works out of the box.

Linux is the future!

So im trying to play overwatch at max settings but the shader is a problem im stil struggling to fix it just keeps shuttering each game i boot in movement or ability im hope someone have like a fix i can use im out of ideas i did the swap file still no use the memory ramp up high making it laggy

openMERC is a GPL engine for Soldier of Fortune (2000). It runs the files from your own copy. The download has none of the game in it.

Since 0.2.3

Glass traces its own reflection. A slanted window mirrors the room, lamps show up in the pane, dirt softens the reflection, and a thin sheet bends the view along the streaks in the texture. In the rain, each drop has its own refraction and is, in essence, a tiny lens.

A lightning strike lights the clouds around the bolt, glares into the lens, and falls on the floor through the window. Each strike keeps its own thunder.

Fog is one calculation for the whole frame. World, characters, effects, glass and water take the fog along the view, so a body standing in a fog volume is in that fog. This is in openMERC's own game module.

On sib3 the blast doors open again after the checkpoint button. A character standing near the world origin was holding every sliding door on the map.

A PNG, TGA or JPG replacement keeps the original texture's size, animation and damage image. A 4x pack used to draw four times too big.

Mac and ARM are in this release

• 0.2.3 shipped Windows and Linux x86_64. 0.2.4 adds the other two.

• Windows 10/11 - openMERC-0.2.4-win32.zip into the game folder, then openMerc.exe. The original 32-bit game DLLs still work here as a fallback.

• Linux x86_64 - openMERC-0.2.4-linux-x86_64.tar.gz, then ./openMERC.sh. SDL and OpenAL are in the archive.

• Linux arm64 - openMERC-0.2.4-linux-arm64.tar.gz, same layout. Built on Debian 13 arm64. Player movement rounds the same way as on x86, so an arm64 client and an x86 server stay in step. That was off by 1 unit/s, including on a Rock 5B.

• macOS, Apple Silicon - the arm64 build, OpenGL 3.2 on Apple's OpenGL 4.1 (the Metal-backed one). Unit tests pass, and a level loads. Intel Macs are not built. The original DLLs are 32-bit Windows, so a Mac runs openMERC's own modules. This build wants Homebrew's SDL 3 and OpenAL Soft.

You need Soldier of Fortune 1.07f, retail with the patch or GOG. The look in the clip is the High preset. Every new effect has its own switch back to the original drawing.

https://github.com/sidreshot/openMERC/releases/tag/v0.2.4

There are problems, but we’re working on them - we’re effectively shooting down these issues on a regular basis. Things keep getting better with every release.

On Windows, if a mission stalls, the original DLLs are the fallback. Multiplayer is openMERC to openMERC.

I am testing the game on AMD and Debian 13.

Thanks for your attention.

Serious question, im not trying to ragebait, if Linux doesnt support industry standard applications that use universities and schools globally and if online games are not guaranteed to work out of the box on launch what the hell is the point in larping this hard?

Games on Linux that are platform exclusive on windows have notorious problems STILL today that you need a 30 min tutorial to fix even with proton experimental and protonGE. The fact that i needed to spend this much time trying to find a save file to import from some random wine repository from witcher 1 enhanced edition folder that is HIDDEN by default in a dolphin file manager, AND I COULDNT EVEN NAVIGATE WITHOUT A PROPER TUTORIAL BTW. After I located the save file I couldnt paste it into Witcher 2 because its in a different steam folder path than before so i had to manually search the directory inside a wine folder like a maniac searching for shit, instead of it being an automatic process when you have tue two games installed.

Games like Dying Light are not playable online PERIOD. No matter the distribution you'll get 15 fps stutters because the server scheduler is always calling home to make sure the game is running on proper software, but in Linux that means the scheduler is going through a hard time because the game is running through a dxvk layer on top of another OS that isnt compatible with DL. So in order to fix this fucking thing you need a very very specific launch options that bypass this shit THAT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK IF UR USING THE PROTONGE OUT OF THE BOX.

Cs2's workshop maps do not normally import and function within proton experimental and if you just run it natively its gonna have microstutter issues, lag and graphical glitches. The game runs like literal dogshit. The duck+jump is completely messed up and glued to their respective functions for some reason so you cant aim properly in some cases.

Riot launcher and thus riot games including the cod library just refuse to work on it because of klac.

So aside from relative safety of it being an obscure pc platform what exactly benefits me or any other pc user to keep on using linux ???
