Hey All,

Hoping someone can help me out here. I'm running endeavouros with an amd card (rx580). Up until last night everything was running normally, I was playing elite when suddenly the game completely froze up and crashed after dropping into a graphically intensive area (that previously worked fine).

Trying to log back into the game leads me to the same situation, the game slowly loads in at a few frames over a couple minutes before freezing entirely, along with kde. I'm forced to shutdown the computer with the power button to restart.

I'm at a loss for how this issue started. Other games work completely fine.

I've tried dumping all my graphics settings, jumping back to a previous timeshift backup, full system update, and nothing seems to be fixing it. I'm able to load into the main menu just fine to change settings.

I'm wondering if it is a driver issue, I have multiple drivers installed due to needing davinci resolve.

If anyone has a clue where I can look to fix this please let me know, I'm a few hours deep into troubleshooting and starting to pull my hair out. Happy to post the crash log if that is helpful, also happy to provide any more information that would be helpful, I'm just not sure what exactly is needed.

Thank you!

Hello So I am trying to get Apex Legends to work and it just crashes. I tried proton experimental, GE-Proton8-11, Proton 8.0-3 and Proton 7.0-6. Here is a vid of what happens when I try and run apex from steam:

Explanation

Since the time i switched from windows to linux, i was mostly using opengl to run my games and weren't aware of vulkan capability and since my opengl was not running at good preformance, i tried to switch to vulkan and used it on CS:GO and other titles which supported this feature.

but from the start every time i tried to run these games, they would load up, stay in a black screen and close automatically.

after trying to install packages like vulkan-tools and running vkcube test successfully, the problem was still there and i got to here so maybe someone knows what is happening in here.

I've been doing research, and wanted to make a thread here to make sure I have all my information straight:

  • On X11, if you have two monitors connected, VRR won't work, you have to tinker with display profiles as a workaround
  • Wayland doesn't have the above problem, but has a lot of problems with NVIDIA GPUs, which is what I use. Wayland + NVIDIA doesn't support VRR
  • Discord screensharing doesn't transmit audio on X11, and on Wayland Discord screensharing just flat out doesn't work unless you use third-party alternatives. I'm not sure if these alternatives allow for transmitting audio
  • Linux doesn't support HDR. The most promising avenue for HDR is through Wayland, but there's no real ETA for it

I have a cheap monitor for browsing, and an OLED TV for gaming/movie use. I like to stream games for a Discord group so transmitting my voice and the game audio is a must (it's a whole "thing" for our group to stream weird-ass games and speedruns). Demanding the group to switch to Telegram/Twitch/whatever isn't an option, I'm the only Linux user. I can swap out my NVIDIA GPU for an AMD one, but it seems like wasted effort if screen and audio sharing on Discord still doesn't work.

Considering my unique situation (HDR multi-monitor setup + Discord streamer), should I just dual-boot with Windows 10 as my gaming OS and Linux as my browsing OS? Or can the Discord problem be reliably resolved and HDR is coming closer than I expect?

Hi, I know this isn't really a tech support forum but hopefully posting this is ok.

Whenever I do flapak update I get a message saying: Info: runtime com.valvesoftware.Steam.Utility.gamescope branch stable is end-of-life, with reason: The gamescope Flatpak has been migrated to org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope. Info: applications using this extension: com.usebottles.bottles, io.itch.itch

So I tried to install org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope and remove com.valvesoftware.Steam.Utility.gamescope, but now whenever I do flatpak update again it askes me to install the old version of it again, for literally just the Itch launcher.

Is there anything I can do about this or this is all on whoever packaged the Itch launcher?

As the title says, I can't do anything to install a game, just because steam always opens and tells me that the platform I am on is invalid. Does anyone know how to fix this?

For instance NieR Replicant is listed as gold yet not one mention of the infinite loading black screen pre-rendered cutscene if you choose SPOILER coming up to petrify Kaine. There is an unplayable pre-rendered video which relies on a proprietary codec. This is the worst issue with linux and wine; these shitty codecs that devs insist on using that need extra dlls when there is a plethora of open source codecs that have better bitrate and file size. Why the fuck are they still using these archaic shitty codecs? And who uses pre rendered cutscenes in 2021
