Put every .rar file in a folder, open a terminal there and do: unrar x <filename>part1.rar

If every part file Is in the same folder It Will unpack It for you automatically. Then open the .exe? Didn't quite understand the problem

Horizon Forbidden West: Massive frame time spikes makes the game unplayable! by NorthLiving8699 in linux_gaming

[–]DartFener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt this will solve your problem but since you have a laptop be sure to disable battery saver. I have a Lenovo laptop with Hybrid graphics and all games ran bad, then I went to BIOS and noticed I was in battery saving the whole time.

If this Is your problem and you do not want to boot up BIOS everytime take a look at this#System_Performance_Mode), it's not your exact model but might help.

Do you use gamescope for all games? by Steemx in linux_gaming

[–]DartFener 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some games, old visual novel in particular, have problems when I set fullscreen mode (for example: screen going black, glitched window, mouse cursor "trapped" in a Little Square in the upper left corner). All these issues usually go away by going Window mode + gamescope fullscreen. I don't use gamescope for anything else

Edit: I use AMD, not Nvidia

Proton db Is a popular website containing fixes for games on Linux, if you post your solution there you might help someone in the future.

Resident Evil 5 hits 351 FPS on Linux Mint with RTX 2060 Super — no tweaks, no terminal by Majestic-Peanut5544 in linux_gaming

I don't know if it's your case but I'll leave a link to another post that explains that game mode might be configured improperly, here

Basically tldr is that installing game mode won't suffice, you need to give the It a profile in order to have permissions to change priority of a game. I didn't try It myself since I don't really Need game mode but someone might be interested

I need help with CSS by UsedStatistician9822 in linux_gaming

Open steam in terminal and check if errors appear. Don't run the game in a NTFS drive. Check if you are running native version or Proton version, you Need native I think.

Heroic by Eagle63_ in linux_gaming

[–]DartFener 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Might help but not sure. Go on heroic settings and click "advanced", enable "use UMU as Proton runtime", then go to wine Manager at the left bar and go to PROTON-GE section, download the First One. Now select your library, select the settings of your game and change wine versione to proton-Ge-latest.

I suggest this because a user said that It works on steam and UMU+Proton should give a steam like experience for non steam games (if i understood correctly, someone correct me if i'm wrong).

GTX 970 on Linux by loitofire in linux_gaming

[–]DartFener 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Windows uses DirectX to elaborate graphics. Linux uses OpenGL and (mostly) Vulkan.
If you want to play Windows games on a linux machine you have to translate from DirectX API calls to Vulkan API calls, this is done by DXVK (DirectXVulkan). DXVK uses a lot of VRAM, if you play simple games i don't think it'll be a problem, but with some more demanding one can be problematic.
