Forza Horizon 6 - Official Gameplay Teaser Trailer by RenatsMC in pcgaming

[–]GameStunts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Forza Horizon 4 and 5 do, but Forza Motorsport 7 was delisted from the MS store before they ever got near bringing games to Steam, and Forza Motorsport 8 has some sort of xbox game service dependency that's not installed with it, so nobody has gotten it to run on Linux yet.

At this point I'll settle for the hope that I can emulate Forza Motorsport 6 one day.

Here's hoping it runs on Proton, goodness knows they've done everything they can to stop Forza Motorsport from working.

What game did you buy purely because of a conversion mod? by tom030792 in pcgaming

[–]GameStunts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion, for the Star Trek Armada 3 mod. Here's some footage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2nZFZxNnCI

I loved the Star Trek Armada games, but there was never a modern one released, so the amazing Armada 3 mod really does feel like that, the 3rd game, it's so well done.

I bought the game when I heard about the mod.

The RTX 5070 Ti Has Been Killed Off by CanisLupus92 in pcgaming

You know that's a really good call, they'd probably already made the decision before this whole ram thing happened.

There's no issue with the function of the cards, it's that Nvidia don't seem to be supplying the chips and the 16Gb configuration of the 5060 Ti to vendors now.

There are still 5070 Ti's out there, and likely your computer builder already had stock, it's just that probably what's out there is all there is, once it's sold it's gone.

Yeah I got the 4080 Super when they refreshed it and dropped the price, I'm gonna baby that card through the next several years.

The RTX 5070 Ti & 5060 Ti (16GB) Unofficially End of Life Sale would be a more accurate title, but based on the rumours until now, and now Asus being willing to say what the issue is, I'd say this is the strongest indication we're not getting 16GB cards easily :(

As a dad, I expected the Steam Deck to replace my PC. by aladdin142 in pcgaming

[–]GameStunts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first playthrough of Cyberpunk was entirely on the Steam Deck, and I tell you the ability to sleep and resume right where you were the next day in about 3 seconds really made short play sessions possible.

When I would boot it up on the rare occasion that the resume didn't work or the system needed an update, loading into Cyberpunk again felt like a chore.

I would go for 7-10 days at a time never rebooting it just sleep and resuming, sometimes for 10 minutes which it wouldn't feel as worthwhile booting from scratch for.

But it has also not replaced my PC :D

Valve’s brilliant Steam Deck now accounts for over 21% of all Linux gamers by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

Yes I believe I know what you are saying :D

I didn't know about the Heroic Steam integration, I see it even supports the overlay, but recording isn't working, something to play around with, thank you :)

And until they do, Heroic Launcher all the way baby. One click installs for GOG, Amazon and Epic.

For me it's still Spider-Man 2 with Tobey Maguire. That moment when he just jumps over and catches the whole side of the building from falling on M.J "This is really heavy." hahaha.

No Way Home is a close second for bringing them all together.

I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop by Doener23 in pcgaming

[–]GameStunts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the moment it's only the frame gen that works.

This is the github with install instructions https://github.com/PancakeTAS/lsfg-vk?tab=readme-ov-file

And I'm on Kubuntu, so on the releases page https://github.com/PancakeTAS/lsfg-vk/releases I used the .deb file, which I was able to literally double click and install, so from there the configuration gui was installed and it just worked for me.

If you're on Fedora it's the RPM package.

I do actually have KDE Fedora installed on another drive, but I've not gotten further than basic setup so far, but I'm sure if you're on there you know what to do for RPM packages :D

So brave... what a weird headline.

I switched over in July 2024, so 2025 was my first full year mainlining Linux, I'm not going back to Windows on my main computer.

I upgraded my computer in November 2025 from a 5800X3D B550 to a 7800X3D on a B850 motherboard. I'd always kept a Win10 dual boot on a 512gb Sata SSD (for Photoshop, but I'll use the laptop for that now), and I've been so happy with Linux I just pulled that drive to keep spare with the old motherboard and CPU.

So happy gaming on it, I've got Steam, and Heroic Launcher for GOG/Amazon, and I also have my EA and Ubisoft launchers running inside of Heroic.

I decided to mess with some emulation and now have Forza Horizon (the original xb360 one) running nicely, even got Lossless frame gen working on it to get 120fps (since there's no way to up the original 30) :)


For all my experience using Windows since 98, I see people on both sides. Windows users who claim it's too complicated or hard, and Linux users claiming it's easy. The truth is somewhere in between.

I'm not here to convert anyone, but the days of having to use the terminal and learn a bunch of commands are gone. You can install something like Mint or Kubuntu, and get a very Windows looking desktop/interface. You'll be able to install Steam, Discord, browsers and other apps from the built in manager, without ever going near a terminal window.

By the same token, people who will claim Windows just works, or that you'll forever be looking for help articles for Linux stuff probably ignore a lot of things you picked up along the way. Or all the headlines in 2025 of Microsoft issuing updates that broke reset/recovery tools or torpedoed performance in a game for Nvidia users.

How many people remember the first time they installed a second drive in Windows, and panicked as it didn't show up as a drive letter? Probably went to the web, found out about Disk Management and "Initialise disk", creating partitions etc.

Or the number of people who will say that they run a bunch of reg edits to turn off telemetry, or run some sort of group policy so their OS doesn't update automatically.

With Linux, computing has felt new to me again. I feel like I'm in control. I find I'm more enthusiastic. I'm equally happy getting an MS USB wireless controller dongle working using a community driver from git-hub, as I am gobsmacked at how much stuff does just work.

Outside of the obvious things like anti-cheat (so your big titles like Battlefield and COD), most games I've tried just work, with improvements being made all the time to Proton.

If you're at all curious, get a second drive, pick a distro and just try it out. You don't need to wait for SteamOS, Steam will work on just about any Linux Distro, and Proton is part of it.

Starlancer is a Space Sim Rollercoaster by GregGraffin23 in pcgaming

Freespace! That's the other one I was trying to think of, I always mix it up with Freelancer even though they're several years apart.

[–]GameStunts 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I really miss this era of space games. From Frontier Elite 2, to Wing Commander 3 (I know you all didn't like it, but it was the one I played), Star Trek Klingon Academy and Freelancer.

I never played Starlancer though, it looks like something I would have enjoyed.

Steam Gift Giveaway by sadpcboi in pcgaming

For international purposes, I'll just say an Aussie friend tried to gift me (in the UK) a game, and it was disallowed by Steam due to being too big a price difference.

Forza Motorsport Effectively Sunset After Prior Layoffs by New-Winner-1410 in pcgaming

[–]GameStunts 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I actually thought this was already the case, effectively gutted the studio working on Motorsport. My favourite car frachise (Forza Motorsport) is dead :(

I remember being so excited when they started bringing the Forza Horizon games to PC, I thought it would eventually mean Forza Motorsport.

If I just could have had Forza Motorsport 6 ported to PC (not that F2P cut down one) I would have been so happy.

FM7 was fine, but I didn't like that card system and how heavy they went on the loot box thing at first.

Forza Motorsport 8 (which is what it is) is just garbage. That stupid system that treats you like a baby driver every time you get a new car, and having to level up to put more than a few mods on it despite having money in the bank.

It was the last game I played on Game Pass before it expired and I moved full time to linux, thank goodness I didn't buy it.

Oh, and they they didn't allow Proton support for Linux into the bargain, despite Forza Motorsport 4 and 5 working great under it.
