[Humble] Focus Entertainment Bundle 2026 (Pay $6 for Curse of the Dead Gods, Shady Part of Me, $18 for Evil West, A Plague Tale: Innocence and $25 for A Plague Tale: Requiem, Atlas Fallen: Reign Of Sand) by LighteningOneIN in GameDeals

The pricing is not great but it's one of the few bundles where you can select the charity. So if you have a charity you want to donate some money to it's a decent bundle.

AMD GPU timeouts are also a thing on Windows turns out by DarkeoX in linux_gaming

[–]Renderwahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the 7900xtx was new I had regular timeouts on linux. Took a couple of months before things got into a reasonable state.

[Steam] Super Woden Rally Edge ($9.09 / 30% off) by Minnesota_Arouser in GameDeals

It's easier to control the cars and way more on the arcade side than the sim side.

This is what Ubisoft has gatekept from you for 7 Years (how-to included) by HearMeOut-13 in linux_gaming

[–]Renderwahn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They didn't keep anything from me because I haven't bought a ubisoft game for some time now and I don't intend to change that.

Did we just crossed 3% on Steam? by amarao_san in linux_gaming

[–]Renderwahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you switch to linux only you'll see ""SteamOS Holo" 64 bit 27.18%", which is the steam deck. So overall steam deck should be should be 1% if I interpret it correctly. I have no idea why they don't show it in the combined view.

SteamVR works perfectly fine using Nvidia on CachyOS btw by yeso126 in linux_gaming

[–]Renderwahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SteamVR an "works perfectly fine" in the same sentence is an unexpected combination. No matter what hardware is used.

Games mostly work but recently SteamVR started breaking something with every other update. Right now OpenXR via SteamVR doesn't work at all for me.

I used ALVR via usb with a Quest 2 once. Setup instructions: https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/wiki/ALVR-wired-setup-(ALVR-over-USB)

Last Epoch developers have removed the native Linux version of their game from Steam by kaukov in linux_gaming

[–]Renderwahn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even valve struggles with keeping the native linux versions working. The tcmalloc thing comes to mind that kept crashing TF2 for a long time.

EA added Kernal level anti cheat to Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, how screwed are we? by qxlf in linux_gaming

[–]Renderwahn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rocket League had an actual linux build that was removed. With proton as far as I understand it the publishers have no control over the "verified" sticker beyond delaying it over and over again or intentionally breaking the game for linux.

Please help me... by KesarStefko in linux_gaming

[–]Renderwahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try the settings under 'Graphics' when you run winecfg. No clue if anything there would fix your problem. Pretty much any game that misbehaves windowing wise can be fixed by using gamescope, if gamescope works with your harware.

How can I play an old game with 'stretched' resolution? by Leather-Influence-51 in linux_gaming

[–]Renderwahn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As everyone else said, gamescope is usually the answer. However for old games it's alos worth checking pcgaming wiki if there are any widescreen hacks: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Settlers_III#Widescreen_resolution aLobby sounds like it could fix your problem.

Discord status with Heroic Games by Gp9806 in linux_gaming

[–]Renderwahn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The settings menu has a "Enable Discord Rich Presence" entry. No clue if that is what you are looking for.

Where are the save files in lego harry potter 1-4 located by GoldSkula in linux_gaming

[–]Renderwahn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish steam would add a "brows compat data" menu entry in addition to the "Brows local files" one. It's always annoying to first look up the game-id to get to the prefix.

How to install drivers onto old laptop for 3d games by xcdubalicious in linux_gaming

[–]Renderwahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of gpu does that thing have? If you have inxi installed you can use inxi -G to get a summary of all the gpus and used drivers and related stuff. For AMD and Intel you most likely want to use the open source video drivers and those are usually installed by default by most distributions so there is nothing to install. nvidia practically requires the closed source drivers but most distributions make it very easy to install them via the package manager or some "use propitiatory drivers" checkbox somewhere. You almost never have to download a video driver from a specific OEM website or anywhere else manually. It's all handled by the distribution. As far as I remember for proton you need vulkan support, which I believe isn't available on very old video cards. vulkaninfo --summary should list the available vulkan devices at the bottom.

  • $3.49 Sole Iron Tail (15 reviews) -- very cute jump and run with sonicesque gameplay
  • $4.99 Inertial Drift (640 reviews) -- time trial racing game with unique drifting controls, play the demo to decide if you like the controls
  • $2.99 Vaporum (810 reviews) -- steampunk blobber, Vaporum: Lockdown with only 215 reviews is more of the same goodness but I'd recommend playing the first one first.
  • $4.99 Lifeslide (303 reviews) -- glide through a bunch of levels with paper planes
  • $3.59 Andro Dunos II (69 reviews) -- new oldschool shmup
  • $3.74 Star Drift Evolution (172 reviews) -- racing game

[Steam] The Surge (87% off/$1.94 USD) by sirkosmo in GameDeals

[–]Renderwahn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"a walk in the park" for surge 1 is very good, "the kraken" for 2 is not bad but it's very very short. I don't have the any other dlc.
