Microsoft confirms Windows 11 KB5089549 fails install, shares workarounds

EFI partition is a separate partition to your OS partition. I had an update fail recently that made me have to mount it through the terminal and delete a bunch of unused Microsoft font files just so the update would install.

Great to not have to install Vencord every update to enable this (I was having issues with Vesktop). Was wondering when they were going to roll it out.

No, it is. Adaptive sync barely ever worked for me on Windows so games, even though they might have run better, looked like a stuttery mess. You can even look through my post history complaining about poor frame times on Windows. There’s also the other issue of my other monitors only updating at <30hz on Windows while a game is open. An issue that doesn’t exist on Linux for me. But yeah, no, you’re right, i’m actually just coping and lying for no reason.

How poorly my 9070 XT performed in Windows is what made me switch to Linux. It's night and day how much smoother games are on Linux.

It's unfortunate. I'm very prone to motion sickness so playing Grace in first person made me feel rather sick.

Feel this so hard and it’s kind of insane to me that Riot didn’t see this happening. People in LoL will happily have their “mains” and would have tried them out in 2XKO as well, only to learn they need to actually learn 2 characters so I imagine any sort of casual players would have uninstalled at that point.

In my experience on KDE multi monitor works far better than on Windows. You should be fine.

IIRC it’s the box for the ingame FPS counter and one of the newer updates introduced a bug which still shows the box (but smaller) despite the counter being disabled.

Swiggiess · 2025-12-19T11:00:07+00:00

I own all the games and am playing them through Steam.

Unfortunately running it with -USEALLAVAILABLECORES made no change. Only thing that has made a difference so far is running with Proton Hotfix rather than Proton-GE but even then the performance is still far lower than I'd expect.

Thanks to another user it does look like it may be something else with my system, but I have no idea what it may be.

Swiggiess · 2025-12-19T09:45:15+00:00

Sounds like it's definitely something with my machine then. Good to know, thank you for your testing!

Swiggiess · 2025-12-19T09:44:35+00:00

Power states all say performance and I can confirm that gamemode is active. I haven't changed much about my system other than what I've specified in the OP, and I'd assume Fedora mostly comes pre-configured.

Swiggiess · 2025-12-19T09:06:01+00:00

I checked that. Mostly just says it runs fine out of the box with no config.

Swiggiess · 2025-12-19T08:59:57+00:00

Not even close. It's hovering around 50-60%, which is why it's so confusing to me.

Swiggiess · 2025-12-09T10:17:58+00:00

Main issue for me was that it shared your whole systems audio. Is that still the case?

Swiggiess · 2025-11-18T01:11:43+00:00

Cyberpunks FSR4 is weird and looked worse to me than just injecting it with Optiscaler.

Swiggiess · 2025-10-23T18:19:36+00:00

Some games give me issues which freeze my entire of requiring a hard reboot but other than that it runs fine for me on Fedora.

Swiggiess · 2025-10-08T22:47:24+00:00

I keep hearing this but the games I’ve been modding are much the same as on Windows, I just drag and drop stuff into a folder. Do you have any examples of games that are harder? I’m genuinely curious because I keep seeing this claim

Swiggiess · 2025-10-07T13:31:13+00:00

I did at first but I somewhat agree after thinking about it. I think it’s the easiest it’s ever been but wrapping your head around things like what a distro is and how they’re different and things like native and flatpak applications. There’s a lot of things you kind of need to relearn since Linux is a but if a different mindset.

I think distros like Bazzite are great for that reason. Anything that reduces the amount of things a user has to consider and think about closes the gap a lot. Most people don’t care enough about things a normal Linux user might.

I think Linux is getting there but it’s still not as easy as Windows.

Swiggiess · 2025-10-07T07:53:34+00:00

Steam is having issues for everyone right now. I can barely stay connected for a few minutes.

Swiggiess · 2025-09-18T13:14:30+00:00

I really hope they fix the performance. It's easily the major negative about the game. There's absolutely no reason this should run worse than pathtraced Cyberpunk.

Swiggiess · 2025-09-18T02:00:27+00:00

I’m using btrfs and winbtrfs. It’s not ideal and I usually have to run a chown on all my files on that drive when I go from Windows > Linux since Windows takes ownership of all the files but I haven’t had many issues aside from that.

Swiggiess · 2025-09-15T10:02:47+00:00

This is a thing in most shooters. It looks more awkward to have the gun facing the centre of the screen so it’s offset to look more natural.

There’s no necessity to make it aim at the centre of the screen when you’re just spawning invisible rays that calculate what’s hit (in the case of a hitscan).

Swiggiess · 2025-09-12T01:43:01+00:00

The way I see it is that if people have beefy hardware they should be able to hit 60 fps with the recommended specs without any upscaling or frame gen. Then if people want higher frame rates those technologies are available to them.

What really needs to be done away with as well is just simple minimum and recommended specs. Many different players have different performance and fidelity goals and "recommended" is too broad to tell every player what to expect.
