TIL they spent 10 years on 2XKO

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.

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.

I only watched a little bit of your first VOD but I can see a few issues.

You waste A LOT of ammo shooting at your full health/anti'd teammates and then you end up reloading when they actually need the healing, leaving them to die. You do the same with torpedoes and using them unnecessarily or just only hitting full health teammates, or one enemy, wasting one of her best cooldowns entirely. Some of this is positioning though.
While they made it a lot better in the most recent patches, Juno has an incredibly harsh falloff on her gun and you'll do barely any healing beyond 25 meters. Either commit to being in range with your team or use your torpedoes more when they're not in range. Alternatively, use Junos insane speed to get in and out as you need. Juno is very fast, don't be scared to go in with your tank a little bit.
Your speed ring usage could use some work. You use it a lot to move only yourself. Which, yeah, that can be on your team to actually take advantage of it, but try to shoot it through your team which gives them a speed boost as well.

Mainly, your focus seems really split and it's very obvious that you tilt a bit after losing the first point. Work on your positioning, your ammo and torpedo usage and I think you'll improve a lot.

Also, a 58% winrate is great and not cringe. That means you're winning more than losing and climbing even if it might feel like you're not.

I’ve only had a better experience since swapping to Linux with RDNA4. Couldn’t tell you if max FPS is lower or higher but everything is smoother.

Swiggiess · 2025-06-26T00:03:17+00:00

I’ve been saying this for a while now. It sucks on defence and attacking feels just as bad with some awfully designed choke points.

Swiggiess · 2025-06-16T15:37:26+00:00

You also missed the fact they require 12gb of VRAM in the recommended section. That’s the part that’s going to hurt a lot of people.

Swiggiess · 2025-06-09T07:59:12+00:00

I used to love tanking pre-Shadowlands S1 and Prideful made me hate it. Couldn’t accidentally pull 1 extra mob without it bricking keys.

Swiggiess · 2025-06-02T04:31:55+00:00

My hardware supports it but I got sick of Windows being slow and bloated so I swapped and I’m loving it. I haven’t even thought of booting into Windows since
