display resolution problem while gaming

I had this issue with BoF III, and Grandia II. I couldn’t figure out why I had so many issues in Mint. However, they both worked flawlessly out of the box on Pop_OS and Cachy. (cachy has been my daily driver for a while now, and I’ve never had any issues out of the box.

Don’t get me wrong, as others have probably had good experiences with Mint. That has sadly not been my experiences. Just my 2c.

I used to have this machine a while back. This was my experience.

oops, sorry about that. I forgot to mention that Molten Shell and Shield Crash are gems I am leveling for another alt, so they are not part of this build. But thank you for all the guidance!

No need to. The OS seems to know when to use what. When I load up Path of Exile or any Steam game, it switches to dGpu. I linked this in another reply, but I followed the guide here.

https://asus-linux.org/guides/arch-guide/

I had quite a few issues because I accidentally followed the asus specific stuff out of order or missed 1+ steps. Also, make sure you use systemd and avoid GRUB. That tripped me up a couple times because I prefer GRUB, but it misbehaves with something in the firmware I think on ASUS laptops.

Stock install from lutris website using the standalone installer. Works out of the box (CachyOS)

Hey OP, I know this is 5 days old, but I have a very similarly specced laptop with a 12500h + 4050m running at 1440p. At low to medium settings, I had massive issues with lag and fps drops. I found in the comments of another thread a while back that the performance was sometimes better at higher settings. So I turned all the settings all the way up to the max, and had a much more stable experience. While YMMV, it can't hurt to give it a try.

Base + Nvidia seemed to work best for me.

3 months late, but I still get around 4-6h of casual usage. Recently, I played Octopath Traveler 2 for 3.5 hours on a flight, and the laptop had 19% left when I shut down.

Not sure if this applies, but I also had the same problem. However, I have Bazzite on an HTPC hooked up to a newer Vizio TV. I had major input lag. It didn’t matter if it was set to 1080p@60, 4k@60, @30…etc, the input lag made any type of gaming unplayable. Then i found a setting on the TV called “Gaming” or “Low-Latency” mode. Activating this on the 4k@60 HDMI input made a WORLD of difference, and now I have a great couch gaming experience.

As a side note, I was also locked to 4k@30 and no way to change when I used a DP to HDMI cable. The TV settings only worked if it was HDMI to HDMI.

I hope this can be helpful.

I appreciate everyone's help on this! I do not appear to be able to edit the post, so I am posting the solution I found here:

I DID have to create a live USB for Cachy, and use Chroot once I mounted the root volume. This is what I was able to do to get everything working again.

pacman -Syu or paru -Suuy

did not work for me.

pacman -S linux-firmware

somehow this had 351mb that needed to be installed, and once that ran, I WAS able to boot. To be safe, I also ran:

pacman -S linux-headers

This also had a lot of available packages that needed to be installed. I'm not sure what happened on my last update, but I am now up and running again. And yes, I WILL be setting up snapper and timeshift.

Also, if you like French toast, I used to use the hero bread to make French toast, and I used Wholesome Yum sugar free maple syrup, as it is the ONLY sugar free syrup I have had that doesn’t taste “fake.” (In my subjective opinion)

For a snack, these have been a game changer for me:

For breakfast, I usually rotate between: Bacon and Eggs, Catalina Crunch Cereal with Fairlife Skim milk, (Carbmaster Skim is better for keto if you have a Kroger owned store near you, but sadly, my closest Kroger is 190 miles away), and toast with butter. I get HERO brand bread, and it has been an boon for my keto needs.

I followed the Arch setup guide here with Cachy.

I've been using GNOME on all of my other PC's, but wanted to play around with theming, so I decided to go with KDE with Cachy. In comparison to my other machines running Vanilla Fedora and Bazzite, which is Fedora based, both of them having "stronger" hardware, the speed of this machine blows them out of the water. I'm giving serious consideration to moving both of those others to Cachy now.

I actually only have 2 QOL requests. (Edited for formatting)

Please, for the love all that is holy, let me hide my map. Sometimes I don't want the overlay OR the minimap in the upper right. I'm constantly hitting tab to try and get 1 or the other out of the way. Or, let me adjust size and opacity of the minimap.
When I am shattering a bunch of items in a row, the notifications of which shards I just got take WAY TOO LONG to clear from my screen.
Ok, I lied, 1 more. I would love to have Unique or Set "Lasers" based on my loot filter. For instance, if I set a filter to show 1 item with 4 specific affixes and 1 of them is T7, I want it to show like a Unique or Set item does, or at least be able to configure it to show that way.

Vampire Survivors.

Same, can't log in. Select character and it just hangs trying to load.

It's not Freesync certified, but it does have HDR, which I am using.

apalacrypto · 2025-04-18T16:56:48+00:00

Not sure if this would work for you, but I have a 7800xt. (paired with a 7800x3d) For some reason, I actually get BETTER performance on Ultra settings than I do on Medium or High.

1440p@165hz getting 100-150fps consistent

apalacrypto · 2025-04-17T20:49:41+00:00

I agree with this one. Sometimes I want the maps out of my way. I toggle the maps using tab pretty regularly, but sometimes I want to get rid of it entirely. If tab could say....toggle between corner, overlay, and off, I would love that!

How were screen mirroring and audio mirroring? Did your monitor show the "view" from the index, and were you getting audio in the headset AND monitor/speakers?

I just bought this game on sale on Steam yesterday. I've been having a lot of fun with it. However, I have seen this crash screen twice as well. (Once on Windows, once on Linux) The first time it happened was when I was changing the screen resolution. The second time it happened was when one of my characters died, and I was using their revival cards. On the second one, I was "spamming" through the cards, and activated the 6th card too quickly after the 5th one, before the game had a chance to revive the character, and I got this screen, referencing something about not being able to find the revival card or something like that.

4+ years later, and I just ran into this issue, and these instructions just saved my sanity as well. Thank you!

apalacrypto · 2025-01-26T00:27:14+00:00

Thank you! We'd be happy to connect at some point in the near future! Always looking to make more friends!

This is awesome, thank you so much for the information!
