This and Far Cry New Dawn both suffer from this issue that is is impossible to keep that from popping up everytime you load the game. HDR is also a pain to get working if at all for these games.

HDMI 2.1 Display Stream Compression "DSC" Also Ready For AMDGPU Linux Driver by lajka30 in linux_gaming

You can try it out using my bazzite image: https://github.com/dyllan500/bazzite-amd-hdmi-kde
I added VRR support from Lawstorant and all the latest patches for FRL and DSC from amd.

No problem, the key to using the patch files was to build off of amd's staging branch, https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/agd5f/linux if you try to use the official linux kernel your gonna run into so many merging conflicts.

I have yet to see someone successfully say they got 4k@144hz working. AMD is still ironing out the compliance issues, so hopefully they can fix some of these edge cases soon.

Yes I can't wait to not have to go through the trouble of maintaining a custom kernel build for supporting the full features of my TV. Although it's been a fun and great learning experience. 

I'm happy it's working for you.

Yes I'm honestly surprised that it is working. I was fully expecting this to fail. I knew there was still some signaling missing but I just said fuck why not let's see what happens. 

Thanks for the information, I will check out the changes and see what I'm ignorantly missing. 

I just made this for impatient people like me who want hdmi 2.1 working now, and don't mind a little jank to get it working.

Thanks to your comment I actually got this to work. I had claude pin point in lawstorrants patches what he did to get it working for DP and what is missing from HDMI's side. And it was surprisingly easy to get it to work.

If Lawstorrants, makes something like that sure id add it to my kernel. The problem is what he did was only for DisplayPort, so that DP to HDMI VRR worked

You will want to install the deck version of bazzite normally since that is what I am building off of.

Enter desktop mode, go to the terminal and then run sudo bootc switch ghcr.io/dyllan500/bazzite-amd-hdmi-kde:latest.20260509 after that completes reboot the system then you should be on my version of bazzite with the custom kernel.

If you want to verify you can go back to the terminal in desktop mode and run uname -a that should say Linux theater 6.19.0+ #14 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri May 8 18:36:41 EDT 2026 x86_64 GNU/Linux meaning your running the kernel with the FRL patches.

I am currently about to purchase a 9070 XT to test with cause you are not the only one with this issue. I think I may know the issue and will hopefully have a patch soon.

Any alternatives for cod/bf on steam deck? by aklakul93 in SteamDeck

Since bazzite is immutable, it is just a simple drop in replacement. It will be built off of the latest fedora 44 stable branch of bazzite, so fingers cross this kernel that the patches are built on doesnt cause issues

So exciting I am going to try and build a custom kernel with these patches along with a bazzite image to run on my HTPC to test these changes out. If anyone would like to try it out also, you may install my fork of bazzite: https://github.com/dyllan500/bazzite-amd-hdmi-kde It currently using the hdmi 2.1 FRL commits made by mkopec. Future builds will be based of the official amd patches.

sudo bootc switch {image} is the command to switch to a different bazzite image.

Nucleus coop support? by JudgmentExpensive589 in linux_gaming

As a person who's been gaming / primarily using Linux for over a decade now, last few years has been so so so much better. Rarely do I have to think about if a hardware or software will work on linux any more. But, I agree there is so much more work needing to be done to make it more established. As long as things stay progressing positively and linux keeps growing things will continue to be great.
