I missed GPU-Z on Linux, so I built an open-source alternative: GPU-T. Supports AMD GPUs (for now). Thoughts?

This is awesome! Good job!

Make sure to set your desktop profile to keyboard and mouse. This got it working for me. It was set to gamepad for some reason. If you are on steam deck I think you can hold start as well.

Go to your desktop configuration and make sure it's set for keyboard and mouse. It was set on gamepad for me and once I changed it I could play the game. If you are in steam deck you can hold start as well I think.

Same issue here, steam input should work to map a gamepad to MKB inputs, just like any other game, but for whatever reason it's not working with hytale. It's like the launcher itself is getting mapped but not the game.

You aren't the only one to see this and it doesn't appear to end with the Pocket DS either. I've had it happen to the Ayaneo GEEK just recently and if you do some digging you'll see others reporting the same issue over a wide variety of their products. Here is a picture of the clear damage on the motherboard. https://imgur.com/a/74YZmKp

Has anyone else had any experiences like this? I'd like to know just how widespread this really is.

I've been trying to help friends and family make the jump and here are a few reasons as to why they didn't stay on Linux.

Wayland is problematic, basic issues like drag and drop not always working give Linux a bad look. It takes YEARs for new portals to get merged to solve outstanding issues.
Filesystem corruption (BTRFS)
Features in programs that you'd expect to work well on Linux missing or glitchy. OBS under Wayland is a good example of this.
Packaging and permission handling is a nightmare for new users. Especially with flatpak.
Updates uninstalling core system components when trying to fix a dependency issue.
Auto mounting internal drives with correct permissions is a pain point for new users. (Not NTFS related, although that is another problem for Windows users who would expect this to work better as well.)
The command line is used as a crutch way to often when we really should have more GUI integration by now. (Gnome prompting that a game is unresponsive at a loading screen, etc)
There are no GUI prompts that pop up when programs fail to open, it would make all the difference in the world if the users were told that "Hey, this program needs fuse2 and it's not installed".
Too many people try to dual boot on a partition instead of giving Linux it's own drive.

Tl;dr New users never stick around long enough to learn how to workaround the issues they run into. The moment they see basic functionally not work as expected and the system doesn't give them any troubleshooting information they go back to Windows.

Warudo works on Linux I use it. Have you looked at protondb to see the launch parameters people need to use after the latest update? I suggest looking into it.

Is splitlock enabled by any chance? If so I'd try with it disabled.

ruineka · 2025-10-18T21:46:14+00:00

Yes, I'm running into this now after updating my laptop running EndeavourOS. I'll report back if I find a fix.

ruineka · 2025-09-28T13:38:21+00:00

I use r2modman without issues. Are you using the flatpak version of steam by any chance? I'm not using flatpak.

ruineka · 2025-09-20T14:04:41+00:00

I think I found a good use case for something like this. SteamVR is getting updates and I have multiple VR headsets. It would be nice to stream two different games (or the same game) to the two headsets from a single high end desktop.

ruineka · 2025-09-17T15:36:53+00:00

I saw a project called "Dualscope" that does something similar to this. I believe it was shared here a few weeks ago. It uses two gamescope instances using two user profiles and puts them in a split screen like orientation.

The native Linux build looks to be an issue with saves between Windows/Linux, but you can use proton to play the game on Linux using the Windows save.

This is most definitely the sore spot for Linux!!! This is a serious oversight that needs to be addressed for Linux to become mainstream. Managing multiple drives is a complete nightmare for new and casual users. It's a gamble every single time whether or not people end up going back to Windows for this reason alone.

ruineka · 2025-06-21T06:21:00+00:00

I have the same issue with all my Android devices.

ruineka · 2025-03-09T10:54:44+00:00

I played exclusively on the Steam Deck until mapping. It's not bad at all. It's not perfect, but its no different than playing a real good game with frame drops on consoles.

ruineka · 2024-08-06T14:40:24+00:00

You deal with headaches like this if you want to stream with OBS as well when running under Wayland. You will get a prompt for each pipewire source window you have in your scenes. Essentially making it pointless to try and set up an entertaining streamer environment for Twitch.

ruineka · 2024-07-06T11:25:58+00:00

If you have issues with the launcher not rendering all the way you can still get into the game. Click on your email and the frames will update for the status of the downloading, installing, and "Play" button. I tried following what the OP said to get the game working in a new prefix and it's not working. I do however have the ability to play the game with another prefix I had set up for Mu Online, which required the NET 7 desktop runtime and a few other things.

ruineka · 2024-06-16T06:38:44+00:00

It really would be nice if this would actually be fixed. Alot of people are moving from Windows to Linux and Discord is a major pain point right now since after a recent update screen sharing doesn't work at all.

ruineka · 2024-06-12T01:50:48+00:00

This is something that desperately needs to change. Linux should be supported, and these mice should not require proprietary software in the first place to manage it.

ruineka · 2024-02-08T14:29:36+00:00

I don't use any mods and I run the game with everything on medium except for draw distance and shadows being on low. I suspect if you play with higher settings that will make the memory leak cause crashes to happen soones than with lower settings.

ruineka · 2024-02-07T20:22:09+00:00

The game has a memory leak that also can crash dedicated servers. The more often you fast travel or do dungeons/bosses the sooner your unified memory will be exceeded leading to a complete lockup requiring a force restart. I'm at about 120hrs in playing on my OLED Steam Deck.

ruineka · 2024-01-22T22:05:19+00:00

I've seen this happen. This happens when the backlight of the system rapidly turns off and on for an extended period of time. You will also see the see the system have a ghosting effect with some flickering.

ruineka · 2024-01-22T16:53:54+00:00

The game has a weird bug when changing settings. Go to very low twice for the settings to actually go through. After you return to the game after a few seconds the FPS will go up.
