My controller (8bitdo pro 2 HE xbox) completely disconnects every time I wake up or boot my computer. In order to get it to properly connect I have to completely unplug it and plug it back in. Preferably it would just automatically turn on as soon as my computer turns on. I have tried using usbreset to reset the port but that didn't do anything.

Haven't found this particular problem really anywhere else.

Hello all,

I've posted on the Moonlight github about this, but haven't gotten a reply.

I'm having issues streaming from a Linux host (EndeavourOS) running Sunshine. The issues only occur to my OLED Steamdeck, though. I get the slow network connection popups constantly over wifi and with a USB-C NIC.

What I don't understand, is I can stream to a Windows machine over Wifi from the exact same location at 60Mbps, but with EndeavourOS as the host, I can't even hit 30Mbps and it stutters like hell even below that.

Both the Windows host and EndeavourOS are running in VMs under Proxmox, each with their own GPU passed through. Windows is using a 4070ti Super and EndeavourOS a 7900XTX.

I can stream to other clients from EndeavourOS with absolutely no issues. It is only to the Steamdeck when EndeavourOS is the host that the connection is basically unusable.

Also, I've already been through all the Steamdeck Wifi fixes. I don't think they are the issue, since it works withWindows host. host and I have tuned access points in my home.

So on my PC (Fedora 41) I've been trying to have Starfield run through MO2 using SFSE the past two weeks but can't seem to get all 3 working together like I can with Skyrim (Skyrim is the GOG version so that may be why). Here is what I'm doing:

I installed and ran Starfield + the CK through Steam. All good

I installed MO2 for Starfield using Lutris. All good

Installed SFSE and Address Library. Ran MO2, mods show up. So far so good.

I then tried to add Starfield, SFSE and the CK in MO2 with the correct paths to each exe and ran them one at a time. Each one fails to run even when choosing Run with Steam and Run without Steam.

I ended running Steam and up adding this to the Steam Launch option:

bash -c 'exec "${@/Starfield.exe/sfse_loader.exe}"' %command%

This launches SFSE through Steam, everything works. But going back to MO2 in Lutris and trying to run SFSE or Starfield through MO2 and it fails to run.

I'm stumped on how to basically have my Starfield Workflow go like this:

Launch Lutris > Launch MO2 > Launch SFSE or the CK in MO2 > Starfield/CK launches without Steam

I prefer this why because I don't want to have to launch Steam every time AND I can have better management of my mods with MO2

Now what I CAN currently do is:

Launch Steam > Launch Starfield which Launches SFSE

I'm crazy tired so maybe I'm missing something easy. Any help would be appreciated

After using Xbox for my entire life and purchasing more than 100 games I am finally getting my own laptop and im thrilled to run Linux & avoid the poor privacy of Microsoft and Windows. However, I am concerned that I won't be able to access my Xbox game library. Does anyone know if it's possible to install games from Xbox Play Anywhere on a Linux OS? If not would there be a workaround?

I searched the web and nothing seemed to work properly.
Only a connection via cable seems to work.

What's the current best practice for it that you know?

Just a side note: I recently installed Linux Mint 22.1 as an alternative to Windows 11.
Any help is appreciated!

I get accused a lot of being a Microsoft shill. If I'm shilling anything these days, it's top end nVidia GPUs.

I did the Microcenter experience buying a 5090 and it opened my eyes. I saw firsthand what these parts mean. I was #9 in line and people were offering $1K US to trade spots. Only one person in the first ten spots took that deal. He got a free 5080 in essence.

No one will stand in a line hoping for an AMD card.

I've searched multiple reddit threads but none of them gave a solution, and talking about how wine has poor UWP support. However, those threads were from years ago so I figured it might be worth a shot to see if anyone has came up of a solution. Help would be appreciated!

before anyone comments about how they would never use it because it goes against their principles thats why im saying dkms so hyotheically you could just install it to play whatever game and then uninstall it and reboot and repeat unless you play said game a lot. I did this alot with valorant on windows and its a workable situation.

so after that word salad what would the hiccups be of such a thing existing?

Anyone know how would I fix the connection problem? my server host is using Windows 10 while I am using 24.04 long term Ubuntu

I am new to using a steam deck and Linux. I want to stream games on discord for friends but Vencord stopped working for me so I tried downloading Equibop but the issue still persists even after trying a new application.

Every time I try streaming my full screen on desktop mode, the screen freezes in seconds then is stuck on the forever loading screen. I have so many custom mods downloaded on my steam deck and I don’t want to factory reset everything unless absolutely necessary.

Does anyone have any advice on how to troubleshoot this issue? It would be most appreciated, thank you!

I've just updated my nvidia driver to version 570.86.15-1, and some games that ran just fine with Proton won't even launch now. Every time I try to launch one of those game I receive an error that my card doesn't support directx12.

Any ideas what may be the cause?

My graphic card is GTX 1060 6GB.

EDIT: Actually, my whole system performs worse after the update. I think I'll just rollback to a previous version.

EDIT2: I removed everything related to the driver and installed it again. I think this solved the problem.

Sober keeps on telling me to update even though I have it updated through the update manager and I have no idea what to do so please someone help (if you need more info let me know what u need!) and thank you

I hear a lot from how well RX 6000 GPUs are performative but stable on Linux but how are 7000 series going?

And yes, I am planning to upgrade my computer.

Waydroid just does not open but is still in the processes. I have no idea what to do since I'm still basically new to Linux. I really need help because if I try running a VM, it's just going to lag a lot. So this is the only way I could possibly play mobile/Android games on Linux. Thank you. (if you need any info ask ahead!)

im also kinda slow so i apologize in advance

cpu: i5-4570 3.20 GHz

I want to give Linux a try but Nobara cannot recognize my M.2 SSD with Intel Rapid Storage enabled. If I disable Intel Rapid Storage then I will lose the RAID 0 I set up with 2 HDDs that I use for media storage. Is there anyway I can set up a new RAID 0 without Intel Rapid Storage? Or is it locked behind Intel Rapid Storage? My motherboard is a ASUS TUF Z390M-Pro Gaming if that is relevant.

I'm following the FF7 rebirth nvidia issues on the proton github repo.

Its frustrating to follow. There are experts on that forum trying to diagnose complex problems... But most of the messages are just noise...

People posting repeat messages (without reading the posts from 2 days earlier), or more recently, complaining about "lazy ___ devs don't care about my ultra niche issue" kinda vibes.

Open source software needs constructive communication to work... Github issues are a key forum for that.

Before writing a comment in a github issue, (i) please read the whole thread, and (ii) carefully consider "will my message help this issue get solved any faster?".

If someone posts an specific issue that you also have, just give a thumbs up to their message to indicate that.

All of us rely on github issues to fix problems... Please don't piss in this communal swimming pool...

Okay, so I switched from windows to Linux Mint and I've been able to get everything I needed to work fine. I finally started to check on games and steam detects dual shock with Steam Input perfectly, testing the gamepad also shows it's all working great. But then comes the nightmare that is FROMSOFTWARE.

The game is clearly running, I can get to the main menu just fine, on keyboard and mouse it's working good. But it does not detect my controller at all. It's on permanent trackpad mode.

I tried everything, I changed proton versions, I disabled and re enabled steam input multiple times, I tried manually deleting the steam controller configuration files, I cannot get it to work.

The biggest issue is that the controller layout window is completely blank, like this:

https://preview.redd.it/jhudqna40ege1.png?width=1313&format=png&auto=webp&s=dbbb1c6e673f23779326462c84a153aeee13cebd

On windows, I would just run DS4Windows, which would make windows see the controller as an xbox controller, and the game would then work just fine.

I looked around on how to do the same remapping on linux but the only 2 tools I constantly came across on google are 10 years old and I couldn't even get them installed much less running.

I don't knwo what else I can do here, please help.

I've been having this issue since nvidia's 565 drivers, and currently on the 570 beta drivers. I'm using arch with Hyprland. All games i try to start, run at very low fps (highest i've seen is 15 fps), but when i run them in gamescope, they run fine and at the refresh rate i'd expect. I have a 4090 and am using the nvidia-open-beta-dkms, hyprland-git and it's subpackages, and linux 6.12.10. If anyone is able to help me narrow this issue down and possibly fix it, it would be very much appreciated

Or we can just call it for Linux

Does anyone know a good virtual machine for me to download to play Roblox as sober isn't working for me and there are a few glitches that only work on windows. Please tell me. These are my computer stats:

I have a very big romset on my NAS that I use from my batocera/HDTV machine, my handheld (Batocera) and I WAS using with my Windows machine through Retrobat.
I wiped out Windows from my life and now I'm enjoying the Linux life (arch btw), but I can't seem to find anything even close to be compatible with my collection like Retrobat/Batocera are on the other machines.
ES-DE exists, I know that, but it's a shell without any preinstalled emulator (not even retroarch itself) and I have dozens of systems (even obscure ones) that would be a huge pain to configure one by one. Another pain point is that ES-DE isn't NAS/server-friendly at all, and it even has a media setup of its own (I have music, art, manuals, videos and images for all games in my collection)
Does anyone of you have a similar setup?
Any advice?

Back in like 2003, my dad was playing around with a couple versions of Linux. He installed one of my desktop and it had like 10-15 games preloaded with it. I played the hell out of Tux Racer, but there was one in particular I remember loving but can’t place the name of it.

It was 2D, all pixelated, and you controlled a little triangular shuttle/spaceship. The worlds were static environments, nothing moved or changed, but they reacted to you and your weapons. You could load plastic explosives in to your ship and replace an entire lake with explosives, then shoot it and create a huge bomb. Or if you dropped a bunch of thermite around and shot that, it would spread like wildfire and torch all the wooden structures and grass and trees.

I don’t think there was any story in the game, I just remember horsing around with that little ship and destroying various sandbox maps with it.

If anybody has any idea what that game was, I’d be happy and thankful to hear it!
