If I plug in both controllers, I get a list of 1 logitech and 3 360 controllers. These ...

NOT racing game. I'm looking for car driving simulation game for ubuntu that's free.

When I hold a key in a game, the key is not held. Instead, it holds for a moment and then stops and repeats - the behavior you expect to see when typing. The most obvious example is holding tab in Counter-Strike causes the scoreboard to flash instead of being shown continuously. Other issues caused by this is jittery movement when using wasd.

This behavior is fairly recent (started maybe 2-3 week ...

I just want to make new files/games/whatever to another drive I have formatted in Linux to use for my Steam games and other downloaded items. I try to add this drive and I am told that drive must be empty in order to be used. The only file that seems to be in the partitioned section is a "lost+found" file...which I am not permitted to remove. Why does Linux make file creation/manipulation so difficult?  ...

Is there a way to make the Unity Game Engine's editor UI font size larger? The font size on the editor view is different than the size of the menu bar's and the rest of the applications I run on my computer (presumably 1.25x as I am using Gnome Tweaks to set my font scaling to 1.25).

If I had to guess, the Unity editor only seems to be using the default 100% scaling setting for its embedded conte ...

I have recently received a powerA spectra Controller.

I plugged it in to my computer it didn't work as expected.

I have tried other solutions from questions similar to mine such as : Installing Driver for XBox PowerA Spectra Controller

None of which have worked. Could it be im doing something wrong?

Or is it because my version of Ubuntu is different?

So I have 2 disks, one with 27gb remaining, and other one of 1tb that is empty.

I'm mounting the 1tb disk in /mnt/big-drive, and I've added a steam library in /mnt/big-drive/Games, via Steam > Settings > Downloads > Steam Library Folders.

When I try to install a game, it gives me the option to select the new folder, but the space available keeps the same: 27gb, and as the game is bigger than ...

I've set up Proton GE-1 6.16 and Terraria just won't run smoothly, it strives to 60fps but still stutters quite a bit, still playable. I have a GTX 1660ti and I am using nvidia-driver-470.

This seems like the complete opposite of what most people ask, but I'm having trouble in full screen as the game usually starts lagging. Is there any way I can exit out of fullscreen?

The games I'm having this problem with is FNaF World, Pizzeria Simulator, and Ultimate Custom Night. I've heard and tried to execute commands to exit and even tried other various things to exit, but is there somethi ...

I am trying to run 64-bit Games on Ubuntu 20.04, I understand that Wine is configured to run 32-bit programs and it is possible create a separate prefix for it. However is it possible to create a 64-bit prefix and merge it with the prefix that is already there, where you can run both 32-bit and 64-bit programs in one prefix?

So I use Hp elitebook 8570p as my computer and I'm running ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS as my os. My steam doesn't run games using proton trough steam play.

This is the screen that pops up when I start the game:

After that pop up screen comes, steam says that the game is running but the game window isn't coming. After a while steam just says that the game closed. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks! ...

Many wine games that I run through Steam(like Hitman 2 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider) and Lutris(all Epic Store and GOG games) are not detecting my AMD Hainan dGPU(even with DRI_PRIME=1) and are running on iGPU, resulting in a poorer performance. I have checked GPU usage in all these games through radeontop. Native Linux games(like Life is Strange) and few wine games are detecting my dGPU and usin ...

My laptop has an AMD Hainan Dedicated GPU and Intel Integrated Graphics 520. I installed Epic Games Launcher from the install script provided on the Lutris' website. I ran Lutris with DRI_PRIME=1 and then, ran Epic Store Launcher. I monitored my dGPU usage through radeontop. My laptop is perfectly using my dGPU when running Epic Games launcher, but switching back to Intel Integrated Graphics when  ...

EDIT: I managed to fix the issue myself. What I had to do was:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 and sudo ubuntu-drivers install

I just get rid of Windows and installed Ubuntu on my PC as main OS. I heard Linux gaming doesn't suck anymore. I tried to play some games that I've bought when I had Windows, so I installed Steam from the software center and it's running super slowly. I do have the hardware to play and have a nice gaming experience since in Windows I never had any problems.

I already tried reinstalling Ubuntu but ...

I am trying to run a steam game with Wine manually. It worked on another device running ubuntu but not this one.

I want to run a specific version of the game, which I have the windows file for, which is why lutris and playonlinux would not work here. I have tried using proton and protonge by adding the executable to steam then forcing compatibility tool, which did not work on both devices.

Whenever I play/run games with wine, my pc shuts down, and when I start it up again it shuts down again. ¿what can I do?
