Have you ever experienced stuttering in a game if you receive a message in a desktop messaging app during gameplay?
Solution
This is a bug in KDE Plasma [1.1][2]. It appears that it might be fixed in KDE Plasma v6.2 [1.2][3].
Original Post
I have noticed this behavior with Element and Signal while playing Deadlock. The game will have a pretty severe stutter, ie the frame-rate will substantially dip, for half a second or so at the exact moment that a message is received. It seems to happen with every message. Do note that these are only messages that would result in a system notification. All other messages that are silent, ie they have no pop-up notification, do not result in any stutter.
- OS: Arch Linux, Kernel: v6.6.49-1-lts
- DE: KDE Plasma v6.1.4
- WM: Wayland
- CPU: Intel Core i5-4690k
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600
Updates
- I have tried disabling this setting in Deadlock: !
- I have tried windowed-borderless
- I have noticed that the moment that the stutter occurs, my CPU spikes maybe 20% and my GPU drops to 0%.

There's a new API in 6.2 that effects can use though, https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/6203, which blocks direct scanout only when really necessary. It's implemented for all built in effects, and external javascript effects automatically make use of this API too.
Dark souls 2 sotfs stuck at 720p in gamescope
I'm trying to play dark souls 2 with the graphics overhaul mod in hdr. I'm passing 1440p to gamescope with the -W, -H, -w, -h options and limiting framerate to 60 with -r and -o.
The game just refuses to display at anything other than 720p. I can change the in-game resolution setting to 1440p but the resolution just doesn't change. I tried setting a lower resolution (480p iirc) as well, but it still looked the same. Also tried enabling fullscreen but that setting doesn't save nor does it do anything.
I'm inferring that it's 720p because the in-game cursor moves half the distance of the actual cursor with gamescope set to 1440p, but they're in sync if I set it to 720p. To the eye it just looks blurry. The mod menu opens at the size it opens without gamescope but is also similarly blurred. Couldn't interact with it to confirm the resolution due to the aforementioned mouse issue
Outside of gamescope fullscreen works fine and the resolution setting works too iirc (but they reset after reopening the game). Kde plasma. Tried disabling secondary screen, setting scaling to 100 and limiting desktop fps to 60, didn't help
Could this be some kind of steam deck detection? Any ideas?
Minecraft not running
When I run the game I get this error.
I tried reinstalling both jdk and Minecraft, it didn't change anything. I also checked the location of a java file that doesn't exists according to error and it does exists (can't run it anyway).
Distro is NixOS.
Fix: I installed Flatpak version of ATLauncher.
Games not running
I have a problem with Borderlands 2 and Portal. If I run native version game crashes soon after launching. If I run Windows version with Proton game doeasn't launch at all. I tried solutions from ProtonDB but none of them worked. I'm new to Linux gaming so I'm not sure what to do.
I have Intel i9 11th generation CPU, Nvidia 1650 GPU and 16GB RAM.
Fix: I installed lib32-nvidia-utils. Now I can run native version of Portal and Windows version of Borderlands 2 with Proton 7.0-6 (haven't tried other versions of Proton).
Can not for the life of me get WoW working with Lutris
Hello guys.
I am trying to play vanilla wow using private servers with lutris, and can't get anything to work properly.
I stumbled across this post which has people discussing this topic, but interestingly there is a link to github docs.
I follow the instructions in both this and this but even so, when I go through Lutris to add a game and select to search website for installers, then search for battle.net and follow the installation steps I get the error below:

I'm at my wits end. The closest I got was by directly running the WoW.exe file for a client I downloaded with wine from the terminal. The game started up without audio, and then obviously I wouldn't be able to put in my private server's credentials to log in. Please help me
EDIT: I ended up installing battle.net through bottles and I'm currently installing Diablo3 and Hearthstone - will see how they play.
As for WoW classic, whenever I run the 1.12 client I have in its own bottle it opens and then crashes. If I switch the runner to caffe it takes longer to crash, but my mouse seems to disappear when I take it over the launcher and I can't click on anything.
EDIT 2 SOLUTION: I skipped lutris/bottles altogether and as per a commenters suggestion I looked into adding it as a non-steam game to steam. It ended up working beautifully! Here is the video I watched that shows how to do it on a steam deck
Windows XP/Vista codecs on Proton(steam)
I have a game(visual novel) which requires Windows Media Format Runtime for Windows XP/Vista for playing ingame cutscenes.
Any tips on how to install them and run the game on steam?
Lutris WINE .NET Issue During Game Installation - Failure Processing Application Bundle
Im trying to install a game through Lutris using the game's installer and I keep coming across the same error that I can't really find much information on. It seems to be an issue with dotnet itself or the actual game installer and not WINE though, so I am unsure how to proceed.
Here is the log of the install process.

Some more details:
- The game is installed using an installer
- The game is made with Unity 2021 with a Mono version equivalent to .NET 4.8
Here is what i have tried so far (Updated):
- Reinstalling Mono in the prefix using WINETRICKS
- Uninstalling Mono and installing .NET 4.8 using WINETRICKS
- Editing the register in the WINE prefix to show .NET 4.8 being installed (you can see this in provided logs, but I am unsure if I am doing it correctly)
- Creating a symlink to the users home directory (whis 'works' but it installs DLLs outside of the prefix)
