First some tech specs out of the way:

• OS: Bazzite
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5600x
• GPU: Intel Arc A770 16 GB VRAM
• RAM: 32 GB DDR4
• Mesa: 25.2.6

Previously, earlier this year, I had issues like these with Oblivion Remastered. Since then a lot of updates have arrived on Mesa and I've been able to play UE5 games... relatively... well. At least, the graphical issues don't exist anymore. Arc Raiders runs particularly well.

So I decided to reinstall Oblivion Remastered and see if that works without visual problems. But now I can't even launch the game properly!

It consistently crashes 2 or so minutes after launching the game (any Proton version it's supposed to work on, so from 9.0-4 and up, including Proton GE). So this happens when the shader precaching hits around 48%.

At first I thought this was an issue with UE5 shader caching, but after it crashes in the middle of shader precaching it can launch into the game's main menu where... it crashes after about 2 minutes.

This is not an immediate crash; after about 2 minutes the game freezes (the game specifically. My system still works fine), it stays frozen for about a minute, and then it crashes with a UE crash report window.

I've been trying to look for solutions, but I'm only finding reports from earlier this year where the game would crash after an hour or at specific points in the game, nothing that is similar to what I'm experiencing.

First, some technical details out of the way:

• OS: Bazzite, should be latest version.
• CPU: Ryzen 5600x
• GPU: Intel Arc A770 16 GB
• RAM: 32 GB DDR 4
• MESA: 25.2.7

When attempting to launch an Unreal Engine game with Proton version above 9.0-4, or Proton Experimental, or above GE-Proton 10-1 I get this crash and error:

!status && "vkQueuePresentKHR"

I've searched for this error and only found some old threads pointing to Steam Overlay being a problem. However, disabling Steam Overlay does not stop this issue.

Some of the UE games I play function on lower versions of Proton, others refuse to launch at all.

What could be causing this issue? What would I do to fix it?

EDIT:

Apparently it's an Intel card issue with a new feature in Mesa and Proton. It's so obscure and specific to Intel cards that I couldn't find anything on it.

So apparently there is some sort of anti-lag feature in the current latest version of Mesa that the newest versions of Proton can use which needs to be disabled for Intel cards with this launch command:

DISABLE_LAYER_MESA_ANTI_LAG=1 %command%

I added this to Arc Raiders, a UE 5 game that didn't launch with the latest Proton versions, and it solved the issue. There has already been a case opened on the Bazzite Github: https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/3252

Consider this a reminder for people currently watching Star Trek, old and new.

Logic and controlled emotion aren't inherent to being a Vulcan. Somehow gaining Vulcan traits, or biologically transforming into a Vulcan, will not make you logical and emotionless. In fact, quite the opposite would happen.

Vulcans used to be warlike, barbaric (as Spock would describe them) and nearly wiped themselves out. It was the teaching of Surak in the philosophy of pure logic, after centuries of war, that made Vulcans what they are today. Vulcans do this by training logic and emotional control throughout their childhood and teenage years. Ultimately culminating in Kolinahr, the final stage to "purge emotion". But Vulcans still experience emotion, and their state of control is something that requires constant maintenance through meditation and practice.

Vulcans are far more emotional and passionate than even Humans. If a Human so much as houses a portion of a Vulcan's Katra (the mind/spirit), said Human would struggle immensely to keep their feeling under control.

I'm writing all this because I'm getting the feeling that this very important part about Vulcans is being forgotten (perhaps more-so by the current writers of Star Trek).

Edit:

Together they can make the combined-arms-gulls.

Hal Effect sticks are a must. I'm looking for a controller because my PS4 controller has some pretty horrible stick drift. I don't want a repeat of that.

PlayStation layout is also a must. Never understood the appeal of the wonky xbox layout.

Must also ship to Europe. Preferably a company from Europe. But outside of Europe also works if shipping and customs don't add twice the controller's cost to the price.

I'm asking this in Linux Gaming, so obviously must work with Linux (though so far I've had less issues getting controllers to work on my Linux desktop than I've had with Windows).

As a Bionicle fan, LEGO recently burnt me and the whole fandom pretty badly. So I'm pretty much giving the whole company the middle finger.

I know there are probably a bunch of good alternatives out there, and I remember some being mentioned to me previously, but I don't know where to find them.

I'm looking for LEGO and LEGO Technic alternatives/knock-offs of good quality. Preferable European in origin rather than Chinese.

They don't need to have popular or brand themes, or be copies of actual LEGO sets, just good parts at good prices.

First, my specs:

• AMD Ryzen 5 5600x
• 32 GB DDR4 RAM
• Intel Arc A770 16GB
• Ubuntu 25.04
• 6.14.0-15-generic kernel
• Mesa 25.1-rc3

Let's get one thing out of the way real quick; no, the GPU isn't dying. Oblivion Remastered is the only game this glitches happen in.

I've taken these screenshots in the Imperial City as that's where the artefacting happens most drastically, however it still happened in the starter dungeon/sewers and outside. I know that AMD GPUs had some weird visual bugs, but the ones I'm experiencing are not the same, and I can't seem to find anyone else experiencing these problems (after days of searching. It sometimes seems like I'm the only one with an Intel card in the world).

I've tried running with Proton 9.0-4, ProtonGE 9.27, and the newest Proton 10, but I don't think it's an issue that can be fixed with merely running a different Proton version.

Game compiles shaders upon first launch (I reinstalled a few times) so... it could be an error with how shaders are compiles...? Maybe...?

Either way, I'm at a loss now and need help figuring this out...

First, let me get my system details out of the way:

• CPU: Ryzen 5600x

• GPU: Intel Arc A770

• RAM: 32 GB DDR4

• OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

• KERNEL: 6.8.0-55-generic

• MESA: 25.0.2 (from kisak)

I am having issues with Unreal Engine 5 games, most recently with the Nightengale Demo. Games built on other game engines, and mostly older Unreal Engine games, work fine (i.e. Baldur's Gate 3, Age of Empires 4, Helldivers 2). Here are the problems I've experienced so far (assume that I have already gone to ProtonDB and tried a number of the launch commands I found there):

• Complains that my system isn't DX12 compatible (Nightengale specifically does this when trying to launch the game with Proton Experimental, Proton Hotfix, or Proton-GE).

• Immediate crash, with the UE5 crash window showing (Nightengale does this when trying to launch the game on any other Proton version).

• Launches to a black screen and stays that way... forever... until force-closed.

• Launches, but runs choppy, below 10 fps, unresponsive, and with terrible graphic issues (The Ascent, a UE4 game, does this specifically).

Has anyone gotten Nightengale and other UE5 games to run on Intel ARC GPUs? I've been searching for hours and only found some sporadic threads about it (ones that aren't over 2 years old).

I've rooted my android phone many years ago. Back then that was a different phone than I have now, and I was still using Windows.

I'm now trying to find a way to root my current phone (Motorola g62 5G), and have no idea how to do it through Linux. However, I seem to only be able to find instructions that are specific to windows.

How would I go about doing this on Linux (specifically Ubuntu)?

EDIT:

Thanks to a number of answers on here I've managed to find my way and rooted my phone. Thanks again, guys!
