And somehow every single time the problem was so easy to solve, but apparently crying about it is the better solution.

    Im sorry, I just saw a downvote and thoughts this was another post just ranting and not wanting help

    You should probably try Gamescope. I had the same issue many times with GNOME, so using a seperate renderer would at least solve wether the Problem is with the DE or the PC itself

    Also, if you dont use proton as the runner you should have a seperate wine directory with vcredist installed for every game, since wine dosent like having more than 1 thing per directory.

    Also try installing lutris and steam through flatpak, that way they are system independent too

      Thanks for clearing it up. It is a slight rant as well I wasted a lot of time haha, I’ve already removed the Linux partition and made it windows again so I could reinstall my games. As I’m planning on getting my new pc within the next few months (as long as budget allows) I’m not planning on retrying until I have that system.

      I’ve looked up gamescope but can’t figure out how I’d get that to work, did put it in my notes for when I’m trying Linux again tho, perhaps a video will clear it up. Thanks!

      I tried proton and wine (at least, steam used proton and if I understand correctly Lutris uses Wine?) but both just had the same issue

      I had steam installed through flatpak so don’t think that was the issue either
