As others have said, it might be the new steam recording feature being a touch buggy still. You could also try running the game through gamescope. I’ve had that resolve weird stuttering when game frame pacing wasn’t matching up with the refresh rate of the monitor or compositor properly.
The older Tribes titles if you’re into classic arena shooters. Tribes 2 had some maps and modes that were more Battlefield-esque too. The old Age of series were excellent LAN games as well (empires/mythology). These are PC titles and I’m not sure of your target platform.
Epic generally works fine through Heroic launcher. Though I’ve had some occasional problems with Heroic and in those cases Lutris running the Windows Epic Game Store Launcher solved every time. Steam and Proton are still the easiest plug n play though.
I can vouch for Bazzite and always will as long as they keep up the solid work. Running on a laptop (gnome variant for easier fingerprint login) and desktop (KDE, cuz I just prefer KDE day to day). It just works™️.
1000% on the money here. You want encode, decode, calculation, acceleration? They got it. Rock solid, beautiful and simple. You want that shit to actually SHOW UP ON SCREEN? Get the fuck outta here. What do you think nVidia is, a GRAPHICS CARD company!?
Just rock an atomic distro. You choices then become: it boots, OR: the OS is no longer present so I guess it’s not my problem anymore.
Literally just started doing this last week. I did NOT expect it to work so much better than the name-brand app for such a “closed system” as Sonos.
Yes, the total conversion package makes it self-contained in the steam library/store. It just checks that you own a legit copy of Skyrim to run it. It has its own steam page even, couldn’t be easier. Plus it’s free (assuming you own any edition of Skyrim) so it’s hard to pass up with so little risk aside from your time.
Have you considered Enderal? It’s a total conversion mod for Skyrim on steam, so the bones of it are the simpler Skyrim systems- but it overhauls everything and has excellent world building and quests to boot. A full mage playthrough/build is very fun/rewarding. Just understand that it is NOT Skyrim. It looks like it sometimes, and there’s definitely still that Bethesda jank, but it’s its own beast.
The answer is toolbox or similar container systems. It runs a sandboxed version of another OS inside your Bazzite install with minimal performance overhead. Not quite the same thing as virtualization, but thinking in those terms can be helpful for those new to the concept. It won’t let you run and install everything, but it sure will handle a lot!
