Bazzite Tips and Tricks

Bazzite Tips and Tricks

I've downloaded the standard Desktop version with a RTX 3080, KDE and no Steam Gaming Mode.

Desktop Environment

Using KDE the x11 package has to be manually installed and then choosen from the Login screen. This might fix issues with games: rpm-ostree install plasma-workspace-x11

Fedora / Flatpack specifics

Google Chrome provided by flatpack cannot be pinned to the taskbar properly, changing the startup args fixes that. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bazzite/comments/1p6x0d0/comment/nqtvqro/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Ubisoft Connect

Opening ANNO 117: PAX ROMANA I noticed the ubisoft connect app getting stuck at "Synchronizing you achievements with the cloud."
Opening the ubisoft client manually with proton, fixed the issue. You'll need the App ID of the game for that, in my case Anno 117 has the App ID: 3274580 (You can find it right clicking the game => Properties... => Updates)

  1. Open the SteamLibrary directory of your game and check the "compatdata" folder of the game itself.
    In my case it is: /run/media/system/nvme_970_1tb/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/3274580/
  2. After that adjust and run these commands:
STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/run/media/system/nvme_970_1tb/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/3274580/"
APP_ID="3274580"
protontricks-launch --appid "${APP_ID}" "${STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH}/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Ubisoft/Ubisoft Game Launcher/UbisoftConnect.exe"
  1. Log in
  2. In my case I needed to deactivate "Enable in-game overlay for supported games" (Settings => Interface => In-game interface) and deactivate "Enable cloud save synchronization for supported games" (Settings => General)

Still it took ages to start up for the first time.

Install Windows VM

$ ujust setup-virtualization

=> Enable Virtualization => reboot

Fixing game problems

General advice: Install ProtonUp-Qt and try out different Proton versions beside the defaults (e.g. GE-Proton) first.

Next steps:

  • Checkout https://www.protondb.com/ whether there are other people experiencing issues and how they solved it.
  • Try deactivating "newer" or Nvidia specific technologies like Ray Tracing or DLSS. They still often cause problems.
