Linux mint and Warframe

[IDontGiveUp]

Hello

so i wanted to test linux mint while running warframe game and i tested and noticed some stuff about this.
that is all awesome, so i tested steam and warframe and i noticed some issues along the way.
1. running warframe and adjusting settings, which is not a problem by lowering down the stuff for fps and perfomance.
2. playing randomly warframe and doing for a long run seems to have error and issues while using proton experiment with 8 gb ram and how much proton and steam and linux chew the ram, seems that they need to give info, on how much we need ram to run it, since windows has no issues to run this old game.
3. all windows games are running perfectly fine, but looks like some programs need adjust it to use no ram for this things, unless they find something to stop chewing this much ram memory, and i get it we need to buy more ram, but what is the point.
answers from other users to fix this all would be most welcome:

Plus on the 2nd question to add, after running for 30 minutes it just crashes in loading, running a game to be noticeable, this can be tested by some developer for this game and see what causes for Linux to act like this, or just to find some fix like limiting usage of some resources as in windows OS
spec are intel core i3 11th gen( 8 core, 8 threads)
8 GB DDR4 Ram
Intel GPU
HP Laptop
and maybe adding more resolutions setting for lowered, even when there isn't intel installed driver

Honestly, if you don't want to endlessly troubleshoot your system and have the applications it can run limited as if it were a Raspberry-pi, download windows 11.

You sure,maybe there should be some sort of test with a systems logs and how the game works on Linux to see where it glitches, so it can be patched, that isn't much hard, if we all find the right tools for the testing with logs of reports from applications we use at that time, when we start warframe, we'll it would be worth a shot, if we had the names of programs that does that and commands.
Even when warframe logs won't help, there should be some program that would constantly keep reading and getting a logs from a game to see how it acts in those 30 minutes, and how it acts in windows 11 and 10.
Since on windows you can stay longer hours on warframe, there should be some solution like find an error or glitch that behaves to force crash the game.

I mean, some of us got away from Windows for a reason...

Anyways, this may or may not be related to your problem, but I used to have issues with stuttering frame-rates after playing for about an hour, and putting this into WF launch options in Steam seems to fix the issue for me:

LD_PRELOAD="" %command%

[IDontGiveUp]

well i guess i got a report from a linux kernel its saying like this
Steam has been terminated by the Linux kernel because the system is low on memory. Consider closing unused applications or browser tabs.
this is from linux.
so according to usage of 8 gb of ram memory ddr4
linux

plus steam options to disable some things
downloads
Shader pre-caching
enable shader pre-caching(0 MB pre-cached) enable it
Allow background processing of vulkan shaders enable it.
Library
Low bandwith mode enable it
Low perfomance mode enable it
Disable community content enable it
Ready to play should include streamable games enable it
Show steam deck compatibility information in library enable it.
and voilla it works ok for now.

Why go through all that when you can just download an OS that functions and is compatible with just about everything out the box?

Why run a bloated operating system that I can't set up exactly the way I want? Why post unhelpful comments on the steam forums?

Because that operating system won't have you re-programming the whole computer and troubleshoot why it can't do something as simple as running a video game. There's also de-bloating scripts you can run. At the end of the day, the effort you want to put into your PC is your choice, I choose to use an OS that allows me to do my work and game without having to fuss about.

So you both should stop, still only this is report of issues we are dealing and testing, so relax both, just because I transferred to Ubuntu I wanted to test it, on how it acts, like Microsoft is any better with their stuff when they slowdown the pc.

So warframe has drops on running a free maps, effects of explosions it can't handle, than they should increase requirements for Linux to 16 gb of ram and gpu to 8 gb vram

W11 is Garbage, 10 is bad enough.

Works fine for me. Gaming and completing my work on it without issue. Haven't had to tweak it or anything, just works out the box.

I don't know what to tell you apart from getting your RAM up to 16 GB. You are playing on an unsupported OS with Hardware that is not enough anymore in this day and age.

I am running this game on Linux as well and have zero issues. (Proton GE-10.3)

Yes, you need more system memory. It's tough to play modern/updated games with 8GB these days. If you already tried freeing up as much memory as possible then yeah you should look to upgrade to 16GB by installing more memory or getting a different machine. What's the exact GPU name and how much VRAM does it have?

Targeting the minimum requirements is usually a crap shoot. They're usually the theoretical absolute minimum requirements to run the game and aren't always super playable or stable.

W11 will not work fine for OP judging by their specs, it's too resource hungry.
