Troubleshooting

No effect / DRM still fails

  1. Confirm Proton is GE or CachyOS, not stock Valve.
  2. Confirm LinUwUx is on the game command, not linuwux lutris (Common mistakes).
  3. linuwux --version matches what you expect.
  4. Host-side DenuvOwO requirements (cs.rin) are actually in place.

Log spam / hundreds of “loaded” lines

You likely wrapped a launcher or entire process tree. Use per-game prefix/env only.

Overlay / MangoHud broken

You replaced LD_PRELOAD instead of appending, or used mangohud linuwux …. Use the wrapper and correct order (Common mistakes).

Gamescope + Lutris/Faugus

See Gamescope — unsupported smooth path for now.

Debug log for issues

Steam-style:

LINUWUX_DEBUG=1 ~/.local/bin/linuwux %command%

Attach: linuwux --version, Proton build name, short description of game/DRM, and the log.
