As the title states, my games stutter any time I move my mouse. This doesn't happen immediately and instead takes anywhere from 20 - 50 minutes to start. If I exit the game and restart it the stuttering goes away until enough time passes.

• EndeavourOS
• KDE Plasma
• Games Tried: DayZ & Hell Let Loose

Things I've tried/noticed

• Reduced polling rate from 1k to 500 on my mouse
• Wayland or X11, makes no difference
• Performance vs balanced power mode makes no difference
• rolling back nvidia drivers from 565 to 560 made no difference
• rolling back linux kernel from current to 6.11.2 made no difference
• proton experimental, proton-ge made no difference
• Moving my mouse on my second monitor doesn't cause lag
• Moving the game to either monitors makes no difference
• disabling the second monitor makes no difference
• When I run 'top' in the terminal I see the game running 'engMain', when I have it focsed, the %CPU will show somewhere between 300 - 400 when not moving my mouse - the game runs fine. When I touch my mouse the %CPU value plummets to about half of whatever was initially shown and the game stuters. This does not happen when the game is initially started
• making changes to Plasma Renderer didn't seem to have any impact
• Different mouse makes no difference

Not sure if this is readable, but it's a copy paste of an interrupt log before and after the stuttering started: https://pastebin.com/RGywuTkA. I think the last entry or 2 is after the stuttering began.

I'm at a loss of what else to do. the top cpu readings indicate this is something to do with my CPU, but I'm not sure where to go from here.

I use Gnome on Mint 22. I'd need to double-check the Gnome version, though.

I use a Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse when playing Lord of the Rings Online, Final Fantasy XIV, or World of Warcraft, and I've noticed brief freezes whenever using the number pad buttons on my mouse to trigger abilities. I don't experience this issue when using the keyboard to trigger abilities or in other DEs like Cinnamon or KDE Plasma. However, I prefer Gnome overall as a DE and would like to continue using it. Does anyone know what might be causing these performance hitches and how I might resolve them?

As the title says, I constantly get audio crackling when I use the game. I've tried a few things: changing the sample rate in the ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf and ~/.config/pulse/dameon.conf files, changing the latency in the game settings, using Proton Experimental and activating mono mode, but I haven't really had any results. This is the only game where I've encountered this problem, and apart from the sound, the game runs normally (except for the main menu, which has completely buggy textures). Does anyone have any other suggestions for solving this problem?

I recently got into modding Fallout 4 (GOG version, running in Heroic Games Launcher) on Linux and I'm noticing a really weird an annoying issue where my cursor isn't staying in my Fallout 4 window and keeps moving across my monitors causing me to click on things on my secondary display. I checked to see if Skyrim had this issue, which it didn't, so it seems like the issue is unique to Fallout 4 (both with and without script extender). I tried editing a few ini files to ensure Fallout is launching in fullscreen mode but those haven't worked. Has anyone else encountered this issue? I searching online but I can't find it anywhere else.

Hi!

I gave a gaming PC hooked to my living room tv. Current build is a 5800X3D + 3060TI.

Currently running windows with Steam big picture mode at boot.

The features important to me : - TV is an OLED 4K/120hz display, the card/os/driver must support HDR. - Sound bar / surrounds are connected with eARC on the TV, PC must be able to pass 5.1 audio to the sound bar (had issues with AMD in the past). - Currently have 6 Xbox controllers on a Xbox wireless dongle.

My Christmas gift to myself was supposed to be a 4070TI Super, but I’m considering bazzite os to replace windows. If I buy an AMD card can I expect everything (not talking about games, already looked what I’m playing on proton db) to just work including and HDR ?

I still think DLSS is superior to FSR and I would prefer an Nvidia card but all my research found posts from 1y+ ago saying that Steam Game Mode will come soon when nvidia patch their driver (which they never did).

Well the question is in the title. I'm not really a beginner with Linux I know it to a certain extent. But i wanted to ask if you guys would recommend it.

Is there any remote desktop for playing games on Linux? Aside from Steam.

I especially interested in: - Being able to login in SDDM remotely (I can probably stiwtch to login screen of Plasma itself if it's necessary) - Being able to use desktop as well - Wayland, if possible

If it can do that, I don't care if it's self-hosted or hard to setup.

Hey, I like linux and what they do, the thing is that my laptop have a Nvidia GPU and they dont typically run as well as AMD's for linux. I ask if there is a store online that might sell gaming laptops with very good AMD GPU's. Bounus points if they sell in South Africa where I am.

So, I have this SN30 Pro, which works great with Bluetooth, but whenever I have to charge it, the mappings are messed up.

If it's wired in XInput mode, A/B and X/Y are swapped. If wired in DInput mode, LB/LT and RB/RT are swapped... or at least I assume that's what is happening since it can only output LB/RB.

I have tried to follow this guide on hwdb files, just to get stuck like this person, thanks to the scancodes.

I think I found other possible solutions, but unfortunately they all seem to increase latency, which I would prefer to avoid.

I just installed Feral Interactive GameMode using the instructions for Ubuntu/Debian on Linux Mint 22. I used the provided terminal commands on the Github page to install the dependencies, then built and installed it as instructed.

Upon testing to see if GameMode would work with the provided command:gamemoded -t it produced this ERROR: Failed! message as attached below:

Did I do something wrong, should I uninstall and reinstall? Or is this normal and expected?

I am new to Linux, literally downloaded it yesterday. Before going on Linux, I downloaded RDR2 and mods on WIndows. Base game works like charm, but when I try to add DLL override, the games crashes.

I use 3 mod loaders, Lenny's Mod Loader, ASI Loader and Scripthook

I thought 'Some mods may cause the game to crash', and so, I put all mods away from RDR2, and tried to run each Mod Loader, but, it just crashes.

When I tried to run just dinput8, the game atleast 'started' (It was black screen for split second before it crashed)

I do not know what to do to fix this, so, if someone knows, please do share

I play my GOG games using GOG Galaxy, I installed it using the script provided in the Lutris website. I don't use the GOG launcher built in Lutris because it just does not work, no matter how many times I disconnect and try to reconnect, my games just don't appear, I don't know what is going on there.

The GOG Galaxy takes about 5 minutes to launch, and once I'm in, it scrolls up and down slowly, or has small freezes / lags.

I'm currently in Arch, but I experienced this with Manjaro, Fedora 39 and 40, and Linux Mint. (I have been trying different distros these past two years).

For those who have experienced this and made their GOG Galaxy run smoother, any advice?

The runner I am using is lutris-GE-Proton8-27-LoL-x86_64.

Hi all,
I'm hoping that one of you might help me out with this,

For some reason when I'm using an external monitor i get real low frames with the UFOTest, maybe this test is not the most reliable but the screen does seem to lag.

When it comes to reasons i'm betting that is related to my current drivers or lack of wayland support.(which I'm not 100% sure since I get 240fps(with the laptop screen) on the UFOTest vs the 28 with my main monitor)

Details about my system:
Distro: Fedora 41 (silverblue, Bazzite)
Graphics: 4080m 565.57.01 (I know... this probably wouldn't happen if I had an AMD)
Screen: Rox Strix xg32u
Resolution: 4k 144hz (yes lowering the resolution does seem to increase the frame rates but not by a lot, meaning it still lags.)

NOTE: Either with gnome extension or supergfxctl, I'm stuck in Hybrid mode, changes do not stick, no matter what I do.
