Re: your second question, I’m not at my pc rn so can’t give full details, but I’m running plasma on Wayland in arch using a nvidia card (3080) and everything’s flawless since the 555 driver update with explicit sync. Only thing that comes to mind is checking to see if you’ve set the nvidia-drm modeset=1 kernel parameter?
Also seconding @Bigfish’s suggestion about heat, try watching your temps while you game maybe? I’d also watch ram usage just in case something’s got a memory leak and is pushing you into swap.
you solved it! so I was doing some testing and The Outlast Trials actually runs great! However Deadlock must have a memory leak with proton or something because that seems to be the only game gradually dropping frames like that. Thank you so much
I know you refrenced Bigfish but I didn't see a comment from them. Thank you both!
I can finally use arch btw ;)
Had the same issue with my games, but Deadlock was one that I could consistently get it to slow down after a few minutes, all because of VRAM (I'm on Nvidia too). Simply lowering textures to medium on Deadlock solved it, at no discernable quality change.
Glad to hear that! You might have some luck trying different proton versions with Deadlock (proton-ge is my goto) or checking protondb for anyone else’s results?
For you and/or anyone else whose instance might be defederated from lemmynsfw, here’s @Bigfish’s comment:
