The game starts but I have extreme performance issues. I’m not talking about low fps or input delay, I have a decent gaming pc, and it’s relatively new. I’m talking about stutters, heavy ones. I manged to snap two screenshots of this happening on 60fps cap and uncapped:
Almost all video settings are unrelated. If I lower them the freezes also lower in number, but I don’t think it’s a hardware limit… if this can’t run it on high-med (as I had it) nothing can. I ran some benchmarks and stress test, both on Windows and Linux, both Vulkan and Dx11, It didn’t stutter.
Some other things to mention is how I run it. From Steam, normally. I have no forced proton selected, I did no other configs. However I might have something fucked as:
Anyways, thankfully mangohud got me and tells me that I’m using proton-experimental 9.0. (on the prev. screenshots, I had forced proton enabled, stutters the same)
I tried using steam tinker, and it says: “using proton-unknown-958”.
I have no idea what information more to give, I just typed out things that might be related to the issue. If something’s unclear or if I should supply more information, just tell me. Thanks in advance for any help or tips.
SOLVED
thanks for the tips, this one was solved by u/Leopard1907 over on Reddit.
it was my driver, and these two commands:
sudo pacman -S --needed lib32-mesa vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loadersudo pacman -R amdvlk lib32-amdvlk
I tried, proton-GE seems to help, but doesn’t fix. Game runs smoother for sure, but it still gets freezes. I found 9.1 to work best, I’ll try more 8 versions, my tests aren’t scientific. I can’t seem to find how gamescope works or to get it working.
In Steam, open the game’s properties, go to “Launch options”, and type in gamescope %command%. It’ll open the game inside gamescope using the default settings. If your keyboard uses a non-QWERTY layout, you’ll have to set the relevant environment variables.
You should also try running the game using Gamemode (instructions inside). I noticed in the screenshot that one of your CPU cores is maxed out while the others are near idle – does that always happen while the game is running?
Thank you for your time. However a guy on Reddit came in clutch and told me to use an alr driver, I did, now it’s perfect (close enough).
but btw gamescope %command% this was my guess as well, for some reason it just doesn’t start, there was no errs in steam console.
