First of all: I don’t have anything against Wayland. I just wanna play Minecraft occasionally.
I am running Fedora with KDE on some HP workstation with an Nvidia 2060 FE. I am using the proprietary drivers. With the next release of Fedora (and KDE), Wayland will be the only supported Display Manager (as of my understanding). I tried switching to Wayland, but I get some weird black stuttering in Minecraft making it completely unplayable. The bad thing is that with my friends GPU, a GTX 1050, it worked just fine. On my Laptop with just the integrated Graphics too.
Have you got any tips for me? I neither want to switch the distro nor the desktop enviroment, as I’m happy with how it is. I could imagine buying a used amd gpu, but I dont really want to spend a lot of money.
For now, I am just waiting and hoping they’re having it fixed in the release. ** Edit:** thanks for all the help. @Pantherina@feddit.des solution, forcing it to use xwayland made it better, but then i discovered that if I’m in fullscreen, it works perfectly fine, also without xwayland. It seems like a really dumb solution, and i’m not quite happy with it, but hey, if it works, don’t touch it.
tl;dr: In fullscreen it works just fine
It is probably your NVIDIA driver. Version 545 has this kind of problem. Rolling back to 535 solved it for me.
I’m having the exact same situation with a 2060 super particularly badly when CPU spikes but not exclusively
Full screen hasn’t worked for me, but that’s probably because I’m using hyprland. Forcing it to run in xwayland solved the issue for you?
Have you tried temporarily disabling the Compositor with Shift+Alt+F12? This fixed a lot of my graphical issues in games under Wayland with an Nvidia card.
That shortcut does nothing on Wayland. What you’re experiencing is either placebo, or you’re not using Wayland
You’re correct, it’s actually a KDE shortcut. My misunderstanding.
In my case it did help, so not a placebo. Given that OP is also using KDE, it may still help.
Yes, it is a KDE shortcut, a kwin_x11 shortcut to be more specific. It’s not a thing with kwin_wayland, and so it most certainly did not help or do anything for you - unless you’re not actually using the Wayland session of course.
Try forcing Minecraft to use XWayland. Thats easy to do when using the Flatpak (you can open it, close it again and then copy the ~/.minecraft stuff to ~/.var/app/com.mojang.Minecraft/.minecraft or how its called to save time.
Then in the KDE Flatpak settings you can disable Wayland (under “more settings”) and it will run as XWayland, that may fix something.
And if you want to keep using Xorg on Fedora KDE and even Kinoite that should be possible by editing either /etc/sddm.conf or some configfile in /etc/sddm.conf.d/. This does not require the “install a RPM” hack that adding SDDM themes does.
Btw if you want a LAN world you need to allow some random 25565 or something Port as UDP and another random port tcp and udp afaik. You enter that one port then and discovery doesnt work but other people can directly connect to you
Switching over to the discrete GPU work in the efi/bios might help. Optimus (the driver that chooses between discrete and integrated) is known to be a steaming pile.
