I’ve used to be able to play this game just fine at around medium graphic settings through Proton (GE), but today when I launched it again after a while the performance was just really poor.
Like mouse-moves-at-30fps-in-the-menu-poor.
There have been plenty of package upgrades since my last launch including plasma 6, proton and the game itself. So I don’t really have any particular suspects here.
Running Arch with AMD GPU. Wayland/Xorg didn’t seem to make a difference.
Has anyone else experienced similar performance degrading in this or another game lately?
Mildly interesting observation: Having the game open in the background made browser scrolling very sluggish.
found a pretty reliable way to make it perform shitty - alt-tab out of the game, do something memory-hoggy, like firefox with plenty of tabs and alt-tab back. it’s often (but not always) super shitty then.
I’m on F40 Plasma, didn’t have that degradation on F39 Gnome when alt-tabbing; but then I had Gnome session crashes frequently, which never happen with Plasma 6.
