Game often lags randomly

[ionic marsh]

Self explanatory, didnt happen during the public beta and it just keeps getting worse with each release.

There are two kinds of issues, the first one being the one that forces me to restart the game, as randomly the game decides to wait 100 ms per every keypress and mouse action so literally unplayeable until a restart.

And the second one that happens far more often is randomly all my frames drop, despite the GPU and CPU being underused, so the game casually decides to simply enter slideshow mode, sometimes it fixes itself, sometimes i have to restart.

Running Arch with GE Proton, but that has never caused me problems that look alike in any other Unity game so i can only speculate it being BattleBit

maybe this uses up one single core but still how come

[cyan basalt]

@ionic marsh yea I had the same issue back with mine, did you fully unlock your deck?

[ionic marsh]

I'm playing on a gaming rig, not a steam deck, been daily driving Arch for years at this point

[wooden spindle]

same issue

mine started yesterday

[cyan basalt]

then it could just be a Linux problem altogether , an since thy haven't really bothered supporting Linux I'm just happy that ot works

[ionic marsh]

The oddest part is that it must be a side effect of either the newer updates or proton, but its the only game where this kind of issue happens so i'm gonna have to think where can i even look

[cyan basalt]

proton 7.3 worked for more maybe 8.0? but I do remember using 7.3 ALOT for things an it still stuttered for like 30secds before going back to normal 45fps for me, also on arch Linux is there a tool that limits fps on screen? or for game like the deck linux? it's one of many features I liked about that thing

[ionic marsh]

I use GE 9.16

[ionic marsh]

gamescope perhaps ? albeit its a bit heavy / intrusive, + most games have both VSYNC and an FPS limiter

[ionic marsh]

i never really used the normal protons, but this kind of issue only started happening recently

i cant even play a full match without the game just starting another one of its seizures

[near lantern]

i get the same on windows

[ionic marsh]

Game wakes up and decides to choose violence, maxes out all the damn threads of a 5800X3D

[near lantern]

i have the same processor , your on linix right?

[ionic marsh]

Yeah Arch

No game ever does this but BattleBit

The public beta as far as i can remember ran extremly smoothly

[near lantern]

is this game designed to run on linix

[ionic marsh]

No but the fact that it was running perfectly before means there was a breaking change, plus if you say it happens on Windows then its not just a Linux issue

• EAC has a Linux runtime and Proton runs Windows games very well, borderline better than Windows itself

[near lantern]

when did you notice this problem

after the previous update?

[ionic marsh]

Very long time ago but I only play once a month for a few days at best

[near lantern]

@ionic marsh
have you tried doing this.

I will look into it this is irrelevant to Linux and handled by Proton i rekon
