#[SOLVED] How to riddle down cause of selective poor game performance?

I have recently built a new PC (Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Radeon RX 7900 XTX), and before that I switched to openSUSE Tumbleweed on my old machine the month before (because Microsoft fixed the old-known Pico scripts and I thought it was a good time to switch).

So far I have only installed and ran two games on my new machine: Cruelty Squad and Hitman: Contracts. Cruelty Squad worked flawlessly on this Arch install, and on the old Drive with openSUSE.

Hitman: Contracts on the other Hand runs well on the openSUSE Drive on my new PC, but on the Arch install after all the intro cutscenes, it stays at 19 FPS and the Audio is frequently popping and crinkling.

Right now I don't have a clue where to riddle down the cause. I checked journalctl, that helped me with an unrelated Issue from today, but I didn't find anything I think.

I have checked the wiki, and I have all the drivers installed. My Arch System says I have RadV for my driver, but openSUSE says the same, so I don't think it's that.
(also so far I find it confusing af this whole thing with mesa, amdgpu, vulkan-radeon, amdvlk like what is what, and which is which)

Any help is appreciated!

Some of those are used for video games. Usually some of those are preinstalled (comes with the kernel)

#

If the game is running poorly, it might be running the wrong settings, drivers, or bad support on Linux.

#

Additionally, games may be running only on the cpu for some reasons.

#

Check lspci -k

#

It should list out what driver is in use

#

If multiple is in use, black list it

#

Try using only the mesa driver for hitman

#

Based on protondb’s website, some users indicate that there are audio issues.

okay, Update: I have installed these prefix scripts from the AUR, and I went to the directory of the game and started it with RADV. WINE started up and said something about MONO missing, so I said it could download it, and the game booted up, it actually had fluid, usable fps, but now there was no sound lol

#

Oh wow, I started up through Steam as normal now, without any prefixes or anything

#

and now it works flawlessly

#

guess it was Mono?
