if i boot up a game. for example elden ring. it is really laggy and lags my whole pc. sometimes even freezing my whole pc. i have to unplug if that happens. eventually the game does become normal again and everything turns to normal. but it can still freeze after that. this does not happen on windows at all. could this be because my arch is on a hard drive?

yes?

nimble shell Jul 27, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

are you able to provide a log of the game running or a screen shot of a system monitor during the game lagging?

i am still unable to. but i do remember it taking up 80% of ram and 100% swap once (only once though)

#

it was like 13 gigs of ram i think

#

sounds like you need to upgrade your ram

i have 16 gigs of ram though

#

is that not good

#

also i am able to do the system monitor thing

#

give me a moment

#

if the swap is filling up then you are out of ram

#

cached data will also be in your ram beside your active applications

#

ok so here it is without elden ring open

#

just

#

firefox (1 tab)

#

discord

#

kitty

#

prism launcher

#

konsole

#

kwrite

#

obs

#

and gnome system monitor

#

now let me boot up elden ring

#

now i havent tested this with other games yet. so there is a chance of it being a bad elden ring update

nimble shell Jul 27, 2024, 7:04 PM

#

i havent played elden ring so i dont know the normal ram usage

hidden raptor Jul 27, 2024, 7:04 PM

#

i also dont know cuz i never checked but it sure as hell wasnt this slow and causing my pc to freeze before

#

#

in title screen

#

it already freezed my pc a tiny bit when i went into loading screen

#

ram usage still the same

#

odd

#

its not as slow this time

#

its rlly inconsistent

#

and when it is laggy

#

it does go away

#

wtf

nimble shell Jul 27, 2024, 7:16 PM

#

can you show the system monitor again?

nimble shell Jul 27, 2024, 9:26 PM

#

when the game is loaded

#

i should say when its lagging

nimble shell Jul 28, 2024, 3:50 PM

#

... solved
