Stupidest fucking bug I've ever seen

Posted by Eldarkox@reddit | linux | View on Reddit | 8 comments

I'm using Linux mint cinnamon on an Acer nitro v16 laptop with a 165hz screen, an Nvidia GPU and and CPU, I have had this issue in two games (tf2 and silksong) where the game is running at more than 200 fps but it looks like it's running at 60 and has the input delay of 60 fps, I've checked my refresh rate, my Nvidia settings(I turned off v blank and vsync) and updated my driver's, I even asked chatgpt for help and it ended up just telling me to live with it. PLEASE HELP.

Is wayland support in cinnamon already stable enough?

Also had this issue on various games, though I could not find a solid fix on Mint.

What did work was switching over to Fedora KDE so I'm guessing Wayland plays better with certain games, and VRR would also improve your experience.

Since it looks like you'd prefer sticking with mint, you could try actually enabling an in-game frame limiter or vsync to see if it improves anything - this partially worked for me for other games, but fps drops would reintroduce the issue.

I have tried, but no results. Btw is fedora good for gaming?

Have you tried KDE or have you tried a different distro?

The issues you're having are due to X11, you need to switch your session to Wayland. Or to a distro that uses that as default.

I'm personally using Garuda Linux because it's has a bunch of tools that make setting it up super simple. Runs on Wayland with KDE by default.

Pretty good for gaming given it's more cutting edge and has features you'd want (like VRR) working out of the box. If you want an even more straightforward option you could look into Nobara which is based on fedora with a few gaming oriented tweaks.

X11 VS Wayland dude.

Fedora KDE or CatchyOS is what you want.
