Which distro/kernel are you using? For gaming you need a recent kernel. 6.19Gramrock wrote: Tue May 05, 2026 8:00 pm its not the mouse. imagine a good performing game where when running through the city, the buildings pass by smoothly. but over time, those buildings seem choppy and not smooth. same when doing rvr. when running the game and joining rvr, the first few mins are great but it slowly becomes more and more low fps where i need to restart the game. i read that maybe its because of how proton is translating and somehow causing memory leaks but i can see that other players who are also using vulkan (which is was proton is doing) having great consistent performance.
when i played on my windows pc 6 years ago, the performance was a little slower but it was consistent at least. now i cannot enjoy the game since it becomes choppy. And sadly lurtris immediately closes its installation window so i cannot even look through the log in order to see whats happening. so proton is the only way atm.
Which GPU? AMD or NVIDIA. In case of NVIDIA you should use their latest proprietary drivers.
Start Lutris from the console window with -d to see debug output
Use Proton-GE10-32 as runner.
Are you using the same ingame addons as in windows? Try playing without them but I honestly doubt that this is the issue.
Something is leaking or can't catch up. It's probably the runner. Use Proton-GE. You can also try Proton-Experimental but GE is usually the way to go regarding stability, etc.
I have pretty much the same performance as in Windows. It runs really well. No crashes, no bugs.
