Stuttering in Death Must Die

Hello, everyone!

I’d like to ask for help with troubleshooting this problem. I notice that when playing Death Must Die, my frame rate isn’t as smooth as when playing other (even more demanding) games. This laptop is the same one I used for playing all sorts of games on Windows, with the smoothest performance. I don’t really know why this happens when playing in Manjaro, though… can anyone help, please?

Here’s my system info:

Thank you.

i suspect your on wayland and on internal i-gpu that won’t deliver the real performance of your system. check

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE && glxinfo | grep server

post the output, use the option of preformatted text and paste it in

It turns out you’re right!

wayland
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
server glx extensions:

so, now what do i do?

You should first go back to an X session instead of a WAYLAND session as you’re using NVIDIA.

See if you have same issues under the X session, then fix the issues and stay on the X session anyway.

5

I don’t understand what that means… how do I do that?

You need to select X11 at login screen with sddm.
