It seems like you've provided a detailed report of the issue you're facing with Path of Exile on Ubuntu Wayland session. The workaround you've mentioned, adding CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-dynamic-max-render-time to /etc/environment, suggests that there might be an issue related to dynamic rendering time that could be affecting the game's performance.
Given that the game runs smoothly on Plasma Wayland but not on Ubuntu Wayland, it might be worth looking into the compositor differences between the two desktop environments. Different compositors can handle graphics rendering in their own ways, and this can impact the performance of fullscreen applications and games like https://ffh4xapks.com/ Here are a few suggestions to explore: Compositor Settings: Check the compositor settings on both Ubuntu Wayland and Plasma Wayland. Look for any specific settings related to Vulkan or fullscreen applications. Experiment with different compositor settings to see if there's any improvement. Driver Issues: Ensure that your GPU drivers are up-to-date. Check for any specific driver updates or patches related to Vulkan support for your Radeon 6800 XT. Sometimes, newer drivers can address compatibility issues. Wayland Protocol Support: Verify that the Wayland protocols used by Path of Exile are well-supported in the Ubuntu Wayland session. There might be differences in the Wayland implementation between Ubuntu and Plasma that affect how the game interacts with the system. Community Forums: Check the Path of Exile community forums or Ubuntu forums for any similar issues or solutions. Other users might have encountered and resolved similar problems. Game Settings: Experiment with different in-game settings, especially those related to graphics and Vulkan. Sometimes, specific combinations of settings can lead to performance issues. Monitor System Resources: Use system monitoring tools to check CPU and GPU usage while running the game in both environments. This can help identify if there are resource bottlenecks causing the frame rate fluctuations. Wayland Session Updates: Keep an eye on updates to the Ubuntu Wayland session. Sometimes, newer releases or updates can include fixes for compatibility issues with certain applications. Remember that troubleshooting graphics and gaming performance can be complex, and it may require a combination of different approaches. If the issue persists, reaching out to the Path of Exile support or Ubuntu forums for more specific assistance may be beneficial. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2016990 Title: Irregular frame rate in some fullscreen games Status in Mutter: Fix Released Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in mutter source package in Jammy: Won't Fix Status in mutter source package in Lunar: Won't Fix Status in mutter source package in Mantic: Fix Released Bug description: [ Impact ] I'm having a strange issue with the game Path of Exile (free). With Ubuntu Wayland session, vsync on, I get very irregular frame rates, it jumps around 40 fps. If I switch to Plasma Wayland the game is very smooth 60 fps. I'm running the game from Steam with Proton. I've tried Proton Experimental and Proton 8.0 so far, no difference. The game uses Vulkan so I guess it's being allowed to set up all the swap and presentation stuff pretty much itself... ? MUTTER_DEBUG_DISABLE_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=1 doesn't help Mutter so it's not strictly related to triple buffering, which makes sense since it's a full screen game anyway. [ Test Plan ] None known, other than the OP to run the game. [ Where problems could occur ] In rendering performance of fullscreen apps/games. [ Workaround ] Add this to /etc/environment: CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-dynamic-max-render-time [ Other Info ] Kernel: 6.2.0-1003-lowlatency GPU: Radeon 6800 XT CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/2016990/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
