--- Comment #15 from tempel.jul...@gmail.com ---
With the default setting of keeping window thumbnails only for shown windows,
the issue completely disappeared for me. Thanks to your rework and Proton's
intelligent use of compositor suspend, I can finally really enjoy KWin
compositing for the first time.

With the patch you provided, the game still freezes with a black window when
setting it to "always" and then alt + tabbing, so it has not changed.

The same btw. happens also on Wayland, but not just with Plasma, also with
Sway. So the issue might indeed lie in the Proton fullscreen hack, and not the
compositors. For some reason it works with Gnome though.
Workarounds are to switch to borderless mode in the Windows games or use a Wine
virtual desktop.

Regarding performance: In Heroes of the Storm, it's 154fps without compositor
vs. 147fps with kwin-git. So it's a ~4.5% loss, which I think is fine. Windows
DWM performs very similarly. I think KWin Wayland and Sway are a tiny bit
faster though.
But I personally really disdain compositor vsync in games in general, I can't
stand the added input latency and uneven frame output due to repeated/discarded
frames vs. direct tearing. ;)
