Tracking issue: native Wayland support #482

Open necessarily-equal opened 3 years ago

necessarily-equal commented 3 years ago

Wayland is the new fancy display protocol on Linux. It should bring security improvements, kill tearing and bring higher performance to the Linux world. It would be nice to support it.

To try Unvanquished on Wayland, set the SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland env var. It will force the wayland backend.

I can still reproduce the issue where I get less fluid display on Wayland, GNOME 40. I have about 20fps less out of 120 on Antares with 9+9 bots on a self-hosted server ("Start LAN Server" button).
