  1. install gamemode from arch extra repo
  2. configure nice value
  3. add user to gamemode group using sudo usermod-aG gamemode $USER 4.run gamemoded -t

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Additional context i have also edited the pam config to allow to gamemode to renice

Changing the renice limit for usergroup gamemode might do the trick, add @gamemode - nice -19 to /etc/security/limits.conf

I also have this problem. I'm on Manjaro.

@windblows95 This was working correctly before without that modification.
