[TF2] [Linux] Frame rate drops/game stutters when steam overlay is disabled #5785

Open sweglord227 opened 5 months ago

sweglord227 commented 5 months ago

BUG

After about 30 minutes in game, I begin to experience stutters caused by an extreme variance in my frames. cl_showfps 2 says my min is ~18 immediately after turning it on. This persists even outside of gameplay, in the main menu. I don't notice anything out of the ordinary in console. If you need anything else from me, please let me know.

Hello @sweglord227, your symptoms remind me of https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2901. Do you happen to have the Steam overlay disabled with the game and if you do, does enabling it have an effect?

sweglord227 commented 5 months ago

i do have steam overlay disabled. i can try running the game again with it on. however looking a little closer a some other issues, this could be a duplicate of #5767. i'll get back to you in 30-45 minutes.

alright 53 minutes into this session and it hasn't started yet. it's likely safe to assume that was the problem. i'm gonna keep my client running for a bit into the night tho to see if i just got lucky this time.

sweglord227 commented 5 months ago

overlay was indeed the problem. kinda makes me curious as to why having it disabled would cause issues with rendering/frame rates

Can confirm that this worked for me as well!

Runs flawlessly with the steam overlay enabled. I had it disabled in the past due to previous performance issues with it on.
