The specific issue that rendered it unusable for me this weekend was that hitting F11 to fullscreen stopped the game from running smoothly, permanently: toggling back to windowed did not resolve the problem. Nor did launching it in fullscreen with -f help. Only leaving the window at its original size, unusably small on a 4K monitor, allowed the game to run at 60fps.

Unfortunately I see the same result with this PR. So don't merge it on my account! Other things that have changed since this worked well for me include:

I have a desktop machine that's not super performant, with Intel integrated graphics, and a 3440x1440 display, and the current Blastem worked fine, with about 20 to 30% CPU usage. I use Pipewire and Wayland too. Can you check whether OpenGL is enabled in the Video menu? It should be enabled by default.

Yep, it is:

I can check some more permutations of OS versions etc.

Might be an idea, even running from a live CD should work. I'm using Fedora 35 right now. Whether or not that works, it might be worth installing the .Debug flatpak and trying sysprof. Can you confirm that it's chugging because it's using too much CPU?

You could also try it unsandboxed, by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH= to the Flatpak app/lib directory and launching the binary. Would be a good way to check that the problem isn't with the sandboxing.

Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 630 (CFL GT2)...

The stable version works perfectly on my Fedora 35 machine so I blame something on the Endless OS side…

OK, let's close this then.
