Description

VRR just doesn't feel right in games; symptoms are that it's super inconsistent and sometimes jumps back to the monitor's refresh rate eventhough the game runs much lower.

I've now stared vrrtest for long enough to figure out that this is caused by the cursor position.

It sounds weird but when the cursor is moved in the top left corner, refresh rate resets to max. The area correlates with about the top 1/8 of the screen (left/uppermost 1/4 of either side) but I'm not sure it's exactly that.

Unfortunately for games, this also appears to happen when the invisible cursor moves into that area (at least in the games I play). This means that moving the camera about during gameplay has a good chance to trigger this and moving it slightly somewhere else (i.e. down and/or right) makes it stop again. This explains the inconsistency. You can therefore also repro this in-game by moving the camera to the left and up.

This happens regardless of VRR mode (1/2) or hardware cursors. Repro'd on 2ec2b3bfb39ba22ba945bb23dc95970dfa50eb5a.

How to reproduce

Enable VRR and the fullscreen fix
Enable your monitor's debug OSD with refresh rate or "FPS" display
Run any fullscreen game or vrrtest
Make the game run at fps significantly below the monitor refresh rate (arrow down in vrrtest)
Move mouse cursor in the right half of the display
Observe monitor refresh rate still matching in-game fps
Move mouse cursor in top left 1/8th of the screen
Observe jump to max refresh rate

What does hyprctl monitors show? Might be a smaller unused screen causing monitor enter-leave events.

I can't repro this on https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/commit/3b66351eeb76e802bac37cc892529549efc49905. All seems to be working fine for me. Just to be clear, is the "fullscreen fix" you mention in step one of your repro steps referring to no_break_fs_vrr = true? As that's what I assumed that to mean when trying to reproduce the issue.

What do you have running in the background? Perhaps a some floating window or widget that exists in that portion of your screen behind your fullscreened app? I've found at least in older versions of Hyprland that waybar refreshes caused vrr spikes even though it was hidden while in fullscreen, while ags seemed to like causing it even when nothing was refreshing at all. Though waybar (I've not tested ags) no longer seems to cause those issues for me, but I'm not sure when that was fixed.

Just to be clear, is the "fullscreen fix" you mention in step one of your repro steps referring to no_break_fs_vrr = true?

Yes indeed.

What do you have running in the background?

There was nothing of significance running in the background, not even a bar. Just a few terminals, Firefox and Emacs in other workspaces.

Atemu commented 4 days ago

I'll re-test this with the latest main and without anything else running to get a clean slate tomorrow.

Is there anything I could do to be able to figure out why it's behaving the way it is?

Atemu commented 3 days ago

Indeed I am no longer able to repro O.o

I'll keep an eye on this and see if I can repro this again at some point.
