100% CPU usage when running swaylock

[stove-jeebs]

problem: swaylock does not appear on screen and uses up most of my CPU

I later fixed the problem by removing screenshots and discovered that it only works with one monitor

this is the output for swaylock -d:

Also started happening to me recently. Can we re-open this? Edit: this could also be a Hyprland issue.

@ErrorNoInternet try remove the screenshots from your swaylock config file in ~/.config/swaylock/config. Also, do you use multiple monitors?

Yes, I do have the --screenshots flag and I also do use multiple monitors. Your solution works for me. Might be related: https://github.com/jirutka/swaylock-effects/issues/43
