Quoting: slaapliedjeOn the Deck for the first game, I ended up fixing the slowness by forcing 60fps :) works flawlessly after that! (with the Linux binary, for some reason the Proton one worked just fine anyhow.)
What do you mean? The game (Linux version) was locked at 30 FPS?

Quoting: CyrilI think by default it was running at 30, yes. I went into the performance thing, turned off the limiter and set the vsync to 60, then it ran at a solid 60fps and was fast and smooth. It is definitely a game that is dependent upon refresh rate.Quoting: slaapliedjeOn the Deck for the first game, I ended up fixing the slowness by forcing 60fps :) works flawlessly after that!
