[Bug]: Hyprland Becomes Unusable ( extreme lag) and Waybar Segfaults
Bug Report
Description
- So this happened after I updated my Arch from the past week, I thought it was maybe that or Hyprland not sure what exactly is causing this, but after like some time around 1-2 hours on runtime laptop cursor becomes unstable like just not usable, it just lags so much that to move from left to right of the screen it will take around 40-50 seconds.
- Now at first I didn't know why this was happening along with waybar getting segfaulted randomly, they aren't always together btw, they both can happen individually.
- So after I just reboot and it's fine , but today I noticed something while it was happening I saw the number of workspace going to 41 42 43 and closing it self which was weird and that's where the lag started to happen.
Steps to Reproduce
1.Not sure , it just happens randomly.
Expected Behavior
- Just not lag and stay stable?
Actual Behavior
- Lags and waybar getting segfaulted.
Screenshots
- it's so laggy I can't take a screenshot, nor that it would help.

Check btop for something that might be causing this like eating CPU usage of ram.
Check btop for something that might be causing this like eating CPU usage of ram.
Yes I tried this when it happened, nothing unusual on htop, it's barely consuming 40-50% of the ram, load is around , all the cores are balanced.
toggle gamemode.sh ? this disables animations and some eyecandy rendering. If this doesn't work and nothing is weird in the process list, try hyprland-git and see if they fix such issues already.

Right , I will update if it happens? in this issue and there as well if continues.
Thanks for the quick updates!

@MostlyKIGuess did it work? I don't remember we are using wireplumber though, I do remember we are using pulseaudio module.
