Screen display rate seems slower on wayland

Open necessarily-equal opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

Display rate seems to be lower, like if refresh rate was suboptimal. FPS count is unaffected, but it feels like if some frames were dropped. The problem seems to be more noticeable in alien base.

You'll need https://github.com/DaemonEngine/Daemon/pull/483 and SDL_BACKEND=wayland to test.

I've been playing on GNOME 40 these days, and didn't notice a difference. So maybe it was just a temporary bug or something. This would need further testing

The way to proceed with this issue I think, is for someone to do a measurement on a FPS-limited setup, and check if they notice a difference. If this was the Unvanquished repo, I would tag this issue S-old-needs-check.

I always play in Wayland mode and occasionally notice dropped frames but this seems consistent with the FPS counter dropping also. I have a high refresh rate monitor (144hz). I will try to pay closer attention and report back here.

I launch the game with SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland.
