Mangohud causes periodic stutters on Hogwarts Legacy, doesnt occur with Mesa overlay
Describe the bug
As the title says, there are periodic stutters with Mangohud on this title that even exposes itself in main menu or game settings menu.
List relevant hardware/software information
- Arch Linux
- Commit ff6e595 , i use this to fix some unrelated regression that occurred due this https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud/commit/e96a0bf5afbc8f01b648a739bfd34379979c23cc
- GPU: AMD RX 7900 XTX
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Install Hogwarts Legacy ( on sale on both Steam and EGS currently)
- Observe behaviour with Mangohud and without Mangohud
My config:
horizontal
legacy_layout=0
table_columns=20
cpu_stats
gpu_stats
vram
ram
fps
frametime=0
frame_timing=1
hud_no_margin
gpu_power
cpu_mhz
engine_version
device_battery=gamepad
cpu_temp
gpu_temp
gpu_junction_temp
gpu_mem_temp
gpu_core_clock
gpu_mem_clock
resolution
time
vulkan_driver
toggle_hud=Shift_L+F12
gpu_list=0
Nuking ALL of the gpu stats related entries fixes it.
I tried with different variants to narrow it down but not a single culprit was there, any of them being in brings stutters back.
A bit more clarity for the issue:
Issue doesn't occur if NTSYNC is off.
NTSYNC on, GPU stats on= Periodic stutters
NTSYNC on, GPU stats off but mangohud is up still= No stutter
NTSYNC off, GPU stats on= No stutter
