I have a weird bug in TF2 where the game runs perfectly (144 FPS) for the first 20-30 minutes and then suddenly begins to have stutters(?) whenever I move the mouse or press a key on the keyboard. So far I haven’t been able to isolate what causes the stutters to start, but it’s always the same pattern, with perfect performance followed by sudden choppyness.

If I don’t press anything, the game continues running smoothly at 144 FPS, even if I’m moving in game.

For reference, I’m on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed using Gnome Wayland and I have an AMD card.

The closest thing I’ve stumbled upon is some talk of polling rates being too high on the mouse, however I’m already tried reducing these and nothing happens.

Anyone have any ideas? I can’t find anything really similar out there…

EDIT: The issue was solved by turning on the in-game steam-overlay. I had had it off for years, but for some reason having it off causes this issue in certain source-1 games… weird, but it’s working great now!

Honestly don’t know if it’s related or not, but the next version of Proton (I believe it’s 9.0) that’s coming out, has a lot of fixes, including for input issues.

Then I got nothing. Good luck.

Edit: Don’t mean to be dismissive, I just have no knowledge on that client to help further.
