Very strange bug. Raw performance seems fine enough, but it seems like anything related to “time” is totally thrown off and sped up.

Let me explain…

  • My loading times are normal, but the hints they show you during the loading screens which usually last >5 seconds are flashing very quickly, rotating every half second it seems.

  • If I change a graphical setting normally it gives you a 15 second countdown to review and accept the settings. This timer races down to 1 instantly.

  • Cutscenes are obviously a mess.

  • Actual game play is a mess of rubber-banding. The main character goes too fast, then too slow, then rubber bands back to where they probably “should” be.

It’s bizarre. I do not experience this on other Linux devices. Htop shows the CPU is fine and no cores are hitting anywhere near 100% usage.

The Problem Device:

  • Lenovo 13s with 6800u and 680m iGPU

  • Occurs with both 2gb and 4gb memory dedicaged to VRAM at any graphical settings

  • Currently running Fedora but I recreated this on Ubuntu and Arch as well

  • happens on all versions of Steam Proton I’ve tried, 6, 7, 8, experimental, and GE. Also none of the launch options suggested on ProtonDB seem to have any impact

    Those are in proton since forever ago, and OP used proton. Also they don’t help if your clocksource is hpet instead of tsc.

      never knew about the hpet thing (my machines all run on tsc ootb), and I didn’t see the part where they were using proton
