Hyprland making my games stutter

[Gregster31]

I'm beat. I spent countless hours trying to fix the problem, but I can't seem to find the solution.

When I try to play games downloaded on my nvme drive and move the mouse to look around the game stutters. I diagnosed the problem and it's a problem with Hyprland and how the mouse inputs (Keyboard inputs are fine) are processed or something similar to that. To come to that conclusion I checked all my pc components (they all worked fine). Then I tried with other compositor and the games ran no problem.

If you resolved that issue or have an idea on how to resolve it, any help is appreciated!!

Using Proton to play Steam Games
Motherboard: B650I AORUS ULTRA

Since this is a Hyprland issue, you'd better create issue/discussion under Hyprland repo, not here.

Also different games differ on performance. You should point out the names of related games. You may also get help from protondb.

(Maybe related: #1071 )

Ok thanks, I'll be sure to post them under other repo too. As for the related games, it's pretty much all the games that require mouse movement ex: Dredge, Minecraft, Elden Ring, ...

Try disabling v-sync in your game. I think i've had similar flickering with it on. If that doesn't work I can't really help as I personally don't game on Hyprland

Thank you! Yeah disabling the in-game v-sync worked. It also made me realize I had set my 165hz monitor to 60hz, I found somewhere that "if your GPU rendered frames faster than 60fps, it could lead to frame tearing or stuttering if V-Sync is disabled, or INPUT LAG if V-Sync is enabled."
