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
