Screen tearing while playing some games

hugyourlovedones

I started playing a game today and I noticed those horizontal lines when I move, I do believe they're called screen tearing.
I checked the game's options but there's no vsync.
I'm on KDE and going in the "About this system" I copied the following details:

Operating System: Solus 4.6 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0 Qt Version: 6.7.3 Kernel Version: 6.11.10-310.current (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor Memory: 31,3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6600 Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Product Name: B450 AORUS ELITE V2 System Version: -CF

I hope this is enough information. I didn't change much in the default system aside for installing some programs, aside for that the only setting I changed using superuser was reducing the grub countdown.

Try see if it also appears in Xorg.

Ignorant question but... How would I do that?

hugyourlovedones Not ignorant, just a normal question 🙂

Log out, then at the bottom at login screen there is a (not obvious) clickable options that says "Wayland Session" or something. Click that and choose "X11 session" instead, then log back in. You are in X11 session now. You can check which session you are in with this command :

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

Sorry I'm taking ages between replies.
Busy week.
On x11 it doesn't seem to be a problem.

I don't know what to do with that information however^^'
Does it mean I should play only on x11?

Wayland is still in heavy development so there might be some few quicks here and there. Wayland is going to replace X11 soon, but for now X11 is the saftest when it comes to gaming (for now).
