Stellaris Game low Performance

steven0coro

Hello
Thx for the awesome Solus Distro. I love it so much, but i have a problem with the performance in the Stellaris Game.
In Pop OS! i run Stellaris on Steam (native OpenGL) with 120-140 FPS (new Game).
With Solus (native OpenGL) and the same new Game i only have 60-70 FPS.
I really love Solus and i hope someone have a fix for this performance loss.
Thx

steven0coro just a quick thought: integrated gpu <-> dedicated gpu?Maybe on Pop you run on dGPU. On Solus on the iGPU instead?

steven0coro

Maybe, but all other Games runs fine in Steam with Proton.
How i can change this in Steam to run a Game with the GPU? (Steam command line?)

check the gui tool doflicki, also called hardware drivers to see if there are drivers available to be installed. You can check the current status of your configuration via comand line: linux-driver-management status

I installed my Drivers correctly. I think there is a problem with Opengl.

so that means, you have a dedicated gpu (amd, nvidia!?) and you have installed the appropriate driver? That would mean you fully run on the dedicated gpu (keep in mind that solus only supports an "always on" mode. No dynamic switching between integrated and dedicated gpu is possible like with bumblebee and the like).
If so, i would indeed guess, there is something wrong, because of the huge difference in those FPS.....

My Rig runs with a GTX1080 OC Waterforce and all other Games runs perfekt in Solus.....again....only openGL Games they runs nativ in Steam (without Proton)
War thunder running also much better in Pop.

Well then i don't really know, sorry. Could be a lot of things. Different version of OpenGL, different settings in game, a missing library in your Solus install......try searching the internet

steven0coro

Can i install manually other Opengl versions?
I tried many different things and now i have no more ideas to find a fix.
The only solution is to switch back to Pop Os.
Thx for your help.

no you can't really install another version of opengl. It comes with mesa but is also dependent on the graphics driver. You could check the version via glxinfo | grep version (glxinfo is part of the package mesa-demos i guess)

Maybe try a different branch of Nvidia drivers, and see if it's any better? On my system with Nvidia drivers the performance is good, but I'm using the dev branch of drivers.

If you're on the linux-current kernel, you can install the other branch (nvidia-developer-driver) with this command:

sudo eopkg it nvidia-developer-driver-current nvidia-developer-driver-common nvidia-developer-driver-32bit

Thx
I try this later and write a Feedback.

steven0coro

I give up. I tried different Nvidia Drivers.
Too bad....thx anyway for the help.
