Keyboard input lag

WhiteWolf

Hi,
did anyone observed after recent friday updates (mesa,lutris,etc.) that starting a game from lutris creates an input lag in games for keyboard, especially titles with use wsad to move? Witcher series, Lotro, F4 all of those have keyboard lag for me.

WhiteWolf Just checked WoW through Lutris , Alan Wake through Lutris via the Epic games launcher, Witcher 3 through Steam proton and Life is strange windows version through minigalaxy (Thanks for suggesting minigalaxy Harvey) and all running without any keyboard input lag.

WhiteWolf what desktop environment are you using?

WhiteWolf

laky Gnome. I tried to turn off MangHod, turn off V-sync etc. but still lag persists.

WhiteWolf well this guy had similar problem with his Gnome setup https://discuss.getsol.us/d/4891-gnome-3-36-input-issues i tried to help him, but it seems that it is a Gnome issue.

laky thanks. I'm just wondering what happen recently. I didn't had any problems like two weeks ago when I last time played a game. Maybe it's a Gnome issue, don't have time to reinstall Solus now and change it to other DE and don't want to atm. I have some development tasks to do for work.

WhiteWolf not sure what would cause this problem, it's probably out of my power to solve it. But if I still had gnome I would try to mess with options or terminal command like xset --help take care, and good luck! 🙂
edit: also the man xset cmd will provide you with more info.

WhiteWolf I'm on Gnome DE and not affected, my settings for WoW clasic below.

WhiteWolf This issue is not isolated to GNOME but it also effects Budgie. KDE and MATE are not effected so that leads me to believe this is an issue with a GNOME component rather than GNOME itself. However, the lutris-fshack-5.6-5 build seems to have worked! So this might be a conflict with a GNOME component and some wine builds more testing will ensue. I've been having the same issue on FFXIV. I would play around with different wine builds in Lutris and see if you get any results.

Walnut could be the wine version you are using that is not making these problems as with other users. There was a post earlier about Wow not running good with newer versions of Wine.. Its still a long shoot but that might solve @WhiteWolf 's problem.

Well I think this input lag is related to GNOME, as when I use Steam only other games have this lag also. So wine/proton doesn't matter.
