I’m having FPS drops to half when I’m playing over a hour. I have try to enable and disable vertical sync and Nvidia reflex without success.

I’m playing 4:3 in one monitor and obviously without Proton (because I read that your account could be banned)

I have tried playing natively and with Linux Steam Runtime enabled, I tried to wait for vulkan shaders… Nothing.

It’s strange because if I reboot the game its works perfectly again.

Someone knows some start parameter or something??

    If it happens after an hour of playing, it sounds like a heat issue. Restarting the game drops the load for a minute allowing things to cool.

      I don’t think so. Most of the generated heat is dissipated instantly. The processor warms up until either it’s running at the necessary load or reached its max temp. The temps could increase slightly over time due to the air / liquid temperature (and non heat generating parts of the computer) heating up but that won’t dissipate in a minute

      I restart the game in less than 10 secs and works perfectly. I dont think that heat affects but great idea

    Try this and see if it helps. There’s a problem that Valve is supposedly trying to fix that causes something of a timebomb of FPS stutter after a specific amount of time. I saw someone say theirs was 24 min and mine seemed to align to that too. Set your start parameters to:

    LD_PRELOAD="" %command%

    Oh, one note about this … it will break the Steam overlay.

    Almost always heat or memory if time-based issues show up in gaming. Check your free memory and temps before playing, then when issues start happening.

    Note about the proton thing. The game will start but not let you start any competitive game ( unsure about workshop/casual) but it does start.

    I tried this when I had issues with cs2 and my Nvidia card. I switched back to the native one because I couldn’t play the proton version.

    So i don’t think you’ll get banned for it, it just won’t work. Except if you try to shoehorn/hack the proton version to be able to join competitive games. But that’s a whole other reason to get banned.

    Not having any issues anymore since I switched to team red. Though sadly that doesn’t help your case :(.

    I’d keep an eye out on the GitHub repo. It’s where I found an issue w.r.t. my Nvidia card at the time and once they found the issue and fixed it it got patched in quite fast.

    I got that exact setup and I’m playing without any issues at all. I run the game natively with gamemode as the only launch parameter. One difference might be that I have an AMD GPU but nothing else besides that. It might be driver related but I’m no expert by any means. Maybe there’s people with similar experiences on ProtonDB?
