[SOLVED] Some games (Terraria, Factorio) are heavily slowed down

Games like Factorio and Terraria runs literally in slow down mode. Everything moves like 20% of it's actual speed.

Factorio - everything is slowed down.
Terraria - interface is OK, but in the game it's slowed down.

EDIT: In terraria I also see some glitches happening, which are not expected. I did not see any glitches in Factorio.

I've tried only Cyberpunk 2077 under wine and it runs totally OK.

----

Kernel: 5.11.3-131-tkg-pds
Nvidia (2080Ti): chaotic-nvidia-dkms-tkg 460.56-6

EDIT: Tried using "linux" kernel with "nvidia" driver from official Arch repos - no difference.

Monitor runs on 280hz, tried the following:
1. In Nvidia settings uncheck all the settings (vsync for example), no difference.
2. Disabled desktop composition (XFCE4), no difference.
3. In desktop settings I've set 60hz for display, no difference.

Anyone has similar issue? Any tips on what should I try in order to fix it?

What's your

glxinfo -B
glxinfo32 -B

from (lib32-)mesa-demos? Sounds like your OpenGL acceleration isn't properly setup, which can happen if you use a generated xorg config lacking the

Section "Files"
   ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia/xorg"
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection

or potentially due to boot race conditions that can be alleviated with https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … de_setting

Thanks, @V1del. Your solution fixed this issue.

For everyone else coming to this thread, in the file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" I had only this section:

Section "Files"
EndSection

I changed above section to this:

Section "Files"
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia/xorg"
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection

And after reboot everything works perfectly.
