Weird stutter on KDE Plasma with Wayland with nvidia proprietary drive

Hello, I get this weird, awful stutter on Wayland: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ … e5b038d09&
It's gone in windowed mode but there in both fullscreen and borderless windowed mode.
Is there anything I can do about it?

Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Ok, not an optimus system.
Watched the video - is only this game (resp. steam generally, I guess) affected?

No, I also tried Satisfactory using Heroic Games Launcher and it had the same issue.

Can you reproduce this issue on X11 also? (try with: KWIN's effects disabled + remove any nVIDIA's settings + only set in-game V-Sync)

Let's pretend I've no idea wtf you're talking about, do you get this w/ an SDL game like https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/warsow/ ?

Curiously, I don't get this with Warsow.

Re: Weird stutter on KDE Plasma with Wayland with nvidia proprietary drive

Not that curiously. SDL games can use wayland natively. You'll primarily have this issue with stuff running on xwayland. The current nvidia-beta driver has a bunch of fixes here so this might be worth a shot, otherwise https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xorg … t-sync-git but that's also in experimental valley.

Thank you so much! I read that explicit sync could be a possible way of fixing it but didn't know there was already an implementation of it! It did indeed fix my problem!

Thanks.

And sorry for not responding, didn't get a notification for your comment (happens sometimes depending on activity patterns, I guess)
