[SOLVED] Planetside 2 on Linux (Microstuttering)

Does anyone here play Planetside 2? I'm having issues running this on Linux, even using high-end hardware.

This would be a flawless experience if not for this small, but major problem in a multiplayer FPS like this. I'm staying at a solid 60 frames even when there's a ton of stress going on, but after twelve minutes or so of gameplay, I'm seeing it pause momentarily, about the length of a second.

Here's what I've tried:

• Verified that GPU is set up properly ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU )

• Disabling my compositor for X11 (Doing this fixed another game I had, but not this one)

• Verification and re-acquisition of Steam files

• I changed proton versions several times, from experimental, tkg, and even to the really good GE ones

• I've tried tinkering with various steam arguments after doing some research on ProtonDB ( DXVK_FRAME_RATE=144 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES=libglesv2=d WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_STRENGTH=1 gamemoderun %command% was my first option,

then I cleared it, tried playing again, but it did not fix the stutter. So I tried to run the launch options with this argument instead, thinking that it could just not be prioritizing my cores correctly:  WINEDLLOVERRIDES=libglesv2=d taskset -c 08-15 gamemoderun %command% )

I spent quite some time trying to figure this out, but, unfortunately, I didn't find an answer. This is the only game that I have in my library has given me these unique sorts of problems on Linux, so I'm not entirely sure what else that I could do other than assume Proton has problems trying to emulate it from it's Windows ecosystem. Would anyone be willing take a swing at this?

vulkan-icd-loader and lib32-vulkan-icd-loader arent mentioned in the wiki and they fixed a lot of stuttering issues i had in older games like bioshock remasters. Not sure about planetside 2 but you could try it if you dont have it installed yet. Checking protondb reports it seems tho that it might just be the game unfortunately.

Remove amdvlk and lib32-amdvlk and make sure you're using (lib32-)vulkan-radeon instead should be a first check. Generally speaking some small stutters could be due to shader compilation and can generally not be avoided, but will better themselves the more you play.

Re: [SOLVED] Planetside 2 on Linux (Microstuttering)

Yeah, you mentioned that before, but like I said, this is the only game I have that does this. I thought I could tinker with it and make it run like the more modern games I've got, but I guess there's just nothing we can do for this particular title for the moment. Also, I do have those packages that b341c mentioned, but they're attached to a few crucial things I need for this build.

Well, thank you for the feedback. Marking as solved.
