Low FPS when moving mouse

Hello,

I started to have this issue few months ago in some specific games, firstly I tough that it is issue in Wine, but today I was playing Dota 2, which is Linux native game and I got same issue.

So issue is that in some *specific* (not all) games I get low FPS only when moving mouse, when my mouse is still I have back normal FPS, but when Im moving mouse I have like 10 FPS.

It happens always only after 1 hour game is started, only fix is to restart game, so I have to restart game every hour, and when playing online it is big deal, because I have to leave match.

It happens in games like: Dead by Daylight, Dota 2, Mafia 2.

This is video clip if it in Dota 2, you can see that when my mouse is not moving I have normal FPS: https://www.twitch.tv/tomsk159/clip/Odd … MrDcTAlTSU

Re: Low FPS when moving mouse

There's a bug in steam if you have the steam overlay disabled, then some interaction with the steam record support and the disablement of the overlay can lead to stuttering after a while.

Try running the stuff that breaks with

LD_PRELOAD=""  %command%

in the launch arguments or reenable the steam overlay.

See https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam- … sues/11446 as well.
