  • From my experience at least, some games are just like this, more often than not when using proton. I don’t really have this issue that often after switching to i3wm. Can you switch to a different workspace? Is your game in fullscreen? It usually works better for me in windowed borderless. The benefit of using i3 is that you can run games in standard windowed mode, and let i3 fullscreen the application, or just switch workspace entirely. Hopefully this helps.


  • So I just started playing this and I can’t say I’ve had this issue, however I only played for a few hours so far. I’m playing on Arch, no DE just i3wm, Nvidia, X11. Another thing I can think of is that I’m using the Zone Reclaimation Project mod, which is a fan-made mod which has a load of bug-fixes. I don’t believe it changes any gameplay, so it is good for a first-time playthrough. I have no idea if this will change anything, but I have been using it so far and haven’t had any problems, so maybe you could try it? Sorry I don’t have a definite solution for you.










  • I personally use arch with i3 window manager. Before anyone says anything, no, this isn’t another “I use arch btw” gag. It is fast, highly customisable, barebones and in my experience i3-wm works great with games which have fullscreen/windowing issues as it is easy to toggle between full screen and move windows about. For example, Gmod kept sticking in between my two monitors on Ubuntu and wouldn’t let me move the window. With i3, you can move containers around with ease. Plus if your arch installation breaks it is almost always your fault. I also have better performance than when I was using Ubuntu.
