[SOLVED] After 45 minutes to 1 hour playing, some games lag like a slideshow when I move the camera. It only fixes when I close the game and open it again. (pixelfed.social)

EDIT: Seems that adding LD_PRELOAD="" %COMMAND% on steam's launch options fixed my problem. Thanks a lot, everyone :)

I don't know why this happens, I tried playing on windowed, borderless windowed and fullscreen and this bug always happens.

Just got the bug to appear again. Plasma monitor shows 8.1/15.4GB of ram being used, but nvtop shows 100% GPU memory being used.

If the LD_PRELOAD="" command doesn't work, I'll see what I can do about the vram usage.

Try lowering some VRAM-heavy graphics settings. This was happening with Elite Dangerous to me with Proton 6. It was fixed with later Proton releases but until then I played with lowered VRAM-heavy settings.
