[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 :)

Well that does in fact sound like a memory leak issue to me.

Did you try another distro? How do your games run in Windows?

I thought memory leaks are related to game engine issues.

The games run without any issues ok windows. Ive only tried manjaroOS. I dont want to try other distros because I’ve already set everything up on my desktop. It would suck to log in to everything again.
