Only thing not working properly right now for me is Trackmania 2020, i get massive lagspikes due to it.using 100% Cpu for some reason.
I mean its ubisoft so thats probably why its shit but i like.the game and would love it if it would work properly
Are you on an Nvidia gpu?
Yes why? 3070ti
I have had the most issues with Nvidia gpus. Have you double checked it didn't go back to the open source drivers after an update? Sometimes you need to download the proprietary drivers from Nvidia's website after every kernel update.
Funnily, my performance in trackmania is fine... But I have an entirely different issue - if at any point I open the Ubisoft overlay, from that point on, if I tab out of the game and back in, I'm unable to control the car until I open and close the overlay again. The UI accepts inputs normally, it's just the car that doesn't.
Previously I had an issue where the game would refuse to accept controllers being connected while the game was running - the button prompts would actually switch to controller style, but the game would refuse to accept controller inputs, and the controller wouldn't show up in settings.
But yeah, those are issues very specifically with that game, I don't even know how they managed that.
The game is also horribly optimized. Are you using open planet? You can install the tweaker plugin and reduce render distance, although this probably only reduces the load on the GPU. For me on steam deck it works fine if the maps aren't too big, at least I don't get cpu spikes.
