Title. Turning off the fancy effects (which can be done with Alt+Shift+F12) improves performance slightly, but having to toggle them on and off every time I start a game is... Y'know. A thing.

I was wondering if there was a way to automate it, like game opens -> they turn off, game process ends -> they turn back on

Just use Wayland, then you don't have to care about this

Nice non answer. Wayland draws giant black boxes on my rocket league half the time so that won’t work.

Unfortunately Wayland breaks Inkscape and GIMP and even caused Firefox to be unstable for me.

Thanks but no thanks?

Maybe in 5 years. Let it stay in the oven for a bit longer.
