Hello,
This week i finally got new pc after 17 years I changed mint to cachy and install gaming packages and CS2. In Steam i enabled compatibility mode with proton-cachyos native package and run the CS2. I got only 25 FPS on 1920-1080 recomended settings? That is the same like my 17 years old pc got on windows on CS.
what can i do to optimize games?
Yeah that seemsā¦odd. I am running a 6 core, 6650XT, 32gb of ram and I get great performance. First you should go HERE and do what it says under āProvide Logsā. Then add that to this post. It can help people see exactly what you have and what is going on in the system.
Everything is probably fine and this is most likely a set up or optimization issue. I would check out THIS and do a fresh install with that guide. He only cares about streaming and gaming so he knows how to set up right for that. Then watch THIS he will explain tweaks and settings and what they do.
Lastly I would read THIS to learn anything he may leave out. Honestly I would just read the entire thing. It isnāt that long and you will find many useful tips in the wiki.
EDIT: Make sure you listen to what he says and donāt just go pushing buttons. lol Some things you may not need and activating them can hurt performance. One example is ābpftuneā it helps people with bad connections but can cause issues with people who donāt need it. Another thing is āgamemodeā a lot of people on other distros use this as a Steam launch command. WELL here on CachyOS we use āgame-performanceā. He explains all of this in the videos but my point is you should try to really understand what hes saying before you do anything.
Yeah he is what got me into CachyOS. Maybe something in those videos will be a light bulb moment and lead to you solving the problem. If not let me know and we can go hunting for more answers.
I deleted my last post because I asked you a questions that I answered myself and it turned out to be irrelevant.
I know this isnāt helpful in solving the problem (though Iāll monitor and see if I can add anything), but I also do want to say that performance in Linux on most titles has been similar if not superior to Windows. I will admit there are a few newer games that Iāve preferred to play on Windows because GPU acceleration under commercial drivers were better. Thatās usually a transitory thing thoughā¦and say six months after release, things are better on Linux (imo).
Iām not a hardcore gamer but so far every game I have played on Linux runs better than it did on Windows. Also the temps donāt get as high. When switching to CachyOS from Mint I got a decent FPS boost but for some reason also a pretty large drop in temps again. Thatās why Iād like to figure this out because he pretty much has the same specs as me but is having frames that low on CS2 of all things. lol Something is definitely off.
In the last days i watched A1RM4X and then i did some changed but fps were still around 25. Nothing changed with tweaking. Then i installed Mint and CS2. Without customization i started the game and i got 200 FPS But i want cachy on my pc, so i tried again.
I installed only gaming packages, but i was again on 25 FPSā¦
Now i donāt know was is the issue? Need some old kernel (6.8 on mint) to run this or what
