Empyrion Galactic Survival Low FPS

Hello there guys! I'm trying to run Empyrion Galactic Survival on Steam. At first I had crashing errors, but virtual desktop fixed that. Now I have fps problems. In a singleplayer world I get 5-10 fps, and in a multiplayer I seem to sometimes get normal fps, sometimes terrible fps. If I have terrible fps on multiplayer, restarting Empyrion fixes it. I would like to also be able to play single player though. Empyrion has a silver rating on proton-db and should be fine. I have tried proton experimental and latest proton-ge. I have an rtx 2050 mobile. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

absent-sapphireOP3y ago

With your saying that it helps to restart that might be it hmm

absent-sapphireOP3y ago
i have 15gb ram and 8gb swap so it should be fine but even restarting doesnt make singleplayer work multiplayer is ok if i restart but singleplayer is still 5-10fps

absent-sapphireOP3y ago
i can later yes i remember what it said tho from when i tried it earlier gpu was at like 100% cpu was at like 20> it was using the right graphics card with the right driver version

oh hm gpu bound is hard to much about Tho i'm not sure why it would be different between sp and mp then
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphireOP3y ago
ye idk why it would be tho it might just be poor optimization ig, empyrion is known for that

Since it was unity (i think) i wanted to check if it's one of those games that become super slow on Linux with higher core counts But doesn't seem like it sadness :bread_sad:

optimistic-gold
optimistic-gold3y ago
The only experience i have with docker is getting it set up so i can compile Proton and then never touching it again 🐸 And that involved alot of googling :linuxLUL:

optimistic-gold

absent-sapphireOP3y ago
@Blisto I fixed it :D it works fine now with good fps with these args: PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia The wined3d is the main one The rest just make it use my dGPU
optimistic-gold
optimistic-gold3y ago
Hmm. If wined3d helps versus dxvk then im still sus towards vram But yay nice!

absent-sapphireOP3y ago

:listenyoupieceofshit: Booooo

optimistic-gold

absent-sapphireOP3y ago
Ah
optimistic-gold
optimistic-gold3y ago
Seems familiar at least Maybe i should try on my old rig next time i hook it up R9 380x Anyway. Glad to hear you got it playable
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphireOP2y ago
Yeah :) Now everything works except reforged eden scenario Which is noted to not work without a swapfile on protondb @Blisto how much vram do you have i have ok fps now but i have freezes/stutters think it may be cos i only have 4gb vram which is the games minimum

Ye minimum should usually be padded a bit on Linux since Windows have much better memory management

i may get a better cpu tho
optimistic-gold
optimistic-gold2y ago
At least when dxvk is involved. I dunno how vkd3d-proton fares Looks fine i guess. Tho i'm probably not the one to ask about pc parts :linuxLUL:
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphireOP2y ago
ah the gpu is good right the ram is VERY good nice first-word latency
optimistic-gold
optimistic-gold2y ago
Ye i think a 6700xt is pretty decent the 12GB is nice. I wouldn't get one below that Personally i like to pad the PSU a bit extra. But it probably doesn't matter in practice But seems fine yes i think
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphireOP2y ago
im a noob, whats the psu?
optimistic-gold
optimistic-gold2y ago
power supply
absent-sapphire
