fps drops and stutters in FFXIV
I'm on bazzite-nvidia testing currently. I've been experiencing lot of stutters and fps drops in the last few days in Final Fantasy XIV, using the xivlauncher flatpak. I didn't have this issue before, only been happening recently.
When I rebased to older image bazzite-nvidia:39-20240119, I don't have any frequent stutters on that.
Has anyone else experienced the same issues as well?

thanks, i think that's what caused the issue.
I ran
tuned-adm list in my terminal to get a list of power profiles, and the current active one was "balanced"
then i ran tuned-adm profile throughput-performance to switch to "throughput-performance" profile and the game now has very few to no stutters inside an instance...6 Replies
What image are you running right now?
A change just went in for GPU acceleration on that flatpak, but I'm not sure if it is deployed to images yet. You can check if it is turned on using flatseal.

i am currently on 39-testing-20240129:39-testing , it should be 20240129.
i saw the permission for gpu acceleraton was turned on in flatseal in this image.
but i'm still having the stuttering issues, with and without the gpu acceleration toggle.
whereas the older 20240119 image doesnt have the accel toggled on and it ran smoother. the game was running pretty ok before, it just started stuttering only in these past couple of days. so i'm wondering if there was some change recently that caused it or if it's only me who's facing the issue
on bazzite-nvidia:39-20240124 , the game runs fine, but from bazzite-nvidia:39-20240125 , i get the stutter and fps drops issues
I think that's around when TuneD hit main, could maybe have something to do with your power profiles?
