I'm having an issue where I'm unable to play games in bazzite-gnome-nvidia using mouse and keyboard

I'm having an issue where I'm unable to play games in bazzite-gnome-nvidia using mouse and keyboard because the keyboard input gets delayed. I've noticed this in Helldivers 2, Rocket League, and Doom. Mouse input and controller input appear unaffected. I have tried a few different keyboards, and I haven't noticed this behavior anywhere else in the operating system, only in games. I made two videos demonstrating this where I hit a lot of keys to demonstrate. But it sometimes happens with much much less busy key input. It's as if for a while new key input is unable to be made while the old inputs are still being played out.

I googled similar issues and searched the discord. I made sure Sticky Keys and other Assistance features were not turned out, and activating them via the keyboard is also disabled.

desktop or gamescope?

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:08 AM

I have moved where the keyboard is plugged into (different ports/etc).

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:08 AM

Desktop

asen23•7/5/24, 3:09 AM

can you reproduce with windowed games?

asen23•7/5/24, 3:09 AM

or only fullscreen

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:09 AM

Multiple mice seem unaffected, and I can't replicated any similar behavior at all with a lot more gamepad (xbox elite V2) inputs, they all seem to go perfectly live with no delay.

Aasen23 can you reproduce with windowed games?

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:09 AM

Investigating.

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:09 AM

Do you think putting Rocket League into a windowed mode would be sufficient to test that?

asen23•7/5/24, 3:10 AM

maybe? also try different game also if possible

asen23•7/5/24, 3:10 AM

btw are you using wayland or x11?

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:10 AM

I've observed on 3 diff games. Wayland.

asen23•7/5/24, 3:11 AM

try x11 also

asen23•7/5/24, 3:12 AM

btw is all the affected game using proton?

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:12 AM

I'm unsure how to check if it's using proton. Ideas?

Pez•7/5/24, 3:12 AM

all of those games are using proton

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:15 AM

Issue is present in windowed mode, still wayland. Logging out to test x11.

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:19 AM

The issue appears to be present in x11 as well.

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:20 AM

I will keep troubleshooting and trying to eliminated variables. I have only edk2-ovmf qemu ulauncher virt-manager layered. I don't suspect those are the problem, but I can rpm-ostree reset just in case for troubleshooting.

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:23 AM

To note: Alt-Tabbing immediately halts all those inputs in the game. They do not carry over into the desktop (like into a text-editing app) nor when the game is Alt-Tab'd back into. I can queue up like 10 seconds of keypresses that would play and Alt-Tab out and back in a quarter of a second, and all that input is gone.

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:24 AM

It appears (tho I'm no expert) to be unrelated to queued hardware inputs that haven't made it through the USB bus or something like that. Again, no similar behavior whatsoever in regular desktop activities that I've been able to observe.

Observed behavior in Rocket League which uses Steam Tinker Launcher and then GE-Proton-9-1. Helldivers 2 is using GE-Proton9-1 (no Steam Tinker Launcher) and Doom Eternal has no compatibility tool selected in Steam.

Kyle Gospo•7/5/24, 3:32 AM

@Wheeler not a GNOME or Wayland issue. I can't reproduce it.

Kyle Gospo•7/5/24, 3:32 AM

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:33 AM

Looks good on your end.

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:33 AM

Maybe something unique to my setup that's exacerbating it? Any idea why it might happen in game but not outside of a game?

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:33 AM

Helldivers 2 can be quite demanding on the CPU and GPU from what I can tell, whereas Rocket League most certainly is not.

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:33 AM

Doesn't seem to be load-based.

Pez•7/5/24, 3:36 AM

are you running VMs on top of this

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:36 AM

Nothing at the moment, no. I have one VM that I used a few weeks ago, but is not active.

Pez•7/5/24, 3:37 AM

Pez•7/5/24, 3:37 AM

this is strange

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:37 AM

This is a fresh boot with nothing significant happening on the system. Yeah I don't get it.

I tried to install Bazzite today and while I'm great with Windows, I'm not too knowledgeable with Linux. I've downloaded the image 3 times using two different browsers, flashed it on 3 separate external USB devices, installed it 5 times total now, pretty much nothing works properly on Steam Deck OLED. I've done seemingly everything right, downloaded the correct image as far as I know, flashed in simple graphics mode, connected it to the internet during setup, updated everything and logged into steam before rebooting, but have been running into major issues such as infinite black screens on startup, infinite black screens when switching between desktop or game mode, infinite "verifying installation" going into game mode, game mode interface completely locking up at random, among other issues that make the system completely unusuable. Some features that Bazzite is advertised to have also don't work such as mura compensation, despite being able to see it in the settings. Are these known issues? I've tried searching the GitHub issues but haven't found anything that matches what I'm experiencing. I also want to mention that the MD5 given from the website for the ISO does NOT match the ISO that is downloaded. Is it possible the site is providing a bad ISO?

Kyle Gospo•7/5/24, 3:39 AM

I would not call any of that expected or normal behavior

Kyle Gospo•7/5/24, 3:39 AM

We just certified the OLED as perfectly functional outside of some installer jank

Kyle Gospo•7/5/24, 3:39 AM

I've been gaming on mine for months

Another new guy on linux here. On the display resolution section why does it say (as 1920 x 1080) ?
My monitor is 4k and seems to me it’s running at native resolution.

asen23•7/5/24, 3:42 AM

try checking the setting if it actually 4k

Alkumist•7/5/24, 3:42 AM

quick question, during set up in the bazzite new set up Gnome wants to inhibit shortcuts... is that a good thing?

jcnix•7/5/24, 3:45 AM

I think you have scaling on

hypnodick•7/5/24, 3:45 AM

I don't know if I'm doing this wrong, but this is what the ISOs looked like compared to the checksum file

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:46 AM

I could be wrong, but the checksum file usually has the checksum inside it in text form.

WheelerOP•7/5/24, 3:47 AM

You would compare the checksum of the ISO with the text checksum in the file.

asen23•7/5/24, 3:47 AM

about to say that

Aasen23 try checking the setting if it actually 4k

FardinHaque•7/5/24, 3:47 AM

Just checked the nvidia app and it says its 4k there.
