Long System Hitching during Game

Recently, when I'm playing Warframe, over time if I alt tab my pc will slowly start to hitch between tabs. It'll eventually get to a point where the whole system will suddenly hitch for minutes at a time (5 or more) and eventually return. No clue why this is happening as it was never a problem before.

your IPv6 address is in your hostname. i would delete this image and reboot so you get a new ip. also give your PC a proper hostname hostnamectl set-hostname <whateveryawannacallit>

yeah ipv6 is not the end of the world as that renews very quickly all the time but still better safe than sorry

the only things you could try is: try wine-wayland mode try different proton versions

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command% is the way to enable wayland mode in steam CLI (with GE proton)

I'll give that a shot and see if it helps Looks like enabling Wayland did fix it thank you so much
