[FIXED] The performance of Helldivers 2 on Linux (lemmy.wtf)

Edit:

It seems that there's something wrong with the power profiles on the Framework 16. If the power profile is either "Balanced" or "Performance" it runs like shit, but if I put it in "Power Save" mode, the game runs just fine... I think it might have something to do with the USB-C charger for the Framework 16 not providing enough power??

Greetings Helldivers!

I recently acquired a Framework 16 with the AMD RX 7700S, coming from an Asus Strix laptop with an 3070 ti.

AFAIK those two GPU's should be fairly similar, with the 3070 ti pulling ahead a little. However, the performance on the 7700S is abysmal IMHO in Helldivers 2.

I realise that Helldivers 2 is notorious for being badly optimised, but with the 7700S I'm literally under 20 FPS most of the time. This is with the absolut lowest settings in the game.

With the 3070 ti, I saw a solid 45+ FPS.

I'm rocking CachyOS with:

kernel version 6.16.5-2-cachyos
KDE Plasma 6.4.4
Wayland
64GB RAM
Proton-cachyOS

Steam launch options: mangohud game-performance %command%

Any ideas? I'm tempted to try it out on Windows as well, to see if the performance is just utter crap with the 7700S or if Helldivers 2 simply doesn't play well with AMD GPU on Linux.

That should be right, then, the other is amdvlk. I'm on Endeavour.

I'm running 3440x1440, mediumish settings. No launch options. I'm not at my PC do can't get you any specifics.

But there's no setting that makes it run like complete ass for me, except maxing it out.

I was just testing the game out and it was actually running with 50+ FPS, but then suddenly after about 20 minutes, the FPS dropped to around ~20 FPS...

In LACT I can see it's just radically changing between the VRAM power states, instead using the highest power state, which it did when the game ran fine.

It says there's no throttling and the GPU temp are the same... wtf

Restarting the game doesn't change anything.
