The pixelation during game play is most likely caused by me re-rendering my upload on KZitem to fix a problem I missed. It was easier to let KZitem fix it and do the re-render, since I'd already uploaded it. Also, I have a Radeon RX580 graphics card. I hear myself saying "RX480" at least once. Thanks for watching!

you spared me a ton of trouble by making this video. I was about to go through all this mess and not know the amount of pain I would be in. It's bad enough I can't get 250MB to update, which is weird. I have all my games on NTFS.

This is the same issue I had when I switched to Mint, ended up just reformatting my drive and getting rid of NTFS altogether. Luckily I noticed it after I had installed a few smaller games and not a really big one like Witcher.

This game ran without any problem on my 3700X and 5700 XT on Arch with a FPS of at least around 90 in the same opening, though back then with some initial stutter due to asset-loading but that fully disappeared within 1 minute of playing. Yes, frequent updates is a thing on Steam on Linux and I am in favor of it but it would be nice if Valve would introduce the option to have it update on the background so that you just open Steam while you do something else and can immediately game when you want to. Valve could let the user select which installed games he wants to kept updated as soon as an update is available and not apply it only once the user clicks on the play button. In regard to how to make the game playable. Obviously you should use the mesa-drivers, do not use other drivers to game with AMD. If the game is old and the game uses OpenGL on Linux native then you almost always will get a better result with Vulkan. The biggest mistake which players make in my experience: they use the amdvlk Vulkan-loader instead of using the radv Vulkan loader. The first one is the official AMD-one, the second one is the community one. Sadly amdvlk is kind of broken, but you do need it for some games. When more than one Vulkan loader is available then Steam will automatically select amdvlk. I will install TW3 again and I will let know how it wors at this moment when I start a new game. One more thing, you should install MangoHud to measure performance. It is an easy install and configuration, look on the GitHub-page from FlightlessMango.

@@FastGadgets I have got one more advice: use wayland. For some games it can make or break the game. With Mass Effect Legendary Edition I had some problems with the performance due to the game not being optimized. Just by moving from X11 to wayland I got a performance boost from 50-60 FPS to 130-140 FPS and less stutter. It might be that wayland handles it better than X11, it might be that picom gets in the way. Not sure. But I always start up sway to game and I use dwm for other tasks. Of course you using Fedora you can just enable wayland in the desktop-environment and it will work fine. Be warned that MangoHud does not work for all games (it struggles with some Linux native games like Hollow Knight and (Rise of the) Tomb Raider but it does work for most games. You can start mangohud in Steam with mangohud %command% and you have to copy a configure-file, the manpage will inform you about this.

You should NEVER enable VSync, period. However, VSnc is intended for gamers who don't have a FreeSync (or G-Sync) monitor. One of the big problems with VSync is that it has to go to the refresh rate of the monitor or half of it or a quarter of it, otherwise it can't sync. So if you can't get to 60 then it drops to 30. In many game you would go to 60 most of the time but get sudden drops to 30 which makes the game unplayable. What does VSync do? It only outputs a frame once the frame has been completely drawn and not earlier. What is the difference with FreeSync? With FreeSync the monitor itself can almost immediately output the frame once it is done (up to 1/RR with RR = refresh rate) because those monitors are not bou8nd to set moments, with VSync the monitor only outputs frames at set moments (typically 60 times a second) so you have to wait longer if you enable VSync and the frame is not ready right before the next time that the monitor outputs a frame. Other than that, you should never run a game at ultra settings, with high to very high settings you won't see the graphical difference while playing. If you enable Hairworks then your performance tanks given that this is proprietary code from NVidia which was developed for NVidia-cards. On Windows you can't play this game with ultra settings and over 60 FPS all the time on a RX580 either, that graphics card just is too weak to do that. Yes, do not use a NTFS-partition to install any software on on Linux.

Thank you, very detailed response! I really can't see any difference with Hairworks on or off, so to me it's a gimmick. It may be due to my old eyes, but defintely will leave it at vsync off on games from now on.

Generally speaking, I use Vsync on my computer for most games because they're not super demanding (for a 1060 SC 6GB, anyway) and I can lower the settings to a reasonable value to make sure it stays above 60 unless it's Minecraft, because I don't really have tearing issues with it and I can crank up OptiFine pretty far (it's also slightly more CPU-reliant of a game too I think if I remember correctly). Other than that, buying a new monitor with Free/Gsync when my current one works just fine at 60 Hz isn't a priority. For more-demanding games though, Vsync is definitely a bad idea depending on the hardware. I remember having to leave it off I think when playing New Super Mario Bros. Wii on my old laptop back in 2013 (Phenom II, need I say more?).

@@DrewTNaylor I am incredibly sensitive to inputlag so I couldn't deal with VSync when I still had a regular monitor (1080p, 60 Hz and no FreeSync). I even quit playing one game because VSync was not an option for me but the tearing drove me nuts too. Given that I use a FreeSync monitor now (2560x1440, 144 Hz) I don't have tearing without VSync and the added inputlag (maximally roughly 1/FPS) is negligible.

@@FastGadgets My last reply here got censored/removed by KZitem! Please look in the spam-box, it probably is there. I explained that Hairworks indeed is a gimmick and that NVidia has a history of shady business. Look up the PhysX X87 article from David Kanter. Hairworks was pushed by NVidia to abuse its higher tesselation processing power, something that AMD implemented first and NVidia copied and then abused. I know from a professional game-developer-consultant that Hairworks was rendered on the subpixel-level.

If you use Wayland you have vsync forced on no matter what you pick in the game, also it isn't the vsync that is stuck t 30 or 60, it's more variable. Wayland will also automatically enable Freesync/VRR if you have a display-port monitor with the feature, does not work with HDMI however, no settings. But yeah leave vsync off in games, it will either make no difference or it will force extra buffering which is bad. Sure you get slightly higher frame times, but you also don't have half a frame drawn on screen, swings and roundabouts.

Yup, I found out I had the same problem a while ago. Main home SSD is on ext4 and backup HDD has NTFS. Switching file location to SSD fixes some games. Not a 100% solution since some games won't start regardless - do you have some advice or a video already made for such cases?

It... kinda does. I watched this video's first half, and I just did one thing. I tested the "games run on ext4, not nfts" thing with "Refind Self". I moved my game from my HDD to my KDE Neon SSD and I'm running it right now with no issues whatsoever. And have on mind this game is Windows only apparently. I will try it with KOTOR next and see if this works. If it does... then I downloaded Lutris and Bottles for nothing 😂
