I have been experiencing some extremally annoying stuttering every few seconds in some games (war thunder, and kerbal space program). The overall performance should be good, as with disabled vsync I can get way over 100fps, but it still stutters, making gameplay difficult.

As for my setup: It is a laptop with intel i7 processor with NVidia 1050M graphics. I use prime-run to enable discrete graphics.

I have tried the following so far:

• Changing graphics settings in games
• Using different desktop environments (Gnome, xfce with compositing on/off)
• Downgrading kernel from 5.9 to 5.8 and nvidia drivers from 455 to 450 with all combinations
• Moving games from HDD to SSD

I also tried to ad

I am getting constant stutters in WT since the 2.x update - it was perfectly smooth on 1.x (basically - previous dagor engine). It is like it micro-freezes for couple of frames, so even though fps is high, the game feels laggy - makes aiming really difficult.

Currently I use archlinux with latest 455 series nvidia drivers (card is 1050M). I have tried the following:

• Using older kernel versions
• Using older nvidia drivers versions
• Using different desktop environment (XFCE - compositor on/off, Gnome)
• Changing WT graphical settings ranging from ULQ up to medium with many manual tweaks

Sometimes the stutter is more noticable, sometimes less, but it is still there.

I have ruled out so

Hi,

I have just added a new SSD to my laptop alongside the original HDD. I plan to use SSD for system, and HDD for data. I intend to do it following way:

1. copy stuff from / to new disk (boot, etc, opt, root, usr, var)
2. create links and mountpoints (like bin, home, mnt...)
3. replace the entries in fstab (remove old root partition on HDD, add new partition on SSD)
4. set the SSD as bootable
5. reboot

I do not plan to touch the old root partition on HDD in order to have some backup option. At least for now.

Now the question is:

Would it work properly? Or did I miss something?

​

Edit:

I forgot about installing grub - thanks for reminding about it!

System is now moved and

Hi,

I have been using this laptop (MSI PL60 7RD) with Archlinux for 3 years now. It has HDD drive, and I have just installed the new Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 SSD drive in it.

The problem is, that while the laptop should support that SSD, it is not visible anywhere. Even in BIOS (yes, I upgraded it).

Is there any way to diagnose this issue?

Faulty SSD? Incompatible laptop? Incompetent user? ;)

I tried to figure out what steel are Victorinox kitchen knives made from, but all I was able to find, was that list in their product catalog pdf:

• X 38 Cr Mo14
• X 46 Cr13
• X 50 Cr Mo V15
• X 55 Cr Mo 14

But I cannot find info regarding which steel goes to which knifes.

Does anyone know?

Hi,

​

I have dual GPUs on my laptop (nvidia and intel), and I use optirun to run games. I had some issues with the latest 430 version, so I downgraded it to some cached 418 (both nvidia and nvidia-utils). I run mkinitcpio -p linux just in case, but after reboot, the drivers will not load:

$ optirun glxgears

[ 324.715291] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not load GPU driver

​

[ 324.715328] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

I tried using "downgrade" package from AUR to downgrade the nvidia/nvidia-utils to the latest 418 one, but to no avail - I still get the same error.

Did I miss something? Beca

I have encountered that about 3 times that month - due to various errors the statistics did not update. The update timer however - was set to 24h. On the UI side the last update is more than 24h ago, so the "Update statistics" button is visible. Because the timer on the database side is probably not synchronized with it - I get NOT_EXPIRED every time (even though it IS expired and should be updated).

​

I know the developer is busy, so I am not expecting miracles - just leaving this here, and hopefully it can be solved some day.

Hello, I have updated mesa to 18.1 series recently, and War Thunder game crashes on launch since then. This seems to be especially interesting, because there are even some War Thunder specific entries in the /etc/drirc (I tried to change those a bit, like adding "launcher" binary, but it did not help).

I have laptop with Intel and Nvidia 1050 graphics and I am using primusrun to launch the game.

With the Intel graphics, the game starts, but performace is low (obviously).

Has anyone encountered such problems? Anything additional to check?

Hi! I have noticed that planes that were recently added, do not show in stats. I personally have problem with P-40F, but others also seem to be missing.

Can those be added? Anyway we can help?

I have noticed that when you apply two-sided decal with jaws/eyes it is incorrectly rotated on the other side.

I understand that this is done probably in order to not have mirrored text in some decals, but is there any way to apply the forementioned jaws or eyes symetrically? Because applying two separate decals for each side is always a bit off (also - taking two decal slots instead of just one).

Hello,

I have arch set up with GDM and XFCE. Every time I start it up, all my applications that were running last time are launched again, and I do not want that.

Now - I know there are several places that handle this behavior:

• logout popup - checkbox unchecked.

• session in settings - restoring disabled, sessions removed

• files in some hidden folder in home folder (I do not remember which one) - removed too

but nothing helps, my XFCE keeps restoring applications. A bug, some "feature" of GDM, or did I miss something?

Howdy,

I have recently noticed that in low rank AB there are many players that fly the I-15 straight, with no maneuvers whatsoever, getting shot down. At first I thought that they might have left the game running not paying any attention, but then they kept pushing more I-15 into game, once the first one is shot down.

If that would not happen only to I-15, I'd thought that this is some kind of feeding/trolling/AFK. But with only one type of plane... - are they trying to keep the I-15 win/lose ratio lower or what?
