Hi all, I have recently installed Bazzite, after previously being on Nobara.

I have been playing Dave the Diver and DOOM (2016), both through Steam, and I get pretty serious input lag. A second or more delay at times, generally when FPS is struggling.

I’m running on a laptop with integrated graphics, so the struggling integrated GPU is not a surprise, but I didn’t have this input lag issue with the same games on Nobara.

Any tips on a setting or something to help this?

I have lowered graphics settings to help with FPS, but ultimately I am not going to be able to avoid occasional FPS dips. The mouse input is instant, it’s just an issue with the keyboard.

Any help appreciated!

Edit with solution: it seems the problem is IBus, see this comment: https://lemmy.nz/post/23401044/15684126

Basically the solution is to add IBUS_ENABLE_SYNC_MODE=2 to /etc/environment and restart.

    Are you using the handheld/deck image? If so, see if you can replicate the issue in desktop mode as it might be a game mode specific issue. I’d also test a different keyboard and gamepad, if you have easy access to those.

      No, it’s the desktop edition. It’s a laptop, but I have a wireless keyboard that I plugged in and tried. It didn’t help, same thing.

      One thing I noticed is that it appears to happen only when holding down a key. So for example, if I tap left then tap right, the character reacts instantly. But if I hold down left and the character is going left, then I switch to pressing right instead, it can take over a second to react. Like it’s not able to process the key presses as fast as they are being generated.
