[SOLVED] After 45 minutes to 1 hour playing, some games lag like a slideshow when I move the camera. It only fixes when I close the game and open it again.

Just for testing purposes. To show that the stutter isn’t because of my hardware not being able to run the game at the current settings.

Like OP said, after an ~hour of gameplay, every game starts to stutter for me. Ive had this issue on Divinity Original Sin2, Marvel Rivals, Space Marine2, Cyberpunk, Elden Ring and probably other games i can’t remember. It’s probably a nvidia driver issue or some nvidia config issue.

Edit1: I don’t think it’s a memory leak issue since (correct me if im wrong) those are usually related to issues with the game engine, but we’re seeing this issue across multiple games with different engines. One more thing to note is that im using the flatpak version of Steam. I’ve been considering switching to the regular version of Steam to see if this solves the issue.

Well that does in fact sound like a memory leak issue to me.

Did you try another distro? How do your games run in Windows?
