View Full Version : [Linux] Rubberbanding-like FPS

Compared to Windows, I get very uneven FPS - a bit similar to when I disable Exclusive Mode in Windows, except worse.
Anyone else having the same issues, or a possible fix? This is my setup:

Arch Linux x86_64
AMD Radeon HD 6970
i7 920 @ 3.8GHz
6GB RAM
1920x1080

It works fine in Windows. I had the same issues back when I used to have my 8800GT, but in the earlier days of HoN (mostly pre-retail) I don't remember experiencing any rubberbanding.

The one-liner from the wiki:


$ glxinfo | grep -i "opengl\|direct\|server\|client" && lspci | grep -i vga && uname -a

The card doesn't "officially" work with Linux yet since AMD hasn't released updated drivers for it yet, but as mentioned, my 8800GT had the exact same issue.

No longer having this issue.
New CPU and motherboard, but same install. Either that fixed it or the new patch improved responsiveness a lot.
