TRICK FOR CINNAMON
On Cinnamon, I'm getting stutterings every since and there (1s-5s) making aiming a pain. Disabling the compositor and all my extensions didn't lead to any improvements, I only found this as a workaround:
- Launch the game first
- When it is launched, kill Cinnamon using
pkill -f "cinnamon --replace" --signal 9 - It will prompt you to try to restart in safemode --> click NO
- Enjoy your gaming session without any stuttering and butter smooth performances!
- When you are done playing, restart cinnamon with CTRL-ALT-ESC, if prompted, reload the "Notifications Area", then click Yes to restart Cinnamon once again and you are done!
