Symptoms

My cursor doesn't align with the interface after lowering my in-game resolution from my native 4K resolution. Under my native resolution the cursor aligns with the light gray highlighted "2560 X 1440 (60)*" resolution option.

After I changed my monitor resolution to "1920 x 1080 (60)" I had to move my cursor to the left and up in order to highlight the "2880 x 1620 (60)" resolution option.

Reproduction

In-game go to the lower right, select Menu, go to Options, and then go to Video. Then while using fullscreen display mode lower your resolution from your native resolution and apply the new settings.

I have a problem with game not registering input from mouse. From keyboard only ESC key works - nothing else. Tried Proton 8.0-3, Experimental and Hotfix - all the same behaviour. Sometimes it works though and I have no idea why.

Performance is way lower than on Windows - on Linux I'm geting only around 80-90 fps on 6800 xt.

Performance is pretty good for me. I'm at around 144 fps at 1440p with FSR 2.2 and it looks great. (3060ti, 3700x)

Only issues for me:

• Game can flicker the alt+tabbing or in the gnome activity view
• Cursor sometimes not displaying but still being able to select items (usually fixed by going into esc menu and back out)
• Random FPS lag down to ~70 FPS for like 1 second (very rarely happens)
• Voice chat didn't work for me but started working with the latest Proton GE
• Unable to export highlights or POTGs as video files (even with proton GE)
  • Finished when exporting as webm format but resulted in a corrupted file that can't be played

idk why this hasnt been reported yet but using either proton experimental (bleeding edge) or proton 8.0-4 the fps is stuck at 40fps but with proton-ge-8-16 the fps is fine

as you can see here the fps is good here with proton-ge
running fedora 39 beta with kde plasma with mesa 23.2.1

Don't have input problem anymore, but performance is still below expectations with stock proton (only about 90-100 fps on 6800xt radv 23.2.1).

Has anyone managed to get valid .webm saved highlights?

I can see the CPU doing work while the video is encoded, but the resulting files are only ~770KiB. They won't play in any player, and mediainfo says they are only 1ms long.

@foresto it used to work, but I also tried recently and also got 770 kb broken file

Performance is within expectations on proton-ge 23 (maybe it worked in earlier versions - didn't test), so that's what I'm using now. I have no more problems.

The mouse sens via proton is way off from windows. It's sad that valve doesn't invest in input consistency of games played via proton. Vanilla proton doesn't even support raw imput, my KDE mouse sens impacts in-game sens, which is not right. Proton GE fixes that, but the sens is still off from that on windows.

X11 or wayland?

If you try x11 its way better

On kde plasma 6 dev they changed how it works under wayland and its a lot better aswell

Well, in my opinion games like Overwatch 2 and Apex Legends that support raw mouse input should behave the same everywhere no matter what OS or DE you use. The only way it to be better is to be 1:1 compared to windows with no interference from the system settings. And input inconsistency won't attract FPS enthusiasts to Linux.

Yes i agree, i play competitive fps games and i am masters in apex, masters on overwatch

Whenever i want the closest mouse input i use x11 or now im using kde plasma 6 wayland, i can easily keep up with my friends who are gm in overwatch and i got a 4k badge today on the new mouse input under plasma 6 wayland on apex. i guess i prefer mouse input on x11 or kdes new approach for mouse input on wayland under plasma 6
