[Solved] All Steam games have low FPS

Hello Archers!
I have recently switched back to Arch a few weeks ago and did not have these issues. However, I did a reinstall due to my own f**kup (it was faster to reinstall) a couple days ago and since then I have had terrible performance with Steam games no matter if I set them to low settings and low resolution or in windowed mode. The only thing I have done different from that install versus this one is I installed KDE instead of Gnome. This issue happens with all games I have and a list of most played are below. I am using the Open ATI driver due to the FGLRX driver not wanting to use both of my monitors at once. Has anyone had this issue before? I am going to look through the Gnome packages and see if there are any graphics related packages that I may try to install.
System:
Core i7-2600k
12GB of RAM
2x AMD Radeon 6950's
256GB Crucial SSD
1TB HDD
2TB HDD
1000W PSU
Games:
Half-Life Series
Dota2
Portal
Bastion
X3 Series

  • [SOLVED] All Steam games are un-installed

    I just logged into steam, it said I hadn't logged in from this computer before, sent me an email with the "Steam Guard Code" and now all my games are grey and need to be installed!
    I checked ~/.local/share/Steam/common/ and the games are still there taking up disk space...
    Has this happened to anyone else? Or am I alone?
    [SOLVED]
    I solved this by installing Osmos and seeing that the game directory is now:
    ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/...
    I just moved the common files and *.acf files over:
    $ pwd
    /home/nak/.local/share/Steam/common
    $ mv ../../common/* .
    $ pwd
    /home/nak/.local/share/Steam
    $ cp *.acf SteamApps/

  • Steam Linux Games have slow FPS

    Any tips on improving FPS? It's rather sad that it's 2013 and I'm still getting fps down to 50 in HL1 mods (with my laptop[1]). I've been playing Day of Defeat for a few days and the low fps is pretty irritating. I don't know how many decades it takes to run a mod from the year 2000 perfectly. I'd like the fps to be constantly 100. The fps is slow for all the games I've tested. The issue exists for native and wine "emulated" Steam. I'm currently sticking with native Steam.
    I'm using 1920x1080 resolution, but other than that all the couple of graphics options are set to low quality. I tried to use a lower resolution but the impact on fps was pretty miniscule. I tried to use the Nvidia card according to the Wiki's instructions with primusrun, but the fps didn't improve noticeably. VSync is off. I'm using the libraries bundled with Steam. My desktop environment is Lxde (which is apparently one of the lightest desktop environment's out there).
    1. My laptop was bought in early 2012:
    Intel® Mobile Core i5 2430M / 3MB L3 Cache, 2.40GHz - 3.00GHz
    Memory: 8 GB - 2 x 4096 MB - DDR3 SDRAM, 1600 MHz
    Graphics: nVIDIA® GeForce® GT555M 2GB
    Hard drive: 120 GB SATA Solid State Drive

    this should rock ... i have a core2 with a GF9800GT, 4G ram and have stable 60fps at 1280x1024 (yes, net_graph shows that), everything full (with vsync of course, above 60fps, you just waste the power) in games like portal, counter-strike: source, etc., so both valve and source engines.
    You can narrow down the issue with:
    1. try without any sound
    2. try a different window manager too (if possible something lightweight), to rule out a faulty setting.
    3. i'm out of date with the new i5 CPUs, but acording to ark.intel.com the CPU has an integrated Intel® HD Graphics 3000, if so, are you sure you are running the games on the nvidia card and not on the integrated intel?) - you can make a simple test, use a software render setting in any valve (half-life 1) engine at 640x480 or 800x600, the cpu should run that fluently, and compare that to OpenGL setting inside the game.
    I'm using LXDE which uses Openbox, that should be light enough. I'm sure that I'm using the Nvidia card, because the game doesn't start if I don't manually start bumblebee service (which incidentally is another unsolved bug). I might try disabling sound if I have the time..

  • [SOLVED] Wine Counter Strike Source (Low FPS)

    So for the past week I've been trying to find a working version of Wine to run CSS. I've tried all the versions in AUR (except bin32-wine-war) and those from arch-games and archlinux.fr. But no matter what my settings, I can never get CSS above 12 FPS.
    My setup:
    Arch x86_64 (fully up-to-date)
    AMD64 3500+ 2.2GHz
    nVidia 7800GT (nvidia 177.82-1 driver)
    2GB RAM
    What I've tried:
    1. Wine versions:
        - 1.1.2 (compiled myself)
        - 1.1.7 (arch-games and archlinuxfr)
        - 1.1.9 (AUR, bin32-wine and bin32-wine-suse)
    2. Running CSS as dxlevel 90,80,81 and 70. (no difference)
    3. CSS settings:
        -rate 25000
        -cl_updaterate 101
        -cl_cmdrate 60
        -Tried to set the video settings even lower in the CSS settings dialog, but when I hit apply it crashes.
         (^ spews out some error regarding Unhandled exception: page fault on read access)
    4. OpenGL image settings to high performance in nvidia-settings.
    5. winecfg:
         Graphics
        -Allow DirectX apps to stop the mouse leaving their window (on)
        -Allow window manager to decorate the windows (on)
        -Allow the window manager to control the windows (on)
        -Vertex Shader Support (Hardware)
        -Allow Pixel Shader (off - turned on it completely scrambles CSS...yet another issue)
         Audio
        -All Sound Drivers unchecked
        -Hardware Acceleration (Emulation)
        -Sample Rate (44100)
        -Bits (16)
        -Driver Emulation (on)
         Applications
        -Added entry for "hl2.exe" set to Win98.
    I'm running CSS in windowed mode using this command:
    env WINEPREFIX="/home/matt/.wine" WINEDEBUG="-all" nice -n -8 wine "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 240 -gl -nojoy -console -dxlevel 70 -sw -w 1024 -h 768 -novid -heapsize 512000 "$@"
    or (makes no difference)
    env WINEPREFIX="/home/matt/.wine" WINEDEBUG="-all" wine "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 240 -console -dxlevel 70 -sw -w 1024 -h 768 -novid "$@"
    Before I switched to Arch from Ubuntu Hardy everything was working fine under Wine 0.9.58. However when I tried to compile that version I was given a couple errors and decided to move up to 1.1.2 instead. Has anyone got some advice on maybe a missing library, some setting, tweak or patch that can fix this issue? I'm completely baffled...

    Yea, I've turned it on and off for each version I tried. Forgot to add that. If I fail to find some type of answer this time, I think I'll just download the latest version Ubuntu Intrepid employs and use their patches. Maybe that'll fix it.
    EDIT: Ha, I fixed it. I had lib32-libgl instead of lib32-nvidia-utils... Now I'm getting like 150 FPS on the stress test!
    Found the answer here randomly: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=45029

  • The videos have low fps and become TOO choppy.

    Not be to do, this is irritating. Whenever I want to see a video on youtube or any other page, the video looks AWFUL in good quality. I always see the statistics and fps are too low. I have already tried to remove the acceleration hardware, but does not work, and instead, as my video card is on the blacklist, acceleration is not activated and that is causing me problems. I would like to know how to improve the amount of fps. I don't want to, at least temporarily, buying a video card.

    Video decoding and rendering are very CPU intensive.  The GPU is purpose-built for this task and frees up the processor for other stuff.  In your instance, we're not able to leverage the hardware on your system, so everything is getting done on the CPU, and it's not able to process and render the stream fast enough for the video to be watchable.
    You can view all the videos in the lowest available quality (this reduces the number of pixels that need to be processed), or if you're running other programs in addition to the browser, you can close those to minimize the number of CPU cycles being consumed by other things.
    Aside from that, there's really not a lot you can do.  If cost is a factor, you might want to look around for a compatible video card that's 2-3 years old (like one of the name-brand nVidia/ATI cards) on eBay.  I buy a lot of old hardware for testing, and I see stuff in the $10-50 range all the time.

  • [Solved]All wireless networks have stopped working

    Connecting to wireless networks that i have previously connected to times out, both with network manager, and iwconfig.
    I have tried on two networks i have previously connected to and both time out.
    What is interesting is that i am able to connect if i set a static ip, but i cannot reach any addresses, not even 192.168.1.1

    Alad, I have noticed only one similar error:
    ERROR: ld.so: object 'libdlfaker.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored
    You probably want to start a 32-bit application with bumblebee on a 64-bit system. See the "Note" box in Installation.
    but I have all needed lib32.
    Or am I wrong?

  • Low-FPS on Retina-display

    Hi
    I have swf-app with sizes 960x480. And test it on Iphone 3gs and Iphone 4. If i build app with requestedDisplayResolution=high, i have low fps on Iphone 4, but the 3gs shows good results. I have bitmaps about 300x300 sizes (and less) on stage.
    Also I use stageQuality=BEST, because I need a smooth movement of fractional coordinates
    how you use requestedDisplayResolution and what fps you see?
    Thx
    P.S.
    Tested on air 3.1, 3.0 and 2.7
    <fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
    <renderMode>gpu</renderMode>

    Are you using exactly the same assets on both the iPhone 4 and 3GS, because if so it makes no sense that it'd run better on the 3GS. I'd say that using stageQuality=BEST is probably the cause of your problems, the default setting is MEDIUM for a reason.

  • How come all the games has no sound on IPad 2

    I recently bought the IPad 2, download some games, but all the games have no sound.  The other application like YouTube, Safari sound is fine.  Does anyone know why?

    Just to clarify, the switch is not necessarily 'on the top right'.  It depends how you hold your iPad. Mine is on the bottom edge on the right as I always hold mine in landscape orientation with the home button on the left.
    Also, it's note a mute switch.  With the switch on, you will still hear sound from movies, music, etc.  The switch only mutes system sounds and notifications, and most app and game sounds.

  • [SOLVED] Assaultcube low FPS

    All other games are running fine on my nVidia GT520 I've bought for very cheap (actually the cheapest card I liked)
    Assaultcube runs fine on 1024 * 768, but when I set the resolution to native (1440*900) FPS starts dropping to 19 FPS.... why? If I lower the resolution I get better FPS. I've never had such problems on my Radeon HD 3650 card ...

    Solved by enabling FSAA in nVidia settings. I dont get any tearing and it runs at 30+ FPS so its ok

  • MSI GT70 2PE Low FPS in game

    Hi all,
    I just bought a MSI GT70 2PE without OS and installed Windows 8.1 and all drivers downloadable on msi.com.
    I'm getting an ultra low FPS in World of Warcraft , a ten years old game !!!!
    Watch my joined screenshot. Do i have miss something ? Is it really possible to buy a recent notebook with such bad gaming results ??

    Yup that is what I needed, now I know your laptops specs. Seems it runs a GTX 880M which should really have no issues at all running games like world of warcraft. Right, first of all, Did you install all the Chipset drivers and so on from the MSI website and are you using the latest Nvidia Drivers?
    As HCH mentioned, make sure you are running the game on the dedicated graphics card. You can check this easily as the power button will be orange if it is using the Nvidia GPU and White if it is using the Intel Intergrated graphics.
    Also, make sure you are connected to net power when gaming.

  • Gx 60 3cc low fps in multiple games in minimum graphics settings

    Well here i am again, i wonder why my laptop (gx 60 3cc with apu a10, 16 gb ram gskill ripjaw , ssd 128 gb, r9 m290x 2 gb, ram and ssd were added) shows low fps in games like cod4, battlefield 3 and 4?? i mean cod4 45 -150 fps, bf3 20 - 70 fps, bf4 20 - 50 fps, all games with minimum graphics settings.

    Is there a chance all those games are using the APU instead of the discreet graphics card? You have to set it up so that games run on your discrete gpu. I'm an nvidia guy, so I don't know exactly how that's done on an AMD based system.

  • Sudden jitter and fps drops in all 3D games

    Hello! So I'm running Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro (13 inch, mid-2012 model) with Intel HD 4000 graphics.
    Lately, I been experiencing sudden jittering in my games, particularly 3D-games-strangely, games like Bastion run just fine. The fps keeps going up and then quickly back down, ranging from 20 to all the way down to 12 or so. This is peculiar, because not long ago I was able to run games like Aion in medium to high settings, The Sims 3 in high settings, and Skyrim in low settings no problem, with no jitteriness whatsoever. The games seem to run smooth for about one minute before the fps drop occurs, with all affected games following the same pattern of fps drops-it goes from normal speed to a fast jitter, then normal speed again and repeats the cycle. It does not return to its normal fps, just keeps jumping back and forth. I have noticed that when this happens, the laptop heats up considerably and the fans spin a lot faster-this did not happen before with any of my games, so I do wonder if the best and only solution is to open up the macbook and see if the problem is internal or if there is anything else I can do. I've tried resetting the SMC to no avail-nothing seems to work. I've even re-installed Windows 7 and all of my games-nothing is working. At first I thought the problem was only exclusive to Skyrim until I opened up Aion (which I played a few days ago with no issues) and was greeted with the same drastic jumps of fps. If anyone can help me out with this and maybe offer a few suggestions, I'd love to hear them, because I'm stumped.

    Spoke too soon-the problem is back again. It played nicely for about half an hour this time before it started lagging once more, both in Skyrim and Aion. Bastion is still fine, however.

  • I am not able to hear any sounds of games on the speaker. Though the sounds function on the head fones. The speaker works perfect in other applications except games.Have checked all the settings but not able to fix it.

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound. Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and its the icon; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If that doesn't solve it then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • [SOLVED] Download speed is slow while playing certain Steam games

    This is a weird one: When playing Steam games my download speed (everywhere) drops to a fraction of what it should be (roughly 1/10th). My upload speed is unaffected.
    I don't know how long this has been the case but I think it's fairly recent since when playing games I often tab out and do stuff on the net. I would've noticed.
    This doesn't happen with Portal 2, Civ V, Guacamelee or Xcom but does happen with Rochard, Steamworks Dig, Gateways (2d puzzle platformer) and Awesomenauts. I was looking for a pattern but I fail to see one.
    To be clear about the problem: If I start one of those games and tab out my download speed is 1/10th what it should be. If I exit the game my download speed returns to normal instantly.
    I've checked for obvious stuff like Steam downloading in the background (it's not and nor is anything else - no unusual network activity at all). I've checked for mere coincidence - signal dropping/interference and so on and that seems not to be it either. It's also far too consistent and, as I say, upload is unaffected for some reason.
    I don't even know what info to give with this one or how to begin tracking it down so any advice will be received gratefully.
    I'm running Arch 64bit, all up to date.

    Ok, well, I *think* I've sort of solved it:
    I went through various wifi channels and found that the degree to which my download speed was reduced varied depending on the wifi channel I was on. So I left a game running and watched the download speed and the speed of my CPU and GPU as they clocked up/down and it seems that one of them is managing to interfere with the wifi signal. Or at least that's my best guess. High wifi channel numbers seem to be affected least (significantly so) so ... yeah.
    I don't know if this makes sense technically (and no idea how I've never encountered it before) but... that's my guess.
