Symptoms

The issue this game has are as follows.

  1. Graphical artifacts on Proton 11.0 or newer. (fixed in bleeding edge as of 10/09/2026)
  2. Frequent stuttering.
  3. When making fine mouse movements the cursor likes to move to the top left of the primary display.

Reproduction

Graphical artifacts on Proton 11.0 or newer. (fixed in bleeding edge as of 10/09/2026)

  1. Load up the mission "Birds of prey"
  2. Play to the point when you first get out of the helicopter

Reverting back to Proton 9.0-4 fixes this issue.

Frequent stuttering

This is self explanatory.

When making fine mouse movements the cursor likes to move to the top left of the primary display

  1. Be either in the menu or ingame and jiggle the mouse left and right rapidly.
  2. Observe the mouse slowly migrate up and to the left.

This is potentially an XWayland issue as forcing the Wine-Wayland driver in a Proton version such as CachyOS Proton fixes this issue.
Note: This is not the only game to be effected by this issue. call of duty games using the IW engine from Cod 1 - MW Remaster are affected.

@PotatoAndSickle Thank you for the report.
The graphical issue should be gone now on Proton Bleeding Edge. It will trickle down to other 11 based builds as they pull in this update with time.

@Blisto91 Thanks for the quick fix

Any hope or suggestions with fixing the stuttering? I can't upload videos showing frametimes/hitches/etc on github are we allow to upload videos to youtube and post the link here?

BBlisto91 2026-09-10 github

I haven't personally looked at that no. And yes you can link to external videos.

@Blisto91 Better late then never but, here's the video: https://youtu.be/cX3_Z8FqFbA

This is a fresh launch of the game to show case the issue under the worst circumstance. Stuttering improves a bit after about an hour, however its still present.

Testing other Call Of Duty games doesn't have this level of stuttering.

Kinda looks like shader compilation. At least some of it.
Could you record a video with DXVK_HUD=full instead of mangohud?
