Symptoms

Game starts to stutter after some time is spent in it (past 45 minute / 1 hour mark).

Reproduction

  1. Launch Lords of Solgrund with Proton 9.0.3,
  2. Choose Single Player -> Campaign -> Begin the first mission,
  3. Play, the mission is long enough to trigger stuttering later on.

I've noticed the issue is easier to reproduce if immediately after Step 2, ESC -> Restart mission is chosen, and then proceeding with Step 3.

Update 16 December 2024: Upon additional research, it seems that Linux kernel 6.11 introduced an issue with NVIDIA drivers in every game, where the stuttering happens around the 1-hour mark of gameplay. It seems that some functions have been changed, which work fine on 6.10.10, yet afterwards they are not recognised by the NVIDIA driver attempting to make the calls, and thus failing. The FPS itself is unaffected, and displays as normal, despite the stutter.
