Symptoms

After some minutes of playing stutters appear, the game runs great but stops briefly for a second and then keeps going, in some matches it's easy to have this behavior constantly, stutters every few 10 or 15 seconds. The in-game icon alerts on the top right of the screen indicates with an icon if the framerate is below the server's, and after each stutter it's displayed for a second, acknowledging that the game run below the server hz

Reproduction

Just play the game for some minutes, around 10 or 15 and this issue will appear, I'm writing this after switching from EndeavourOS, then ubuntu 24.10 and now Fedora 41, while having the same issue on all.

This is probably due to EA app overlay. Try disabling it in the app settings (use Protontricks to run executables inside an existing compatadata/prefix).
