Hello, I made a post about this issue I’m encountering on Fedora Discussion and the users suggested me to open a discussion also here.
A few months ago I installed Fedora on my MSI Thin GF63 12UCX (Intel+Nvidia GPU) but I never actually played any intensive games on in until now.
The game I’m facing most issues with is Genshin Impact (launched using a modified Wine TKG build). I’m experiencing the same issues also with other games, and sometimes with just some HW accelerated applications running (Zen browser, Cider, etc.)
I noticed that after I close a game, the entire desktop will be all glitchy / flickering.
Here’s a video of the graphical bug.
The entire desktop is also very laggy while I’m gaming (opening the tray, menus, tabs).
The only solution I found was restarting plasmashell with:
kquitapp6 plasmashell
kstart plasmashell
Which is a workaround for an issue I had in the past that caused the desktop to crash when I plugged in a secondary monitor (at the moment I just have the laptop with me).
I’m sure the game runs on the 2050 (I don’t think Intel UHD can achieve that performance).
The power LED turns orange when the dedicated GPU is working (white otherwise).
The rest of the system corrupts fairly quickly if I try to open Zen Browser or other applications while playing the game. The apps and desktop freeze, but the game still works with choppy FPS (no corruption). What I usually do at that point is close all the apps and kill plasmashell, so I have just the game full-screen borderless (FPS returns to normal 60+).
When I’m finished, I just close the game, Ctrl+Alt+T and kstart plasmashell.
That pretty much restores the system to a usable state (also a reboot works too).
Did anyone experience the same issues I’m having? Do you have any suggestions?
