First of all, I know xWayland already does this when in a Wayland session but RPCS3 (PS3 emulator) runs disgustingly bad inside Wayland on my PC, and during an Xorg session the same emulator runs perfectly, and it’s not a FPS issue or framerate, it is a problem that any game is simply unplayable because it suddenly gives stutters that do not exist in Xorg.

KDE Plasma honestly feels extremely buggy and slow on Xorg and so I don’t want to use Xorg, I would like to use Wayland and not have to log into an Xorg session every time I want to use RPCS3.

Now, I am using KDE Plasma 5.27 with Wayland and using Nvidia proprietary drivers (515).

(If Linux4Noobs existed on Lemmy I would have posted this there)

    I don’t see anyway around XWayland. You could run X in a separate VT but that wouldn’t be “in” Wayland and while you wouldn’t need to login, you’d still need to spawn it.

    You could try running RPCS3 in gamescope as a workaround, but it’s probably Nvidia + Wayland that’s the issue.

    EDIT: Have you tried running RPCS3 with both Wayland and XWayland? RPCS3 supports native Wayland as well so if it’s an XWayland only issue then that should fix it. Conversely if native Wayland is actually what is breaking it you could try:

    QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb rpcs3

    which would force XWayland. Presumably it’s QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland for wayland support, although it’s the default on my system.
