Lags when i play something

Ask Fedora
1

Hi there!

I’m new to linux and i have a problem with my fedora 39. When i play something (Baldurs Gate 3 or The Witcher 3 ) my pc goes wild. I cant open any program, it can eventually just freeze and then i can do nothing but just reboot it. I have a decent pc. its not something very expensive:
CPU: R5 5600G
GPU: RX5700XT
RAM: 2x8gb Kingstone 3200
Motherboard: MSI B500A Pro
My Fedora is installed on SSD
Games are on a M.2 drive

I just dont understand WHY? I know that i run it through Proton (8.0-4)… but its not supposed to be like that.

UPD: Recently, while playing The Witcher 3 had a crash and sda3 (which is my main partition) error.
Reinstalled my whole system on my m.2 drive. I think this whole situation was because my ssd was only like 120 gb. Will test things today
UPD2: The problem seems to be solved… now it runs perfectly and without crashes/lags and so on.
The problem was with my ssd as i think, but im not sure

Sorry for my english btw, its not my first language

Please note that I edited your post and added the preformatted text tags with the </> button on the toolbar so the output from inxi is displayed as formatted on-screen.

Thanks.

I don’t see anything in what you posted that might indicate a reason for a lag.

I assume you are using steam. If so then be aware that as yet steam is only using 32 bit so the proton config within steam may be the cause. For some games I have to specify the proton version to use.

Admittedly proton is fault free. could be incompatibility. I would think contacting proton system directly and see if the machine using is in need of some upgrade.
