For gaming laptops: Use DRI_PRIME=1 %command% as launch parameter because the game defaults to the igpu natively and on proton.
Very slow sensitivity in menus - not sure if this can be fixed. Also if you do very slow, precise mouse movements, there is no diagonal control, only up down left or right. e.g.: you can move the mouse in the top right direction, but ingame it only moves your camera up. Precise aiming is impossible.
Significant stuttering
ALT + F4 crashes the game and I must restart Cinnamon with CTRL + ALT + ESC to get my cursor back so I can close the game.
Unplayable. Huge performance loss issues and freezing. Game ruining bugs like your mouse sometimes being pinged off to the distance.
Resetting etc. game config files does not help.
Have issues with new installations/config file, where the maximum resolution is 1920x1200 - have to manually change in game config files.
Sometimes the game pings my cursor to a random direction. Game issue - experienced a similar bug back in 2020 on Windows 10 on completely different hardware.
UNPLAYABLE as of 25th January, when Battleye was added.
Since Battleye, there has been major freezing at the beginning of matches. Since the beginning of February, this game has MASSIVE performance loss. To the point the GPU is barely used. Some numbers: Previously, on SSAA 4x + Max settings + Max client + 1440p I was getting 130 FPS in Ground RB. Nowadays its closer to 49 - 79 FPS. Removing SSAA 4x does nothing for FPS either, getting 130 FPS where I should be getting 400+.
These are 100% GPU intensive graphics, yet my CPU is reaching 100% on a core/thread, which I assume is a culprit or symptom. Updating kernels will change nothing. Experiencing similar problems on a different PC.
Distant terrain flickered once per game session/test drive
Freezing at start of matches
Freezes at beginning of Ground Tank battles - leads to crashing into teammates, spinning in circles and having a major disadvantage. Allegedly playing through launcher fixes this issue. Ongoing issue for several months. You can find the full bug report here: https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/Gzuh9IYe7yLp
Should run faster than on Windows 10 & 11 otherwise. e.g In tank test drive: Max graphics + SSAA 4x + 2560x1440 = ~110 FPS Windows vs ~125 FPS Linux
