This configuration works flawlessly so far. The gamescope options aren't entirely necessary.
game-performance gamescope -W 3840 -H 2160 -r 165 -F fsr --adaptive-sync --hdr-enabled -f --force-grab-cursor --mangoapp -- %command%
My previous report using vanilla Arch was a good experience until I encountered certain sections of the game where frametime spikes became unbearable. At some points, the game would become unplayable. I tried various kernels including zen, bazzite, and cachyos. I tried various configurations including and excluding gamescope, gamemode, VRR, FSR, HDR, but nothing seemed to work. I tried to replicate this in Arch with this guide: https://wiki.cachyos.org/configuration/gaming/ but it just became a Frankenstein distribution which I didn't feel was sustainable and it didn't help the stuttering. Something about the CachyOS distro taken in whole turned out to be the secret sauce to a better experience.
Aside from the occasional frametime spike (usually during dialog), game runs better than on Windows.
gamemoderun gamescope -W 3840 -H 2160 -r 165 --hdr-enabled --adaptive-sync -f --force-grab-cursor --mangoapp -- %command%
During dialog after frametime spikes. Resolved when next character begins speaking.
Camera rotation would stop. Fixed with --force-grab-cursor
Occasional frametime spikes that freeze the game for a fraction of a second.
Only issue is the occasional frametime spike. Have not tried different kernels but I imagine they wouldn't make a difference.
