ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN
Gamemode command necessary for acceptable performance / Nvidia open drivers cause game to fail to launch game
Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental
Windowing:Other
Have to set to Fullscreen, not borderless fullscreen. Borderless fullscreen experienced worse performance
Performance:Significant Performance Problems
Use gamemoded -r before launch to prevent severe stuttering and keep it running in a terminal.
Please note, I did not experience significantly better performance until I added my linux account to the gamemode group using sudo usermod -aG gamemode [USERNAME HERE]
Instability:Frequently
When using Nvidia open 570/575 drivers, the game was unable to launch. Reverting to 550 drivers fixed the issue. Seemed to be crashing post-EAC (white screen of death as I have seen it called online)
The issues I describe above appear to be related strictly to Intel CPUs and may be related to split lock mitigation in the Linux Kernel
