How do I even begin to troubleshoot this?

Steam games work fine. Linux-native games work fine. In Wine games, the game video seems to pause for 1.5s, then plays for 2.5s. Audio is unaffected. It seems like the frames are lagged, not lost; when video resumes, the “missing” frames play back very quickly, like the video is “catching up”. This happens even in the games’ launcher windows before 3D rendering or GPU load occurs. Mouse pointer does not lag or pause.

This happens in both wine-ge 8.26 and WineHQ Staging 9.22.

The weirdest thing is that without changing any settings, the same games will run fine about 1 out of 20 launches.

Thanks for any input.

    Did you enable the full logs in the last configuration TAB on Lutris? Aggressive logging in wine can be needed sometimes but can also tank performance

    Also, try running the game directly through Wine, without Lutris and see if issue persists

      I don’t believe so, I do not see the option either.

      On further testing, the problem appears to be GameMode-related, disabling that makes Wine programs run without the lag. However, Also, now attempting to run Wine programs in fullscreen (any resolution) causes the whole system to severely lag and it takes a very long time to Alt-Tab out or Ctrl-Alt-Fkey into a tty session.
