Ubuntu Movement Glitch

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide General Discussion
1

I recently swapped to Ubuntu from Win10. Running Darktide through Steam/proton. I am not very good at Ubuntu yet. Since doing so, I have noticed a glitch that only seems to occur in Darktide, and even then, only in mission. Specifically, when I am performing a large amount of inputs at once (i like melee builds, lotta inputs at one time), all of my movement keys just stop working for a second or two. This kills the hive scum, and aint great for anyone else. Renders the game largely unplayable, honestly. Has anyone else run into this? Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Apologies if this is the wrong subforum. This is where fatshark support sent me to for requesting help from other Linux users.

That’s your mistake. Should hAve gone to cashy or Bazzite.

I have used Ubuntu plenty but switched to Mint and I prefer it. The game runs fine for me + 20% faster loading times than Windows due to shaders preloaded. I’ve had trouble adding mods though.

I have the same exact issue. Tried changing keyboard, suspecting ghosting issues. But nah something seems to be up and i dont know what

I’m on Bazzite, so I’m not sure if the fix is the same on Ubuntu, but I solved this issue by going back to Proton 9.0-4 on Darktide .

If I use a more recent version of Proton, I get the exact same issue you’re describing, with all inputs suddenly stopping.

I’ve recently tried to run Darktide with Proton 10.0-3, but again, unless I use specifically 9.0-4, inputs are not reliable.

Every other game in my library works fine with the most recent version of Proton.

Only Darktide has this issue.

Unrelated question maybe but do you guys all run AMD cards or has someone made NVIDIA cards work properly?

I have a MSI Nvidia 3060 8GB card.

Bazzite works great with Nvidia so I cba to upgrade atm.
