[help][solved] Getting input lag on Bazzite
-
That’s getting old school. I had to do the same thing to get Shovel Knight to accept input properly about 10 years ago.
I sent a message to the dev about it, but there wasn’t a Linux port yet so they were stumped. I changed the repeat rate of the key input in kde and there it went like magic.
Another comment has this down to a bug in IBus, which is for supporting typing non-latin characters.

So I get a proper solution, mostly (I think a proper proper solution would be having the bug fixed)

Nice, that does seem to be the issue! By searching for that environment variable, I also found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1eqrnjr/psa_recent_ibus_releases_introduce_noticeable/
It seems IBus is the cause of this lag. I have made the change as the post you linked suggested, and it seems to have fixed it! I found some people having issues with the value of 0 and so will try out for a while to see if the hybrid 2 value is stable.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I have Bazzite but for handhelds and I knew they did have some issues with input lag but couldn't remember the specifics. Glad I could help and that you found a solution that works.
