Severe input delay in-game

Support Game Support

Operating system: Void Linux
Game version: 0.74.4
Theme: Rebirth

Whenever I start playing a file, my inputs suddenly become very delayed (don’t know exactly how much delay there is, but I believe it to be around 100-200ms). What’s weird is that my inputs seem to be working just fine in menus, including the gameplay settings.

Is this issue common on Linux devices? I have not encountered anything remotely like this on my Windows laptop. If it helps in any way, I’m using the i3 window manager running on x11, but the same issue happens on Gnome on xorg.

Yeah that happens on because it forces vsync to the game, usually you have to specify some environment variables to fix that.

Try this:
env vblank_mode=0 __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0 [whatever you do to run etterna]

Thank you for the help, but I’m a bit stuck on the ‘whatever you use to run etterna’ part. I’m not very good at using the Linux terminal.

I usually cd into the game’s directory and use ./Etterna to run it. Using __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0 by itself doesn’t seem to have done anything. I’m sorry for bothering, but what do I do here?

If you’re running it via ./Etterna, you can just do env vblank_mode=0 ./Etterna if that’s what works for you, assuming that’s what you’re talking about.
