TheAnnoyingFruit Posted December 29, 2025 Report Posted December 29, 2025 Hello all, I have been having some not so stellar performance on vintage story on my pc with an i5 12600k and an rx 6700xt. I am running bazzite using the vintage story flatpak. I get ok fps on the high end but get pretty big drops. Was just wondering is this just how performance is or is it a problem. From what I have heard vintage story is very performant on low end hardware and I have pretty powerful hardware. Slight side note I also experience a full crash of kwin after a few hours of playing.

Vintage Story runs very well on a variety of hardware, and if you're playing on something better than an absolute potato that should cut down on performance issues. If you're playing with mods those are the first thing to check when it comes to performance issues, but otherwise it's difficult to say for sure what could be causing the problem. Unfortunately, AMD hardware seems to be a common denominator when it comes to problems like these, but the exact root of the problem and the solutions all seem to differ from user to user. The best I can say is outside of checking things like drivers and background programs, keep an eye on what you're doing in the game to see if there's any kind of consistency to when the frame drops happen. If you can figure out a pattern it's much easier to track down the exact problem. Aside from that, you might consider submitting a bug report to the Github bug tracker, especially if you are getting crash logs.
pigfood Posted December 30, 2025 Report Posted December 30, 2025 I'm running VS with a 6900XT at 4k resolution on Linux. The frame rate is stable at 60fps (vsync enabled) and around 70% GPU load. If you are not running at 4k, your GPU should be fine.
TheAnnoyingFruit Posted January 13 Author Report Posted January 13 Performance is mostly fine now. I fixed the kwin crashing via using the wayland environment variable "OPENTK_4_USE_WAYLAND=1".
