Title. Turning off the fancy effects (which can be done with Alt+Shift+F12) improves performance slightly, but having to toggle them on and off every time I start a game is… Y’know. A thing.
I was wondering if there was a way to automate it, like game opens -> they turn off, game process ends -> they turn back on
Just use Wayland, then you don’t have to care about this

Nice non answer. Wayland draws giant black boxes on my rocket league half the time so that won’t work.

As a matter of fact, I switched out of Ubunth which had this and other issues, no black boxes on Fedora.

Unfortunately Wayland breaks Inkscape and GIMP and even caused Firefox to be unstable for me.
So like
Thanks but no thanks?
Maybe in 5 years. Let it stay in the oven for a bit longer.
There’s a ‘gamemode’ package (arch wiki) but it’s more for niceness and gpu governor.
My proposal: figure out how you can disable effects via cli on KDE and create a little script.
Yeah I have gamemode and use it.
But I see.

I was under the impression this was done automatically when in full-screen, are you sure this isn’t the case?
It might? I don’t use exclusive fullscreen ever. :P I’m too ADHD for that. I always have chat windows on my second screen and am constantly tabbing out on load screen and shit.
you can create a application or window rule via the game’s window operation menu’s “more” submenu (can use the equivilant shortcut if full screen or no border) once you open the dialog, the thing you’d be looking to add is “block compositing” set to “force”. it will automatically turn compositing back on once the process is closed
Ooooo fancy. Noted, will attempt.
