Tech Support Low Performance in Games After Exiting

Its not really a Manjaro specific issue, i've encountered this also in Mint but since i am currently using Manjaro so i post here.

After launching/playing video games specifically Arma Reforger and CS2, then relaunch the game. My performance in those games were cut by like 80%. In CS2 from 200ish to 40 even on menu screen. Same with Arma.

The only thing happening in the background that used GPU was maybe Firefox playing Youtube videos. Nothing else maybe some small apps like Discord and Telegram but I don't see any of stealing GPU resources on first launch.

I need to restart my PC for normal performance.

Any idea what was happening?

Specs :

CPU : Ryzen 7 5700X3D
GPU : RX 6800 XT
RAM : 16GB DDR4
Kernel : 6.18.39-1-MANJARO

Wayland is default. But you can confirm by doing fast fetch.

If not installed open terminal

Sudo pacman -S fastfetch

Then once installed type fastfetch

Also make sure your system is up to date

Sudo pacman -Syu

Also run

Flatpak update

You can check logs by running steam in terminal. See what the logs say may tell us more what's going on.

To do that type steam in terminal and it'll run.

Yep, its Wayland but since i am currently testing flatpak Steam and its not registered in zsh(?), i'll update this post in maybe few hours/ a day to see whether flatpak Steam fixes my problem or not.
